Chapter 45 - 45: Double the Reward
In the restaurant, everyone was watching this show.
As long as Lu Lei didn’t dare to make a move, it wouldn’t be long before the tale of Zhang Chufeng, a disciple of the Fire Sword Sect, driving away Lu Lei, a disciple of the Iron Body Sect, would spread.
Of course, this tale was favorable towards Zhang Chufeng. If Lu Lei backed down, his reputation would be ruined. He couldn’t back down, and he wouldn’t.
“Hahaha… You want to scare me away with just this?” Lu Lei laughed and said sarcastically,” It’s more like your master of the Fire Sword Sect is here. Are you worthy?”
Zhang Chufeng’s smug expression froze, and his face darkened.
“Fools are fools. They can’t recognize reality.”
“How dare you!”
Lu Lei had been practicing the Iron Body Technique in the sect for more than ten years. Now, he was called a good-for-nothing the moment he left the mountain. How could he tolerate this?
Lu Lei could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He immediately leaped up and grabbed it with one hand.
Zhang Chufeng let out a cold snort, his sword unsheathed, and he swung a chair towards Lu Lei.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the chair shattered into pieces.
Lu Lei lunged forward, but Zhang Chufeng had already dodged and jumped away.
“Fool, this place is not suitable for a fight. If you have the guts, come out!”
“Today, I’ll make sure you’re rolling on the ground looking for your teeth. You think highly of yourself! ”
After a verbal exchange, the two groups of people rushed to the street and continued to fight. The pedestrians on the road avoided him.
Fortunately, the ancient land was vast and the buildings were not close to each other. Otherwise, many of the houses would have been destroyed by them.
In the restaurant, some martial world heroes did not bother to eat and ran out to watch the show.
The only boss looked at the overturned table and chairs with heartache. This was his property, and it was destroyed just like that. Moreover… Those two groups of people had eaten and drunk a lot. This debt had not been settled, what should he do?
The boss’s heart was bleeding. What could ordinary people like them do? He could only admit that he was unlucky.
This kind of thing happened quite often as a large number of martial artists
poured into the city.
Ordinary people felt pain and dissatisfaction, but what could they do in the face of these martial cultivators?
At night, Su Yang stopped practicing his sword and was contemplating the matter of bounties.
The last time he had discovered the evil cultivators, he had put the entire Tianfeng Prefecture on high alert. It was of great strategic significance. In addition to the rewards from the Patrol Division’s assessment, he had only received 30,000 merit points and a high-grade treasury token. The Martial Suppression Division’s bounty was as follows:
Ninth-grade demonic cultivators: 100 merit points.
Eighth-grade: 500.
Seventh-grade: 1,000.
Sixth-grade: 3,000.
Fifth-grade: 6,000.
Fourth-grade: 10,000.
Third-grade: 30,000.
Second-grade: 100,000.
First-grade: 200,000.
This was the bounty that the imperial court had issued to the outside world.
Su Yang thought for a moment and decided that as long as he caught them alive and sent them to him, the reward would be doubled according to their cultivation level.
30,000 merit points will be deducted as soon as they are redeemed. If this method worked, he might be able to obtain a large amount of the will of all beings in the future.
Just as Su Yang finished studying this matter, a soldier came to inform him that Han Qiu was looking for him.
When he went over, he realized that he was not the only one.
Sun Tianpeng, Ye Jiang, and Ding Ziwu were also present. It seemed like something had happened.
Han Qiu sat at the top and glanced at a few of them before saying, “After Su Yang discovered the evil cultivators last time, we discovered that there are a large number of them hiding in Tianfeng Prefecture .”
“A large number of villages have already been involved in the incident.”
“This matter needs to be handled properly. Otherwise, Tianfeng Prefecture might become the next Bamboo Willow Prefecture.”
“The movements of the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect are elusive. Officials have been sent down to guard the major cities to prevent massacres.”
“However, we still need to root out this group of rats. With officials guarding the major cities, there is a slight shortage of manpower from the imperial court. Therefore, we can only mobilize the martial world by issuing the Martial World Decree and organizing martial cultivators to find them.”
“With the activation of the martial world decree, it has also attracted new problems.”
After a pause, Han Qiu continued, “Martial cultivators are already difficult to manage, and with a large number of martial world cultivators coming into the city, they act even more recklessly.”
“The people who will suffer losses and be wronged will be the commoners. The Martial Suppression Division can handle some of them, but some are a little difficult.
“That’s why we need the cooperation of the Patrol Department to stop some of the fights in the city.”
With Han Qiu’s words, everyone understood what was happening.
After Su Yang understood it, he suggested, “Lord, although it is necessary to stop the martial cultivators from fighting in the city, the losses suffered by the people must be compensated by them.”
As soon as Su Yang spoke, everyone was shocked. Asking these sect disciples to compensate the people for their losses? This had never happened before. It was already good enough that they were obedient and did not continue to fight.
Han Qiu’s eyes flashed, and the more she looked at Su Yang, the more satisfied she became. He was originally a general of the border army and joined the army to protect the people. Su Yang’s move was to his liking.
“What you said is not wrong, but sometimes, the imperial court cannot take action against these sects. If they refuse to pay the money, it won’t be easy to demand it.”
Da Xia was powerful, but it was also facing many internal and external problems. If they offended the sect again… One or two was fine, but Su Yang obviously did not want to target one or two.
In any case, the current situation faced by the imperial court would definitely not support Su Yang’s actions.
Su Yang thought for a moment and said, “Every time these sect disciples fight, don’t they report their respective sects and identities? Let someone take note of them and register the losses suffered by the common people at the same time. I’ll think of a way later.”
Su Yang didn’t know what the martial world was. He only knew that the lives of the common people weren’t easy. Not only did martial cultivators fight without caring about the losses of the common people, but they also didn’t give compensation after the fight. What was the difference between that and a fight between thugs?
Han Qiu found it interesting. “Although I don’t know what you plan to do, I agree with your idea. I’ll inform the Martial Suppression Division and let them be responsible for registration.”
After some discussion, Su Yang and the rest should not act rashly for the time being. Their main goal was to guard the county city and manage the public order.
They would make a decision after locking down the location of the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect.
With the steps determined, Han Qiu let them go to execute the plan. However, Su Yang stayed behind.
“Sir, I need your help.”
Han Qiu smiled and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Su Yang grinned and said, “I want to ask you to give me a reward.”
Then, Su Yang told him about his reward plan.
After Han Qiu heard this, he frowned, but he did not say much and agreed.
Su Yang had already looked for him, which meant that he had thought about this matter carefully.
Actually, Su Yang could have done it himself, but it would have seemed somewhat irregular and inappropriate. It would be more suitable for Han Qiu to issue the bounty as an official of the Imperial Court.
Everything was settled.
The next morning, two more notices appeared in the city.
[Reward: Capture the evil cultivator alive and send him to the Patrol
Department. The merit points will be doubled. The limit is 30,000 merit points.
The deadline for collection is the end of the day.]
[Notice: Martial artists are strictly prohibited from using force in the city. Damage to items will be compensated according to the price. Those who injure others will be imprisoned.]
These two notices spread throughout the prefecture, and even the incoming martial world guests became aware of them.
Most of the players ‘attention was on the bounty. Some people even packed up and prepared to look for the evil cultivators. After all, they only had 30,000 merit points.
As for the prohibition on fighting within the city… did they even fight? Even if they did, so what? As long as they didn’t kill anyone, what could the imperial court do to them?
The sect disciples with backgrounds didn’t care too much. It was only the scattered cultivators who took note. This was also the sorrow of scattered cultivators. Without backing, they didn’t dare to act recklessly..
