21: Isn't being alive good enough? Transfer to the Purgatory Division!

The weather was clear, with clouds rolling and unfurling.

Su Mingyue and the other figure gradually walked away, disappearing at the end of their sight. Shen Tianxing also withdrew his gaze, turned, and strode away. He grabbed some food from a street stall and then headed to the yamen.

"Hmm? So happy?"

As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he heard bursts of laughter from the main hall from a distance, a completely different atmosphere from usual.

"It's not payday yet, why is everyone so happy today?"

Shen Tianxing was a little curious.

"Tianxing, you're finally here! Come in quickly, Head Wang is waiting for you inside."

Third Elder Gao happened to come out of the main hall and immediately saw Shen Tianxing walking leisurely, so he quickly called out loudly.

Wang Hu is here?

Shen Tianxing's eyes lit up. It seemed there was news about his entry into the Purgatory Division.

"Aye, coming!"

Shen Tianxing strode towards the main hall, while Third Elder Gao stood stunned at the main entrance, looking at Shen Tianxing with some confusion.

"This kid seems to look different from before!"

Shen Tianxing didn't know that with his great improvement in cultivation, and after Cultivating the Yuanjue Temple's town-preserving Cultivation Technique, the Indestructible Great Buddha Body, not only did his physique change significantly, but even his Aura was somewhat different.

Unless it was someone familiar, they wouldn't notice it.

"Haha... Tianxing, you're finally here! Your brother has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Seeing Shen Tianxing, Wang Hu laughed loudly and quickly stood up to walk over, not even bothering to drink the tea beside him.

"Head Wang, is there good news?"

Shen Tianxing asked with a smile.

Although he had a guess in his heart, he couldn't be sure until the answer was announced.

"Hahaha..."

Wang Hu patted his head and said with a big laugh, "I almost forgot about the main business."

With that, he pulled out a scroll of paper from his Huai.

When everyone saw the scroll, they all showed surprise.

This was the unique scroll used only for transfer orders.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Wang Hu said loudly, "This is a Purgatory Division transfer order, with the personal appointment of the Minister of Justice and Lord Siyu."

"From today onwards, you are one of us in the Purgatory Division!"

Purgatory Division transfer order!

It was already rare for Lord Siyu to issue a transfer order.

However, what everyone couldn't understand was why Shen Tianxing wanted to go to the Purgatory Division?

Isn't it good to live well?

Young man, why can't he think straight!

"Tianxing, what... what's going on?"

Third Elder Gao, who was next to him, had a look of surprise in his eyes and couldn't help but ask.

That was the Purgatory Division!

Being an Executioner there was too dangerous.

Even those who survived would face much greater pain from Evil Qi entanglement than in the Ministry of Justice!

Shen Tianxing had only been at the Ministry of Justice for a few days, and now he was going to the Purgatory Division. Wasn't this jumping into a fire pit?

Third Elder Gao's reaction showed some consideration for Shen Tianxing.

The others wouldn't even bother to ask.

No one wanted to go there.

"Uncle Gao, the Purgatory Division was my Master's regret. My going there can be considered fulfilling his last wish."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Shen Tianxing wouldn't say he wanted to go himself; bringing up Shen Nian would be more convincing.

It also indirectly showed that Shen Tianxing was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness.

"Alas... alright."

Hearing this, Third Elder Gao also found it hard to say anything.

Wang Hu also didn't rush him, allowing Shen Tianxing to bid farewell to Third Elder Gao and the others.

Everything was as Shen Tianxing had expected; he finally got his wish!

He could finally enter the Purgatory Division!!!

With the transfer order issued, Shen Tianxing's identity was no longer the same. After handing over his ghost head saber and identity token, he followed Wang Hu away.

As soon as they left, the crowd erupted into chatter.

"Is Shen Tianxing crazy? To go to the Purgatory Division for Shen Nian? He's really not afraid of Death!"

"Yeah, once he goes, who knows if we'll ever see him again."

"I heard that the Purgatory Division has generous perks; perhaps Shen Tianxing is just going for the hefty reward."

"Heh, young people are ignorant. If he wants to die, we can't stop him. When he finds out what kind of place the Purgatory Division is, he'll regret it."

Third Elder Gao, who was nearby, heard this and his face darkened a few shades.

This group of people not only spoke ill of him but also kicked him when he was down, with all sorts of sarcasm.

They didn't know that because Shen Tianxing went to the Purgatory Division, they wouldn't be forcibly recruited by the Purgatory Division this year.

The death rate in the Purgatory Division was too high.

Every year, they would specially recruit some people to fill vacancies.

Regardless of why Shen Tianxing went, at least this year they could live happily for another year.

"Have you all said enough?!"

"A bunch of ungrateful wretches, don't forget, with Tianxing going to the Purgatory Division, our Ministry of Justice has enough people to fill the vacancies this year. If Tianxing didn't go, would one of you be chosen to fill the vacancy?"

Third Elder Gao's words were purely to scare them.

However, it was extremely effective.

"Third Elder Gao, what are you saying? We were just feeling sorry for Tianxing!"

"Alas, Tianxing is too young after all."

"Although we've only worked together for a few days, I still like this young man very much. This time he's going to the Purgatory Division and helping us fill the quota, we are very grateful. How could we say sarcastic remarks?"

"Exactly..."

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all showed reluctance. Their expressions of regret and emotion made it seem as if their friendship was very deep, to those who didn't know.

But this was the truest portrayal of the Executioner profession.

As Executioners, what they thought about most was not how much monthly salary they received, or how rich their lives were, but rather to spend their later years peacefully, and to be less contaminated by Yin Qi and Evil Qi.

Whenever there was a task, it was best to let other Executioners carry it out, and they themselves would be idle every day; that was the ideal situation.

Purgatory Division?

The prisoners held there were not ordinary people. To behead those people, strength was the most important thing.

At the same time, one must not be afraid of Death!

But who isn't afraid of Death?

Going to the Purgatory Division to be an Executioner, wasn't that just asking for a shorter life!

...Standing at the entrance of the Purgatory Division, Shen Tianxing felt the blood in his entire body beginning to boil.

"Purgatory Division, I'm here!"

He grinned.

His blessed land!

The dense Death Qi, Evil Qi, and Yin Qi, in his eyes, were all important nutrients for his Cultivation!

And what about those fierce and evil prisoners locked inside?

All experience points!!!

As long as there are experience points, there is strength!

With strength, what is there to fear about Evil Qi entanglement? What is there to fear about not being able to behead a hundred people?

He would not follow Shen Nian's old path again!!!

Along the way, following Wang Hu to the Purgatory Division, Shen Tianxing already knew that he had received many rewards this time.

Five thousand taels of gold, that was secondary, and also the least significant reward.

The transfer order to enter the Purgatory Division!

The last reward was the opportunity to enter the Purgatory Division's armory!

In the Purgatory Division's armory, there were many martial arts classics, and Shen Tianxing could choose two of them.

Such a reward was very rare, and the opportunity was extremely precious.

"Old Zhang, Old Li, I've brought Tianxing! Today, we must celebrate properly!"

"Haha, we should celebrate!"

"Indeed, we haven't had a new person here for a long time!"

Zhang Kui and Li Dahai also responded with smiles, patting Shen Tianxing's shoulder, liking him more and more as they looked.

Shen Tianxing, knowing the Dao of interacting with people, quickly said, "We can celebrate, but I must be the one to host!"

"Tonight, at Osmanthus Tower, we'll drink until we drop!"

The wine at Osmanthus Tower was very famous in the imperial city, and of course, the price was also very expensive.

"Good! Then we'll listen to you!"

"We'll drink until we drop tonight!!!"
