Martial Cultivator Chapter 202: Actually-Im Great Liangs Law

Chapter 202: Actually, I’m Great Liang’s Law

The battle began swiftly and ended just as quickly. All the daoists from the Sublime Bright Daoist Sect were dead. Only this green-robed daoist remained, who was still miserably alive at present.

As the smoke and dust rose, the people standing on the street were filled with immense fear, especially the constables from the imperial court government office. At this moment, they could not utter a word and all of them stood nervously at the side of the street.

The county chief, who had already fallen to the ground and could not stand up, now had no courage to get up when he saw this scene. He wished he could faint right there, how could he dare to look at such a situation?

However, he also knew that he had definitely provoked a huge disaster. Even if the black-clad youth spared his life later, wouldn’t the cultivators from the Sublime Bright Sect direct their anger at him for today’s events? Thinking about the methods of the Sublime Bright Sect, the county chief’s complexion became even more unsightly. He even had thoughts of death.

Chen Chao glanced at him and noticed the ground in front of him had become damp, which he was immediately rather disgusted by. He turned his head back and looked at the green-robed daoist again.

The current condition of the green-robed daoist was even more miserable. His face was covered in blood, and he could not lift his two arms. His qi was dissipating, making it difficult to gather. He actually had many techniques he failed to employ earlier, it was just because he underestimated Chen Chao too much. Otherwise, he would not have been defeated so quickly.

Chen Chao had already sheathed his saber, but the next moment, his legs were broken.

He could not stand and could only kneel in front of this black-clad youth.

Blood flowed from his mouth continuously, dripping onto the ground.

The commoners hiding behind the door slits were very excited when they saw this scene.

The cultivators from the Sublime Bright Sect had been acting tyrannically in Rainwater Commandery for many years. The imperial court had never dared to say anything and they were severely abused. Now, someone had finally come to help them vent their grievances. They were naturally elated.

Yu Xiyi had been watching this scene from the second-floor window this entire time and was silent for a long time. These cultivators posed no threat to him, but he felt that he might not be as decisive as the young martial artist if he had drawn his sword. Especially when he was at the Divine Trove Realm, he doubted he could have resolved the battle so quickly.

Therefore, he thought about many things and discovered that he admired the black-clad youth even more. After all, what Chen Chao had just demonstrated was truly impressive.

He also figured out how Chen Chao was able to defeat Song Changxi in the martial exam.

In the face of life and death, this young man knew exactly how to choose.

At this moment, Chen Chao was currently looking at the green-robed daoist kneeling before him.

The green-robed daoist’s current state was undeniably pitiful, but his eyes were still filled with anger and resentment. He stared at Chen Chao and said, “Do you know what you’re doing? How dare you kill disciples of our Sublime Bright Sect!”

The weight of the three words ‘Sublime Bright Sect’ was naturally immense. It was a major sect of the Longevity Dao lineage in Daoism and held a venerated position in Cang Prefecture. How could the average person dare provoke them?

Chen Chao looked at him and replied with a faint smile, “I’ve already killed them, what else can I do?”

Hearing this, the green-robed daoist’s expression became extremely ugly. He least wanted to see the nonchalant demeanor of the young man before him. He had clearly provoked a catastrophe, but he remained as indifferent as ever, what did this mean?

Was he truly fearless?

This was the last thing he wanted to see.

“Don’t think too much. Anyway, your deaths are justified. Violating the Great Liang’s laws isn’t some trivial matter.”

Chen Chao looked at the county chief and asked lightly, “What do you think?”

The county chief had long been scared out of his wits. At this moment, how could he still dare to say anything? Currently, the situation was unclear. No matter which side he leaned toward, it was obviously not a good choice. The best thing for him to do was to observe quietly, say nothing, and naturally do nothing as well.

However, his inadvertent glance caught a glimpse of the look in the eyes of the black-clad youth. He saw coldness and unmasked killing intent in that pair of eyes.

That was a terrifying pair of eyes.

The county chief’s expression turned extremely ugly. He opened his mouth and was just about to say something.

“Great Liang’s laws?!”

The green-robed daoist spat out a broken tooth and said madly, “You dare to speak of the Great Liang’s laws when you’ve killed people like this?!”

The green-robed daoist was filled with boundless rage. It was already unfortunate to succumb at the hands of this black-clad youth, but he never expected that the young man in front of him would actually frame them with a charge under Great Liang’s laws. For them, this was the most humiliating thing.

For a foreign cultivator to die was one thing, but to also bear the crime of having violated Great Liang’s laws after dying, how could this be acceptable to these cultivators who had always looked down on the secular world’s dynasty?

This was unprecedented humiliation.

Chen Chao looked at the green-robed daoist and said very calmly, “Many people saw that you killed the constable from the government office.”

He was looking at those constables when he spoke.

Those constables subconsciously looked at the distant corpse, he was indeed killed by the green-robed daoist earlier.

Furthermore, that constable had not done anything but suffered this unwarranted calamity.

Seeing the young man’s gaze sweeping over them, the constables quickly nodded. They did not know Chen Chao’s identity, but they were well aware that if they did not nod their heads, their fate would likely be very tragic.

Retracting his gaze with satisfaction, Chen Chao looked towards that green-robed daoist and said, “You killed an official of the Great Liang Dynasty for no reason. According to the Great Liang’s laws, you will be sentenced to death.”

This rule was also part of the agreement back then. But over the years, no one had truly cared about it. Whether cultivators killed commoners or officials, no one had really taken it to heart.

The green-robed daoist seemed somewhat dazed. But he quickly gritted his teeth and asked, “What about them?!”

Those daoists who died on the spot, what was it for?

This was indeed a problem.

The events that happened on the street truly took place very quickly.

Actually, it did not seem to make much sense.

Chen Chao already took action before figuring out that boy’s identity.

Then, a battle took place and so many daoists from the Sublime Bright Sect died.

No matter how you looked at it, this was not a simple matter.

Chen Chao looked at the green-robed daoist and fell silent for a moment, as if he was thinking of a reason.

The green-robed daoist knelt on the ground, watching his blood flow continuously from his wounds. For a moment, it was unknown what he was thinking about. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n nov(𝒆)lbin(.)com

After an unknown amount of time passed, Chen Chao shook his head.

The green-robed daoist was about to say something sarcastic, even if it was the last thing he could say before his death.

But Chen Chao did not give him the chance. He simply lifted his black robe, revealing a waist badge hanging at his waist.

The waist badge looked ordinary, but what was unusual were the large characters engraved on it.

Rainwater Commandery’s Warden

Chen Chao looked at him and said, “Since you attempted to assassinate this official, what reason do you all have to not die?”

The tone of this sentence was a little loud, so it echoed through the street.

‘This official’, this form of address greatly roused the commoners behind the doors.

Turns out that this youth was an official from the imperial court.

The green-robed daoist looked at the waist badge, his expression becoming extremely fascinating.

Chen Chao took off the waist badge and raised it up.

Then everyone saw the words Rainwater Commandery’s Warden

The county chief was stunned.

In the early spring of last year, Rainwater Commandery’s warden died while in office. After reporting it, the prefecture office had not sent a new warden. At that time, the county chief thought that it was probably because no one wanted to come to this damn place, so he did not pay much attention to it.

A year passed and many people had likely forgotten about this matter.

No one expected that at this time, Chen Chao came.

He was the newly appointed Rainwater Commandery’s warden.

That was also why when Yu Xiyi asked him if he was going to take action, he stood up and came to the street.

As the appointed warden, when he saw that a civilian was being abducted by people in the city under his jurisdiction, it was only natural to question it.

Those foreign cultivators attacked him, the local warden, so they naturally had reasons to die.

Everything was very reasonable.

The green-robed daoist fell into deep silence.

After Song Lian left for the northern border, Chen Chao was currently still the Commander of the Left Guard. But although this position of Commander of the Left Guard was sufficiently high, it had no authority over Rainwater Commandery.

……

……

Chen Chao looked at him and said, “Earlier, you claimed to be Great Liang’s law in Rainwater Commandery. Actually, that’s incorrect. In matters like this, I’m the Great Liang’s law.”

Rainwater Commandery’s warden was responsible for maintaining peace and stability in the region. So the people really had to obey him when it came to such matters.

That was how the Great Liang’s laws were written.

The agreement back then was also written like this.

Chen Chao also acted in accordance with it.
