Chapter 36: Reduced to Ashes
"who!"
The fox demon did not deliberately hide its whereabouts, and the heavenly soldier was very alert. He almost instantly noticed the movement behind him and turned around abruptly.
Under the dim firelight, there was a square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was Chen Yang!
Seeing that the person coming was actually a fox demon, Chen Yang was shocked and reached out to grab the spear on the ground, but it was too late.
The fox demon flashed and came straight to him like a ghost. Its right hand turned into a fox claw and grabbed his head.
Chen Yang was so frightened that his whole body went limp. He shouted in panic, "Don't kill me! I know how to leave Heaven! I can help you escape! I...Ah!!!"
But it was the fox demon who pulled him in front of her, causing him to scream in fear.
Then, he saw a pair of eyes, eyes so beautiful that they could suck his soul away.
Chen Yang's scream stopped abruptly. He stared at the fox demon with a dull look, his pupils having turned an evil pink.
A moment later.
The fox demon asked everything he wanted to know, and then controlled Chen Yang to open the prison door.
But the prison was quiet and there was no movement at all.
The fox demon urged, "What are you doing? Come out now!"
Curses suddenly rang out.
"Little fox, you still want to trick me out? No way!"
"That's right! I won't leave even if you kill me!"
"I'm leaving, idiot. I won't fall into the same trap twice! Hurry and close the door!"
Fox demon: “…”
…
On the other side, there is a side hall of the Tianlao Palace where the heavenly soldiers and generals live.
Li Anran was stunned when he noticed that in the Book of Punishment, the status of the fox demon had changed from "imprisoned" to "escaping from prison".
"You actually used this trick! And the target you chose was still this fox demon! What is Yang Jian thinking?"
As the Guansuo Star Lord who guards the Heavenly Prison in Heaven, Qiu Yin's biggest problem is that he is just sitting there doing nothing and letting his subordinates rot.
But, these are nothing in heaven.
Even if Yang Jian found evidence and caught Qiu Yin in the act, the most he could do was to punish him, but he couldn't hurt his bones or change the current situation in the Heavenly Prison.
Only if Tianlao runs into major problems due to negligence in management, Qiu Yin will be severely punished, and Tianlao will truly change.
Yang Jian previously sent the fox demon and later the Meishan brothers transformed into monsters to infiltrate the Heavenly Prison because of this consideration. It can be regarded as the best way to deal with Qiu Yin and solve the problem of the Heavenly Prison.
But, the word "best" refers to what happened before.
Now, first the fox demon lured Wang Yi and he almost escaped from prison successfully, and then the Meishan brothers transformed into monsters and tried to sneak into the Heavenly Prison.
Qiu Yin was already on guard.
However, Yang Jian continued to use this trick, and even the person he chose to break out of prison and cause trouble was still a fox demon!
This is unreasonable!
Before, Yang Jian chose the fox demon because the fox demon had three lives and could catch Qiu Yin off guard.
Now the fox demon only has one life left. There are many monsters in the Heavenly Prison who are more powerful and more suitable for her, but Yang Jian did not change and still chose the fox demon!
unless……
Yang Jian did it on purpose!
He wanted to use this obvious method to humiliate Qiu Yin and at the same time intimidate others!
“Are you so confident?”
Li Anran immediately became interested. He stared at the fox demon's "prison break" state and sensed its location.
During the moment he was thinking, the number of monsters marked as "escaping from prison" in the Book of Punishment continued to increase.
In the blink of an eye, all the monsters in cell C were released.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
His identity badge began to vibrate, emitting circles of red light.
This is because the Tianlao discovered that the prisoners had escaped and were gathering manpower.
"The general is truly a man of foresight! How dare those evil creatures cause trouble!"
"Hahahaha, those idiots could never have imagined that the general had called in the heavenly soldiers and generals from the Lord of Martial Virtue to lay a net to suppress them. It would be a piece of cake to suppress them!"
"Hurry! Let's go over there quickly! These are all credits!"
…
There were hurried footsteps outside the door.
The heavenly soldiers and generals spoke loudly, their tone full of admiration and joy.
"This Qiu Yin is also interesting!"
Li Anran curled her lips, speechless but also feeling a little amused.
These heavenly soldiers did not speak early or late, and only started talking loudly when they arrived outside his house.
This was obviously said intentionally for him to hear.
"I don't know what arrangements Yang Jian will make!"
Li Anran leaned back on the bed, very curious about what kind of counterattack Yang Jian would make.
At this moment, Li Anran's heart suddenly moved, and he sensed a strong sense of malice approaching!
This malice contained many negative emotions such as jealousy, resentment, murderous intent, etc., and it was so strong that it was distorted and abnormal!
In Li Anran's perception, he was like a torch in the dark night, extremely dazzling!
Bang!
The door was kicked open and a figure rushed in.
Chen Yang !
To be more precise, it was Chen Yang who had lost his mind and magnified the evil thoughts in his heart because of the fox demon!
"Li Anran!"
Chen Yang's eyes were red, his face was ferocious, and he gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Why! Why? We are all casual cultivators, and it took me more than two hundred years to cultivate to the realm of refining spirit and transforming into emptiness, but you only need less than a hundred years?"
"Why should we go to heaven together, and you get lucky enough to be employed by the general, while I have to grovel and curry favor with those damn pigs?"
"Why should I...I..."
Li Anran just glanced at Chen Yang indifferently.
Eyes met.
Chen Yang's whole body trembled, and he felt that Li Anran's eyes were like a whirlpool, pulling him directly in.
His voice gradually faded.
The whole person stood there blankly, his eyes dazed and unfocused.
Such people who have lost their minds are fearless and can often burst out with greater strength than in normal conditions, making them difficult for others to deal with.
But for Li Anran, who also practiced "Hehuan" and even reached a higher level, and did not need to worry about his life or death, it was a piece of cake.
Especially since the fox demon who controls him is not around!
Li Anran only needs a glance to take away the fox demon's control over him.
Li Anran thought for a moment, stood up, grabbed Chen Yang and walked two steps towards the sky prison.
Suddenly, there was an extra page in the book of punishing evil.
[Prisoner: Chen Yang]
[Sin value: two and a half stars]
[Cultivation: Ninth level of Transformation into Emptiness and Integration into the Dao]
[Status: Escorted]
[Capture participation: 40%]
[Benefit: 190 experience points/day]
"As expected, any action of sending someone to the Heavenly Prison will be recorded in the Book of Punishment."
Li Anran thought again of the Meishan brothers’ 50% participation in the arrest.
From this perspective, if he captures a prisoner alone, he can get a 40% participation rate if he escorts him to the Sky Prison. He can get another 10% if he escorts him inside the Sky Prison, and he should be able to get the remaining 50% if he locks him up in a cell.
Li Anran browsed through Chen Yang's life and immediately understood what was going on.
This is different from his previous incarnation, who became a heavenly soldier in a confused manner because he did not know the true situation in heaven, and was arranged to be a jailer in the heavenly prison because he was too poor to give any gifts.
Chen Yang was born into a family of independent cultivators in Dongsheng Shenzhou. His ancestors used to be minor clerks in the Heavenly Palace's engineering team. They built many palaces with the Zhang and Lu teams and were very familiar with the Heavenly Palace.
He decided to take a gamble and go to heaven to become a celestial soldier because his life span was coming to an end and he possessed an evil method that allowed him to absorb the essence and blood of monsters to improve his own cultivation.
The Heavenly Prison, or more accurately, the monsters in the Heavenly Prison, had been his target from the beginning.
However, he originally planned to become a jailer of the Heavenly Prison by paying gifts, but ended up seeing that Li Anran was arranged to the Heavenly Prison because he did not pay gifts.
He pretended to be poor and successfully became a jailer in the Heavenly Prison.
At the beginning, Chen Yang was very restrained, but when he found out that the heavenly soldiers and generals in the prison really didn't care about the prisoners, he began to practice evil techniques unscrupulously.
In just two months, his cultivation had broken through to the Huaxu Hedao realm, and then soared all the way to the sixth level of Huaxu Hedao.
The wolf demon was killed because he accidentally sucked the energy dry when he was breaking through his realm.
He hated Li Anran so much, on the one hand out of jealousy, and on the other hand because after Li Anran took charge of the prison, it affected his cultivation.
The fox demon also hated Li Anran, the enemy who gave Qiu Yin the idea and cut off its three tails.
So, after the fox demon confused Chen Yang's mind, he asked him to kill Li Anran who was already "seriously injured".
However, it did not know that Li Anran had also practiced "Hehuan" and took control of Chen Yang effortlessly.
Li Anran looked at Chen Yang in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind.
"I'm sorry!"
Li Anran's mind moved.
Chen Yang waved the sword in his hand and slashed wildly in the house.
Then, a thundercloud appeared above his head.
Boom!
The purple divine thunder fell.
The soul is scattered and reduced to ashes.
