However, Capture the prison guards is not the priority; the next focus is on renovating the Prison Space.
Whether it's Ling Yi, Jiang Yuyan, or Hei Zun, they are all now paying more attention to reforming the Prison Space.
This will be their home from now on, so they cherish it dearly.
The sole purpose of the renovation is to green the Prison Space.
Ling Yi also discovered that the creatures that entered the Prison Space could survive even without food or water.
Just like the fish and shrimp in the lake, the water.
Several days have passed, and even though the fish in the lake haven't eaten, they are still thriving.
Moreover, prolonged stays in Prison Space can actually enhance one's abilities.
Ling Yi estimated that there must be some kind of energy in this Prison Space, similar to the Spiritual Qi energy in cultivation novels, which is why it's like this.
However, if you don't eat, you will still feel hungry.
Once you get used to it, the hunger will gradually disappear.
Jiang Yuyan's previous coordinates for entering and exiting the Prison Space were not at Yuelai Inn, but at Fallen Phoenix Mountain.
Therefore, Jiang Yuyan and Hei Zun have been digging in the mountain during this period.
Inside the Prison Space, the 137 guards, under Jiang Yuyan's arrangement, were put into the renovation project of the Great Prison System under the guise of performing forced labor.
Some were digging soil, some were laying paving, some were planting trees, and some were planting grass.
It looked like a lively and bustling scene.
These prisoners had considered rebelling, but whenever the thought arose, they would be beaten by Hei Zun.
As a prison guard, under the system's rules, the prison guard has absolute control over the prison guard.
And forced labor can indeed reduce the Sin Value committed by these people.
The harder you work, the faster your Sin Value decreases.
Originally, it would take one month to reduce Sin Value by 1 point.
Without forced labor, prisoners with high Evil Value would likely take several years to be released.
Well, whether or not to release him is entirely up to Ling Yi's will.
But Ling Yi promised these prisoners that once their Evil Value" was reduced to zero, they would be free.
These prisoners knew the Sin Value the moment they were Prison.
Their shift from initial resistance to active effort is also related to Ling Yi's promise.
Two weeks later.
In a valley of Fallen Phoenix Mountain.
Ling Yi, Jiang Yuyan, and Hei Zun —two people and a cat—appeared out of thin air.
Jiang Yuyan pointed to the valley ahead and said, "Young Master, Hei Zun and I have already investigated. There's only one bandit group in Fallen Phoenix Mountain."
Ling Yi nodded. Fallen Phoenix Mountain is composed of three consecutive mountain peaks.
Now, one mountain peak has been "moved" into the Prison Space by Jiang Yuyan and Hei Zun, leaving two mountain peaks remaining.
According to Jiang Yuyan's plan, both mountains must be moved into the Prison Space for the first phase of the renovation project to be considered complete.
Moving them was easy, but the reform process was quite extensive, and the small number of prisoners greatly slowed down the reform progress.
But no matter what, let's bring Fallen Phoenix Mountain in first.
As the number of prisoners increases in the future, the speed of rehabilitation will naturally increase.
"Then..." Ling Yi was about to say, "Let's wipe out all these bandits!"
They Perception several familiar Aura approaching quickly.
Soon, five figures appeared in Ling Yi's line of sight.
The newcomers were none other than Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Ximen Chuixue, Sikong Zhaixing, and Shangguan Haitang.
As they approached, they all couldn't help but glance at the Black Cat.
They had never seen such a magnificent Black Panther before, let alone one that was sitting so obediently beside Jiang Yuyan.
The leopard's face, in particular, held a human-like expression of curiosity, which everyone found quite astonishing.
"Brother Ling, I've been looking for you quite a bit these past few days." Lu Xiaofeng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi adjusted his expression, composed himself, and said coldly, "Looking for me? For the Bodhi's Remains?"
Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback, but Ling Yi's attitude didn't anger him; instead, it made him even more worried.
"Brother Ling, we are not enemies, and you are in great danger right now!" Lu Xiaofeng said.
"Danger? I'm curious, where does this danger come from?" Ling Yi glanced at the group with disdain.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't know how to explain for a moment. He was afraid that revealing the truth would worsen Ling Yi's inner demons.
At this moment, Ximen Chuixue stepped forward and said, " Lu Xiaofeng is right, we are not enemies."
[ Ximen Chuixue: Good Value 0/ Evil Value 793, Good and Evil Value -793, Cultivation: Master Ninth Stage!]
[ Lu Xiaofeng: Good Value 611/ Evil Value 71, Good and Evil Value 540, Cultivation: Master Sixth Stage!]
[ Hua Manlou: Good Value 1311/ Evil Value 5, Good and Evil Value 1311, Cultivation: Master Fourth Stage!]
[ Sikong Zhaixing: Good Value 19/ Evil Value 45, Good and Evil Value -26, Cultivation: Innate Ninth Stage!]
[ Shangguan Haitang: Good Value 253/ Evil Value 297, Good and Evil Value -44, Cultivation: Master Third Stage!]
Although Ling Yi had already seen the Good and Evil Value of these people, he still felt a pang of sadness every time he looked at them.
Especially Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, their Good Value is too high, they can never become Capture of the Prison Space.
This was the first time Ximen Chuixue, Shangguan Haitang, and Ling Yi had met.
Ling Yi hadn't expected Ximen Chuixue to have such a high Evil Value, but thinking about it, it didn't seem so strange.
His sword is a killing sword, a Emotionless Sword. Whenever he uses it, it is usually a life-or-death battle, and he rarely shows any mercy.
His heart was filled only with the sword; wherever the sword pointed, there was the enemy, and life and death; he had no concept of good or evil.
The more he killed, the more enemies he made; his reputation was earned through sheer bloodshed.
"There are two dangers: one is the inner demon, and the other is the cultivation technique!" Xinmen Chuixue succinctly stated.
The cultivation technique is understandable; after all, Bodhi's Remains were in his possession, and perhaps someone had their eye on his technique.
After all, the power he displayed was too Transcendent, and in the eyes of others, he must possess unparalleled martial arts skills.
But what exactly is this inner demon?
"You mean I have a demon in my heart?" Ling Yi sneered.
"Yes, the more powerful the cultivation technique, the easier it is to breed inner demons. And you already have inner demons. Now that they have taken hold, there is no saving you once they become demonic."
Ling Yi roughly understood something.
I guess my earlier antics in front of the Fuwei Escort Agency caused some misunderstanding among these people.
Inner demons? Good heavens, what have these guys been imagining?
However, this inner demon, well, that's not a bad reason.
No matter what trouble I cause in the future, I can always attribute it to my inner demons.
"Demons, inner demons? How laughable!"
He paused, then continued, "The second danger you mentioned is that someone has their eyes on Bodhi's Remains and my martial arts techniques, right?"
"Yes!"
"Hmph, the Jianghu is still the same Jianghu. This saves me a lot of trouble."
At this point, Ling Yi's aura surged, and his Power of Qi and Blood, Divine Power, and Master Realm cultivation all erupted simultaneously.
The group couldn't help but take a few steps back, their faces wary.
Although Ling Yi was only a beginner Master, his aura was terrifying. Even Ximen Chuixue felt immense pressure.
Coupled with Ling Yi 'Ling Yi unpredictable and mysterious methods, they were even more wary of him.
Seeing the others' reaction, Ling Yi sneered twice and turned to walk into the valley.
Lu Xiaofeng, however, stepped in front of Ling Yi.
"You should know why I'm here. Why are you trying to stop me?"
With a solemn Fist Dao, "Brother Ling, we are not enemies!"
"No, from this moment on, the entire Jianghu is my enemy. If you obstruct me, you will also be my enemy from now on."
"Brother Ling, the matter of inner demons is not an empty word. During the period of inner demons, the more one kills, the harder it is to save one!"
"The hatred of the massacre of the village is irreconcilable. Get out of the way!" Ling Yi said coldly.
"Brother Ling, do you know why we came to Fallen Phoenix Mountain?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
You can't stop me!
"No, we didn't know we would meet Brother Ling here. We came to Fallen Phoenix Mountain to wipe out this band of bandits," Lu Xiaofeng explained earnestly.
"As long as Brother Ling can restrain his killing intent during this period, the inner demon will not grow. Once Brother Ling can Perception and suppress the inner demon, he will be able to eliminate it."
Ling Yi has now become curious about inner demons.
Logically speaking, inner demons are something that usually appear in the world of cultivation.
In the world of martial arts, inner demons probably don't even qualify as something of that high caliber.
In Ling Yi's view, so-called inner demons are nothing more than extreme thinking and getting stuck in a rut.
Judging from the serious expressions on Lu Xiaofeng's, Ximen Chuixue's, and others' faces, it was clear that they were extremely wary of and well-versed in the so-called inner demons.
Of course, Ling Yi knew that he did not have any inner demons.
He wants to be the Thanos of the Jianghu world, but it's all just for show.
Ling Yi's goal has always been the same: to Capture prisoners.
If someone's Good and Evil Value positive, Ling Yi naturally wouldn't touch them.
In the Jianghu world, very few people have a positive Good and Evil Value; most have a negative one.
It can be said that Ling Yi is destined to be an enemy of the entire Jianghu, unless Ling Yi stops arresting people from now on.
But if that's the case, wouldn't the Great Prison System become just a decoration?
This is absolutely impossible.
This vast Combined Martial Arts World has so many hidden easter eggs!
Ling Yi is currently just stirring up trouble in the martial Jianghu the Great Ming Dynasty, causing a stir in the Jianghu of Great Ming and Great Song.
Once there's nothing left to do here, or things go wrong, we can just switch to a different Map and create new characters.
This is just the beginning, let's go all out first.
"I need to avenge this personally. Anyone who stands in my way is an enemy. As for inner demons, that's utter nonsense."
I'm saying it one last time, get out of the way!
Lu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped aside.
Ling Yi's figure flickered, and a Flying Sword appeared in the air. Ling Yi jumped onto the Flying Sword, soared into the sky, and arrived above the bandit stronghold, where he stood suspended in mid-air.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, then looked at Ximen Chuixue.
" The Jianghu is about to descend into chaos, Ximen. I hope you're right!"
Ximen remained silent, his brow furrowed.
Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue disagreed on how to help Ling Yi overcome his inner demons.
Lu Xiaofeng's idea was to let Ling Yi control his murderous intent and stop killing during this period. Once Ling Yi was able to gradually suppress his inner demons, he would then find a way to completely eliminate them.
But Ximen Chuixue's method was exactly the opposite.
In his view, inner demons can only be truly eliminated by being completely released.
When he Innate from the Innate Realm to the Master, he experienced inner demons, and it was through extreme killing that he overcame them.
Having grasped the truth that the Emotionless Sword Intent is not Emotionless, he finally broke through to the Master realm. At least before reaching the Grandmaster level, there were no more obstacles to his advancement.
Therefore, Ximen Chuixue's Sword Intent is that it is better to guide than to block.
" Ling Yi is inherently difficult to stop; his inner demons are stubborn, so we can only rely on him," Ximen Chuixue said, shaking his head.
Ximen Chuixue's meaning was very straightforward: they couldn't defeat Ling Yi.
If you can't beat them, you can't stop them; if you can't stop them, just ignore them.
He was the same way back then, and Lu Xiaofeng tried to stop him, but could he?
"What are your plans for the Dragon Guarding Manor?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed and looked at Shangguan Haitang.
"Let's see first, then we'll do it!" Shangguan Haitang shook her head.
She had no better options, and the prince had not issued any new orders. Now she could only wait and see what Ling Yi did.
"What if Ling Yi completely falls into demonic possession?" Sikong Zhaixing suddenly asked.
Just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to say something, he heard Hua Manlou, "Young Master Ling will not be possessed by demons!"
Why?
Everyone looked at him.
Hua Manlou smiled brightly, then uttered two words: "Intuition!"
