Chapter 168 - 158
Dive into Chapter 168 of "Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming": âOnce I capture him and have interrogated him, and found more evidence, of course, he... Find out more!
âOnce I capture him and have interrogated him, and found more evidence, of course, he will be punished.â
In his past life, during an era of the rule of law, murder was prohibited.
Even though his soul had transmigrated to the Cultivation World, where the strong prevail, as a Guardian God, he also could not kill indiscriminately.
Although he wasnât a savior or a champion of the weak, he would not kill someone without definitive evidence.
He still needed to capture and interrogate that person.
If he was indeed as Ye Tian suspected, this person definitely could not be left alive, lest he become a disgrace to the Cultivation World.
âYoung General Ye, hurry and capture this person.
I want to punish him personallyâbeat him to death,â Princess Long Feifeng demanded fiercely, glaring at the Magical Treasure.
It was this fortune-telling Taoist who had made her lose face so greatly today, and in front of the man she fancied, no less.
She, a princess who held herself in such high regard, had never known such humiliation.
âPrincess, Iâm afraid you canât kill him.
He has the cultivation of a Golden Core, and the princess does not currently have the power to kill him.
Besides, he is inside that Magical Treasure, and right now I am unable to extract him.
However, this person wonât be able to escape.
Rest assured, Iâll interrogate and then punish him,â Ye Tian said with a cold expression as he looked at Long Feifeng.
He spoke with seeming respect to the barbaric princess, but he did not really take her seriously.
âYoung General YeâŚâ
Long Feifeng wanted to argue further, but Ye Tian stopped her with an authoritative tone:
âPrincess, you must have sneaked out, havenât you?
Please come with me.
I will have someone escort you back home.â
âNo, Young General, I want to follow you.â Long Feifeng had finally found Ye Tian and was eager to stay by his side.
How could she miss this opportunity, which was one of the reasons she came out?
âPrincess, I have a mission, and with your power, there is really no need for you to loiter here.
Iâm afraid I donât have the time to protect you.
Should you come to harm, I couldnât bear the Kingâs blame.â
âI canât go back.
I am as powerful as this lady by your side.
Why can she be with you, and I cannot?â
âPrincess, you are aware of the Immortal Sectâs grand competition, arenât you?
Itâs not that this Junior Sister is following me; she has a master, and her safety is guaranteed by her master.
Your safety, on the other hand, I cannot ensure, as I am on a mission.â
âNo, I will not go.â
âThatâs not up to you, Princess.
I apologize, but if you do not wish to return, I must have you forcibly escorted back.â
âYou dare?
I will tell the King to punish you!â
âThe King understands my intentions and will not blame me.
I am here on a mission assigned by the King himself.
You cannot act rashly, Princess.â
Ye Tian replied impatiently after saying this.
No matter how much he explained, the princess wouldnât listen, so he had no choice but to restrict her forcefully.
With a wave of his sleeve, Long Feifeng was bound by Spiritual Power, unable to walk, though she could still speak.
âYe Tian, how dare youâŚâ
âI have offended you, Princess.â
âYouâŚâ
However, Ye Tian turned to a palace maid who was standing off to the side, head lowered, and said:
âWhy arenât you hurrying to pick up the Princess?
After I return, I will have someone send you back.â
âYes.â
The palace maid, at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, found it easy to support someone with Spiritual Energy.
After being caught so precariously just now, she was frightened at how close she had come to being taken away.
She was not a princess, merely a palace maid.
If anything happened to the princess, she would not only lose her life but also potentially cause her entire family to perish.
As a confidante of the princess, she had always supported her excursions without informing the King or Empress.
But now that they were in such danger, she was scared and obediently carried the princess.
âPalace maid, let me down.â
âPrincess, the Spiritual Power used by the Young General to bind you is beyond me.
We should listen to the Young General and return to the palace.â
âAre you my person or his?
Do you dare to disobey my orders?
Iâll punish you when we get back.â
âPrincess, even if you punish me, I must ensure your safety and return you to the Imperial Palace.
If you come to any harm, our entire family wonât survive.
Please donât make things difficult for me.â
âYou treacherous wretch!â
Frustrated and unable to move, Long Feifeng could only spit out words stuck in her throat as she glared at the palace maid.
She also shot a glance at Ye Tian and the woman walking beside him.
Jealousy and resentment stirred within her as she glared at the woman next to Ye Tian.
âMy lord, we will pitch our tents here and will not follow you any further.
We hope youâll keep your promise.â
The Earls and Viscounts had come out to the forest to reside there, and now they chose not to follow him.
âAlright, if you stay here, take care of your safety.
Recently, a group of hidden scourges have emerged.
Be careful.â
âMr.
Ye, what do you mean by that?â
âSome days ago, a terrifying organization appeared, consisting of foreigners like you, presumably from a different country.
We suspect the organization has sinister motives, so please be vigilant.â
âCan you describe what they look like?â
âThey look similar to the people from our Huxia Country, a bit shorter.
Their dress is somewhat different.
The most important thing to note is that they have a spell of invisibility; ordinary people cannot see them.â
âYoung General, could you sell us that mirror Magical Treasure?â
âIâll give it to you,â Ye Tian said generously, noting they had settled in the forest and likely had little wealth.
He wanted to ensure that they could identify any danger they faced and not mistake it for someone from the Cultivation World, which could potentially lead to misunderstandings between nations.
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony.
Should you ever need anything from the Earls, we will do our utmost to assist.â
âAlright.â
Ye Tian handed the mirror to the Earl and, waving his hand, departed the forested area with Yan Weiwei.
âSenior Brother, that Magical Treasure you put in your Storage Bag, is that Taoist really in there?â
âYes, I donât know how he managed to enter the Magical Treasure.
Currently, I donât know how to extract him, but when I have some free time, Iâll study it.
He wonât be able to escape.â
Ye Tian was confident.
His Heaven-Earth Net tightly surrounded that Magical Treasure, not even a mosquito could escape, much less a person could fly out of the palm of his hand.
âSenior Brother, why do you suspect that Taoist to be the source of the plague?â
âI havenât caught him for interrogation yet; heâs just a suspect.
Iâve been assigned to investigate those plague travesties, and Iâve sensed a kind of Qi there, similar to the one on Cai Xiangxiang.
Moreover, the Qi on that Taoist just now was exactly the same.â
Ye Tian explained as they walked out of the forest.
