230: Chapter 230 The Punisher Army

"Even though I had anticipated it, the contents of this qiankun bag are truly beyond imagination..."

Upon seeing the contents of Lei Wanjun's qiankun bag, Chen Moxuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, sighing from the bottom of his heart at the unfathomable and profound foundation of a Martial Dao Profound Saint.

As far as Chen Moxuan's current limited knowledge was concerned, any item he could recognize in the bag would have a starting price of over ten million if placed on the black market.

Furthermore, there was a large pile of rare items in the bag that Chen Moxuan couldn't even name.

Setting aside those rare natural treasures and Spirit Treasures for a moment.

Just the Martial Skills created by Lei Wanjun himself had already transcended the scope of what money could measure.

There were plenty of Martial Arts Grandmasters, and even Martial Saints, who would be willing to pay a heavy price just to observe them for a moment.

Thinking back to the beginning, he had even risked his life in matches for a mere two-hundred-thousand-yuan prize.

And now, any item taken at random from this qiankun bag was valuable enough to buy his life a hundred times over.

However, Chen Moxuan quickly snapped out of his shock. His Spiritual Sense swept out gently, bypassing those priceless treasures to accurately find what he was looking for.

With a slight thought, he took the object out of the qiankun bag.

It was a waist token emanating a blue-white glow. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, with faint arcs of lightning flowing through it.

According to Lei Wanjun, this was a token that only elders of the Lei Family were qualified to hold.

It was not only a noble symbol of status but also had a special effect—

By simply holding the waist token, chanting a silent mantra, and slowly injecting Spiritual Sense into it, one could sense the locations of all Lei Family disciples within a certain range.

Chen Moxuan already knew the silent mantra from Lei Wanjun. He recited it in his heart and injected his Spiritual Sense according to the method, and soon he felt a connection.

"There's actually a Lei Family disciple right here in Dongchang City?"

"This location... seems to be the garrison of the city's Punishment Army."

After sensing the other party's location, Chen Moxuan came to a sudden realization.

Although he didn't have a detailed understanding of the Four Great Families, Chen Moxuan knew that the Lei Family had deep roots with the Punishment Army.

A significant number of Lei Family disciples held key positions within the Punishment Army.

If the Tianyuan Army was composed of New Martial Arts Sect Martial Artists, responsible for patrolling everywhere as a mobile elite force primarily tasked with conquering alien races,

Then the Punishment Army was composed of Traditional Martial Arts Sect Martial Artists, serving as a solid bedrock rooted within the cities.

They were primarily responsible for maintaining city defense security, resolving major internal conflicts, and serving as an enforcement power to ensure order.

To put it simply, for matters involving alien races, the Tianyuan Army stepped up.

For matters involving city defense and Martial Artists, the Punishment Army stepped up.

Of course, this was only a division of duties. When facing an alien invasion, the Punishment Army could not possibly sit by and do nothing.

If the Tianyuan Army encountered someone causing trouble in the city, they also had the right to intervene, though they lacked enforcement power and would need to hand the matter over to the Punishment Army for a final decision afterward.

In any case, compared to the elusive Tianyuan Army that traveled everywhere, the Punishment Army was more accessible to the people, and their traces were much easier to find.

Wasting no time, after sensing the other party's location, Chen Moxuan left the Henghuo Martial Arts School and set off for the Dongchang City Punishment Army garrison.

...

With Chen Moxuan's current speed, even without flying through the air, he could still maintain a fairly fast pace while moving stealthily.

Starting from Henghuo Martial Arts School, it took only twenty minutes for him to reach the city defense garrison located on the border of Dongchang City.

Such garrisons were scattered across the borders of Dongchang City in every direction, totaling more than ten large and small ones.

The one Chen Moxuan was heading toward now was in the direction of the Lei Family disciple he had sensed earlier, and it was also the largest among the many garrisons.

"This should be it."

Chen Moxuan looked up and saw a magnificent, giant building standing before him. At the top of the building, a blue flag fluttered in the wind. The unique patterns and markings on the flag were the symbols representing the Punishment Army.

At the entrance, two Martial Artists wearing blue uniforms with gold trim were standing guard.

Chen Moxuan's gaze swept over them, instantly discerning that these two were at the Middle Stage of the Qi Control Realm.

Seeing Chen Moxuan walking toward them, the two men's expressions turned stern, and they immediately called out to stop him:

"Stop! This is a Punishment Army garrison. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter."

After a brief pause, one of them added:

"If you have any requests, please go to the Martial Artist Management Bureau to report them."

By this time, Chen Moxuan had changed into the student uniform of Henghuo Martial Arts School.

Henghuo Martial Arts School was well-known in Dongchang City, and the two men recognized it with a single glance.

In the past, students who suffered from bullying at school had also run to their Punishment Army for help.

However, the occasions that required the Punishment Army to be deployed were usually major events, such as terrorist organizations causing trouble in the city.

Furthermore, under normal circumstances, matters were first handled by personnel from the Martial Artist Management Bureau. Only when they judged that the situation exceeded their own capabilities would they request support from the Punishment Army.

The Punishment Army did not directly deal with the general public.

Chen Moxuan naturally didn't think he could just walk in like that.

Moreover, if he really wanted to get in, he had plenty of ways to do so without these two even noticing.

However, when he had just approached and used his Spiritual Sense to probe the interior, he found that he couldn't detect the Aura of the person he had sensed earlier.

Amidst his confusion, Chen Moxuan decided to ask.

"I am a friend of your Captain Lei. I've come to see him regarding important matters concerning his family. Is he here right now?"

Chen Moxuan naturally didn't know the name of that Lei Family disciple.

However, since the Lei Family was one of the Four Great Families, their disciples would certainly hold important positions in the Punishment Army.

Using a title like 'Captain' would likely be correct nine times out of ten.

A branch captain would be called Captain, a general captain would also be called Captain, and depending on the situation, a vice-captain could also be called Captain.

"Captain Lei?"

The two guards were slightly taken aback and sized up Chen Moxuan carefully.

Upon closer look, they realized that this seemingly youthful student actually had a commanding Aura, with a faint pressure that made it difficult for them to breathe.

He really might know their Captain Lei.

It was better to believe it than not.

Besides, this matter wasn't a secret that couldn't be disclosed.

"Um... you've come at a bit of an inconvenient time. Captain Lei went out not long ago."

"Roughly when will he be back?" Chen Moxuan frowned and asked.

"At least until tomorrow afternoon... Didn't that Blood Race incident happen recently? And then tomorrow there's a match between Jiangshui Martial Arts School and Henghuo Martial Arts School."

"The Tianyuan Army, which was originally responsible for this, went to support Yun City, so the task of overseeing the match venue fell onto the Captain's shoulders."
