After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 141: Law Enforcement Hall Starts Arresting People

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Law Enforcement Hall Starts Arresting People

Screams echoed out, shocking Baldie’s comrades.

But they weren’t pushovers either.

In an instant, three magic treasures appeared in their hands and they launched an attack.

Magic flames, piercing sword light, and an invisible giant hand all arrived in a flash.

"Thief, daring to trespass in Qianchen..."

The short man barely began his accusation when he suddenly saw the flames in his hand extinguished.

Then, he felt the same agony that Baldie felt.

Spurt!

Blood burst from his shoulder, and the excruciating pain made him scream out loud.

Beneath the mask, Gu An sighed—it was almost bearable.

It was nothing really.

With a casual slap, he sent the man crashing to the ground, unable to make a sound.

Meanwhile, a flying sword zoomed towards him, but Gu An turned his head to dodge.

A flash of lightning streaked past.

The tall, skinny man appeared behind Gu An like a bolt of lightning, his dagger already at Gu An’s neck.

With a sinister smile on his face, he said, "Too slow to react, die now."

Snap!

At the moment the dagger was about to strike, the blade broke with a snap.

Gu An pinched the dagger between his thumb and forefinger, casually crushing the magic treasure.

Then he turned to face his adversary.

The next moment.

A fist occupied the man’s entire world.

Boom!

Blood mixed with teeth scattered about.

Gu An slightly looked up, saw the massive hand hadn’t come down, and then turned to see that its owner was already fleeing.

The howling wind roared.

Boom!!!

The fleeing man was thrown violently to the ground, finally landing next to Baldie and the others.

"I came with sincerity, and I hope my junior brothers can be generous," Gu An said indifferently.

"Yes, of course," Baldie said in terror.

In the end, Gu An obtained two hundred and thirty-five spirit stones.

Added to his own and those offered by others, the total was four hundred and twenty spirit stones.

Now that he was in the Inner Sect, he had more spirit stones.

Sadly, not much merit.

With that, Gu An left.

Watching him leave, Baldie was furious: "Let’s go to the Law Enforcement Hall. Does he really think the sect has no rules?

Thinking he can just receive spirit stones without doing anything, what a daydream."

They could do such things, but if others dared to do the same to them, it was unthinkable.

"Don’t bother healing, just go to the Law Enforcement Hall like this. Let’s see how he remains arrogant when we make a big deal out of this."

...

Gu An arrived at the Iron Heart Wood management office.

Looking at the empty space, he lightly tapped the desk.

Finally, with a sigh, he placed fifty spirit stones on it.

With that, he turned and left.

Everyone was pitiable after all, only bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Baldie was like that, and so was he.

Baldie feared him, and he feared the Law Enforcement Hall and people like Ren Yinghua.

Actually, revealing his cultivation was not a big deal—it was only mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

No big deal.

It wasn’t worth wearing a mask.

Only, he was worried that Ren Yinghua might become cautious, reducing his time to develop.

And he feared the Law Enforcement Hall because he dared not kill people recklessly.

Although Chu Meng said it was a matter of probability, he didn’t necessarily have good luck.

So he chose not to gamble.

That’s why things ended up this way.

In the end, he felt that he could handle it.

It wasn’t a big deal.

Afterward, he continued to the night logging yard to improve his numbers.

It was still not dawn.

As Gu An was logging, suddenly a bell rang.

He was somewhat surprised.

"They are quite early, what could it be?"

At that, Yang Qi also rushed over: "Senior Brother, there’s trouble."

"What’s happened?" Gu An asked.

"I just heard about it, lots of people from the Law Enforcement Hall are here," said Yang Qi with some worry, "I heard they’re heading our way. The management Senior Brother told us to finish quickly and each go our separate ways, we should leave through the back mountain."

Gu An was exceptionally alarmed; the Law Enforcement Hall coming for a strict investigation just for logging?

But thinking about it, it wasn’t impossible, as this place didn’t comply with the sect rules.

But just as everyone was about to leave through the back mountain, beams of light descended from above.

Right after, a majestic voice commanded: "Everyone line up properly, take out your identity tokens and descend the mountain using the main road. Those who violate will be taken to jail."

At that moment, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Is the investigation that strict?

Gu An thought so as well.

He asked Yang Qi, "Has it been like this before?"

"No, I don’t know if something happened again in the Outer Sect," Yang Qi said.

Gu An did not speak. Would the Outer Sect have another incident?

It’s highly unlikely.

Then why have people from the Law Enforcement Team suddenly arrived?

To seal this place?

But to seal it, why do they need to check everyone’s identity token for no reason?

Gu An was puzzled, but still followed the line to wait for the inspection.

The process was slow, and it seemed that they were asking questions to each person while checking identities.

"It doesn’t look like they are here for the logging yard; it seems more like they are here to catch a suspect," Yang Qi said behind Gu An.

Hearing this, Gu An was startled.

Catch a suspect.

Does it have anything to do with me?

After all, he had just fought with someone last night, causing serious injury.

But if it were related, they could have come straight for him, so why the need to ask everyone?

Gu An was clueless, but he dared not make any rash moves.

He could only comply.

Soon, it was his turn.

"Next."

Gu An walked over and presented his identity token.

The person across looked down at the token.

"Name."

"Gu An."

"What were you doing last night?"

"Logging."

"And yesterday afternoon?"

"At my residence." ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Does anyone vouch for your testimony?"

"No."

Hearing this, the man from the Law Enforcement Hall looked up at Gu An and said, "You’re lying."

Gu An reasonably showed his confusion.

But the man from the Law Enforcement Hall did not say more after returning the token and continued:

"You are not permitted to leave the Qianchen Peak area for the next three days."

"Yes." Gu An nodded as he took his token back.

And then he quickly left.

After a while, Yang Qi also came down.

Gu An noticed that he, too, was forbidden to leave.

So it seemed to be a general measure?

So, what exactly happened?

Filled with doubts, Gu An could only go where there were more people.

Unfortunately, it was still early in the day.

And as people began to wake up, Gu An found that people from the Law Enforcement Hall had arrived too.

Especially at the teahouse, which looked like an inn he had seen yesterday.

Everyone there was taken away.

This sudden development baffled many.

By noon, Gu An went to the Iron Heart Wood Logging Ground and found that Junior Sister Bai Qing wasn’t there.

He heard she had been taken away and even detained by the Law Enforcement Hall.

Seeing this, Gu An felt somewhat uneasy.

Junior Sister Bai Qing, that teahouse...

Both were in trouble.

It could very likely be Baldie.

Did they investigate because he had severely injured Baldie?

But isn’t this reaction a bit severe?

Was he so unlucky to encounter an upright brother or sister?

Gu An did not go logging and instead went back to his residence; the night logging yard was also temporarily closed.

The next afternoon.

Gu An still sat in the Spiritual Treasure Vault.

Today, Yang Qi rushed over.

He said excitedly, "Senior Brother, I found out."

Gu An was quite curious, "What is it?"

"Four Inner Sect Disciples have been murdered," Yang Qi said with shock,

"Their methods were extremely brutal.

Their arms crushed, and their heads even sliced off.

The Law Enforcement Hall found it quickly, and Brother Jiang Heng from the Law Enforcement Hall took over the case.

It is said that there have been no miscarriages of justice under his watch.

Many people have already been taken away.

Moreover, those related to the case will soon be investigated and covertly interrogated.

It is said that under his techniques, no suspects will escape detection."
