Above all spirits

Chapter 447 The Prison Warden (Part 1)

What does "benefit" mean in the context of "benefit"?

"Is it considered a benefit if someone can refuse to ask you for help?"

"Forehead..."

Gu Yun couldn't refute it; it seemed she had indeed been reminded of that at the time.

This opportunity can be declined.

"And...look how destined we are, you're 96, I'm 69, hehehehe."

Guangxuzi chuckled in a very lewd manner.

Gu Yun unconsciously twitched the corner of her mouth.

Rather than making irrelevant jokes, Gu Yun wanted to know the other party's true intentions.

"Why are you looking for me?"

What do you want from me?

For someone as glib and smooth-talking as Guang Xuzi, trying to subtly probe him will only make him amuse himself by teasing you.

and so.

Gu Yun chose to question him directly.

The result was not good.

Guang Xuzi simply patted Gu Yun on the back, avoiding the topic.

"let's go."

"Brother Gu, you're overthinking it. You and I are destined to be together; there's a cause and effect at play. I'm just fulfilling that cause and effect."

Ah.

This cause and effect is better left unaddressed.

Gu Yun sneered, not believing his words.

But he couldn't stop it.

Since he also has a badge, that is his right, his right as a contestant.

After Gu Yun showed his token and passed through, Guang Xuzi also stepped into the teleportation array.

...

The 'Ice Domain' star in the Extreme Emperor Domain.

This is a blue planet.

In the far north of this planet.

In the endless sea dotted with a few ice floes.

There is a huge island.

The island was shrouded in a thin layer of sea fog.

The fog was very light, yet it gave people a sense of illusion, making the entire island appear and disappear.

The seawater surrounding the island is not the icy blue that gives a sense of tranquility to the surrounding waters, but a deep blue that is almost black.

This visual disparity creates an overwhelming sense of oppression.

It's as if there's a giant sea monster with its jaws wide open beneath this island.

Of course, this is not just visual.

If you consciously try to perceive it, it won't be difficult to discover.

Soul energy circulates within these unusually colored seawaters.

In line with outside rumors, it is likely that it is maintaining the operation of some kind of formation within the Prison Suppression Bureau.

The island is filled with buildings.

The very center of the place is where the two of them are headed.

The Prison Administration Office.

This place is specifically for imprisoning demons who wantonly break the rules and challenge the majesty of the Supreme Emperor's Palace in the Supreme Emperor's Demon Realm, or for dealing with traitors, that is, spies planted by other forces in the Supreme Emperor's Palace.

Rumor has it that a terrifying demon is imprisoned at the bottom of the Prison Ward.

But whether it was true or not, no one could verify it, and no one dared to cause trouble in the prison.

The teleportation array flashed by.

The two arrived at the outer perimeter of the prison.

Gu Yun took a long look at the prison guards in front of him.

The prison is divided into an inner circle and an outer circle.

The two were separated by a powerful force, forming a circular chasm.

The surrounding area consists of only some fairly ordinary buildings.

Most of them are industries that produce basic necessities to maintain daily life.

Examples include forging magical artifacts and running small inns.

Of course, all those who were able to enter the outer perimeter of the Town Prison Bureau were forces backed by the Imperial Palace, and even the First Chamber of Commerce had no ability to infiltrate them.

As for which faction within the Imperial Palace it was, that remains unknown.

Although the surrounding buildings are ordinary, the ravine in front of us seems to be no ordinary ravine at all.

You can figure it out just by thinking about it.

If it were an ordinary ravine, even cultivators at the Overlord Realm of the Lower Realm could leap across it with ease, let alone use it to stop the beings of the Upper Realm who roam freely with gods and demons; it would be a meaningless existence.

Would meaningless things exist in a place like the Prison Guard?

Obviously impossible.

Gu Yun guessed that there must be something under the ravine, or that the ravine itself was abnormal.

As for why I say that...

The main reason is that Gu Yuntian is preoccupied with the Demon Emperor's intentions.

He could sense a powerful negative emotion emanating from the ravine.

No, this can hardly be called an emotion anymore. If we were to generalize it according to Earth's standards, it could even be called resentment.

Why is there such a strong resentment?

What lies below?

Say something.

Gu Yun was very interested.

This was the instinctive reaction that the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will was giving him.

In other words.

The resentment below can be absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will and converted into experience points.

Gu Yun had experienced the slight experience points brought by emotions before, which were almost negligible, but the resentment before him was probably extraordinary.

"Brother Gu, you also sensed the strangeness of this ravine?"

After noticing Gu Yun's expression, Guang Xuzi spoke slowly.

However, what puzzled Guang Xuzi was why Gu Yun had an expectant look on his face.

Shouldn't a normal person feel awe, disgust, or fear, or like myself, be able to control their emotions in a short period of time and remain calm so that no one notices anything amiss?

However, most of them are the former.

The reason I was able to settle down so quickly was, to be honest, because my purpose in coming here was related to this prison. I had learned about this place beforehand, and thus had some idea of ​​what was below this ravine.

Even so, even if I was mentally prepared beforehand.

The moment you realize it, you can't help but feel disgust and fear.

but...

Why is that?

Why would a demon look at this indescribable thing with such anticipation...?

Could it be that Gu Yun, who is standing before us, has some connection with the one below the ravine?

How can this be?

Even from a distance, the senses are drawn out.

Interrupted by Guang Xuzi's words, Gu Yun instantly realized his lapse in composure.

How could I forget that I have such a burden following me?

"Cough cough."

"I was simply stunned by the sight before me, a sight that was almost impossible for ordinary forces to achieve."

Guang Xuzi narrowed his eyes and teased.

"Brother Gu, are you truly shocked?"

Gu Yun asked indifferently.

"if not?"

"Aren't you shocked? You shouldn't be. Anyone who sees such a grand display for the first time would stop and stare in awe."

"Unless... you've already been here?"

Guang Xuzi was stunned. He immediately felt countless cold lights piercing his skin and was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand.

"Holy crap, don't talk nonsense!"

"How could I, an old Taoist priest, have been here before?"

"With my meager strength, daring to come here on my own is like throwing a meat bun to a dog; I'll never return."

This statement came out.

The tension that had enveloped me instantly dissipated.

It seems that he agreed with Guangxuzi's words.

Guang Xuzi wiped the cold sweat from his palms and decided to temporarily give up on pursuing Gu Yun.

Although he was very interested in Gu Yun.

But it's just a hobby.

The prison is heavily guarded and has many eyes.

It's best not to ask, say, or think too much.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he casually pointed to a stone bridge at the far end of the road.

This is a huge stone bridge constructed of obsidian.

"It seems that this is the only way to cross this ravine and reach the interior of the Prison Administration."
