"Don't think that being the commander who has a higher rank than others will let you be able to act superior to others. In this world, only strength will make you stand above others. Remember!!!"

Thump!!! Thump!!!

Boom!!! Boom!!!

"Commanders!!?"

At the end of Zheng-Fu's words, the figures of the two commanders who had spoken insultingly to Zheng-Fu earlier suddenly floated and crashed into the nearby buildings and walls. They both coughed up blood, and many of their ribs were broken.

"Commander Ming-Ge-Dian!?"

"Commander Yong-Xi-Gui!?"

Seeing the two commanders, who were like pillars of military force, being dealt with in the blink of an eye. Fear immediately overwhelmed the nobles and the two princes, as well as the Third Wang (*note: from this chapter on, the Third Prince, or the king's brother, will be called Wang instead of a prince to prevent misunderstanding).

Everyone knew how strong they were, but they were tackled by this young man in the blink of an eye. Moreover, no one knew when and how he took action. As far as everyone knew, there was only the psychic killing and the pressure that was released for a moment.

Even Lu-Song-Xi had to shed a cold sweat on his forehead because even he, who was an Immortal stage skilled master, could not stand the pressure just now.

Augh!!!

As for the Grand Prince, who just thought that he would find a way to teach Zheng-Fu later, he completely lost those thoughts when he saw the two commanders who were his masters being easily dealt with. Even if his level was higher than the two commanders, it was not that he would be able to defeat both of them so easily, even though they were not prepared.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, please calm down first. What happened?" the Third Wang was the first to speak politely to Zheng-Fu. He knew exactly what to say.

"Your Highness, this is a warm welcome for my people, as you said!?" Zheng-Fu turned to ask the Third Wang with a cold voice.

Ah!!!

"I... I..."

The Third Wang was speechless. He had never thought that the soldier who was being strangled would commit such a wicked act against Zheng-Fu's comrades. Although he had already commanded the guards to take good care of Bao-Jin's people, still, an incident like this had happened.

"The whole matter is not the fault of Your Highness, Young Master. All because of that bastard alone. We had referred to the Third Wang, but he refused to listen and used his power to oppress us. He looked down on us, calling us countrymen. In addition, he also thought of doing bad things to Junior Bao-Bao."

The voice of a young man in Bao-Jin's group, who could still stand, spoke angrily when talking about the guard who had attacked them. He also explained that the Third Wang was not involved in any way. It was because this guard of the Third Wang acted by himself without caring about anyone.

"That's right. His Highness has ordered his followers to bring us here. But that bastard came to change shifts with the guards of His Highness before the incident," Bao-Jin added, saying that, actually, this guard was not the Third Wang's soldier but was a soldier under another affiliation that was sent to change the shifts.

"Is that a soldier under the Second Wang?" Suddenly, Commander Guan-Yang-Sen's voice rang out when he saw that soldier's affiliate badge.

The Second Wang's soldier!?

Hearing Guan-Yang-Sen's words, everyone's faces immediately showed shock. Even Lu-Song-Xi and the Third Wang looked stunned as well.

"Then why are the people of the Second Wang here?" Zheng-Fu immediately asked, realizing that they were not the Third Wang's people. So why did they come here? The only person who could answer this question was another guard who tried to stop this guard.

"Just... just... we've just been told to come here, sir. But when we arrived and changed the shifts, suddenly, he acted strangely, not being himself until this incident... happened," a middle-aged man who had come to change the shifts of guard immediately explained in a stuttering voice.

Acted strangely!?

"Are you going to say that this bastard is possessed by a ghost or something? Something like that would..."

[The Buddha Mantra: Mantra Two: Soul Cleansing]

"Om Khajamamaru Phapangpai. Destroy all the devils in your mind..."

Aaaah!!! Aaaah!!!

Tormented and howling cries rang out as Zheng-Fu applied the Buddha Prayer: The Second Chant: Purify the Mind, which was able to remove the dark energy within a person's body or mind, to the guard he was strangling.

Ki!!! Ki!!! Ki!!!

Not long after he let out a cry, the dark energy or dark Qi energy within the guard's body gradually evaporated and formed above his head a demonic face, with eerie cries coming from that face before it dissipated into the air.

"Tha... that... that's a... a ghost. He was really possessed by a ghost!"

"Where's the ghost? It's dark energy!"

"Ah, really? But it's good that he can get rid of it!!"

"Yes, that's really lucky. But how did he do that to expel... aaah!!!"

When everyone had regained consciousness, every face showed more and more frightened expressions. They could not find any words to describe what was happening right now. No matter what it was, it was very difficult to believe.

"Actually, this is how it is!!!" Zheng-Fu said with a look of understanding. He turned to look at Lu-Song-Xi and the Third Wang and said, "I'm sorry for being too harsh. I'll be responsible for all the damages incurred, but... since my people are hurt as well, the matter we're going to discuss, I'll cancel," Zheng-Fu said with a calm expression, and his face was still and cold.

"Tha… that matter..." the Third Wang seemed to want to say something, but when he thought about what had happened, he had to swallow his own words back.

"How are you guys?" After Zheng-Fu announced that he would be liable for the damages himself, he turned back to Bao-Jin's group and asked about their condition, ignoring Lu-Song-Xi, the Third Wang, or anyone else.

"My sister and I are not affected much. But the others..."

"Hmm... I understood. You have to get this medicine and give it to others to eat. It will help restore and heal the wounds faster," Zheng-Fu immediately cut off Bao-Jin, took out the medicine vial from his dimensional ring, and handed it to Bao-Jin.

"Thank you, Young Master!!!"

Um...

"Well, now let's move on to our issue... As for the damage this time, I'll pay for it with the four elemental spiritual stones that are the size of a thumb, exactly twenty-five of each elemental, for a total of one hundred. How does Your Majesty think?"

After handing the pills to Bao-Jin, Zheng-Fu turned to Lu-Song-Xi and his people, who were standing speechless, and offered compensation for damages.

"Fou... Four... four elemental spiritual stones!"

"It's the size of a thumb!"

"One hundred lumps in total!"

Voices filled with shock suddenly rang out with the stunned faces of the nobles and high-ranking officers, including the two princes and the princess. They froze until almost unconscious upon hearing the compensation incurred because the price of the elemental spiritual stone was not cheap at all; just one piece was already very high.

But the Third Wang and Guan-Yang-Sen did not show any surprised or shocked expressions; they already knew that Zheng-Fu had the stones with him because of his master, as he had announced in the auction house at In-See City.

"There's no need for compensation. We're at fault for allowing this to happen. And it should be us rather than you to pay compensation," Lu-Song-Xi hurriedly regained his composure before speaking out about the compensation Zheng-Fu offered.

"Your Majesty!?"

"That is one hundred spiritual stones, sir!!!" a nobleman's voice sounded with a greedy expression on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty... The total number of one hundred elemental spiritual stones will greatly strengthen us!!!"

After that, the voices of high-ranking officers and nobles continued to rise, trying to convince Lu-Song-Xi to change his mind. There were only two great commanders, the Third Wang, the Princes, and Princess, who did not say anything.

"Shut your mouth!!! I've decided not to take anything from him because it's all our fault for letting such an incident happen. Therefore, we must be responsible for all of this!" Lu-Song-Xi let out a roar as his pressure pressed on the nobles who were shouting to silence them, along with a strong declaration about taking responsibility for what happened.

When Lu-Song-Xi finished speaking, he turned to Zheng-Fu, calm and cool, before speaking, "Young Master Zheng-Fu, I must apologize to you for allowing such a thing to happen, and I do not ask for any compensation from you. I'll pay the compensation to you." He bowed down to show his sincerity in his apology.

"Your Highness, don't do that. You're the king of this kingdom. You don't have to reduce your honor and dignity to show that kind of gesture to someone like me. I'm just a person from a rural area far from civilization. I don't have..."

"No, this is not any reduction of honor at all, Young Master Zheng-Fu. But I'd like to show sincerity and take responsibility for what the subordinates have done wrong," Lu-Song-Xi interrupted while Zheng-Fu was still unable to finish his words.

"Sincerity? Hmm... I understand now, Your Highness. Then I'll gladly accept it. But even so, what are you going to do about this happening, Your Majesty!?" Zheng-Fu slightly nodded before continuing to ask Lu-Song-Xi.

"That matter... I don't know what to do with this incident, as this is the first time we've encountered such a problem. But you don't have to worry; I'll find the culprit and punish him. But first, I'll need some time because the pressure you released has caused quite a bit of damage to the houses of the people of the outer and central zones," Lu-Song-Xi said with a slightly sad look on his face.

Previously, the situation in the capital city was already bad. Would people still be able to endure it as this incident also happened? And if the villagers in the outer zone migrated, the capital city would no longer be the capital city because of the fewer people and the decline in strength.
