24: After beating the little one, the big one comes?

All the Judgment Squad members looked at each other.

They looked at me, I looked at them, but no one dared to step forward.

On one hand, even the Squad Leader was crushed by Shen Xi to such a state, and these squad members were only in the Initial Stage of Yuanqi Realm. Even with battle formation coordination, they were clearly no match for Shen Xi.

On the other hand, they also felt that Shen Xi had done nothing wrong; he had simply encountered injustice on the road and drawn his sword to help.

The Judgment Squad existed to maintain the order of Zhu Feng City and guard its safety; it was never a tool for an individual to vent his anger.

Under these circumstances, the members were naturally unwilling to act.

"Are you all deaf? Do you not understand what I'm saying?"

The Squad Leader was furious and cursed at his subordinates.

These idiots dared to disobey his orders. After this matter was over, he would definitely deal with them severely.

Silence!

A deathly silence.

The members still showed no reaction.

This, however, completely panicked the Squad Leader.

The members ignored Shen Xi, and he himself had lost his combat ability.

If Shen Xi wanted his life, wouldn't it be as easy as pinching something in his hand?

This also meant that his life was now in Shen Xi's hands.

As for reinforcements, who knew when they would arrive.

Shen Xi could easily kill him and then leave gracefully.

Thinking of this, a fine cold sweat broke out on the Squad Leader's forehead.

"You all..."

The Squad Leader's voice noticeably softened.

In the Face of death, he no longer dared to order his subordinates around.

However, before he could beg the members to act, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"What happened?"

The newcomer was also wearing a suit of armor, and like the Judgment Squad members, it was carved with the unique lines of the Judgment Squad.

The only difference was that this person's armor was white, and he had no subordinates.

Seeing this person appear, the Squad Leader immediately became excited.

"Sir, someone is causing trouble in Zhu Feng City!"

This person was also a member of the Judgment Squad, but his rank was one level higher than the Squad Leader; he was a Captain-level existence.

The Zhu Feng City Judgment Squad, from lowest to highest, consisted of five ranks: General Manager, Cadre, Captain, Squad Leader, and Member.

Normally, each Squad Leader led his members on patrols.

But once a person was promoted to Captain, they no longer needed to patrol and could focus on Cultivating, only needing to act personally if there was a difficult enemy.

As for Cadres, they were even more leisurely and comfortable. They controlled a large amount of resources in Zhu Feng City, and their status was incredibly high; they were rarely seen, like a Dragon whose head is seen but not its tail.

And the General Manager was an existence that only the Zhu Feng City Lord could invite.

The simplest way to identify these people was by the armor they wore.

The General Manager's armor was gold, the Cadre's was black, and white armor was exclusive to the Captain level.

Every Captain, at their weakest, was in the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm, and some even reached the Yuan Qi Transformation Realm.

Dealing with a Shen Xi would be as easy as picking something up, wouldn't it?

"Are you the one causing trouble?"

The Captain quickly noticed Shen Xi and asked.

Shen Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes. Why did this plot feel so familiar? "Beat the small one, here comes the big one"?

Could it be that after beating the big one, the old one would come?

That's right, even facing the Captain, Shen Xi had the idea of fighting.

He could clearly perceive that the opponent was in the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm.

Although he was one minor Realm higher than himself, Shen Xi's current strength could be said to be invincible within the same Realm, and he even had the power to fight across one minor Realm.

After all, the Captain was a Martial Artist, not a Yao Beast, so the pressure wasn't that great.

Moreover, even if he wasn't the opponent's match, Shen Xi could leave calmly.

However, what surprised Shen Xi was that the Captain did not directly target him.

The opponent first understood the specific course of events before finally looking coldly at the Squad Leader.

"It seems your time as Squad Leader is over. Such an obvious matter, yet you still indiscriminately targeted this young man, completely disgracing our Zhu Feng City."

"Come, men! Take him to the disciplinary room for a month of self-reflection, and I announce the revocation of his Squad Leader position, demoting him to a member."

"As for the two guards, they severely damaged the reputation of Zhu Feng City. Their guard duties are revoked, and they will be handed over to the Second Squad for judgment. They will definitely be punished severely."

"Zhu Feng City has always been fair, never wronging a good person nor letting a bad person go. Please rest assured, adventurers, we will not condone such bullying behavior."

The Captain handled this matter very decisively.

The Squad Leader was demoted, and the two guards were handed over to the Judgment Squad for processing, their fate also predictable.

This series of actions also won back a lot of goodwill from adventurers.

The Captain also personally came before Shen Xi, actively removed his helmet, revealing a handsome Face, and apologized, "I am very sorry for bringing you unnecessary trouble, and thank you for your contribution to purifying the atmosphere of Zhu Feng City."

Shen Xi nodded, not saying much.

He knew very well that the Captain's actions were not only due to guilt but also because of the many onlookers present.

Among these people were adventurers who came to explore nearby, and merchants who specially traveled to Zhu Feng City to do business.

Their presence brought a lot of economy to Zhu Feng City, as well as a large amount of needed Materials.

If a bad impression of Zhu Feng City was left in everyone's hearts, who would dare to come to Zhu Feng City to spend money in the future?

Zhu Feng City's economy would inevitably be affected, or even decline.

Because of this, the Captain publicly dealt with this matter, aiming to convey a message that Zhu Feng City was fair and just, and that all adventurers and merchants could confidently and boldly come to this city.

One had to admit, he was indeed a Captain-level figure; both his strength and his perspective were beyond what the Squad Leader could compare to.

The former had already begun to consider the pros and cons of Zhu Feng City, while the latter was still digging his own grave for the sake of so-called Face.

"To express our gratitude, all of this young man's food and lodging in Zhu Feng City during this period will be covered by the Judgment Squad, and there will be an additional one million wilderness coin as a token of appreciation."

The Captain spoke again, taking out a crimson gold coin.

The exchange rate of wilderness coin was the same as federal currency, also divided into copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, crimson gold coins, and diamond coins, with a ratio of one hundred to one.

One crimson gold coin was equivalent to one million copper coins.

"Thank you, this was just a misunderstanding."

Shen Xi took the crimson gold coin, no longer being relentless, and also gave the Captain a way to save Face.
