Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 168 Tianyao Federation Cosmic Law

Really? !
Looking at the silver note in Zhuo Xiu's hand, Yan Lang, who had experienced a lot, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

One hundred thousand taels of snowflake-patterned silver were enough for him to enjoy for most of his life.

After reacting, he tilted his head to look at the people around him and said in a low voice: "Bring it over and have a look."

The burly man strode forward, took the silver note from Zhuo Xiu's hand, and handed it to Yan Lang.

Looking at the genuine silver bills, Yan Lang's cheeks trembled slightly, his scar twisted like a centipede, and his eyes were as hot as fire.

He looked down at the person in his hand, and at that moment, uncontrollable greed rushed into his mind.

He didn't expect that these people in front of him were worth so much money.

This woman took out one hundred thousand taels of snowflake-patterned silver without blinking an eye. I'm afraid the identities and origins of these people are shocking.

Ordinary royal bloodlines may not be worth this price.

After doing this, he can completely retire and return to the mountains, no longer having to live on the edge of a knife.

For a moment, Yan Lang was almost stunned. Looking at the banknotes in front of him, his mind was filled with thoughts of a worry-free life in the future.

"Let go."

Zhuo Xiu suppressed her anger and spoke up to remind him.

"I changed my mind."

Yan Lang came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said tentatively:
"I want one... one million, one million taels of gold!"

Before he finished speaking, the people behind Yan Lang took a deep breath.

One million taels of gold and a full ten million taels of silver were enough for them to spend ten lifetimes enjoying all the wealth and glory in the world.

"I don't have that much money on me right now. As long as you release the person and give me two days, I can give it to you."

Hearing this, Zhuo Xiu became even angrier, but still agreed without hesitation.

After all, the so-called gold and silver are nothing compared to a federal citizen and her own future career.

Such a straightforward attitude made Yan Lang's heart move, and for a moment he felt that the offer was too low.

Driven by his rapidly expanding greed, he changed his words again:

"I have six people in my hands now, each of whom has one million taels of gold. Today I will return two of them to you first."

Then, he took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I'll give you two days to collect six million taels of gold notes. If you're still here after two days, you give me the gold notes and I'll return the remaining four people to you, and we'll be even."

Zhuo Xiu was shocked and angry at Yan Lang's greed. Just as she was about to speak, a curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, flashing a dazzling red light.

[Galaxy No. 1 has received your alarm message. The fastest armed reinforcement will arrive in about five hours.]

[During these five hours, the lives and safety of our Federation citizens cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, based on comprehensive judgment, as the only person with combat experience on the scene, you are the best candidate to handle the emergency.]

[Corporal Zhuo Xiu, according to the information, you once belonged to the battle sequence of the Fifth Division of the Third Corps of our Federation, and you are an outstanding soldier of our Tianyao Federation. Judging from the indigenous strength of Dong'an Star, your ability is fully sufficient to handle the current situation. Are you willing to take on this responsibility? ]

Zhuo Xiu reacted and looked up at Yan Lang and others in the distance, his eyes filled with uncontrollable murderous intent.

This man's insatiable greed had pushed her patience to its limit.

Looking at the light screen in front of him, Zhuo Xiu chose to agree without any hesitation.

[Corporal Zhuo Xiu, thank you for your bravery and fearlessness. According to the provisions of the Tianyao Federation Space Law Emergency Response Plan, your military rank will be temporarily restored, temporary law enforcement authority will be enabled, and military standard equipment authority will be unlocked. ]

[The digital armor has been sent to your space code, please check it immediately. 】

[Please ensure the safety of the hostages. The Federation is with you. 】

As the last piece of information flashed by, Zhuo Xiu's expression changed and she suddenly raised her hand. An illusory light and shadow emerged from the void and fell on her body.

Then the light and shadow condensed instantly and turned into a suit of silver-white armor, completely wrapping Zhuo Xiu.

Such a weird scene made Yan Lang lose his mind instantly and he had no idea what was going on. The three people standing behind him were even more unbearable and were completely stunned at this moment.

Zhuo Xiu flipped his hand, took out a ball and threw it into the air.

bang——

As a spark flashed, invisible ripples spread instantly, covering an area of ​​hundreds of feet.

Chu Zheng, squatting among the shadows of the trees, felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer on the back of his head. A large amount of chaotic information poured into his mind, causing his soul to suffer an indescribable shock. His thoughts were in disorder and he was paralyzed for a moment.

By the time he reacted, the situation had changed drastically.

The six people who were captured by Yan Lang and his men had all escaped and were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner.

In front of the mountain pass, only Zhuo Xiu, who was wearing silver-white armor, and Yan Lang and four others were left.

Yan Lang looked at his empty palm with a pale face. In the instant just now, he had no idea what was going on. When he came to his senses, the person in his hand had disappeared.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng's expression suddenly froze, and he immediately opened his spiritual eyes and looked at Zhuo Xiu.

The information on the panel quickly entered his mind.

[Tianyao Ares Series Armor (Level 3000): ​​The third generation modified version of the Tianyao Federation Ares Series, military standard equipment, flight speed km/h, with intermediate firepower deployment, equipped with four Giant God II explosive bombs, can complete the clearing of an area with a radius of kilometers alone. (Details)]

Looking at the information given by the panel, Chu Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

What surprised him was not the power of the armor, but the way Zhuo Xiu obtained the armor.

If Zhuo Xiu had this set of armor from the beginning, she would not have wasted so much time with Yan Lang and his men, and even offered silver notes in an attempt to negotiate.

Zhuo Xiu must have just obtained this set of Tianyao War God series armor through some means.

To deliver such a set of armor across the universe in an instant, even the strong ones in the Tongxuan Secret Realm would not be able to do it.

"You have violated Article 3 of Volume 1 of the Tianyao Federation's Universe Law. You have committed an unforgivable crime against the citizens of our Federation and have seriously threatened the lives and safety of the citizens of our Federation. I, Zhuo Xiu, sentence the four of you to death in accordance with the law."

With the armor approaching, Zhuo Xiu's aura was completely different from before. The electronic synthesized sound coming from the armor was cold and ruthless.

She turned her palm slightly, and a silver-white pistol appeared in her hand.

Yan Lang didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed the 100,000 taels of silver note and turned around to flee. His internal energy surged out and his figure was like a swallow treading on the clouds. He could take a step of dozens of feet and in the blink of an eye he had escaped into the dense forest and disappeared completely without a trace.

The remaining three people also reacted and started to flee hurriedly, regretting that their parents had not given them two more legs.

This kind of monster was beyond their understanding, and they had no courage to resist at all.

Zhuo Xiu did not pursue them. A red light flashed on his visor, locking onto a few people, and then fired four shots into the air.

After firing the gun, she did not look at the result. She directly removed her armor and turned around to wake up the six unconscious passengers.

Soon, the six people woke up one after another. They all saw the video data from Zhuo Xiu's chip. Their first reaction was not fear, but excitement and regret. They rarely had the opportunity to experience the thrill of this life-and-death adventure. Unfortunately, they were still in a coma at the time and had no way to experience the mystery in person.

In response to this, Zhuo Xiu could only sigh and return to the inn with a few people.

Only after Zhuo Xiu and his companions had gone far away did Chu Zheng move and chase in the direction Yan Lang had fled.

Soon, he followed the clues and found Yan Lang.

Yan Lang fell under an ancient tree that was so thick that it took three people to hug it. His head had disappeared without a trace, and the broken end of his neck was charred black, as if it had been roasted by high temperature, without a trace of blood seeping out.

In his palm, he was still tightly grasping the stack of banknotes.

The deaths of Yan Lang and others were truly their own fault. How could they have a good ending when they were so greedy?

In fact, if he had simply chosen to take the banknotes and leave, Zhuo Xiu would probably not have intended to chase them down.

However, with Chu Zheng behind them, even if they knew when to stop and left immediately, they would have no chance of survival tonight and their death was inevitable.

Chu Zheng walked forward, pried open his fingers, counted the silver bills, and then began to search the corpse.

Soon, he had some gains, a stack of silver bills, some small change, totaling several thousand taels of silver. In addition, there were two martial arts secrets books.

Chu Zheng took a glance at it and threw it aside.

Zero-level martial arts have no potential at all. With his current eyesight, he can see the end of it at a glance. There is nothing good about it.

After confirming that nothing was missed, Chu Zheng stood up and left. As for helping Yan Lang collect the bodies, he had no intention of doing so at all.

There are many wild wolves in the mountains and forests, so this ending is suitable for Yanlang.

Chu Zheng did not plan to look for the bodies of the other three people. Yan Lang only had this much wealth, and as for the rest of them, one could imagine what would happen to them. There was no need to waste energy on that.

…………

…………

The next morning.

The rising sun sweeps away the chill of the night; the leaves on the treetops sparkle with morning dew, full of vitality.

Peace Inn.

"I'm very sorry, fellow passengers, this sightseeing tour has to end early."

Zhuo Xiu stood in front of many passengers, looking apologetic:
"Because of my negligence, you are all in danger. Even your central nervous system has been damaged to varying degrees because of the drugs. I am extremely sorry."

"After you go back, you can treat yourself and then send the payment receipt from the medical center to my personal email. My Xinghe Travel Agency will reimburse you for the medical expenses in full, and the travel expenses will also be fully refunded."

In this regard, the reactions of many passengers varied. Some were still unsatisfied, some were dissatisfied, but there were also some who were scared and prepared to leave this troubled place.

After all, many people still attach great importance to their own safety, and their own life is more important than anything else.

Not everyone is willing to risk their life for excitement.

This accident also had a huge impact on Zhuo Xiu.

Although these passengers did not suffer any substantial harm, the anesthetics used in this era have great side effects on the human body. They can seriously damage the central nervous system and even cause cognitive impairment.

Under her leadership, these tourists suffered injuries. Even if she tried her best to save them and no irreversible consequences occurred, her career as a tour guide would have suffered a serious blow.

The group of people left the inn in a mighty procession.

Zhuo Xiu raised his head, looked around, and suddenly his expression was stunned.

In the corner of a busy long street, there was a wonton stall, and sitting on the street, there was a young man who left a deep impression on her.

Noticing the gaze, Chu Zheng put down the bowl in his hand, met Zhuo Xiu's gaze, and nodded with a smile.

The two looked at each other across the street in silence for a long time.

During this period, Zhuo Xiu looked at the armor still stored in her space several times, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to give up.

After all, this young man had never provoked her. Even if he had killed someone, it should be judged by the local natives.

Her sanctions now inevitably seem like a vent of anger.

She had no reason to attack this young man until he harmed any federal citizen.

She didn't look at him any more, turned around and led a group of passengers out of Yuncao City and started her return journey.

Chu Zheng watched the group disappear from his sight, picked up the bowl, drank the wontons in it, then stood up and left.

At first he didn't quite understand why Yan Lang had provoked Zhuo Xiu. It was only after he returned yesterday and dealt with You Dawu's body that he realized it.

Most likely it was because of the jade ring. As fate would have it, Zhuo Xiu's troubles were caused by him.

Chu Zheng did not think that this was his problem. Zhuo Xiu wanted to buy the ring herself, which was beyond his control.

I can only say that this incident is too coincidental.

Chu Zheng slowly left the city, found a Feng Shui treasured site, and invited several skilled craftsmen to build a luxurious cenotaph for the Mother of Tree Roots, as a way of putting an end to his obsession.

He was short of money before, but now he has some spare money and can take care of these trivial matters.

He went back to check on the old house at Shugen, but there was only a pile of ashes left and nothing could be found.

Chu Zhengchen had already quit Fukang's job. He had originally been working there just to make a living, but now he doesn't have to waste his time there anymore.

Chu Zheng stayed in the mountains for more than half a month until the cenotaph was completely repaired. He also passed the 100-day barrier and entered the spiritual transformation realm.

This time when he stepped into the spiritual transformation, he felt completely different. His strength was much weaker, several times weaker than when he was in the Cang Yun Realm.

The changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth still have a significant impact on the performance of cultivation. A true dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.

In such a place with barren spiritual energy, even if Chu Zheng practiced Qi until death, his cultivation would not necessarily be very strong, unless he used the method of absorbing Qi and, over time, absorbed the entire star dry.

However, the sin of killing involved is too serious.

Chu Zheng slowly walked back to Yuncao City.

Compared to when he left, there have been a lot of changes in front of the city gate. There are several portraits hanging there, all of which are wanted criminals who have recently appeared.

One of the portraits was exactly the appearance of a tree root.

"The keeper of the Yuanfeng Mausoleum was named Shu Gen. He stole from the mausoleum and absconded..."

Chu Zheng glanced at the wanted poster and stopped at the last line of bounty, frowning slightly:
"How come it's only one hundred taels?"
