Chapter 426: Punishment Department, Caidie

Wang Jianqiang watched Aotian's receding back and smiled.

He knew Aotian meant well.

But he had not come to this place specifically to cultivate.

He had come here because of the punishment from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

He had sufficient cultivation resources on him, and his cultivation base had not yet reached a bottleneck.

In this Void Battlefield, whether or not one could gain anything was not important.

Safety was the first priority.

After Aotian and Aofanyu left, people left one after another.

A moment later.

More than ninety percent of the people chose to leave.

Only Wang Jianqiang and a few others chose to stay.

Regarding this.

Kunshan's expression did not change in the slightest.

Those who could come to the Outer Realm Battlefield almost all came for the sake of cultivation.

Joining the City Defense Army had too many shackles; although it was safe, the prospects were mediocre.

Very few people would choose it.

His gaze swept over the few people who remained in place.

When he saw the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Identity Token at Wang Jianqiang's waist, he raised an eyebrow.

"A Dahuang Immortal Palace Student?"

Hearing Kunshan suddenly speak to him, Wang Jianqiang was startled, then nodded.

"Heh, aren't Dahuang Immortal Palace Students all very arrogant?"

"To think someone would choose to stay in Wenxian City to be in the City Guard Army; that is rare indeed."

"I wonder what kind of expression those self-important fellows would have if they saw you?"

"Interesting, truly interesting..."

Kunshan chuckled, his eyes flashing with undisguised mockery.

Wang Jianqiang frowned.

This Kunshan seemed to have a deep prejudice against Dahuang Immortal Palace Students.

After his mocking laughter, Kunshan ignored Wang Jianqiang and beckoned toward the edge of the Square.

Several people clad in heavy armor quickly flew over and said respectfully to the man, "Commander."

Kunshan nodded and pointed to the people beside Wang Jianqiang, "Didn't the Logistics Department and the City Management Department say they were short of people earlier? Take them to report."

"As for you..."

After Kunshan finished speaking, he looked at Wang Jianqiang and said to one of his subordinates, "Take him to the Sanitation Department."

"A top student from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace will surely sweep the streets very cleanly."

Under Kunshan's "special care," Wang Jianqiang successfully settled into the Wenxian City Sanitation Department.

Regarding this position.

Wang Jianqiang was not only not repulsed in the slightest, but was actually very happy.

The duties of the Sanitation Department were very relaxed.

One only needed to go out on a mission every few days to clean the streets.

All other time was for free activity.

It was both safe and relaxed, and it did not waste time.

Although the treatment was a bit low.

But he was only fulfilling a punishment mission for the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace and was not counting on gaining many benefits here.

This position was simply perfect.

One month later.

Early morning.

Wang Jianqiang was performing his routine duties, cleaning the streets.

Suddenly, he saw over a dozen figures clad in heavy armor appear in the sky.

Among these people.

He saw a familiar figure.

It was a tall and sturdy figure, flying at the very front of the team.

This person was none other than Kunshan.

Upon seeing Kunshan, Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered.

This Kunshan had deep hostility toward Dahuang Immortal Palace Disciples, was a City Guard Commander, and his cultivation had already reached the Fifth-Order Will Stage.

He had just arrived in Wenxian City, and he could leave after the ten-year punishment period ended.

There was no need to provoke the other party.

Thinking of this.

He withdrew his gaze and continued cleaning the street.

However.

He did not intend to provoke the other party, yet the other party seemed to have no intention of letting him go.

Upon noticing Wang Jianqiang on the street, Kunshan changed direction.

He led his team and landed directly in front of Wang Jianqiang.

These people all exuded a fierce aura.

After arriving in front of Wang Jianqiang, not only did they not restrain themselves in the slightest, but they deliberately pressed their aura toward Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang frowned and looked at Kunshan, "Commander Kun, what is the meaning of this?"

"Nothing much, just here to inspect the work."

Kunshan smiled, his gaze sweeping over the street behind Wang Jianqiang, his expression darkening, "Wang Jianqiang, since you have already become a part of Wenxian City, you must do your job well."

"Look at you, the street you supposedly cleaned is still so dirty and messy."

"Is this how you slack off?"

He pointed behind Wang Jianqiang, his tone and expression severe.

Wang Jianqiang frowned and looked toward the direction behind him.

The street was clean, without a speck of trash, let alone being dirty or messy.

"Commander, you must have seen it wrong, right?" Wang Jianqiang turned back to look at Kunshan.

Kunshan sneered, "Still daring to deny it?"

As he spoke, he waved his palm.

A large number of bottles and jars flew out, scattering across the street behind Wang Jianqiang.

Some unknown blood spilled out from some of the bottles and jars.

This blood not only emitted a pungent odor, but the moment it touched the ground, it seeped into the floorboards; to clean it, one would have to use Spiritual Power to wash it away bit by bit, which was extremely time-consuming and laborious.

"Wang Jianqiang, is this the street you cleaned?"

"Hmph, everyone look, is the street he finished cleaning up to standard?"

Kunshan looked at the people behind him.

"Of course not up to standard."

"This hasn't been cleaned at all."

"Too atrocious."

After Kunshan's voice fell, bursts of laughter came from the team behind him.

A smug smile appeared on Kunshan's face, "Wang Jianqiang, you have neglected your duties and are seriously derelict."

After speaking, he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message.

Then he looked at Wang Jianqiang.

"I have already reported this matter to the Penalty Department."

"Wait for your punishment."

Having said that, he sneered.

He led his team and swaggered toward the city gate.

Wang Jianqiang squinted as he watched the other party's departing figure.

A cold light flickered in his pupils.

The people from the Penalty Department arrived even faster than he had imagined.

Not long after Kunshan and the others left, a Penalty Department cultivator brought Wang Jianqiang into a great hall.

When Wang Jianqiang walked into the great hall.

Inside the hall, a figure was sitting in the middle.

That was a woman with exquisite features.

She was very beautiful, but her gaze toward Wang Jianqiang was very cold.

"You are Wang Jianqiang?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Yes."

The woman continued, "According to the report from Commander Kunshan, you have neglected your duties and were passive and lazy; regarding this, what do you have to say?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "I was framed."

"Framed?"

Caidie's gaze flashed, "Who framed you?"

"Kunshan," Wang Jianqiang said.

"Ridiculous."

Caidie sneered, "As the City Defense Army Commander and a Fifth-tier Will Cultivator, why would he frame a small fry like you with a First-tier Will?"

"Wang Jianqiang, falsely accusing others carries responsibility!"

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred upon hearing this.

No wonder there was only this woman in the great hall.

It turned out she was in cahoots with Kunshan.

He looked at Caidie, "Cultivation level seems to have nothing to do with character, right? Whether he framed me or not, what does that have to do with his cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, Caidie's expression grew even colder, "Where is the evidence?"

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm, and a crystal-clear Jade Stone floated up.

The Jade Stone was playing a scene.

From the moment Kunshan appeared until he left, the entire scene was contained within it.

An Image Recording Stone?

Seeing this Jade Stone, Caidie could not help but sneer, "You are truly deep and calculating; such a disposition is harmful and of no benefit to Wenxian City."

Hearing Caidie's words, Wang Jianqiang could not help but sneer, "Ridiculous logic."

"You were the one who asked me to produce evidence; if I had no evidence, would I not be convicted by you?"

"And now that I have produced the evidence, you instead say that I am deep and calculating."

"In any case, the logic is always yours, right?"

"Furthermore, please mind your status."

"You are currently the person in charge of the Penalty Department; you only need to pass judgment."

"How I conduct myself is not within the scope of your judgment."

A cold glint flashed in Caidie's eyes.

A finger pointed.

Bang!

The Image Recording Stone instantly shattered.

"Now, the evidence is gone."

"I judge you, Wang Jianqiang, to have disregarded your duties; you are guilty."

"I hereby fine you three years of salary, sentence you to one year of confinement, and should there be any warfare within five years, you must charge at the very front line."
