Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311: Heavenly Punishment Department Master

The massive shockwave was entirely blocked by the elder, and thanks to the elder’s restraint, everyone else returned to normal and gathered together.

"Are you all okay?"

Su Chengyu asked the others.

Yang Junmo nodded. Although the Hou Tu Stele he had used to imprison the embryonic Dragon Vein was destroyed, it hadn’t caused any harm to himself.

The magical thing about the Earth-heart Lotus’ Summoned Creature was precisely this, they seemed physical but didn’t cause much backlash to the user, and even if completely destroyed, they could be restored with just a bit more mana.

"Master, I’m fine too. What’s happening with the True Dragon Armor?"

Su Chengyu shook his head, he didn’t know.

The restlessness of the True Dragon Armor hadn’t stopped, but the elder seemed to have sensed something and used a technique to block the Dragon Vein’s connection with the outside world, preventing the True Dragon Armor from resonating with the Dragon Vein again.

"What do we do now?"

After confirming that Bei Tang Lin was not in life-threatening danger, Bei Tang Qian Xiao also came over to ask.

Before Su Chengyu could speak, Bei Tang Lin said, "Isn’t it obvious? We should take this opportunity to strike at that old geezer!"

Su Chengyu gave her a cold look. "You’re going to kill an Earth Immortal?"

"Earth Immortal?"

Bei Tang Lin took a subconscious step back upon hearing these words, and then said with disbelief.

"Who are you fooling? Even if this is the Capital City, Earth Immortals can’t be everywhere! If you’re scared to act, just say so, don’t try to scare me!"

Su Chengyu sneered and couldn’t be bothered with this person.

For precaution, the elder made a full-strength move to prevent the burning iron chunks from affecting even the slightest bit of the Dragon Vein, but this also allowed Su Chengyu to fully confirm the opponent’s realm.

Earth Immortal.

However, the elder’s state was clearly abnormal, the pressure was undiminished, but the danger he posed to Su Chengyu was incomparable to Earth Immortals like Ye Qingci and Feng Jie Yu.

It was rather similar to the status of the aged Martial God Long Tingsheng—clearly abnormal.

Nevertheless, Su Chengyu understood that even if the elder was at the end of his strength, the power of an Earth Immortal was real and far beyond what they could handle.

The elder seemed to think the same, not taking the group seriously at all. After dissipating the last of the iron chunks’ remaining force, he coldly looked towards the still open spatial channel.

"Thinking of escaping? Is it too late?"

As the elder’s words fell, he formed a small Dharma Body with his hand and reached directly into the channel.

Then with a forceful pull backward, a person in black was yanked through the air into the Small Opening where the embryonic Dragon Vein was located.

This astonishing scene made Bei Tang Lin’s eyes widen. No matter how much she disbelieved Su Chengyu’s words before, this moment made her understand that the elder in front of them was indeed a genuine Earth Immortal.

Only an Earth Immortal had the power to lock onto a person’s form through the spatial channel of a Small Opening.

Pfft!

With just a slight effort, the Hollow Realm cultivator in the elder’s hand violently spat out a mouthful of blood. He widened his eyes and asked the elder in front of him, "Who are you?"

"That’s what I should be asking you!"

The cold reply left the other person feeling utterly desolate.

The overwhelming pressure that hit him head-on had long since allowed him to recognize the other party’s realm, it was definitely the strength that only one in the Earth Immortal Realm could possess. However, considering his purpose for coming here, the man in black still defiantly said.

"Senior, I was merely following someone and accidentally trespassed here, with no intention to disturb you."

"None? Had that strike just now been successful, even I would have lost some skin. How can you say that you had no intention to disturb?"

The embryonic form of Mount Qilong’s Dragon Vein stretched from its origin at Mount Qilong towards the northwest, winding across a thousand miles. Even now in its nascent form, once detonated, its power would be extremely astonishing, and more importantly...

"Exactly who sent you here, do you realize what you just did?"

Anger was evident on the old man’s face, although the source of his ire wasn’t entirely clear to the man in black. After pondering for a moment, he decided to speak.

"I am willing to apologize for my previous reckless actions to senior."

"Apologize?"

Hearing this word, the old man then turned his head to glance at the distant Dragon Vein, "Do you know what a Dragon Vein means to a country? Apologize? Even your life wouldn’t be enough to atone for the mistake you’ve made! I’ll ask you one more time, who sent you here!"

However, after hearing these words, the man in black suddenly realized something and looked up at the old man, saying, "You are... You are Qiu Tianlin?"

"Qiu Tianlin!"

Yang Junmo’s eyes widened the moment he heard this name, as if he recognized the other person.

On the other side, Bei Tang Qian Xiao and Su Chengyu looked puzzled towards Yang Junmo, as the name was far too unfamiliar to both of them.

Swallowing nervously, Yang Junmo whispered, "The current Sect Master of the Heavenly Punishment Department, Qiu Tianlin."

Yang Junmo’s explanation made Su Chengyu gasp with shock. The Heavenly Punishment Department oversaw execution and law enforcement.

When the three departments were first established, the Demon Slayer Department and the Dragon Soul Department didn’t have as much power as they do now.

Back then, the Demon Slayer Department and the Dragon Soul Department were mainly responsible for capturing criminals, and although they could execute on the spot, most cases were reluctant urgencies.

However, after Yang Chengyin took office, over the decades the Demon Slayer Department’s posture changed, and the Heavenly Punishment Department quietly faded from public view.

Already inconspicuous for not appearing on the frontlines, in the span of several decades, the Heavenly Punishment Department has long been forgotten, and even the name of the Heavenly Punishment Department Master was hardly known among the younger generation.

Yang Junmo could only know this due to his status.

Born into the Yang Family, even though the name is seldom mentioned now, he still heard it from his father’s mouth.

"I didn’t expect the two groups who stumbled into this place to both recognize me."

Qiu Tianlin said with a light chuckle, disregarding Su Chengyu and others, his gaze fell on the man in black, "Now that you’ve recognized me, you should understand what it means if you don’t reveal your backer, right?"

The Heavenly Punishment Department specialized in execution and interrogation.

There were rumors that falling into the hands of the Demon Slayer Department or the Dragon Soul Department meant death at worst.

But if you fell into the hands of the Heavenly Punishment Department, they had a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead.

A colossal pressure bore down on him, and faced with Qiu Tianlin, a genuine Earth Immortal, a wavering thought emerged in his mind.

However, the instant this thought flashed by, a strange energy suddenly erupted from his Nascent Soul, and before the man in black could even react, Demonic Qi had already engulfed the cultivator’s entire body!

"Be careful!"

Su Chengyu immediately spoke upon sensing something was amiss, and Qiu Tianlin had already reacted, releasing his grip and retreating a hundred meters away. A black Sword Qi appeared out of thin air, instantly bisecting the man in black’s figure along with his Nascent Soul!

And the Demonic Qi scattered in the air began to swarm erratically like headless flies, with a great portion of it, upon noticing the presence of Su Chengyu and the others, rapidly spreading towards them!
