In Five Paths Chamber of Commerce’s backyard, Hua You Meng, Gao Hong, and the others looked on in shock. Compared to Lu Tian Feng’s humility, they were more concerned about Yang Kai’s identity and why the Commander of Purple Star City’s Guard had changed his attitude so greatly after just meeting him.
None of the flattery Lu Tian Feng was touting even entered their ears as they only felt their heads spinning.
“There seems to have been a small misunderstanding here. I do not know where this Lu’s stupid subordinates heard such an outrageous rumour to make them believe a troublemaker was in this area, but it seems they acted hastily and came to make an arrest for no reason, causing varying degrees of damage to the personnel and property of your chamber of commerce. President Hua may rest assured, this Lu, as the Commander of the Guard, will absolutely not allow you to suffer a loss in vain. This Lu will deal with the situation promptly and seriously to give President Hua a satisfactory explanation,” Lu Tian Feng declared solemnly as he patted his chest and promised.
“Ah… en…” Hua You Meng smiled forcefully, “This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Vice Commander Bai, we are also somewhat responsible.”
Hearing what she said, Bai Zheng Chu’s eyes began to tear up as he looked towards Hua You Meng with eyes full of gratitude.
“Is that so?” Lu Tian Feng raised his brow before carefully glancing towards the nearby guest house and saying cautiously, “Since President Hua is so reasonable…”
“Hmph!” From the pavilion, a single snort sounded.
Lu Tian Feng shivered at this snort and sternly declared, “Even if President Hua is so reasonable, they should be punished for mistakes they made. As a member of the Purple Star City Guard, if they cannot follow the law, who will? If anyone can just rush into a business without cause and hit and abuse its employees, will any chambers of commerce ever open in Purple Star City? Vice Commander Bai, what do you say?”
How could Bai Zheng Chu not know he had kicked an iron plate this time? Walking up with a face filled with remorse, he bowed his head and said, “Subordinate acted rashly and mismanaged this situation. Subordinate apologizes to President Hua and asks Lord Commander to deliver appropriate punishment.”
Hua You Meng waved her hands frantically as she repeatedly claimed she wouldn’t dare.
Lu Tian Feng coldly and righteously declared, “For having eyes but failing to see, offended President Hua and Five Paths Chamber of Commerce. This sentences you to one month’s imprisonment inside the Frozen Prison, understood?”
“The Frozen Prison!” Bai Zheng Chu shivered, his face going pale.
Just now he had said he would throw Xia Jing Wu and all the others into the Frozen Prison, but through a twist of fate, he was the one who was going to be imprisoned there. As one of the eight Vice Commanders of the City Guard, how could he not understand the horrors of the Frozen Prison?
That was a natural frozen world where one would freeze their Saint Qi no matter how high one’s cultivation was. In other words, once one entered the Frozen Prison, they could only rely on their physical strength to resist the bone-chilling cold.
But without Saint Qi, how many cultivators could resist such a frigid environment?
A month in the Frozen Prison was no different from being thrown into the gates of Hell!
“Hm?” Lu Tian Feng glared as he did not receive an immediate answer.
“Subordinate understands!” Bai Zheng Chu shrank his neck and nodded repeatedly.
“As long as you understand. En, this is just the punishment for the violence you committed against these good people. As for the damage you caused to Five Paths Chamber of Commerce… Hand over all your Space Rings.”
With Lu Tian Feng issuing such a command, who would dare to resist? One by one, like they had just been told their parents had been killed, all the guards took off their Space Rings and handed them over, including Bai Zheng Chu.
Lu Tian Feng smiled before handing the rings to Hua You Meng and saying, “President Hua, this Lu hopes you can be forgiving and not lower yourself to the same level as this group of idiots. This is compensation for your healing expenses.”
“Senior Lu…” Hua You Meng was completely dumbfounded. Facing the dazzling array of Space Rings, she did not dare refuse or accept, putting her at a loss for a moment.
“President Hua, please… please don’t refuse.” Lu Tian Feng said solemnly with a look that was almost pleading Hua You Meng to accept.
The man inside the nearby pavilion was still watching him, and Commander Lu knew that, if he did not handle this matter well, losing his position as Guard Commander would be the least of his worries.
Xia Jing Wu hurriedly stepped forward, chuckled, and cupped his fists to Lu Tian Feng, “Since Commander Lu has personally presided over justice, our Five Paths Chamber of Commerce will cooperate fully. Many thanks, Commander Lu, Commander Sir’s moral righteousness is worthy of admiration!”
“It’s my duty…” Lu Tian Feng took the opportunity to shove the Space Rings into Hua You Meng’s hand before quietly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that the matter was finally completed. Although things had not been settled perfectly, he had at least made his position clear.
“What are you still doing stupidly standing here? Scram to the Frozen Prison to serve your punishment!” Lu Tian Feng roared at Bai Zheng Chu and the others.
“Yes!” Bai Zheng Chu and the other guards quickly fled, trembling in terror.
After all his subordinates disappeared, Lu Tian Feng turned around, cupped his fists to the pavilion, and grovelled, “Sir, are you satisfied with the handling of this matter?”
Yang Kai’s voice soon came from the room, “Commander Lu surely jests, it is the Commander’s responsibility to maintain the peace in the city, rewarding the good and punishing the evil. As long as you are satisfied that justice has been served, what does it matter what this King thinks?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Tian Feng was immediately relieved, knowing the other party would no longer pursue this issue. Quickly bowing his head, he followed up, “What Sir says is absolutely correct. This Lu will take his leave then, please have a good rest, Sir!”
Saying so, he nodded politely to Hua You Meng and the others before quickly walking out.
Hua You Meng, Gao Hong, Xia Jing Wu, Yao Qing, Hai Tang, and all the other employees of Five Paths Chamber of Commerce stood dumbfounded, all of them wearing extremely strange expressions. Recalling the scenes that just played out before them, everyone felt like they were seeing some kind of impossible dream.
After a long silence, Hua You Meng snorted and exhaled fiercely, releasing a pink mist from her body. It was the remnants of the Flower Petal Raindrops that had been suppressing her Saint Qi.
“President, are you all right?” Gao Hong quickly looked over at her and asked.
Hua You Meng nodded lightly. She was, in fact, the only one who had remained unharmed in the conflict with Bai Zheng Chu just now; everyone else had suffered varying degrees of injuries.
“President, should we…” Gao Hong glanced in the direction of Yang Kai.
Hua You Meng slowly shook her head and said, “Uncle Xia, go close the shop and post notice that we will remain closed for the next five days. Have all the employees rest and tend to anyone who has injuries. Make sure we provide enough for everyone’s healing expenses. These rings… en, I’ll leave them in Uncle Xia’s care.”
“Yes.” Xia Jing Wu nodded while accepting the Space Rings.
“Yao Qing, Hai Tang, you two assist Uncle Xia,” Hua You Meng next called out to the side.
“En.” Hai Tang heard this and obediently nodded, but Yao Qing actually cast an indignant look towards the guest house and said, “I want to…”
“You want what?” Gao Hong cut him off abruptly, “Hurry up and get out!”
Yao Qing could not help rolling his eyes, but he still shut his mouth and followed Xia Jing Wu and Hai Tang out.
In a blink of an eye, only Gao Hong and Hua You Meng were left. The two women looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other’s eyes as they passed messages between themselves using their Divine Sense.
After a while, Hua You Meng sighed, turned around, and said, “For today’s matter, this Mistress offers her sincere thanks.”
“President Hua is too polite, it was just a slight effort,” Yang Kai smiled calmly. He heard both a little awe, fear, and even blame, in Hua You Meng’s tone, but that was only to be expected so he did not care too much about it.
“Sir must be tired; this Mistress won’t disturb Sir any further. Tomorrow, this Mistress will pay a visit to Sir again,” Hua You Meng whispered.
“Very well. President Hua must have many things to attend to, just attend to your own business.”
Hua You Meng nodded, winked at Gao Hong, and the two women withdrew one after another.
Inside the guest house, Yang Kai wore a helpless smile on his face as he appreciatively played with a token in his hand, muttering to himself, “I didn’t expect this thing to be so useful. Even someone like Lu Tian Feng was like a mouse seeing a cat the moment he saw it.”
Lu Tian Feng was a First-Order Origin King, and even if Yang Kai could suppress him by force, the reason he had been so deferential and respectful was all because of this token.
“Of course it is, that is one of my Purple Star’s Purple Star Orders. Anyone who holds this token has status equal to my Purple Star’s Great Elder. Lu Tian Feng is only a Guard Commander, so how could he dare act presumptuously in front of an Order holder?” Zi Dong’s voice suddenly came out as his Soul Avatar appeared from the Soul Sustaining Bowl which had been placed to the side by Yang Kai.
“How many of these did your Purple Star create?” Yang Kai asked.
Zi Dong thought for a while before replying, “As far as I know, only two have been given out, and both to Second-Order Origin Kings. The Purple Star Order not only represents elite status but even grants a certain degree of authority to mobilize my Purple Star’s resources and personnel. As such, only those who have made great contributions to Purple Star will receive them.”
“So that’s how it is.” Yang Kai nodded lightly, better understanding the value of this token.
He had found this thing in Zi Long’s Space Ring, and although the materials used to make it were rare and precious, Yang Kai hadn’t paid any attention to it until today.
He simply had no choice. His original plan was to act sneakily; steal the Star Emperor Token and then leave Purple Star. However, after Hua You Meng and Five Paths Chamber of Commerce appeared, he could no longer proceed as planned.
Although he was not afraid of confronting Lu Tian Feng, this was Purple Star City after all, and if he really were to fight this Guard Commander, it would only attract the attention of stronger opponents.
So, Yang Kai had asked Zi Dong if he had a way to deal with the situation.
Zi Dong had then recommended he use the Purple Star Order.
Giving it a try, it had worked perfectly.
Lu Tian Feng had arrived fiercely but left with his head almost touching the ground. With practically no effort, Yang Kai was able to resolve today’s issue.
Unfortunately, Purple Star would begin paying very close attention to him after this, which would make it far more difficult for him to steal the Star Emperor Token. Yang Kai secretly felt a headache coming on as he had to re-think his plans from scratch.
Considering all this, Yang Kai looked at Zi Dong and said, “Tell me about your Purple Star’s situation. What kind of masters there are and are there are any internal disputes?”
Although Zi Dong was very reluctant to cooperate, with his Soul now in Yang Kai’s hands, he did not dare to resist. Having been asked and with no other choice, he began honestly explaining many things about Purple Star to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai took down this information carefully because there was a chance some of it would be useful soon. He also asked a few questions when it came to key points, which Zi Dong coordinated with and explained everything he was able to.
What is the schedule of The releasing of chapters?
Is it just my devices or does the next chapter button always refer you to the patreon and whenever i try to get to the next chapter i keep appearing in the patreon?
thanks for the chapter
This old ghost still really enjoys the chapters
Thank you for the chapter!! Hapoy april fools day!
i think the frozen prison is a very good place for su yan to cultivate and soon they gonna come and claim that place for su yan
Hmm 🤔
But people inside can’t circulate their saint qi though
Dude, man! Not sure why the one commentator from last chapter was so upset about the light novel not progressing fast enough both in content and releases… give the author a break man! He writes for a living and sometimes during writer’s block or creativity slumps, there are some fillers, so what.. there are 1800+ translated chapters, if say 10% are fillers which means 180 chapters of fillers… your still get a whopping 90% or 1600+ chapters of original content.. in school that is still an A grade work, dude
Also the illusion of fillers can happen when chapters get exciting and we are just eager to find out what happens next 🤣
Thanks for chapter.
And that guy was upset at the novel cuz it is repetitive and said that he will only read the manhua when it gets there????
It’s like saying you don’t like apples, so you will only eat pealed apple slices with sugar on it
thanks for the chapter..yo
That’s actually not a bad thought. This King likes your thoughts my junior, but I don’t think it will be as you say at least doubtful of a civil war and more of a coup or a force as he will definitely rise above the origin king realm and at that point none can deny him anymore nothing would be his equal. Besides as you said all the other great forces have okay or good relations so if they were to argue with YK what good will that do other then bring hell from the other great forces.
A coup would also be a good Idea I just don’t know who will be in charge of purple star when Yang Kai leaves the star?
Thanks for the chapter as always!
Thanks for the Chapter as always good work I just want to say that your work on translating this novel is really appreciated. I think Yang Kai will try to create a civil war inside purple star to create a distraction long enough for him to get the star emperor token. The way Zi Dong is acting maybe there is a chance that he will be revived and serve a an ambassador to unite all purple star under the leadership of the future protector of the star field Yang Kai because the other great forces are already some what in good terms with Yang Kai.
Truly a fun series, cheers!
Thank you for the chapter! As always, this Beast appreciates your efforts.
At least that one guy Isn’t in the comments.Also thanks for the chapter!
Oh I’m here hehe… still asking the same.
Dear friend, just read the manhua
I’ve always had some aversion to the characters referring to themselves as this “king” or ‘queen”, especially when I just knew YK was about to open up a super sized can of whoop ass on them. As he advanced and some of these people have since been surpassed by not only his cultivation, but that also he even now knows just how low on the totem he still truly is, to ‘hear’ his arrogance in referring to himself as “King” is strangely satisfying.
Chapter
Thx for chat
Am I the first one to comment??
Nope… Damn the comments don’t load fast enough
Great. So I wasn’t logged in
There will be people who love the novel and people who hate it. What this young King do not understand is why people who hate the novel, just leave instead of complaining about the story telling style of a novel that was written a few years ago. Even if the author listen and changes his style, it would not be repeated until 3000+ chapters later. *Face Palm *
Dude, you have no idea how I wish for some kind of violence to occur to some of these people. I get it, you don’t like it. I and several others do and have no problem with continuing our enjoyment. STFU already and go about yer business. It’s the childhood equivalent to throwing a tantrum and telling everyone in earshot that you are taking your toys and going home. Problem is, all the toys there are just as good as his and him and his precious won’t be missed.
Your comment is also much very “childish”…
At one point, possibly a year ago (or maybe more), this Beast remembers reading comments made by those under the impression that DDL were actually writing Martial Peak, rather than translating it. That commenter from the previous chapter falls in the same vein; the roads we walk along the 3000 Grand Dao are always different, but fools will forever be the same.
The commentator from before was just seeing it from a different light, perhaps not the best light, but a light nevertheless. 10 000 paths to the end of the road, none are wrong.
The previous comment (The Gaba guy just in case I’m wrong) in my opinion is an exempted case. What he was saying was so contradictory that I can’t help but see him as a troll.
First, he wanted the translators to mass release the chapters (obviously someone who really wants to read the novel, I mean why else would you want the translators to mass release unless you’re a troll) Next he goes on a rant saying that Martial Peak is a repetitive story (which is true, but that goes for the majority if not all of the cultivation novels) when he just said how he’d rather read the manhua.
Not to mention his last comment which I won’t mention because it may spoil some who are new to cn novels that is obviously hinting that either he browsed the wiki or he read the mtl which I think has already finished the novel or has at least translated 5k+ chapters.
I just didn’t bother replying to the guy because he honestly just looked like troll to me
Nope. Did you even read my comments? :facepalm:
What I want is the site to release all what they work on and not lock content behind patreon. That’s it. You clearly didn’t read my comments.
Also, I read the raws… so what?
You are more likely to be a troll… not even reading comments…
Even without the patreon lock, it doesn’t matter as the release schedule will be the same, only like 800 chapters ago they did extra chapters for patreon and continued their normal translation schedule. Its confusing but if it gets too much, just read the manhua. Best of wishes – 乐山
Personally, I don’t dislike the novel, and even went to read the Rawls but could not get used too much.
For me the problem is the site not releasing all the translation they can, instead putting them behind patreon… I’m sure even if they released all the translated chapters, there would be people still paying. Having this kind of system makes even less willing to help on patreon.
Boo Hoo Hoo…. Mummy returns really want to go to the vip section but I don’t want to pay a single cent for the vip services because…boo hoo hoo… It should be free … And people will still pay for vip services even though what they pay is now free, right ? Boo hoo hoo…life is so unfair…and I think I wet my diapers again… mummy
This young King is sick and tired of hearing this child bawling
You realise that the patreon thing, is just getting a X amount of chapter ahead of others ? even if they release all the chapters, you’ll still have to wait everyday for new chapter, it would litteraly be the same situation as currently, so bitching about patreon is a non-problem
Patreon is first all a way to support the translators, and they give you a small “advantage” over others, but at the end, they are like you and me : they wait everyday for their chapter, just not the same one as us
so you want the translators to put and release all what they had worked on for free? are you sane or out of your mind? do you have any idea how much work it takes to get this high quality translation? if they do, way less people would be willing to donate, and that would only lead to this translators group to collapse, they won’t have enough money to maintain the website and to pay the other translators.
if you don’t like to wait, go read the machine translated version one
Should be a decent one…
Good Sir Mathyuu, this young King admits he was just seconds away from first but it is no shame to lose to a good opponent.
Haha Brother Mathyuu it’s been ages since this Old Ghost saw you take first. Are you coming back for good times or just popping in to prove to the juniors and our Brothers that you still got it?
Haha, en…this one was just bored and decided to leave his mark😹don’t mind this king😌
