Chapter 831: Beast Head Manifestation

Liu Jie's words made Du Shuo abruptly snap his head up.
"Uncle Zuo, it's not that serious. I just don't want that person lying on the floor to appear at the Guard Ye Banquet."
Liu Jie was not a wicked person and did not even care about the disrespectful way that Du Shuo had just spoken to him.
However, he would not spare anyone who pointed at Lin Yuan insultingly because it not only violated his duty as a retainer knight but also trampled on his faith.
As long as it concerned Lin Yuan's pride and Liu Jie's faith, Liu Jie would sacrifice his life at any time, any place, and no matter who it was in front of him.
Liu Jie, who had been rescued by Lin Yuan and had been by his side all this time, knew what consequences awaited Miao Zhuo if he was tossed out of the Midnight Palace.
However, he refused to go easy on Miao Zhuo.
This was Liu Jie's determination.
Zuo Ming was already boiling with rage and had already decided to use the new batch of Sin Cleansing Weeping Willows to teach these people who had insulted Liu Jie a lesson.
But after he heard what Liu Jie said, Zuo Ming paused for a moment before smiling in resignation.
Why would someone who was willing to stand up in the face of a disaster bother with a few words of disrespect?
Despite gaining a status almost akin to royalty, Liu Jie's character was unchanged.
Naturally, Zuo Ming would not act against Liu Jie's virtuous character.
"Then, it shall be done as you said, Young Liege."
Zuo Ming's gaze flew to Du Shuo, Fang He, Qi Haitao, Zheng Kaiyuan, and the disciples of the veteran and top factions who were standing nearby and barked, "Thanks to the kindness of Young Liege, all of you are saved from repenting under the Sin Cleansing Weeping Willows.
"Usually, outsiders aren't allowed to enter the Midnight Palace, but the Guard Ye Banquet is being held to celebrate Young Liege. Do not forget the manners imparted on you by your elders. If you cautious elders find out that you've slighted Young Liege, it won't be me who you'll be receiving punishment from. Your elders will drag you to the Sin Cleansing Pool themselves."
Zuo Ming's words caused shivers to go up the spines of everyone present, and the disciples of veteran and top factions who were standing slightly closer to Miao Zhuo felt a streak of terror shoot through their veins.
We're innocent! All we did was stand a bit nearer so we could get a better look at the action!
But Zuo Ming's gaze made the gawkers feel as though they had participated in the commotion.
From the rumors surrounding Zuo Ming, it was possible that those people who were only guilty of standing slightly nearer to Miao Zhuo could have also been punished.
The people who had not participated in the commotion looked at Liu Jie with respect and extreme gratitude.
They also looked at the fallen Miao Zhuo with disgust and hate.
Many of them were cursing Miao Zhuo to themselves.
It's all your fault! I was almost locked up in the Sin Cleansing Pool!
After spending one night under the Sin Cleansing Weeping Willows, one would still have to spend five years in recuperation, and that was if they survived the night.
Five years were far too precious for everyone present.
Not every top and veteran faction was like the Gao family, the Long family, or the Sea Bliss Clan.
Many of the younger generation of disciples of veteran and top factions had around five or six direct descendants.
Those who were chosen to attend the Guard Ye Banquet were the favored disciples.
But if Zuo Ming punished them, their position in the faction would plunge precipitously. If they had to spend another five years recuperating, they would never be able to make a comeback.
Du Shuo held Fang He's hands tightly. Fang He subtly signaled to Du Shuo, and they turned to Liu Jie together to bow to him and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
Du Shuo and Fang He's words were like a prompt, after which the people present started to echo their words of thanks toward Liu Jie.
Zuo Ming had arrived in time to hear what Du Shuo had said to Liu Jie.
Even if Liu Jie had said to let Du Shuo go, Zuo Ming had planned on teaching Du Shuo a good lesson later on.
But now that Du Shuo seemed to understand the situation, Zuo Ming decided not to cause trouble for Furnace Stone Metal.
With everyone's gazes on him and thanking him, Liu Jie did not react. Instead, he said, "Let the person on the floor be an example. I hope no one makes the same mistake of pointing at Lin Yuan in a similar manner again."
Liu Jie's words shifted the attention onto Lin Yuan.
Ever since Zuo Ming bowed, the crowd had been guessing about Lin Yuan's identity.
Zuo Ming stretched out his hand, and the spiritual power that flowed from his palm plucked Miao Zhuo from the ground like a ragdoll.
Zuo Ming disappeared from the area outside the Midnight Palace in a flash and reappeared in front of an enormous snakehead in Beast Head Forest.
The moment Zuo Ming's feet touched the ground, the snake came to life and turned into a giant eight-meter-long python.
Zuo Ming said to the giant python, "Old Gang, this fellow crossed Young Liege, Drag him to the Sin Cleansing Pool for me, and some people from Connected Beast Park will collect him later."
A look of hostility came over the giant python.
Shortly after, it seemed as though all the beast heads in Beast Head Forest were coming to life as Old Gang said in a raspy voice, "Someone actually crossed someone as nice as Young Liege, and in the Midnight Palace on top of it. Apparently, the Miao family has a third thearch-class expert this year. It looks like Connected Beast Park is thriving."
Zuo Ming's unassuming face had been cold, but he rolled his eyes when he heard what Old Gang said.
"Old Gang, stop making this about combat power. Even if the Miao family had 100 thearch-class experts, they wouldn't dare to disrespect Lordess Chief Guard. The person leading the Miao family at the Guard Ye Banquet is Miao Qi.
"I wonder if Miao Qi is actually stupid or if the Miao family really has such intentions. Lord Bamboo Monarch is horrible at rejecting women. I heard You Zhe say that Lanya Pavilion had not intended on attending the Guard Ye Banquet, but word was just received that they have already arrived inside the palace."
