Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1041 1041: Challenging Imperial Authority

As a modern person, Qin Yi doesn't understand the mindset of these people.
Actually, it's like in ancient times when someone dared to curse the Emperor; they'd be executed along with their whole family.
Seeing these people turn pale with fright, Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh heartlessly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a kind reminder: before clamoring to kill others, consider whether you have the power to do so."
Mi Haohao, on the other hand, couldn't care less; Qin Yi cursed the Royal Family in front of them. If they didn't kill Qin Yi, then the Royal Family would kill them. Not defending the Royal Family's dignity was a capital offense.
"Insulting the Royal Family, your crime is unforgivable."
Mi Haohao roared, his internal qi surging around him.
A powerhouse in the Nascent Soul Realm was considered a master in this small city. But in front of Qin Yi, it wasn't quite impressive.
Qin Yi said indifferently, "Actually, I'm not here today to fight to the death. I'm just here to tell you not to trouble those ordinary folks. Can you agree to that?"
Mi Haohao howled: "Facing death, you should be thinking about yourself."
"I just ask a single question: can you let those villagers go?"
"You insulted the Royal Family, those villagers are surely like you. Not only do you have to die, but none of those people will survive."
Qin Yi's eyes gradually turned cold, "I advise you, doing evil will lead to your own demise. You do not understand now that water can carry a vessel, but can also overturn it, but you will eventually realize this."
"No matter what you say today, insulting the Royal Family means you must die."
Qin Yi replied indifferently: "Such blind loyalty, feels like there's no need to continue talking. Goodbye!"
"Boom!"
An intimidating aura surged around Qin Yi, and just releasing the pressure was enough to suppress Mi Haohao's strength so it couldn't operate, turning his old face ghostly pale with terror.
"Puff puff...!"
Even a mere trace of pressure was something these pitifully weak soldiers couldn't withstand; they were crushed, their qi and blood surged, and they spat blood.
The white-clothed Confucian scholar was completely appalled, his cultivation similar to Mi Haohao, but finding his strength completely suppressed and unable to be mobilized, he finally understood they were encountering a tough nut, his face ashen.
Even though they had five thousand troops, faced with absolute strength, they had no choice but to tremble.
Moreover, the five thousand troops were stationed outside the city, and by the time they arrived, he'd probably be dead.
Mi Haohao's face turned red, trying to resist Qin Yi's suppression, but it was in vain.
"If you dare kill me? No matter how strong your cultivation is, you can't escape the Royal Family's pursuit."
Qin Yi shook his head internally, having lost the mood to tangle with these people. With his current cultivation, arguing with them was like a boss in a starter village, really a bit bullying.
Of course, Qin Yi liked bullying these people. If they could bully the villagers, why can't they be bullied themselves?
"If I were you, I wouldn't be stupid enough to threaten others at this moment but would think about how to survive. I came here only to tell you not to trouble those villagers, but it seems we have nothing to discuss anymore.
If so, then I'll send you on your way. Don't blame me, it's you who asked for death; you wouldn't die if you talked nicely—what a pity you didn't cherish it. If I let you go, those persecuted will definitely be those villagers. So, you should die instead.
Remember, my name is Qin Yi; your blindly loyal Royal Family, Qin wants to challenge the so-called imperial power."
Qin Yi slowly extended his hand, turning his hand into a claw, twisting it in the air.
"Crack!"
The bone-cracking sound made one's body cold; Mi Haohao's neck was directly twisted and broken by Qin Yi in the air.
The white-clothed Confucian scholar almost wet himself in fright, his whole body shaking like a sieve, his face ashen, panicked, "You, you can't kill me, I'm from Fengwang City; if you kill me..."
"Crack!"
Before the white-clothed Confucian scholar finished speaking, his neck was also twisted and broken by Qin Yi in the air, collapsing limply to the ground.
"Noise!" Qin Yi said indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, a crackling bone-breaking sound was heard. Turning his head, he happened to see Yun Mengyao's foot leave Mi Tianzheng's neck, his neck bone already crushed.
Qin Yi: "..."
Yun Mengyao showed indifference, this fool dared to covet her beauty, surely asking for death.
"What place is Fengwang City?"
Yun Mengyao said, "Have you heard of one king and ten generals?"
"What the hell is that?" Qin Yi looked puzzled.
"It means conferring kings and appointing generals, under one king is a general. I think this City Lord Mi is one of the generals under Wind King."
Qin Yi understood.
"Let's go," Yun Mengyao said, the matter was already done, staying here held no meaning.
Qin Yi laughed, "This is still the mansion of the City Lord. Maybe there are quite a few good things, should we search?"
Yun Mengyao: "..."
"If you don't mind being chased by five thousand troops, you can stay and search slowly."
Qin Yi thought for a bit and then decided against it, not because he feared the five thousand troops, but after all, it was five thousand people; even if killed, it'd be exhausting.
Qin Yi looked at the soldiers trembling in fear, and said coldly: "I know you are all acting on orders, and I'll spare you for now. But I hope you remember the original intention of being in the army: to defend the nation and protect the people. I think many of your parents are just ordinary people, what would you do if someone bullied them?
I hope you'll act more conscientiously in the future, for above your heads, three feet, there is a God. Bad deeds will definitely have consequences."
Qin Yi continued, "Pass my message to your next City Lord, if they dare oppress the people again, I will return to take his head."
With these words, Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao soared up into the air and left.
...
...
"Where are we going now?" Yun Mengyao asked.
Qin Yi replied, "To Fengwang City."
Yun Mengyao looked at him oddly, "Do you really want to challenge the imperial power?"
"Why not?" Qin Yi countered.
"For you, of course, it doesn't matter. The rules of this world are a joke to you. But I don't have time to accompany you; I should hurry back to the Feather Clan."
Qin Yi hesitated, "You mentioned this desolate domain is several times larger than Earth? The Feather Clan is in the Xuanhuang Domain, and this is the Moon Desolate Domain, how far is it?"
"Inestimably far." Yun Mengyao said.
"Then how will you return?"
Yun Mengyao smiled: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Qin Yi: "…"
"Then go ahead, we part ways here, we'll meet again if fate allows."
Yun Mengyao's face was full of disbelief, "Qin Yi, you're excessive."
"Huh?" Qin Yi was puzzled.
"You're really fine with letting me go back alone?"
"What's the matter?"
"From the Moon Desolate Domain to the Xuanhuang Domain, you must cross several deserted domains, the journey is over a million miles! Aren't you afraid that I'll encounter trouble along the way?"
Qin Yi looked at her oddly, "Why should I be afraid of your trouble? It's not me who'd be in trouble."
Yun Mengyao's face instantly darkened with anger, glaring at Qin Yi, "Say that again?"
"Uh, then what do you want me to do?"
"Take me home."
