Black Book

Chapter 318 I still like your unruly look just now
As a new official, Zhu Haomiao had just started to get familiar with the work when he convened an internal competition, gathering nearly a thousand armed personnel.

Dangdang~
The huge martial arts arena was surrounded by three layers of walls. Zhu Haomiao and a group of inspectors sat on the steps, watching the constables below fighting fiercely.

Although they were all colleagues, everyone automatically divided into camps according to their respective markets and shouted and cheered excitedly.

But as the competition progressed, everyone discovered that Lechangfang's overall strength was far ahead. Those tough figures had a huge advantage among warriors of the same level, and occasionally they could even defeat some masters from other towns by crossing levels.

All the inspectors couldn't help but look sideways at the young man sitting on the armchair, wanting to know how he trained such elite soldiers!

They had secretly asked the people in Lechangfang before, but they just smiled and said nothing. The whole neighborhood was as united as an iron barrel and didn't leak any information at all.

On the other side, seeing that the time was almost right, Zhu Haomiao stopped the game and said to the people around him.

"Yunsheng, compete with your colleagues and let me see your progress!"

"Yes!"

Yan Yunsheng clasped his fists confidently, leaped several feet, and landed in the martial arts arena.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and then at the calm young man, they realized that he was testing the quality of them.

Immediately, a burly man stood up and excitedly accepted the challenge, wanting to show off in front of his boss.

When the onlookers saw the two city chiefs fighting each other, waves of thunderous cheers broke out!
But as soon as they came into contact, Yan Yunsheng clearly had the upper hand. He suppressed his opponent throughout the fight, and finally knocked the opponent's weapon down with the back of his knife, then saluted with a smile and clasped his fists.

"Accepted."

Although they were both of the seventh rank, there was a clear gap between them. The burly man was convinced and returned the gift with a sigh.

"Brother Yan has great skills."

After defeating one, the remaining inspectors were eager to try, unable to hold back any longer, and rushed onto the stage one after another.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao was observing the competition carefully, with light flickering in his dark pupils.

The inspectors of the eight market towns have different strengths, the worst is still stuck at the eighth rank, while the strongest has reached the high seventh rank and is capable of impacting the sixth rank!
The strongest among them was the burly man who first accepted the challenge - Dai Jinhong.

In fact, his physical strength was much stronger than Yan Yunsheng's, but unfortunately the skills he practiced were too ordinary, and he was hit by the extraordinary power of [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique] and [Taixu Soul Refining and True Resurrection Technique], and he was completely unable to fight back.

It was both a show of force and a test. Zhu Haomiao ended the competition only after Yan Yunsheng defeated eight inspectors from eight cities.

"Yun Sheng, tell them the rules for exchanging skills and the confidentiality clause."

"From now on, we will hold an internal competition every month, and those who excel will receive extra rewards."

Hanging a carrot on everyone's head, Zhu Haomiao threw all the trivial matters to Yan Yunsheng and stepped into the underground prison of Lechangfang alone.

The originally empty cell was now overcrowded. All the serious criminals and death row prisoners from the other eight markets were transferred here. Looking at these unruly and brutal faces, Zhu Haomiao smiled happily.

Just like a hard-working farmer seeing a field of lush green leeks, Zhu Haomiao opened his arms and murmured excitedly.

"I have something to say, please be quiet..."

"Fuck you! Come in here, little bastard, and suck my dick!"

Before he could finish his words, a man with a scar on his face jumped onto the railing and roared wildly at the boy, which immediately caused the entire underground prison to burst into laughter.

But the next second, the laughter seemed to be paused, and everyone looked at the hideous python shadow spreading out from behind the boy, their pupils trembling, and their bodies trembling stiffly as if frozen by the snow wind in the far north.

One, two, three... three lifelike pythons swayed and swayed, looking down at the death row prisoners hungrily like living creatures, their cold and sinister dark green vertical pupils filled with cruelty and murderous light.

An indescribable sense of terror and oppression enveloped the entire underground space. Zhu Haomiao slowly turned his head and looked at the scarred man who was stiff on the railing, his pupils contracted, and his whole body shaking violently, and a smile curled up the corners of his mouth.

"What did you say?"

Following the boy's actions, the three snake heads that were originally looking down in different directions slowly turned and stared down at the scarred face. Their excited and hungry dark green vertical pupils seemed to be looking at a fat little white mouse.

"I...I...I..."

Like a prey targeted by its natural enemy, Scarface instinctively wanted to beg for mercy, but he found that his muscles were as stiff as stone and he was unable to utter a single word.

"Tsk tsk, I still like your rebellious look just now, recover a little."

After saying this, Zhu Haomiao looked around at the other prisoners and smiled sincerely.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a monster."

"If you have any requests, just ask me, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Don't worry, I'm kindhearted. I won't get angry because of your excessive demands. At most, I'll impose a small punishment on you, such as... this!"

With a thought, a phantom of a python shot out and instantly sank into Scarface's chest.

“Aa ...

The shrill howls that did not sound like human voices echoed in the dungeon, frightening all the prisoners to death. The whole dungeon was suddenly filled with a strong fishy smell.

Zhu Haomiao frowned suddenly, looking like an eagle with a fierce look in his eyes.

"How dare you pee and poop in front of me? You clearly don't take me seriously!!"

"【Undying Grasp】!"

The remaining two pythons pounced on the two lucky spectators with joy. The wailing sounds echoed back and forth, and the dungeon was suddenly filled with the shrill trio of hell.

At the same time, a group of excited and enthusiastic inspectors were standing outside the prison with Yan Yunsheng, asking questions in a low voice.

"Brother Yan, can you really teach us the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique] and [Taixu Soul Refining True Art]? Without any special tests?"

Yan Yunsheng patiently answered the question that had made his ears calloused.

"No, the only thing your Excellency requires is merit and loyalty."

"We will swear allegiance to you till death!"

Everyone quickly expressed their loyalty and looked eagerly into the depths of the prison, waiting for the young man to come out and formally pledge their allegiance.

At this moment, a creepy roar came from deep underground. The despair and pain in the roar could be heard clearly through the thick layer of soil, and the inspectors felt cold in their backs.

"Brother Yan, this is..."

Dai Jinhong's hair stood on end and he couldn't help but ask tentatively.

It's not like he had never seen torture before, but the death row prisoners in each market were all cruel and hard-headed. Very few tortures could make them surrender, let alone make them scream so miserably and creepily.
