Chapter 448: Capture (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the prison, the four wardens sat together.
“What do you think about this?” Xiang Zizhen looked at the other three wardens.
“This Wang Xiao… is indeed a little special.” Among the four wardens, the only female warden, Warden Ji, sighed.
“If ordinary people had such a murderous nature, they would have long fallen into the demonic path. However, this person actually doesn’t show any signs of becoming a demon at all. Unbelievable!”
The tall Warden Xu thought for a moment. “Actually, the lord is mainly worried that he will fall to the demonic path if he kills too much. But from his current situation, since he doesn’t show any signs of becoming a demon, can we try to let him take this path?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three wardens were stunned.
“You mean… we’ll just let him kill?” Warden Yu frowned slightly.
“His murderous nature is already uncontrollable and difficult to eradicate. Since there are no signs of him becoming a demon, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Warden Xu said seriously. “Actually, as long as he doesn’t fall into the demonic path, even if he has such a terrifying killing intent that’s different from ordinary people, it won’t affect him much. That’s what makes him special. Perhaps he can use this to create a path that belongs to him.”
The other three wardens fell into deep thought. Their pressure mainly came from the lord. After all, the lord of Xingluo Territory reminded them solemnly to keep an eye on Wang Xiao. They could not let him fall into the demonic path. Although Wang Xiao didn’t seem to have any signs of being possessed, one can never be too careful.
“I think we might have to observe a little more. Isn’t Old Chu about to make an arrest? Why don’t we bring Wang Xiao along and let him go to the demonic factions to kill? On the one hand, we could see if he will show any signs of becoming a demon after killing. On the other hand, it depends on whether he’s any different in the environment of the demonic path forces.” Warden Ji suggested.
The other two wardens thought for a moment and turned to look at Xiang Zizhen. Xiang Zizhen thought about it seriously for a moment and nodded. “Okay.”
That day, Xiao Shi received a notice. Five days later, he would follow Chu Zheng, Xiang Zizhen’s alias, to the demonic path to capture them.
Usually every once in a while, the warden would personally lead a team to the demonic path forces to capture them.
Xiao Shi thought for a moment. He felt that this was not bad. He could use this to approach Xiang Zizhen. Apart from wanting to kill the prisoners here, his main goal in coming to the prison this time was to investigate Xiang Zizhen. It would be a good opportunity to travel with him later.
“Five days should be enough forme to complete my comprehension of the Martial Soul Realm saber technique.” Xiao Shi thought to himself.
In the next five days, Xiao Shi’s main body was immersed in the comprehension of the Martial Soul Realm saber technique and the specialization of array formations. His avatar was in the prison, looking for an opportunity to kill the prisoners.
After a discussion between the wardens, they no longer stopped Xiao Shi from killing the prisoners. However, if Xiao Shi wanted to be assigned to prisoners from the prison, he needed new prisoners to be captured or to exchange for them with his own credit.
“Looks like I can only wait for the capture operation.” Xiao Shi sighed. Although there were no prisoners to kill, he wasn’t idle either. He began to try to come into contact with Xiang Zizhen. He was also understanding Xiang Zizhen’s personality through other prisoners.
Although Xiang Zizhen had not been a warden for long, he had a good reputation in the prison. These jailers had a very high evaluation of Xiang Zizhen. Whether Xiang Zizhen was the commander of the Xingluo Army or the warden here, the temperament he presented was identical to the temperament detected by the Heavenly Mystery Eye.
He treated people with sincerity and was gentle. He was very good to his subordinates. However, Xiao Shi knew that this was very likely the other party’s disguise. Just like how the cold persona he maintained with this avatar was not his original personality. He secretly asked about an important piece of information, too.
That was why Xiang Zizhen was transferred to the prison to be the warden.
Back then, there was a suspicious point about Xiang Zizhen. When Qin Mo died, he went from a commander to a warden and was promoted. This made Xiao Shi suspect that he had made a contribution to the lord after killing Qin Mo and was promoted.
However, under Xiao Shi’s investigation, he realized that the reason why Xiang Zizhen was promoted from commander to warden was not because he had made some contributions recently. Instead, it was because of his long-term accumulation of merit.
“From the current information, Xiang Zizhen’s promotion has nothing to do with Qin Mo’s death.” Xiao Shi was deep in thought. However, he knew that this alone could not completely clear Xiang Zizhen of suspicion. He still needed to investigate this in greater depth.
Five days passed in a flash. Early in the morning, the jailers who were about to head to the demonic path had already gathered in the prison. There were a total of 36 jailers who would follow Xiang Zizhen to the demonic path.
Apart from jailers like them, he was accompanied by more than ten prisoners from the prison. These prisoners were all handcuffed and shackled, and their cultivation was sealed. The reason why he brought them along was because these prisoners knew some important secrets of the demonic factions.
There were some special places that needed them to lead the way..
