Chapter 751: Underground Prison

Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9

An airship flew in from above and landed next to the slaughterhouse.

The door of the airship opened and three figures walked out.

They were the cooks of the 23rd reserve corps, head chef Zhang, uncle Lu, and Zhang Xiao Yun.

“This is the place, Zhang Xiao Yun, you’ll have to stay here for 5 days until you can return” uncle Lu told him.

Old man Zhang and uncle Lu both pinched their noses and scowled as they looked at the slaughterhouse.

A thick stench of blood filled the air, so much that they couldn’t isolate it even if they used spirit energy, a really uncomfortable smell.

Furthermore, when so many monsters die in a single place like this, it was natural that the 5 Elemental Roots would become highly agitated and chaotic, causing those who frequently cycle spirit energy inside and outside their bodies, which are most cultivators, even more discomfort.

“Xiao Yun, are you feeling ok?” old man Zhang asked worriedly.

When Gu Qing Shan was about to answer, a shrill howl could be heard resounding from deep inside the slaughterhouse.

Oooo——

A cloud of blood as thick as dust soared through the sky, followed by panicked voices of discussion.

“Too shallow, it didn’t die”

“What now? It’s struggling too much, I can’t hold it for long”

“A! It bit me!”

“What!? You got bitten!? Enforcers come quickly, someone got bitten!”

Several streaks of light flew towards that direction.

But the cloud of blood that erupted before had dyed an entire area bright red.

A cold voice rang out:

“Leave the monster’s body, carry the dead person away”

“Continue your work”

The commotion quieted down.

The slaughterhouse returned to silence.

But the smell of blood in the air seemed to have thickened a bit.

Standing outside the slaughterhouse, uncle Lu couldn’t help but back off, shrinking visibly.

He tugged old man Zhang by the shoulder and forced a smile: “Xiao Yun will be fine, he’s young and strong so he should be suitable for this, let’s go back”

Old man Zhang was still a bit uneasy as he glanced at Gu Qing Shan and told him: “Zhang Xiao Yun, I’ll come to pick you up after 5 days, you…”

Halfway through, he stopped speaking, completely stunned.

Because Zhang Xiao Yun was taking a deep breath next to him.

“This thick stench of blood is so nostalgic…”

He was squinting his eyes, visibly ecstatic like he was an excited child coming to a busy shopping district for the first time.

Zhang Xiao Yun began to walk forward as he muttered: “What a great place this is, I’ll be going inside soon. Ah, boss Zhang, uncle Lu, why are you still here?”

“…” old man Zhang.

“…” uncle Lu.

“Don’t worry, just leave everything to me and pick me up five days later” Zhang Xiao Yun smiled brightly at them.

Uncle Lu couldn’t help but shrink back again, trying his best to keep his voice natural: “Then we don’t have anything else to worry about, see you in five days”

“Hm, see you”

Gu Qing Shan waved goodbye and quickly walked up to the entrance of the slaughterhouse, showed the guard his badge, and entered.

Old man Zhang and uncle Lu observed him all the way without blinking and remained silent even after he could no longer be seen.

Old man Zhang suddenly spoke: “Old Lu, I’ll give you some advice, that youngster isn’t someone you can mess with. Put away whatever schemes you have, otherwise, I won’t be able to save you if anything happens”

Uncle Lu couldn’t say anything and just nodded again and again.

When Gu Qing Shan entered the slaughterhouse, he was led to see the cultivator in charge of this place.

That cultivator’s surname was Li, he carried an eternally icy expression on his face and an equally icy tone of voice, the others call him director Li.

Seeing how young Gu Qing Shan was, director Li was surprised, so he asked him a few more things.

While they were talking, Gu Qing Shan noticed that director Li was the one who called for the corpse to be carried away earlier.

It seems he represented absolute authority within this slaughterhouse.

“You said you were Zhang Xiao Yun? I want to make something very clear”

“Please teach me, sir director”

“Even though this place is called a slaughterhouse, you can’t be careless at all during your work. The abilities of these monsters have already been crippled, but their bodies alone are still very dangerous”

“Thank you for your teaching, sir”

“Hm, but most importantly, if you can give up a few things, I’ll make sure your life is easier for the next five days”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused: “Sir, what do you mean by easier?”

Director Li was a bit impatient.

This brat looks so bright, but why is he so hard to talk to?

He patiently explained: “For example, you get to kill fewer monsters and rest a bit longer, if you give me enough spirit stones, I’ll even prepare a place here for you to cultivation in seclusion for the next five days without touching a single Desolate monster”

Gu Qing Shan went silently briefly before smiling: “Sir, if that’s how it is, then I won’t give you even a speck of dust”

The room fell silent.

Director Li scowled, then smiled and sighed: “Ah, you youngsters with your fantasies, you’re dismissed. Wait outside until your shift is decided”

“Yes”

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and left.

Without waiting for long, two muscular cultivators came out in front of him.

They looked at Gu Qing Shan with cold and emotionless expressions.

“Zhang Xiao Yun”

“I’m here”

“Come with us”

“Yes”

The two of them led Gu Qing Shan through the blood-stained motley stockades and execution grounds, then a bit further until they reached an underground prison.

The two cultivators pulled open the heavy metal door, pressed a badge onto the side of the prison gate for a long while before undoing the defensive formation.

An eerie red-colored light came out from the ground below.

This light was actually coming from the blood essence in the air being so thick that it couldn’t dissipate, the blood itself also contained a sort of strange power that allowed it to linger for so long without disappearing.

The two cultivators both had very somber expressions on their faces.

“Go, Zhang Xiao Yun, go down” one of them told him.

“Your working grounds will be down there, come back up after five days” the other cultivator said.

“Understood”

Gu Qing Shan followed the stairs downward.

Clang clang.

The metal door was closed behind him.

The various layers of defensive formations were activated once again.

The underground prison once again became closed off.

The two cultivators stood in front of the closed gates and both sighed.

“Another one bites the dust” one of them commented.

“It’s fine, the superiors all know how dangerous butchering could be, one or two of them dying won’t cause any attention” the other cultivator replied.

“This brat was also stupid. Couldn’t he have given up just a little bit for the director? Why care about that little bit of spirit stones. Now he angered the director and was sent to this dangerous underground prison”

“That’s true, even if he didn’t have anything to give up, he could’ve not offended the director, that way at least he can rest after butchering ten monsters every day”

“Forget it, no point talking about this any further. That brat was sent into the prison with all the monsters at once, including ones that even we can’t kill, his outcome is already set in stone”

They both sighed, shook their heads, and left.

On the other side.

Gu Qing Shan stood in the darkness, silently sensing his surroundings.

The fact that this underground prison didn’t forbid the use of inner sight was the best protection it could provide.

From Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight, he saw that the underground prison consisted of a total of 18 floors. The lower he went the fewer monsters there were, but their strength also grew exponentially.

Shannu appeared from the void of space behind him and landed in front.

“Gongzi, that person was purposefully acting against you” she said irritated.

“Don’t worry about it, we actually have to thank him for acting without morals like that” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Are we really just going to kill monsters now?” Shannu asked.

“Yes, that was my goal from the start”

Gu Qing Shan grinned as he walked forward.

The hallway was narrow and dim, besides the prison cells on either side, there was almost nothing else here.

Gu Qing Shan walked in front of the first cell and looked inside.

This was the first time he saw a Desolate monster
