Chapter 63: Refining the Divine Soul

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The location of the Devil Slayers Division’s dungeon was the deepest part of the Devil Slayers Division’s Headquarters.

If one wanted to divide the various areas of the Devil Slayers Division Headquarters into a certain degree of importance, one would be able to do so.

The underground prison was undoubtedly the most important place here.

After all, if something happened here and the demons and monsters inside could escape.

Before the Qingyun Sect cultivators arrived, the entire Great Xia Imperial capital might have been destroyed.

Just as Lu Yuan arrived at the entrance of the underground prison.

The two practitioners who were guarding the dungeon at the door hurriedly stood up.

“Greetings, Director green flame.”

Lu Yuan waved his hand. “It’s Okay. Between the two of you, choose one to lead the way for me. I’m… very interested in this dungeon.”

Upon hearing this, the elderly practitioner hurriedly hinted at the young practitioner beside him with a look.

The young practitioner immediately came back to his senses after receiving such a hint.

Leading the way for the new director was obviously a good opportunity to show off!

If he performed well later.

Perhaps he would be able to leave this dark dungeon.

After all, it was really boring to stay here all day.

Thinking of this, the young practitioner hurriedly stepped forward.

“Director, please follow me. I’ll bring you in.”

Lu Yuan nodded, then subconsciously asked, “What’s your name?”

The young practitioner was delighted. Then, he replied excitedly, “R-Report director, my name is Shi Anfu, a bronze-rank practitioner.”

“Shi Anfu, right? I’ll remember it…Lead the way.”

“This subordinate will obey!”

Under Shi Anfu’s lead, Lu Yuan quickly entered the dungeon.

Along the way, Shi Anfu also began to tell Lu Yuan about the people imprisoned in this dungeon.

These people could be roughly divided into ‘martial artists’, ‘cultivators’, ‘demons’, and some ‘non-human, non-demon’ strange and evil spirits.

According to the danger level of the prisoners, the prison cells were divided into three Grades: ‘A, B, and C.

Amongst them, the ‘A-Grade prison cell’ usually imprisoned ‘Innate Stage material artists’, ‘Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators’ or powerful ■great demons’.

The ‘B-Grade prison cell’ imprisoned Qi Cultivation Stage, small demons, Acquired Stage martial artists, and so on.

The people locked up in the ‘C-Grade prison cell’ were those who had some small abilities or those prisoners who did not deserve death.

And among all the prison cells, the ‘C-Grade prison cell’ was the only one that could allow people to leave alive.

The remaining ones were locked up in ‘A and ‘B* prison cells.

They were either imprisoned until death or executed by the Devil Slayers Division.

In any case, they could not leave the dungeons alive.

After understanding this, Lu Yuan turned to Shi Anfu and asked, “Take me to the A-Grade prison cell.”

“Yes, sir.”

Not long after, Lu Yuan passed through levels of guards and arrived at the deepest part of the dungeon.

They were now almost thirty meters deep underground.

Not only was the light dim, but the air was also extremely humid. There was also an unpleasant rancid smell.

“Roar!

H

Just as Lu Yuan entered the A-Grade prison cell area, a furious roar filled with vigour instantly came.

Lu Yuan frowned in the face of this provocative roar.

“Impudent.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of dazzling green flames emitted from Lu Yuan’s body.

Immediately after, a majestic spiritual pressure pressed down in the direction of the roar.

“Woo-”

After sensing Lu Yuan’s spiritual pressure.

The guy who wanted to show Lu Yuan his might earlier immediately cowered.

Lu Yuan had spiritual pressure from three way of the heavens spiritual roots. It was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

Not to mention these evil and karmic fellows.

The ‘way of heavens energy’ on Lu Yuan’s body was an existence that was extremely restraining on them.

Therefore, when Lu Yuan released the spiritual pressure in his body without holding back.

The noisy underground prison instantly became quiet.

It was obvious that they had realized that the person who had come was not to be trifled with.

Shi Anfu, who was beside him, saw everything.

He secretly sighed. As expected of the director. His methods were not ordinary.

After suppressing these unruly fellows.

Lu Yuan also began to secretly observe the situation of these guys.

There were a total of 30 cells in the area where Grade A prisoners were held.

Each cell was locked up with an individual extremely vicious fellow.

Among these guys, there were only three that Lu Yuan was somewhat wary of.

Among the three, one was a demon, one was an evil cultivator, and the last one was something that Lu Yuan could not explain.

According to Lu Yuan’s judgment, these three guys’ cultivation should have peaked at Foundation Establishment Stage during their prime.

However, since these three guys were all locked up, they were equivalent to tigers that had lost their claws and teeth.

It was no threat to Lu Yuan at all.

Therefore, after simply intimidating these guys, Lu Yuan looked at Shi Anfu and asked, “How did our division deal with these guys in the past?”

“Sir, the Devil Slayers Division usually has three ways to deal with A-Grade prisoners.”

“The first way was to choose a specific executioner to execute these guys.”

“The second way, after failing multiple executions, they will be imprisoned here until they are killed.”

“The third way is to hand them over to the Qingyun Celestial Sect.”

Lu Yuan’s interest was piqued when he heard the last sentence.

“The Qingyun Sect will specially send people here to take over the prisoners?”

“Yes, you may not know, there are some criminals imprisoned here are for transfers to the Celestial Sect.”

“Then bring me to someone who doesn’t need to be handed over to the celestial sect.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Anfu almost understood what Lu Yuan wanted to do.

It was obvious that the new director wanted to kill a Grade A prisoner himself.

Similar situations had happened before.

After all, those who could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage generally had some family background.

They were imprisoned here mainly to squeeze out the last bit of their value.

Once they were no longer useful, they were basically declared dead.

As a result, many evil cultivators and great demons who were locked up here would rather die than reveal their practitioner pathway or the location of their treasures.

They knew very well that only by keeping these secrets would they be able to live longer.

However, faced with the various tortures by the Devil Slayers Division, not many people could keep their secrets.

Under Shi Anfu’s lead, Lu Yuan quickly arrived at a Grade A prison cell.

In the dark and damp cell, an old man with a haggard face was leaning against the wall and sitting motionless on the ground.

The old man’s body was very thin. His limbs and chest were penetrated by specific chains, blocking the possibility of him circulating his spiritual energy.

It was like a dead person.

“Sir, this is the Grade A criminal, Black Mountain Practitioner.”

“His crime was mainly to use living people to cultivate evil techniques. When he was arrested, he had already killed a total of 1,084 people.”

“Amongst his victims were three silver-rank practitioners of the Devil Slayers Division. In the end, the gold-rank great practitioner, Lion-ape, personally subdued this devilish way and locked it up in the Devil Slayers Division.”

“During his imprisonment, a total of twelve executioners died in his hands, so he was temporarily escorted to the A-Grade cell.”

Lu Yuan nodded. “I understand. You can leave first. Without my orders, you don’t need to come in.”

“This subordinate will obey.”

After Shi Anfu left, Lu Yuan walked up to the Black Mountain Practitioner alone.

The Black Mountain Practitioner, who was originally sitting quietly on the ground, suddenly exploded when Lu Yuan approached within a certain distance.

A large amount of blood flowed out from the wound that had been pierced by the chain.

Under the guidance of a certain force, it formed a blood-coloured evil spirit and pounced towards Lu Yuan…

However, just as the blood-coloured evil spirit was about to pounce on Lu Yuan.

A green spiritual energy turtleshell shield instantly appeared on Lu Yuan’s face.

Thump!

As expected, after theblood-colouredd evil spirit collided with the spiritual energy turtleshell shield, it did not pose any threat to the shield.

Sensing the terrifying defensive power of the shield, the blood-coloured evil spirit looked at Lu Yuan with fear.

Then, he returned to the body of the Black Mountain Practitioner.

When theblood-colouredd evil spirit completely disappeared, the Black Mountain Practitioner, who had kept his head lowered, finally woke up.

He looked at Lu Yuan and said with fear in his eyes, “Spare me. Sir, spare me…”

Before he could finish speaking, a flying sword instantly pierced through his mouth.

Lu Yuan looked at the Black Mountain Practitioner, who had a flying sword in his mouth and a look of despair in his eyes.

Lu Yuan said calmly, “You being dead… Is more useful to me than being alive.”

As soon as he finished speaking, an enormous green flame instantly ignited on the flying sword.

The Black Mountain Practitioner screamed as his body was gradually burned into ashes.

Following the death of the Black Mountain Practitioner, an illusory substance that only Lu Yuan could see appeared.

It slowly floated out of the body of the Black Mountain Practitioner.

In response, Lu Yuan directly waved his hand.

In the next second, these greyish-white illusory substances began to gather in his hand.

This greyish-white illusory substance was the soul of the Black Mountain Practitioner that was about to dissipate.

In this soul that was gathered by Lu Yuan.

Not only did it contain the memories of the Black Mountain Practitioner’s entire life, but it also contained the soul power that he had cultivated for a hundred years.

And these things were the purpose of Lu Yuan’s visit
