Chapter 638: 638
Elder Zuo Wu was more sincere than Little Silver had expected; he just sat cross-legged and motionless in one spot before Odd Zhuo's arrival, and didn't make any strange moves . Little Silver had worried that Elder Zuo Wu was just feigning surrender; he had been using his power of perception to monitor for any fluctuations of spirit energy from the other party .
He was worried that Elder Zuo Wu might tip President Bai off, and so had been on alert the whole time .
No matter what magic was used, even the smallest communication spell would cause a fluctuation in spirit energy .
But Elder Zuo Wu looked like he had completely given up and didn't put up any resistance at all .
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Little Silver, leave the rest to me . " Odd Zhuo took over from Little Silver .
It wasn't until Little Silver saw Odd Zhou put the "Spirit Shackles" on Elder Zuo Wu that he breathed a sigh of relief .
These Spirit Shackles were the treasure that had also been used to arrest the Old Devil before . Once they were on, even a True Immortal's strength would be completely suppressed . Or rather than saying that their strength was suppressed, the shackles prevented spirit energy from working, and guarded against the use of hand seals . It functioned a little like a "Spirit Energy Inhibitor," a type of magic artifact which forcefully suppressed spirit energy output .
In comparison, the Spirit Shackles had a more complex structure . Apart from the other components inside the shackles, they also contained six "Spirit Energy Inhibitors . "
Developing these Spirit Shackles thus had always been very tricky . After the capture of the Old Devil, Huaxiu's Cultivation Academy of Science had only had one pair left . The Master of Immortal Mansion had then been arrested, and all the Spirit Shackles were then officially in use .
The shackles that Elder Zuo Wu was now cuffed in were a pair that had just been produced through overtime work at the Academy . As far as Odd Zhuo knew, there actually weren't many in reserve… Besides the one on Elder Zuo Wu, the research institute had only produced one other pair .
If it wasn't because they had taken into consideration Elder Zuo Wu's suicidal tendencies, Odd Zhuo wouldn't have brought these Spirit Shackles with him .
But given the current situation, it was still better to act with caution before Elder Zuo Wu was officially in custody .
As Odd Zhuo thought this, he directed someone to take Elder Zuo Wu to the prisoner transport car .
Songhai First Prison had its own powerful barrier for suppressing prisoners, so there actually would be no need for Elder Zuo Wu to wear the Spirit Shackles any longer after he was sent there .
A magic artifact like the Spirit Shackles was better used on major criminals at the "mahjong-playing" level .
This sudden incident instigated by Elder Zuo Wu had ultimately resulted in his arrest .
News of it hadn't leaked to the media; rather, Odd Zhuo was doing all that he could to suppress it . Right now, President Bai was under the mistaken assumption that Elder Zuo Wu was already dead, which was the perfect cover-up . Perhaps this could be turned into a strategic plan for trapping President Bai .
. . .
Inside the prisoner transport car, Odd Zhou sat next to Elder Zuo Wu with unperturbed calm . Seeing this, Elder Zuo Wu felt a little embarrassed . Even with the Spirit Shackles on, he was still a formidable individual with particular martial skills . Unexpectedly, this person wasn't afraid of him at all, he who was a veteran that had weathered great storms in life .
Odd Zhuo felt a little uncomfortable under Elder Zuo Wu's gaze, and he furrowed his brow as he returned it . "You have the right to remain silent . "
"…"
After some silence, Elder Zuo Wu couldn't help asking, "Are you really… only at the Golden Core stage?"
He was very curious about this . Usually, there wouldn't be anyone among Huaxiu's upper ranks of officials with realms below the Nascent Soul stage; those at the Golden Core stage at the very most were police captains . If a Golden Core cultivator became a high-ranking official without making any contributions, it was easy to think that some strings had been pulled behind the scenes .
The problem was that for Golden Core cultivators in general, accomplishing great deeds was harder than reaching for the sky .
So it was very mystical how this Director Zhuo had been able to help capture the Master of Shadow Stream, the Old Devil, the Master of Immortal Mansion as well as Evil Sword God .
