Chapter 236 The Extermination of the King's Authority and the Protest of Loose Cultivators

"Defensive Nascent Soul Charm Treasure!"

Yu Qingtan was not surprised that the royals would possess such life-saving artifacts that triggered automatically.

"Pity, is it useful?" Yu Qingtan sneered in her heart as ten beams of Five Elements Extinction Divine Light shot out once again, bombarding the same spot as the previous attack.

Wang Quan had just taken out a Third-Stage Escape Talisman but hadn't had the chance to activate it.

The shield formed by the Nascent Soul Charm Treasure had been shattered by the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, and Wang Quan immediately followed the same fate as the nine Golden Core Cultivators.

The offensive power of the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light was already comparable to the attacks of an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator.

A beam of red light shot out from his falling body, illuminating Yu Qingtan.

She felt the strength of the Blood Tether.

"The Purification Spell will cleanse it in about a day, no big problem!"

Yu Qingtan quickly gathered the bodies and spoils of war of the ten people, then knocked out the screaming maid Qin'er with a palm strike, and threw her into the System Space.

Using Bleeding Thousand Miles, she traveled a thousand miles away, made an underground cave, placed the objects that couldn't be stored in the System Space there, and then her figure vanished.

A day later, having cleansed the Blood Tether, Yu Qingtan reappeared at the site, and then she returned to the small clinic in the shantytown outside of Yao Ri Immortal City.

"Really, fishing enforcement is quite addictive!" Once she lay down, she had obtained the Encyclopedia of Rare Spirit Plants and Sunlight Divine Water without spending money, but instead made a good profit.

That day, Yu Qingtan opened the clinic's doors, resuming business.

But after more than an hour, no injured or sick people had shown up and the passersby on the road were all in a rush.

Yu Qingtan felt that something was amiss with the atmosphere.

Soon, Yu Qingtan spotted someone she recognized, Xu An, the young man who had carried Ma Dayuan back.

Yu Qingtan called out to him.

"Xu An, what happened? Why does everyone seem to be in such a hurry?"

"Ah, it's Physician Qing, you've reopened. Alas, it's all about Uncle Ma's troubles.

Recently, a Foundation Establishment senior from the Longevity Sect heard about it. He said that we, Loose Cultivators, should unite and petition the City Lord's Mansion, to save Uncle Ma and clear his name."

"Oh, really?" Yu Qingtan narrowed her eyes.

Longevity Sect, quite a strong sense of presence.

"Yes, Ma Gong and I have been convincing others these past days. Physician Qing, could you help us too?"

Xu An looked at Yu Qingtan with hopeful eyes.

"Sure, I'd like to help everyone too!" Yu Qingtan responded with a smile.

"Then, Physician Qing, thank you!"

"Physician Qing, let me take you to the meeting organized by Elder Zhang."

"Alright!"

Yu Qingtan followed Xu An, winding through the shantytown, and arrived at an inconspicuous house.

Under Yu Qingtan's slightly curious gaze, Xu An led her underground.

"We have to keep the meetings secret for fear of discovery by the town's head," he explained.

"Understood, understood!"

"Physician Qing, you came too!"

Underground, there were actually Cultivators on guard.

However, they greeted Yu Qingtan warmly and let her pass without question.

Although Yu Qingtan hadn't been there long, her superb medical skills and minimal charges had won the hearts of the Loose Cultivators in the area.

Descending another level, there lay an enormous space with over a hundred people, some of whom Yu Qingtan recognized as patients she had treated before, with Ma Dayuan prominently among them, right at the front.

There was a small platform in the hall with a gray-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator delivering a speech.

"We, Loose Cultivators, may not be strong individually and suffer all sorts of injustices, but if we stand united, we have the power to change all that.

The Spirit Rice we grow in the fields, the Spirit Ore we dig from the mountains, and the low-grade Spiritual Materials we collect for the shops... We don't ask for much, just for the most basic fair treatment.

…

Now Uncle Ma has been taken away by the Enforcement Team for reporting Mayor Wang's corruption. Faced with such injustice, we must resist. Tomorrow, we will organize the loose cultivators from the shanty district to protest at the City Lord's Mansion.

…

The next day, under Senior Zhang's arrangement, numerous loose cultivators from the shanty district entered the city in batches.

Then tens of thousands suddenly arrived at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, loudly protesting.

The Enforcement Team realized something was wrong and tried to stop them, but it was too late, as more and more loose cultivators joined the protest.

In a short period of time, the crowd had grown to over fifty thousand, and the number was still increasing.

"Release Ma Gong, punish Wang Fugui!"

"Release Ma Gong, punish Wang Fugui!"

"Release Ma Gong, punish Wang Fugui!"

…

Qing Tan was also in the crowd, chanting along with them.

Ma Gong refers to Ma Dayuan's father. And Wang Fugui is Mayor Wang.

…

"Snap—"

Immortal City Yao Ri, Wang Residence.

A teacup was smashed to pieces by Wang Fugui.

A couple of days ago, Wang Fugui, who managed affairs for the Wang family, had sent Young Master Wang Quan and nine clerics to ambush Gou Dongxu, but they did not return, and Wang Quan's Soul Lamp was extinguished.

This immediately caused chaos in the Wang family; after all, Wang Quan was a Nascent Soul elder the Wang family had high hopes for.

Another Golden Core Cultivator from the Wang family, Elder Wangba, immediately sent messages to the elders of the Star Moon Sect and clan members, while also summoning members of the Wang family in Immortal City Yao Ri back to the Mansion for a meeting.

Before people from the Star Moon Sect could return, another issue emerged with protests against Wang Fugui.

"It's a revolt, a revolt! Those damned commoners, I think they should all be captured and thrown into the mines to work!"

Wang Fugui could not suppress his rage.

"Look at the mess you've created, going after those measly gains. Now you can't even handle the aftermath and have caused such a scene.

The Jias have always been at odds with us Wangs, and Cousin Wang Quan even wanted to arrange a marriage to get the families closer together, alas!"

Elder Wangba spoke with some dissatisfaction and regret.

If it weren't for Wang Fugui being his own nephew, he would have liked to give him a beating.

Just then, a servant rushed in to report.

"Elder, someone from the City Lord's Mansion is here—it's Fairy Chunzhen!"

"You hide for a while; I'll go meet her!"

Elder Wangba told Wang Fugui before standing up and walking out.

Upon arriving in the living room, he saw a young girl with pigtails and a green skirt, her face pure and her eyes clear, standing in the living room.

"Fairy Chunzhen, I'm sorry to have troubled you to come all this way!"

"Elder Wangba, this incident has truly had a terrible impact, severely damaging the authority of the Star Moon Sect's edicts. The Wang family must provide a satisfactory explanation, or I fear it won't suffice."

Fairy Chunzhen's voice was melodious and pleasing, but her tone was much more assertive than Elder Wangba's.

"Fairy Chunzhen, my Wang family is willing to immediately release Ma Gong and pay a fine of two-thousand high-grade Spirit Stones to the City Lord's Mansion. Additionally, we will send Wang Fugui to the mines to work for a year. How about that?"

Elder Wangba asked in a negotiating tone.

"Elder Wangba, you might fool those lowly commoners, but do you also intend to fool the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Ah, what if we pay a fine of ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones?"

"It seems Elder Wangba has no intention of resolving this matter. Shall I leave?"

Fairy Chunzhen stepped as if to walk away.

"One hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones!"
