Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming Chapter 416 - 416 329
416: Chapter 329 416: Chapter 329 Luo Yaxuan was observing his junior sister-apprentice, master, and the servant disciples who had consud the antidote.
As they began to recover, he prepared to lead them down the mountain again.
Lai Jianlin was dealing with the custody of so many prisoners; they couldn’t simply let them wander off on their own.
Moreover, the bandits in the square also needed to be legally dealt with.
He sent out two subordinates to inform the authorities to co and arrest these bandits and to ensure the safety of the released prisoners as they departed.
This matter wasn’t suitable for the two young lords to handle themselves.
Leaving a few subordinates behind to help with the situation, their group, along with the people they rescued, boarded a flying artifact but didn’t leave imdiately; they stayed to watch what happened next.
When you rescue soone, you should see it through to the end.
Since this place had been so chaotic with bandits, it was possible that the officials might have accomplices among them.
It was necessary to ensure that all the bandits were legally dealt with.
As expected, the two people they had sent were disciples of the Lai Family, and among the elite at that.
They had joined another Immortal Sect to learn spells when they were around fifteen or sixteen years old.
They were also among the people who had recently returned to the family, knowing that the Lai Family was rising in power.
Hoping to one day enter the Saint Sect and beco its disciples, they were willing to stay with their family.
This ti on his journey, Family Head Lai, not feeling assured, had sent along four male disciples to accompany his young family head.
Lai Jianlin’s possession of the Golden Core Stage at such a young age had earned him their utmost admiration and obedience.
When they arrived at the county governnt office from the sky, they descended from the high altitude.
With their strength at the initial stage of Foundation Establishnt, they were able to fly effortlessly on the flying artifact and landed with ease on the rooftop of the county governnt office.
Noticing that the county governnt office was rather quiet, he jumped down into the courtyard, only to be confronted by hidden guards who ran out shouting, “Who are these disrespectful people breaking into the governntal authorities’ space?
State your nas at once!”
“Where is your county magistrate?”
“Our venerable county magistrate is not to be casually summoned by the likes of you!
It seems you two don’t know the rules and are quite audacious.
Guards, arrest them!”
Suddenly, many governnt officials poured out from all directions.
Holding weapons in their hands, they put on an intimidating front.
While ordinary folk might be subdued by them, they were not facing ordinary people.
These were elites from a second-rate noble clan, no strangers to the world’s affairs.
They deed such small-ti characters unworthy of their attention.
In Immortal Lord City, only first-rate and second-rate noble clans and lesser family powers were present.
Official families dared not show the slightest disrespect toward them.
In the cultivation world, as long as one had strength, official families didn’t dare offend, because they feared defeat.
Moreover, with enough power, one could beco king or dominate a territory.
Take the Mountain King, for example; it wasn’t that he was so powerful that the governntal authorities feared him, but rather he was an expert in concocting various poisons, so of which no one could cure.
That was why everyone feared him, and the governntal authorities dared not suppress the bandits for fear of retaliation, which would leave them in a state of unbearable suffering.
Surrounded by so many governnt officials, the two elites of the Lai Family were unfazed, looking down on them with disdain.
It was only after they were surrounded that a man dressed in official clothing erged from inside.
The man was corpulent and oafish, with a face reminiscent of a pig’s snout.
His official robes were large-sized, and his walking was awkward, as if his legs couldn’t support his body weight—though, in truth, he had bowlegs.
That such a figure could serve as a county magistrate prompted the two young n from the Lai Family to furrow their brows in disdain.
Accompanying the man in official attire was soone dressed in civilian clothes.
With a beard resembling the character “八” and dressed akin to an advisor, he addressed the two young n before him with an air of authority, “Who goes there?
State your nas quickly, or we’ll arrest you for interrogation and punishnt.”
One of the two young n from the Lai Family replied contemptuously, “And who are you to command us?
I co here, and you dare not offer proper hospitality.
No wonder this place is overrun with bandits; it’s because of your incompetence.
You know that bandits are around but fail to suppress them.
Pompous in front of us—they’re afraid of bandits, those who bully the weak and fear the strong.
Are you blind?
Do we look that easy to bully?”
Referencing themselves as ‘Grandfather,’ they irked the advisor and caused the county magistrate’s face to jiggle with rage, his fat finger shaking at them, speechless in his fury.
“It seems you won’t understand until you’re in your coffins.
Guards, take them into custody!”
The advisor, glimpsing the county magistrate’s anger, recognized that the situation was serious.
While the public wouldn’t dare treat them this way, nor brazenly intrude upon the governnt office, even if so figures from the martial world did, their guards were not weaklings.
Each had trained in martial arts, and several were at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
The advisor himself also practiced ancient martial arts, training in thods different from those of cultivators.
He didn’t recognize that these two young n had abilities far surpassing theirs!
Among the governnt officials, so were cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage, but he couldn’t discern that the abilities of these two young n before him were higher.
He then approached the situation with cautiousness.
Accustod to throwing their weight around, they thought that with so many of them against just two, victory should be theirs.
Moreover, they covertly held poisons, supplied by the Mountain King, in their hands.
This collusion and their formidable reputation was why people were terrified of them.
