Chapter 826: Chapter 815: Changes in Tiger Mouth Gorge

Since ancient times, handling prisoners has always been a significant problem. If the number is small, it’s manageable, but once it becomes many, it becomes extremely tricky to deal with.

If you accept them all, who knows if among those martial artists you previously killed there might be relatives or friends of these prisoners. A single mistake, and it becomes a future hidden threat.

If you kill them all, firstly, killing captives is considered inauspicious, and for Ye Zhen, he really can’t bring himself to do it!

This dilemma is especially severe for martial artists.

When Ye Zhen was on an Eastern Expedition in the Black Dragon Domain, he was dealing with ordinary soldier prisoners. Those people were quite young, and as long as they were slowly assimilated, dealing with the prisoners wasn’t tough. Plus, if a few caused issues, it wasn’t a big problem.

But martial artists are different. Martial artists have firm wills. The positions they decide on are not easily changed, and with their strong power, if something goes wrong, it’s a major issue!

Presently, the most difficult issue is that the number of prisoners exceeds sixteen hundred people, which is more than the total number of people at the Red Fire Subdivision. If they are all accepted and a problem arises, it affects the whole Red Fire Subdivision!

"Commander Zuo, there are three steps that need to be taken in handling these prisoners!" Ye Zhen held up three fingers!

"Please instruct us, Lord!"

"Firstly, every prisoner must open their Divine Soul and have a Soul Explosion Talisman Seed planted. Anyone unwilling or daring to resist will be executed without mercy!"

The Soul Explosion Talisman Seed is a very simple and crude method for a martial artist to control another martial artist. It involves inserting a pre-refined Soul Explosion Talisman Seed into the target martial artist’s Soul Sea. This Soul Explosion Talisman Seed can mix with their Divine Soul, and cannot be undone without special Daoist Schools.

Once any misconduct by the target martial artist is discovered, just crushing the Soul Explosion Talisman will trigger the Soul Explosion Talisman Seed to explode, directly blowing up the target martial artist’s head, thereby controlling the martial artist!

However, the function of this Soul Explosion Talisman Seed is limited to this. It can only be used when the target martial artist has been definitively found to have committed misconduct, no matter how far they flee, the Soul Explosion Talisman can be used to kill them!

Beyond this, it has no additional function. Even if the target martial artist clandestinely assassinated the caster, if the caster hasn’t discovered the target martial artist or the Soul Explosion Talisman isn’t in hand, there’s nothing they can do!

This is worlds apart from Ye Zhen’s Puppet Spirit Record. Martial artists hit by Ye Zhen’s Soul-locking Puppet Technique have a biological instinctive fear when facing Ye Zhen!

Just like the Tiger-Type Demonic Beasts in the Flying Tiger Hall of the Heavenly Level Middle Lower Grade before the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, not to mention attacking the kitten, once the kitten shows dominance, they don’t even dare to glance at the kitten!

Moreover, whenever there’s any anomaly in those martial artists hit by the Soul-locking Puppet Technique, Ye Zhen can handle them with a single Divine Sense!

However, the Soul-locking Puppet Technique is too terrifying in its effects and is a Forbidden Technique in the Jianghu. Even Ye Zhen doesn’t dare to use it openly.

Moreover, even if Ye Zhen dared to use it, it would be impossible to process so many people.

Instead, the Soul Explosion Talisman Seed is simple, rough, and quick!

"Secondly, every prisoner must go through mutual identification to investigate their familial relations. Only those with families can stay to serve at the Red Fire Subdivision, and any with direct relatives who died in this battle must be sent to the Main Temple of the Divine Sect for disposal by the Divine Sect.

Thirdly, all martial artists staying to serve at the Red Fire Subdivision must re-swear a Divine Soul Oath of allegiance, then be dispersed and stationed!"

This order from Ye Zhen left Zuo Xiong in a bit of a daze. The handling is really too complex, but he could only proceed as instructed!

"Alright, take these two bottles of Healing Pills. I urgently need manpower now. By tonight, you must be ready!" Ye Zhen said.

"Yes..."

Jiang Biao and Lio Jiang exchanged glances, both forcing a bitter smile as they took the pills Ye Zhen handed them!

Now, they had no choice but to accept. Any reluctance would be futile, seeing the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten above, keeping a close watch on both of them!

Roar!

Suddenly, the kitten in the sky let out a soft, uneasy growl, its gaze warily fixed on a certain spot in the emptiness of the sky.

The particular spot in the sky was currently trembling rapidly, causing Ye Zhen’s expression to change abruptly, "An Establishment Realm King?"

"Subordinate Wu Ying, pays respect to Lord Ye!"

Soundlessly, a martial artist with a remarkably conspicuous crescent moon on his forehead, clad completely in black robes with most of his face covered in black gauze, appeared before Ye Zhen.

"Wu Ying, you are?" The respectful attitude of this Establishment Realm King surprised Ye Zhen!

"Shadow Moon Guard Great Commander Wu Ying. Lord Ye, the sect hierarch sent the subordinate to retrieve the previously agreed item. This is the command letter issued by the sect hierarch!" Wu Ying stated!

After Ye Zhen carefully verified the command letter, he personally took Wu Ying to the Treasure Vault to collect the Earth Core Crimson Fire Drill. Indeed, the exceptionally plain Storage Ring brought by Wu Ying managed to store those four Earth Core Crimson Fire Drills successfully. Within moments, Wu Ying left, once again vibrating through the void.

This situation left Ye Zhen somewhat astonished!

The Sun and Moon Divine Sect, regarding these Earth Core Crimson Fire Drills, valued them to an unbelievable extent!

This Shadow Moon Guard Commander should be the final force guarding the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Main Temple, also the secretive might protecting the heavily injured sect leader Jian Qianxiong.

Now, to even leave the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Main Temple for the Earth Core Crimson Fire Drill, he rushed to the Red Fire Martial City, regardless of the cost!

Only about one hour after Ye Zhen and Jian Qianxiong finished their discussion did the Shadow Moon Guard Commander Wu Ying arrive at Red Fire Martial City from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Main Temple, which is a distance of 280,000 miles!

Even a demon beast like the kitten known for its speed would take a day and night!

No matter how fast an Establishment Realm King’s speed is, it can’t exceed such a speed-specialized demonic beast like the kitten, surely using some secret technique that expends a lot to hurry at such a pace; otherwise, the aura of Wu Ying wouldn’t have been so unstable upon leaving.

This piqued Ye Zhen’s curiosity about the use of the Earth Core Crimson Fire Drill even more.

What can this thing do that the Sun and Moon Divine Sect places such emphasis on it?

Zuo Xiong wasn’t skilled at handling the mundane task of processing prisoners, leading to slow progress, but with the return of Hong Jiyin from the expedition, the speed of processing these prisoners suddenly increased several times over.

It must be said that Hong Jiyin is capable, and was also thoroughly shocked by the situation Ye Zhen brought about!

Hong Jiyin originally thought it was going to be a tough battle, but unexpectedly, it turned into a one-sided acceptance, and Ye Zhen defeated the Flying Tiger Hall faster than he could!

The most direct result of this was that Hong Jiyin looked at Ye Zhen with a gaze filled with admiration, fervent admiration!

"Lord, at the current rate, these prisoners will be processed in three hours! However, there is one thing that must be arranged immediately." Hong Jiyin walked respectfully to Ye Zhen’s side and said!

"What is it?" Ye Zhen asked!

"Lord, it is related to defen..." Before finishing the word, Hong Jiyin only managed to say three words, as he looked behind Ye Zhen, his eyes suddenly filled with enormous shock, almost staggering!

Ye Zhen was startled by Hong Jiyin’s gaze and quickly turned to look behind him, his eyes instantly freezing like Hong Jiyin’s, even more so!

In the distance, five-colored lights soared into the sky, forming an extremely bright five-colored rainbow, visible clearly from so far away!

And there, it happened to be in the direction of Tiger’s Mouth Gorge! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
