Chapter 5: Space ring and consequences
"What now", thought Jin. He killed the man who caused the death of his best friend. But after the deed was done Jin just felt empty, not satisfied not relief just empty.
"I need to take Mervin's body and escape before the enforcement squad arrives", Jin said to himself.
The enforcement squad is law enforcers of the thunderfire sect they are the reason why no one dares to commit murder or any other crime in the thunder fire sect, of course, there is an exception though if you have one million contribution points you can kill one person and not get punished. Jin only had 80 so he will definitely get punished for killing both Edwin and Orain. The punishment for murder is death.
After reaching houtian body level 3 his stats became.

With a speed of 3900 km/hr, he instantly reached Mervin's house. He entered it and closed the door.
"System analyses this ring", said Jin pointing to the ring Edwin had dropped.
"Ding analysis complete the object in host's hands is space ring"
"I knew it", said Jin who was ecstatic. Space rings are rings with a small compressed dimension stored within it. It can be used to store any nonliving or dead thing inside it.
Jin used the space ring and stored Mervin's body inside it. Although he wanted to look and see all the cool things that Edwin had stored within it, he was short on time. The enforcement squad can arrive any minute.
So Jin ran at full speed in the direction red dragon forest.
*************************
The Qin family.
One of the 4 most powerful family in the Serion empire. It was as powerful as the thunder fire sect.
Right now in the Qin family, one female servant with red hair was running at full speed inside the Qin mansion, she stopped in front of an old door to a small room and knocked.
"Who is it", asked a gentle feminine voice from the other side.
"Mistress it is me, little red, I have bad news", said the female servant named little red in a panicked voice.
"Calm down little red", said the lady inside as she opened the door. She was a middle-aged woman who was extremely beautiful.
"Whatever it is we can find a solution", said the middle-aged women.
"Mistress this is really bad news, it's about young master Edwin, his life jade has shattered", said Little Red.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?", the middle-aged women suddenly lost her baring. She grabbed little Red by the shoulders and asked.
"REPEAT WHAT YOU JUST SAID"
"Young master Edwin's life jade has shattered", said Little Red as tears started to form in her eyes.
"AHHHHH MY SON, MY SON IS DEAD", screamed the middle-aged lady as tears started to form around her eyes.
Her name is Muren Qin a Xantian body level 9 expert.
**************************
Thunder fire sect enforcement squad headquarters.
`"Someone is causing trouble in the servant quarters", said an old man to a stone-faced young man.
"Send someone to clean it up", said the young man.
"Young master it involves Edwin Qin", said the old man.
"*sigh* what did he do this time", asked the young man.
"He is dead", said the old man.
"Oh...…..", suddenly the expressionless young man's face suddenly darkened.
"FUCKING HELL WHY DIDNT TELL THIS TO ME EARLIER DID YOU CATCH THE KILLER YET", asked the young man.
The old man, still calm despite being yelled at said,"No".
"Get the black squad and Lugo we need to catch the fucker before he escapes", said the young man.
"The black squad, isn't that bit excessive even if he a progeny of the Qin family", said the old man.
"We need to seem excessive when that crazy bitch Muren arrive, otherwise she will lose our heads", said the young man
"Wait what does the great Muren Qin have to do with this", asked the old man.
"Edwin is her son", said the young man.
"Oh....", said the old man.
"WHAAAAT?? LUGO GET THE BLACK SQUAD I AND YOUNG MASTER ARE PERSONALLY GOING TO CATCH THE CULPRIT", said the old man as he lost his bearings.
'Why is my life so difficult?', Lugo thought to himself.
The young man Serin Oswalt and Old man is his bodyguard Uncle Tong.
Lugo's cultivation is houtian body level 9.
Serin Oswalt houtian body level 5.
Uncle Tong Xantian body level 2.
*******************************
At the same time inside elder Samson's house
"WHO WAS THE ONE WHO SPREAD THE RUMORS ABOUT ME ORDERING A SERVANT DISCIPLINE TO KILL ANTS WHOEVER IT I WILL CUT HIM INTO A THOUSAND PIECES", roared Samson. Samson was an old man looked at least 80 years old.
"Father calm down", said Samson's son Michal. Michal was 30 years old.
"CALM DOWN HOW CAN I CALM DOWN", Samson shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Father we have a portrait of the servant disciple who is the source of all this, you know what else he did", said Michal with a smile.
"DON'T TEST ME BOY OUT WITH IT", said Samson who extremely furious.
"He killed Edwin Qin", said Michal.
"The Qin family boy, son of that overprotective bitch Muren", said Samson who suddenly calmed down.
"So father doesn't have to do anything just let Muren kill this Jin SettingSun", said Michal with a smile.
"Wait his last name is SettingSun", asked Samson wide-eyed.
"Yes", replied Michal
"Give me his portrait", said Samson as he snatched the portrait from Michal's hands.
After looking at Jin's portrait, Samson's jaws dropped and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Father what is wrong?", asked Michal who was concerned.
"A splitting image of his father", Samson murmured to himself.
"....", Michal kept quite
"Michal do you remember the time when your father went missing for 3 weeks when you are young, it was about 20 years ago", asked Samson.
"Yes, of course, I do, father went on a mission and was attacked by a pack of Xantian body level 9 demon beasts but you miraculously survived", said Michal
"Did you know, I only had a cultivation of houtian body level 9 back then, have you ever wonder how I still managed to survive an attack of a pack of Xantian body level 9 demon beasts? Hell forget a pack just one Xantian body level 9 demon beast could fart and I would have died over a 1000 times", asked Samson.
"...", Michal kept quite.
"It all thanks to one man, or rather he was a god in my eyes, I think he had a cultivation of Marital emperor, his name was Elfon SettingSun",
"MARTIAL.... EM…...EM…...EMPEROR", shouted a flabbergasted Michal.
The sect leader of the thunderfire set is only Martial lord level 2 and he is considered as the 3rd strongest person in the Serion empire. And Martial emperor is 2 realms higher than that.
"At Least I think he was a Martial Emperor it could have been higher or even lower, but after he saved me, I requested him to take me as his disciple, although he rejected me he gave me peerless cultivation technique and left", said Samson in a nostalgic tone.
"Now this Jin fellow, he looks strikingly similar to my savior and also has the same last name", continued Samson.
"What are you going to do now father?",asked Michal.
"Save him of course, even if the chances are slim, he might be the son of my savior so I can't just sit back and let him get killed", said Samson with a smile.
"But father both the thunderfire sect and the Qin family have a very good relationship if you…..", said Michal.
"Do you think the wrath of a Martial emperor is a comparable to a mediocre Qin family", said Samson in a slightly angry tone.
"But Father Muren is a Xantian body level 9 expert you can't fight her your only, Xantian body level 1", said Michal.
"Who said I was only a Xantian body level 1", Samson said and closed his eyes.
Suddenly boundless amount pressure of Xantian body level 9 was emitted from his body.
*******************************
Jin calmly walked to the entrance of the Red dragon forest. There was a large wall surrounding the thunderfire sect protecting the thunderfire, this wall had 4 gates one in each cardinal direction. The gate to the red dragon forest is located in the west.
"Halt", said the guard at the door, "State your purpose in exiting the sect"
"I am going to hunt demon beasts in the red dragon forest", said Jin trying to seem as normal as he could.
"I see, do you have a permit from the hall of mission to enter the red dragon forest", asked the guard.
As the name suggests, the hall of missions is the hall that gives out missions to the sect disciples, missions range from investigating strange events to killing demon beasts. Without the permit of the hall of mission or an elder, no one is allowed to enter the red dragon forest.
"I don't have a permit but I do have 10,000 contribution points for you", said Jin as he extended forth Edwin's identity plate.
All the common guards are either outer court disciples or servant disciples, Jin knows how hard life is for them so he decided to gamble and try to bribe his way out.
10,000 contribution points were all the wealth Edwin had accumulated
"Oh I see, I see", said the guard, with a vulgar smile as he took the second identity plate and placed it in his pocket.
This was not the first time he had done deals like this and it certainly won't be the last.
"Open the gate", shouted the guard.
And so Jin escaped from the thunderfire sect.
10 seconds after he escaped, a member of the black squad arrived there with a poster of Jin. And that poster was placed on the most wanted list of the thunderfire sect. The guard that helped Jin was scared stiff.
Black squad eventually found out from the other guard that saw Jin, that he had escaped and that one of the guards had helped him. The guard that helped Jin was arrested and taken for interrogation.
While all this was happening Jin running at full speed in the Red dragon forest.
