"Better dead than alive? That terrifying?"
Ling Chen exclaimed in shock.
"Exactly."
Zhang Yan smiled, "For us Cultivators, death is merely a swift slice of the blade. However, ever since all the death row inmates were handed over to our Ghost Palace for disposal, every single one of them would rather face death than spend an extra moment there."
Ling Chen felt a tremor in his heart; he basically understood what Zhang Yan meant.
Could it be that King You amended the law for the sake of the Ghost Guards?
That way, the unique physiques of some Cultivators could be stripped away to create more Ghost Guards!
Hearing now that these criminals would rather die than stay longer shows the sheer brutality of stripping away their special physiques.
And, his father endured such agony.
"What exactly is done to these death row inmates?"
Ling Chen asked further.
Zhang Yan shook his head, "That's a secret of our Ghost Guard, and it's inconvenient to disclose."
Ling Chen nodded.
