《The Glory After Rebirth》C18. The Judgement
Advertisement
Zhang Chong kicked with great strength, and Jia Yuanling was kicked off into the air and knocked against the pillar in the court immediately!
The blood he spitted spilled everywhere. Jia Yuanling couldn’t believe Zhang Chong would treat him this way. He glared at Zhang tightly, and said, “My godfather.”
“My son! Oh, God, My son!” Fang almost fainted from crying.
Zhang Chong’s violent action quelled many people, whose hatred and suspicion were replaced by fear, and they got silent in a flash.
After kicking, Zhong Chong withdrew his foot. He got quite satisfied that he had dominated these people. He swept around with swift and fierce eyes, disdain in them when he noticed Ling Zhang and Ling Shaowen.
“Lord Tao, the unfilial guy should be punished for his mistakes. I can’t allow anything objectionable as this, but my action has exceeded my duties and meddled in your affairs, so Lord Tao, I beg your forgiveness.” Zhang Chong said with his face looked even more ferocious.
“Commander Zhang, you just overstated! Since there is no objection, I’ll enter a judgement over the case of Jiang Yuanling framing Ling Zhang, the Xiucai (one who passed the imperial examination at the county level),” said Tao Feng.
“My godfather......please save me......” Struggling to make a sound, Jia Yuanling intended to crawl over.
“Commander Zhang, please save my Ling! He just said wrong words, and I apologized for him. But please, please save him from ruin.” Fang turned around to make kowtows to Zhang Chong.
“Commander Zhang, you can’t be softhearted, can you?” Ling Zhaowen who was standing together with Ling Zhang said.
“Are you looking down upon me by saying so?” Zhang Chong’s face turned cold, looking even more fierce.
Not afraid of him, Ling Zhaowen wore the expression of waiting and seeing what would happen.

“I know people in Tanyang have some misunderstanding about me. You can rest assured that I, Zhang Chong, am by no means the kind of person who practices favoritism and fraud. Please don’t let a word or two from others shake your trust in Prefecture Guards.” Zhang turned around to speak to the people outside.
Then he turned back, and said to Tao Feng, “Lord Tao, you just make your own judgement, and I won’t say a word about it.”
“Well, you got my admiration,” said Tao Feng, who then declared Jia Yuanling and others guilty at once.
Jia Yuanling was sentenced to 20 years of exile for 3,000 Li away, and the other four received varying punishments respectively.
Jia Yuanling gasped heavily for breath, and his chest heaved violently out of wrath before he fainted.
Having witnessed the scene, Fang rolled her eyes, and got fainted too.
The servants of Jia’s family got so flustered, and didn’t know what to do totally.
Once the judgement was made, there would be no way to change it.
“You’re wise, my lord,” Ling Zhang said. “You’re just wise and upright, and it is fortunate for people in Tanyang to have you here.”
“Thank you, my lord, for upholding justice for us,” Ling Zhaowen said too.
“Wise, my lord!” someone outside shouted, and then many people echoed loudly.
Tao Feng’s reputation got very high for the moment, and those guests who followed him to testify looked at each other before they joined in speaking highly of Tao too.
Zhang Chong’s expression turned stern, and he and Tao Feng looked at each other in the courtroom.
When the court was dismissed, Zhang Chong turned to look at Ling Zhang suddenly.
The expression in his eyes was full of coldness and maliciousness, like a murderous wolf wanting to tear apart Ling Zhang.
Although it was fleeting, and the people next to him hardly noticed, Ling Zhang still made out the homicidal intent of Zhang Chong.
Ling Zhao looked at him calmly as it was inevitable to come into conflict with Zhang, and he had already got prepared psychologically for this.
Just a murderous gaze didn’t matter much, and what he wanted was Zhang Chong’s life.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

But things are not always as they appear." i want to thank mejinzs for his gift of cover art, and both rouge and mejinzs for the proofreading support and rouge for the help with the abstract R15+ for violence... i guess and possible strong language... i guess (doing this as a better safe than sorry sort of deal.) now posting on my blogspot site as well (https://talesoftheforgottenslayer.wordpress.com/)

Path of the Ancients
When humans with the ability to control the fundamental particles of the universe with their minds were first discovered, the age of space travel began in earnest. Relativistic travel faster than the speed of light became possible and humanity moved out into the stars. When it was discovered that these Mages could be turned into effective weapons, humanity turned back to its oldest pastime of war. Hundreds of years later as humanity was on the brink of self-destruction, with its taste for war finally beginning to wane, a new organization was created. The Conclave was formed to regulate all Mage’s within the human colonies. While the colonies maintained their independence, the Conclave’s control over access to interstellar travel made them the de facto power amongst humanity. As the old saying goes, ‘Power Corrupts’, and many people were unhappy with the way the Conclave had been leveraging its authority, not the least of which were the Mages they controlled. One unregistered illegal Mage by the name of Tyrial had made it his life's mission to dismantle the Conclave at any cost. After spending decades working towards his goals alone, he realized he would need the aid of willing allies in his crusade. Tyrial would need all the help he could get learning to work with others, dealing with his own dark past, and handling unfamiliar feelings of romantic interest. Content Warning Note: They are there to cover my behind. I honestly hesitated to put them there at all but I figured better safe than sorry. Gore in particular barely applies and the sexual content amounts to light Cinemax style at best. But, at least now you can’t say I didn’t warn you. POSTED: Currently, this story is being posted to RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub. If you see this story posted anywhere else, please report it to the user "Tyrial" on either of the aforementioned sites. Thanks!
