Chapter 327 Ghost Palace

Seeing that the team leader did not even question the passersby who had witnessed the event and directly convicted him, Ling Chen knew that these two must have conspired together.

"I am innocent. Why should I confess to a crime?"

Ling Chen spoke indifferently.

"With both personal and physical evidence present, you still want to deny it? Take him away!"

The team leader said coldly.

This City Guard Army squad leader was a Cultivator of the fifth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, and those squad members were at least at the fourth level.

With their strength, wasn’t capturing a Cultivator of the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm like taking something from one’s pocket?

"Get lost!"

Ling Chen shouted coldly.

His sharp gaze actually stopped the actions of a few members of the City Guard Army.

"Defying the City Guard Army’s enforcement of the law, do you wish to die?"

Murderous intent flashed in the team leader’s eyes.

Gao Ling also stood by with schadenfreude, watching Ling Chen dare to resist law enforcement. According to the law, the City Guard Army had the right to kill him on the spot.

Ling Chen stared at the team leader and said, "I dare not admit to any crimes that I did not commit, and you are not qualified to judge me for my crimes!"

"What a joke!"

The team leader said coldly: "You, a bumpkin from elsewhere, dare to make such audacious claims in the presence of this team leader?"

"Let me ask you, if I were a Noble Family’s Young Master, would you dare to judge my crimes?"

Ling Chen asked.

"Noble Family’s Young Master?"

The team leader sneered, saying, "What are you worth, comparing yourself to Noble Family’s Young Masters? Moreover, this team leader is a descendant of the Qin Family!"

"Turns out, you are a Noble Family’s Young Master. Have you ever heard of Jiang Wusheng from the Jiang Family?"

Ling Chen asked.

"Jiang Wusheng?"

The team leader nodded and said, "Of course, the super genius with the Death Spirit Body! What, do you know him?"

Ling Chen revealed a grin and said, "Of course I do."

A serious look flashed in the team leader’s eyes, saying, "If Jiang Wusheng intervenes, I can deal with you leniently."

"Sorry."

Ling Chen shook his head and said, "He probably cannot intervene anymore."

"Heh!"

The team leader sneered and said, "What, you think just by mentioning a name I will let you go?"

After all that talk, this kid just knew of Jiang Wusheng.

"No."

Ling Chen stared at the team leader and said, "What I am trying to say is, Jiang Wusheng died by my hand. Even the Jiang Family could do nothing about it. Who are you to judge my crime?"

"Heh, you killed Jiang Wusheng? Haha! Don’t be ridiculous. With your strength?"

The team leader mocked.

Even he himself might not be a match for Jiang Wusheng.

A little guy of the first level of the Primordial Pill realm claiming that he killed Jiang Wusheng?

These words might scare some unworldly bumpkin, but to scare someone like him, a Noble Family’s Young Master, it was just ludicrous.

"Alright, kid, don’t waste any more time. Here, no one can save you!"

The team leader said coldly.

"Is that so?"

Just then, a figure emerged from the crowd.

"Can I save him?"

The person spoke.

The team leader sneered, saying, "Who do you think you ar—"

He never finished his sentence.

Because he recognized the newcomer.

"Lord Zhang!"

The team leader immediately saluted Zhang Yan.

He didn’t understand why Zhang Yan would intervene to help Ling Chen.

Others might not be familiar with his identity, but he knew it!

He was one of the Ghost King Guards!

"Captain Qin, I saw it very clearly just now. It was this guy who, under the pretense of leading the way, extorted Spirit Stones from Ling Chen and the others."

"Moreover, they weren’t ordinary Primordial Spirit Stones, but top-quality ones!"

Zhang Yan said coldly.

"What?"

A surge of rage appeared on Captain Qin’s face, he said, "Demanding top-quality Primordial Spirit Stones just to show the way?"

"Slap!"

He moved in a flash, appearing in front of Gao Ling, and slapped him across the face, sending Gao Ling flying three zhang away.

"How dare you toy with this captain!"

Captain Qin glared furiously at Gao Ling.

Completely dumbfounded, Gao Ling didn’t understand who exactly Lord Zhang was, to say a single word and have Captain Qin move against him.

"Bring Gao Ling back for interrogation, I’ll do it personally!"

Captain Qin said coldly.

To rise to the rank of Captain in the City Guard Army requires not only background and strength but also the ability to read situations and people.

Judging by Zhang Yan’s demeanor, it was clear he knew Ling Wu.

Since this man had spoken up, how could he not give him face?

"Hold on!"

Zhang Yan spoke indifferently.

"Lord Zhang, what are your orders?"

Captain Qin hurriedly asked with respect.

"Leave this man to me; send him to the Ghost Palace tomorrow."

Zhang Yan said calmly.

"Yes!"

Captain Qin promptly responded.

"What, the Ghost Palace?"

As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, exclamations of surprise rang out.

Many couldn’t help but take several steps back.

Their eyes were filled with extreme fear.

"Captain Qin, save me!"

Gao Ling’s face turned pale as he pleaded with Captain Qin.

Within King City, no one was unaware of what the Ghost Palace was.

That was where the Ghost Guards were!

Any cultivator who entered the Ghost Palace would come out as nothing more than a cripple, stripped of all their cultivation.

Because the Ghost Palace is the place that deprives cultivators of their special physiques!

For cultivators, death is not what is most frightening.

The most terrifying thing is to be alive but without any cultivation left.

And so, the Ghost Palace gradually became the most terrifying name in King City.

Even Captain Qin couldn’t help but reveal a look of fear in his eyes after hearing it.

"Take him back to the barracks, lock him in the death cell, he’ll be sent to the Ghost Palace tomorrow morning."

Captain Qin immediately ordered.

"Yes."

Several City Guard Army members immediately approached, sealed Gao Ling’s Spiritual Power within his body, and dragged him towards the barracks.

"Ah, Captain Qin, thank you for your trouble."

Zhang Yan said indifferently.

"Lord Zhang, no need for thanks."

Captain Qin replied in haste.

Then he turned to Ling Chen with a slight bow, "Young Master, I apologize for almost having you wrongfully accused. Fortunately, Lord Zhang, with his discerning eyes, saw through Gao Ling’s tricks at a glance."

"Mm."

Ling Chen nodded gently.

Since the chief culprit Gao Ling had been captured, Ling Chen didn’t press the matter further.

After all, Captain Qin was a member of the Qin Family.

With his current strength, it wasn’t prudent to antagonize the Qin Family.

"Lord Zhang, I’ll go handle Gao Ling’s matter now."

Captain Qin bowed once more to Zhang Yan before leaving.

"Many thanks, Lord Zhang, for your timely rescue."

Ling Chen smiled at Zhang Yan.

"You’re welcome."

Zhang Yan replied with a smile.

Ling Chen was a student of the Star Academic Palace, and just revealing his identity would have been enough to turn the situation around for him.

But, he chose not to disclose it.

This gave Zhang Yan the opportunity to act.

Getting a favor from a talented student of the Star Academic Palace could be greatly beneficial for him in the future.

After introducing the three, including Ling Wu, they found a tavern in the southern market and started chatting.

"Lord Zhang, what place is this Ghost Palace?"

Ling Chen asked.

He was not aware.

But seeing everyone else’s reaction to the mention of the Ghost Palace, he knew it must be a terrifying place.

Zhang Yan glanced around, set up a soundproof barrier, and then said with a smile, "The Ghost Palace is the most terrifying place."

"Do you know that a few years ago, our Great Xia’s legal system was revised, abolishing the death penalty?"

Zhang Yan asked.

"Not aware."

Ling Chen shook his head.

"Put it this way, the Ghost Palace is a place more dreadful than death; it can make life worse than death."

Zhang Yan said.
