Chapter 37 The Six Doors, what immense official power they wield!

"Watch out!!!"

"Little Five!!"

Two successive shouts rang out from the two youths behind.

However, they were not worried about the child about to be trampled by the horse's hooves, but rather a youth in black who had struck from the side, stabbing with a sword at the Gao Family's Fifth Young Master, who was galloping wildly.

"How dare you, brat!"

The two old men with white eyebrows among the guards were furious at the sight.

The two of them leaped from their horses, using the air to gain leverage, their figures flashing rapidly, faster than galloping horses, as they overtook several people in front.

Two strikes of chilling palm force landed, one after the other.

They struck toward the Sword Qi released by the youth in black and his back, respectively.

"Ha!!"

The youth in black let out a long whistle, and his Sword Qi suddenly surged, breaking through the blockade of the palm force, while he twisted his body and landed in the distance, dodging the palm strike aimed at him.

"Hahaha! The Twin Fiends with White Eyebrows are nothing special!"

After landing, the youth laughed three times, then leaped directly onto the roof of a nearby house and disappeared into the distance.

"Where are you going, thief!?"

The second of the Twin Fiends with White Eyebrows frowned and shouted angrily, ready to give chase.

The eldest stopped him, saying, "Second, that Blood Weeping Sword Technique belongs to someone from Big Black Mountain. Don't fall for the enemy's diversionary tactic!"

"Check on the Fifth Young Master first!"

"Ah!!!"

"My leg!!!"

The Gao Family's Fifth Young Master was sprawled on the ground, screaming in agony, tears and snot streaming down his face.

The others crowded around him.

Under that last strike, not only was the little red horse he was riding cut into two, but one of his thighs had also been severed by the Sword Qi, with blood flowing profusely.

If not for his Third Realm cultivation, which allowed him to dodge in time, he likely would have died from that sword strike.

Even so, the intense pain almost made him faint.

"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, save me!!"

"Damn it!"

The Gao Family's Third Young Master cursed under his breath and immediately ordered, "Hurry and fetch the Family physician, see if they can reattach Little Five's leg!"

He then turned to the Twin Fiends with White Eyebrows, "The two of you, go and chase that thief! Also, seal the city gates! Do not let him escape the city!"

The eldest of the white-browed pair hesitated, "I'm afraid the enemy..."

"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

"Go now!!"

The last sentence was almost roared out by the Gao Family's Third Young Master.

Fifth Young Master Gao Zhe, sixteen years old, was the Disciple in this generation of the Gao Family with talent second only to Gao Yang.

Big Black Mountain daring to make a move against a Gao Family Genius Disciple had undoubtedly touched the Gao Family's reverse scale.

Even if the elders of the Gao Family were here, they would have done the same.

"Yes!"

The Twin Fiends with White Eyebrows had no choice but to accept the order and leave.

They headed straight for the city gates; as long as they sealed the gates and conducted a city-wide search, no matter how cunning the thief from Big Black Mountain was, he wouldn't be able to escape.

For a time, the street was in chaos.

Everywhere, Gao Family guards were running about, and for a moment, no one paid attention to the child.

He was finally carried away by his parents...

...

Yan Chu watched the scene, closed the window, and sat alone on the bed, deep in thought.

It seemed that the rumors of the Gao Family being arrogant and domineering in Linshui Prefecture were not only true but perhaps even an understatement.

Galloping through a busy market—if this were in Longhua Prefecture...

Even if you were a Disciple of the four major powers, you wouldn't be able to avoid a trip to the Six Doors prison.

Although it might not necessarily lead to anything serious.

But the proper attitude had to be maintained.

Yet in Linshui City, these dozen or so riders from the Gao Family had been galloping through the busy market for so long, and not a single government official had come to intervene.

In just this short time, at least a dozen passersby had been killed or injured by the trampling horses.

With the Gao Family acting like this, there must be many people in Linshui Prefecture who were dissatisfied.

It's not as if your Family is invincible just because you produced a Qilin like Gao Yang.

One must know that there is always someone better, and a sky beyond the sky.

If Big Black Mountain dared to openly oppose the Gao Family, there must be even more people secretly wanting to make things difficult for them.

As he was thinking about this, suddenly, a commotion broke out in the inn.

"Open up!"

"What is the matter, officers?"

"Six Doors is searching for criminals!!"

"All strangers from the Jianghu who just checked in, come out and accept inspection!"

"I suspect you are harboring bandits from Big Black Mountain here!"

Clatter, crash!

That was the sound of cups and plates hitting the floor.

A moment later, bang, bang, bang!

There was frantic pounding on the door.

Opening the door, the innkeeper, with two dark circles under his eyes and a swollen left cheek, said apologetically, "I am truly sorry, guest!"

"The government is chasing wanted criminals. I would like to trouble you to come out and cooperate, let the two officers search the room, and the inn will waive your room fee for today."

Yan Chu looked past the innkeeper to the people behind him.

Two fierce-looking Constables in black stood outside the door, looking unfriendly.

His attention then shifted to the inn's lobby.

He saw five or six Jianghu people there who had already been disarmed, stripped down to their undergarments, and were obediently accepting the inspection.

All the silver on their persons was, naturally, being confiscated.

Under the gaze of everyone, those Jianghu people all wore expressions of humiliation.

But they dared not resist.

Not only because the other party was the Six Doors, but also because there were several Gao Family guards.

It even looked like the Gao Family guards seemed more like government officials than the people from the Six Doors.

"Get lost!"

At the door, the Constable on the left shoved the innkeeper aside rudely and prepared to barge directly into Yan Chu's room.

He would first take all the silver he could find in the room.

Then he would throw this Jianghu person into prison, and he could squeeze even more profit out of him!

This city-wide search was a rare, lucrative job for them.

He wished there could be more of these!

Slap!

Seeing Yan Chu blocking the doorway, the Constable tried the same trick again.

He imagined he could push Yan Chu aside just like he did the innkeeper, but when his palm pressed against Yan Chu's chest, it was like pressing against a boulder; Yan Chu did not budge an inch.

"You..."

The Constable's expression turned fierce, and he roared, "Six Doors is on official business, get out of my way!"

Yan Chu said coldly, "The Six Doors of this place is truly lacking in manners!"

Forcing a search at the slightest disagreement—did they think he was one of those ordinary Jianghu people? Someone they could bully at will without resistance?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Yan Chu's words left the two Constables somewhat confused.

The other Constable drew his blade with a clang, pointed it at Yan Chu, and shouted fiercely, "Resisting a government search? I think you're an accomplice of the Big Black Mountain bandits! Come with us to the prison!"

"Heh!"

Yan Chu sneered, "The Gao Family members were galloping through the streets committing violence, yet I didn't see you do anything. We haven't done anything, yet we are to be humiliated?"

"Six Doors! What great official might you have!"

"If you were really allowed to be officials for two years, I'm afraid you wouldn't even put the Emperor himself in your eyes, would you?!"

"Looking for death!"

Hearing Yan Chu's sarcastic remarks, the first Constable immediately channeled his power into both palms and struck with all his might toward Yan Chu's chest.

Bang!

"Ah!!!"

As soon as his palm force landed on Yan Chu, he felt an identical force rebound from the other person, but the power was more than ten times greater.

Both his arms were broken by this force, and he screamed as he crashed through the railing and fell to the floor below, smashing several dining tables, blood pouring from his mouth.

This was exactly returning the favor in kind!

"How dare you..."

The other Constable, who had drawn his blade, was shocked and immediately slashed down at the top of Yan Chu's head.

Thud!

Yan Chu struck out with a palm, light as a feather, but faster than the blade; he crushed the man's heart, and the man fell from the second floor, dying on the spot.

[Killed the corrupt Six Doors Constable who was abusing his power, extremely gratifying, EXP +100]

Yan Chu walked out of the room, looking down at the Constables below with a blank expression.

As well as the few people next to the Constables wearing the Gao Family guard uniforms.

"Six Doors, I have tolerated you for long enough!"
