Chapter 722: Episode 356: Fang Qingshu is cornered! Expelling his own mother!

A crisp snap echoed as Fang Qingshu’s arm bone was smashed to pieces.

The complexion of everyone present twitched violently. Especially Fu Lingxi, whose delicate body almost shivered slightly.

The sixteen Judges, and also the Judgement Knight Order present, jolted fiercely.

On the contrary, Fang Qingshu just had his facial muscles twitch violently without uttering a sound. His handsome face was completely drained of blood, and his eyes almost seemed to spit fire.

Continuing the pursuit of Yan Nai’er had now become utterly impossible. With the signature protection medallion from Priest Gu Ban of the Sky, it was almost equivalent to a medallion of immunity from death.

With Fang Qingshu’s authority, he was now powerless to arrest Yan Nai’er.

Moreover, he couldn’t even focus on capturing Yan Nai’er anymore. He had to hurry back and put out fires to protect himself; otherwise, the consequences were unimaginable.

Gazing into Suo Lun’s eyes, Fang Qingshu said word by word, "Suo Lun, I will forever remember everything that has happened today. I shall return it tenfold, a hundredfold in the future!"

Then, Fang Qingshu leaped onto his warhorse and shouted loudly, "Move out!"

The sixteen Judges and five hundred Judgement Knights mounted their warhorses neatly, then disappeared as quickly as the tide recedes.

The onlooking crowd was visibly shaken, as if they had not yet processed what had happened.

Son of the Dragon Temple, Fang Qingshu, came with a towering presence, bearing an arrest warrant signed by Luo Ge and Ge Li intending to capture, and everyone thought that Yan Nai’er had no chance to escape this time, and Suo Lun would surely be implicated.

Everyone knew this was a counterstrike by Shaojun Qili, sharp and nearly fatal!

But no one could have anticipated such an outcome—Fang Qingshu not only left with his tail between his legs, but had his arms broken on the spot.

The result was even more shocking. Not even the Dragon Temple could do anything to Suo Lun.

...

"Disperse!" Suo Lun commanded loudly.

Instantly, the onlooking crowd trembled violently, then dispersed rapidly.

Indeed, since becoming the Lord of Tianshui City, Suo Lun’s treatment of the populace had always been harsh and unapproachable, never showing a hint of warmth.

This was unlike Suo Long, and also unlike Suo Hanyi.

Earl Suo Long was solemn and warmhearted, while Suo Hanyi was friendly and passionate.

Even so, Suo Lun still maintained a very good reputation in Tianshui City; people both respected and feared him.

Respect came because Suo Lun levied very low taxes, and whether it was building the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, constructing armament workshops, or conscripting civilians during wars, he always offered generous payments without any delay.

Ever since Suo Lun became Lord of Tianshui City, the living standards in his five hundred miles of territory nearly doubled.

The fear was self-explanatory—Suo Lun’s attitude towards the people was indifferent, and he was never soft-handed when it came to killing.

...

"Husband, actually you shouldn’t have broken both of his arms. It doesn’t leave Luo Ge and Ge Li with much dignity and completely offends Yin Zhou," Zhi Yan said to him in a low voice.

Suo Lun nodded, he knew that breaking Fang Qingshu’s arms was not the most rational move.

But he couldn’t help it; hearing the vicious words against Yan Nai’er and Gui Qinshao from Fang Qingshu’s mouth, he couldn’t suppress the fury in his heart.

"I wasn’t rational enough, but if I had to do it again, I would still do the same," Suo Lun said. "From now on, we will do our utmost to recover the situation!"

Zhi Yan nodded.

At that moment, Gui Qinshao stepped forward, wrapped her arms proudly around Suo Lun’s, and said, "Husband, you really should have broken both of Fang Qingshu’s legs too, to let the world see that we are not to be trifled with. Even Qili was beaten to a sorry state by you, let alone some Fang Qingshu."

Hearing her words, Suo Lun was speechless, but it was not appropriate to explain anything to her. Instead, he affectionately pinched her little nose.

What Gui Qinshao did not know was that the reason why Suo Lun could break Fang Qingshu’s arms and lay a huge trap for him was entirely because he was exploiting the power struggle within the higher echelons of the Dragon Temple.

How did Suo Lun obtain the signature golden medallion from Priest Gu Ban of the Sky? On the surface, he had won it in a game of chess with Huai Bingyi.

But the true reason was a bit more complicated.

Last time, Priest Gu Ban of the Sky personally came to Zhi Du Sanctuary to take charge in the capture of Hell Knight Ashi Luo, and from there to capture the master of the demon star, the World-Ending Demon Emperor.

This capture mission was jointly conducted by the Rage Wave Kingdom’s Dragon Temple and the Tribunal.

However, the whole operation could be described as a failure.

Because Ashi Luo chose to commit suicide at the last moment, eliminating completely the lead to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor.

Therefore, Priest Gu Ban of the Sky harbored dissatisfaction toward Luo Ge and Ge Li.

After the operation ended, Holy Maiden Ji Xiuning returned to the Sky Holy Temple to report, and she strongly expressed her dissatisfaction with Chief Judge Luo Ge and Holy Priest Ge Li.

After capturing Ashi Luo, the Dragon Temple had used the lives of the Ashi Liren and Ashi Yuanba to threaten Ashi Luo, coercing him to hand over the tear of the devil.

This was something Ji Xiuning strongly opposed, believing it completely violated the righteousness and sacred nature of the Dragon Temple.

She felt it was precisely because of this that Ashi Luo, in the final moment, affirmed his belief in the demons and chose to die tragically, using his life to protect the World-Ending Demon Emperor, resulting in the only lead to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor being severed.

Therefore, Ji Xiuning strongly recommended punishing Luo Ge and Ge Li.

However, Ji Xiuning was still only the Holy Maiden, the future Priest of the Sky. Her suggestions were not implemented.
