Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1013 - 518: Water Prison (2)

Chen Xuantian also pinched a mantra and patted the back of his head,

"Oh, scared, little constable? Still want to be a hero? You can still regret it now~~"

Yang Yunzhao was severely injured and had been soaked for a long time, already delirious, his lips trembling. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Bastards... you all... better let me out, or else... don’t blame me for being rude..."

"Heh, still being stubborn, aren’t you? Well, didn’t you want to arrest criminals? These are all Nangong Family’s criminals, why don’t you lift your head and look~"

So Yang Yunzhao dazedly lifted his head, only to see the swollen corpse parts and dry skeletal remains stabbed on the spikes beside him, each opening their maggot-infested mouths, staring with hollow eye sockets, turning their heads to make creepy faces at him, spitting fly maggots, stretching out ghostly hands, rushing straight at him!

"On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Pan Zhang led his private soldiers to rob our family’s three fishing boats, my husband and brother argued back and were beheaded and thrown into the river. My young daughter was also hung here unable to reincarnate!"

"He comes daily to drink the wine my family brews without paying! When drunk, he complains it’s not good enough! He drowned my child in the wine jar!"

"They say my family’s handed-down bow was privately-made military equipment... My ten-year-old son was dragged to the camp as an arrow carrier and froze to death on Moling Road."

"The Nangong Family wanted to reform 500 sets of armor, forcing us to forge day and night. Those who didn’t meet the quota had their hands chopped off and thrown into the forge as fuel! My bones! My bones are still stuck in the armor rings!"

"Everything was snatched away! My property! My family! My life was taken by the Immortal Palace! Give it back to me! Give my things back to me!!"

"Ahhhh!"

On the boat, Yang Yunzhao struggled desperately, howling miserably with eyes shut, his whole body spasming and twitching.

Chan Zi lifted the canvas and covered him, frowning for a moment,

"What’s up with him now? Cramping?"

"No worries, just saw a ghost."

Chen Xuantian casually pointed to hit Yang Yunzhao’s acupoint, drew a talisman on his forehead to calm him down, then lightly flew ashore,

"Alright, you take him over."

"You’re not going?"

"I’ll cover the rear."

"Okay, be careful."

Chen Xuantian waved goodbye to Chan Zi, watching the little boat disappear into the night mist, then turned around with hands behind his back to see a Divinity Transformation Giant Monk who had silently stood behind, glaring at him.

"What, seeking death?"

The giant monk, with pupils the size of green beans, stared intently at Chen Xuantian,

"I wonder what advice you have, Honored One."

Chen Xuantian smiled,

"Aren’t I advising you already? Under the bright heavens, in the eyes of the public, you want to pluck souls and refine artifacts under my watch? Are you seeking death?"

The giant monk didn’t get angry, just looked at the ripples from the small boat,

"Honored One has real skills and great calculation, seeing through my background upon first meeting.

Moreover, your methods reach the heavens, boundless divine skills, in one night you could find an Innate Yin Yang Tongming Saint Body to break my scheme.

With just a wave, you break my divine skills, destroy my array, ruin my Dao Foundation, and seize my soul.

At ease, you ruin my ten years of hard work, all destroyed at once... Admirable and laudable..."

Chen Xuantian chuckled, cupping his fist skyward,

"Too kind, too kind, I was just doing someone a favor for a benefit.

By sheer fortune from Cangtian’s watchful eyes, and with friends’ help, I achieved it easily."

The giant monk shifted his gaze to Chen Xuantian’s face,

"Easily, huh... still don’t know your esteemed teacher and high name, and where the Mountain Lord practices."

Chen Xuantian laughed,

"No need to ask, and I won’t answer. For someone like you, a heterodox, setting foot in Central Earth is your path to death.

Dare to recklessly kill under a Mountain Man’s watch, extracting souls and refining spirits, clearly disregarding my Mystic Sect, everyone is justified in eradicating you.

Today, I uphold justice, lightly punish you, and waste your ten years of cultivation. I hope you take care of yourself. A thousand years of Taoist cultivation, don’t waste it.

Or else both form and spirit will be destroyed, and jade and stone will be burnt. Don’t say you weren’t warned."

The giant monk and Chen Xuantian stared at each other for a while, then bowed respectfully,

"Thank you, True Man, for sparing me."

In the blink of an eye, the giant monk vanished into the night.

Chen Xuantian, smiling, wiped away some sweat.

Maddening, almost got disintegrated as a soldier...

Sigh... Foundation Establishment against Divinity Transformation is really outrageous, but fortunately, the opponent was bluffed, perhaps thinking it’s unwise to turn against for such trivial matters...

However, honestly, even Chen Xuantian was bluffed this time.

After all, who believes that the young general from the Yang Family would go out to be a constable just out of sheer boredom to take a leisurely trip in Li Country and conveniently cultivate a field? Naturally, Chen Xuantian didn’t believe a single word he said!!!

So, to confirm this guy’s true intention, whether he’s deliberately lying and plotting, or inherently foolish, Chen Xuantian used the Nangong Family as a scapegoat to test his depth.

This time, tagging along was purely to see if his fate is truly firm enough, and if really caught in the disaster, how skilled the person behind him is to break him free.

Then he saw the Realm of Nine Heavens and Nine Prisons, Infinite Silence, and Destruction Reincarnation in the water prison...

Hmm, simply put, this is an extremely vicious and evil magic array barrier, imprisoning vengeful souls in an endless cycle unable to reincarnate, turning the surrounding hundreds of miles into a ghostly demon cave, creating a desolate land of extreme Yin and fierce evil. The Western Regions’ evil demons and heretics particularly fancy this so it was learned by the Divine Lord, taking its essence, integrated into the Ten Absolute Array.

Unlike the Ten Absolute Array which is combat-oriented, this barrier is more defensive. If heterodox cultivators don’t know the inside path, they might fall into its Demon Path when entering, their divine soul mistakenly entering reincarnation, gradually wearing down divine light and spiritual wisdom through nine cycles, dropping realms each cycle, until soul disperses and essence blood withers, form and spirit both perish, becoming mere material for others.

This array is specifically used for seclusion and self-defense, cultivating destructive Demon Skills banned by the world, avoiding heavenly thunder and enemies’ pursuit, and can offer sacrificial captives in the array, extracting souls and ghosts, using essence blood and remnants to refine infinitely powerful, unconscionable Evil Scripture Treasures to tremendously increase power, pure evil demons and heretics.

Fortunately, these unconscionable Evil Technique Demon Scriptures have considerable restraints, also lacking Divine Lord’s peerless talent for improvement, often requiring long preparation, without decades to centuries of meticulous setup, it’s impossible to form. This time, the giant monk even hid the Array Eye in the water prison, using the corpse energy execution ground to conceal his deadly trap, cautiously collecting prisoners for a decade, far from the time to activate the array.

Of course, theoretically, even if a proper mystic sect realizes something, it’s unlikely to intervene at this point.

After all, the pig isn’t ready for slaughter, why rush, right? Therefore, Mountain Men habits are often to turn a blind eye, ignore it, only watching these Demon Heads and Ancestors spark a major disaster, achieve great success in Divine Skills, committing heinous, inhumane deeds, slaughtering and refining hundreds of thousands of vengeful souls and blood sacrifices, creating infinitely powerful Divine Skills and Magic Treasures.

Only when there is profit to be gained does a crowd of old immortals jump out from nooks and crannies, shouting "Evil demons, heretics, unconscionable massacres of living beings, everyone is justified in eradicating you! Let us join forces to enforce justice and travel the path of heaven, no need for Jianghu integrity!", then they sweep away like a storm, crush everything, take the spoils, and dismember the Demon Head Ancestors for alchemy...

So this time, the giant monk was indeed caught off guard by Chen Xuantian. Really didn’t expect before the dish was cooked, or any seasoning added, someone would move against him! Even more unexpected was to find someone bringing an Innate Yin Yang Tongming Saint Body! Like a vacuum cleaner, "whoosh—" instantly absorbed the tens of thousands of wandering souls in the array, even taking the whole pot with him!

Who are you? What do you mean?? Can you play by the rules? Pulling such a stunt, just because I glared at you yesterday!? Fine! You’re badass! You have attitude! I can’t outsmart you, I’m rolling away, wouldn’t that do!

Thus, the monk promptly stopped the loss and scrammed away.

Honestly, now Chen Xuantian also wants to slip away, but he knows he can’t, after all, he’s not an idiot.

For today’s situation, the other side probably arranged it twenty years ago, how could they let him off easily?

Sigh, originally wanted a share from the Nangong Family, better be honest and go back to befriending that little constable...
