113: Feigning illness! Harvesting experience points, all you need to do is finish off the enemy.

The next day!

The scorching sun rose, and all things revived!

Shen Tianxing opened his eyes from his Cultivation, exhaled a wisp of turbid Qi, and the joints of his body crackled with a crisp sound.

A night of Cultivation had brought his spirit, Qi, and Divine Soul to their optimal state.

He was radiant!

"It's harvest time again!"

Last night's commotion was significant. Under the efforts of Zhou Lin and other Qimen Division experts, the Heavenly Prison was firmly under his control.

Those Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators had already been crippled by the Qimen Division fellows, leaving them unable to resist.

All of this was his arrangement.

Wouldn't harvesting experience points this way be faster than him personally cutting people down?

Good resources must be used wisely!

After a simple wash, Shen Tianxing picked up his blade, pulled open the door, and stepped out.

Shen Tianxing first went to see the Xu Muqing sisters. Xu Muyan's injuries were mostly minor.

The injuries to her Divine Soul had recovered considerably, and she would awaken in the next two days.

After bidding farewell to the Xu Muqing sisters, Shen Tianxing went to see Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu was already able to get out of bed and move around. Nie Xiaowu had taken very good care of her. Their relationship had just begun, so he accompanied her for breakfast before leaving.

"My Lord, everything is ready."

Ling Feiyang walked in from outside and said respectfully.

"Good, let's go to the Heavenly Prison!"

Zhou Lin's efficiency was good, and last night's operation was very successful!

He was also very satisfied!

The carriage started slowly, and more than a dozen remaining Demon and Monster Division and Martial Suppression Division experts followed it into Pei Wang City!

...Pei Wang City was as lively as ever. Shops on both sides of the street and hawkers on the street continued their daily business as usual.

Ordinary people were mostly unaware of what happened last night.

As for the Cultivators, the major event that occurred last night lingered in their minds, making them very curious.

However, they had no way of finding out what exactly happened in the Heavenly Prison!

Why did the Qimen Division personnel seal off the Heavenly Prison overnight?

The more mysterious, the more it sparked imagination!

"What do you think Shen Tianxing intends to do? Sealing off the Heavenly Prison with such a grand display, is he going to deal with someone?"

"Hard to say. It might be Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators, or perhaps Disciples of the Twelve Orthodox Sects—no, now the Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path—who have offended him!"

"I heard there are many evil Cultivators here too. Prince Pei used to capture quite a few evil Cultivators!"

"Who knows what it's really for? I didn't sleep a wink last night, wanting to see what was going on, but after those Qimen Division people went in, they never came out!"

In all the tea houses and restaurants throughout Pei Wang City, there were discussions among Cultivators.

As the orchestrator of last night's events, Shen Tianxing had already entered Pei Wang City and was heading towards the Heavenly Prison.

In the Prince's Mansion, Fu Xiu strode in from outside the door.

Prince Pei and Min Wenshu were discussing something, both with serious expressions.

"Your Highness, Shen Tianxing has entered the city!"

Entering the city with such a grand display, such an eye-catching procession, certainly could not be hidden from Prince Pei's subordinates.

Upon receiving the news, Fu Xiu immediately came to report.

Prince Pei, hearing this, waved his hand and said, "From today onwards, I don't want to hear any news about him. Spread the word that this Prince is ill and does not intend to receive guests during this period."

Of course, he was feigning illness!

But Prince Pei had no choice but to do so.

The Heavenly Prison was controlled by Shen Tianxing, and the Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators inside could no longer hide. He didn't know what Shen Tianxing would do.

What he needed to do now was to distance himself.

He had already sent out the message, and before long, a large number of Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators and experts from various sects would arrive!

By then, Shen Tianxing would not be able to resist!

As long as Shen Tianxing died, everything that happened here would have nothing to do with him!

Even if the Empress was furious, she would be powerless against him!

This was the best way to protect oneself!

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Fu Xiu had followed him for decades and understood Prince Pei's meaning, so he quickly went to make arrangements.

Last night's patrol army had also been withdrawn. Since no Demon, Monster, or Ghost Cultivators had escaped all night, it proved they couldn't get out, so there was no need for further cleanup.

If Shen Tianxing had heard Prince Pei's arrangements, he would surely give him a thumbs up and praise him for a brilliant move!

Outside the Heavenly Prison, a huge Formation pattern enveloped it.

Zhou Lin, along with Yan Sen and several other Qimen Division experts, had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Tianxing's carriage slowly approached from the end of the street.

Everyone, who had not slept all night, was still energetic and showed no signs of fatigue.

"My Lord, we have not failed you!"

The carriage stopped, and Shen Tianxing stepped out. Zhou Lin, leading the others, bowed respectfully and reported.

"Well done!"

Hearing Zhou Lin's report firsthand, Shen Tianxing smiled and nodded.

They were all capable workers!

They would definitely be useful in the future!

"You have rendered great service. When we return to the Imperial City, I will personally report your merits to Your Majesty!"

"At that time, everyone will be rewarded according to their contributions!"

Shen Tianxing certainly would not erase their achievements, looking at them with great joy in his eyes.

"Thank you, My Lord!"

Zhou Lin and the others all showed delight and bowed repeatedly.

To be remembered by Shen Tianxing was the most important thing.

Rewards would certainly not be lacking!

..."Open!"

As Zhou Lin formed hand seals, a gap opened in the Nine Stars Soul Locking Formation.

Shen Tianxing had witnessed many of their methods. Upon arriving, he felt the power of this Formation and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

A Formation capable of covering the entire Heavenly Prison was indeed extraordinary!

At least, he could sense that with his current Cultivation, he would find it difficult to break this Formation!

"You all guard outside. I will go in alone."

"This official will personally send them on their way!"

He was the Grand Minister of Justice, in charge of punishments, and normally wouldn't need to act himself, but there was no helping it—these were all experience points!

He had to come personally!

If he let Zhou Lin and the others do it, then why would he go through such a grand display and fuss?

Zhou Lin and the others didn't understand, and Shen Tianxing didn't need them to understand.

"Yes, My Lord!"

Hundreds of Qimen Division experts stood guard outside the Heavenly Prison, watching Shen Tianxing enter.

No one asked a single extra word!

This was why Shen Tianxing liked them; they were obedient enough!

No nonsense!

Such subordinates, how good!

Shen Tianxing, holding his blade alone, stepped into the Heavenly Prison. The passage, apart from the flickering torchlight, was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Death Qi, Evil Qi, Yin Qi... Although it couldn't compare to the Purgatory Division in the Imperial City, it was still the most concentrated place he had seen.

Especially the auras within, already extremely weak, but the sheer number was too great!

Upon closer inspection, he saw a huge torture chamber inside, where massive Demon, as well as Ghost Cultivators, were all sprawled on the ground.

The smell of blood was incredibly pungent, and blood flowed everywhere.

"These fellows aren't soft-handed either!"

"Saved me a lot of effort!"

All the Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators had been thoroughly dealt with. Shen Tianxing only needed to go up and deliver the finishing blows!
