Full-Time Magister: Crimson Lion, the Strongest Divine Soul!

Chapter 44 I am the Chief Justice of the Forbidden City; who dares disobey my orders! [Please continue reading]

After hanging up the phone, Li Xuan told Ding Yumin that he was going on a long trip, and then rode the Sky Soaring Bird, which had undergone divine soul evolution, to Hangzhou.

During this time, he also sent Nightwing to collect things from the White Eagle's territory. Nightwing was chosen because it had the ability to collect things and could fly.

We need to get the eagleskin as soon as possible, because the patient's life can't wait.

As for Luo Mian and the like, he will personally eliminate them!

……

Soon, Li Xuan arrived at the Hangzhou court.

Upon entering through the main gate, Li Xuan took out the token that Pang Lai had prepared long ago and handed it to the judge.

Yes, the Forbidden City's chief court token; seeing the token is like seeing Pontius Pontius himself!

The judge's eyes widened the moment he saw the token, and his expression instantly became extremely respectful. After confirming it repeatedly, he quickly bowed to Li Xuan.

"Greetings, Your Excellency. We were unaware of your presence and hope you will forgive our intrusion!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding judges all stopped in their tracks and bowed respectfully.

This scene is enough to demonstrate just how important Pang Lai's position as the chief courtier in the Forbidden City was!

"Ah Xuan, you're amazing in this world!" Sky Flying Bird said with slight surprise.

"A small matter."

Li Xuan smiled and replied, then waved slightly to the judges:

"It's alright, I've come here on urgent business. Where is Councilor Zhu Meng?"

The judge straightened up and quickly replied, "Your Excellency is in the meeting room. I will take you there now."

Having said that, he quickly led the way.

Li Xuan followed with the Sky-Soaring Bird.

Before long, they arrived at a conference hall.

The mages guarding the entrance were all of high rank, with a super-rank court mage among them.

"Your Excellency!" Upon seeing the token that Li Xuan displayed, the palace guards bowed respectfully and then opened the gate.

Before he even stepped into the hall, a furious roar reached Li Xuan's ears:

"I advise you to hand over the Black Serpent now, or don't blame me for being ruthless when the Chief sends someone over!"

"The totem snake will never harm anyone!"

The totemists remain steadfast in their beliefs.

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events, and the argument quickly escalated.

"Hey, do you think arguing like this will get you anywhere?" Sky Bird bluntly interrupted.

The voice emanating from Li Xuan instantly attracted the attention of most of the high-ranking officials present.

Everyone was astonished. How did such a young boy get in? What were the guardian mages at the door up to?!

"Who are you? This meeting hall is not a place you can just barge into!"

At this moment, a councilor with a goatee angrily rebuked Li Xuan.

Li Xuan remained calm, glancing indifferently at the speaker, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

This person was none other than the culprit behind all these events—Luo Mian!

Li Xuan ignored Luo Mian and turned to look at Zhu Meng, whose face was full of anger, and said with a smile, "Old Zhu, your temper is as bad as ever!"

Zhu Meng was a member of the Former Palace Council and had been an old acquaintance of Li Xuan since their days in the capital.

He is also a powerful lightning-type super-level mage.

At that moment, seeing Li Xuan walk in, he blurted out, "What, it's you here, kid? Didn't the chief send any other experts?!"

Li Xuan retorted irritably, "You don't even have any evidence, how could the teacher just send someone to you? Old Zhu, you're still as reckless as ever!"

Zhu Meng seemed unconcerned about Li Xuan's mockery and comments, simply shrugging casually. "It's fine that you're here. Join my men and take down these guys!"

Zhu Meng was deeply impressed by Li Xuan's strength.

That's an existence capable of fighting against super-class beings while maintaining a high level of power, with a very high chance of winning.

Just recently, Li Xuan personally led the effort to wipe out the Lizard-Skull Giant Demon tribe in Jinlin Wasteland.

Most importantly, Li Xuan's style of doing things is even more ruthless and decisive than his.

If Zhu Meng was straightforward, then Li Xuan was simply righteous and ruthless.

The incident involving Lu Nian alone demonstrates that Li Xuan has absolutely no tolerance for those corrupt officials who commit wrongdoing.

Once you encounter one, you will show no mercy.

Moreover, Pang Lai didn't seem to care about this at all, and even directly granted Li Xuan the power of the chief.

You should know that it is the Forbidden City Court's Chief Token, which symbolizes supreme power and is enough to mobilize super-level mages!

"That won't do. You don't even have any evidence that the totem snake is harming people. It's against the rules for me to help you."

Li Xuan spread his hands and pulled up a chair next to him to sit down.

Seeing that Li Xuan ignored him, Luo Mian was even more furious, but he was also wary of Li Xuan's identity.

"People have already died from the poison, isn't that enough evidence? Only by executing the Totem Serpent can we appease the spirits of the dead!" Zhu Meng said angrily.

"The Totem Serpent wouldn't do that!" Luo Mian directly contradicted Zhu Meng.

"The man is already dead. If you can't give me an explanation, you'd better hand over the totem snake!" Zhu Meng showed no respect for Luo Mian whatsoever.

As a seventh-realm mind-based cultivator, Li Xuan could sense those with lower spiritual levels than himself even without using magic.

Luo Mian's ulterior motives were perfectly clear to him.

"Guards, seize Luo Mian!"

Li Xuan had no intention of being a positive figure; he came here to use swift and decisive measures to eliminate Luo Mian.

These words shocked everyone.

"What do you mean by this!" Zhu Meng stared intently at Li Xuan, now unsure of Li Xuan's stance.

"Utterly arrogant! Zhu Meng, you'd better keep your people in check!" Luo Mian was no longer afraid and flew into a rage.

As fellow councilors, even though Zhu Meng came from the Forbidden City, he didn't think the other party was qualified to take him down, let alone this arrogant young man.

"To receive an order is to see the person; I am the chief of the Imperial Court, who dares to disobey my command!"

Li Xuan's expression was cold and stern as he slowly raised the token in his hand.

The moment the token was presented, the entire conference hall fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the token.

At the same time, they all looked at Li Xuan, who was casually sitting in a chair, with an incredulous expression.

Especially Tang Yue and Leng Qing, who already knew Li Xuan, were in a state of turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

Although they knew that Li Xuan was Pang Lai's disciple, they never expected that he would actually possess a token that could represent the chief's orders.

"Men, seize him!"

Zhu Meng frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but in the end he chose to believe Li Xuan.

Luo Mian's face turned ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead. He never expected that Li Xuan's identity was so profound.

"What right do you have to arrest me? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're the chief's token? That's incredibly arrogant!"
