Chapter 437: The Second Servant of the Heavenly Mystery Palace (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was the first time Xiao Shi had seen such rules. After he handed the items and stepped into the city, the first thing he saw was a huge fortress that existed in the city. This fortress was like a city within a city, but its entire body was dark red, emitting a ferocious and bloody aura.
There was a faint scene of collapse around the void he was in, as if the spacetime he was in was different from this world. This dark red fortress was the largest prison in the Xingluo Province!
“What a strong murderous aura!” As soon as Xiao Shi stepped into this city, he felt the bloody murderous aura that assaulted his face, making him feel as if he had returned to the demonic faction. However, this baleful aura was all coming from the huge prison in the city.
On the way here, Xiao Shi had already understood the largest prison in the Xingluo Province. From this, he knew that there were four different types of criminals in this prison.
The first was the heinous criminals in the Xingluo Territory. This didn’t only include the Xingluo Province. There were also villains from other states.
The second was the various evil cults in the Xingluo Territory. These evil cults were even more harmful to the entire Xingluo Territory than the demonic forces. For example, the Seven Star Province back then was destroyed by the evil spirits and bizarre spirits produced by the evil cult. Although compared to the Cangyan Territory next door, there were not many evil cults in the Xingluo Territory, however, there were still a few evil cults lurking in the Xingluo Territory.
The third type of prisoners were all kinds of spirit bodies and anomalies, such as evil spirits and bizarre spirits. They belonged to two different spirit bodies.
The last one that was imprisoned was also the one with the most prisoners in this prison. That was the people from the demonic path factions. It was worth mentioning that Prison City happened to be at the border of the orthodox factions in Xingluo Province. It was adjacent to the demonic path.
Perhaps it was because of this that nearly half of the Xingluo Province belonged to the demonic factions. Therefore, there were many people of the demonic factions in the prison.
The reason why the position of warden tempted many of the Xingluo Army was because there was no war in the Xingluo Province now, and there was no need for the Xingluo Army to suppress them everywhere.
Therefore, the Xingluo Army usually did not have much to gain. In comparison, the jailer’s job was very profitable! As a result, many Xingluo Army’s soldiers fought to be jailers.
“If I want to become a jailer, I have to first become a member of the Xingluo Army. Although it’s not difficult for me to join the Xingluo Army with my ability and conditions, it’s very difficult for me to become a jailer.
The conditions to become a member of the Xingluo Army mainly depended on two things. One was aptitude and talent. The other was the various identities tests. It was to prevent people from evil cults or demonic forces from secretly infiltrating the Xingluo Army.
It was not difficult for Xiao Shi to have aptitude and talent. His identity would not be directly detected as a member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. It could be said that it was not difficult for him to become the Xingluo Army.
The difficult part was becoming a jailer from the Xingluo Army. The position of jailer had always been coveted by many members of the Xingluo Army. If he wanted to become a jailer, he could not do it with powerful aptitude and talent. No matter how talented he was, if he was only a newbie, it was impossible for him to become a jailer.
If one wanted to take on the role of a jailer, it would look at qualifications and seniority. The higher the qualifications, the higher the chance of becoming a jailer. It also depended on the lord’s trust in him. Only the Xingluo Army, who had gained the lord’s trust, could be a jailer.
“Regardless of whether I join the Xingluo Army as a main body or a clone, I definitely won’t be able to become a jailer in a short period of time. I would have to start low and work my way up. Too slow! 1 don’t have that much time.”
Xiao Shi directly ruled out this method. This method was only suitable for Qianqi Mountain and was not suitable for jailers.
“The most suitable method is to find the corpse of a jailer, and turn this jailer’s corpse into my clone. Then, as a jailer, I’ll contact and investigate Xiang Zizhen.” Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered. However, there were also a few difficulties in this method.
First, he had to find the jailer’s corpse that was compatible with his soul. Secondly, the jailer’s corpse had to have sufficient strength and cultivation. It would be best if it was in the Martial Soul Realm.
And the most troublesome thing was, even if he used his soul to turn this dead jailer into his clone, he did not have the other party’s memories. This way, even if he entered prison, he would be instantly exposed.
“In terms of memories, I can use the information from the Heavenly Mystery Palace to investigate. Although the information 1 obtained can’t be as complete as his memories, it’s enough for me to deal with the others and not reveal any flaws.”
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought. In this case, the key was to find the corpse of a jailer that was compatible with his soul and had the strength of the Martial Soul Realm.
“I can’t find the kind of jailers that everyone knows are dead. It’s best to find those jailers who are missing and whose fate is unknown. Otherwise, I’ll capture a lone jailer, kill him, and replace him.”
After Xiao Shi thought for a while, he decided to observe the city first. He would see if there was such a chance first. After two days of observation, Xiao Shi realized that it was extremely difficult for him to implement this plan.
The jailers in Prison City spent most of their time in prison and rarely went out. There were also Martial Demon Realm experts holding down the city. Furthermore, there was more than one Martial Demon Realm expert,
Even if Xiao Shi wanted to assassinate the jailers in the city, it was impossible for him to hide it from these Martial Demon Realm experts. The jailer’s corpse could not be found. There was no jailer’s grave in the city. Moreover, corpses that were resurrected from the tomb would also be treated as monsters.
“This is a little tricky.” Xiao Shi frowned. He realized that it was impossible to find a suitable corpse in Prison City. He could only think of a way from the outside. “Or, I need the help of some higher-level people.”
Xiao Shi immediately thought of Wu Muzhen.
As a Martial Demon Realm expert of the Xingluo Province, although Xiao Shi had not asked about his exact identity in the Xingluo Province, Wu Muzhen might have the ability to get a jailer’s corpse for him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi contacted Wu Muzhen again. As the number one lackey of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, Wu Muzhen had always handled all the requests Xiao Shi made dutifully.
However, when Xiao Shi asked him if he could get his hands on the jailer’s corpse,
Wu Muzhen was in a dilemma. He did not dare to kill these jailers. With the jailer’s status in Xingluo Province, even a Martial Demon Realm expert like him did not dare to touch them. After all, these jailers were all people that the Lord of Xingluo Territory valued. Whoever dared to touch them would have to face the wrath of the Lord.
Xiao Shi did not expect even Wu Muzhen to be helpless. He thought for a moment and asked, “Can you find out the whereabouts of the jailers who are not in the city?”
Since Wu Muzhen did not dare to kill him, Xiao Shi planned to hunt by himself. In any case, he was replacing the soul, not killing in the conventional sense. As long as he hid it well, the lord would not notice anything amiss.
“Well…” Wu Muzhen was sweating profusely. He could do whatever Xiao Shi had instructed him to do in the past. However, this time, it was really beyond his ability. This was because he had already exhausted his energy when he used the Heavenly Mystery Eye to investigate the disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Now, he could no longer use the Heavenly Mystery Eye to investigate.
This made him anxious. He was worried that if he couldn’t do it this time, Xiao Shi wouldn’t ask him to do anything in the future. After some internal struggle, he gritted his teeth. “If you want the whereabouts of these jailers, I can recommend someone to you, Palace Master. He’s a high-ranking member of the Xingluo Army and also a member of our Heavenly Mystery Palace. He should be able to find out the whereabouts of these jailers.”
Xiao Shi nodded. He should indeed develop another lackey in the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Just one lackey was clearly starting to be insufficient..
