Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 434 Trial

The next morning.

Tang San had just opened his sleepy eyes when he helplessly patted Xiao Wu's head: "We prepared so much fine wine last night, and you still haven't filled your stomach?"

"This is your punishment!" Xiao Wu demonstrated to Tang San the accuracy of the statement that rabbits are very vengeful creatures, still holding a grudge against Gu Yuena's "provocation" yesterday.

"Alright, I accept the punishment. You can deal with it yourself." Tang San stretched and leaned against the headboard, sensing the rhythm of Xiao Wu's blood and qi. He said, "Her internal organs are almost at the Divine Treasury level, right?"

"Hmm." Xiao Wu swayed her waist and said proudly, "That's right, don't you know who I am? I'm the exceptionally talented Xiao Wu, and my Jade Bone Golden Skin Divine Treasure Technique is about to be perfected, so you'd better work hard."

"Like this first thing in the morning, aren't you ashamed?" Guangling was awakened by the sound of the two cosmic paths colliding. He rubbed his eyes and said speechlessly.

"that is."

"How shameless."

Ning Rongrong and Huo Wu also came to their senses and stared speechlessly at the scene. However, they were not to be outdone and joined in, sharing the path of Qi and Blood cultivation.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that the four women and one man leisurely finished washing up and getting dressed.

"Yesterday, the Sun Moon Empire sent fourteen guys to launch a night raid. We ignored them, is that okay?" Xiao Wu was a little worried about this. Last night, she was fully focused on cultivating her Qi and blood, so she didn't use her spiritual power to investigate and didn't know what the situation was like outside.

"It's alright, they've all been captured." Tang San stretched and led the group to the rooftop of Soul Sea City at a speed beyond the sight of ordinary people. They began to cultivate the Cosmic Meditation Method, directly absorbing the radiance of the great sun to temper their spirit.

Apart from Tang San, the women, with the improvement of their cultivation and the enhancement of their physical bodies, can now also directly absorb the light of the Great Sun to cultivate their spiritual power. When their essence, energy, and spirit all reach a certain level in the future, they will also be able to transform their souls into primordial spirits and forge an immortal foundation.

After everyone finished their cultivation, Marshal Ge Long personally came over and invited Tang San and the others to interrogate the prisoners who had participated in the night raid the previous night.

Tang San and the others' cultivation naturally caught Ge Long's attention, but he dared not ask too many questions or investigate further. Not to mention that their various self-created soul skills were secrets, the sheer strength of the other party made it impossible for others to steal their skills. Even if they did steal them, they could only keep them hidden and could not use them openly, otherwise they would be making enemies of the entire Spirit Hall.

When Tang San arrived at the courtroom, Luo Qiu and the thirteen Dark Night Elves had silver belts tied around their waists, their hands were bound, and their soul power was sealed.

Those belts, called Soul Sealing Belts, were a type of soul tool that the Spirit Hall, with the help of Tang San and Guang Ling, jointly researched and manufactured after gaining a certain understanding of the human body's meridians. They were designed to block the flow of soul power within the meridians.

Of course, because the number is still relatively small, only powerful Soul Masters are qualified to use this belt. Because it is made of precious minerals such as deep-sea silver and moon crystal, even a peerless Douluo would find it difficult to break. Therefore, Luo Qiu, who is level 98, could not break free in a short time.

The treatment of those Sun Moon Army prisoners was much more brutal. They would simply punch them in the abdomen, or sever their tendons in their hands or feet, so that their soul power could not circulate smoothly. That could also be called sealing their soul power. Whether they could "unseal" it in the future depended entirely on luck.

Golong invited Tang San and the others to take their seats, then walked to the head seat himself, sat down, and said, "Now that everyone is here, let the trial begin."

"I, the Marshal, will be responsible for taking notes. I will trouble you all to conduct the interrogation."

Once Goron had taken out paper and pen, Xue Beng asked the first question: "What's your name? Who are you in the Sun Moon Empire? What's your purpose in coming here?"

The question was simple and clear, but Luo Qiu remained silent, completely unconcerned about the avalanche. His gaze swept over the others, lingering on Tang San for a considerable time.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Xue Beng felt a little embarrassed and was about to get angry when Zhu Zhuqing interrupted him, saying, "It's okay if you don't answer the question just now. You can change your name, forge your identity, and as for your purpose, it's nothing more than to conquer Soul Sea City and investigate our situation..."

Luo Qiu looked at Zhu Zhuqing, whose figure and personality were completely mismatched, with some surprise, and laughed: "I originally thought you were just a pretty face, but I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. However, it also reveals a piece of information: it seems that you two are not of one mind."

"We didn't intend to hide anything," Zhu Zhuqing said frankly. After all, the four major forces here—Heaven Dou, New Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall—were only temporarily united. She didn't mind being close to the Spirit Hall, represented by Tang San, but that only applied to herself and didn't include the spirit masters she brought with her.

This is something anyone can see; there's no point in hiding it.

"Then you really have to thank the Sun Moon Empire. If it weren't for us, you might still be fighting each other, with each country killing each other," Luo Qiu said with a smile.

"That's not the same thing." Ning Fengzhi shook his head, his eyes sharp. "Let's talk about how many powerful figures the Sun Moon Empire still has, so you might be able to spare your life."

"There are two more level 98s, but they are on the Sun Moon Continent and didn't come with us. Currently, among the powerful individuals who have landed on the Douluo Continent, I am the only Title Douluo left. The rest..."

Luo Qiu glanced at Tang San, who was brewing goji berries and seemed completely unconcerned about the trial, and smiled, "...He was probably wiped out by this handsome young man."

Hu Liena frowned and asked, "Don't you care about their lives?"

"Why should we care? My relationship with the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire is merely one of cooperation," Luo Qiu said bluntly. "If any of you can wrest the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation from his hands and find a suitable place for our Moonlit Elf race to live, we wouldn't mind switching sides."

"Profit above all else?" Tang San brewed the goji berries, took a sip, and said in a calm tone, "It's human nature to seek profit and avoid harm, but most of the enemy troops who surrender are not given important positions. Those in power are always suspicious. They may betray their partners today, but they might stab us in the back tomorrow... Any normal person would have this thought and take precautions."

"That depends on whether the leaders are enlightened." Luo Qiu smiled slightly, completely unafraid, which made Golong, Xue Beng and others frown.

Isn't this a veiled criticism of the monarch?

"What a sharp-tongued bandit!" Avalanche sneered, then said to Marshal Goron, "No need for trial, just drag him out and behead him."

However, Goron ignored him and told Avalanche to calm down. The interrogation had only just begun. If it ended like this, what was the point of all these people gathering together?

He could have killed those guys right from the start.
