445: Kill all the demons in the prison, advance to the third level of the law domain, and the corpse ancestor goes to the Shenyue Lake

Wu Prefecture City, on the execution platform.

At this moment.

Hundreds of people were already kneeling, a vast number. Before Chu Jiang's Demon Suppression Guard entered the city, they were still the power holders of various prominent families, high officials, and dignitaries. Now, they were all uniformly reduced to criminals.

"Ah..."

"Mercy! It was all forced upon me by the Prince's Mansion people! It has nothing to do with me!"

"Beast! Stop, you old man! Imperial blood flows in my veins! How dare you treat me like this?"

On the execution platform, various screams, roars, and threats echoed incessantly, reverberating between heaven and earth.

"This King refuses to accept! This King will report this! Chu Jiang, you abuse your authority, indiscriminately killing loyal subjects! You will not die a good death..."

Prince Wu was tied to a red-hot iron pillar, undergoing the Thousand Cuts punishment by the Demon Suppression Guard. A raging fire burned below, subjecting him to a double torment.

However, the Demon Suppression Guard showed him no mercy, striking him with one cut after another, making him grimace in pain, his eyes unfocused.

"Chu Jiang, I am an Academician of Jixia Academy! Your Demon Suppression Guard has no right to torture this old man! Ah... Damn it! Do you still have any royal law?!"

Mingde Great Confucian cursed angrily, almost soiling himself. Jixia Academy held a transcendent status in Great Chu, and everyone would give them some Face. Yet, this Chu Jiang actually ordered them to be treated as traitors and executed without mercy.

There was no room for negotiation.

He simply did not put Jixia Academy in his eyes.

Academician Wanfa had a deathly pale Face, only letting out continuous screams. Nothing he said now mattered; only death awaited him.

He could only blame himself for being so deluded and listening to Mingde Great Confucian's Gu in the first place, coming to the Three Prefectures to trip up Chu Jiang.

This was the result.

If he hadn't come, he might still be at Jixia Academy, drinking tea, playing chess, and reading Saint's books, enjoying himself immensely.

Alas, one false step leads to eternal regret.

"My goodness, there are quite a few people here who are members of the Imperial Family, of noble status, directly subjected to severe public punishment, both burning and the Thousand Cuts..."

"The God of Slaughter, Chu Jiang, truly lives up to his reputation as a peerless fierce man who slaughters his way through! He doesn't care about your status, whether you're an Earl, a Marquis, or even a blood relative of His Majesty, the current Chu Emperor. As long as you commit a crime, he kills without hesitation!"

"This old man suspects that if the Chu Emperor ever displeases him, he would even dare to draw his blade and strike!"

"Watch your words..."

Within Wu Prefecture City, the remaining aristocratic families were all trembling with fear, looking at the tragic scene on the execution platform and exchanging whispers.

Since Chu Jiang came to the Three Prefectures, he had killed countless people, including mountain bandits, demons, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

Wherever he went, who didn't fear him?

They had already listed Chu Jiang as the number one person not to be provoked.

"However, although Chu Jiang's actions are satisfying, they will certainly displease those in the Imperial Capital. He's gone too far."

"The Celestial Observatory will petition and exert pressure, accusing Three Provinces Inspectorial Envoy Chu Jiang of overstepping his authority, deliberately torturing, and insulting imperial nobility!"

"There are also many imperial elders who will feel threatened and collectively petition to exert pressure."

After all.

In the past, when members of the Imperial Family committed crimes, they were usually swept under the rug.

Even if they committed serious crimes, they were handed over to the Celestial Observatory for judgment, confined to their own mansions, and permanently placed under house arrest.

But they could still enjoy themselves as usual.

Directly executing Imperial Family members was extremely rare, and methods of execution like Chu Jiang's, which made them wish for death, were virtually nonexistent.

They would certainly worry that if this precedent was not severely punished, others would follow suit in the future, threatening their own safety.

These old fellows, though they usually had conflicts of interest, would unite tightly when faced with a common threat.

United, even the Chu Emperor could not ignore this force.

Governing the world was inherently about balancing the interests and demands of all parties.

...

Chu Jiang arrived at the Wu Prefecture Demon Suppression Prison at this moment.

The Demon Suppression Prison, like the Yue Province one, was severely depleted.

The actual number of demons imprisoned was far less than the records in the ledger.

But even a small mosquito has meat. As the Three Provinces Inspectorial Envoy, he could simply fabricate a reason to legitimately eliminate these demons.

Whoosh!

Chu Jiang descended directly to the second level, looking at the demons on this level. Each one had a pale Face, was extremely weak, and looked as if they could croak at any moment.

Chu Jiang did not hesitate.

The Tai Zu Golden Saber instantly unsheathed.

Clang—

[Mountain Chicken Old Demon, Spirit Rank Two, gained two hundred and fifty years of Lifespan.]

[Blood dog demon, Spirit Rank Eight, gained five hundred years of Lifespan.]

...

Second level.

Third level.

He continued killing until the fourth level, taking less than a few breaths.

He had already killed two hundred true demons, gaining three hundred thousand years of Lifespan.

The System's notification sound continued to ring.

[Killed Heaven-Grade Eight, Heavenly Wolf Demon Commander, gained eight thousand years of Lifespan.]

[Killed Heaven-Grade Three, Golden Sand Heavenly Demon, gained nine thousand years of Lifespan.]

[Killed Heaven-Grade Nine, Azure Demon Frog, gained eight thousand five hundred years of Lifespan.]

...

A total of thirteen Heavenly Demons all perished.

[demon life essence: Four hundred seventy thousand]

"Not bad, not bad!"

Chu Jiang nodded in satisfaction. Law Domain Two still had room for further improvement.

Advancing to Two required two hundred thousand.

Advancing to Three.

Four hundred thousand Lifespan should be enough.

Let's get started.

[Year two hundred thirty thousand, your Law Domain Two reached its limit.]

[Year three hundred thousand, you accumulated richly and broke through to Law Domain Three.]

[Year three hundred ninety thousand, you advanced to Law Domain Three Peak.]

[Law Domain Three, currently capable of suppressing Demon Commander / Rongtian Four.]

[Simultaneously possessing Law Domain Three, Primordial Cavity Heaven, reaching the Heaven and Earth Realm limit, you gained a Divine Dao Foundation, and the difficulty of the path to godhood is reduced.]

[demon life essence: Eighty thousand years]

...

"Awesome!"

Just now, he was one tier weaker than the Eternal Mother, but now, with Law Domain Three, he could contend with the Eternal Mother, on equal footing.

However, suppressing her would still be very difficult.

After all, the Eternal Mother had an endless array of trump cards.

She was a cunning old fox.

She liked to hide her trump cards.

"System, can Law Domain Three still be improved further?"

Chu Jiang asked.

"Theoretically, Law Domain Three is already the limit. The host can continue, but it is not recommended. This would consume a massive amount of Lifespan for deduction, and the cost-effectiveness is low. The host can continue to cultivate the Pure Yang Immortal Seed and advance to the Rongtian."

"Possessing Law Domain Three and the Primordial Cavity Heaven, the host will advance rapidly in the Rongtian."

The System transmitted its voice.

"That's true!"

Chu Jiang nodded slightly. If he didn't have the Pure Yang Immortal Seed, continuing the deduction would also be a path, but now that he did, there was no need to spend a huge amount of resources.

As soon as Chu Jiang stepped out of the Demon Suppression Prison, the black mirror began to vibrate.

Messages from the official group.

King Guang of Qin: "I have already asked Corpse Old Ancestor to share his coordinates and head to the Shen Yue Great Marsh to swallow some Sun Moon Country outposts and demons. This will serve as a warning to them. You all can handle the aftermath in the Three Prefectures."

After all.

Since he had already emerged from seclusion, if he didn't shed blood, Corpse Old Ancestor might not last a few years before completely perishing.

The Sun Moon Country was smuggling people in the Three Prefectures, so this opportunity of Corpse Old Ancestor's revival was perfect to give them a deterrent.

Otherwise, they might think the Great Chu Dynasty was truly made of paper and could be bullied by anyone.

King Song: "Good!"

Cui Judge: "Understood!"

Horse Face: "Received!"

Ox Head: "I want to go too! I want to follow Old Ancestor to slay demons!" (Excited)

Black and White Impermanence: "Just stay put, you. You're always causing trouble." (Speechless)

Seeing the messages in the group, Chu Jiang's eyes lit up. Slaying demons and devils.

He was just wondering where to find demons to kill.

The demons in the Three Prefectures had either fled or been killed, leaving very few.

The Shen Yue Great Marsh was controlled by several great Demon Commanders, making it impossible to penetrate deeply.

With Corpse Old Ancestor, a powerful figure, backing them, he was bound to gain a large amount of Lifespan.

As he spoke.

Chu Jiang sent a friend request to King Guang of Qin.

"Ding... King Guang of Qin has accepted your friend request!"
