Chapter 721: Chapter 721: All Settled

Peter Brown and Kit Nelson and others were taken to the County Office.

By this time, many people who knew about the situation had gathered at the County Office, wanting to see what was going on with this fierce Academy disciple.

Peter seemed calm, but he had secretly prepared all kinds of defenses, knowing that this was his first test in the Cultivation World, and it wouldn’t be easy to pass.

Of course, after guessing some of the conflicts between the County Magistrate and the elders, Peter was now wondering if his guess was correct.

Upon entering the County Office, Peter instantly saw Ian Shore, the County Magistrate, sitting high on his throne, as well as ten powerful experts seated on either side of him.

"Are you Peter Brown?" Ian Shore cast his gaze over Peter, feeling genuinely curious about him.

"Replying to the Honorable Magistrate, I am the disciple Peter Brown."

Peter respectfully saluted.

"I heard you injured your classmates in the Academy, is that true?"

"That’s right." Peter didn’t deny it, but admitted it directly.

"Since you admit it, I will strip you of your official student status and punish you as a chore disciple!"

A middle-aged man who looked very similar to Kit Nelson coldly looked at Peter and said that.

At this moment, Ian Shore asked, "Peter Brown, what do you have to say about this punishment?"

It was apparent that Ian Shore had given Peter a chance to defend himself.

At this point, Peter felt even more relieved, knowing that his guess had been right. Since that was the case, there was no need to escape today, and it was better to argue his case well.

"Honorable Magistrate, I believe I am not at fault in this matter."

"Oh, tell me about it then."

Peter then recounted the conversation he had with those Golden Core experts, and after finishing, he said, "I believe that rules are essential. Now, it’s not about whether I’m right or wrong in beating them, but about checking the Academy’s management. Since only those with free access are allowed to enter Skyreach Mountain, why would there be instances of teleportation formations being used at will? Moreover, their disregard for Sect Rules after entering Skyreach Mountain, indiscriminately attacking fellow Academy students, isn’t that a violation of the Rules? Also, I don’t know if they’re hiding in the Academy, trying to sabotage the Spirit Field and steal Academy property."

After a series of counter-questions, Peter stood there.

The County Office suddenly became quiet, and the shock caused by Peter’s words couldn’t be underestimated.

"You dare to talk nonsense!"

That elder who looked like Kit Nelson scolded in a low voice, even louder, "For someone who talks so irresponsibly, I suggest not only should we strip him of his Academy student status, but also severely punish him, cripple his Elixir Sea!"

Peter looked at him and said, "My lord, isn’t the Academy a place to uphold the law? Can you tell me what’s wrong with what I said to make you so agitated?"

"You!"

The man pointed at Peter, seemingly about to attack.

Peter spurred the True Qi in his body, strengthening his defense further.

However, at this moment, Ian Shore spoke, sternly saying, "Indeed, I think Peter Brown’s words make sense. Our Academy has rules, and ordinary people cannot enter freely without a Token. Why could Kit Nelson and the others come and go freely, and even attack the guardian of a Spirit Field!"

At this point, Ian Shore’s aura surged as he looked at the elder who resembled Kit Nelson and said, "Zariah Nelson, I need you to explain your son’s freedom to enter and exit."

Zariah’s expression changed slightly at this moment, "I’m not too sure about the children’s matters, but this time, I asked them to find some Lingcao for me."

Ian Shore said, "Looking for Lingcao requires attacking a new disciple, don’t tell me I don’t know the situation, your son must be retaliating against Peter Brown for Juliett Dunhill’s death, right? Hmph, five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were actually cleaned up by a Qi Refining Eleventh Layer cultivator. I’m embarrassed to mention this, but I wonder if it embarrasses you all as well."

The topic suddenly shifted to this matter, and everyone felt their faces flush.

In fact, everyone understood that Peter Brown had not been ruthless in dealing with Kit Nelson and the others. He had not crippled them, whereas they had gone to find trouble with Peter, which in itself was a mistake. Ian Shore’s words made it seem like Foundation Establishment cultivators were bullying the newcomer, and if this matter got out, it would be a disgraceful act indeed.

Zariah, who had wanted to speak at first, thought of his son and the others, and his face really couldn’t hang on anymore, so he just snorted.

At this moment, Ian Shore looked at Peter Brown and said, "Peter Brown, you are not at fault in this matter. Protecting the Spirit Field is your responsibility. As long as those who enter without a Token, you can kill them. In the future, if anyone enters without a Token, kill them directly."

"Thank you, Honorable Magistrate!"

Peter knew he was truly safe and saluted with a clenched fist.

Then Ian Shore said, "The question Peter Brown just raised makes a lot of sense. It seems there is a problem with our management. The Deacon in charge of guarding the teleportation formation has been negligent in his duties. In my opinion, we should replace him. After all, our county’s situation is complicated, and we need responsible people to manage it."

"The Honorable Magistrate’s words make a lot of sense, I support it."

"Yes, I support it too."

"It’s time for a change."

The elders didn’t seem to be all on the same page, and some quickly voiced their support for Ian Shore’s proposal.

"Alright, we’ll do as suggested. As for Kit Nelson and the others, they need to be punished. Not only were they Foundation Establishment stage cultivators bullying a new disciple, they even lost. We have such disciples in our Academy, Zariah Nelson, I suggest you let them go into closed-door cultivation for a while, don’t disgrace our county."

After speaking, Ian Shore looked at Peter Brown and asked, "You’re pretty good. Did you refine the Poison Pill yourself?"

"Replying to the magistrate, I refined it myself."

"You know Alchemy too?"

"I know a little."

Ian Shore laughed and said, "Nice, very good, do your job well. Skyreach Mountain is not peaceful, you have to pay more attention to it."

"Please rest assured, Honorable Magistrate, I will do my job well."

The seemingly huge matter was resolved just like that. When Peter Brown looked at Zariah Nelson, he saw his gloomy face and sensed the murderous intent in his eyes, knowing that he had only passed the first test, and Zariah Nelson might target him next.

However, seeing the County Magistrate on his side, Peter Brown wasn’t too worried that the development of the situation would be unfavorable to him.
