603 Thunder Island (1)
Under the power of the immortal sect, Song Shi felt that the speed of teleportation surpassed light. It was unbelievably fast.
A golden door shone with light as Song Shi and Kang Lixun walked out. Accompanied by wind and thunder, the scene was very shocking.
“I’ve directly teleported to Thunder Island, one of the East Continent’s encampnts. I’ll replace my fellow guards first.”
Kang Lixun explained.
When Song Shi heard about Thunder Island, he checked the map and nodded slightly.
This was a strange island floating in the sea of lightning. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. Rich lightning power gathered. It was one of the bases of the Lightning Punishnt Division in the East Continent.
The Lightning Golden Sect behind them had a special teleportation power that could allow them to easily travel billions of miles to and fro the Immortal Court.
Song Shi sized up the Thunder Island. Although it was called an island, it was actually a huge rock suspended in the air. It was quite wide and was engraved with dense immortal patterns.
There were a few immortal palaces on it, a square with so weapons on it, lightning drums, and an area that looked like a cage. Most of the rest were bare stones. In the center was the golden lightning door. There were lightning dragons circling on both sides, resting with their eyes narrowed.
Swoosh!
A Lightning Punishnt Envoy in silver armor appeared. When he saw Kang Lixun, he asked in surprise, “Brother Kang, why did you co early this ti?”
“Bring the newbie here to familiarize himself with the situation. It’s only a few years until the shift. Go back and rest.”
Kang Lixun pointed at Song Shi. “This is the new Lightning Punishnt Envoy. His na is Song Shi. Like , this is the commander of the Lightning Punishnt Envoy. His na is Zhang Jing.”
“Yeah, of course.”
The latter still did not know about Song Shi’s glorious deeds. He only nodded slightly and smiled at Kang Lixun. “You said it yourself. I won’t return it in the next few years.”
“Go back to the Immortal Court and rest. Leave this to .”
Kang Lixun didn’t care about these few years anymore.
“Haha, how refreshing.”
Zhang Jing took out the token and activated it with a hand seal. After handing it over to Kang Lixun, he said, “Everyone is very familiar with it, so I can’t be bothered to tell anyone else. You’ve been guarding Eastroad Island for a thousand years and paid attention to it. The Night Wanderer sensed that it was not very stable there and showed signs of violating the rules of the heavens.”
“It’s not the first or second ti they’ve been dishonest. There shouldn’t be any major problems. Even if there are problems, there are still Immortal Monarchs watching over them.”
Kang Lixun didn’t care and waved his hand.
“No problem. Take him with you.”
Zhang Jing directly inford an immortal guarding in front of the cage. When the latter heard this, he happily handed a bunch of keys to Song Shi. “Brother, I’ll leave the Heavenly Prison to you. Other than being bored, this job is quite good.”
Under Song Shi’s stunned gaze, the two immortals left in a hurry, looking like they had just gotten off work.
Kang Lixun smiled and said, “These two guys have a family in the Central Continent, so they don’t really want to stay here.”
He turned around and shouted, “All Lightning Punishnt Envoys on duty, co over!”
Swish swish swish swish!
Lightning flashed, and in a few breaths, four immortals gathered. They cupped their fists at Kang Lixun. “Greetings, Commander Kang.”
“Tell about the current situation.”
Kang Lixun looked at one of the immortals. “Old Wang, you tell .”
“Kang Tou, there are four Lightning Punishnt Envoys patrolling outside now. Three of them are resting in the East Continent. The Heavenly Prison is holding a Black Water Mystic Snake that has eaten too many people to receive the lightning punishnt.”
Song Shi looked at the cage again and indeed found a black thing. He could not help but mutter in his heart.
Black Water Mystic Snake… Wasn’t this the legendary ancient vicious beasts? It was actually locked up and struck by lightning.
“Then everything will continue as usual. Let this new Fellow Daoist Song Shi replace He Kong to guard the Heavenly Prison. Old Wang, teach him more often.”
With that, Kang Lixun said to Song Shi, “There’s not much to do here. There’s only patrolling, arresting, and lightning punishnt. The Heavenly Prison you’re guarding is a kind of lightning punishnt used to target stubborn people who don’t deserve death.”
Song Shi nodded. “It’s the difference between a fixed-term sentence and a death sentence.”
“Uh, more or less. As for the specifics, you can further understand them through the Lightning Punishnt Token. If there’s nothing else, go do your own thing.”
After saying that, Kang Lixun disappeared in a flash. As the commander here, he naturally did not have to do any specific chores and could stay in the immortal palace directly.
Of course, the most important thing was that he did not want to stay with Song Shi for too long. Firstly, it was very likely that his subordinates would discover that he was afraid of Song Shi. Secondly, he was afraid that Song Shi would hit him here.
The other Lightning Punishnt Envoys smiled at Song Shi and began to introduce themselves.
“I’m Wang Dong. Welco to our Lightning Punishnt Platform.”
The person Kang Lixun called Old Wang was a thin, black middle-aged man. He looked thin, but he was very strong. His cultivation level was also at the late-stage Heavenly Immortal realm. It seed that one could not beco a commander at the late-stage Heavenly Immortal realm.
“I’m Li Dingtai.”
“I…”
“Brother Song, you’re already a Lightning Punishnt Envoy at such a young age. Which immortal sect are you from?”
“That’s right. If a low-level Heavenly Immortal can obtain this position, Brother Song’s background must be extraordinary.”
“I see that Commander Kang is quite polite to you. Tell us your background and make us envious.”
Song Shi shook his head. “I don’t have any background. I’m just an ascender from the lower realm.”
When the four immortals heard this, three of their gazes clearly changed and their attitudes beca much colder.
If one did not have any background here or even in the entire Immortal Court, it would be very difficult to be promoted.
“Ascender? Old Wang and Old Ma are also ascenders. You should have sothing in common.”
“I still have sothing to deal with. I’ll take my leave first.”
“It’ll be my turn to patrol soon. I have to prepare.”
The three of them each found an excuse to leave and did not talk to Song Shi much. They were not interested in Song Shi’s life experiences in the lower realm.
Such a realistic scene made Song Shi speechless. Just because he did not have a background did not an that he was not a powerful figure.
“Hehe, these guys don’t have any ill intentions. It’s just that they’ve been here for too long and have seen too many things. They value background too much.”
Wang Dong smiled awkwardly. “For example, Kang Lixun and I have similar cultivation levels, but there’s soone behind him, so he’s the commander while I’m not.”
“It’s normal. It’s better to be realistic.”
Song Shi did not care. Even though they were all colleagues now, so things could not be avoided.
To a certain extent, there was no difference between humans and immortals. They would not change just because they were immortal. In fact, it would be even more serious and their prejudice would be deeper.
“Brother Song, it’s good that you’re open-minded. We’re all ascenders and don’t have any background. We have to rely on ourselves.”
Wang Dong smiled. “Let tell you about the situation in the Heavenly Prison first. You can get used to this faster. You usually guard the Heavenly Prison. As long as you don’t let the imprisoned things escape and punish them on ti, this matter is the easiest.”
“Yeah, of course.”
Song Shi followed him to the Heavenly Prison and asked curiously, “Can this Black Water Mystic Snake be eaten?”
“Usually, those who are locked up here and not killed have a background. Do you think they can be eaten?”
