"This man has trespassed into our Tang Family's Pine Plain. Elder Lu asked me to bring him back to the Criminal Law Hall …" After bringing Xia Pingan to the Tang Family's castle, the black-faced youth Tang Long directly came to the Criminal Law Hall.
Until now, Xia Pingan's hands were still tied up.
"Is it those dissolute summoners again …" A middle-aged man with a mustache walked over from the Criminal Law Hall and sized up Xia Pingan from head to toe. "We've caught a lot of such people in the city these days. Do you have any special instructions from Elder Lu?"
"No special instructions!"
"Well, I see. Leave it to us!" The man with the mustache smiled and waved his hand. Two disciples of the Criminal Law Hall walked over with two silver-white strange metal rings in their hands. There were also chains in the metal rings, similar to handcuffs. They directly wrapped around Xia Pingan's wrists and locked them in place with a 'kacha' sound.
As soon as the metal rings were locked, Xia Pingan felt that his divine strength and physical strength were completely confined. He could not exert any strength at all. Even the divine strength in the secret mandala seemed to have been frozen.
Tang Long waved his hand, and the rope that bound Xia Pingan flew back to his hand. "This person's body has been integrated with a space-teleportation equipment. There are weapons in it. We have to search it. Don't let him take advantage of any loopholes!"
The man waved his hand as he ordered the two disciples of the Criminal Law Hall, "Take him through the empty gate and put him in prison!"
"Yes!"
Xia Pingan was then escorted by the two disciples of the Criminal Law Hall towards a room in the Criminal Law Hall. After that, they came to a spacious room. The room was a bit strange. There was only a two-meter-high metal arch in the middle of the room. The two disciples of the Criminal Law Hall escorted Xia Pingan through the metal arch.
The moment he passed through the metal door, Xia Pingan felt as if he had entered a spatial crack once again. His entire body felt weightless for an instant. The things he had placed in the spatial warehouse all shook and burst out of the spatial warehouse, crashing onto the ground.
Xia Pingan didn't feel bad about losing those things at all. However, the various methods used to deal with Summoners in this world were an eye-opener for Xia Xia Pingan.
"Is this guy selling weapons? Why does he have so many things on him?" At the sight of the broken sabers, swords, guns and ammunition, the two disciples of the Criminal Law Hall who escorted Xia Pingan were also stunned. One disciple of the Criminal Law Hall fiddled with the things on the ground with his foot as he curled his lips in disdain, "They're all common goods. They don't even have any celestial devices!"
"That's enough. These dissolute Summoners are all poor bastards. How could they have anything good? Put him in jail!"
The two people escorted Xia Pingan out of the room and through the corridor to another place. After that, they went underground and arrived at the prison of the Tang Clan. After that, they threw Xia Pingan into a huge cell.
There were already more than 20 people in the cell. They were of all shapes and sizes. All of them were standing lazily in the cell, wearing "silver bracelets" on their hands.
The only light in the cell came from a ventilation window at the top.
"Ha, here comes another unlucky guy..." Some people sneered.
After throwing Xia Pingan in, the door of the cell was closed.
Xia Pingan glanced around the room and found a place to sit against the wall.
The prison cell looked clean and wasn't filthy. It was much better than Xia Pingan's expectations of a water dungeon filled with maggots and dead rats.
"Brat, where were you caught from?" A guy who had not shaved for more than half a month asked Xia Pingan. He was sitting beside Xia Pingan.
"Wan Songyuan..." Xia Pingan replied.
"Ah, Wan Songyuan..."
Once they heard that Xia Pingan was captured from Wansong Plain, the people in the prison cell immediately became interested and almost all of them gathered around.
"Come on, what's the situation in Wan Songyuan?"
"Has the Secret Treasure of Void in Wan Songyuan appeared?"
"Have any powerhouses arrived?"
The people who gathered around started to ask questions at the same time.
Xia Pingan did not hide anything and told them everything that he had seen.
"The Tang Family has indeed been defeated, hahaha..." Someone slapped his thigh and laughed. "I knew it. With the Tang Family's ability, how could they have taken the Secret Treasure of Void in Wan Songyuan? Even if the Tang Family could capture us, they would still be defeated by a real powerhouse!"
"I wonder who the person who defeated the Tang Family is. How could he summon the Abyss Dragon?"
"He must be at least at the Four Sun Realm!"
"By the way, how did you get in here?" Xia Pingan asked.
"Damn it, I heard that the Secret Treasure of Void appeared in Wan Songyuan and wanted to try my luck. I didn't expect to be caught by the Tang Family's patrol team as soon as I arrived in Wan City..." A guy with disheveled hair said bitterly.
"Me too!"
The group of people in the cell cursed.
Looking at the group of people in the cell, Xia Pingan shook his head inwardly. If these guys had gone to Wan Songyuan, they wouldn't have gotten a share of the Secret Treasure of Void. Perhaps they would already be corpses.
Since there was nothing to do in the cell, Xia Pingan chatted with these people and learned a lot of useful information from them. Little by little, the information gave Xia Pingan a better understanding of the situation in the Southern Region of the Golden Moon Continent.
The Tang Family had been rooted in the Southern Region of the Golden Moon Continent for hundreds of years, but it was only a small family that owned only Wan City.
There were many big and small family forces in the Southern Region of the Golden Moon Continent, but these forces were sandwiched between several large forces. The Devil Wolf Empire of the Devil Wolf Clan and the Devil Kingdom of Chaos were further south and southwest of the Southern Region of the Golden Moon Continent. The Divine Kingdoms of the Dark War God Sect and the Moon God Sect were located in the north and northwest of the Southern Region of the Golden Moon Continent.
A Divine Kingdom could have many Divine Kingdoms, but a Divine Kingdom could only have one Divine Church.
A Divine Church was a force left behind by the "God" of this world.
When Xia Pingan heard about the Dark War God Sect, his heart skipped a beat. This was because the Dark War God Sect was his original target. The Dark War God Sect was one of the largest human forces in Yuan Qiu.
Relying on one person and dozens of people to find and destroy the Dark Pagoda was too weak. If he could grasp the power of the Divine Church and complete this task on a large platform, it would be a different scene.
… …
At night, in the secret chamber of the Tang Family.
The Tang Family's Patriarch and four elders were here.
The Tang Family had failed in the competition for the Void Treasure in the Pine Plains. As the few people in charge of the Tang Family, they naturally had to review the matter here. The result of the review was that the Tang Family had not made any mistakes since the discovery of the Void Treasure. The only reason for the failure was that the Tang Family was still too weak. They were only one step behind when facing a powerful dragon, and the meat of the Tang Family was snatched away from under their noses.
They couldn't blame others for their lack of strength.
However, it was not what a family should do to not fight for the Void Treasure.
Fortunately, the Tang Family didn't lose much strength this time. They only sacrificed two family disciples, and several family disciples were injured. The few elders who fought were slightly injured and would recover in a few days.
The Tang Family had already sent the information and appearance of the person who robbed the Secret Treasure of the Void to the two Holy Kingdoms in the north through their own connections. Therefore, the Tang Family could send some envious and capable masters to deal with him. This could be regarded as an indirect revenge for the Tang Family.
"It's over. Although the rogue summoners who were caught and locked up in the Criminal Law Hall are not strong, they know many people. Those rogue summoners have a lot of connections. Killing them will cause the Tang Family to be criticized and leave a ruthless reputation for the Tang Family. It will cause a lot of trouble for the Tang Family disciples who go out in the future. Lock them up for a few days and let them go after teaching them a lesson …" The Tang Family's Patriarch, Tang Shao, finally said.
Those rogue summoners were just small fries. They couldn't be squeezed out of them and didn't commit any major crimes. Killing them wouldn't help the situation and would cause some trouble if people criticized them. Therefore, the most appropriate method was to lock them up for a few days and let them go.
Although the rogue summoner called Xia Pingan whom I asked Tang Long to catch from the Wansong Plains isn't strong and isn't even at the One-Sun Realm, he can use the perfect-grade Requiem Banner and even fuse with a spatial equipment. When I saw him earlier, he seemed to have been hit by the Soulless Spell. Everything on him had been taken away, including his clothes, and he was wearing the clothes of the dead. He took the things of the dead and even calmed the souls of the dead. He shouldn't be an ordinary person to be able to use the perfect-grade Requiem Banner. The person who used the Soulless Spell to rob him probably knows his background and didn't dare to offend him, so he left him alive. If such a person dies in the hands of our Tang Family, it will indeed be very troublesome … "Elder Lu said.
"To be able to use the perfect-grade Requiem Banner and fuse with a spatial equipment, he must have a master or family background. Taking the things of the dead and calming the souls of the dead. This behavior is indeed like that of a disciple of a large family with strict family rules …" Tang Shao stroked his beard and nodded lightly. "Many disciples of large families will go around to gain experience as rogue summoners when they reach adulthood. Elder Lu is indeed prudent. After a few days, let the Criminal Law Hall release that person, lest he makes unnecessary enemies for the Tang Family."
"Yes!"
As Elder Lu and Tang Shao spoke, they didn't notice that the other Tang Family elder, who had been coughing just now, in the conference room, lowered his gaze when he heard this. A strange look flashed across his eyes.
…
Xia Pingan was locked up in the cell for half a month.
Half a month later, Xia Pingan was taken out of the cell and interrogated in the Tang Family's Criminal Law Hall. Because he had trespassed into the Tang Family's territory without permission, the facts were irrefutable. According to the Tang Family's laws, those who trespassed into the Tang Family's territory would be locked up for half a month and punished slightly.
The people from the Tang Family's Criminal Law Hall took out something and had Xia Pingan sign and admit his actions. After that, they released Xia Pingan. The Tang Family didn't keep a single piece of the "scrap metal" that Xia Pingan had picked up in the territory. They were quite particular about doing things and returned all of it to him.
Walking out of the Tang Family's castle alone, Xia Pingan raised his head and narrowed his eyes to look at the sun in the sky. He then sniffed at the clothes on his body that were already whooshing and infested with lice. Finally, he glanced at the Tang Family's castle before turning around and striding toward the pawnshop in the city.
However … just as he walked a few streets, Xia Pingan's heart trembled and the hairs on his neck stood on end.
The scorching sun hung high above his head and the streets were bustling with activity. A few large grasshoppers hopped past him. When the surrounding people saw that Xia Pingan was a little unkempt, they all avoided him in disdain.
However, Xia Pingan knew that he was being watched.
Because he had the ability to sense things from afar, his senses were also abnormally sharp. The moment he was being watched, he would feel it.
The hairs on his neck stood on end. The person who was watching him was far stronger than him and had ill intentions towards him.
Xia Pingan's footsteps were normal on the streets, but in his heart, all sorts of thoughts were rapidly running through his mind …
