Outside the Zheng family courtyard.
"You... why didn't you tell me you were delivering a summons...?"
Su Qing regretted it so much her intestines had turned green.
First they had wiped out the Chimen Society, and now they had come to deliver Zheng Dongming a summons. Wasn't this just rubbing salt into the Zheng family's wounds?
"You didn't ask. Besides, what else could I deliver them? A clock?"
As he spoke, Chu Sheng glanced at the time.
"Five minutes are almost up. If nobody comes out, I'm going in to find them."
That was required by law-enforcement regulations.
Upon hearing this, the two Zheng family guards thought they had misheard.
Then they stepped aside, wearing mocking smiles.
"If you're not afraid of dying, go in and give it a try."
What place was this?
This was the Zheng family, guarded by two True Essence Realm experts!
How dare a mere Bronze Patrol come here and run wild?
Unexpectedly, before the guard had even finished speaking.
Chu Sheng actually strode straight inside.
The two guards instantly faced a formidable enemy and drew the long blades at their waists.
Just then.
Chu Sheng suddenly stopped. The two men thought he had gotten scared.
But when they turned their heads, they saw someone walking out from the courtyard.
Not only Chu Sheng—even Li Bin, who had come out of the Zheng family, froze.
The one delivering the summons was actually Chu Sheng!?
This... this wouldn't be easy to fool his way through... However, he quickly realized that fooling him was secondary. This was a perfect chance for revenge!
If he could force Chu Sheng to make a move here! Then Chu Sheng would be finished!!
At that thought, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a few traces of smugness appeared between his brows.
You had connections, sure—but now I had connections too.
Walking up to Chu Sheng, Li Bin lifted his chin slightly.
In those few short seconds, an entire plan to force Chu Sheng into attacking had already taken shape in his mind!
Yet before he could speak, Chu Sheng suddenly threw a punch.
A zero-frame opening, and incredibly fast. Li Bin had no time to react.
Only after that punch smashed him to the ground did Li Bin's mind remain in a daze.
That punch also startled the two guards and Su Qing behind them. No one had expected Chu Sheng to knock the man down without even giving him a chance to speak.
Chu Sheng looked down at Li Bin on the ground, his voice icy.
"This is already the third time."
"I think you little bastard really want to die!"
There was no need to think about why he was here. He had definitely thrown in his lot with the Zheng family.
In Chu Sheng's eyes, that went beyond merely being a scumbag.

Li Bin scrambled to his feet furiously. "Chu Sheng, you actually dare hit me!? I'm working for the Zheng family now!"
"So what?"
"You're a member of the Jingwu Bureau, yet you beat someone in public. Do you think you'll get away with it? I'll strip that uniform right off you!"
Chu Sheng chuckled. "Idiot, aren't you also from the Jingwu Bureau? At most, this counts as an internal conflict. Just write a self-criticism and it's done."
"I already resigned!!"
"You think you can resign from the Jingwu Bureau just because you say so? Did you submit the application? Did the director approve it?"
Then Chu Sheng checked the time. The stipulated five-minute waiting period had long since passed, so he could go in and find the person directly!
Pushing aside Li Bin, who was still dumbfounded, Chu Sheng strode inside.
"What are you trying to do!?"
The two guards came to their senses and hurriedly raised their blades to block Chu Sheng.
"Do you know what this behavior is called?"
"Obstructing official duty!"
"I'm giving you one warning now. The second time, I'll act directly..."
The two guards sneered. After guarding the Zheng family for so many years, this was the first time they had seen someone this arrogant.
"If you dare make a move here and still leave alive, I'll take your surname!"
Before the guard had finished speaking, a streak of lightning suddenly flashed.
Then terrifying thunder descended.
Boom—
The deafening sound alerted everyone in the Zheng family, and even several nearby households were drawn by the commotion.
The Zheng family members rushed out of their rooms. When they saw the lightning raging near the courtyard entrance, they were all dumbstruck.
Even those who knew someone had come to deliver a summons were too shocked to speak.
"They... they started fighting!?"
"What kind of martial technique is this? How can it be so terrifying...?"
"Could it be that a True Essence Realm expert has come to cause trouble?"
Everyone hurried outside.
But they were stunned to see that the Zheng family's main gate, along with the surrounding courtyard wall, had been blasted away completely!!
The three people on the ground had all been left with only a single breath.
Only a black-haired youth stood proudly, lightning fragments swirling around him.

The youth turned to look at the crowd, his gaze calm.
"Who is Zheng Dongming? Here is your summons. Report to the Jingwu Bureau at eight tomorrow morning for interrogation!"
Zheng Dongming said with a grim expression, "Who are you!? How dare you cause trouble at my Zheng family!?"
"Chu Sheng. As for the trouble you mentioned, I think you may have misunderstood something. They obstructed official duty, so I could only administer a slight punishment. Everything was lawful and compliant."
Upon hearing that, everyone in the Zheng family widened their eyes.
This youth was Chu Sheng! He still dared to come to the Zheng family!?
"What an animal! You actually dare cause trouble at my Zheng family—take this!"
A young-looking girl charged out from the crowd, sword in hand as she stabbed at Chu Sheng.
"Don't!!!"
Zheng Dongming hurried forward to stop her, but he was still a step too late.
With a casual slap, Chu Sheng sent the girl flying backward, vomiting blood.
Seeing how young she was, Chu Sheng had thought she was some kind of genius.
But she was only at Opening Meridian Double Layer, an entire major realm below him.
Chu Sheng dusted the dirt from his clothes. "Has she always been this brave?"
"Impudent!" Zheng Dongming roared. "First you injured my guards, then you injured a junior of my Zheng family. Do you really think I don't dare kill you!?"
Chu Sheng bared his teeth. It was time for his favorite legal-education segment again.
"Legal illiterate!"
"See this uniform I'm wearing? She attempted to assassinate a Jingwu Bureau law-enforcement officer. Don't think that slap settles things—I'll be taking her back to the Jingwu Bureau later."
"Preliminarily, she'll get three years."
"Oh, and you too. What you just said already constitutes threatening and intimidating a law-enforcement officer. Fortunately, the circumstances aren't too serious. Since I'm kind-hearted, I won't pursue it with you."

"Shut up!!"
Powerful energy surged around Zheng Dongming as the terrifying pressure of True Essence Realm Level Two descended instantly.
Chu Sheng grinned, an excited smile spreading across his face.
A True Essence Realm expert, and one who had committed countless evil deeds at that. Thinking about it made him feel a little expectant.
But just then, a dignified voice exploded through the air.
"Stop!"
Zheng Dongming froze on the spot.
"Father."
Zheng Jun slowly walked forward.
"Accept the summons. And let him take Xiaoyu away."
"Don't let outsiders laugh at us."
Only then did Zheng Dongming come to his senses.
Killing Chu Sheng would be easy, but the repercussions would be enormous.
That huge commotion just now had definitely drawn plenty of attention.
Who knew how many pairs of eyes outside were watching the Zheng family?
Seeing the anger vanish from Zheng Dongming's face in an instant.
Chu Sheng inwardly cursed his bad luck.
The old fox really was hard to deal with.
It was impossible to drag the Zheng family into the mud so easily.
Picking up Zheng Xiaoyu, Chu Sheng strode away beneath the furious glares of the Zheng family.
At the same time, he did not forget to remind them.
"Don't forget to report to the Jingwu Bureau on time tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I'll have to forcibly summon you according to the law."
As he passed the two guards.
Chu Sheng grinned and said.
"This lord's surname is Chu. Don't forget..."
