Chapter 203: Chapter 100 Justice [Added]_1

"Spirit Child!" The Pill Furnace Elder quickly shielded Chen Lingtong, a stream of True Qi channeling into his body to resist the pressure from Empress Feng.

Compared to actual damage, what Empress Feng instilled in the child was more of a spiritual fear, which could be either minor or serious. In the best case, it might just cause a nightmare and then, be over. But in the worst case, it could potentially impact his Taoist Heart in the future.

Seeing his grandson being harmed, the Pill Furnace Elder could not restrain himself anymore. He upended his furnace, pouring out a flurry of multicolored lights that enveloped Chen Lingtong completely.

He then pointed at Empress Feng, "If you want to battle, follow me!"

He still retained his sense of reason, knowing that they should not fight on the sacred ground of Tontian Peak.

Empress Feng was instantly filled with a fighting spirit, "Alright, old fool, it has been years since I last had a fight with you. I’ve long wanted to teach you a lesson."

Still, the confrontation between the two did not happen after all.

As soon as their respective forces clashed, it was as if a spark had ignited a planet. The entire Tontian Peak felt the terrifying vortex.

Several voices instantly rang out.

"Old Chen, what are you doing?" "Why are you bickering on Tontian Peak?" "You both, stop it now!"

All of a sudden, three more figures appeared in the arena without anyone knowing where they had come from.

One was an old man in a broad white robe, with black hair and a strong build. His right eye, however, was blue-gold, unlike an eyeball it looked like a gemstone was embedded into it. His left arm was pure black, as if cast from meteoric iron.

His body had several places which seemed to have been put together artificially.

Elder Chuan Jian!

Chu Liang had seen him once before and recognized him as Wen Yulong’s master.

The second was a scholarly looking middle-aged man, attired like a cultured gentleman, elegant, and always seen with a smile on his face.

He was standing between Empress Feng and the Pill Furnace Elder, like a rock amidst a roaring stream, effortlessly stopping the clash of their auras.

This should be the Law-enforcement Elder.

Chu Liang had never met him, but judging by the identities of everyone present, it can be inferred that it was him.

The third was a tall elderly lady, in black, with hair pulled back, a frosty look on her face and wrinkles all over her skin but her eyes burned bright like a torch.

Law Enforcement Elder!

She had the strongest presence among the four Zhenshan Elders, often found around Shu Mountain sanctioning any disciples who broke the rules. Her ruthless and merciless reputation made her the most feared person among the students.

In the past, whenever Empress Feng would stir up trouble on Shu Mountain, it was mostly trivial stuff that the elders would not be bothered to interfere with. But today, as two individuals from the Seventh Realm clashed, it turned into a serious matter.

After a brief stand-off, the remaining three Zhenshan Elders all arrived together!

"Old Chen, why are you fighting with her?" Elder Chuan Jian asked the Pill Furnace Elder in confusion.

"She attacked a child, how could I overlook that?" the Pill Furnace Elder replied solemnly.

"Don’t slander me, old man. That kid was misbehaving, and I was just asking him a question. So, being a Zhenshan Elder on Shu Mountain means that one’s relatives can commit all sorts of evil deeds?" Empress Feng loudly retorted.

After her words, the faces of the other three Zhenshan Elders could not help but change.

Law Enforcement Elder started speaking in a cold voice: "Do not make false accusations. We are certainly not unreasonable. If you feel wronged, feel free to share."

Upon seeing Law Enforcement Elder, Empress Feng pursed her lips. Throughout her time on Shu Mountain, if there was anyone she was cautious of, it was none other than the Law Enforcement Elder.

She gently nudged Chu Liang, "Time to reason."

In the past, she would always be at a disadvantage during this part of the argument, but ever since she had this new disciple, Empress Feng gradually began to find pleasure in reasoning.

If Chu Liang said he wasn’t nervous while standing in front of the four Zhenshan Elders, it would be a lie. But externally, he remained humble but firm, offering a respectful bow to everyone.

"Esteemed Elders, initially it wasn’t a big deal," Chu Liang recounted the incident of Chen Lingtong’s attack on the spirit beast and everything that followed. Finally, he said, "I believe Elder Pill Furnace must not have known about any of this. It seems his disciples have taken advantage of their position to bully others. Had Elder Pill Furnace known, I’m sure he wouldn’t ignore reason, right?"

"Furthermore, Elder Zhang Juque is already aware of the situation. If this isn’t handled properly, it would harm our Shu Mountain’s reputation once it gets out. So, I ask esteemed elders, please stand up for us disciples."

After he finished speaking, the crowd’s attention turned to Elder Pill Furnace.

Looking a bit strange, Elder Pill Furnace paused before speaking, "I did indeed just learn about this. Zhang Juque has already disciplined my disciples reprimanded my disciples. I also plan to severely penalize them. This should be considered settled. However, before I could explain, this witch barged in and unreasonably wounded my disciples even further!"

Pointing to a corner, it was evident that Liu Qin and Lu Xun were still displayed on the wall.

"I didn’t witness Zhang Juque punishing them, so why on Earth should I consider this being even?" declared a confident Empress Feng.

"Enough," the Law-enforcement Elder waved his hand gently and spoke, "This appears to be a simple misunderstanding. Since Elder Pill Furnace is also ready to punish his errant disciples, there’s clearly no intention to favor them. Empress Feng, you were a bit impatient, but neither party has suffered any losses, so there’s no need for more disputes."

Tears welled up in Lu Xun’s eyes.

What do they mean no one suffered any losses?

We two brothers, along with a child, got beaten up twice, while only a golden fur beast from Silver Sword Peak was injured. Clearly, we suffered the most!

"What do you mean no one suffered losses?!" Empress Feng also shouted, "Their beatings were deserved! My adorable golden fur beast was beaten for no reason at all while just walking down the road! Who is providing compensation for this unjust calamity? It’s traumatized now, holed up in Silver Sword Peak, refusing to eat or drink, or even come out. Who is compensifying for this long-term damage?"

"You are relentless!" Elder Pill Furnace roared, "I haven’t even brought up the matter of your disciple being injured..."

"It was deserved!" Empress Feng glared at him, "Do you know why he was beaten? It’s all because of you! Had you not spoiled and pampered him so, how would he have turned out such a brat? Beating him on Shu Mountain was for his protection, to teach him a lesson - when he steps outside, not everyone will be his Grandpa Zeng!"

"If you don’t discipline him properly, getting beaten will be...." Empress Feng glanced at Chen Lingtong.

Even though she didn’t emit any pressure, she merely looked at him.

However, Chen Lingtong suddenly felt a wave of fear again.

This brat felt that the woman would indeed kill him casually. The young mind was immediately covered by shadows, and he didn’t even have time to cry before he fainted from fear!

Elder Pill Furnace supported his grandson and discovering no injuries, ascertained it was only fright and avoided waking him up.

Law Enforcement Elder nodded, "You indulge your young grandson excessively, it’s well known he’s caused quite the ruckus on Shu Mountain over the past few years."

"You need to properly discipline children, or else a talented kid can easily take the wrong path," Elder Chuan Jian added.

Everyone on Shu Mountain knew about Elder Pill Furnace spoiling his grandson, but they never made a fuss due to his status.

Now, Silver Sword Peak’s brash enforcer exposes everything, making it hard to look the other way.

"Fine." Knowing his ultimate fragility, Elder Pill Furnace gritted his teeth, "I will discipline the child from now on, punish the disciples, and since you have hit people today, let’s stop here."

For him, this was a major loss of face, and he just wanted to quickly bring the dispute to an end.

"Did you not hear me clearly?" Empress Feng asked with a frown, "Beating them was just to vent, it was of no use to me. But my mount was hurt, how will you compensate? You should at least pay the medical bills."

"And for emotional distress," Chu Liang added quietly.

And you still want compensation...

Elder Pill Furnace glared at Empress Feng, finally understanding the meaning of gaining an advantage and still pressing for more.

"Empress Feng, you mustn’t push too hard." The Law Enforcement Elder spoke up, trying to diffuse the tension. Turning to Elder Pill Furnace, she added, "Your grandson and disciples were wrong and should indeed compensate. Since a spirit beast was injured, why not give an Advancement Spirit Pill as compensation. How about that?"

Huh?

Chu Liang was a bit puzzled. This Law Enforcement Elder sounded like she was on his side.

"Aunt Tian, Empress Feng raised her thumb and praised."Fair."
