Chapter 2140: Can One Actually Fly or Not?

He Pingsheng was truly dumbfounded this time!

I just flew into the void, and someone intercepted me?

Looking at the clothes these four were wearing, they seemed to be a uniform standard.

Could they be from the City Lord's Mansion?

"Don't resist!" One of them looked at He Pingsheng and said, "Come with us. According to regulations, flying into the void requires detention for ten years!"

Pfft...

He Pingsheng nearly coughed up blood: Damn it.

This requires ten years of detention?

I still have to hurry on my journey!

"Come with us!"

The leader made a hand gesture, and the other three surrounded He Pingsheng.

These three's cultivation wasn't high; He Pingsheng could knock them all dead with one staff strike.

But the problem is, this is Tanchang Immortal City.

If he killed the City Lord's Mansion disciples, he definitely wouldn't get off lightly afterward; then it wouldn't just be a matter of ten years.

"Fine..." He temporarily had no way to break the situation, so he could only leave with that guy.

Whoosh...

The five people instantly flew across the void, and after a few breaths they landed in a large courtyard.

"Brother, really ten years?" He Pingsheng was somewhat unwilling: "How about this, I'm from out of town, I don't know the city's rules. I'll accept punishment, but can you not detain me?"

"No!" The leading man looked at He Pingsheng with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression: "You can accept punishment, but detention cannot be waived!"

"How about this, we can shorten your detention period a bit!"

He Pingsheng frowned and asked: "How much can it be shortened?"

"That depends on to what extent you can accept punishment, hehehe..." The man chuckled at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng didn't answer immediately, but asked: "When I just came out from the teleportation platform, the ticket seller told me that flying freely is allowed in this city!"

"Why would he lie to me?"

The man said: "Why he would lie to you, you'd have to ask him. I don't know about that!"

"However, you'd better tell me your choice now, to what extent you can accept punishment!"

"Here, by rights, it's one piece of mid-grade Divine Gold per year!"

Hearing this, He Pingsheng was delighted and said: "Then I'll pay ten pieces, can you let me leave?"

"No..." The man shook his head: "This acceptance of punishment has limits; it's not however long you want!"

"Ten years at most, meaning no matter what you have to be detained for at least one year!"

"Rest assured, during detention you're only restricted in freedom of movement; everything else you should do can be done. You can cultivate, comprehend the Dao, it doesn't affect anything!"

The man explained the rules here.

After finishing, he added: "Of course, if you force your way out, we brothers won't stop you either. We're just doing our job; there's no need for us to get injured over official business!"

"But if someone comes for you later, you'll have to bear a heavier punishment!"

He Pingsheng pondered for three breaths: "Fine, I accept..."

It's just one year.

Anyway, my teleportation is four years later.

He took out nine pieces of mid-grade Divine Gold and gave them to the leading man, then was sent into a small dark room and locked up.

Outside, three layers of formations were arranged, all third-tier trapping formations.

After entering the small room, He Pingsheng began comprehending Dao laws, the Gravity Dao law.

Soon, one year arrived.

The door was opened, and someone led He Pingsheng out of the room.

The short one year didn't have much loss, but He Pingsheng always felt he had lost something else mysterious and unfathomable from his body.

Damn it...

What on earth is going on?

He Pingsheng felt this world was full of strangeness everywhere.

He didn't understand why people kept deceiving him.

Forget it, I'll go back and settle accounts with those two dog things.

He Pingsheng took a deep breath, then lifted his foot and left the small courtyard.

Walked toward the teleportation platform.

As a result, not far along the main street, he saw a person above his head turn into a stream of light and flash past.

And looking at the clothing color and style, it wasn't like the City Lord's Mansion guards from before; looking at that person's cultivation, it was Divine Spirit Realm twelfth layer.

Huh?

????

He Pingsheng's mind was full of question marks.

How can this person fly?

Could it be some privileged people inside the City Lord's Mansion?

Or some God Emperor's descendant?

He Pingsheng shook his head, indicating he couldn't understand.

As a result, before long, seven or eight more streaks of light flashed past above his head one after another.

Some went east, some west, some south, some north.

Directions differed, clothes differed, cultivation levels differed!

At this point, He Pingsheng could basically confirm one thing: here……one could fly……

But He Pingsheng still dared not take the risk.

He leisurely walked to the spot where the teleportation platform had been, found the 【Ice Pole Divine Temple】, and then found the ticket window inside the temple.

But when He Pingsheng arrived at the window, the people here had changed again—not a woman, not the old man, but a young man.

"Eh……you said this situation……I don't really know, Old Bull didn't deceive you, flying is indeed allowed within the lord's manor!"

"If you don't believe me, I can personally take you flying!"

"Only directly above the lord's manor and the areas near the imperial palace are off-limits for flying; elsewhere, there's absolutely no problem!"

He Pingsheng froze: Damn, the old man didn't deceive me?

Then……what were those four people doing?

"And the teleportation!" He Pingsheng asked again: "How long until the next teleportation to the Ice Pole Divine Kingdom?"

This man said with a serious face: "It will be a long time, about eleven years!"

Pfft……

He Pingsheng spat blood again: "No way……the old man last time told me it was four years!"

The man asked: "When did he tell you that?"

He Pingsheng said: "Just a year ago……"

"You were deceived by him; the opening time for the last teleportation array to the Ice Pole Divine Kingdom passed just three months ago!"

He Pingsheng was dazed!

Three months, that is, nine months after a year ago.

When I first came and saw that sweet-looking girl, she took my four billion divine gold and then told me the divine array would open in nine months.

But after nine months it didn't open, the old man then told me it would open in four years.

Then another nine months passed and it opened.

This……

Now telling me the next opening is eleven years later.

Who the hell should I believe?

Huff……

He Pingsheng took a deep breath.

"You're not deceiving me, really eleven years later?" He Pingsheng asked again.

"Not deceiving you……" the man shook his head and said: "What benefit would I get from deceiving you? The next teleportation array to the Ice Pole Divine Kingdom truly opens in eleven years!"

"How about this, you buy a new ticket and wait here!"

"We have a free lounge on the second floor, fellow Daoist, you can sit in the lounge, rest if you like, meditate if you like, contemplate the Dao if you like!"

"No one will disturb you!"

He Pingsheng had no choice but to buy a new ticket!

Wait a bit longer.

He was a little afraid, really dared not go out.

This place everywhere exuded eeriness.

But what reassured He Pingsheng was that after buying the teleportation ticket this time, he didn't feel anything draining from his body.

Wait!
