Just as the entire street was going crazy, an untimely voice rang out.
"The Machinery race is enforcing the law. Everyone, retreat. Maintain silence!"
20 expressionless Machinery creatures walked out from the crowd. In the divine territory, the voices of the Machinery race could stop children from crying at night. The excited noises around them suddenly stopped, and the 20 Machinery creatures walked in front of Wang Zhong.
An abnormally tall Machine showed him an arrest warrant. "Wang Zhong, you are suspected of fighting on the streets and destroying public property. Please come with us."
"What do you mean? Yin Jiao and Mugthol were the first to fight! Yin Jiao was the one who started the fight. If you want to arrest someone, you should arrest him first! "Someone in the crowd that had quietened down could not help but shout.
"That's right! Why should we arrest Wang Zhong first?! "
Lord Mugthol, who was standing in the middle, felt extremely awkward. In the morning, he was still Uncle Thol, but now, he had become Mugthol. As expected, the one who won was a hero, and the one who lost was a coward.
"Maintain silence!" The abnormally tall Machine looked around, and a terrifying aura instantly spread, causing everyone who met his gaze to keep quiet out of fear. "Anyone who makes a ruckus will be punished for obstructing law enforcement!"
The surroundings were completely silent. This Machine was too terrifying and was much stronger than the Machinery race from the ordinary law enforcement squad. Just a glare from him gave people an absolute sense of pressure. Furthermore, when the Machinery race enforced the law, no matter how dissatisfied others were, they could at most move their mouths. Who would dare to stop them?
The Machine stopped everyone and turned to look at the side. Then, he instructed again, "Bring Yin Jiao and Mugthol away!"
Wang Zhong smiled and did not resist. Even though he had only been in the divine territory for a few days, he knew that opposing the Machinery race in the divine territory was definitely suicide. Furthermore, he was not illiterate. During this period of time, he had crammed the laws of the Star Alliance. Perhaps he did not understand some of the small loopholes in the system, but at least based on the nature of the situation, his actions today should not be considered a big deal.
He followed the tall Machine and walked in front. Behind him, there were naturally people who led Mugthol and carried Yin Jiao. Their movements were swift, and even the scattered flood dragon scales and blood on the ground were cleaned up within a short minute. Those who wanted to pick up the leftovers were greatly disappointed. Closely after, the 20 Machines led the three of them and neatly walked out of the street under the gaze of thousands of people.
Shannali, who had been standing on the roof, had a faint smile on her face. She was very interested. With a light tap of her toes, she followed behind the machinery race. The thousands of people on the street behind them looked at each other. Little Lost Fox was the first to react. She grabbed Old Cow's arm and shook it violently. "Boss, boss! Let's hurry up and go take a look! "
"Right, right, right!" Before Old Cow could reply, countless merchants on the street spontaneously became enthusiastic. "Let's go, let's go!"
"More people can serve as witnesses! It was obviously Yin Jiao who provoked us, and Grandpa Zhong was forced to accept the challenge. He did not violate the laws of the Star Alliance! As for the damaged houses, they are all on our street. We'll take responsibility for them ourselves! "
"Damn it, it's not your house that was destroyed …" The owner of the house whose entire third floor was destroyed was trembling.
"Good for nothing! How much is your rundown house worth? Everyone will pool their money to compensate you! You're a money-grubber! "
"If you want witnesses, we'll testify. If you want compensation, we'll pool our money!" There was no need for anyone to organize this. This time, all the merchants stood on the same side. "We cannot let our hero suffer losses. He has worked hard and has to bleed!"
This group of people was majestic and mighty. Their stance was 10 times more lively than when the Heavenly Treasures Chamber of Commerce had organized everyone to protest at the law enforcement squad. If they simply rushed to the law enforcement squad, it would be strange if they were not charged with the crime of gathering a crowd to cause trouble. At that time, even if Wang Zhong was not guilty, he would be guilty.
"Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, don't panic! " After all, Old Cow was one of the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and had quite a reputation in the Heavenly Treasures Street. He loudly shouted, "If there are too many people, it will be easy for something to happen. Just choose a few representatives to follow me! Everyone, wait for news in the Heavenly Treasures Street. If anything happens, we will immediately inform everyone! "
The Catanlyke District was built around a branch node of the Heavenly River numbered TH43. All the top powers and the main departments of the Star Alliance were located near this branch node.
The center of this node was completely different from the sand fields that surrounded the Heavenly River. The Heavenly River itself contained a large amount of spiritual influence, as well as lethal poison and radiation. However, at this node, due to some special rules of the Heavenly River, the radiation and lethal poison that spread from the Heavenly River would be reduced to the lowest level and would be almost harmless. Meanwhile, the level of spiritual influence that spread would greatly exceed the average level. There was no doubt that the spiritual pressure and gravity in this kind of place would be greater, but correspondingly, the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth would be gentler, more abundant, and purer.
When they reached this place, Wang Zhong felt as if the world had become clearer in his senses. Without a doubt, training in this kind of environment would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort. It was no wonder that the great Factions and great figures controlled the various Heavenly River nodes in the divine territory. The closer one was to these Heavenly River nodes, the more expensive the land would be. Even though they were in the same district, the land in the center of this node was dozens of times more expensive than in the Heavenly Treasures Street.
Everyone was brought to the law enforcement squad. The level-7 machine quickly left, and someone from the Machinery race came over to help them complete the law enforcement procedures. According to the rules of the Star Alliance, anyone suspected of a crime committed by a Void Core expert would have to go through an official trial in the law enforcement hall before they could be convicted or released.
After completing the procedures, Wang Zhong and the others were brought to the resting room to wait for their trial.
There were four people in the room. Other than Wang Zhong, Mugthol, and Yin Jiao, who had just woken up, Shannali from the Cloud Mist Faction was also there. However, she was different from Wang Zhong and the others, who were awaiting trial. She was free. As one of the members of the Heavenly Gates array, she had a lot of freedom in the Land. Being able to enter and leave any place in the law enforcement squad was a very common and small matter to them.
Mugthol looked slightly awkward. He was a forthright person, but when he saw Wang Zhong, he would recall what had happened at Old Cow's house, causing him to feel extremely embarrassed. After greeting Wang Zhong, he obediently sat at the side and treated his injuries. He did not say a single word.
Yin Jiao had also woken up. Frankly speaking, his injuries were not considered serious. The recovery ability of a half-dragon was shocking, and Shannali had fed him a healing pill. At that moment, even though he looked like he was on the verge of death, his spirit had recovered significantly. He looked at Wang Zhong with a gaze filled with hatred and killing intent. "Trash, you will pay the price for all of this! My father will definitely take your life! "
"A baring dog doesn't bite." Wang Zhong laughed and said, "If you can't win, you go back to look for your father. You are really promising."
At the side, Shannali could not help but laugh out loud. This fellow was too interesting, and his mouth was too sarcastic.
Yin Jiao was dumbfounded at first, but when he heard Shannali's laughter, a wave of anger attacked his heart. He woke up with great difficulty, but he almost fainted from anger. He pointed at Wang Zhong, and his voice trembled slightly. "You, you …"
Wang Zhong could not be bothered with him. Instead, he turned around and greeted Shannali. "The healing pill you fed him just now was very powerful. It woke him up in an instant. What pill was that?"
"It's a Hundred Spirit Cleansing Pill. It specializes in treating anxiety, anger, and mental disorder." Shannali smiled and said, "It can strengthen one's spirit and make one calm."
"Then you have to feed him a few more." Wang Zhong shook his head. "I think that he is not calm right now."
Pfft!
Yin Jiao simply spat out a mouthful of blood. Not only had Wang Zhong humiliated him, he had even flirted with the woman he liked in front of him. Most importantly, this woman had actually responded to him! She had even exchanged flirtatious glances with him and was talking and laughing with him. This was simply, simply … He was a cultivation maniac. After joining the Heavenly Gates array, he had come into contact with diligent geniuses from various races. Perhaps this group of people did not lack cunning, but none of them would bicker with others for no reason. They were not good at this, let alone the younger Yin Jiao. When faced with Wang Zhong's sharp tongue and various invisible attacks, he simply felt that he could not win against Wang Zhong even if he had 100 mouths. The suffocating feeling of being unable to speak and being unable to reason was not inferior to the humiliation of being defeated in public.
However, before he could use the most vicious words he could think of to describe that bastard Earthling, the door to the lounge was pulled open. A creature from the Machinery race walked in expressionlessly. "Invite those involved in the Heavenly Treasures Street to enter the Law Enforcement Hall for trial!"
The Law Enforcement Hall was also known as the trial hall of the Machinery race. Those who could be brought here for trial were all people with a certain status in the divine territory. Ordinary people did not have the qualifications to make the presiding judge carry out a trial.
"Jiao 'er!"
Just as everyone walked out of the lounge, they heard an anxious and furious roar from the Law Enforcement Hall outside. A powerful and terrifying aura violently spread from the spectator stands. Not only was it filled with urgent concern for the dying Yin Jiao, but it also locked onto Wang Zhong. Its aura and gaze made it seem as if it wanted to immediately swallow Wang Zhong alive.
Yin Jiuli, the Suzerain of the Shell Shade Faction.
After all, he was a Faction Leader. Even though he did not have as dazzling natural endowments as his son, there was no doubt that the aura that Yin Jiuli released was much more terrifying than Yin Jiao's. As a result, Wang Zhong was secretly awestruck. These veteran Void Core experts might have too much room for improvement, but they usually had their own unique points. For example, if Mugthol had not made a mistake in his strategy or been too concerned about the things on the street being destroyed, as long as he continued to stand on the ground and borrowed the power of the earth to stand on the ground, with his thick skin and natural divine power, he might have been able to fight with Yin Jiao again.
Meanwhile, based on the aura that erupted from Yin Jiuli's rage, his strength was probably above Yin Jiao's and Mugthol's.
Wang Zhong glanced out of the corner of his eye. Not only was Yin Jiuli and a group of dark goblins from the Shell Shade Faction present, Old Cow, Little Lost Fox, Sister Ling, Uncle Sea, and the others were also sitting in the spectator stands of the Law Enforcement Hall. At that moment, their faces were filled with worry. However, when she saw Wang Zhong, Little Lost Fox cheered. "Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong, are you alright? We're all here! "
Ta ta ta!
"Silence! Silence! "A Machine sitting in the middle of the Law Enforcement Hall knocked on the table and sternly chided.
Unlike ordinary Machines, this Machine's head was extremely large, and the back of his head was transparent … It seemed to contain a universe, but the shape of his face was rather normal. It was obvious that this person had a different status in the Machinery race, and the other Machines were especially respectful towards him.
After stopping the noise in the hall, a series of procedures followed.
The Law Enforcement Squad from the Machinery race immediately replayed the battle in the Heavenly Treasures Street. The light from the projection flashed in the hall. Old Cow and the others watched from the side, and their expressions were very ugly.
It was obvious that the Law Enforcement Squad from the Machinery race had arrived at the street a long time ago. The video they had recorded was extremely complete. It started from the battle between Yin Jiao and Mugthol until Wang Zhong knocked Yin Jiao unconscious. Frankly speaking, this matter was very strange. Law Enforcement Squad from the Machinery race usually waited for an incident to happen before taking the corresponding action. However, they had arrived at the scene of the incident before the incident had happened. This was not the same as the usual Law Enforcement Squad from the Machinery race. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy about this?
Even though the Machinery race's Law Enforcement Squad was merciless, nothing was absolute. Now, they sensed that something fishy was going on. Could it be that the Machinery race would help a group of commoners to deal with an aristocrat? Even if the Machinery race truly had such a noble consciousness, no one in the entire Heavenly Treasures Street had any secret dealings with the Machinery race. There was no relationship at all. Could it be that they had come to help them when something abnormal had happened?
The hall was silent until the entire projection process ended.
"Lord Presiding Judge, this matter is very obvious!" Yin Jiuli stood up.
He could tolerate Yin Jiao's arrogance in front of him because Yin Jiao represented the future of the Shell Shade Faction and the continuation of his life. However, this did not mean that others could bully his successor!
"Through the Law Enforcement Squad's Law Enforcement Squad, the Shell Shade Faction will compensate for the public property that was destroyed during the fight! However, this lowly commoner has harmed an aristocrat. Furthermore, he is a special aristocrat who has entered the Heavenly Gates array! " Yin Jiuli had turned from guest to host. The laws of the Star Alliance were simply too familiar with them, who were in charge of a large Faction. There were many civilizations in the Star Alliance, and there were many civilizations that were more powerful than the Shell Shade Faction. However, the Shell Shade Faction was able to firmly take root in Catanlyke District. At the end of the day, it was because they had a thorough understanding of the rules of the Star Alliance that they were able to turn misfortunes into blessings.
Suing Wang Zhong for damaging public property was just a small crime. Yin Jiuli wanted this fellow who had dared to humiliate his child in public. He definitely wanted him to die!
He said in a stern voice, "According to the law, he will be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison or sent to the Arena!"
"Now, as the Suzerain of the Shell Shade Faction, I will officially apply for a Civilization Arbitration. This kind of case that has an extremely bad influence must be punished with the highest possible punishment!"
There was silence in the hall. Old Cow and the others were shocked and felt that their palms were sweaty.
Applying for a Civilization Arbitration was a right that only the leaders of the various large powers had. Furthermore, once they applied for a Civilization Arbitration, it would no longer be a simple private matter. Instead, it would rise to the level of a Star Alliance civilization, and the punishment would usually be rather heavy. This was a rule that was written in the laws of the Land. Even the Machinery race could not ignore it. Privileges were also a form of motivation. The celestials did not want a Land that was like a pool of dead water.
This was simply asking for Wang Zhong's life.
"Suzerain Yin, calm down." Without waiting for the presiding judge to respond, Old Cow hurriedly smiled and said, "It was just a private fight. There is no need to apply for a Civilization Arbitration, right? How about this? Give me a number. Even if I have to go bankrupt … "
"Hmph." Yin Jiuli coldly glanced at him. "Who are you? Does a lowly peddler have the right to stand in this courtroom and bargain with me? "
Old Cow choked. To be honest, he did not have the right to speak in front of Yin Jiuli. However, Wang Zhong had fallen to this stage for everyone. In order to save Wang Zhong and help Wang Zhong escape punishment, Old Cow threw caution to the wind and threw away his dignity. His smile was as ugly as it could be. "Suzerain Yin, you are right. I do not dare to bargain. I am just begging you …"
"Can any kind of trash sneak into the hall now?" Yin Jiuli did not even bother to look at him. "Presiding judge, a low-leveled commoner like him is not worthy of entering the hall. Please expel him."
"How can you be like this? Why are you scolding people without rhyme or reason?" Little Lost Fox felt wronged for Old Cow.
Old Cow was shocked, but before he could cover Little Lost Fox's mouth, Wang Zhong had already smiled and said, "Brother Cow, there is no need to lower your voice to that fellow. If you had not taken me in back then, I might have starved to death on the streets. This is a small matter. You don't have to worry about it. Just judge as you should. I want to go. The Shell Shade Faction will not affect the Machinery race."
"Heh, you have guts." A vicious murderous intent flashed in Yin Jiuli's eyes. "I admire you a little. Let's see if you can still be so stubborn when you die!"
"You are dead meat, you little bastard!" Yin Jiao was already roaring crazily from below.
"Silence! Silence! "
The giant presiding judge from the Machinery race knocked on the table again, and the hall instantly quietened down. Starlight flashed on the presiding judge's massive head, as if he was communicating some information with the other Machinery race.
The communication method of the Machinery race could not be imitated by any other race in the divine territory. They had a unique communication platform. Every member of the Machinery race could communicate with any other race at any time and any place in the divine territory. Some people even said that all members of the Machinery race shared the same soul, which was the Machinery Heart. Only the Machinery race could achieve complete synchronization with the entire race and share all knowledge and even all emotions.
The presiding judge was obviously communicating with the other members of the Machinery race to decide the outcome of the trial.
Even though the outcome was not out yet, Yin Jiuli's expression was as calm as water. Meanwhile, Yin Jiao, who was below, had an expression of victory.
The legal level of a civilization arbitration was very high, and there were many special privileges. Of course, there were also many restrictions. For example, a level-6 civilization could only apply for a civilization arbitration once every 10 years. This was a special privilege that the Star Alliance gave to these middle- and high-leveled civilizations.
Yin Jiuli used his status as the Suzerain of the Shell Shade Faction to apply for a civilization arbitration. Unless another civilization of the same level used a civilization arbitration to refute him, it was impossible to revoke the ruling or change it. Frankly speaking, using this to deal with Wang Zhong was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. However, Yin Jiuli had seen the video of Wang Zhong and Yin Jiao fighting. This Earthling's combat power was rather terrifying. Even if Yin Jiuli attacked, he might not have much of a chance of victory. Furthermore, if he did not kill Wang Zhong as soon as possible, with his terrifying growth speed, how would the Shell Shade Faction have a foothold in the Catanlyke District?
The price was high, but it was worth it! Wang Zhong had to die!
