"Warden, Su Yuxing!"
"Yes."
"Next, jailer, Shen Jin."
.
Su Yuxing lowered his body slightly and followed the two armed guards into the dark tunnel.
Behind him, there were nine other jailers who were originally on the first floor of the imperial prison.
"It is unexpected that the security of the second level of the Heavenly Prison is so strict…"
Su Yuxing recalled what he had just experienced.
First, he compared it to the portrait, then took blood to test his body. He even used a jade plate to shine on his forehead.
It was said that it was used to test the soul, specifically to prevent people from using the possession secret technique to sneak into the imperial prison.
Su Yuxing almost thought that he was about to be "exposed".
Fortunately, his Soul Penetration seemed to be of a much higher level than some possession secret technique.
Su Yuxing followed the guards into the tunnel. First, he walked up, then down, and then up again…
After making many turns and walking up and down for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group finally reached the end of the tunnel.
"We're here."
The jailors who were transferred from the first floor of the imperial prison all trembled slightly.
Only Su Yuxing curiously looked around.
It wasn't like what he had imagined, where he had stepped into the netherworld as soon as he entered the second level of the prison.
Compared to the first floor, the second floor seemed to be much clearer, and the torches on the walls were more abundant.
However, the gloomy aura around them was much thicker, about two to three times that of the first layer.
Su Yuxing cultivated the Human Butcher Blade, so he was the most sensitive to this kind of aura.
The environment on the first level was already quite life-threatening, but this second level…
As expected, it was not a place where ordinary people could live for a long time.
At this moment, they were in an empty space that looked like a hall. Several people were looking at them expressionlessly.
Su Yuxing looked at the three of them and found that their martial arts strength was not weak.
They were all ningmai and above, the one in the lead was already a small expert who had succeeded in gathering qi.
The clothes they wore were also quite strange, similar to those of the Demon Slayers, but the patterns embroidered on their chests were different.
It was a black Unicorn.
No, it wasn't a Qilin.
Su Yuxing suddenly remembered that this strange beast should be called Xie Zhi!
Legend has it that it can distinguish right from wrong, distinguish good from evil, loyalty and evil, and is an ancient divine beast that is brave and just.
"Just these few people?"
The leader of the three, a middle-aged man with a short beard, glanced at Su Yuxing and the others and snorted coldly.
"It's already not bad to be able to gather ten of them. The first floor is also lacking people now…" The guard who led the way smiled bitterly.
"Those people from the Ministry of Personnel…"
The short-bearded middle-aged man seemed to want to curse, but he quickly stopped and shook his head."Alright, it'll only last for a month or so anyway.”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the jailers who had been transferred over.
The short-bearded middle-aged man's gaze was cold and sharp, like a frosted knife stabbing into his face.
None of the jailers dared to look him in the eye. Some of them even began to tremble and almost peed.
Su Yuxing lowered his head and blended in with the group of jailers, making an obedient appearance.
The short-bearded middle-aged man saw the looks of the jailers and immediately became a little dispirited. He retracted his gaze and casually waved his hand."Those who have practiced martial arts, step forward."
The jailers looked at each other, and then about two-thirds of them took a step forward.
"Those below the third tier of Body Tempering don't count!"
An official behind the short-bearded middle-aged man shouted.
Alright, it instantly shrank back by more than half.
There were only four people left. A minor official walked up and began to ask questions one by one with a pen and paper.
"Name, age, martial arts strength?”
"King…Wang Dacong, thirty-nine, fourth-tier tempered body…"
After asking three people in a row, the strongest one was only at the sixth tier of Body Tempering. The short-bearded middle-aged man could not bear to listen anymore.
It was Su Yuxing's turn.
"Name, age, martial arts strength?”
"Su Yuxing, eighteen, martial arts…"
Su Yuxing thought for a while and replied,"I just ningmai not long ago."”
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Su Yuxing finished speaking, the jailers beside him let out a slight uproar. All of them looked at him in disbelief.
The small official who was writing the notes was also stunned. The short-bearded middle-aged man behind him also raised his head and looked at Su Yuxing.
"Don't lie, it's a big crime to lie to Shangguan!”
The small official said to Su Yuxing with a serious expression, and then said," Raise your hand and circulate your zhenqi."
Su Yuxing did as he was told. Then, from the six True Qi vortexes in his dantian (yes, he was now at Extraordinary sixth stage), he drew out a tiny bit of True Qi that was thinner than a strand of hair and circulated it into his palm.
The minor official stretched out his hand and placed it on Su Yuxing's palm before quickly retracting it. Then, he turned around and nodded at the short-bearded middle-aged man in surprise.
"Good boy…"
The short-bearded middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw this. He quickly walked up and put his hand on Su Yuxing's shoulder.
Su Yuxing immediately felt a surge of genuine Qi, which was about one percent of his own genuine Qi whirlpool, flowing into his shoulder.
He hurriedly suppressed the six agitated true qi vortexes in his dantian, afraid that a trace would leak out and shock the short-bearded middle-aged man to death. However, he still had to put on an obedient appearance.
"Indeed ningmai first level."
The short-bearded middle-aged man retracted his palm in satisfaction and then asked Su Yuxing," How's your background?”
"Seven generations of the family have been jailers."
"Who taught you martial arts?"
"My father taught me some when he was alive. After entering the imperial prison, he made a contribution and obtained a cultivation technique from the previous prison code.”
Su Yuxing answered truthfully without hiding anything.
He even told the truth about his 'transaction' with Li Yudian.
He even mentioned the name of the Five Tigers Earth Overturning Technique that he had obtained from Li Yudian.
This was because this matter could not be hidden. If the higher-ups wanted to investigate, they could always find out.
Su Yuxing wasn't afraid of being investigated. His 'transaction' with Li Yudian was done according to the rules.
As for whether Li Yudian had followed the rules, he didn't know.
Anyway, Li Yudian had already been dead for more than half a year, so there was no evidence.
The short-bearded middle-aged man listened to Su Yuxing's answer and his face became even more satisfied.
Nodding his head, he ordered his men,"Send this kid to C..." Oh no, send him to Prison No. 4 and stay there for two months.
If his performance was acceptable, he would accept it.”
After saying that, he smiled at Su Yuxing."I didn't expect to find a treasure in a pile of trash.
It just so happens that my Prison Department is short of people. You're just in time…"
Su Yuxing blinked his eyes and caught a word in the short bearded man's words.
——
Prison Guard!
This was the first time he had heard of this outside of the Demon Slayer Department and the Demon Slayer Department…
The Third Division of Great Yu Dynasty!
