Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 125 - 16: Surprise from Purgatory, the Third Golden Talent_3

Chapter 125: Chapter 16: Surprise from Purgatory, the Third Golden Talent_3

Their value wasn’t high.

It was the kind of situation where, even if you got something out of the interrogation, it was fine; if you didn’t, it was still fine.

So even if they all died, it was nothing worth caring about.

These prisoners were still a bit bewildered at this point, clearly not understanding why, after sitting quietly in their cells, they were suddenly dragged out. Hadn’t their punishment already been carried out?

It wasn’t until they were tied to the wooden racks and the whips fell.

The screams were endless.

"Hundred-Forged Divine Weapon (Gold): Possesses extremely high talent for any weapon; even with weapons you’ve never encountered before, the moment you obtain it, you can wield it as if it were an extension of your own body."

One hour later, Ye Liuyun left the Imperial Prison.

Looking at the brand new character template, Ye Liuyun smiled with satisfaction.

As expected, this Purgatory hadn’t let him down.

The third gold talent entry had finally been stacked up.

Some of the other talent entries, even if they hadn’t leveled up, had still gained a fair bit of experience.

"A weapon-type talent, huh?"

After absorbing various weapon-related talents, the previously purple-grade Twin Saber & Sword Mastery talent had successfully evolved into the gold-grade Hundred-Forged Divine Weapon.

Whether it was saber, spear, sword, halberd, axe, mace, hook, fork, or some of the more obscure weapons—

Ye Liuyun could master them instantly, the moment he touched them.

"Not bad!"

No matter how you looked at it, this was a solid talent, one that could rapidly boost his strength in a short time. Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied.

He didn’t return to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Instead, he headed straight back to his residence.

This was a good chance to learn his way around; it’d make things smoother next time.

Now that the third gold entry was here, the fourth and fifth couldn’t be far behind, could they?

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun even hummed a little tune in a relaxed mood as he walked home.

Not bad at all. This Purgatory really isn’t bad at all.

Meanwhile, inside Purgatory.

After Ye Liuyun left, Chang Liu only watched for a moment before turning and leaving to prepare to swap shifts.

Purgatory wasn’t managed by Chang Liu alone.

There were several others who took turns overseeing the place.

"What’s with that Lord Thousand Households? What’s he here for?"

When Chang Liu returned, several jailors looked at him with curiosity.

Clearly, they’d heard that someone from the Embroidered Uniform Guard—a Lord Thousand Households—had come to Purgatory.

"Purpose?"

Thinking of Ye Liuyun who’d just left,

Though it seemed unbelievable, Chang Liu still replied,

"Likes watching prisoners tortured to death—that count as a purpose?"

"???"

They’d thought that a dignified Lord Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guard coming to Purgatory must have some secret agenda.

But this answer honestly floored them.

"Are you joking?"

Some even thought Chang Liu must be messing with them.

"I really wish I were joking."

Chang Liu looked helpless.

He even patiently explained everything Ye Liuyun did since showing up at Purgatory, every request he made.

Even down to the changes in his expression—Chang Liu described it all in detail.

"Ah, shit!"

They still found it hard to believe.

But hearing Chang Liu talk, the guy really did seem like a twisted psycho.

"Is being in the Embroidered Uniform Guard that stressful these days?"

"Maybe."

"Eh, whatever. Doesn’t matter if he’s got some hidden scheme. As long as that grandmaster is here, nothing will go wrong in Purgatory."

Their levels varied a lot among the jailors.

The strongest among them wasn’t even Innate realm.

With that, there was no way Purgatory could have stayed safe for so many years.

Of course, it was thanks to a Grandmaster Realm martial artist inside Purgatory, safeguarding its security.

If anything happened in Purgatory, that Grandmaster could act and suppress it instantly.

Thinking this way,

all the jailors relaxed a bit.

"So what if that Lord Thousand Households keeps showing up?"

"Let him. We’ve got plenty of useless prisoners in Purgatory anyway."

So what if a few insignificant prisoners died?

Besides, these people should have died ages ago; keeping them alive this long was mercy in itself.

As soon as those words fell,

The jailors exchanged glances, then all nodded at one another.

And with that, none of them dwelled on the matter any further.

, , ,

Likewise—

Over with Southern Governor Qi Yuanliang.

Though still running himself ragged over the Shi Xing’an affair,

Qi Yuanliang hadn’t stopped observing Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun had barely stepped out of Purgatory when Qi Yuanliang received news.

"Purgatory? What was he doing there?"

Qi Yuanliang was suspicious—why would Ye Liuyun go to Purgatory?

But once the specific details reached him, Qi Yuanliang fell silent.

He’d heard bits and pieces about Ye Liuyun’s actions in the Imperial Prison, but hadn’t paid them much mind.

Now, right after becoming Lord Thousand Households, the first thing he did was rush off to Purgatory to watch prisoners being executed.

Qi Yuanliang almost wondered—

If he tried recruiting Ye Liuyun again, maybe he ought to change strategies; using this angle seemed simple enough.

Isn’t it just about watching people die?

In a time like this, nothing was cheaper than human life.

Thinking this, Qi Yuanliang shook his head, putting the reports aside.

He’d already decided—in Ye Liuyun’s case, better to deal with it later. First, he had to figure out why Shi Xing’an went crazy.

Otherwise, the thought of someone lurking in the shadows, plotting against him, made Qi Yuanliang uncomfortable all over.

"Just who could it be!"
