Chapter 221 Seeking Justice

“First, take this pill; it can heal your leg injury.”

What!

Chen Ahud almost stumbled and fell upon hearing this.

Such a miraculous elixir, Ansheng actually wants to give it to him!

“This, this is absolutely out of the question… Ansheng, if I take this pill, I’ll be indebted for life!”

“Who wants you to repay it? It’s just a healing pill, no big deal, hurry up and take it.”

With a flick of his finger, Chen Ansheng sent the pill into Chen Ahud’s mouth.

The medicinal power instantly spread, merging into the wounds of his legs, and all pain instantly vanished.

“My legs, they’re healed!”

Chen Ahud was ecstatic, his eyes turning red as he knelt down again and repeatedly bowed to Chen Ansheng.

“Ansheng, your kindness is something I’ll never forget!”

The demonesses in the shop also looked on in awe.

Such a precious elixir, offered just like that—what a generous act!

“Okay, we’re brothers; no need for such formality,” Chen Ansheng said.

“Ah.” Chen Ahud wiped his tears and continued, “To be honest, I just left the village last year. I found a mining job with great difficulty, but I inadvertently offended someone. Not only did I lose my job, but I also got my legs broken. In desperation, I ended up begging here, and I never expected to meet you, Ansheng.”

“Which mining site?”

Chen Ansheng asked casually.

“Beidu Township, Zhang Family, it’s a hundred and eighty miles from here,” Chen Ahud replied.

“Alright, take me there. I’ll help you seek justice,” Chen Ansheng declared.

Upon hearing this, not only was Chen Ahud shocked, but the demoness beside him also changed her expression and said, “Young master, the Zhang Family is not to be trifled with. They have a true immortal in their clan!”

“Yes, Ansheng.” Chen Ahud hurriedly added, “I’ve heard that the Zhang Family does work for the Red Moon Sect; their power is terrifying. I think we should just forget about it.”

“Red Moon Sect?” Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Young master, you don’t even know about the Red Moon Sect? This area spans eight hundred miles, all under their control. I’ve heard they have two or three mystical immortals in their ranks. You mustn’t act impulsively; you could attract disaster,” the demoness genuinely worried for Chen Ansheng, fearing he might die and she’d lose a major patron.

“Hmph, so what if they’re mystical immortals? Does this young master fear them in the slightest! Tiger Brother, have you finished eating? Let’s make a trip!”

Chen Ansheng stood up, an overwhelming aura subtly emanating from him.

Chen Ahud sensed a hint of that aura, feeling as if he might suffocate.

“Uh… Ansheng, are you really going? I’m… I’m afraid of dragging you down.” Chen Ahud felt a mix of excitement and fear.

“Don’t worry, with me around, you won’t suffer any loss. Just lead the way,” Chen Ansheng replied calmly.

“Alright, alright.” Chen Ahud nodded, saying, “The mine still owes me one hundred and twenty spirit crystals for my wages. We just need to get that back.”

Chen Ansheng didn’t say anything further, tossed ten purple crystals to settle the bill, and then walked out.

The boss and the demonesses offered their thanks but didn’t speak more.

Before long, the two arrived at the Zhang Family mine.

“Stop! This is a restricted area; halt!”

A Zhang family disciple immediately stepped forward to block their way and shouted.

“Is it you? You worthless dog, dare you come to the mine? Don’t you fear that I’ll skin you alive?!”

Chen Ahud trembled in fear and repeatedly cupped his hands in salute, “Lord Zhang, have mercy! Please settle my wages for the last two months; I’m in a hurry to go home.”

“You piece of trash, you still dare to ask for money!” The Zhang disciple’s eyes glinted with menace. “You stole twelve pounds of purple crystals! It’s a huge mercy that I haven’t taken your life. And now you dare to ask for money? You must want to die!”

“Lord Zhang, you searched and investigated; I didn’t steal the crystals! You can’t wrongfully accuse an innocent person!” Chen Ahud’s face was full of despair.

Mentioning this ignited Chen Ansheng’s fury.

Not long ago, he too was wrongfully accused of stealing purple crystals; if it weren’t for brother Li Zhengyang’s intervention, his fate wouldn’t have been any better than Chen Ahud’s!

The Zhang disciple sneered, “I say you stole it, so you did! Who told you to be so lowly? If you don’t take the blame, do you expect me to? Come here and kneel to admit your mistake, or I’ll break your spine!”

Chen Ahud’s face turned pale, stepping back repeatedly.

Chen Ansheng took a step forward, “So you recognize my brother is innocent?”

“Who are you, stray dog? This is not a place for you to speak!” The Zhang disciple glanced at Chen Ansheng and swiftly raised his hand to strike.

Chen Ansheng’s gaze darkened, and he retaliated with a palm strike.

Bang!

Blood mist sprayed everywhere as the Zhang disciple’s arm exploded upon impact!

“Ah! You, you…”

The Zhang disciple grimaced in pain, completely horrified.

“Kneel!”

Chen Ansheng shouted coldly, his powerful celestial aura pressing down, shattering the Zhang disciple’s legs.

“I didn’t recognize the great man; please spare me!” The Zhang disciple was instantly scared to tears.

“Bold and reckless, you dare to intrude into my Zhang Family mine!”

At that moment, several Zhang elders flew out.

Weapons of various kinds were summoned, attacking Chen Ansheng.

“Ants!”

A hint of disdain curled Chen Ansheng’s lips as he raised a hand and pressed down.

Boom!

A massive shadow of celestial energy descended from the sky, suppressing the approaching elders from the air.

“Just a mere eighth realm immortal, how dare you act recklessly before me? Bring out your family head to admit their mistake; otherwise, I will wipe out your Zhang Family!”

Chen Ansheng shouted coldly.

“Immortal, please calm your anger; we know we were wrong.”

The elders, completely terrified, bones shattered, blood gushing from their mouths, hurriedly transmitted their plea to the Zhang Family patriarch.

Before long, a true immortal suddenly descended.

It was a middle-aged man in a green robe—the patriarch of the Zhang Family.

“Dao brother, why do you harm my clan members?”

The patriarch could not sense Chen Ansheng’s cultivation level and felt immense fear.

Looking at Chen Ansheng’s attire and imposing aura, he determined that this person was definitely not to be trifled with!

“You all slandered my brother, making baseless accusations of theft, and broke his legs! Speak!” Chen Ansheng exerted just a hint of his aura.

The patriarch was nearly knocked over by that trace of aura, panic setting in.

“What do you mean, immortal?”

“Stop the nonsense! Immediately compensate my brother for his losses and admit your error, or I will ensure the Zhang Family’s demise!”

The patriarch felt a mad killing intent, suffering as if pierced by countless swords.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not daring to say more, and directly ordered, “Send five thousand spirit crystals to the immortal at once!”

Chen Ansheng’s face darkened, “What nonsense is this? Just the healing pill for my brother’s legs is worth no less than fifty thousand! Are your Zhang Family people really seeking death?”

“W-what does the immortal want?” The patriarch asked, trembling.

Chen Ansheng struck out with a palm, sending the patriarch flying, “You brazen fool, how dare you ask this seat! Kneel down and reflect on your errors!”

The patriarch was hit hard, blood oozing from his face, his anger boiling, “Friend, don’t go too far! Do you know that I am a true disciple of the Red Moon Sect? My master is a celestial being of the Red Moon. If you dare to deceive me, you won’t be able to escape the consequences…”

“Threatening me? An ungrateful fool!”

Chen Ansheng flicked his finger, and a beam of sword intent shot out, severing one of the patriarch’s arms.
