Wu Shattered Star River

After the little commander released that streak of light, something magical happened. The space within the light罩 (light shield/barrier) fluctuated violently, and then the people inside suddenly shrank, becoming the size of fists. The two of them then collided rapidly, beginning a brutal fight.

Jiang Han watched in amazement. He previously had a divine ability called the River of Time and Space, and those swept into it would similarly shrink. This divine formation seems to have a similar effect, capable of altering the laws of space.

The battle was intense. Immortal Lord Wu Yun wielded a trident, while Tao Xi held a huge club. This club looked like the bone of some powerful immortal beast, and the void would tremble with each swing.

Both were peak Immortal Lords, and their combat power seemed evenly matched. Immortal Lord Wu Yun released many immortal techniques, and Tao Xi also released many immortal techniques. The space inside continuously vibrated and was constantly torn apart, emitting terrifying auras.

However, because the two inside had shrunk, those outside watching the battle felt like they were watching a play. Many warriors watched with great interest, and thousands more roared, cheering for both sides.

Immortal Lord Wu Yun had just arrived and didn't know anyone. Those cheering for him were obviously the ones who had bet on him to win. Of course, Immortal Lord Wu Yun was ranked twenty-fifth on the Hidden Dragon List, and there were still quite a few people who recognized his worth, otherwise they wouldn't have bet on him to win.

“Aww~”

After fighting for half an hour, Tao Xi felt like he couldn't win against Immortal Lord Wu Yun and transformed back into his true form. His true form was a giant gluttonous beast, and although it still looked small from the outside, it was dozens of times larger than Immortal Lord Wu Yun.

“Steady!”

Seeing Immortal Lord Wu Yun block Tao Xi's first few waves of attacks, Yu Xi nodded slightly and said, "Tao Xi has released his ultimate move, but Immortal Lord Wu Yun hasn't released his yet. There's not much suspense in this battle."

Jiang Han saw that although Immortal Lord Wu Yun was injured, his expression was calm. He was relieved and turned to transmit a message, "Madam, if you use your heavy treasure, can you defeat Big Brother Wu?"

Yu Xi smiled and transmitted back, "If I only use the Three-Colored Mountain, I can't defeat Immortal Lord Wu Yun, but if I use another secret treasure, I should be able to suppress him."

“Awesome!”

Jiang Han gave a thumbs up, but Yu Xi said with a wry smile, "The old man gave me a secret treasure before I set off. It's all thanks to my family. Without the treasure, Immortal Lord Wu Yun could kill me with a single halberd strike."

“Boom boom boom!”

The battle inside was nearing its end. Immortal Lord Wu Yun released his ultimate move, piercing several large holes in Tao Xi's massive body. Tao Xi was already seriously injured.

“I concede!”

Tao Xi roared in a deep voice. The little commander outside immediately shouted, “Immortal Lord Wu Yun, stop!”

Immortal Lord Wu Yun inside sighed slightly. He really wanted to kill Tao Xi, but Tao Xi's physical body was too strong, and it was difficult to kill him directly with one move.

The little commander released a streak of light, the space inside returned to normal, and then the divine formation was closed.

“Waste!”

“You've disgraced the Gluttonous Beast race!”

“Heh, you actually have the face to concede? Why not fight to the death?”

Voices of discussion came from all directions. Tao Xi transformed back into his human form, covered in blood and with several bloody holes. Hearing the scolding from all around, he glared at them, and the surrounding voices immediately quieted down a lot.

“咻!” (sound of rushing wind)

Tao Xi flashed and returned to the barracks. Immortal Lord Wu Yun swallowed a few healing pills and walked over. The two Immortal Lords who had been standing behind Tao Xi immediately followed.

“Immortal Lord Wu Yun is amazing. You're the boss of our barracks from now on!”

“That's right, whatever Boss Wu says goes. We'll all listen to you!”

The two Immortal Lords were very good at reading the wind and constantly flattered Immortal Lord Wu Yun. Jiang Han was a little speechless and also a little surprised. These two Immortal Lords were at least strong, right? Didn't they have any pride as experts?

“Hehe!”

Yu Xi smiled and transmitted, "When carrying out missions, we always move out by barracks. Wu Yun is stronger than Tao Xi, and I'm also a peak Immortal Lord. You have Dustless Stone on you, and they can't sense your realm. Naturally, they want to switch to our side, otherwise, what if we kill them when carrying out missions? Moreover, the probability of surviving by following us is higher."

“Mm!”

Jiang Han understood. Although he looked down on these two spineless people, it was better than them always standing on Tao Xi's side. Being lackeys wasn't bad either.

Immortal Lord Wu Yun didn't speak, but nodded expressionlessly, accepting the two Immortal Lords. Immortal Lord Wu Yun led the group towards the barracks. Seeing Tao Xi healing inside, still bleeding, and the barracks filled with a bloody smell, he frowned and took out formation stones to set up a formation.

He set up a very simple divine formation, dividing the barracks into three areas. The three of them occupied a part of the area, the other four occupied the second area, and Tao Xi was left with a small space alone.

“It's much more comfortable this way!”

Yu Xi nodded with satisfaction. Although she wasn't holding her breath, she couldn't hold it forever, right? The smell on Tao Xi was really too unpleasant.

“Young Master, Madam, please sit. I'll go inquire about some information.”

Immortal Lord Wu Yun's injuries hadn't recovered yet, but he walked outside to ask the two Immortal Lords about the situation in the Detainment Camp.

Half an hour later, Immortal Lord Wu Yun returned. He activated the divine formation and said, "The Detainment Camp has a merit system. Missions are issued every six months. Completing missions earns merit, and failing missions deducts merit. The starting merit is 10,000 points. You will be punished for every thousand points less. The less merit you have, the heavier the punishment. If it's deducted to zero, you'll be sent to the Vanguard Camp. The minimum merit for a general mission is 100 points, which means that if we fail 100 missions, we'll be transferred to the Vanguard Camp."

Jiang Han and Yu Xi were stunned and asked, "Can merit be bought and sold privately? Or can it be manipulated in secret?"

If it could be bought and sold, it would be much simpler. There were hundreds of thousands of prisoners in this Detainment Camp, and it would be easy to buy merit. Each time, they could pretend to go out on a mission, fail, and then come back and buy some merit.

Even if it couldn't be bought and sold, if they could bribe the officials of the Detainment Camp, their days in the Detainment Camp would be much easier.

Immortal Lord Wu Yun shook his head and said, "The merit value is supervised by people sent by the Big Dipper Star Lord. The Detainment Camp cannot interfere."

Jiang Han asked, "Are the missions difficult? What are the general missions?"

Immortal Lord Wu Yun said, "It depends on luck, sometimes difficult, sometimes not. The missions include collecting immortal herbs, immortal materials, immortal crystals, or patrolling, scouting, clearing out nearby gods, demons, immortal beasts, etc."

Jiang Han asked again, "If we can always complete missions, will the merit accumulate? What are the benefits of having more merit?"

“There are benefits to having more merit!”

Immortal Lord Wu Yun explained, "With more merit, you can live in better houses, enjoy better treatment, and even keep a few immortal slaves. Secondly, merit can be exchanged for resources. As long as you have enough merit, you can exchange for any resource. Most importantly… you can use merit to exchange for the right to choose missions first!”

“It seems we need to complete more missions and get more merit!”

Jiang Han and Yu Xi exchanged glances and said, "The more merit we have, the more comfortable we can live in this Detainment Camp!"
