Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1258: Chapter 416: Secluded Cultivation Breakthrough, A Botched Arrest, Let Your Superior Come [Subscription Requested!]

Who would have thought that such an introduction would cause such a big incident!

“Chu Yan’er and her group of seven have major issues, they have even alerted the Lord. Chu Yan’er has already been captured at the Yuan Mansion, and is now held in the main hall of the Prison Department. The Minister has just issued an order for us to quickly detain the remaining six.”

This was what Hou Ming said when he gathered them in the Prison Department.

At this moment, how could Xiang Liang not feel anxious!

However anxious he was, he dared not ask any questions at this moment and could only follow behind Hou Ming. Quickly, a group of Prison Warden reached the rented house of Chu Yan’er’s group of seven.

“Surround it!”

Although the houses in the North Fifth District were specifically for outsiders to rent, they were still built according to the regulations of other districts, considering their future use when the city expands. All houses measured 10 meters by 10 meters.

At Hou Ming’s command, over a hundred Cold Resistance Level Prison Warden immediately spread out, some jumping onto the courtyard wall, some pushing open the door, others going around the back of the house, with some even leaping onto the second floor, quickly surrounding the entire building tightly.

“Chu Dongning, Chen Qing, He Yang, Zhu Dong, Chen Yu, Chen Huang, your companion Chu Yan’er attempted unlawful acts within the Inner City and has been personally captured by Director Yuan of the Governance Department. I, the Chief of Punishment, urge you six to surrender immediately and follow me to the Prison Department. As long as you honestly explain your origins and purpose, I will not make things difficult for you!”

After Hou Ming finished speaking, he waved his hand to all the Prison Warden.

*Whoosh…*

All one hundred and fifty Prison Warden, including Xiang Liang, swiftly drew the Divine Arm Bow from their backs, nocked their arrows, and pulled the bowstring, aiming inside the house.

*Swish…*

“Personally captured by Director Yuan?”

“This means they’re serious.”

“There are 150 Prison Warden here, all at the Cold Resistance Level!”

“Look at the leading Chief of Punishment, Hou Ming. It’s said that his strength is at least at 24 manes, unmatched in the entire North Fifth District!”

“Those 23 Silver Order Prison Warden also mostly have strength above 8 manes.”

“There are skilled Iron Order Prison Guards with 8 manes too!”

With over 150 Prison Warden nocking arrows and ready like this, it immediately caused the onlookers to express shock repeatedly.

These Cold Resistance Level Prison Warden from the North Fifth District mostly come from various village-level camps, and unlike the town citizens, to them, this scene was already quite terrifying.

“The seven of us are from a small place in the Outer Domain, staying in Xia City for less than a month. If Great Xia wants to capture people without reason, fine, but to slander us as well, so this is what your camp means by being open to outsiders? Ridiculous!”

A somewhat angry middle-aged man’s voice suddenly came from inside the house.

Hearing this, Hou Ming immediately realized that the other party was deliberately speaking for everyone else to hear, and his expression instantly darkened.

“If it’s a wrongful capture or not, you six just need to come to the Prison Department for a confrontation. In front of everyone, it’s not that easy for Hou Ming to slander you.”

“Heh, once we’re in the Prison Department, will we even have a chance to defend ourselves?”

“Fire arrows to break the door!”

Hou Ming realized he could no longer allow the other side to continue, so he simply ordered his subordinates to fire arrows to break the door.

*Bang…*

Hundreds of iron arrows were fired, collapsing the mansion’s main door instantly.

“All Silver Order Prison Warden, come in with me to capture them!”

Thinking of Xia Chuan’s recent words that the six had hidden their strength, Hou Ming didn’t let everyone charge in at once but ordered the 23 Silver Order Prison Warden to follow him in first.

He drew his long knife and rushed in, leading the 23 men who closely followed.

*Clang…*

The main door smashed open, they stormed into the inner chamber, but Hou Ming and the 23 Silver Order Prison Warden were all stunned instantly.

The room was empty, not a single person in sight.

“No one?”

“They were just speaking, how did they suddenly disappear?”
