Chapter 2849
“Ah …………”
After enduring relentless beating for half a day, Ji Yun was filled with fury upon realizing that no one was intervening. With a roar, he swung his palm fiercely at Kai!
Kai, quick on his feet, swiftly retreated to avoid Ji Yun’s furious strike!
Ji Yun, a formidable opponent at the seventh level of the Combined Body Realm, had unleashed his anger, making his attack particularly potent!
Seeing Kai evade his palm only fueled Ji Yun’s rage further as he leapt into the air, aiming directly for Kai!
However, just as Ji Yun launched himself, he felt a sudden, overwhelming force pinning him down. Lord Yan had waved his hand, immobilizing Ji Yun in an instant!
“How dare you act like this in my presence?” Lord Yan thundered, his voice ringing with authority!
“Lord Yan, it was Kai who attacked me first, as you can see.”
Ji Yun retorted, seething with anger!
“I witnessed it all; he struck you and broke the rules of Jialing County, so I will certainly punish him.”
“Moreover, your retaliation counts as mutual assault, meaning both of you are subject to punishment!”
Ji Yun, hearing this, quickly protested, “Lord Yan, it was Kai who instigated the fight! If I hadn’t fought back, I could have been killed.”
“I was merely defending myself, it was justifiable defense ……”
“There’s no such thing as self-defense here; your retaliation constitutes mutual assault. There’s no room for negotiation. However, since you were attacked first, your punishment will be light, while Kai’s will be severe.”
Lord Yan declared!
Upon hearing this, Ji Yun felt slightly relieved, but he cast a cold glare at Kai, warning, “Kai, don’t be reckless. You dared to act in front of Lord Yan; just wait to see the consequences!”
Kai, however, remained unfazed, wearing a cold smile on his face!
“Kai, you have violated Jialing County’s rules by engaging in a public fight. I believe you should be punished accordingly. You have half a day to leave Jialing County; if you fail to do so, I will have you taken to the water prison!”
Lord Yan addressed Kai with a serious demeanor!
“No problem!” Kai replied, nodding confidently!
Initially, Kai had already planned to leave Jialing County; half a day was sufficient time!
However, Ji Yun was left stunned by the severity of the punishment, looking at Lord Yan in disbelief. “Lord Yan, is this really a severe punishment?”
“What? Do you find it inappropriate?” Lord Yan inquired!
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant.” Ji Yun hurriedly shook his head, “What will be my punishment, then?”
“You will face a light punishment of a fine of 100 million spirit coins, and you will not be expelled from Jialing County!”
Lord Yan stated nonchalantly!
“A fine of one hundred million spirit coins?” Ji Yun’s anger boiled over at this revelation!
This was hardly a lenient punishment; in fact, it was even harsher than Kai’s penalty!
Nonetheless, Ji Yun dared not voice his objections; after all, he was on foreign ground in Jialing County!
“What? Do you think this is too light?” Lord Yan pressed!
“No, no, no, it’s quite a significant amount, indeed ……” Ji Yun quickly shook his head, urging Shi Tieqiao to arrange the payment of the fine of 100 million spirit coins!
While 100 million spirit coins meant little to the Flying Heavenly Clan, which thrived on business and wealth, Ji Yun felt a deep discomfort at this unjust punishment!
To Ji Yun’s dismay, the situation took an even more uncomfortable turn!
After collecting the fine, Lord Yan shockingly tossed the 100 million spirit coins directly to Kai.
“Here’s the 100 million spirit coins you borrowed; keep it for yourself ……”
Lord Yan said as he nonchalantly tossed the coins to Kai!
“Thank you, Lord Yan!” Kai replied with a smile, happily accepting the spirit coins!
Pfft …………
The sight was enough to make Ji Yun so furious that he almost spat blood, yet he dared not utter a word.
“Let me remind you, anyone who engages in private fighting again will face severe consequences!”
With that, Lord Yan vanished in a flash!
A few guards left in haste, while others stared at Kai in astonishment!
It was clear, even to the blind, that Lord Yan favored Kai!
