Chapter 330: Chapter 256: Perfect Leverage
"This small one doesn’t know, I wouldn’t dare to ask too many questions."
Hearing this, Shen Wang’s face turned grave.
The worst thing had happened; the part of his closest kin taken away was obviously targeting him.
Shen Wang slapped the latter unconscious, then walked out.
The Shen Family members were anxious, unclear about why they were summoned.
Upon seeing Shen Wang emerge, they all looked astonished.
"I’m taking you away."
Shen Wang waved his hand, a unique force swept over everyone, knocking them all unconscious and collecting them into the Spiritual Artifact Space.
The cultivation of these family members was merely at the Qi Cultivation Stage, unlike Silver Moon’s high level, making them easy to knock out.
He had no need for everyone to know his secret.
After taking the people away, Shen Wang did not stay, immediately rushing to the central area.
Here was a large manor, completely different in appearance from the barren surrounding mines, with lush green grass and beautiful surroundings.
The Golden Core Cultivator stationed here lived in this place, dressed in golden brocade, about forty years old, slightly plump, with a ruddy complexion and a hint of wealth.
He was Chen Caiyou, the Supervisor from the Celestial Craft Department, responsible for overall accounts and the allocation of various materials, feeling a bit uneasy at this moment.
More than an hour ago, people from the Demon Suppression Department had taken away some prisoners and mentioned the possibility of someone coming to break into the prison.
Indeed, prison break.
Many here in the mine were prisoners; calling it a special prison was not an exaggeration.
"The Shen Family is just a small clan; what powerful cultivators would dare to come here for a prison break?"
Chen Caiyou tapped his finger on the table, muttering, "Better to believe it might happen and be prepared."
He said, "Someone come."
There was no response.
Shen Wang entered.
Seeing this, Chen Caiyou’s pupils constricted.
He couldn’t see through this person.
Moreover, there shouldn’t be strangers here.
He raised his hand, and a magic treasure in the shape of an inkstone appeared, emitting a golden glow, coldly staring at Shen Wang: "You’d better explain your origins."
"Where did the people from the Demon Suppression Department take the Shen Family members?"
Shen Wang directly stated his intention.
"Someone actually came, and so quickly!"
Chen Caiyou was shocked, raising an eyebrow, a fierce expression on his chubby face, as the golden inkstone suddenly enlarged, flying out to smash at Shen Wang.
Bang!
Shen Wang slapped the golden inkstone directly, dissolving the power of the magical treasure with Five-Color Magical Power, his formidable body blocking the treasure’s force, catching it effortlessly, and taking control.
This scene left Chen Caiyou stunned, staring incredulously at the magic treasure in Shen Wang’s hand which had shrunk again, hurriedly forming a seal to summon it, only to see it glisten briefly and become unresponsive.
Cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead as he retreated, panic-stricken: "Are you man or monster!"
"That’s not the question you should be asking; the question is to answer mine."
Shen Wang appeared ghost-like beside him, magic transforming into a large hand to grab him and lift him up.
The colorful Five Elements Magical Power could restrain any force within the Five Elements; the suppression of cultivation and attributes rendered Chen Caiyou’s mana unusable.
His face turned pale, terrified beyond measure, wondering why, as a Golden Core Cultivator, he lacked even the slightest power to resist, what exactly was this eerie force.
Panicked, he said, "You’re from the Shen Family!"
Not hearing what he wanted, Shen Wang directly took the opponent’s inkstone, wielding it like a brick, smashing it down vigorously onto him, crashing him to the ground.
Boom!
The ground quaked, the floor shattered, Chen Caiyou’s Protective Treasure lit up, emitting a barrier, but it was dissipated in an instant.
Shen Wang hit twice with the inkstone, shattering the barrier, leaving Chen Caiyou with a broken head, bleeding profusely.
"If you don’t speak, I’ll beat you to death right here."
Expressionless, Shen Wang continued to swing the inkstone, thud thud thud, as Chen Caiyou’s head was pounded into the ground, continuously wailing, unable to bear it any longer and had to concede.
"I’ll talk, stop hitting me, you’re going to kill me!"
Shen Wang paused, bloodied inkstone in hand, finding it somewhat amusing; this was clearly the other’s treasure, yet it hurt its master.
"It’s Yu Qiong Dian from the Demon Suppression Department who took them away; he went to the State Mansion, the main base of the Demon Suppression Department."
Shen Wang cursed the trouble upon hearing this: "I have no grudge with you; I won’t kill you today, but you were rather unwise, so I’ll be taking your Storage Ring."
Chen Caiyou was left in tears, barely keeping his life, but losing most of his wealth.
Shen Wang took Chen Caiyou’s Storage Ring, tossed the brick-like inkstone aside, sealed him, and adjusted the array to appear as if he were cultivating, preventing any news from leaking out.
"If you deceive me, I’ll come back to claim your life."
Shen Wang left him with a warning.
"In my state, is there any need to deceive you and offend a Great Cultivator like yourself?"
Chen Caiyou lamented miserably.
"That’s good."
Seeing the other didn’t appear to be deceiving him, Shen Wang merely left a trace of power within his being, then quietly departed, rushing to the State Mansion immediately.
Time was pressing; it was best to act ahead of the opponent’s expectations.
On the way, he brought out Silver Moon, saying: "Do you know this person, Yu Qiong Dian?"
"Of course, I know him; he’s the head of the Demon Suppression Department in Jin Province, a level higher in cultivation than me."
Silver Moon said matter-of-factly: "This man is cunning and strategic, very well-connected with the Hundred Refining Sect; why are you asking about him?"
"He took away a part of my kin, all direct relatives."
Shen Wang said in a deep voice.
"What’s your true power, to have determined your kin’s situation so quickly; it can’t just be by chance eavesdropping."
