Free Web NovelChapter 26: Chapter 26: Sequence 7 Prison, the Demon Sect’s 3rd Elder
’The Red Fire Great Demon?’
’An Extraordinary Realm Demon?’
Hearing this, Su Bai’s expression brightened!
He immediately walked out of his room.
After leaving his room, Su Bai saw Elder Qing and Elder Yan standing in the courtyard.
They were holding wine flasks, sipping from them as they looked over at Su Bai.
"Su the kid, stick close in a bit. Don’t fall behind!"
"The dangers in this Red District aren’t something your ordinary prison zones can compare to, heheh..."
Elder Qing walked up, handed Su Bai a wine flask, and grinned at him.
He flashed a set of yellowed teeth.
Meanwhile, Elder Yan, who was off to the side, simply gave Su Bai a faint glance without saying a word.
The moment he entered the Red District, Su Bai had gauged the cultivation of the two men.
According to his perception, the Martial Arts Realms of these two old Prison Guards should both be at the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer.
Elder Qing’s aura seemed a bit stronger of the two.
As the three of them headed toward where the criminal was being held, Su Bai looked at Elder Qing and asked with some curiosity.
"The criminals imprisoned in Zone B Prison generally have Qi Sea Realm cultivation. Even if you transfer personnel over from the C-Class Prison, it probably won’t do much good, right?"
The Prison Chiefs in the C-Class Prison are mostly at the Qi Sea Realm.
And some of them haven’t even cultivated to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, so they aren’t that strong.
Even if you send these people to the B Prison Area,
it probably wouldn’t make much of a difference, in Su Bai’s opinion.
"Tsk... Su the kid, how do you know it’s useless?"
Elder Qing clicked his tongue. "Let me tell you, it’s a huge help!"
"If a prison riot breaks out, these Prison Chiefs will definitely be the first targets the inmates ’take care of.’ They might be weak, but if they can buy the higher-ups even a single second, they’ll have served their purpose!"
As he said this, Elder Qing grinned, his smile filled with a deeper meaning.
Hearing this, Su Bai’s expression hardened.
’So they’re just cannon fodder.’
At that moment, Elder Yan glanced at Elder Qing and suddenly spoke up. "Su the kid, don’t listen to his nonsense!" fгeewebnovёl.com
"This old coot has a point, but the most critical reason is that the next level down, the A Prison Area, is too short on manpower!"
"The A Prison Area is a rather special zone in the prison. Most of the criminals held there are Demon Fiends!"
Unlike ordinary criminals, Demon Fiends are strange creatures born of heaven and earth. They possess all sorts of bizarre abilities and are treacherously unpredictable!
The Prison Guards and Prison Chiefs working there have to constantly watch their own backs!
One careless moment, and some organ from your body could be devoured by a Demon Fiend!
"Compared to the A Prison Area, neither the C-Class Prison nor the Zone B Prison are that dangerous."
Elder Yan then seemed to recall something, his expression growing serious. He lowered his voice and said, "Besides, I’ve heard a rumor recently!"
"Something big seems to have happened in the A Prison Area. A major riot. A good number of people from both the Prison Suppression Bureau and the Demon-slaying Bureau died!"
"And that’s not even mentioning the ordinary Prison Guards and Prison Chiefs..."
Along the way, Su Bai was listening intently.
’So the A Prison Area is filled entirely with Demon Fiends?’
Demon Fiends!
They were far more terrifying than ordinary criminal Martial Artists!
The Level 3 Demon Fiend that Su Bai had slain before...
...was only a very common specimen among the entire Demon Fiend population!
Some truly terrifying Demon Fiends were beings that even High Realm Martial Artists could only flee from on sight.
They wouldn’t even think of fighting back!
"Alright! We’re almost there!"
Just then, Elder Qing suddenly spoke up, interrupting their conversation.
And indeed, the three of them had arrived at the stone gate of the Red District.
Elder Qing took a stone key from his robes. It shimmered with a silver light as he used it to open the gate.
RUMBLE!!
With a deafening roar, the stone gate slowly swung open.
Immediately after, Su Bai saw two Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau restraining a blood-soaked old man who stood at least two meters tall.
With emotionless faces, they walked in slowly.
’So this is the Red Fire Great Demon?’
Standing to the side, Su Bai watched with curiosity, carefully studying the black-haired old man before him.
The old man’s face was stiff and cold, seemingly devoid of any emotion.
His hands and feet were bound by special blue iron chains. A long, narrow black chain pierced directly through his neck bone, wrapping around his neck!
Blood trickled down slowly!
If not for his high cultivation and tenacious Life Force, with injuries this horrific,
he would have died long ago!
"What are you staring at? Time to work, Su the kid!"
Elder Qing, standing beside him, clapped Su Bai on the shoulder and grinned.
"Right!"
Su Bai snapped back to his senses and slowly walked forward.
As he neared the Red Fire Great Demon, Su Bai could feel it even more clearly.
The Evil Qi and resentment radiating from the man!
The amount was simply horrifying!
"This Demon is all yours now!"
One of the Prison Suppression Bureau’s Martial Artists glanced at Su Bai before speaking to Elder Qing.
"Sure! It’s a small matter!"
Elder Qing nodded.
The two exchanged a few more words, and then the Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau left.
"Let’s go, Su the kid! Lock this old bastard in Prison Cell Seven!"
As he spoke, Elder Qing took out a diamond-shaped wooden block, on which was clearly carved the number: Sequence Seven!
The Red Fire Great Demon, who had been expressionless, reacted upon seeing the diamond-shaped block.
His dark, empty eyes narrowed slightly!
Clearly, he had heard about the special Sequence Prisons in the Red District.
"Alright!"
Su Bai escorted the Red Fire Great Demon while Elder Qing and Elder Yan led the way.
「A few minutes later.」
Su Bai and the others arrived before the prison cell designated as Sequence Seven.
"Huh? Why doesn’t this prison cell have an iron gate?"
Su Bai asked curiously, looking at the peculiar blue iron cell before him.
Seeing Su Bai’s confused expression, Elder Qing chuckled.
Then, he walked up and inserted the diamond-shaped wooden block into a slot in the wall.
BUZZ!!
The next moment, a blue prison gate slowly materialized, crackling with fine bolts of lightning!
"Su the kid, this is a special kind of prison gate jointly forged by our Great Xia Array Pavilion and that Lord Chen from the Prison Suppression Bureau!"
"Anyone who tries to enter or exit the prison without the key, even an Extraordinary Ninth Layer Demon, will die!"
As he spoke, Elder Qing intentionally-yet-casually glanced at the sullen-faced Red Fire Great Demon beside them.
If his True Qi hadn’t been sealed by the chains, and if his Physique hadn’t been mostly eaten away by the Prison Suppression Bureau’s Martial Artists using a special method,
the Red Fire Great Demon would have likely already erupted in a murderous rampage!
"Get in!"
Elder Qing shot the Red Fire Great Demon a sideways glance and spoke coolly.
It was practically an order.
Veins bulged on the Red Fire Great Demon’s forehead. He gave Elder Qing a deep, hard look.
In the end, however, he obediently walked into the prison cell.
He was unwilling, but he understood that if he didn’t enter on his own, his fate would likely be miserable beyond compare!
Once the Demon was inside, Elder Qing removed the diamond-shaped block.
Then,
his expression turned solemn as he said to Su Bai,
"Su the kid, don’t be fooled by how docile he is now. In truth, this Red Fire Great Demon is the Third Elder of the Red Fire Demon Sect, one of the Demonic Forces!"
"Three months ago, this man unleashed his Demon Fire and burned an entire county town to the ground, killing over ninety thousand people!"
