The direct descendant of the Li Family has been killed by his own hands. For any family with the current position and strength of the Li Family, they would never rashly allow the government to intervene.
They would never swallow this humiliation!
Revenge and satisfaction are dreams of every person! If ordinary people feel this way, how much more so for the tyrannical Li Family?
Once the government intervenes, the murderer admits guilt, where’s the satisfaction in settling scores themselves? Moreover, if the enemy is captured by the government and the Li Family uses the government’s power to take action, it would only lead to a significant decline in the Li Family’s prestige. Among the three great families, the Li Family would surely lose face, and they might even be squeezed out of the triad.
Therefore, the Li Family would never allow the government to intervene, no matter what!
As long as Chu Yang can delay until any family successfully intervenes, this matter will shift from government law to a feud in the martial arts world!
At that time, it would be a battle of skills!
"Look at the evidence? Who do you think you are? Once we reach the courtroom, you'll naturally see enough! Come here! Take this slick-talking brat down!" The general with a curled beard looked foolish, and unexpectedly his temper was just as foolish. Knowing full well that arguing with Chu Yang would lead to a bad ending, he still waved his hand, causing several chains to rattle open.
This was the classic case of a scholar meeting a soldier; you have a thousand clever plans, yet I have my fixed rules!
Encountering such a muddled and stubborn fellow, there was simply no reasoning to be had. Chu Yang couldn't help but touch the jade pendant in his bosom. Should he use it or not?!
Just then.
A horse galloped in like the wind from afar.
"General Zhou! Hold on! The city lord has issued an order!"
General Zhou was momentarily stunned upon hearing this and turned his head to look.
With a wave of his hand, the chains were retracted.
A horse dashed in wildly, almost unable to stop in front of him. The rider stood up, and deep blood marks almost appeared around his neck.
"What’s the rush?" General Zhou frowned and stepped forward.
"The city lord has commanded…" The new messenger, obviously a clerk without any cultivation, was so exhausted from running that he was about to roll his eyes. After catching his breath for a long time, he finally said, "Immediately withdraw the troops. Regarding Chu Yang committing murder in the street, there is insufficient evidence, the city lord’s residence will not accept it."
General Zhou furrowed his brow, "Such a thing actually exists?"
"This is the city lord’s order… General Zhou, please take a look."
"Oh… so that’s how it is."
After reading the order, General Zhou waved his hand decisively, "Everyone disperse! Go back and investigate for more evidence before reaching a conclusion."
He then mounted his horse, turned his head to look at Chu Yang, and grinned, "Kid, to be honest, I never intended to catch you! Now that I have this order, it's just right!" He nodded, "But you better be careful!"
Without waiting for Chu Yang to respond, he whipped his horse and shouted, "Go!"
Forty to fifty soldiers, just like when they came, retreated like a whirlwind, leaving behind nothing but a cloud of dust as they disappeared.
They rushed off in a hurry, just as they had come!
Chu Yang smiled and clasped his hands, watching as the area returned to emptiness, his expression calm.
Around him, sounds of swift movement came from afar.
The officials had left, and the people from the Li Family had arrived.
Chu Yang chuckled. Have you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time!
The Nine Calamity Sword has yet to taste blood since arriving in this Nine Heavens Pavilion. Today, it's good to enjoy a good fight. After all, that hawk-nosed man probably still has to wait a while to arrange things here.
"Chu Yang!" a thunderous roar echoed: "Get out here!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Dozens of figures landed in front of the men's hall.
