"What is this?"
Jing Du looked at the bottle and asked curiously.
"Something that will restore some of your energy," Wen Wen did not reveal the true effect of the Spring of Life.
After thinking for a moment, Jing Du picked up the Spring of Life and drank it down in one gulp.
The efficacy of the Spring of Life permeated his body, giving him a sense of vitality he had never felt before, as if his physical condition had returned to ten years ago.
He looked at Wen Wen in surprise: "This is not something that simply restores energy, this is..."
Wen Wen smiled: "This is just a small token of my appreciation. You have fought your whole life, and now you should find a place to spend your remaining years."
"Spend my remaining years... Hehe, I am a Custodian of the Containment Facility. How can I have the qualification to spend my remaining years?" Jing Du thought of his old comrade and shook his head with a slightly dim expression.
Wen Wen nodded slightly. So in this world, the containment facility was called the Containment Institute, and its custodians were called Custodians.
Although the names were different, judging from Jing Du telling him these things without punishment, the Containment Institute was essentially the same as the Containment Facility.
"You no longer need to fight. There are ebbs and flows. The Containment Institute once flourished, and now it's time for its curtain call. Your solo struggle cannot change anything."
"But the tide recedes to wait for the next rise. One day, the Containment Institute will rise again."
"If you live long enough, you might see that day. Otherwise, your death will have been in vain."
After hearing Wen Wen's words, Jing Du was stunned for a moment: "You said the Containment Institute can rise again, is that true?"
"Of course it's true. I can guarantee it, but it might take a long, long time," Wen Wen assured Jing Du.
It seemed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from Jing Du, and he felt much more relaxed.
"One last question, who exactly are you, and why have I never seen you in the Containment Facility?"
Wen Wen didn't know how to explain it to him. After thinking for a moment, he snapped his fingers, and the robe of the Disaster Jailer was instantly put on him.
"You... you are..."
Before he could see the details clearly, the robe dissipated into nothingness, and Wen Wen smiled at Jing Du.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. It's good that you're still here..."
Jing Du received the answer he wanted and thus gained the release he had longed for. He picked up his long sword and bag and disappeared from Wen Wen's sight step by step. Su Dan Novel Network
Wen Wen believed that this time he would not go on fighting to the death. He hoped he could have a perfect old age.
Then Wen Wen looked at Zhu Pengpei, who was hanging from a large tree, his abilities sealed by chains, rendering him unable to move.
A bonfire was lit below, and Chun Ling was applying various seasonings to him, releasing bursts of aroma.
Wen Wen was roasting Zhu Pengpei in the same way Zhu Pengpei had roasted those local tyrants earlier. He wanted him to experience the suffering of those people.
Given Zhu Pengpei's character, Wen Wen would normally have thrown him into the disciplinary chamber to experience extreme pain, and even killing him directly would not have been unjust.
But the situation was special now. Wen Wen could not take him into the containment facility, and he was short-handed, so he could only use Zhu Pengpei for the time being.
While roasting Zhu Pengpei, Wen Wen also found some pig iron and made a set of armor similar to Chun Ling's for Zhu Pengpei. After the punishment was over, he would let Zhu Pengpei wear this armor and serve as his left and right guardians along with Chun Ling.
It was a pity that Zhu Pengpei did not know the whereabouts of Wai Long. Otherwise, finding Wai Long directly and interrogating him for the method to return would have been what Wen Wen wanted most.
Now, Wen Wen's biggest worry was that Wai Long was not in this world. If that were the case, it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens for him to return.
Suddenly, Wen Wen sensed a disturbance and noticed faint sounds from all around. Someone was approaching him stealthily, and more than one person.
"Everyone, stop hiding. I've found you."
As soon as Wen Wen finished speaking, dozens of burly men emerged from underground, from trees, and from bushes, surrounding Wen Wen and the other two tightly.
The leader was carrying a saber as tall as himself and had a small braid, giving him a somewhat roguish appearance.
"What, am I encountering some highway robbers?" Wen Wen gave Chun Ling a look: "Left Guardian, drive these people away for me."
Chun Ling grinned sinisterly and charged forward with her mace. She had awakened her superpower and was no longer comparable to her former self.
However, these people had thoroughly studied Chun Ling. Several large nets were cast out, and more than a dozen muscular men, whose muscles were like rocks, firmly restrained Chun Ling.
Each of these burly men was no less imposing than some strongmen in the federation, and they had a special aura, equivalent to low-level superpowered individuals specializing in strength.
The man carrying the large saber lifted the hem of his clothes towards Wen Wen, revealing a pair of embroidered underpants.
"We are not robbers, but the Embroidered Underpants Guard of the Great Song Dynasty. We have no malicious intent. We just want to ask you some questions."
The other men simultaneously revealed their embroidered underpants to Wen Wen, verifying their identities.
Wen Wen sat on a rock, feeling extremely uncomfortable, with dark lines all over his forehead.
What kind of operation was it to flash one's underpants at the slightest disagreement?
What kind of bizarre organization was the Embroidered Underpants Guard?
However, although they looked strange, their strength was by no means weak. Each of them was a superpowered individual, and the man carrying the saber was even a Grade Two expert.
"I am Hen Run, courtesy name Jiagan, a Suppression Commissioner of the Special Affairs Department of the Embroidered Underpants Guard."
Wen Wen was slightly surprised, not expecting the Great Song to have a team composed of superpowered individuals.
But on second thought, it was actually normal.
At this point in time, a thousand years ago, the Hunter's Association had not yet developed, the Containment Facility had weakened, and the Glory Church's influence had also greatly diminished. The most powerful forces at this time were those feudal dynasties.
It was quite normal for superpowered individuals to serve feudal dynasties and maintain social order.
"Then, may I ask, Your Excellency, what business do you have with me?"
"A few days ago, a foreign individual named 'Harmon' approached the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Underpants Guard and commissioned him with a large sum of money to find someone."
Wen Wen nodded and smiled. He now had his next target; he needed to find Harmon.
Hen Run continued to Wen Wen: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Underpants Guard is an idiot. He dared to agree to such a thing casually. When I heard about it, I had that useless official dismissed and began investigating the foreigner Harmon."
"That foreigner claimed to be from the East Oil Region, but I have consulted the Map of Ten Thousand Kingdoms and have never seen this East Oil Region. Moreover, he is a mysterious Grade One expert. Unless I ascertain where he came from and what his purpose is, I cannot rest easy!"
