176: Chapter 175 The Tang Family's Deeds

Gu Han returned to reality, and less than ten minutes had passed there.

Looking down, he saw that the thick hemp rope previously tied to his hands and feet had snapped and was discarded to the side.

A succession of popping sounds came from not far away.

Tang Wuying was cursing as he had Dakan tied up, straddling him and frantically slapping his face.

This kid was quite fast; he actually broke free from his restraints so quickly.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Tang Wuying turned his head and saw Gu Han standing up, hurriedly stopping what he was doing.

"Done? Did you record it?" He casually felt under Dakan's nose, his expression changing slightly.

"Why is he even out of Qi? Did you kill him in the Divine Kingdom?"

"Only dead men tell no tales." Gu Han turned around, his gaze falling on Tang Wuying's face, "They have already identified you internally."

Tang Wuying was stunned, his mouth opening slightly.

"Your Tang Family is also secretly engaged in the shady business of trafficking Divine Lords. You better tell everything you know. Otherwise, you'll die right along with him."

The muscles on Tang Wuying's face twitched a few times. It was so sudden; they had just shared life and death together, and now they were turning hostile.

He seemed to have forgotten that Gu Han in front of him was also a fiend.

Looking at Gu Han's stern gaze, he didn't doubt at all that he would actually be killed.

Tang Wuying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, speaking evasively, "The Tang Family only does 'material selection'. Our Family... didn't directly capture people."

"Material selection?"

Tang Wuying nodded, "It's just helping people scout out suitable skill Divine Lords. We have a network in major schools and trading platforms, and we can check the information of many Awakening Divine Lords. If we find someone whose skills are good or whose functional potential is great, we submit the list."

"Then what? Who do you submit it to?"

"To the superiors." Tang Wuying gritted his teeth, "King Wafan. He is the holder of the largest Divine Lord skill service company. Once the list is handed over, they will send special 'material runners' to capture them. After catching them, they 'nesting doll' them."

"Speak human. What is called a nesting doll?"

"It means using special means to strip away the Divine Kingdom Core of the Divine Lord, forcibly enslaving them, turning them into 'Divine Pets', and then selling them to all parts of the world. Gods everywhere will also bid." Tang Wuying's voice grew quieter as he spoke, "The Tang Family only takes the money for material selection. We didn't capture the people, really not!"

Gu Han stepped forward and grabbed Tang Wuying by the collar.

The tremendous force directly lifted Tang Wuying's entire body into the air.

With a "bang", Gu Han heavily slammed him against the thick tree trunk behind him.

Tang Wuying groaned softly, his back aching sharply from the tree bark, and his feet were already dangling in the air.

"Material selection?" Gu Han leaned closer to him, his tone calm, "Picking and choosing people like believers, selling them to others at marked prices, and you still think your Tang Family is quite innocent, right?"

"I... I didn't participate! That was all done by my dad and my fourth uncle!" Tang Wuying clawed at Gu Han's arm with both hands, struggling desperately.

"Is that so? No wonder you have a contract." Gu Han retorted, "Then have you ever thought that since you've signed a contract now, I can also sell you to the park at any time? What difference is there between you and those Divine Pets now?"

Tang Wuying was stunned in a daze.

Influenced by his Family, he had never regarded those captured Divine Pets as human.

Now he suddenly realized that his current plight had no fundamental difference from those Divine Pets. It was even more miserable.

Gu Han loosened his hand, and Tang Wuying slid down the tree trunk to sit on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with belated terror.

"Your Tang Family commits countless evils; retribution is truly swift." Gu Han looked down at him from above, "Since these people dared to touch you, it shows that in their eyes, your Tang Family is nothing at all. You had better behave yourself now."

Gu Han ignored him further, squatting down to grope around Dakan's corpse.

Soon, he fished out a black card holder from Dakan's trouser pocket, which contained their loading cards inserted inside.

Opening that unfamiliar card to take a look, inside were precisely the three people's handheld devices.

Although Gu Han's handheld device was only a backup machine and didn't store any core data, if it really fell into someone else's hands, it would also be quite a bit of trouble.

Gu Han quickly put away his own handheld device and continued searching.

At Dakan's calf, he actually groped a cold metal object.

It was a black pistol.

Fiddling with it for a moment, he pulled the slide to eject a bullet, checked the magazine and put it back—a total of seven rounds—reloaded, locked the safety, and tucked the gun into his lower back.

After doing this, he pulled out a loading card and stored Dakan's corpse away.

Immediately after, a faint seven-colored fire lit up between Gu Han's eyebrows.

With a thought in his mind, he put the loading card containing Dakan's corpse into the Divine Kingdom.

Gu Han raised an eyebrow. After advancing to a demigod, it was indeed much more convenient.

Previously, bringing things in and out of the Divine Kingdom required using the Divine Kingdom teleportation service point. Now that the divine fire was ignited, it was equivalent to establishing a direct channel between reality and the Divine Kingdom.

As long as there was enough Power Of Faith, item teleportation could be carried out anytime and anywhere.

Gu Han took the opportunity to check the remaining Power Of Faith.

[Divine Lord: Gu Han]

Divine Fire: Seven-Colored Fire

Daily Consumption: 700

Current Divinity Rank: Mortal Grade

Next Grade: 7350 / 1000000

Number of Transcendental Believers: 310,000,000

Daily Collection of Power Of Faith: 30000

Total Available Power Of Faith: 22650

It really burned quite fast; in just a few short minutes back then, nearly a third of it was gone. However, burning faith could also enhance divinity rank, so it wasn't too heartbreaking.

Afterwards, Gu Han threw Tang Wuying's handheld device and loading cards over. Tang Wuying had been staring at him blankly and caught them right away.

"What are you still standing there stunned for? Send a message to your dad."

Holding the handheld device, Tang Wuying was somewhat bewildered, "What should I say?"

"Send him your location and say that you've been kidnapped by people from the 'Fishing Ground Park' under Commander Ang Tai. They want to use you to blackmail the Tang Family, and now tell King Wafan to hurry and send people to rescue you."

Hearing this, Tang Wuying turned pale, "Will... will this work? King Wafan's people coming to the rescue, can this be trusted?"

"You know to be scared too." Gu Han said directly, "Doesn't your Tang Family work for King Wafan? You've already been targeted by Commander Ang Tai. It's best to let these two factions fight directly."

"How could two major factions fight for my sake?" Tang Wuying asked in confusion.

Gu Han couldn't be bothered to explain, turning around and walking away directly.

"They soon will. Leave this place first."
