Guarding the Prison for 100 Years, I Emerge to Overwhelm the Demon Venerable Chapter 55: Tian Mu Demon Armor! Bloodthirsty Bull Demon

The Demon Armored Youth had shoulder-length golden hair, sword-like brows, star-like eyes, and a profound gaze.

He strode forward with calm indifference, walking past several patrolling Prison Suppression Bureau Martial Artists without drawing the slightest bit of attention.

Finally, he arrived at Zone B Prison, at Prison Cell No. 13.

The criminal imprisoned here was the Tian Mu Saint Son, who had been locked away by Su Bai himself.

When the Tian Mu Saint Son saw the Demon Armored Youth, his mangled, rotting body imdiately began to tremble.

With his hair disheveled and his face a ss of blood and filth that obscured his original features, he knelt on the ground and stamred in a hoarse voice.

"Greetings... Master!"

The Demon Armored Youth nodded slightly, then took out an item and said with a calm expression, "This elixir is called the Blood-Burning Golden Core. After consuming it, all your injuries will instantly heal, and it will burn your body’s Essence Blood, causing your strength to increase exponentially for a short ti."

"The price is that you will ultimately die when your Essence Blood is completely burned away."

Then, he took out another item and said impassively, "This one is the Soul-Protecting Pill. After taking it, it will protect your Divine Spirit. When the ti cos, even though your physical body dies, you can preserve your Divine Spirit and find a new body."

After giving both elixirs to the Tian Mu Saint Son, the Demon Armored Youth made a promise.

"At the beginning of next month, proceed according to the plan. After it is done, I will give you that item and transform your Celestial Eye Divine Techniques into Sixth-Grade Divine Techniques."

The Tian Mu Saint Son’s expression grew excited, his face trembling.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Demon Armored Youth spoke with the Tian Mu Saint Son for a few more monts before turning to leave.

After putting away the elixirs, the Tian Mu Saint Son’s expression returned to normal, his disguise impeccable.

As for the Demon Armored Youth, after leaving Zone B Prison, he had now transford back into the figure of Lord Xu.

"Lord Xu, please take care!"

A high-ranking Great Xia official personally escorted Lord Xu out of the prison, bowing with a respectful expression as he spoke.

Watching Lord Xu’s departing figure, the Great Xia official slowly let out a turbid breath.

’The pressure of being by Lord Xu’s side is just too much!’

After all, this Lord Xu was one of the Astronors personally appointed by Emperor Xia.

Moreover, his Martial Arts Cultivation was unfathomable.

’He’s soone you absolutely must not provoke!’

...

「Three days later.」 In his personal residence.

It was early morning.

BOOM!

With a muffled roar, Su Bai slowly opened his eyes, True Qi surging within him.

At this mont, with the help of his Experience Points, his Martial Arts Cultivation had successfully broken through to the Extraordinary Realm Ninth Layer.

His physical strength had soared.

Ever since he had confined that last batch of criminals, Su Bai’s Experience Points inco had increased significantly.

That was why his cultivation was able to progress by leaps and bounds in such a short ti.

He had broken through two minor realms consecutively, raising his cultivation from the Extraordinary Realm Seventh Layer to the Extraordinary Realm Ninth Layer.

’Based on my average inco, I should only need twenty days to break through to the Innate Great Realm!’

Su Bai’s face lit up with a hint of joy after making a quick calculation.

’This life, where I can get stronger just by lying around, is what everyone dreams of!’

Before joining the Prison Suppression Bureau, Su Bai’s status wasn’t low—he was a Prison Chief—but his days were filled with rather tedious duties.

For example, interrogating criminals, supervising the prison guards under him, and so on.

But after joining the Prison Suppression Bureau, unless there was an ergency, Su Bai’s usual task was just to patrol a few prison zones. The work wasn’t tiring, and there wasn’t much to do.

Patrolling an entire zone usually took half a day at most, and Su Bai was free to use the rest of his ti as he pleased.

There were quite a few Prison Suppression Bureau Martial Artists like Su Bai who had a lot of leisure ti on a normal day.

So would use their free ti to find so fun and relax.

Others would cultivate diligently, striving to improve their strength.

And so would just lie flat—working when they had to and lazing around when they didn’t.

As it happened, Su Bai was a pri example of the latter!

Of course, Su Bai also planned to reveal a cultivation at the Qi Sea Realm Third Layer after so ti, showing a little of his talent to the higher-ups.

Not too much, just enough.

In this way, Su Bai could probably get a promotion within a year or two.

After that, once Su Bai beca one of the decision-makers, one of the controllers of the entire prison...

...wouldn’t the Experience Points co rolling in?

’By then, the number of criminals confined in the Purification Tripod will probably see a terrifying increase! My speed of breaking through realms will also improve significantly!’

Su Bai thought about it and felt the future was full of promise.

He then straightened his clothes and walked out of his personal residence.

He hadn’t gone far down the brightly lit corridor when...

...he saw that guy Zhang Wei, all dressed up and looking for all the world like a handso young noble.

He was walking toward him with a giddy, spring-in-his-step look on his face.

Zhang Wei’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Bai. He hurried over and exclaid with a sigh, "My dear Brother Su Bai!"

"It’s the beginning of the month, the Youlan Grand Assembly! Why are you still cooped up all alone in this gloomy prison?"

Su Bai was taken aback.

Then he thought for a mont and it all ca back to him.

The so-called Youlan Grand Assembly was a festival established many years ago by Emperor Xia to commorate his deceased wife, Empress Lan.

A festival he personally decreed!

On this day, many officials and common people of the Great Xia Dynasty would spontaneously take to the streets, either to sing of Empress Lan’s glorious deeds or to hold grand banquets to commorate her together.

Emperor Xia himself would also appear at the banquet at the final mont to rember Empress Lan with everyone.

Empress Lan was a woman of heaven-gifted talent.

Emperor Xia’s ability to establish the Xia Dynasty, and even the Great Xia Dynasty’s current splendor, were both inseparable from this legendary woman.

Therefore, for many people, commorating Empress Lan was a truly heartfelt sentint.

"The Youlan Grand Assembly..."

Hearing about this grand festival reminded Su Bai of the note that the girl nad Luo Liyue had handed him during the last Qingxia Festival.

"Let’s go, let’s go! Brother Su Bai! We’ll go together!"

A mont later, Zhang Wei was pulling Su Bai, trying to drag him out of the prison.

Su Bai didn’t refuse.

In his heart, however, he was wondering if he would be able to see that deer-like girl again.

But the two had just arrived at the Youlan Grand Assembly and hadn’t been enjoying themselves for long before a Prison Suppression Bureau Martial Artist hastily called them back.

It turned out that several powerful Demon Beasts had taken advantage of the Youlan Grand Assembly to cause successive disturbances within the Great Xia Dynasty’s territory.

After being captured by the Prison Suppression Bureau’s Martial Artists, Su Bai and Zhang Wei were needed to run an errand: lock these Demon Beasts in the prison.

"Damn those Demon Beasts!!"

"I’m going to tear you limb from limb!"

On the way back.

Zhang Wei let out a wail of anguish, his face full of anger and resentnt.

He had just been hitting it off with a hot girl!

He was just about to seal the deal!

But then...

...this had to happen!

Su Bai, standing beside him, burst out laughing and couldn’t help but pat his shoulder in a gesture of consolation.

When the two returned to the prison, they saw several enormous Demon Beasts bound tightly in chains.

They were roaring incessantly.

Among them, a terrifying Cow Demon with crimson eyes caught Su Bai’s attention.

Su Bai split off a wisp of his Divine Sense and used it to confine the beast in the Purification Tripod.

[Criminal: Bloodthirsty Bull Demon]

[Sin Level: Six-Star]

[Strength: Level 5 Demon Beast (Equivalent to an Extraordinary Realm Seventh Layer Martial Artist)]

[Status: Heavily Injured (Imprisoned)]

[Suppression Involvent: 1%]

[Reward: 200 Experience Points/hour]

Just as Su Bai was checking the Cow Demon’s information...

BOOM!

Suddenly, the entire prison...

...trembled violently!
