Chapter 796: Chapter 473: Black Mandala Buddha Country_2

So, he kept pleading with Elder Combs, “Law Enforcement Elder, I just made a tiny mistake. Forgive me this once, and I promise I’ll never act recklessly again.”

“You’ve been arrogant and domineering in the city for many years. Now that you’ve hit a snag and want to repent, even if I were inclined to let it slide, do you think Snow Wood would be so magnanimous?”

Elder Combs shook his head; it wasn’t that he necessarily wanted to punish him, but with matters having escalated to this point, he had to give Snow Wood an explanation.

Seeing that things were irreparable, Enzo Wexler immediately threw the jade pendant he was wearing onto the ground. It was a symbol of the Wexler Clan, indicating his life was in danger.

A few moments later, a terrifying pressure descended, “Who dares to bully my Wexler Clan? With me here, nobody is allowed to act recklessly.”

The comer was none other than Parker Wexler, the Family Head of the Wexler Clan, who had reached the Quasi-Saint Emperor Realm. In the entire Southern Desolation, he was a top one hundred master, and when he appeared, the thousands of onlookers present all trembled and involuntarily retreated several steps.

Everyone thought Snow Wood was certainly doomed. After all, Parker Wexler was known to dote heavily on Enzo Wexler. Despite Snow Wood coming from one of the top three first-rate forces, the Snow Sky Sect, they did not have a master with them, and even if one came, it would take days, so there was no help for the moment.

When Elder Combs saw that Parker Wexler had arrived, his headache grew, but he could only give a mild smile and say, “Family Head Wexler, there’s no need to be so angry. Let me explain slowly. Your son just now had a conflict with Snow Wood from the Snow Sky Sect over an Ancient Stone, and he even attempted murder. According to the rules of Heavenly Moon City, his cultivation level should be abolished.”

“Snow Sky Sect?” The usually domineering Parker Wexler felt some embarrassment upon hearing the name. After all, the Snow Sky Sect was far stronger than the Wexler Clan, with any Elder there being of the Quasi-Saint Emperor Realm, not someone his clan could afford to offend.

But since Enzo Wexler was his son, he obviously didn’t want him to come to harm. He only had this one son, and if today the Law Enforcement Elder really abolished his cultivation, wouldn’t it be akin to sending white-haired parents to bury their black-haired child?

“It’s just an Ancient Stone, can’t it just be given to Snow Wood?” Parker Wexler looked at Snow Wood: “I’ll give you the stone, and let’s forget the conflict just now. Although the Snow Sky Sect is powerful, they shouldn’t act so rampantly in Heavenly Moon City. I’ve already made a significant concession.”

“Has it come to this over a stone? Are you pretending to be ignorant here or do you truly hold the Snow Sky Sect in such low regard?”

Facing a Quasi-Saint Emperor, Snow Wood showed not the slightest fear, “I am not one to cause trouble without reason, but is it so hard to want justice? As the Family Head of the Wexler Clan, you should understand whether someone like Enzo Wexler, who behaves so atrociously, deserves punishment or not?”

“What do you want? Let’s each take a step back. I can offer you five million top-grade Spirit Stones, and we can talk about everything, as long as you let Enzo Wexler go.”

If it had been anyone else trying to negotiate, Parker Wexler would have already taken action to annihilate him, but given that Snow Wood was from the Snow Sky Sect, he had no choice but to bow his head and negotiate.

Five million top-grade Spirit Stones might seem a lot to others, but Snow Wood did not value them at all. Could such a small number of Spirit Stones resolve a feud? If he hadn’t been from the Snow Sky Sect, would these people be negotiating with him? They would likely have already started a massacre.

Snow Wood shook his head, his stance unwavering, “No, there’s no need to negotiate with me. You’re a Quasi-Saint Emperor; you could easily take Enzo Wexler and leave. Who here could stop you? But afterward, you will need to consider and bear the wrath of the Snow Sky Sect.”

“Are you threatening me?” Parker Wexler’s expression suddenly turned icy, “Even if you’re from the Snow Sky Sect, I’m still a Quasi-Saint Emperor. I don’t believe the Snow Sky Sect would send forces over such a trifling matter. Don’t act so high and mighty.”

“Or perhaps, I might as well erase you and the thousands of people around, then no word of this affair would spread. Who could know it was the work of the Wexler Clan? Even though you come from a top first-rate power, you must understand that this is Heavenly Moon City.”

Parker Wexler was furious, seemingly ready to unleash his divine skill when Elder Combs, in a moment of shock, hastily intervened, “Family Head Wexler, you must not act recklessly. Once you start here, there will be no turning back.”

Among the crowd, Logan felt a chill down his spine. Was this the might of a Quasi-Saint Emperor Strong One? To think he would consider dealing with over a thousand onlookers in one fell swoop simply because of a disagreement.

“So what? I will not allow anything to happen to Enzo Wexler.” Parker Wexler stated each word deliberately, with an unwavering attitude. If it came down to it, he was prepared to drag the entire Heavenly Moon City down with him in a joint funeral. Even if the Snow Sky Sect actually came looking for trouble, the City Lord would be the first to face it, and the Wexler Clan wouldn’t be traced.

At that moment, another figure appeared: “Wexler Family Head, you surely have a lot of guts. As the City Lord, don’t you think you’re going too far?”

“City Lord.” Upon recognizing the newcomer, everyone respectfully bowed, even the arrogant Parker Wexler, who now had to restrain himself considerably.

“You want to attack someone from the Snow Sky Sect and don’t fear involving the whole Heavenly Moon City? The mistake is your son’s own doing, and he should pay the price for it. The Wexler Clan has always been low-profile as the leading family clan of Heavenly Moon City. Only your son causes endless trouble for everyone.”

Nasir Combs glanced at Parker Wexler, clearly exasperated: “Why don’t other members of the Wexler Clan cause trouble? Bluntly put, it’s because you, as a father, are not fit for the job. From a young age, you spoiled Enzo Wexler rotten. Today’s incident should serve as a lesson, and I think a severe punishment is in order.”

“Nevertheless, no significant harm has been done, and Snow Wood and the others are unharmed. So, stripping Enzo Wexler of his cultivation level and turning him into an ordinary human will prevent him from being arrogant and bullying others in the future. With you around, even without his cultivation, he will live a life free from worries about food and clothing.”

“Although he is your only child, as long as Enzo is alive, he can continue the family line, right? On the other hand, if you stubbornly try to save Enzo and go against reason, you’ll not only fail to save him, you might also bring ruin to the entire Wexler Clan. So think carefully about your decision.”

Nasir Combs’s words were logical and caused Parker Wexler to waver. Indeed, after such a grave error by Enzo, it was difficult to protect him today. Might it be better to step back?

At this moment, Enzo Wexler was utterly terrified. Knowing his father’s temperament all too well, he realized that the look in his father’s eyes meant his cultivation was about to be stripped away.

In the Outer Domain, life without cultivation was arguably more torturous than death. Enzo could not accept this and kept begging his father not to take action. Parker Wexler’s heart was undoubtedly aching, but to preserve the greater good, he had to be ruthlessly decisive.

Under the effect of Parker Wexler’s Divine Skill, Enzo Wexler became a cripple. Nasir Combs nodded in approval: “Well done. That’s the resolve of a Wexler Family Clan Head.”

“Are you satisfied with the outcome?” Nasir Combs then looked toward Snow Wood: “During the martial arts tournament these past few days, I’ve warned everyone in the city, yet some still insist on causing trouble. I also have you to thank for blowing the incident up, allowing me to be informed immediately.”

“Your sense of justice is much appreciated, City Lord. The mere fact that you would step forward to preside over justice and even speak a word on my behalf is sufficient for me, not to mention stripping Enzo Wexler of his cultivation level.”

Snow Wood responded with great respect, well aware that the City Lord of Heavenly Moon City was a Saint Emperor Powerhouse, and that in the entire Southern Desolation, there were only three such individuals.

Therefore, even though he came from the Snow Sky Sect, Snow Wood did not dare to put on airs in front of Nasir Combs, for not even the Snow Sky Sect could protect him if he did.

Nasir Combs regarded Snow Wood favorably, seeing that he had offered him a way out. As long as the matter was resolved, public opinion wouldn’t continue to ferment, and even if the whole city came to know about it later, the City Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t be impacted negatively. The only negative would fall on the Wexler Clan.

Afterward, Nasir Combs surveyed the crowd with a righteous air: “Tomorrow is the martial arts tournament. During this period, I do not wish to see any more disturbances. If anyone from Heavenly Moon City intends to bully outside forces, they would do well to think twice. Today’s fate of Enzo Wexler of the Wexler Clan serves as a warning.”

Chills ran down the spines of everyone present. After Nasir Combs left, Logan, who had witnessed the whole ordeal, could not help but feel a multitude of emotions, acknowledging that strength was indeed crucial.
