"Gentlemen, your identities are yet to be verified, but there’s solid evidence regarding your transportation and purchase of opium. Please come with me, Captain Yang, to await your punishment."

As soon as Captain Yang finished speaking, the guards behind him moved to apprehend the individuals.

"Hold on, do you dare arrest us? We are students of Star Academy, even your Third Prince must show great respect when he sees us. You, a mere Captain of the Imperial Army, dare take us in?"

Mo Wu and his companions were instantly furious.

They were students of Star Academy, absolute Heavenly Chosen Sons on the Eastern Continent. Not to mention a small place like Longteng, even in main countries like Fuzhou, Shengri, Tuyuan, no one dared directly detain them!

"Well said. I am the Chairman of the Spirit Food Association of Zixiao and Longteng, even your Emperor must show me face, and you’re bold enough to arrest me?"

Tu Suxia’s face was full of anger.

"How the Third Prince treats you, I do not know, but if the Emperor breaks the law, he shares the same punishment as the commoners. If you refuse, don’t blame me for being discourteous."

Captain Yang coldly snorted.

In the shadows, Xin Lin and Zhao Xiaohu witnessed the scene.

Zhao Xiaohu couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Ling Xinlin, face full of admiration.

"Worthy of being Little Boss, what a clever strategy."

Xin Lin, however, had a deep gaze, staring ahead.

"Don’t celebrate too soon, something’s not right."

As soon as Xin Lin finished speaking, Tu Suxia casually took out several bottles from his person.

"Gentlemen, today we were careless and fell for someone’s scheme. Fortunately, I am prepared; this is Returning Essence Wine, it can quickly restore True Qi or Spiritual Energy."

Having said that, Tu Suxia tossed a bottle to each of the four individuals.

Tu Suxia took the lead, drinking the liquid from the bottle.

Once the liquid entered their stomachs, all four felt their Spirit Martial Meridians shake, with the Spiritual Energy and True Qi consumed inside their bodies rapidly recovering.

Their faces lit up with joy.

Unexpectedly, they didn’t find medicinal herbs this time, but rather a spiritual wine.

If they cooperate with Tu Suxia and obtain the formula made from Spirit Coffin, it will surely benefit them at the Little Eagle Chick Conference.

"Take them down!"

Captain Yang commanded.

But Captain Yang was evidently a step too slow.

As soon as Tu Suxia and the four recovered True Qi and Spiritual Energy, their bodies moved like swift shuttles.

With the sound of clashes, several guards who advanced to apprehend were immediately slain by Tu Suxia and Mo Wu’s companions.

"Are you resisting arrest?"

Captain Yang was also taken aback, not expecting Tu Suxia to pull out such spiritual wine at the critical moment.

"What if we’re resisting arrest, truth be told, that opium is exactly what I need as Chairman. Since you’ve discovered it, then this time next year will be your death day."

Chairman Tu Su sneered coldly.

Beside him, Mo Wu and the others felt a sudden alarm in their hearts.

They too realized they had boarded Tu Suxia’s pirate ship, yet after drinking Tu Suxia’s wine, escaping now was impossible.

In the blink of an eye, close to a hundred Imperial Army troops were killed, leaving only about twenty in precarious situations, possibly facing further kills.

"This is bad, this is trouble. That captain is going to be in trouble."

Zhao Xiaohu in the shadows couldn’t help but sweat for Captain Yang.

Tu Suxia was indeed a Five-star Spirit Chef, able to brew spiritual wine that instantly recovers True Qi, something Xin Lin and his companions hadn’t anticipated before.

But before Ye Lingyue could speak again, a cold laugh was heard.

"Tu Suxia, this is Longteng, not Fuzhou, you can’t act with impunity."
