Chapter 710: Locked Up

EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao was surprised.

He had faced many challenges, and Liu Xingchen had visited a few times, but there had been only two serious occasions when he was asked to accompany him.

The first time was due to the death of Ming Zuoquan, and the second time was because Senior Sister Luo Zhi had framed him.

The former was a legacy disciple of the Hundred Bones Forest, and the latter was an undercover spy from the Heavenly Saint Sect.

Only on these two occasions had he been summoned to the Law Enforcement Hall.

This was the third time. The situation seemed even more severe than the other two times before.

“Are we going right now?” Jiang Hao asked.

“No, before we go, I need to inspect your residence, Junior Brother,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile. “Will that be convenient?”

“Of course.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He felt relieved because he had never taken out Senior Brother Qian Chen’s pills from his storage treasure. He was worried about it already. Even if they checked his storage treasure, he had nothing to worry about. In his normal storage treasure, there was nothing incriminating.

Everything was in his Elemental Spirit Ring. However, he didn’t know how many people knew about the ring. After all, Elder Bai Zhi had given it to him. If she were to tell everyone, it would be a problem.

In the future, he decided to avoid getting involved in such incidents.

“Go inside and take a look,” Liu Xingchen said to the two people behind him.

The two entered the courtyard.

Jiang Hao followed Liu Xingchen into the house too.

This was the second time his house had been searched. The process was the same as before. The two people used a magic treasure to inspect the place without messing up anything.

However, they were both surprised when they entered; the spiritual energy here was exceptionally dense.

Liu Xingchen was amazed. “Your place has changed a lot.” “You’re too kind,” Jiang Hao said awkwardly.

Part of the reason for the change was due to Bai Ye.

Although the spirit herbs had been destroyed, their effects could still last for some time.

He had intended to visit the Hundred Bones Forest today to see how to deal with the destroyed spirit herbs. Retrieving them was impossible but sharing the responsibility would make things easier for the Spirit Herb Garden.

There was no need for compensation for this incident.

“So, Junior Brother Jiang, you seem quite busy lately,” Liu Xingchen said as he sat on a wooden chair.

Jiang Hao observed for a while and noticed that the auras of the three remnants had disappeared.

What had Liu Xingchen done?

His cultivation realm had advanced to the middle stage of the Soul Ascension Realm in just a few months. This was much faster than before.

It was incredible to have ascended two realms in such a short time.

Even though Jiang Hao wanted to progress that fast, it would be extremely difficult. Double advancement was unthinkable.

Even if he mined or cleaned divine artifacts, it would be impossible for him to advance two realms or stages at once.

“I left the sect to go out recently,” Jiang Hao said.

“Really?” Liu Xingchen was surprised. “Did you encounter something?”

Jiang Hao nodded and sighed. “I went through so many hardships and barely made it out alive.”

Liu Xingchen looked at Jiang Hao regretfully.

“It sounds dangerous for you to go out,” Liu Xingchen said. “Shouldn’t you consider becoming a True Disciple? It would be much more convenient for you within the sect.”

Jiang Hao shook his head.

“Have you achieved nothing recently, Junior Brother?” Liu Xingchen asked.

“Nothing. This time, I was captured. I was lucky I was even able to return,” Jiang Hao said.

Liu Xingchen nodded and then narrowed his eyes. “After I returned, I heard something. I heard that none of those who went on the mission with you returned alive. There was one, but she disappeared after you returned. Have you heard anything like that?”

“Other than me, I remember there was Junior Sister Ning Shuang who returned alive. Is she the one who disappeared?” Liu Xingchen nodded.

Jiang Hao sighed but didn’t say anything.

Liu Xingchen didn’t press him further. “This matter concerning Senior Brother

Qian Chen is extremely serious. Everyone involved will be interrogated. Junior Brother Jiang, you didn’t achieve anything this time, but you’ve had accomplishments in the past, so there shouldn’t be any major issues. Just cooperate. Trying to escape will be troublesome. The place you’ll be detained this time isn’t ordinary. Your storage treasure will also be confiscated. So, be prepared, Junior Brother.”

“Not an ordinary place?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

As for the storage treasure, he didn’t care.

“Yes. The matter is too serious this time. The detainees will be concentrated in the dungeons of the Law Enforcement Hall. You’ll be allowed to mix with others in the same dungeon. Senior Brother Qian Chen has done something extreme and completely disregarded the sect.”

“The Law Enforcement Hall is also searching for the person who killed him.” Liu Xingchen looked at Jiang Hao and suddenly smiled. “Junior Brother Jiang, who do you think killed Senior Brother Qian Chen?”

“I don’t know. Who could it be?” Jiang Hao asked.

“We couldn’t find out yet.” Liu Xingchen shook his head. “Recently, there seem to be quite a few people who can’t be traced by the Law Enforcement Hall. Do you think it’s possible that they are working together?” “Surely not.” Jiang Hao pretended to be surprised.

“Who knows?” Liu Xingchen shrugged.

Jiang Hao felt that Liu Xingchen looked somewhat disappointed. Did he find out about that too late?

After some time, the two people came out of Jiang Hao’s house.

They reported that they hadn’t found anything.

They had only looked for what they were instructed to find and didn’t mention any special items.

Jiang Hao didn’t know if the inspection was happening everywhere.

“In that case, let’s go,” Liu Xingchen said.

After some time, Jiang Hao arrived at the dungeons of the Law Enforcement Hall. This place was like an underground city with various passages.

“This place is quite large. Some detainees are there, but they aren’t very powerful people. If they can’t obtain any information and have no other use for them, they are thrown into the Lawless Tower and eventually sent to the mines,” Liu Xingchen said.

Not everyone and every situation required the involvement of the Lawless Tower.

Jiang Hao was placed in a large room with some people in the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even Primordial Spirit Realm. There were roughly thirty people in the room.

‘So many?’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

There were quite a few people connected to Senior Brother Qian Chen.

He scanned the room and noticed that both Qi Yang and Xu Feng were there.

As victims, they seemed to have become subjects of suspicion as well.

“Junior Brother Jiang, be careful. You have an advantage over everyone here. Without clear evidence. they can’t keen von here for too long.” Lill Xingchen

said.

Jiang Hao nodded in gratitude and then entered the large room. He quietly moved to a corner without greeting anyone.

He needed to be cautious. He could appraise them, but he wanted to save that ability for now.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him and turned to look.

It was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Who could it be?
