The three of them were laughing and joking as they arrived at Pang Manor's courtyard.
Shen Zhao immediately wiped the smile from his face, pinned the Public Arbitration Council badge to his shoulder, and strode towards the manor gates.
"Halt! Who goes there!"
"Don't you see where you are? People like you shouldn't be here!"
"Get lost, or we'll drag you to the back mountains to be laborers!"
The Pang family's lackeys at the gate were all arrogant, their noses in the air, with the standard villainous posture of eyes in the back of their heads.
Shen Zhao, with his sleeves rolled up, was just about to teach these small fries a lesson. But Ding Buer stepped forward, saying, "Shen-ye, give me a chance to show off."
"Alright, go ahead."
"Thank you, Shen-ye."
Ding Buer straightened his clothes and strode forward, addressing the group, "Do you know who we are?"
One of the small fries, with a slanted eyebrow and a crooked eye, sized him up and sneered, "Who do you think you are? Just a bunch of beggars, pretending to be recluses?"
Another small fry, picking his nose, laughed, "Hehe, there are so many vagrants outside Jinling City, and so many fools too. They're obviously here to swindle people."
"Haha, is he going to say he's from some sect? Then use the excuse of paying respects to the old lady to freeload?"
"Laughable. If they're from some sect, then I'm the current Empress's husband, hahaha."
Ding Buer's face flushed red from the mocking of this group of nobodies. He immediately flicked his sleeve and angrily said, "How dare you be so bold as to not even show respect to the Public Arbitration Council?"
"Public Arbitration Council?"
The group was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
"What Public Arbitration Council or Mother Arbitration Council? Never heard of it."
"Some nobody who popped out of nowhere, thinking they could pretend to be a hunter just because they have a dead rat hanging from their belt."
"If you'd mentioned the Heavenly Extinction Sacred Ground, we might have been a bit afraid, but this Public Arbitration Council… I can't breathe, I'm dying of laughter."
After they finished laughing, the leading, sharp-tongued family servant immediately became serious. "Get out of here at once, or I'll arrest all of you!"
Su Yunying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she stepped forward. "So this is the family style of Grand Tutor Pang of the current dynasty. I've truly broadened my horizons today."
Everyone looked over when they heard that, and they were immediately captivated by Su Yunying's beauty. They all revealed the gazes of a lecher, constantly sizing her up and down, especially lingering on the pair of slender, snow-white jade legs peeking out from under her skirt.
"Keep your eyes where they belong!"
Su Yunying's face was slightly angered as she warned them.
"Ay, miss, you're really beautiful. Why don't you come and have some fun with us?"
"Yeah, little sister, do you want to play together?"
"We're just killing time anyway."
Filthy words, unbearable to witness.
Ding Buer immediately said to Su Yunying, "Let's go, Miss Su. There's nothing to say to this bunch of blind fools. Let's go."
"Hmph."
Su Yunying and Ding Buer turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, they were blocked by this group of small fry.
"You dare to come to Pang Manor and swindle, and now you want to leave? Too late."
"That's right, come with us!"
The leader, who was sharp-tongued and mean, immediately wanted to capture the three of them, then subdue Su Yunying and deliver her to Pang Yang. This way, he would certainly gain a lot of benefits, and maybe even get a chance to enjoy such beauty?
However, Shen Zhao had already rolled up his sleeves and strode in front of the sharp-tongued person, saying to him, "You dare to offend the people of the Public Arbitration Council, it seems you're tired of living, aren't you?"
The sharp-tongued person didn't feel any threat, still puffing out his neck and saying, "Bullshit Public Arbitration Council, I don't give a damn today, what can you do?"
Shen Zhao snorted softly, then took a step back, glancing at Ding Buer and Su Yunying.
Both of them wore expressions of sighing and shaking their heads.
The next moment, the man, still sharp-tongued and about to spew more harsh words, heard a "crack."
His consciousness immediately followed his forehead as it hit the ground.
This scene caused the other Pang Manor servants to fall into a brief moment of stunned silence. When they came to their senses, they roared in unison.
"You dare to act in Pang Manor, you little brat? You're tired of living, aren't you!"
"I'm telling you, you're finished!"
"Remember to be born into a good family in your next life, and don't be so impulsive."
In an instant, the small fry all grabbed their weapons and swarmed Shen Zhao like a tidal wave.
But Shen Zhao wasn't fazed in the slightest. He sidestepped a small fry's cleaver, and then with a "thump," sent the attacker flying with a punch.
Then he dodged another small fry's thrust, and with a "crack" of a punch, the guy wouldn't be eating dinner for a while.
The next moment, Shen Zhao was fully in the zone, facing the small fry constantly pouring out of the gate. He was like Ali Tyson incarnate.
With a "boom" of a punch, one was knocked away.
With a "splat," two were sent flying.
With a "snap" of a punch, bones were broken.
With a "thud," one took off.
In a flurry of satisfying, bone-crunching blows, forty or fifty lackeys lay sprawled outside Pang Manor, clutching broken legs and arms while emitting bloodcurdling screams.
The leader of the lackeys, holding a club and standing in the center, was furious when he saw this. He immediately tossed aside his club and performed a set of calisthenics right there.
"Oh~~"
"Ya~~"
"Ha~~"
Shen Zhao watched the lackey perform with such gusto, even letting out a fart mid-routine, and then strolled over to him slowly.
The next instant, the lackey immediately leaped and knelt, crying, "Big brother, this small one didn't recognize Mount Tai, can you give me a chance?"
Shen Zhao stepped on his face, then asked, "Now you know how formidable the Public Arbitration Council is? Let me tell you, the Public Arbitration Council is the most mysterious organization on the Immortal Martial Continent,
"We're all about fairness and justice, responsible for maintaining order on the continent. I didn't want to come out of seclusion for a thousand years, but seeing the decline of morals today is truly disappointing.
Does the Pang Manor want to cease to exist? Back then, at the Public Arbitration Council, I destroyed the Destroying Immortal Realm and slaughtered the Yellow Springs Underworld Gate.
Even the ancient immortal sects didn't dare to fart in our presence, and yet, in just a few years, you little shrimps dare to act up.
Is it that the Public Arbitration Council's blades have become dull, or do you think we've gone vegetarian? It seems today we must use your blood to help everyone remember."
The crowd was shocked upon hearing this.
Ding Buer's mind went blank, thinking: This guy's act is too grand, how will he wrap this up later?
But since Shen Zhao, the boss, didn't care, why should he? Whatever, just enjoy the show.
Those little shrimps, upon hearing Shen Zhao's words, all knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy, wailing like ghosts:
"Immortal grandpa, please be magnanimous and just let us go."
"I have an eighty-year-old daughter and a three-year-old mother. I just came to Pang Manor to scrounge for a living, and I didn't mean to offend Immortal Grandpa."
"Please, Immortal Grandpa, spare us and give us a chance to atone for our mistakes."
The sight of hundreds of small fry kneeling and kowtowing at the entrance of Pang Manor immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.
The commotion quickly drew Pang Da, the steward of Pang Manor. Seeing the scene before him, he immediately roared, "What are you doing? What's going on?"
The shrewish fellow, upon hearing this, immediately pointed at Pang Da and angrily said, "Shut up. Immortal Grandpa has come to our Pang Manor today, which is a heaven-sent opportunity. You old dog, quickly come and worship Immortal Grandpa with me, and beg Immortal Grandpa to spare us."
Pang Da was shocked. This shrewish fellow used to be so respectful whenever he saw him. Today, he actually dared to talk back to him?
How hateful...
Then he looked at Shen Zhao: "What kind of random nobody dares to impersonate a con artist in front of my Pang Manor? You might be able to fool them with your street performer tricks, but you can't fool someone as learned as me!"
Shen Zhao: "Oh ho, so it seems you're not convinced at all?"
Pang Da: "Kid, in the court, Pang Manor is the sky, Pang Manor is the earth, and you are just a speck of dust, the kind that even a broom can't reach. If you're smart, quickly kneel down and admit your mistake, perhaps I can leave you with a whole corpse."
"So arrogant, then I'd like to see how the sky of your Pang Manor destroys me, this speck of dust."
"Don't know what's good for you, I'll let you see my Pang Da's strength today."
The next moment, Pang Da's spiritual energy erupted, revealing a cultivation base at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Seeing this, Shen Zhao and the other two were all stunned.
They thought he was so amazing, but they didn't expect him to be so full of himself with only a Qi Condensation Realm cultivation. Where on earth did he get his confidence? Didn't he recognize the situation?
Seeing that the three of them weren't speaking, Pang Da assumed they were intimidated by his aura.
"Now you know fear, right? It's too late to beg for mercy. You ants, today I'll show you how vast the heavens are!"
This familiar bragging tone seemed to have been heard not long ago in the Guhe Sect.
Then, the Guhe Sect was gone…
"Let me show you my Pang Da's divine power, One Finger Holding Up the Heavens!"
With his Qi Condensation finger, Pang Da rushed at Shen Zhao.
But the next moment…
"Crack~"
A swift blow sent Pang Da's massive frame crashing against the gate.
"Pfft~"
Pang Da coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face a mask of disbelief.
"You...you actually..."
"Now, can you tell me if you can shake this speck of dust?"
Hearing this, Pang Da immediately got up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and howled to the heavens, "The Pang family's honor must not be sullied! It seems I must use my ultimate move today to repay the Pang family's years of kindness."
With that, Pang Da charged towards Shen Zhao.
A step away from Shen Zhao, he suddenly dropped to his knees with a "thud".
"Immortal Grandpa, can you give this little one a chance?"
"Didn't you say the Pang family's reputation was not to be sullied?"
"This little one's surname is Chen, what does the Pang family's reputation have to do with me?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to repay the Pang family's kindness?"
"Two Spirit Crystals a month, I can't even afford a down payment in the city, what kind of repayment is that? Just trying to get by, Immortal Grandpa, please don't take it seriously."
Pang Da spoke with tears streaming down his face, looking utterly heartbroken, which really blinded everyone's eyes.
Ding Buer sneered, saying, "I told you to kneel down and speak nicely to Immortal Grandpa, you understand now, huh?"
Su Yunying was speechless at the scene before her. It seemed the Pang family was just a bunch of paper tigers, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
