CHAPTER 41

Hall of Criminal Law

Along the way, Gu Shang silently led the way in front, while Zhuowen followed behind as if nothing had happened. The two of them did not say a word, and the atmosphere was rather strange.

"Brat!

This Gu Shang fellow is a little strange. Furthermore, he hides a knife behind his smile. Do you really believe his words? "Xiao Hei's words rang out in Zhuowen's mind.

"Gu Shang is a narrow-minded person who will definitely seek revenge for the smallest grievance. I also know that this person will definitely not settle things peacefully!

Moreover, his attitude just now was a little too enthusiastic. There must be something wrong!

However, I'm not familiar with the City Lord's Mansion at all, so I can only let Gu Shang lead the way! "

"And this time, I'm being received by the governor of the governor's manor, the governor of Vine Armor City, Gu Yue Tian. I don't think Gu Yue Tian will do anything out of line. Otherwise, Gu Yue Tian's anger won't be easy to bear."

Zhuowen secretly communicated with Xiao Hei in his mind. However, his eyes were rather cautious as he stared at Gu Shang in front of him. Although he was confident that Gu Shang would not act recklessly in the city governor's mansion, it was still best to be careful.

After bypassing a rockery, a black building suddenly appeared in front of him. The building was similar to a palace, but its appearance was not as grand and majestic as a palace. Instead, it was incomparably dark and looked quite strange.

Moreover, the door in front of the building was actually made of black iron. The guards standing at the door were all wearing ghost masks and holding black halberds. They stood in front of the door meticulously.

Zhuowen could feel that the aura of these two guards was even stronger than that of the guards in front of the gate of the Castellan Mansion. They must be quite powerful in the Yin Void Realm.

"Brother Zhuowen, this is where the City Lord usually meets people. Let's go in!" Gu Shang tilted his head and said with a fawning smile.

"Thank you for leading the way, Young Master Gu Shang!"

Zhuowen cupped his hands together indifferently. However, he frowned slightly. He could sense an unusual aura within this building.

Just as Zhuowen was observing the building in front of him, a wave of desire was immediately transmitted from his Sea of Consciousness. Zhuowen frowned. He could sense that this wave was actually transmitted from within the jade cauldron. More accurately, it was a message transmitted from the Nirvana Demon Flame within the jade cauldron.

"Xiao Hei!

Why has the Nirvana Demon Flame suddenly become agitated? "Zhuowen immediately asked Xiao Hei in the sea with a little confusion.

"This Long I can sense that this aura.. this aura is a great temptation to the Nirvana Demon Flame.

If the Nirvana Demon Flame is able to devour this evil aura, its recovery speed will definitely increase greatly. Its might might even be stronger than before. "

"But no matter how you look at it, this place looks like a prison. I'm afraid this Gu Shang doesn't have any good intentions and wants to harm you!

If you still want to go in, why don't you just retreat! "

Xiao Hei's voice carried a little seriousness.

"It can greatly increase the strength of the Nirvana Demon Flame?"

A glint suddenly erupted from Zhuowen's eyes. The Nirvana Demon Flame was currently his greatest trump card. With the existence of the Nirvana Demon Flame, his strength was already invincible within the Yin Void Stage. He could even put up a fight against a Corporeal Yang Stage expert.

Therefore, it was very difficult for him to reject the opportunity to quickly recover the Nirvana Demon Flame.

"From the looks of it, you should be planning to enter!

You clearly know that there is a tiger in the mountain, yet you still insist on entering the mountain. I really don't know if you are brave or reckless. "Xiao Hei's voice carried a little dissatisfaction.

"One naturally has to experience danger if one wishes to gain something!

Although I have already confirmed that Gu Shang's intentions are not pure, it is likely that he will not dare to go overboard. Moreover, there is an aura inside that can increase the strength of the Nirvana Demon Flame. All the more reason for me to give it a try. "

Zhuowen parted his mouth and looked at the large door in front of him. His eyes revealed a trace of anticipation.

Gu Shang conversed a little with the two black-armored guards in front of the door. The two black-armored guards glanced at Zhuowen's side and immediately nodded. After which, Gu Shang led Zhuowen and stepped into the large door.

There was a deep tunnel behind the large door. The tunnel was around the height of a person and half a person wide. The two sides of the tunnel were made from black metal, causing it to appear sinister and dark.

The two of them walked to the end after around fifteen minutes. There was a metal door at the end. Gu Shang took out a key from his chest and swiftly opened the metal door.

Clang!

The metal door was opened and a spacious hall appeared in front of the two of them. The interior was very spacious. There was only a stone table and a stone bench placed in the middle. The entire hall appeared quite desolate. There were three similar metal doors on the other three sides of the hall. No one knew where these metal doors led to.

Zhuowen was able to sense the fluctuation of the Nirvana Demon Flame in his Sea of Consciousness becoming increasingly intense after arriving in the hall. It was just like a hungry person who had smelled a fragrant dish and was ready to move.

Clang!

The metal door on the opposite side suddenly opened. A tall middle-aged man wearing black armor slowly walked out from the metal door. A group of fully armed black-armored soldiers followed behind the middle-aged man.

Zhuowen was able to sense that the black-armored soldiers were all above the Yin Void Stage. The aura of the middle-aged man wearing black armor standing in front of the soldiers was the strongest. His body faintly revealed a trace of blazing aura. Clearly, this was the Yang Yuan Qi that was unique to Corporeal Yang Stage warriors.

Moreover, the aura that the middle-aged man revealed was not much different from Wang Shuo, who had fought with Zhuowen the other day. Clearly, he was also a warrior who had just stepped into the Corporeal Yang Stage.

"How dare you trespass into the Hall of Penal Law. Take these two people down and detain them first!"

The middle-aged man stared coldly at Gu Shang and Zhuowen in the hall. His cold voice was as cold as the winter snow.

"Big brother Yan, do you still remember me?

I am Gu Shang! "

Gu Shang's expression changed drastically when he saw the middle-aged man attack as soon as he said so. He hurriedly shouted.

"Gu Shang?

Gu Shang, the son of Lord Gu Lie? "The middle-aged man was startled. He immediately waved his right hand and stopped the soldiers who were about to arrest the two.

"Yes, yes!

That's me. So big brother Yan still remembers me! "Gu Shang's face revealed a relaxed smile as he gently came to the middle-aged man's side and laughed.

"It's been many years since we last met. I didn't expect you to have grown so much. Ever since I entered the Hall of Penal Law ten years ago, I have almost never stepped outside. I think things have changed by now!

However, the Hall of Penal Law is a forbidden area in the mansion. How did you enter it?

It won't be a good thing if the City Lord finds out. "

The middle-aged man's cold face revealed a rare smile. Soon after, he became serious again and warned.

"It's fine. When I was young, big brother Yan loved me the most. Now that we haven't met for more than ten years, I miss you. So I came to see you!" Gu Shang said with a smile.

"You are so considerate. Your big brother's heart is warmed by your words. Just because of your words, you should accompany me for a few drinks before you leave!

And who is this brother?

Could he be your friend? "

The cold expression on the middle-aged man's face had already disappeared. His face was full of smiles as he stared at the silent Zhuowen.

"I'm sorry, big brother Yan!

This person is not my friend. I don't even know him. "

The corners of Gu Shang's mouth curled into a complacent arc. His eyes stared mockingly at the silent Zhuowen who was not far away.

"Oh?

Isn't this person your friend? "

The smile on the middle-aged man's face slowly disappeared. Traces of cruel and cold light were slowly released from his eyes.

"Since he's not your friend, trespassing into the Hall of Penal Law is a serious crime. Men, take him down."

"Yes!" A group of black armored soldiers behind the middle-aged man responded respectfully. Soon after, they surrounded Zhuowen.

"Gu Shang!

You really do not have good intentions. Don't you know that I am someone personally invited by the city governor? Now, you have brought me to such a place. If the city governor were to know about this, aren't you afraid that the city governor would blame you? "Zhuowen's eyes hardened. There was a trace of killing intent surfacing in his eyes as he looked at Gu Shang.

Although he had already guessed in his heart that Gu Shang's intentions were impure, Zhuowen had voluntarily entered this so-called Hall of Penal Law due to his relationship with the Nirvana Demon Flame.

However, this little action of Gu Shang caused Zhuowen to be extremely displeased. Originally, he thought that there was only a small conflict between him and Gu Shang. However, Gu Shang's actions of targeting him had caused Zhuowen's tolerance to slowly decrease.

Gu Shang also sensed the dense chilliness within Zhuowen's eyes. His heart involuntarily shivered. He immediately mocked, "Do you know how many experts are hidden within the Hall of Penal Law?

There are five Yang Corporeal Stage experts within. Moreover, the chief of the Hall of Penal Law is a half step to the Zhao King Stage expert. Don't tell me that you dare to mess around in this place. "

"Hee hee!

The one who brought me into the Hall of Penal Law is you, Gu Shang. If we are to talk about responsibility, it is also your responsibility.

Moreover, the city governor has already left a spot for me in the Yuan Energy Tower. Can't you see how much the city governor values me? If I die, all of you will have to suffer the fury of the city governor. "Zhuowen retorted.

The middle-aged man's expression immediately became ugly when he heard this. His gaze turned towards Gu Shang and his face revealed an inquiring expression. If what Zhuowen said was true, it would really be difficult for them to act against Zhuowen.

"Big brother Yan, you can be rest assured!

Currently, my father is one of the only two Zhao King Stage experts in the city governor's mansion. His authority is only below the city governor's. As long as we kill this brat now, the city governor will not rashly touch us given my father's strength and authority. After all, no one will risk their life for a dead person. "

"As long as you can get rid of this person, I will have my father transfer you out of the Hall of Beheadings and Executions and give you a higher position and greater authority. As long as you kill this person, your life and future will be greatly improved."

Gu Shang also noticed the hesitation on the middle-aged man's face and hurriedly promised.

"Good!

If brother Gu Shang is really confident, then I will take a gamble today. "

As he spoke, the middle-aged man coldly looked at the youth in front of him. He waved his hand and said, "Capture this person and execute him on the spot."

Once the ten black-armored soldiers received the order, they immediately raised their black halberds and fiercely stabbed at the youth in the middle. It was obvious that they did not want to leave him alive.

With a cold snort, Zhuowen lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and dodged the incoming black halberd. He coldly stared at the middle-aged man not far away and said, "I really hope you won't regret it in the end. If you kill me, you will be used as a scapegoat by Gu Shang. Could it be that you still don't understand the situation?"
