Chapter 123 Seizing Power
"Stop!"
"The City Lord's Mansion is a restricted area, no outsiders are allowed to approach!"
Bai Donglin stood outside the City Lord's Mansion. The skinny monkey who led the way was scolded by several black-armored guards and ran away in shame, but he didn't care.
Ignoring the fierce looks of several guards, he hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of crushing them violently. He now needed a force to help him deal with some trivial matters, and the City Lord's Mansion looked very good.
He took out a piece of glittering crystal from the bracelet. Crystal liquid was rippling in the crystal, and a rich spiritual energy spread out.
The guards at the door suddenly widened their eyes, their eyes full of greed, their noses twitching rapidly, greedily swallowing the overflowing spiritual energy. Seeing this, Bai Donglin smiled slightly, took back the crystal and said:
"I'm here to offer treasures, why don't you go and inform your city lord?"
Upon hearing this, several guards suppressed the greed in their eyes. They dared not covet the city lord's things and could only swallow hard. Then one of them disappeared and went to report, while the others stared at Bai Donglin, afraid that he would suddenly run away with the treasure.
After a while, the guards came back and politely led Bai Donglin into the mansion. Bai Donglin had made great contributions in presenting treasures and would surely be appreciated by the city lord. By then, his status would be higher than theirs, so naturally they would not dare to offend him.
The city lord's mansion is quite large, magnificent and imposing. All kinds of rare and precious treasures can be seen everywhere. To cultivators, these mundane objects without spiritual energy are like soil and stones and can only be used for decoration.
Bai Donglin followed the guards through several courtyards and came to the reception hall. On the main seat in the hall sat a middle-aged man with ordinary looks. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, but he had an extraordinary aura of dignity.
"Lord City Lord, the person has been brought here!"
The black-armored guard bowed and led Bai Donglin into the hall, then stepped out of the door and stood with his head bowed. There were black-armored guards standing in the yard and around the hall, faintly locking onto Bai Donglin with their aura.
It seems that this city lord is quite cautious!
The middle-aged man on the main seat looked at Bai Donglin with a gentle expression, smiled and said: "Little brother, I heard that you want to offer a treasure? I wonder what treasure it is, can you let this city lord open his eyes."
"If it is really a treasure, this city lord will not treat you unfairly."
Bai Donglin sneered in his heart. A criminal actually thought he was the city lord. He would not be fooled by his gentle appearance.
This person's strength is not weak. He is not just an individual cultivator. According to his divine sense observation, his strength has reached the great perfection of the divine power realm. It is possible for him to break the mirror at any time. However, it is difficult to break the mirror in this black prison.
This person's combat power is probably not weaker than that of Chen Chen, Xue Huang and others. However, this is also the reason why Chen Chen and others' cultivation realm is still far from the great perfection. The combat power of the genius disciple of the Holy Sect is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators of the same realm.
If they were both in the Great Perfection Mirror Realm of the Divine Power Realm, Chen Chen would only need three sword strikes to kill the city lord.
Bai Donglin could defeat this man now, but there was no need, as he had a better way.
He took out the glittering crystal, and as the rich spiritual energy spread, the soul in Bai Donglin's sea of consciousness began to burn violently. The golden vertical lines between his eyebrows opened, and a thick soul attack spurted out.
Just as the middle-aged man's eyes were attracted by the crystal, a horrifying soul attack shot directly into his sea of consciousness under the cover of the fluctuations of spiritual energy. His soul was hit and his body suddenly stagnated.
Bai Donglin was unyielding and a black shadow instantly stepped out from between his eyebrows. The soul of a physical cultivator was much weaker than his body, but a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the supernatural power realm would not be easily killed by a soul attack.
The black shadow was naturally the "evilest soul" that was best at playing with souls. The black shadow entered the middle-aged man's sea of consciousness and took a step forward to arrive in front of his still shaking soul.
With a low chuckle, the hand surrounded by pitch-black flames penetrated deeply into his soul. Complex black runes began to emerge and spread out, wrapping up the soul in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a black flame penetrated into the depths of the soul.
After a moment, the "Most Evil Soul" withdrew his hand, nodded with satisfaction, stepped out of the Sea of God, and returned to Bai Donglin's Sea of God.
At this time, the black-armored guards outside the door also felt that their city lord was in an abnormal condition. Their faces changed drastically, and then they rushed into the house and pounced on Bai Donglin.
"stop!"
"What are you doing? This little brother is the city lord's guest, get out now!"
The middle-aged man flew into a rage and yelled at the black-armored guard frantically, with a faint black light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"City Lord, calm down. This subordinate deserves to die!"
When the black-armored guards saw the middle-aged man getting angry, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, then left the hall.
The middle-aged man waved his hand to close the door, activated the isolation formation, then knelt in front of Bai Donglin and said respectfully:
"I am Zhang Shanren, your humble servant, honored to meet you, my master!"
Bai Donglin nodded slightly, walked slowly to the main seat and sat down. Just now, in a flash, he suddenly attacked his soul, and then made some modifications to his soul, adding some memories and restrictions.
Now in Zhang Shanren's heart, Bai Donglin is his heaven, his supreme master, who would not even frown if he were told to die.
In this way, he easily took over the largest force in this "City of Extreme Evil" without bloodshed. This is the benefit of his powerful soul.
"Zhang Shanren, please tell me about the situation in this black prison."
He did not read Zhang Shanren's memory. What he wanted was a subordinate who could assist him, not an idiot. He was currently unable to read the memory without causing any injuries, especially to cultivators of the same realm. However, he could do it if it was a mortal or a low-level cultivator.
As for those hooligans he had just killed, they probably didn't know as much as he did.
"Yes, Master!"
Afterwards, Zhang Shanren told Bai Donglin everything that happened in the Black Prison. Of course, he only told Bai Donglin about the situation on the 29th floor. He had been staying on the 29th floor since he entered the Black Prison and had never moved.

There are twenty-nine levels in the Black Prison, with sixty hours in a day, thirty-seven hours during the day, and twenty-three hours at night. There are nine big suns in the sky, which appear randomly in the sky every day. When the nine suns are across the sky, the earth is a sea of fire.
At night, the temperature was extremely low, and even cultivators at the supernatural power level did not dare to wander around the earth at night.
This is also the reason why many cities are built in the Grand Canyon. There are countless ferocious beasts underground, so it is not realistic to build underground cities.
There are dozens of cities built by human monks on this level, scattered throughout this not-too-large-sized twenty-nine-level space.
In addition to the human monks who like to gather in groups, there are also many demons, monsters, alien creatures, etc. who like to act independently, either occupying the mountains as kings or wandering around the earth.
The dangers that human monks have to face here include the underground beasts and these messy monsters. The underground beasts are also their main source of food. Of course, under special circumstances, these evil people don't mind eating their own kind.
Bai Donglin pondered for a moment, with a lot of information circulating in his mind. After a moment, he nodded slightly. It seemed that his plan was feasible and this place was indeed suitable for him.
"Zhang Shanren, do you think there are any good people in this black prison?"
"Master, yes!"
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Of course it's you, Master! Master, you are the best person in the world! You are light, you are electricity..."
“…”
Damn it, I didn't instill these weird things in him just now! Is this old guy a flatterer?
"Ahem, alright, alright, I know all this very well, there's no need for you to emphasize it here. I'm asking about everyone except me."
"Master, that's all. I have been in the Black Prison for so many years, and all the people I met were extremely evil. Even death cannot atone for their crimes!"
"Does that mean these people should be killed?"
"That's right! Even I am guilty of a crime that deserves death. When my master no longer needs my service, I will commit suicide on the spot to report my crime to the world!"
“…”
By the way, is flattery really addictive?
