Chapter 475 - 476: Golden Qi Furnace
Each time an execution of a prisoner takes place, the tally of living creatures killed for his own count increases. Following that, he would see a splash of red from a blood bead slip in from outside the door and into his own body. Such a process is invisible to anyone but himself, even when everyone else here is a high-level NPC.
Chu You discovered an odd fact; even when the executions were carried out under his orders, the System still counted it as his kills. It was as if he’d found a shortcut, lit up like a ’Stellar Highway.’ The task of killing living creatures he was assigned required the lives of 100,000 NPCs. If it was directed at the Yan Kingdom, it would be a disaster!
Even if it was applied to other states among the Huaxia Six Nations, apart from how time-consuming it would be, the killing process could still pose a risk.
So, when he heard about the substantial number of NPC prisoners at the Eastern Fortress, he became intrigued.
"Jian Ning, we are 22 prisoners short. Bring in 50 more from the POW camp. Strip them of their clothes, just like these men." When he found the prisoner count decreasing, he casually instructed Jian Ning by his side.
Jian Ning eyed him curiously, in secret. Perhaps to him, despite his weak cultivation, Chu You seemed to harbor a strong homicidal intent, as if loathing the captives from the East down to his bones.
Jian Ning felt a shiver down his spine as he vaguely suspected that the young lord standing before him intended to execute every last prisoner.
"As you command!" After making a fist salute, Jian Ning turned and headed out through the gate.
"By the way, call the Quartermaster from the POW camp over."
"Yes, sir!"
While things were proceeding as such, a guard suddenly called out from outside the gate. "Commander, sir!"
