Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Zhang Xuan shook his head and said, "That's not it, I just want to say that judging only by their side of the story might be a bit childish..."

"Fine, I can ask others!"

Households Commander Shen looked around. "Did any of you see what actually happened?"

"We didn't see anything..."

"We don't know!"

The people around all waved their hands, not wanting to invite trouble upon themselves.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Households Commander Shen snorted coldly.

Zhang Xuan did not expect that trying to be the good person would land him in such big trouble; he frowned and said, "What do you intend to do?"

"At the Wanxiang Sect's Teleportation Formations, brawling is prohibited. You ignored the rules and intentionally hurt someone. We will now take you back for interrogation. Once the facts are confirmed, we will direct destroy your cultivation!"

Households Commander Shen declared.

"Lord Shen, he not only assaulted someone intentionally, but he also stole a lot of money from me... If you don't believe it, you can search his storage rings!"

The middle-aged man hastily added.

"A thief? Hand over your storage ring for me to inspect!"

Households Commander Shen extended his palm.

"Just on the basis of a random accusation, you want to conduct a search? By that logic, if I were to say you're a thief, should you also produce your storage rings for me to inspect?"

Zhang Xuan retorted with angry laughter.

"How dare you! Theft and arbitrary physical assault, and now, you even dare to slander me; you've got quite the audacity. Bring him to the underground prison for a thorough investigation!"

"Yes!"

Following his command, several guards clad in metal armor promptly stepped forward and surrounded Zhang Xuan.

"It seems you are all in league, and all this is just an excuse..."

Seeing that the other party completely ignored his explanation and brazenly added crimes to his name, Zhang Xuan understood what was happening.

Even if they were not in cahoots, there must be some underhanded dealings at play. They would target those who had money but no power to defend themselves, take the opportunity to strike, and sully them with a crime. As long as there was no resistance, they would extort mercilessly until they had squeezed out a fortune.

Such a cunning plan.

The cost of long-distance teleportation was exorbitant, so generally, only those who can afford a one-way trip, carrying all the resources and wealth of their families, would choose it. Most crucially, they are strangers in a strange land, merely wishing to depart without causing trouble.

This made them easy targets for these people to join forces against and extract a significant sum of wealth from.

It looks like this was not the first time for the other party. Even... that pair of grandfather and grandson might be part of the scheme, deliberately baiting hot-blooded individuals to take action. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

"You brat, daring to lay hands on guards, your crime is elevated by one grade. You won't die but you will be skinned. If you don't resist, just wait to be captured!"

Seeing the numerous guards surrounding Zhang Xuan, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a playful smile.

Just as Zhang Xuan guessed, this middle-aged man had done this many times before, each time profiting quite a bit. Without a hitch, this youngster would also be unlucky.

The many guards drew their long sabers and thrust them forward.

Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Xuan was about to retaliate when a thought occurred to him.

Try merging the gases from before!

Whoo!

With a flick of his finger, the merged strength of Youqing Destiny and Fox Charm Destiny transformed into thin, invisible lines that extended into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, he landed on a middle-aged man who was smugly proud. The latter suddenly froze, then frantically dashed forward, his palm stretched out, and swung a slap towards Households Commander Shen, who was watching the commotion from not too far away.

Households Commander Shen did not expect him to take action, and before he could react, he was struck in the face.

Bang!

The force of a Galaxy 6-dan Peak expert was like a tsunami. The guard in Golden Armor felt a momentary halt in his breathing and was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and coughing up mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"You..."

Households Commander Shen struggled to get up, about to ask what was wrong with the man, when he saw that he had already rushed into the group of armored guards, slapping each one with his palm. In just two breaths, all the people surrounding Zhang Xuan were lying on the ground, incapacitated.

"Yao Chunwen, you dare to lay hands on us, what audacity!"

Households Commander Shen's face turned red with anger. Paying no heed to reprimanding Zhang Xuan, he drew his short saber, waved his hand, and slashed at the middle-aged man called Yao Chunwen.

Although he was also strong, he was only at the Galaxy 4-dan level, and how could he be the opponent of someone at 6-dan, Yao Chunwen flicked his finger and deflected the incoming long saber, immediately throwing a punch in return.

Households Commander Shen was sent flying more than ten meters, kneeling on the ground, vomiting blood profusely, unable to even speak.

"What..."

"What happened?"

"I have no idea..."

Inside the room, no one expected such a turn of events, they all exchanged glances, with puzzled faces, even Empyrean Kong shi frowned without understanding.

Only Zhang Xuan's eyes grew brighter.

He hadn't expected this blended breath to be so powerful!

"It was I who intentionally framed this friend; he is innocent. I am now willing to offer all my resources as an apology!"

Yao Chunwen stopped, removed a storage ring from his hand, and passed it to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan took the ring, his palm gently caressed it, and the Heaven's Path zhenqi immediately surged in, quickly erasing the Soul Imprint, and then imprinted his own will onto it before peering inside.

The space inside the ring wasn't large, but in a corner, there was a large pile of Destiny Plates, densely packed, amounting to seven or eight thousand.

"Since you are so sincere in your apology, I'll accept it..."

Too lazy to speak further, Zhang Xuan stored the ring in the Suspended Realm. After doing this, he looked at Households Commander Shen not too far away: "Lord, as you saw, he has admitted to doing the wrong thing, and I did not initiate any action. Does this mean there's no issue now?"

"You, you... there's no issue!"

Households Commander Shen, clutching his injured chest, struggled to get up, narrowing his eyes hatefully at Yao Chunwen: "Someone fetch Yao Chunwen, he attacked the guards and caused a ruckus in the Wanxiang Sect, arrest him..."

"Yes!"

Outside the door, another group of armored guards immediately rushed in, cautiously surrounding Yao Chunwen.

It was assumed he would fight back furiously again, but unexpectedly, whether out of fear or having depleted his strength, Yao Chunwen, the same man who had just sent Households Commander Shen flying with a punch, his legs suddenly gave way and he collapsed heavily to the ground, blacking out.

"Take him away!"

Households Commander Shen didn't care whether it was an act or not, stomped on him several times, breaking his chest, leg, and arm bones, ensuring no further resistance, then called out.

The guards immediately lifted the man and took him away.

Households Commander Shen gave Zhang Xuan a cold glance, wanting to erupt but having no reason to do so, he strode out with a flick of his wrist.

The room quieted down once more.

Just as Zhang Xuan was about to return to his seat, the grandfather and grandson from before rushed over anxiously.

"Sir, the person just now... Yao Chunwen took away 2000 of our Destiny Plates, and he has given you his storage ring. Could you please take them out and return them to us?"

The elder looked over anxiously: "That is our lifesaving money, with your profound understanding of justice and your compassionate heart, surely you wouldn't take them away, leaving us, an old man and his grandson, to be homeless and starve to death on the streets!"
