11: Chapter 11: Murderous Intent Lurks in the Interrogation Room! Gu Han's Plan to Harvest Fate

About three hours later.

Gu Han changed into his reserve Zhenwu Guard uniform.

The Jailer blade in his hand had also been swapped for a Zhenwu Guard black iron blade.

He had expected there to be other assessments, but to his surprise, apart from the conflict with Xu Hua earlier, everything had gone extremely smoothly.

At the same time, he also received a Cultivation Technique, a blade technique, and a movement technique.

Furthermore, they were all for the Meridian Connecting Realm.

"Now I don't have to worry about the problem of Cultivation Techniques."

"It's just that there's no technique to conceal my cultivation level. Having such a sudden Breakthrough makes it hard to explain."

"Before, I could use the nameless Medicinal Pill left by the original body's father as an excuse."

"But if I keep breaking through, even a pig would get suspicious."

"No, I need to find a Cultivation Technique to conceal my cultivation level."

"Until I can conceal my cultivation, I cannot make another Breakthrough."

"Otherwise, it will definitely attract unnecessary investigation."

Thinking of this, Gu Han couldn't help but feel annoyed.

However, in order to safely keep a low profile, Gu Han decided to endure it for now.

Once his cultivation becomes invincible, he would strike with heavy force.

At the same time, he set a rule for himself: plan before acting.

Once he strikes, it must be with thunderous force to wipe the enemy out completely.

Only by completely destroying them physically and in Soul is it the safest approach.

Furthermore, he also decided that unless necessary, he must be at least one major Realm higher than his enemy before making a move.

After all, this is a living reality, not a protagonist in a novel who can mess around recklessly and have a grandfather figure or lover come to their rescue.

After all, this is a Xuanhuan martial arts world; no one knows what kind of secret weapons an opponent might have.

Immediately, Gu Han headed toward the prison.

According to the duties of the Heavenly Prison Zhenwu Guard, his job was to guard the prison.

And his duties were even simpler.

As a reserve, he only needed to patrol once a day on time; the rest of the time he could Cultivate on his own, without any KPI assessments.

Unlike the official Zhenwu Guards, who needed to hunt down evil cultivators and demons based on case files.

Arriving at the prison, he ran into Zhao De head-on.

When Zhao De saw Gu Han wearing the Zhenwu Guard uniform, he immediately stepped forward and pulled him aside.

"Kid Gu, are you tired of living!"

"How could you wear this uniform?"

"Quick, go change it."

"Otherwise, if a Zhenwu Guard sees you, no one will be able to protect you."

Seeing Zhao De act this way, Gu Han felt very touched.

"Uncle Zhao, I am a reserve Zhenwu Guard now."

"Look, don't I look dashing?"

Before Zhao De could speak, a Jailer passing by burst into laughter.

"Little Gu, if you're a Zhenwu Guard, then I'm the Division Master of the Zhenwu Division."

"Listen to Old Zhao, don't get yourself into trouble just to show off."

"When the time comes, Old Gu's family line really will be broken."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao De hurriedly spoke up.

"Go, go." Then he began to urge Gu Han to leave.

Seeing this, Gu Han smiled slightly.

"Uncle Zhao, I really am a Zhenwu Guard."

"If you don't believe me, look."

Immediately, he displayed his full cultivation level.

In an instant, an aura surged forth, shocking everyone present.

Zhao De and the others were dumbfounded.

They were stunned for a good while before stammering,

"Kid Gu, how did you Cultivate to such a Realm overnight?"

Hearing this, Gu Han repeated the excuse he had used for Captain Zhang.

After hearing this, Zhao De did not doubt him.

After all, Gu Han's ancestors had been Jailers for generations. While doing odd jobs, they would sometimes make some "extra money," which was one of the sources of income for Jailers.

"Brother Han, you must cherish this opportunity well."

Hearing this, Gu Han could sense the shift in the superior-subordinate dynamic from Zhao De.

The other Jailers were even more so, asking Gu Han to look out for them and the like.

Seeing this, Gu Han hurriedly laughed and said,

"Uncle Zhao, uncles, brothers, I am still the same Kid Gu as before."

"We are all our own people, don't be so distant."

"As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to help everyone."

"I won't be like some people who get arrogant and full of themselves after becoming a reserve."

"Who knows, maybe a year from now, I'll fail the assessment and continue being a Jailer with everyone."

Hearing Gu Han mention "someone," everyone smiled knowingly.

Li Yi: You're so noble, killing me and using my remnants of fate to Cultivate. Even after I'm dead, you don't let me go and keep gossiping about me.

"Brother Han, don't talk nonsense."

"You will definitely pass the assessment."

"Don't say such discouraging things."

Hearing this, Gu Han laughed.

"Uncle Zhao, there's no need to be so reserved. Isn't this just me trying to liven up the atmosphere?"

After Gu Han finished speaking, Zhao De urged everyone to get back to work, leaving Gu Han standing there alone.

"Fine, I've become an idler."

"I'll wander around and take a look."

"See if I can find an opportunity to harvest a wave of remnants of fate."

"Using cheats to Cultivate is the real way to go."

"In this day and age, anyone who has cheats and doesn't use them is a fool."

Immediately, Gu Han walked with a light step, wandering aimlessly through the cells on the first level of the Heavenly Prison.

After some observation and marking, Gu Han had already identified several targets to act upon.

However, how to harvest the remnants of fate without anyone noticing was starting to give Gu Han a headache.

After all, if too many of these prisoners died all at once, it would definitely invite an investigation.

When that time came, it might cause Zhao De and the others to take the blame.

"This is tricky!"

"What's tricky?"

Just as Gu Han was thinking and muttering to himself, Captain Zhang appeared behind him without him noticing.

Hearing Captain Zhang's words, Gu Han quickly turned around and bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Captain Zhang."

"I was just thinking about how we can get these prisoners to obediently cooperate with us and divulge information."

Hearing Gu Han's "nonsense," Captain Zhang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Kid Gu, you just became a reserve and you're already so eager to achieve merit!"

Gu Han chuckled upon hearing this, his right hand instinctively scratching his head.

"It's just that I want to achieve merit quickly so I can exchange it for some Medicinal Pills."

"I want to reach the Meridian Connecting Realm as soon as possible, pass the assessment, and become your subordinate sooner."

Looking at Gu Han's appearance, Captain Zhang couldn't help but tease him.

"Kid Gu, are you sure I'll take you in?"

Hearing this, Gu Han hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Please give me a chance, sir, so I can repay your kindness."

Little did he know, Gu Han was just looking for a superior he found agreeable.

After all, he had a grudge against Ma Yong, and he didn't know the other captains.

Captain Zhang was his best choice.

Seeing Gu Han's sincere and grateful appearance, Captain Zhang couldn't help but be slightly moved.

"Kid Gu, I agree."

"If you pass the assessment, I will take you in."

Afterwards, Captain Zhang sternly warned him.

"Kid Gu, Cultivation must be done step by step; you must not be greedy and rush forward."

"And you must not rely too heavily on Medicinal Pills."

"Otherwise, I fear you won't be able to break through to higher Realms."

Hearing this, Gu Han smiled inwardly.

"My Cultivation is not comparable to trash like Medicinal Pills."

"Cultivating with the life origin crystal is incredibly stable and has no side effects."

However, Gu Han dared not show it, instead putting on an expression of being taught.

"Yes, I will strictly follow your teachings, sir."

Seeing Gu Han so obedient, Captain Zhang felt a spark of appreciation for his talent.

He let Gu Han accompany him to interrogate the evil cultivator who had just been captured yesterday.

Along the way, Captain Zhang told Gu Han everything about the evil cultivator they were going to interrogate.

After listening to Captain Zhang's description, Gu Han's eyes lit up.

"I was just thinking about how to obtain remnants of fate, and now one is delivered to me."

"This Captain Zhang is a good man!"

"When I have the chance, I'll help him out and assist him in rising to a higher level."

At this moment, Gu Han began to plot in his heart how to kill a few people during the interrogation.
