Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Big Head and Er Gou both possessed cultivation at the Void Refinement Realm, while Huo Lang and Daya were only at the Profound Understanding Realm. The disparity between the two sides was simply too vast; dragging them away would be an effortless task.

“Let us go! Let me go! On what grounds are you arresting us? We haven’t broken any laws!”

Huo Lang and Daya struggled with all their might as they were dragged by the two Law Enforcement Team members, their faces flushed red from the exertion. But the difference in their realms was truly too great. Their struggles were entirely futile, leaving them with no choice but to be pulled backward.

“Don’t touch me! Otherwise, I’ll sue you for harassment!” Daya shouted while struggling. No matter how the two of them yelled and resisted, it was of no use. They were still dragged away from the battlefield step by step.

Seeing this scene, Elder Jiang temporarily suppressed the Divine Power within his body and watched with cold detachment. His targets were Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng. If he could avoid causing additional bloodshed, that would naturally be for the best. As for these two who had offended him… he would let them off the hook for today. Once he killed Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with them privately.

Just as the Law Enforcement Team members were dragging Huo Lang and Daya and were about to leave the center of the battlefield…

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

A series of sounds tearing through the air suddenly rang out as figures shot up into the sky from various spots in the crowd. More than a dozen loose cultivators abruptly took to the air, swiftly flying to stand behind Huo Lang and Daya. They lined up in a row, blocking the path of the Law Enforcement Team members.

“You are the Law Enforcement Team, not the lapdogs of the Eight Great Clans! What right do you have to arrest people arbitrarily? On what grounds are you helping the Jiang family slaughter the innocent?” an elderly loose cultivator standing at the very front shouted sternly, his voice resonant and powerful.

His cultivation was around the Divinity Transformation Realm Third Layer. Although his strength wasn’t considered great, his words hit the nail on the head, carrying undeniable weight.

The two Law Enforcement Team members froze, looking at each other in dismay, unsure of how to respond.

“This young man and young woman were stopping someone from committing murder in the streets. They are acting bravely for a just cause,” the elderly loose cultivator continued, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. “Could it be that this also violates the laws of Luoping City? The Law Enforcement Team isn’t stopping the murderer, but instead hindering those acting righteously. If word of this gets out, aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock to the rest of the world?”

Huo Lang and Daya were momentarily stunned before they instantly came to their senses, their eyes lighting up. They thought, “That’s right! We can play it this way!”

Straightening their backs, they loudly retorted to the two Law Enforcement Team members. “Exactly! On what grounds are you arresting us? Which law of Luoping City have we broken? Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito haven’t violated any laws; they are still lawful loose cultivators of Luoping City! Someone is trying to kill them in the streets, and we stepped forward bravely for a just cause. Is it a crime to stop a murderer? Shouldn’t you go apprehend the person over there and stop him from committing further evil? Is this how your Law Enforcement Team handles matters?”

The two Law Enforcement Team members’ heads were buzzing from this barrage of words, leaving them standing there in a dilemma. Thinking about it carefully, Huo Lang and Daya hadn’t broken any laws, nor had they violated public order and good morals. They were merely stopping one person from committing a crime against another. Whether in terms of the law or morality, their actions were completely justified.

As the city’s administrators, the Law Enforcement Team members should be stopping the perpetrator of the crime. No matter how you spun it, they shouldn’t be hindering the people trying to stop a crime! There was simply no logic to their actions that could be justified anywhere!

Left with no other choice, the two cast pleading glances at their Captain, Xiao Feng, who wasn’t far away, waiting for him to make a decision.

Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly, let out a sigh, and waved his hand. “Come back.”

Huo Lang and Daya’s fierce arguments based on reason weren’t enough to make Xiao Feng recall his men on their own. The main reason he ordered them back was something else entirely. It was the dozen or so loose cultivators who had suddenly flown into the sky and stood behind Huo Lang and Daya.

And they were just the beginning.

As he looked out across the area, he noticed many other loose cultivators in the crowd growing restless, looking as if they were about to step forward as well. With so many people backing Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng and collectively stopping the Jiang Family Grand Elder from committing murder, Xiao Feng couldn’t possibly arrest them all. There were simply too many to catch.

The law could not punish the masses. Moreover, both legal principles and public sentiment were on Gu Yuexi’s side.

The only thing he could do now was to sit on the fence and remain neutral. He would neither interfere with the loose cultivators nor stop the Jiang Family Grand Elder—feigning ignorance to it all. As for how things would ultimately play out… he glanced at the Elders of the other Seven Great Clans. With the Eight Great Clans serving as the ultimate authority, this matter was no longer something a lowly Law Enforcement Team Captain like him could decide.

With the departure of the Law Enforcement Team members, the morale on Huo Lang’s side was greatly boosted.

The Jiang Family Grand Elder looked at the dozen or so cultivators blocking his path, unable to stop his brows from furrowing as his expression grew increasingly ugly. Before coming here, he never could have imagined that killing a loose cultivator who had just entered the Divinity Transformation Realm and a mosquito would be this troublesome. He hadn’t even come face-to-face with his targets yet, but he was already being obstructed in every possible way, thwarted at every step.

First, it was two junior cultivators at the Profound Understanding Realm. Loose cultivators of this realm were a dime a dozen in Luoping City; they were completely worthless. Even if he killed them both, it would just be a formality. He would “sit” in the Law Enforcement Team’s prison for a few days, feasting on rich delicacies every day, and then return to his family to temporarily lie low.

After the loose cultivators kicked up a fuss for a few days and realized it was utterly useless, the heat of the matter would immediately pass, and no one would remember it for long. He could continue to be the Jiang Family Grand Elder, walking freely through Luoping City without anyone being able to do a thing to him. Even if there were still cultivators who wanted to accuse him, they could only seethe in impotent rage, unable to make any real waves.

But with a dozen people suddenly flying out and blocking his path in unison, the nature of the situation had completely changed. He could make an example of a few to deter the rest, ensuring the other loose cultivators would be too afraid to speak out despite their anger. However, if he killed over a dozen cultivators in public, it would be no small trouble for the Jiang family.

After pondering the matter repeatedly, the Jiang Family Grand Elder suppressed the urge to strike and decided to use his clan’s prestige to pressure them first. His cold gaze swept over the crowd as he spoke slowly, his voice carrying an air of authority.

“Have you thought this through? Are you truly prepared to go against the Jiang family? Do you know the consequences of opposing the Jiang family? You are nothing but powerless and uninfluential loose cultivators. Can you bear the weight of those consequences?”

“From today onward, the Eight Great Clans will blacklist all of you,” the Jiang Family Grand Elder warned, pointing to the Elders of the other Seven Great Clans nearby, his tone growing heavier. “You will be unable to work in the markets, unable to accept missions, and unable to purchase cultivation resources. You will find yourselves stonewalled at every turn, and eventually forced to leave Luoping City to fend for yourselves in the wilderness.”

The Jiang Family Grand Elder’s voice grew increasingly sinister, dripping with intense threat. “Have you… truly thought this through? Step back now, and I can pretend that none of this ever happened.”

Faced with the Jiang Family Grand Elder’s naked threat, Huo Lang didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He took another step forward, straightening his back.

“I’ll say it again! Rather than living a miserable life, being ordered around by you like dogs, I’d rather die a glorious death! If you have the guts, then step over my dead body! I’ll be a son of a bitch if I so much as flinch!”

The other loose cultivators behind him stepped forward as well, standing firmly at Huo Lang’s back. Not a single person retreated.

“So what if it’s the Jiang family? So what if it’s the Eight Great Clans!” they shouted. “We’ve endured this for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years! We’ve had enough! This time, we will never yield!!!”
