The exits of the Shanhai disaster area were blocked without warning, and anyone who wanted to leave had to be searched.
This regulation immediately caused a backlash among spirit refiners.
"Is the Tang family crazy?"
"Why should we let them check our storage items?"
"They said that if they lost something important, they would look at my storage items. Does that make sense?"
"That's right, who knows if they are deliberately making excuses."
"The Tang family is too unreasonable. I will never agree to let them check it."
"Yes, we disagree!"
The storage items of every spirit refiner are not only their wealth, but also their background and trump cards. How can they be shown to others casually?
When Gao Han arrived on the last day, the exit of the disaster area was noisy and many people were stuck there.
A fence was erected in front of the exit, and outside the fence stood a row of people from the Tang family, holding magical instruments in their hands, staring indifferently at the noisy people in the disaster area.
Tang Heng was the strongest second-class warrior present. As soon as he released his aura, everyone instantly felt as if a heavy burden was placed on their shoulders, and the noisy voices immediately weakened.
"I know you are all very unhappy. The Tang family does not intend to make things difficult for you. It is just a fact that a thief stole important things from our Tang family. Now this person must be among you. As long as we find him, we can all leave."
As a second-class strong man, a gentle attitude is already a gesture of modesty, but this is obviously Tang Heng's wishful thinking. Everyone did not feel comforted at all, but became even more angry.
"Are you kidding us? What does the loss of your Tang family's things have to do with us? Why are you detaining us? Why won't you let us go?"
A young man stood up, his face full of rage, and he did not back down because of Tang Heng's strength.
As soon as Tang Yu heard his father's words, he knew he was doomed.
My father was proud of his status and strength, and thought that this was the biggest concession he had ever made. However, these people were innocent victims of this disaster. Not only would these words fail to comfort them, but would have the opposite effect.
His worries were justified. As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up. When he saw the young man, he got a headache. Unexpectedly, even worse headaches were yet to come.
Tang Heng, who was angry and embarrassed, released a more powerful pressure, "Just rely on my strength."
The young man's knees were bent by the pressure and he fell to his knees with a thud, his face instantly turning red.
"Father." Tang Yu quickly held his shoulders and whispered in his ear, "This man is a relative of the Sima family."
"He's just a small relative. Why should I be afraid of him?" Tang Heng snorted coldly.
Tang Yu said anxiously: "You are not afraid of him, but the Sima family must not be offended. If this matter gets out of hand and the Sima family gets involved, then that thing can't be concealed."
He hoped that his father would understand the seriousness of the matter, since they were the ones who were in the wrong after all.
If people are not appeased and public anger is aroused, the whole thing will only get out of control.
The young man angrily said: "The Tang family is simply going too far. Do you think that you are the only one with more people? Do you think that the Tang family is so great? You dare to do this because you think we are easy to bully. If someone from the Zhongli family was here, would you dare to touch them?"
"He's right. The Tang family dared to do this to us because they knew we had no way to fight against them."
"The Tang family is bullying us because we are weak!"
…
On the outskirts of the crowd, Gao Han looked at the young man in surprise.
This guy is quite smart. He knows that he cannot defeat the people from the Tang family alone, so he tries to stir up everyone's emotions.
What he said was true. If it was people from the Zhongli family or the Yuan family’s military, no matter how strong Tang Heng was, he would not dare to do this.
Gao Han was not actually afraid of their search. Ordinary people could not sense the existence of the Yayoi Ring. That thing was like a part of his body, not like a storage item that was actually hung on his body.
He could always use a storage item to get away with it without being discovered by them.
Tang Yu looked at the situation that was becoming increasingly out of control, and suddenly his head became as big as an ox.
"Uncle Yu, I have an idea. Why don't we check on the Tang family members who have finished the trial first? This may help reduce their anger." Tang Zongping suddenly suggested.
Tang Yu was stunned. "This is also a solution. It may not be very effective, but if a fight really breaks out, it can also prevent the Tang family from getting hurt. Let's do this for now."
Tang Zongping nodded, and immediately stepped forward, asking the Tang family members who had come to participate in the trial half a month ago to stand up.
Some people walked out of the crowd sparsely. Half a month ago, there were more than 40 people in there, but now there are only about 20 people left. The death rate is indeed more than half.
Not all of those who came out alive passed the trial. Some did not find their mission targets and had to return empty-handed because the time was up. Others were afraid of death from the beginning and hid themselves until the time was right.
Gao Han didn't see Tang Jie and his eyes met Li Wennan's.
Li Wennan walked over with a smile, "I knew you were still alive. I left a mark for you, but why didn't you come to find me later? Fortunately, I met some friends and found the vermilion grass with them."
Seeing that he was oblivious to the people around him, Gao Han said calmly, "Did you leave a mark for me? I didn't see any mark."
Li Wennan paused for a moment. He couldn't tell whether he really came out to look for him or was lying. He was more inclined to the latter and said with a smile: "It might be bad luck. He happened to be wiped out by a human or a mutant creature."
The Tang family began to check their storage items. With Tang Heng watching, their storage items would be discovered no matter where they were hidden.
Li Wennan took the initiative to step forward. He had four storage items on him, all of which were checked.
The Tang family didn't really take out all the things, they just opened their mouths, took a look and passed them over.
The spirit stone ore has not been refined, and even if it is dug out intact, it will still emit spiritual energy. With so many spirit stone ores put together, the spiritual energy emitted must be very rich.
Therefore, the Tang family did not need to look carefully; as long as there was a strong spiritual energy emanating from it, they could feel it.
When it was Gao Han's turn, he only had two decorative storage items on him.
Tang Zongping glanced at him and said contemptuously, "You must be Gao Han, you didn't die in there."
Gao Han said calmly: "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Tang Zongping frowned unhappily upon hearing this, and said angrily, "Where is your mission item? You didn't complete it, did you? You are the top student in Penglai University, but you can't even get such a simple item. It's really unworthy of your reputation. I have to wonder if there is some shameful activity going on inside Penglai University that makes a person like you...ah!"
Something was suddenly thrown at his feet. It was quite heavy and hit Tang Zongping's foot.
Tang Zongping's face was twisted with pain, he looked down and found that it was the grass ash sulfur from Gao Han's mission.
"Although I passed the trial, I have no interest in becoming a member of the Tang family. Don't count me in. Besides, the education in the Tang family is just so-so." Gao Han looked down at him.
Tang Heng narrowed his eyes and stared at Gao Han, "Young man, you are very arrogant. Do you think you can comment on the Tang family?"
Gao Han looked at him fearlessly, "Since when did the Tang family become so arrogant that they can't even talk about others? Are they going to kill everyone who cursed the Tang family?"
Tang Heng had a gloomy face, and the pressure from his body gathered and acted directly on him.
Gao Han was not like the young man from the Sima family. He was directly forced to his knees. After bending his knees, he felt that he was not unable to resist.
"You are very brave. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?" Tang Heng said with murderous look on his face, looking as if he was looking at an ant.
"Kill me?" Gao Han raised his lips as if he found it ridiculous. "If you are not afraid of Penglai University, the military, or the trouble the Zhongli family will cause the Tang family, you can kill me."
Tang Heng smiled contemptuously, "Who are you? I may still believe in Penglai University. I know Fan Congde is your mentor. Why would the military and the Zhongli family stand up for you?"
Gao Han laughed: "I don't believe that Tang Yuxi didn't say that."
Tang Heng narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a long while, then suddenly said coldly, "Zong Ping, search his storage items carefully for me, don't miss a single one."
"Yes, Grandpa Tang." Tang Zongping glared at Gao Han, picked up a few of his storage items, and was about to pour out everything when Tang Yu suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Tang Yu said calmly: "Let me do it."
Tang Zongping wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Gao Han, but when he realized Uncle Yu's determination, he reluctantly let go.
Tang Yu did not pour out Gao Han's things. He just checked them briefly to make sure there was no scent of the spirit stone ore they were looking for, and that Gao Han did not have any other storage items on him, and then he let him go.
"Uncle Yu, why do you do this?" Tang Zongping didn't understand.
Tang Yu frowned, "Your Grandpa Tang is angry, are you also going to act stupidly? So many people are watching, even your family members are like this, what will they think?"
Tang Zongping broke out in cold sweat on his back and his face turned pale. He had forgotten.
Gao Han secretly thought it was a pity. He was still waiting for Tang Zongping to pour out everything in the storage equipment so that everyone could see what the Tang family’s so-called inspection was like.
No one noticed that Li Wennan, who was nearby, immediately changed his expression when he saw the grass ash and sulfur on the ground.
Was his guess wrong again?
Gao Han used the thunderstone mine to attract their attention, and then pretended that he didn't want to complete the task, tricking them into leaving the place where the grass ash sulfur was, and then went to get the grass ash sulfur on the last day? Is this really the case?
After walking out of the disaster area, Gao Han looked back at the people who were arguing with the Tang family, then looked at the young man who was leading the group, and sent a message to Sima Yi.
If he hadn't heard Tang Yu's words, he wouldn't have known that this young man was actually a relative of the Sima family. This muddy water was destined to become even more muddy.
Sima family.
Sima Yi was talking to his father when he accidentally glanced at the message just received on the communicator and was surprised.
"What's wrong?" The head of the Sima family noticed that something was wrong with him.
Sima Yi replied: "Gao Han sent me a message. This is the first time I received a message from him."
The head of the Sima family nodded, "Then let's take a look. Maybe he has something important to talk to you about. He is not the same as before. I heard that he can refine spiritual weapons. His refining skills are not worse than Yuan Jiaqing. It is said that he can also repair broken limbs. With these two skills, plus Penglai University, the military and the Zhongli family are all on his side. His future is limitless. Make friends with him if you can, and try not to offend him. If there is anything, help him if you can."
After reading the message, Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said, "If he doesn't ask us for help, I'm afraid we will have to accept his favor."
The head of the Sima family looked surprised.
