CHAPTER 511: CHAPTER 521: SAVING SOMEONE

"It’s you who deserved the beating! Apologize to Junior Brother Chu Feng immediately!" Zhou Qingyun barked with a murderous look on his face.

As the captain, he naturally carried a certain authority over his soldiers.

Otherwise, he couldn’t keep these men under control.

"Zhou, Captain Zhou knows him?" The Gate Guarding Disciple’s complexion changed slightly, realizing he had caused big trouble.

Seeing this situation, not only did the captain know the young man, but he also seemed extremely eager to please and fearful. This young man must be someone important.

He stared intently and observed that apart from being handsome and extraordinary, Chu Feng didn’t seem to have any other remarkable features.

His cultivation was even pitifully low, only at the Middle Stage Great Sword Master.

Yet, for some reason, every move this young man made exuded strong confidence, appearing very steady, like a towering mountain.

Suddenly, the Gate Guarding Disciple’s body trembled violently as he thought of someone.

Recently, this person’s reputation had rapidly risen, and discussions about him could often be heard throughout the Outer Sect.

"Chu, Chu Feng... Could you be that genius Chu Feng who passed the third stage of the Qiankun Sword Formation and even suppressed the Prime Minister’s son?" The Gate Guarding Disciple looked at Chu Feng in horror, as if seeing a ghost or a god.

Bang!

His head was smacked hard from behind, nearly causing him to fall to the ground again.

"Ouch... Captain Zhou, why did you hit me again?" The Gate Guarding Disciple was truly star-crossed today, having been hit twice in succession and unable to fight back.

"I told you to apologize to Junior Brother Chu Feng, and here you are asking all sorts of questions. If I don’t hit you, who should I hit?" Zhou Qingyun raised his hand threateningly again, frightening the Gate Guarding Disciple into hurriedly covering his head and dodging.

"Don’t hit me, don’t hit me... I admit my mistake to Brother Chu Feng..."

Saying so, the Gate Guarding Disciple turned around solemnly towards Chu Feng and then bowed deeply with his fists clasped together.

"Brother Chu, please don’t take offense. I, Zheng Sanqian, was blind and did not recognize it was you! Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t dare to ask you for tea money, and would rather welcome you as an esteemed guest!"

"I’m... not really trying to flatter you. After hearing about your heroic deeds, I’ve always regarded you as my idol, a goal for motivation..."

As he spoke, this Gate Guarding Disciple named Zheng Sanqian, seemed somewhat embarrassed and lowered his head.

It was evident that his words came from the heart.

"Uh... am I really that famous?" Chu Feng touched his nose embarrassingly.

He couldn’t help but forgive the young man.

"Forget it, forget it, I won’t take it to heart!" Chu Feng gestured dismissively, a Prime Minister could stomach a boat, a General could have horses running across his forehead. He really didn’t need to fuss too much over a little rascal.

Especially since the man had already apologized sincerely.

Moreover, Chu Feng was the idol Zheng Sanqian admired. One does not slap a smiling face; he truly couldn’t bring himself to slap.

Han Xiaoying, Pu Li, and others couldn’t help but conceal their smiles. It was truly like the flooding water had rushed into the Dragon King Temple, with Zheng Sanqian unexpectedly charging money from his own idol.

"Don’t blame Junior Brother Chu Feng, they usually ask for some tea money from those coming to inspect because our job is tough and the pay is extremely low. Besides cultivating, many need to support their families. Just the cost of cultivation alone is like a mountainous sea, making it too hard to provide a better life for their families," Zhou Qingyun explained with a smile.

Every family has its own difficult scripture to chant, these Gate Guarding Disciples of the North Hall may seem imposing, but their lives are not as glorious as imagined.

"I understand!"

Chu Feng nodded, a look of relief spreading across his face.

"I’m here to bail someone out, Mountain Patrol Envoy Hei Dimo of Medicine Mountain 108, do I need to go through any procedures?" Chu Feng asked Zhou Qingyun.

"I heard that the Medicine thief of Medicine Mountain 108 has been handled by Junior Brother Chu! Hei Dimo has been cleared of suspicion, and although he is accused of dereliction of duty, considering the thief’s prowess, the sect, driven by empathy, should impose only a light punishment as a deterrent!"

"Why don’t you wait here a moment, Junior Brother Chu, I will go personally and inquire for you!"

Zhou Qingyun proactively extended his goodwill towards Chu Feng.

Having spent many years in the Law Enforcement Hall, he was very familiar with contacts, rules, and procedures. With him stepping in to help, much trouble could be avoided.

"Then I must trouble Brother Zhou!" Chu Feng readily agreed and expressed his thanks with a bow.

The conflict dissipated into nothingness. Both parties turned their weapons into gifts of silk, much to everyone’s delight.

Upon hearing of Chu Feng’s arrival, many Outer Sect disciples from North Hall hurried over to greet him. Chu Feng was quite popular here. These Outer Sect disciples greatly admired him.

With his own strength, he gradually established himself in the sect and even confronted Inner Sect disciples.

This was truly remarkable.

Time flew, and Zhou Qingyun soon returned with news.

His face was adorned with a joyful smile, seemingly indicating that the matter was easily resolved.

"Junior Brother Chu Feng, I have already asked Hei Dimo’s Main Judge. You simply need to take the task completion certificate to him and complete the necessary documentation, and you can absolve Hei Dimo of his charges."

"Additionally, you need to pay ten thousand Merits on behalf of Hei Dimo! As for other punishments, they can be waived."

This was indeed great news.

Hei Dimo, during his patrol period, had lost several precious Medicinal Herbs, a not so slight crime. Now, merely having to pay ten thousand Merits was hardly anything.

"These ten thousand Merits, I can pay on behalf of Elder Hei! Because those precious Medicinal Herbs were eaten by the Nine Yin Heaven Centipede. And now, that Nine Yin Heaven Centipede has become food for my Crimson Fire Ant Queen."

"The ultimate beneficiary is me!"

Chu Feng, having just earned 121,000 Merits, was in a strong financial position.

Among those lost precious Medicinal Herbs, a single ten-thousand-year-old herb was worth far more than ten thousand Merits.

The strength of the Crimson Fire Ant Queen will surely surge after eating the corpse of the Nine Yin Heaven Centipede. Ultimately, the one benefiting was Chu Feng.

"In my previous life, I focused solely on Alchemy and scorned the Sword Dao and bug-controlling. In this life, I can make up for these shortcomings." In this life, not only does Chu Feng possess Abnormal Fire, but he also has a high talent in the art of the sword.

Moreover, regarding pets, he also seized three significant opportunities.

Shadow Worm, Demon Eye Evil Spirit King, and Crimson Fire Ant are all his pets. Each pet has its specific use, providing numerous methods during confrontations.

He immediately accompanied Zhou Qingyun to the Main Judge’s office of Hei Dimo.

Since Hei Dimo was of Sword God Level and each stolen medicinal herb from Medicine Mountain 108 was extremely precious, it was a significant case, so the presiding judge was a Copper Judge.

Perhaps seeing Chu Feng’s outstanding potential, this Copper Judge named Yan Feng treated Chu Feng with considerable respect.

One shouldn’t underestimate a Copper Judge. In the entire Law Enforcement Hall, the number of Intern Judges and Iron Judges was nearly a hundred. But, only four Copper Judges existed.

Only cases of significant importance were presided over by a Copper Judge personally.
