Chapter 293: The Prison Wardens Soul Dissolution Liquor (1/2)

”Sinners, state your names. If you have not served your sentence and dare to appear in front of the Prison Warden…”

”Hahaha! You'll know the consequences!”

Jiang Li and the others arrived before the bronze door and were about to break out and enter the underground palace.

A burly figure who was ten feet long, had a leopard head, round eyes, and tiger whiskers stood in front of them and spoke in a thunderous voice.

He was sitting behind a long table, wearing a red official uniform that did not suit his style. He held a wine jar in one hand and could not bear to part with it.

Seeing that someone was coming, the Prison Warden of Fengdu City came over and reluctantly picked up a vermilion wolf hair brush on the table and pretended to be working in front of a heavy book.

Jiang Li was not a person who judged a book by its cover, but just looking at him, being able to recognize more than ten common words was considered impressive.

”Quickly come forward! If you're disturbing me for nothing, don't blame me for using you to brew wine!”

The warden slapped the mud seal on the wine jar, then raised it and poured it into his mouth.

However, everyone clearly saw that several wailing faces appeared in the clear liquid.

It seemed that this warden really knew how to brew wine using humans.

Due to the fact that there was an evil ghost blocking the way in this dungeon, Old Ghost had never really come here. He had only obtained general information through some methods. He did not know the background of this Warden who had suddenly appeared.

His gaze turned, and he took a step back. His hand reached behind a cultivator beside him and pushed forward.

The cultivator took two steps forward, his expression immediately becoming furious and terrified.

He was furious because Old Ghost had betrayed him without a word, but he was terrified because after he was pushed out of the crowd, his figure was fixed on the spot by an unknown force.

”Oh, you first? Tell me your name, your birthplace, what crime did you commit? How long have you been in prison? Do you regret it?”

The warden casually tapped the pen in his hand on the table and stared at the cultivator below.

”My… My name is Li Yu. I didn't do anything wrong. It's others who are falsely accusing me. Warden, please investigate!”

This person's reaction was not slow. When he saw that he was unable to move, it was impossible for his so-called companions behind him to save him.

He followed the words of the warden and replied.

”Oh, you're innocent?”

The warden casually flipped through the booklet in his hand without any intention of searching according to the name.

This made Li Yu, who had been pushed out to probe the danger, heave a sigh of relief. The names of these outsiders clearly could not appear on the list.

”Yes, yes, yes! Lord, I'm innocent!”

The Prison Warden seemed to be as stupid as he looked. He nodded and believed the other party.

”Since you're innocent, I should let you go. How about this? Drink this bowl of wine and think of it as me sending you off.”

The warden took out a clay bowl from somewhere and poured a full bowl of transparent wine before pushing it in front of Li Yu.

The strong fragrance of wine spread out. Those who knew wine would know that this was a top-grade brew that was hard to come by in a hundred years.

Chen Yu's hands also relaxed and he recovered his mobility.

Looking at the ghost face churning in the bowl from time to time, Li Yu naturally did not want to drink it.

”This… Lord Warden, I can't handle alcohol, so I shouldn't waste your good wine.”

He tried to refuse, but the other party was clearly not so easy-going.

”How dare you not drink the wine that I poured? Hmph! Coward, I'll lock you up for another hundred years!”

If he did not drink it, he would suffer. Li Yu's expression turned bitter, but he recalled that the person in front of him had also drunk this kind of wine. This should not be a poisonous thing, right?

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and picked up the wine bowl.

”Lord, I'll drink. I'll drink.”

As he spoke, he tentatively took a small sip. However, as soon as his lips touched the bowl, the wine in the bowl seemed to come alive and instantly surged into his mouth.

The person immediately began to sway. More than ten completely different faces strangely appeared on his face. After a few breaths, he collapsed.

Then, more liquid flowed out from his seven orifices. In the liquid, there was a ghost face that was identical to his own.

When the warden saw this, he happily took out another jar and stored the liquid that flowed out.

”Your sins have yet to be cleansed, yet you still dare to drink my Soul Dissolution Liquor. You really don't know what death feels like. Hahaha, I am blessed to have a new drink.”

”Who's next? Come up quickly!”

It turned out that this burly and seemingly unintelligent Prison Warden also had his own methods.

He did not need to identify good and evil himself, nor did he care to check the booklet in his hand. He only had one criteria for judging.

Those who could drink the Soul Dissolution Liquor and remain fine were either good people or ghosts. Those who died after drinking the wine could be used to brew more wine for him.

At this moment, the cultivators standing at the side finally understood that if they wanted to pass through this warden, they had to drink the bowl of wine of unknown origin.

According to the warden, as long as he had sinned and his sin had not dissipated, the Soul Dissolution Liquor would be a terrifying poison that could melt souls.

Even Jiang Li did not dare to say that he had not done anything wrong since he started cultivating. What were the other rogue cultivators like?

Letting them drink this was no different from courting death.

They exchanged glances. With Old Ghost leading the way, they suddenly attacked. Ten spell rays shot towards the burly man in front of them.

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

It was as if someone had secretly farted here. The ten rays of light did not cause any effect and disappeared in the air.

Jiang Li knew that the reason for this situation was probably the Fengdu Prison they were in.

This was because his Yin Burial Coffin also had the effect of obliterating attacks.

The warden was not angry. He waved his hand and brought the ten people who attacked to the front of the table.

He casually placed ten more wine bowls on the table, indicating that they could start eating.

”Don't even think about escaping or snatching it. Today, each of you has a bowl of wine to drink.”

”What? You don't want to drink? You can get someone to replace you.”

The warden sneered. In his hands, not many could escape unscathed.

”Prison Warden, I enjoy fine wine myself. Why don't you give me a bowl too?”

At this moment, Jiang Li took the initiative to walk forward with a smile and asked the warden for the Soul Dissolution Liquor.

Jiang Li's actions surprised the other party. After being here for so many years, there were very few people who could drink the Soul Dissolution Liquor without collapsing, and there were even fewer who took the initiative to ask him for it.

However, he was merely surprised. It was the same for everyone as long as they drank the Soul Dissolution Liquor.

”What a pretentious kid.”

He had no reason to refuse. He took out another bowl and filled it for the sword cultivator clone.
