Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 942 - 824: Sir, Please Be Gentle

Even in Fengdu of the Netherworld, "Judges" are an extremely rare profession.

Only when a Ghost Cultivator, through studying the Ghost Immortal Scripture, suddenly awakens a certain ability to understand the information on the Book of Life and Death, can they qualify to become a candidate for "Judge".

Currently, besides Lu Huai, no other Ghost Cultivator has been discovered to have such an ability — including those scattered Ghost Cultivators tasked with capturing fugitives, if there were any signs, they would have already been retained and nurtured properly.

Upon learning this, Jian Shichu was delighted and cupped his fists, saying, "Before this, I thought it was only another broken fragment of the Book of Life and Death's location, but didn't know a Demon Cultivator could actually use and consult it. Daoist Bai, we still have to rely on you to identify the Demon Cultivator using the Book of Life and Death, so we can capture them alive!"

"Capture alive?" Bai Yunqi frowned slightly at these words; it was easier said than done.

Capturing alive means being restricted during the capture; if the opponent fights desperately, one cannot kill indiscriminately. The demand to capture alive often means the enemy may seize the opportunity to escape.

"Apart from Jiu Qing, who trapped me with the Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda, I can only identify the voices of the other two Demon Cultivators." He thought carefully and said, "One has a hoarse voice, sounding like an elderly, is very cautious, and kept preventing the other from entering the Pagoda to confront me;

The other one's age is indiscernible, with a cold voice, seeming to be in a commanding position, but Jiu Qing does not heed him. It was so chaotic and brief back then that I couldn't clarify which one was in charge of the Book of Life and Death."

"Then capture everyone alive except Jiu Qing!" Jian Shichu decided promptly.

Jiang Yuan reminded, "Being able to possess such a significant treasure, and participate in the order to assassinate the Great Demon of the Wilderness World, surely exhibits a high Realm. Directly besieging and attacking may have a chance of success, but if we aim to capture alive, I'm afraid..."

The key is there are only three Demon Cultivators in total, and you want to capture two alive, do you think they will just stand there and let you capture them? If they fight to the death, are you to kill or to let them go?

Jian Shichu understood the logic behind it, he smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Jiang wouldn't know: this Book of Life and Death cannot be accessed by just anyone. Generally, one must cultivate the Ghost Immortal Scripture and awaken the ability to read the Celestial Book to possibly become a Judge and take charge of the Book of Life and Death.

But hearing Daoist Bai mention that even a Demon Cultivator could use it, the mystery is intriguing.

The Book of Life and Death is very significant, Fengdu must understand the whole affair. Without determining which Demon Cultivator can use the Book of Life and Death, all suspicious subjects must be kept alive, and I hope you understand."

Since this has been said, it's impossible to just rush in and kill indiscriminately; Jiang Yuan nodded, feeling that this matter was quite difficult to handle in his heart.

It takes time to investigate traces based on Jiu Qing's information. After simply agreeing on cooperation, Qu Luming led the two straight to Du Gao Mountain.

"Venerable Family, from Jian Shichu's tone, I fear the siege against the Demon Cultivators won't yield a good result," Bai Yunqi said while flying and using Secret Communication: "Those three Demon Cultivators are evidently not kind and easy to capture, even the Celestial Ghost General would have a hard time." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He moved his mind in private message channel saying, "To say it's not, let's take one step at a time. Anyway, our goal this time is to kill the culprit that caused your death, starting with Jiu Qing. As for the other two... tell me, what would be the fate of the one holding a broken version of the Book of Life and Death if they fell into Fengdu City?"

"If it's a Ghost Cultivator, due to its uniqueness, they would probably be whitewashed and secretly nurtured as a candidate. But as a mere Demon Cultivator, surely they would be treated as a test subject, first tortured and interrogated on how to control the Book of Life and Death, then subjected to various experiments.

Fengdu City absolutely wouldn't allow any cultivator of other races to have the ability to master the Book of Life and Death. So, rest assured, being taken to the Netherworld would be worse than death."

"Well, that could work," Jiang Yuan thought to himself, as the system kindly translated the Book of Life and Death for me, I must hide it well, "At that time, hand over the Book of Life and Death and its user to Fengdu, the remaining one is worthless, let's kill him to vent your anger!"

Bai Yunqi was deeply moved by these words, amidst so many Divine Artifacts and High Tier Demon Cultivators, the Venerable Family's sole thought was to stand up for him and seek revenge.

This feeling... just as Hu Zhile said, resembles a pet raised by the Venerable Family, bullied outside, and he stands up for them to seek justice.

Now recalling the remnant thought of that Kun Dao encountered in the Ice Cave, saying she's a pet of the Venerable Family, indeed wasn't wrong!

Well, pet it is then, being able to be a pet under the Venerable Family's protection is a blessing from past lives.

Moreover, Senior Yan Xuan stayed in the small courtyard as a Spirit Pet by rolling and spinning, let alone other Demon Cultivators who can't even think about it; I'm merely taking advantage by following the Venerable Family early.

With those thoughts, as they were once again on the road to resolve old grudges, Bai Yunqi's heart felt broadened, and even the always gloomy oppressive atmosphere of the Netherworld became much fresher.

A round moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the steep and perilous neighboring mountain peaks.

Unlike the Lotus Peak bought by Jiang Yuan, Du Gao Mountain was barren and plantless, and the wind blowing through those peaks, seemingly carved by sharp blades, emitted low wailing sounds as if ghosts were crying.

"Gentlemen, up ahead is Du Gao Mountain. Let me brief you before we proceed." Qu Luming, seeing they were near the Earth Realm, lowered his voice significantly, "Recently, Fengdu recruited scattered Ghost Cultivators and disrespected this one, capturing all of her subordinates.

Therefore, Senior He is already holding a grudge in her heart.
