608 Patrolling the Nine Heavens (1)

When Kang Lixun returned from his patrol, he found him and said, “I want to go out for a walk.”

“Fellow Daoist Song, are you planning to harm those guys from the Heavenly Prison?”

The latter was having a headache over something, so Kang Lixun couldn’t help but complain.

“I’ve already familiarized myself with the Lightning Punishment Platform. I have to familiarize myself with the other places.”

Song Shi did not think that he was harming the fellow in the Heavenly Prison. He said, “Open up my authority. I want to accept some special missions.”

“Are you sure? Here, missions are difficult and easy. The most important thing is that the danger level is different. Guarding the Heavenly Prison is the safest, followed by patrolling, and capturing is even more dangerous. As for special missions…”

Kang Lixun frowned. “Most of the time, you have to give up your identity as an Immortal Official to do things. Sometimes, you can’t even find him even if you’re killed. I acknowledge your strength, but under unfamiliar circumstances, if you rashly do this, it’s easy for you to die without a corpse.”

“I know. That’s why I need your permission to do this.”

Song Shi smiled. He had specially studied the missions in the Primordial Chaos System and realized that the missions issued by the Immortal Court were all relatively special. It was obvious that they were relatively dangerous, but the rewards were very generous.

“I have to talk to Lord Su.”

Kang Lixun didn’t agree immediately.

“As soon as possible. If not, we can patrol outside to capture the demons and immortals who committed crimes.”

Song Shi did not make things difficult for Kang Lixun.

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

Kang Lixun took out his token and contacted Su Fu. After a moment, he said, “Lord Su suggests that you patrol first and accept special missions in three years.”

“Sure.”

Song Shi felt that three years would pass very quickly. It was fine to make a transition.

“In that case, I’ll arrange for you to patrol the west road and replace Li Dingtai to rest.”

Kang Lixun nodded. “This place is closest to the East Continent. It’s relatively stable.”

Song Shi was surprised. “You don’t have to help me consider my safety. My life-saving methods are more powerful.”

“I’m not specially taking care of you, but it’s the tradition of the Lightning Punishment Division. You have to give some preferential treatment to newbies. Even if you’re stronger than me, you still have to follow your habits.”

“You’ve made me have a better impression of the Lightning Punishment Division.”

Song Shi smiled. Although some immortals in the Lightning Punishment Division were more realistic, they were still humane.

“Not everyone is as powerful as you. If you don’t take care of them, newbies will die easily.”

Kang Lixun said a cruel truth, which also meant that even an Immortal Official’s life was in danger.

“When Old Li comes back, you guys can just connect.”

He took out his token and informed Li Dingtai.

Half a day later, Li Dingtai returned on a cloud and found Song Shi in surprise. “I heard that you want to go out to patrol and not let the old man follow you?”

“You don’t have to.”

Song Shi smiled. “Brother Li, do you think I’m too weak to be qualified?”

“Uh, more or less. You’re patrolling outside. It’s fine if nothing happens. If something happens, you have to fight some troublesome fellows personally. Sometimes, you even have to capture some big shots. It’s much more dangerous than here.”

Li Dingtai was very direct. This was also the characteristic of most Lightning Punishment Envoys. They did not like to beat around the bush.

“Take my punch.”

Song Shi did not beat around the bush. He clenched his fist and with a flash of chaotic light, he threw a punch.

BOOM!

With a loud bang, Li Dingtai was sent flying. He was beaten until he almost left Thunder Island before he could stabilize himself.

He tried to block, but his arms were numb from Song Shi’s attacks. He could not help but widen his eyes. “This guy is hiding his strength!”

He was a veteran Lightning Punishment Envoy and his strength was not bad. In the end, he still ended up like this. It was enough to show Song Shi’s ability.

“Li Dingtai, you should go and find out more about him.”

Kang Lixun’s voice sounded in his ear. “Don’t worry that he won’t be able to do it. Exchange with him.”

Li Dingtai’s expression changed for a moment before he returned to Song Shi in a flash. He cupped his fists and said, “I was wrong. Brother Song, you have a deep foundation and are very strong. I’ll leave the patrolling of the west road to you.”

“Thanks for letting me win.”

Song Shi and Li Dingtai swapped places and immediately packed up. They rode the Life Dissipation Gourd and swaggered away.

After he left, Kang Lixun appeared at the edge of Thunder Island and looked in the direction where Song Shi had left. “You can’t help but go out after staying for ten years and you’re still so ostentatious. I don’t think Treasure Light will give up this opportunity.”

His expression was complicated. He hated Song Shi for beating him up in front of everyone, but his rationality also told him that Song Shi had hit him right. Who asked him to be a dog for others?

“In this Immortal Court, if I don’t have talent and become a dog, could it be that I’ll always stay at the bottom like Wang Dong? I’m not wrong.”

Kang Lixun’s eyes regained their indifference. He turned around and disappeared.

He did not do anything, nor did he need him to do anything. As a dog, he knew that Treasure Light would not let Song Shi off. As a member of the Immortal Court, he had to avoid touching the red line of betraying others. Otherwise, if he was discovered, it would violate the rules of the heavens. It would be very troublesome and even Treasure Light would not be able to protect him.

Song Shi sat on the calabash and sang as he headed west. The Lightning Punishment Envoy’s patrol was actually on standby in an area. Once he needed anything, the higher-ups would directly order him to take action.

Usually, when there was nothing to do, he could wander within 30 million kilometers of the west. His range of activity was more than 100,000 times larger than in the Heavenly Prison.

Along the way, white clouds floated leisurely. Song Shi roamed the nine heavens leisurely.

This place was more than 50,000 kilometers away from the ground. It was filled with strong astral winds and lightning fire. Even Mahayana cultivators found it difficult to stay here. Other than him, there were no other living creatures for most of the day.

Through the astral winds and white clouds, there was a sea below. Occasionally, one could see many sea beasts fighting. Islands were scattered everywhere. Some of them were immortal islands with rich immortal energy, while others were filled with demonic energy.

Song Shi was overjoyed. The scenery outside was indeed much more interesting than the Heavenly Prison.

“I wonder who will snatch my Great Dao Weapon. I’m so looking forward to it.”

He patted the gourd and looked at the island on the way with a sharp gaze. He considered finding a place to put Bai Xiaoqin and the others down.

In his senses, the living beings below were basically all cultivators. There were still very few who had attained the Dao and become immortals and gods. As for Bai Xiaoqin and the others, their cultivation levels were so high that they were almost at the Fusion realm. They were enough to survive here.

After flying for millions of kilometers in the Nine Heavens Astral Layer, Song Shi’s gaze landed on an island.

According to a rough estimation of the ratio, this island spanned more than a million kilometers. It was considered a continent in the lower realm. It was mainly made up of humans and was quite suitable for Bai Xiaoqin and the others.

“Let’s do it here. It’s quite close to Thunder Island.”

Just as Song Shi was about to choose this large island to settle his family, the token on his waist suddenly vibrated and a message was transmitted.

“Emergency order: Gather the nearest Lightning Punishment Envoys and assist them in killing a Heavenly God-level evil dragon.”

Song Shi was surprised. “It’s actually a direct kill. What did this guy do to incur the wrath of the heavens?”

He had been here for ten years and knew that the four guys locked up in the Heavenly Prison who ate millions of people did not deserve to die.

This was because according to the Heavenly Law, once one became an Immortal God, they would have a certain immunity. In other words, it was fine to kill a certain number of living beings, but if they killed too many, they would violate the Heavenly Law.
