Chapter 232 Chai Wudi
No one could understand why Xu Daoqing, the city lord and guide who seemed to be very cunning and weak, suddenly changed his personality.
Even the two parties involved in the war, Chai Xin and law enforcer Liu Yu, were stunned when they heard the shout.
"Xu Daoqing, what's wrong with you? I ordered you to suppress the rebellion, and you resisted on the grounds that you were incapable of doing so, but are you trying to help the tyrant?"
Liu Yu no longer had the arrogance he had before. Chai Xin activated the two Nine Secrets at the same time, and even he felt an unprecedented pressure due to his carelessness.
If you are not careful, you may stumble.
Xu Daoqing's sudden statement gave him a bad feeling in his heart.
"This old fox is really interesting..."
Chai Xin was very insightful. After a little thought, he roughly understood the reason for Xu Daoqing's change.
In short, it's nothing more than changing with the wind.
"Liu Yu, don't be stubborn and become an accomplice to the evil! Young friend Chai was repeatedly bullied by the Yan family in the city, and he had no choice but to fight back. He was really getting rid of harm for the people, and I should commend him for it!"
Xu Daoqing slowly stepped into the air, his green robe fluttering in the wind, his hand gently stroking his long beard, looking quite righteous and awe-inspiring.
"As a law enforcer of our clan, you should act impartially. How can you rely on your authority to confuse right and wrong? If you act like this, you will become a disgrace to our clan! If you don't repent, don't blame me for not caring about the friendship between my colleagues!"
I have to say, politicians’ words are deceiving.
Although Xu Daoqing is a powerful cultivator, his behavior is no different from that of an official in a secular dynasty. He only considers gains and losses, and changes his expression faster than turning the pages of a book.
He used to be timid and afraid to offend anyone, but now he has suddenly transformed into a fighter who exposes darkness and is not afraid of power!
Such a hasty change not only made it difficult for everyone to accept, but also made Liu Yu, who was publicly reprimanded by him, furious.
As law enforcers, although their rank is not higher than that of a city lord or a guide, due to their special functions and powers, everyone usually assumes that they are half a level higher.
Who would not be respectful and who would not be fearful when traveling between the major cities on the ancient roads?
Like today, he suffered setbacks successively at the hands of Chai Xin and Xu Daoqing, and was even reprimanded in public. This was almost unprecedented.
Originally, Liu Yu was quite depressed and ashamed that he could not suppress Chai Xin quickly and was instead suppressed by him. Now this incident made him completely furious.
"Xu Daoqing, did you take the wrong medicine? How dare you slander me like this! Are you trying to help the tyrant and rebel with this guy?"
However, seeing Xu Daoqing approaching slowly with a solemn aura, no matter how furious he was inside, he could only suppress it.
At the moment, Chai Xin alone is enough to put him under a lot of pressure. If a Saint King were to join in, I'm afraid he would suffer a great loss today.
"Liu Yu, you broke the law knowingly, shielded the Yan family's mistakes, and abused your power to slander our clan's genius. These are all ironclad facts! Do you think that as a law enforcer, you can cover the sky with one hand and block the light on this ancient road?"
Xu Daoqing's aura gradually rose, and his words were filled with righteous indignation, which made everyone who listened to him excited and applauded.
"I tell you, as long as I am still alive, I will never tolerate a treacherous villain like you blocking the bright sky!"
After hearing these words, many young talents who were unaware of the situation had a greatly changed impression of the city lord. They believed that he was a true senior master who knew right from wrong and took the overall situation into consideration.
In their opinion, this incident was ultimately caused by the Yan family's excessive actions and leaving no one a chance to survive, so that even the elders at the Saint King level ended up in a falling out.
However, the law enforcers did not ask any questions and directly helped the Yan family suppress Chai Xin. This cannot be described as fair and strict.
Although Chai Xin's methods in the counterattack were extremely fierce and cruel, who would be merciful when facing an enemy who wanted to kill them?
Now that the city lord is willing to openly denounce the law enforcers' abuse of power for personal gain for a younger generation who has no background and no connections with him, it is natural that many people will respect him.
Noticing these people's emotional changes, even someone as slick as Xu Daoqing couldn't help but feel a little elated.
Liu Yu, on the contrary, was almost vomiting blood in anger and wished he could tear Xu Daoqing to pieces alive.
He was able to cultivate to such a level and serve as a law enforcer, so he was certainly not a fool. He already vaguely understood the reason behind Xu Daoqing's sudden change.
"Xu Daoqing, you are such a fool as a guide. You are really unworthy of your position! From today on, I will report you and impeach you!"
Liu Yu roared angrily, and a dazzling divine light burst out from his eyes under the armor. The silver battle suit on his body roared, and the crystal light burned like a divine flame, just like a sun, desperately resisting the continuous pressure of the Nine Dragon Coffin.
"Boom!"
After all, he is a high-level Saint King. When faced with a crisis, he burst out with all his strength. Naturally, his momentum cannot be underestimated. For a moment, his pressure soared into the sky, and gradually he reversed the decline.
"My dear Chai, this thief has evil intentions. He used the power given to him by hundreds of millions of my compatriots to poison the ancient road. He still does not repent until now. His crimes are really heinous. I am here to help you!"
Seeing this, Xu Daoqing finally ended the performance.
With his aura pushed to the extreme, he pushed his palms together, and thousands of stars fell from the depths of the boundless void, transforming into meteorites that fell with the force of thunder.
"Xu, old thief, how dare you bully me like this!"
Liu Yu immediately felt the pressure doubled, and the originally relatively stable battle situation immediately tilted in a direction that was unfavorable to him.
"This old fellow is probably already at the fourth or fifth level of the Saint King Realm. His true cultivation is no less than mine! He definitely didn't just break through recently. I didn't expect him to be so hidden!"
He was greatly shocked. If it weren't for the Daluo Silver Essence Battle Armor, he might not be able to defeat Xu Daoqing, who was low-key and even looked a little cowardly.
The gap in strength between the Saint King and the sixth level is not too big, but it can be made up by special secret methods and powerful treasures, so they are collectively called ordinary Saint Kings.
After the sixth level is a leap, and few people can compete with the higher levels, until the eighth level, who are the so-called high-level Saint Kings.
Once one enters the Ninth Heaven, he will stand at the pinnacle of the Saint Kings and be called the Supreme Saint King.
Now, Chai Xin, if he exerts his full strength, can remain undefeated against the top Saint King, barely suppress the high-level Saint King, and easily defeat the ordinary Saint King.
In fact, at the level of Saint King, each one is extremely powerful and has an endless variety of methods.
Even for a high-level Saint King, it is not easy to kill an ordinary Saint King, and it may not even succeed.
Unless one reaches the supreme Saint King level, one can easily kill an ordinary Saint King, but it is not easy to kill a high-level Saint King.
Chai Xin's strength was slightly inferior to that of a top Saint King, so even if he wanted to kill an ordinary Saint King, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Not to mention that Liu Yu, who was wearing the Daluo Silver Essence battle suit, had firmly entered the level of a high-level Saint King!
It is already difficult to suppress the opponent, and wanting to kill him is simply a fantasy.
So Xu Daoqing was willing to help, even though he was just playing with the wind, he was happy to see it happen.
Although the other party had planned to use him before, he did not succeed, and now he can be considered to be being used by him, which can barely offset the previous grudge.
However, it is nothing but wishful thinking to expect Chai Xin to change his attitude or even have a good impression of him just by doing this.
In the final analysis, it is just about making up for mistakes and avoiding being held accountable later.
"City Lord Xu is very righteous and has restored order. He is truly worthy of being the lord of a city and a role model for the younger generation like us!"
The colorful sedan was carried by everyone. Since Xu Daoqing praised him in public, Chai Xin was not a pedantic person. He immediately started to praise him loudly.
Xu Daoqing was delighted. This Chai Daotai was indeed not a completely foolish person. He was very knowledgeable!
"What are you saying, Mr. Chai? Since we have been entrusted by the people to serve as guides, this is our duty! If a young man as talented, brave, and resilient as you were harmed by some treacherous officials who seek revenge, wouldn't it be an immeasurable loss?"
The two of them sang the same tune and joined forces to suppress the law enforcer Liu Yu, whose face turned red and he was so angry that he wanted to curse.
He knew that his plan to unite with the Yan family and eliminate Xu Daoqing and Chai Xin had completely failed.
With these two people joining forces, with his current strength, there is no way he can stand a chance of winning, let alone suppressing anyone.
In fact, the reason why Xu Daoqing suddenly changed his mind was that he knew that Liu Yu’s main target was not Chai Xin, but him.
Originally, I thought that although Chai Xin was a genius, he had not yet grown up and was not qualified to be an ally.
But after seeing the other party's strength, he found that this was actually a good opportunity for him to truly control the second city.
Even though the existence of Yan Cangqiong cannot eliminate all the influence of the Yan family in the city, it can create a rift in the alliance between the Yan family and the Liu family.
In this way, Xu Daoqing could not only ease the relationship with Chai Xin, but also achieve the goal of further controlling the city. Why wouldn't he do it?
What's more, with the potential shown by Chai Xin, it is impossible for the top leaders to allow the Yan and Liu families to act recklessly.
Although there are open and covert struggles on the ancient trial road, it has not reached the point of complete lawlessness. The final bottom line is still controlled by a group of great saints at the highest level and several quasi-emperors.
Otherwise, if the internal strife of the human race really had no bottom line, they would have been destroyed by many alien races in the universe, such as the gods, demons, and spirits.
"Hmph, Xu Daoqing, remember, today's matter is not over yet. I will definitely file an impeachment complaint with the highest level!"
Liu Yu was well aware that if one defended for too long, one would lose. He immediately burst out with a brilliant aura, blocking the attacks of Chai Xin and Xu Daoqing for a moment. Then his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared on the spot.
"Liu Yu, you abused your power for personal gain and slandered our clan's genius. Your crime is unforgivable! It is my duty to not allow scum like you to taint the purity of the Ancient Trial Road!"
Xu Daoqing had expected this. He waved his hand to dispel the secret technique in his hand and shouted with confidence.
I have to say that this old guy is really good at talking big, and Liu Yu is far inferior to him.
Even Chai Xin couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it.
"Commander Yan committed treason, insulted me, and slandered Tianjiao. He deserves death! It is a great achievement for Chai Xin to bring him to justice!"
Without waiting for Chai Xin to say more, Xu Daoqing spoke again without hesitation, and his words undoubtedly put an end to today's events.
"My dear friend, I have caused you to be humiliated at the banquet I hosted before. It is really my fault. I sincerely apologize here... I wonder if you can do me the honor of continuing the banquet? I promise that no one will dare to disturb us again!"
This capable and experienced style of doing things is rare among monks.
For a Saint King-level being, who also holds a high position as a guide, to apologize to a junior in public so easily is a rare event in the ages.
Chai Xin nodded secretly and couldn't help but look at Xu Daoqing with higher regard.
The other party gave him face, so of course he would not turn a cold face. Hearing this, he dispersed the divine power in the sky, bowed his hands and smiled, "Senior Xu is too polite. It was Chai who misunderstood you. I should drink a glass of wine as an apology!"
"My friend, your words are too sincere. Please come to the banquet again!"
"Senior Xu, please!"
The two men had their own thoughts in their hearts, but they looked friendly on the surface, as if they were friends regardless of age difference. They smiled as they descended from the clouds and returned to their respective seats.
As for the overturned tables and drinks, the servants had naturally rearranged them already.
It was not until this time that the people in the city, who were still in a tense state, slowly came back to their senses.
No one had ever thought that this battle, which was destined to leave a mark in history books, would end so hastily and abruptly.
However, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
In a two-on-one situation, no matter how strong the law enforcers are, how can they withstand it?
Since we know that we are bound to fail, why delay?
Although the battle did not determine the winner, after this battle, Chai Xin's status in everyone's hearts and even his prestige on the entire ancient road will surely rise to a higher level.
Previously, he had only suppressed the incarnation of the Saint King, but now he was able to confront a law enforcer head-on and remain undefeated, and even had a slight advantage in the process.
With such a record, looking at the ancient trial road of the human race today, from the first city to the fiftieth city, who can match it?
Even Emperor Tian, the Great Demon God and others are far from being able to reach him!
At the following banquet, everyone's attitude towards Chai Xin was no different from their attitude towards the older generation of guides and law enforcers; they were extremely respectful, even a little fawning.
For the arrogant geniuses, what they can admire most are not the powerful older generations who are high above them, but the invincible ones among their peers!
Chai Xin not only demonstrated combat power far beyond his peers, but also potential rarely seen in history!
Even Fairy Qingshi, this seemingly approachable but actually very beautiful lady with extraordinary vision, unconsciously used the respectful title "Brother Chai" when she faced Chai Xin again.
In this world, besides Di Tian, the only one she can use this title is Chai Xin.
While the banquet was going on, Chai Xin's latest achievements had spread quickly.
After some time of brewing, he gradually gained a recognized title - Chai Invincible!
On the ancient road, among his peers, no one can defeat him.
