36: Seeing your extraordinary physique, I feel a connection with you and have decided to bestow upon you a martial arts technique.

“Individually imprisoning a prisoner on the second floor!?”

Shen Tianxing’s heart stirred, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Finally, I can go to the second floor and take a look…”

He had been transferred from the Ministry of Justice to the Purgatory Division for over half a month, constantly wandering on the first floor. The prisoners he encountered were mostly in the Mortal Transformation Realm.

He had wanted to go to the second floor for a long time.

However, he neither had the opportunity nor the qualifications.

But now, it was different.

The rank of Chief Punisher was already sufficient, and only he could escort this new prisoner to the second floor.

Wang Hu and the other two exchanged glances, then all turned their attention to Shen Tianxing.

“Lord Si Kou, we entrust this prisoner to you.”

They couldn't enter the second floor; their strength and qualifications were insufficient. To enter, they needed a token from Prison Envoy Qin Zhanfeng.

Chief Punisher?

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Qingyu’s eyes.

“Qin Zhanfeng truly has great courage!”

This was the same rank as her. It would no longer be so easy for the Demon and Monster Division and the Martial Suppression Division to win over Shen Tianxing.

“Congratulations on your promotion, Minister of Justice Shen.”

Shen Tianxing smiled at the words, waved his hand, and said, “Centurion Ye is too polite. All right, leave this fellow to me.”

Shen Tianxing strode towards the prisoner.

Escorting prisoners also contributed to Execution Points.

Moreover, anyone to be imprisoned on the second floor should at least be a Master in the Vajra Realm.

Once he was no longer valuable, killing him would again provide a significant income.

“What kind of prisoner is this, that even Ye Qingyu personally came?”

Shen Tianxing mumbled to himself, looking curiously at the prisoner.

The prisoner, shrouded in a black robe, seemed to sense Shen Tianxing’s gaze and slowly raised his head.

A pitch-black face, a single horn on his head, eyes like shuttles, deep like a secluded pool, emitting a greenish glow. On his black face, moon-white demonic patterns flickered, interwoven like a painting.

“This is the founding shaman of the Heaven Mending Sect. His strength isn't formidable, but his Divine Soul is powerful. You must be careful.”

Behind Shen Tianxing, Ye Qingyu’s voice reached his ears.

Heaven Mending Sect?

Shen Tianxing knew that this was one of the Sects among the Ten Gates of Demons and Monsters.

The Masters within the Sect specialized in sacrificing to demon gods and monsters. Their cultivation wasn't very high, but they could divine star constellations and observe the heavens to mend the Dao!

They were extremely mysterious!

Such a Master should rarely appear. Why was this person captured?

Shen Tianxing was surprised but didn't delve deeper.

“Thank you!”

Grabbing the chain with one hand, Shen Tianxing strode away.

He wasn't interested in the other party’s identity.

He only needed the reward after achieving the Execution Points!

…Clank, clank, clank… In the dim first-floor passage, the sound of chains constantly echoed.

In the cells on both sides, pairs of bright eyes occasionally appeared.

The prisoners here also seemed curious about who this new unfortunate soul was.

“Profound cultivation, blood Qi like a tiger, so young, yet his strength and cultivation are so astonishing. His future is truly limitless!”

“But alas… he can only be confined within this cage, unable to soar like a Dragon from the abyss!”

Shen Tianxing stopped, his gaze sweeping towards the Heaven Mending Sect Master behind him.

What was this guy trying to do?

“Old man, how do you know I am confined to a cage, and not that I like it?”

Initiating conversation surely meant trouble!

The other party had no idea that the moment Shen Tianxing escorted him, the soul slaying platform had revealed all his information.

Daoist Youquan, founding shaman, a Master of observing stars and divining! With his methods and abilities, even if his strength wasn't outstanding, it wouldn't be easy to capture him.

But alas, he was sold out by his own disciple!

Facing the ambush set by the Demon and Monster Division, his disciple very decisively sold out his Master, then took the opportunity to break out of the ambush and escape first.

And Daoist Youquan, who was sold out, was about to react when the Masters of the Demon and Monster Division swarmed him and took him down directly.

This turn of events was truly tragic!

Even he, who excelled at observing stars and divining, wouldn't have expected that the disciple who had followed him for decades would ultimately betray him so decisively?

Daoist Youquan looked at Shen Tianxing, a faint glow shimmering in his eyes, with runes flickering within.

Shen Tianxing immediately felt a mysterious Divine Soul power probing towards his Sea of Consciousness.

“There’s indeed a problem!!”

He wasn't in a hurry. A faint black light was released from the soul slaying platform, enveloping his Divine Soul.

Daoist Youquan didn't feel any abnormality, and his deep, seductive voice rang out again.

“Old me sees that your bones are extraordinary and you have a predestined connection with me. I have decided to give you a Cultivation Technique, hoping only that my days here will be a little easier.”

As he spoke, Daoist Youquan suddenly reached into his In my arms and pulled out a black jade tablet.

This black jade tablet shimmered with precious light, looking quite extraordinary.

Just to make his days easier?

Shen Tianxing would never believe such a good thing.

However, this old fellow had some tricks up his sleeve!

After being captured by the Demon and Monster Division, he had already been thoroughly searched, yet he could still hide a jade tablet.

Awesome!

“No problem, under my watch, I guarantee you’ll live comfortably!”

Shen Tianxing accepted it without hesitation.

A hint of surprise flashed in Daoist Youquan’s eyes. He was afraid this kid wouldn't fall for it. As long as he dealt with this kid, he would have a chance to escape.

Shen Tianxing had been to the second-floor passage once before and was already familiar with it.

Fierce Tiger’s burly figure appeared again.

But this time, after Shen Tianxing’s promotion to Chief Punisher, Fierce Tiger didn't say a word and directly let him through!

…Passing through a teleportation array, Shen Tianxing, along with Daoist Youquan, finally stepped into the second floor of the Purgatory Division.

Upon arriving here, an extremely dense Yin Sha Death Qi rushed towards them like a tidal wave and strong wind!

The chilling aura was more than ten times stronger than on the first floor!

“Goodness, the Yin Sha Death Qi here is too concentrated. Cultivating here, my cultivation progress will definitely be faster!”

Feeling the Seven Absolutes Yin Fiend Art automatically circulating within his body, Shen Tianxing showed a look of enjoyment on his face. He planned to settle Daoist Youquan and then not return to the first floor, staying directly on this second floor.

The environment here was completely different from the first floor. A straight passage extended forward, and at the end of the passage was an overhanging mountain wall!

On the mountain wall, there was a massive stone gate, with dim oil lamps hanging on both sides.

“Who goes there? State your name!”

A robust figure emerged from the darkness.

He was bare-chested, as sturdy as a mountain, with six ring scars on his bald head. His body was cast like molten copper, emitting a faint luster.

This was actually a Great Monk!

Moreover, he was a Body Refining Master at the fifth stage of the Vajra Realm!

Shen Tianxing glanced at him indifferently and took out his black minister of justice token.

“This official is escorting a prisoner here. Open the gate!”

The Chief Punisher’s authority was considerable; he could move freely on the first and second floors!

Now he could also put on airs!

After carefully verifying the token, the Great Monk respectfully saluted Shen Tianxing. Without further ado, he directly opened the massive stone gate.

The prisons on the second floor were much scarcer than on the first, but every cell was engraved with dense runes and spell seals both inside and out!

Openly and secretly, Vajra Realm Masters patrolled everywhere!

The intensity of the defense was more than a notch stronger!

Here, it truly revealed just the tip of the iceberg of the Purgatory Division’s strict security!
