Chapter 228: How the hell did you come up with this underworld thing in the mortal world?

Lin Hai froze, what the hell does it mean he was just confused and now he's not confused anymore.

Not far away, several Embroidered Uniform Guards were escorting a criminal toward the prison.

This criminal was none other than the disguised Tiandao Zhou Chuan, who chose the simplest and most direct method—directly posing as a criminal to be arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and thrown into prison.

Because he didn't know where Shen Qing was or where he would go, but he knew he would definitely encounter Shen Qing at the Northern Garrison Office.

As expected, upon entering the Northern Garrison Office, he saw Shen Qing.

Tiandao Zhou Chuan remembered the information given by the White Dragon Sect—Shen Qing could read people's thoughts through their eyes, so upon discovering Shen Qing, he immediately lowered his head and occasionally trembled, feigning extreme fear.

He was waiting for a suitable distance to strike and kill in one blow.

Unfortunately, he didn't notice Shen Qing was staring at him with a strange gaze.

Shen Qing glanced at Zhou Chuan: "Where the hell did this idiot come from?"

Do you think I can't see through your thoughts just because you're bowing your head?

Moreover, even without my innate sixth sense, the Piercing Illusion Golden Pupils could see through his underwear.

Shen Qing stepped forward toward the several Embroidered Uniform Guards: "What crime did this person commit?"

The several Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately clasped their hands: "Reporting to Commander Shen, this person committed violence in the street, and we caught him red-handed."

A glint of cold light flashed in Tiandao's lowered eyes.

"Not only do you not retreat, but you dare to walk toward me? Looks like heaven itself wants you dead, Shen Qing!"

Shen Qing had already arrived before him, and Tiandao's fingertips slowly gathered elemental power.

This was also Tiandao's secret technique—he could pre-infuse elemental power into his flesh and blood, something ordinary people couldn't see through, not even Lin Hai nearby noticed anything unusual.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chuan's gaze turned cold, and he pointed a finger at Shen Qing's chest: "Die!"

But just then, a terrifying golden annihilation light shot forth.

The annihilation light instantly pierced through Tiandao's palm, then continued in a straight line to pierce straight through Zhou Chuan's dantian, a crimson blood hole appearing, yet no blood was seen.

Because the annihilation light emitted by the Piercing Illusion Golden Pupils was not mere destruction, but obliteration.

Almost instantly, Zhou Chuan's palm was obliterated—no ash remained, and even his qi sea vanished.

Zhou Chuan's eyes filled with terror as he staggered back several steps, dropping to one knee on the ground. He lifted his head to look at Shen Qing, only to see Shen Qing's eyes now blazing with golden flames, with terrifying divine patterns glowing even in his eye sockets.

His tone was full of confusion.

"Shen Qing, I wasn't looking at you, and my vital energy wasn't moving! How did you discover me?"

Shen Qing glanced at him, the golden flames in his Piercing Illusion Golden Pupils burning brightly: "You did your homework well? Where did this information come from?"

Zhou Chuan replied: "White Dragon Sect."

Hearing those three words, Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"You bought information from them? If their information were reliable, I'd have beaten them into this state."

"You should go to Qingzhou and inquire—White Dragon Sect's information is notorious for its short shelf life."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan's heart felt like it was dripping blood.

Just the information alone had cost him ten thousand taels of silver!

No wonder the White Dragon Sect sold it so decisively, and even swore there was after-sales service.

What after-sales service? Using this fake information to find Shen Qing—could he even come back alive?

Damn it, refund the money.

Shen Qing looked at Zhou Chuan: "Eighth Layer of the Elemental Core Realm—there aren't many in Yunzhou with this cultivation. You must be Tiandao of the Reincarnation Tower, right?"

Zhou Chuan gave a bitter laugh, his qi sea instantly destroyed, he had lost all strength to resist: "Just kill me, I won't..."

Shen Qing didn't let him finish, shouting directly: "Old Li!"

Only the sound of hurried footsteps was heard—Old Li came running out, panicked, carrying a small bundle on his back.

"Here I come!"

He ran to Shen Qing's side, saw Zhou Chuan kneeling before Shen Qing, immediately understood Shen Qing's intent, bent over, and began searching inside the bundle for torture tools.

Shen Qing said: "Old Li, strike hard—I want efficiency."

Old Li paused: "Efficiency? I just thought of a punishment recently, but I don't know if it works—can I try? The force should still be sufficient."

He then bent over and pulled out an iron needle, proceeding to speak on his own.

"I only just thought of this—I'll heat the iron needle red-hot, then string his two testicles onto it, like playing the erhu, pulling back and forth..."

Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard already echoed with countless gasps of cold air.

Shen Qing stared at Old Li with a strange gaze: "Old Li, how did you come up with this underworld thing in the mortal world?"

Lin Hai also couldn't help but speak: "Commander Shen, your subordinates are truly full of talent..."

Old Li was momentarily at a loss: "Then, Boss, should I use this punishment?"

Shen Qing spread his hands: "I have no objection."

Lin Hai also spoke: "I'd also like to see it—perfect chance for our Yunzhou Embroidered Uniform Guards to learn a thing or two."

"By the way, Commander Shen, when the time comes, let Old Li lend me this—I'll have him give a lecture to the Yunzhou Embroidered Uniform Guards."

"Only after meeting Old Li did I realize that the Yunzhou Embroidered Uniform Guards' use of punishment before was just random abuse."

The nearby Embroidered Uniform Guards also voiced their agreement.

Of course, there were certainly some who disagreed.

Tiandao Zhou Chuan raised his hand: "Um, I object."

Just hearing about this punishment made him want to die.

"Shen Qing! You just want to know about the Reincarnation Tower, right? Then just ask me."

"I'll tell you—then it's over."

At that, the courtyard instantly filled with laughter.

Shen Qing walked over and reached out to pat his face: "I still prefer your arrogant and unyielding look from just now."

"Then let's talk, I'm also in a hurry."

"Where is Ouyang Xuqing now?"

Zhou Chuan said: "Right at Mount Tianzhu."

Lin Hai immediately straightened his chest, because Mount Tianzhu was one of the locations in his deduction.

"Why didn't you act earlier, why not later, but you had to act today?"

Zhou Chuan fell silent for a moment, but seeing Old Li approach, his body trembled and he immediately spoke up.

"Because our tower master is about to break through! We still need to kill some people."

"We'll strike tonight, we will have death warriors assault the village and town, to kill a large number of people."

Upon hearing this, the Embroidered Uniform Guards all turned solemn.

Because of the famine caused by the Reincarnation Tower, our Yunzhou has already lost many people, and because of this, we certainly cannot escape punishment.

We cannot allow more casualties to happen now.

Lin Hai grabbed Zhou Chuan's collar: "Where are your death warriors located?"

The Dao of Heaven spoke out seven place names in succession.

Lin Hai's face changed instantly, he turned to look at Shen Qing, waiting for Shen Qing's decision.

Shen Qing waved his hand, hovering gently in the air: "Set out immediately, you each allocate your combat strength, prepare to encounter the other five Dao at any time."

"I'm going to Mount Tianzhu."

Lin Hai said: "Why don't I go with you? Just in case he breaks through, we two can look out for each other."

"Rest assured, even if you give him another hundred thousand years, he still won't break through."
