Chapter 371: Chapter 370: Hiding in the Prison Cell Should Be Safe_1
After the Thunder Tribulation, Heavenly Calamity Sovereign was barely left alive, charred black all over, resembling a corpse to a great extent.
“Damn it! You, at the Unification stage, how come you have encountered such a powerful Thunder Tribulation!”
Vice Headmaster Shi did not answer, but thought to himself, isn’t the destructive power of a thunder tribulation worth ten billion Spirit Stones supposed to be great?
With the experience of passing a Thunder Tribulation once before, Vice Headmaster Shi was fully prepared.
Charred black, Vice Headmaster Shi, like a sculpture, made a slight crackling sound, skin split open, and he tore to reveal a new self underneath.
“Entry-level Cicada Moulting Technique?” The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign recognized this technique.
Vice Headmaster Shi gave him a glance without responding, then gulped down an elixir. The sight made the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign green with envy.
The Entry-level Cicada Moulting Technique could only keep his body clean, yet the state of exhaustion after crossing the Thunder Tribulation still needed to be recovered through elixirs.
The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign wanted to steal the elixir, but his physical condition was so terrible that it was a blessing he could even move. Snatching the elixir was beyond his capabilities.
Vice Headmaster Shi chuckled coldly as he absorbed the medicinal effects of the elixir.
“Damn it, you ancient cultivators have ruined the honest business I barely set up. Now that you’re in my hands, you’re out of luck!”
Vice Headmaster Shi no longer abided by any Divine Ability or magical rules. He vented his anger at the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign by punching and kicking him.
“You rascal, you dare obstruct my path to wealth!”
“Do you really think cultivators of the current era are easy to bully!”
“If I don’t beat you to the point where even your mother can’t recognize you, I am not surnamed Shi!”
The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign was brutally beaten by Shi, his face bruised and battered, and not a single bone in his body was left intact, with special attention given to his private parts.
Vice Headmaster Shi shook his right hand and dropped a thick iron chain, tying the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign tightly. He hoisted him up as one might haul a pig.’
“No, can’t let him take me away!” The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign realized that Vice Headmaster Shi was someone ruthless. To follow him would surely lead to a dead end!
Must run!
He bit his tongue to draw blood, spitting out his Essence Blood, his body turning into green smoke, threw off the iron chain, and tore open a spatial rift to disappear.
“Burning lifespan!” Vice Headmaster Shi was astounded, he did not expect the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign to be so heartless. His iron chain could lock both body and soul. The Sovereign would have failed to escape without burning at least thousands of years of his lifespan.
“You’re truly ruthless! After such a burn, how many years can you still live?”
Seeing the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign’s means, Vice Headmaster Shi felt helpless: “Let it be, if he has escaped, he has escaped. I can just take revenge on other ancient cultivators.”
….
Heavenly Calamity Sovereign was still on the run, now finding it difficult to gain an upper hand in the Great Era dispute.
“The approach was wrong. I ended up encountering that psycho who was enduring the Thunder Tribulation because I was hiding in an uninhabited place. This time, I’ll hide in a city!”
He promptly changed tactics and aimed towards the nearest city.
“Goose County, nice name. ‘Wild geese flying south, rising again in the east’, it perfectly suits my situation!”
To be cautious, he used his Spiritual Sense to probe the situation in Goose County.
“Seems to be a prosperous city, and the County Magistrate is only at the Divinity Transformation Stage, quite suitable for hiding!”
A faint smile appeared on the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign’s face. A prosperous city, a weak magistrate, it was the ideal spot!
Heaven helps me too!
After burning his lifespan, his realm once again dropped, falling to the early Unification stage, nearly losing his Unification Realm status.
Due to the unique feature of the Refining the Void stage, from the Unification Stage you bypass the Refining the Void Stage, dropping directly to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
“Luck is always on my side!”
He sneaked into Goose County, considering where would be the most suitable place for him to hide and recover his realm.
“I can regain my cultivation level by absorbing the energy of others. The absorption process is better undisturbed, so I need to find an utterly dreary place!”
The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign then thought of a fantastic idea.
“To the jail!”
The rights of prisoners are often ignored, and any accidents that happen to them will not cause a stir.
He transformed into a thick smoke and slipped into the jail cell.
Once inside, he heard two people arguing.
“I’ve told you, the law isn’t meant to be used this way, what’s wrong with your mind?”
“Nonsense, I was the one who crafted this law, and you’re telling me how it should be used?”
“Just because you crafted it, you think you understand it? Yun Zhi was raised by me, I have no clue how strong she is now!”
“Bullshit!”
“You’re the one talking bullshit.”
Daoist Buyu and the Minister of Justice are arguing, the once polite and easygoing Minister of Justice becomes increasingly irritable.
“Wait a moment.” Daoist Buyu raised his hand, noticing something was wrong.
“Who’s there!”
“Such a heavy scent of blood!” The Minister of Justice was surprised, he had executed many wicked criminals, but none carried a scent of blood as heavy as the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign.
Demon cultivators fear the strength of the righteous path and have secret methods to conceal their scent of blood, but the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign did not have this concept. In the Great Yu era, whether one had a strong or faint scent of blood was a trivial matter, sometimes even regarded as a symbol of honor.
“Hehe, since the two of you youngsters can sense my presence, then be nourishment for me!” The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign thought he had accidentally revealed his presence just now. However, this was a trivial matter, he had his own ways to control these two!
If he couldn’t deal with others, he could at least handle these prisoners, right?
A gloomy and terrifying glow suddenly appeared, the evil energy whirled in the narrow space, generating a black hole-like force. Silent screams echoed in the air, seemingly coming from an endless abyss.
Become my servant!”
The Minister of Justice took action decisively, a large, invisible, golden hand slapped away the dense smoke. The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign fell and rolled to the floor, the gloomy light, evil energy, and silent screams all vanished.
“What nonsense is this, daring to show off these tricks in front of this official!”
The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign fell to the ground, taken aback.
How did he fall over?
“A demon cultivator, seize him!” Daoist Buyu took action, his sword’s heart pulsated, thousands of sword qi circulated magnificently, filling the entire space.
The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign couldn’t even escape by tearing through space!
Daoist Buyu, who often escaped, knows how to deal with those who often escape.
Only Yun Zhi could restrict him. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have had a chance.
The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign: “…..”
The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign was speechless for a long time, he didn’t even know how to express his feelings.
What’s happening? Why are such powerful individuals locked up in prison?
They were even more formidable than the lunatic who was undergoing the Thunder Tribulation just now!
There were no restrictions in this jail cell. What were you two doing here, enjoying a jail cell’s winter warmth and summer coolness?
“Who is this man?” The Minister of Justice had never seen someone with such a death wish.
“Who knows? He’s clearly nothing good, probably some ancient cultivator who’s never seen the world before. He was likely injured and came to this cell to recover. Let’s capture him; this would count as a significant merit for us. Maybe our sentences will be reduced!” Daoist Buyu excitedly proposed. What joy to achieve merits while in prison.
The Minister of Justice also became excited at Daoist Buyu’s words.
Yun Zhi had been following the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign, and upon seeing this situation, she let out a sigh. It seemed impossible to expect the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign to return to his old home now.
She had no choice. The Heavenly Calamity Sovereign was incredibly unlucky. First, he encountered Old Horse, and got kicked by him. Then, he underwent Thunder Tribulation with Vice Headmaster Shi. Finally, he ended up in Goose County’s jail cell with her master and the Minister of Justice, only to be captured by these two peak Unification stage individuals. It was a miracle he survived after all these incidents.
Yun Zhi had never seen someone so unlucky.
She’ll have to take him back for intense interrogation.
She appeared in the jail cell, “Master, Minister, it’s been a long time.”
