Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 208 My Lifelong Love is Upholding Justice

On the city wall, Su Qing, dressed in silver armor and with two flags on his back, looked like a general on a stage, exuding a dignified and righteous aura.

His stance of standing up for the Wang family no matter who was causing trouble for them today infuriated the entire Wang family.

However, due to his terrifying aura, even though Wang Xing had a blood feud with him for killing his son, he could only stare at him intently, gritting his teeth, but could not utter a single word.

Hu San was also in a daze at this moment.

In terms of friendship, he had no real relationship with Su Qing; she was just a witch puppet, and their business was only worth a few hundred spirit crystals.

It's not worth it for him to stand up for himself.

But since someone has stood up for me, I know what to do.

"If we're talking about bullying, it's the Wang family who bullied us, the rogue cultivators, by using their numbers to oppress us!"

Xiao Dao had clearly stated beforehand that he was not capable of killing the Iron North Bear King, but they insisted on forcing him into it, clearly intending to bully him.

Poor Xiaodao worked hard all day, but not only did he not receive a kind word from the Wang family, they also made him lose all his money, and even wanted him to sell himself to the Wang family!

The poor Taoist priest worked diligently and lived an honest life, yet he had never even held a girl's hand. All because he was forced by the Wang family to kill a demon, he ended up like this.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I have been wronged!"

Hu San raised his face, blurred with blood and tears. His grief was genuine, and his injustice was real. He spoke with heartfelt emotion, and the surrounding cultivators all felt the same way.

It's tough being a rogue cultivator. Sects bully you, and after that, powerful families bully you.

Hu Sanhao, a butcher, had been working in the Lingtian District and on the city wall for many years without ever causing any trouble.

How did things get to this point just because I did a deal with your Wang family?
Those who had always disliked the Wang family's bullying of Hu San, the rogue cultivators, dared not speak out earlier due to the Wang family's power. But now that Su Qing had stepped forward, they all dared to raise their voices and cheer loudly from behind.

"Forcing people to do things is one thing, but wanting to get something for nothing is another, and then making them lose everything!"

"Even going bankrupt isn't enough; they even force people to become their servants!"

"Is this how your Wang family does things? When the Yunshan Sect sends people to be Dao servants, they either buy them or do it secretly. How dare your Wang family do such a thing in broad daylight?"

"Cultivation families are bullying others with their power. Fellow Daoist Hu San, today, or tomorrow, we may be the ones who suffer the same fate. Fellow Daoists, can we stand by and watch?"

"No!"

"His family was robbed last time, but he didn't dare to seek revenge against the robber or demonic cultivator. Instead, he tried to squeeze his losses back from us rogue cultivators. He bullies the weak and fears the strong. He is truly despicable!"

"look down!"

"How can the comrades fighting on the city walls tolerate such a wicked customer who forces people to sell themselves after doing business with him once?"

"We cannot tolerate it!"

Seeing the rogue cultivators getting more and more excited, Wang Xing became furious and urged more than ten dog-headed generals to try to put pressure on them and shut them up.

Unexpectedly, General Doghead had only taken a few steps when he was forced back by Su Qing's monstrous war bears.

Seeing his incompetence, the rogue cultivators shouted even louder.

Su Qing had already understood the situation from Hu San's explanation.

In short, the Wang family wanted to get something for nothing from Hu San, but they were unwilling to pay the slaughter fee for the second-tier spirit butcher. In the end, they tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, suffering even greater losses, and their demon core was damaged by Hu San.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I am well aware of the value of that demon core. I only hope that you can help me negotiate a few things."

"I'll give away all my wealth, even incur some debt, to repay the Wang family, as long as I can keep my reputation intact!"

Hu San cautiously said to Su Qing, "Although I am innocent, it is an indisputable fact that I cut off the demon core myself. My greatest hope is to keep my freedom."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing asked in surprise, "What money do you need to pay, fellow Daoist?"

"Demon core money? Isn't this demon core broken?" Hu San glanced at the demon core that was emitting heat waves, and saw a large horizontal cut that almost killed him.

"His demon core was already corrupted, why are you paying compensation?" Su Qing asked again.

"Ah, it's not broken..."

"Oh no! I went to the place where the battle took place and asked other fellow Daoists. When the Wang family patriarch used a puppet to defeat this demon king, he ruined the demon core!"

"It really wasn't bad, Xiao Dao killed it, he made that cut!"

Hu San was still preoccupied with his own profession and preparing to have a proper discussion with Su Qing when the apprentice behind him tugged at his sleeve, which brought him back to his senses.

"It's broken, that's right. I and my apprentices saw it clearly. That opening was there all along. The Wang family deliberately tricked me. I don't need to pay them any money!" Hu San said excitedly.

“They should give you money, fellow Daoist!” Su Qing added.

"Ah, what money?" Hu San asked again.

"Slaughter fee, the normal rate for slaughtering a second-tier demon beast is one percent? What was the price of the city wall again? Ten percent?" Su Qing asked.

"It's not right to take their money back, is it?" Hu San hesitated.

"If you don't want money, I'll be leaving now!" Su Qing squatted down and talked to Hu San for a long time, but seeing that he still didn't understand, he suddenly stood up and was about to leave.

"Yes! Paying for slaughtering pigs is a matter of course, and the Wang family can't renege on their debt!" Hu San said through gritted teeth.

The two of them sang in unison, causing the Wang family members opposite them to become ashen-faced.

How did I suddenly go from being a creditor to being a debtor?
"Fellow Daoist Su, please be reasonable. This demonic beast was imprisoned for more than half an hour by my clan patriarch at the cost of the annihilation of a Sandstone King Dog."

"You didn't even damage its demon core, how dare you say it was injured before!"

Wang Xing said angrily.

"That doesn't make sense. If the Wang family paid the price of the destruction of a second-tier puppet to obtain this complete second-tier demon core."

Why would you choose a first-tier spirit butcher to deal with this monster? Shouldn't you have chosen a second-tier spirit butcher?
In my humble opinion, this demonic beast's demon core must have been damaged long ago, greatly reducing its value, which is why you were willing to let a first-tier spirit butcher slaughter it!

Su Qing replied casually. He and the Wang family had long been irreconcilable enemies. This family had been holding back for a long time and would do something big sooner or later to destroy him.

While we currently hold the advantage, we should create opportunities to take them down, even if we don't have them now. Now that we have the chance, we should seize it.

"Alas, poor Fellow Daoist Hu San. I once sold him a witch puppet, which he used again and again. Now it has no form left, but he is reluctant to throw it away. He just wants to save some money to buy some pills for cultivation."

You dare bully such a poor person! Even if your Wang family is powerful, I, a humble Daoist, will seek justice for Fellow Daoist Hu San today!

As Su Qing spoke, covered in the blood of the Peng King, he exuded a fierce tiger-like aura, his Vajra energy so tangible that it stung all the Wang family members present.

"Regardless of what you say, fellow Daoist, that second-tier demon core is crucial to my clan patriarch's Foundation Establishment. Now that it's damaged, its value is almost gone. When my clan patriarch returns, we will seek justice!"

Although Wang Xing was feeling uncomfortable under Su Qing's pressure, he was confident because he knew that the clan leader would be returning with the clan members soon. He refused to give an inch.

Su Qing was thinking about the same thing.

With the arrival of the Wang family patriarch, and the presence of a Foundation Establishment disciple from Yunshan within his clan, things became more complicated.

Just as he was about to unleash his power again, forcefully pressing Wang Xing and the others' heads down to get things done.

But then a ray of light shone down outside the city wall.
