Chapter 310: Inside the Sky Prison
The two armored guards at the door all looked stunned for an instant.
What followed was deep horror.
Although they rarely leave this place on weekdays, the controversy over the Qianlong List was so popular some time ago that everyone focused their attention on it. How could they not know who Ye Chen was?
Ye Chen, a young swordsman from the land of hundreds of countries, won the first place as a challenger in the competition.
Faced with the provocation from the three mountains and five ridges, Ye Chen took action and killed the deputy leader of the Shenwu Sect!
It can be said that it shocked the entire Beizhou.
Even the emperor praised him greatly.
"Haha, it turns out to be little friend Ye Chen."
A hearty laugh rang out, and then a kind-faced middle-aged man walked out not far away.
There was a smile on his lips, "Who knows who is at the top of the Hidden Dragon List? According to common sense, if little friend Ye Chen wants to pick someone up from the sky prison, he doesn't even need a token. He just needs Just one sentence will do..."
"What if we don't follow common sense?"
Ye Chen's face was expressionless. The middle-aged man seemed to be smiling, but in fact he was very scheming and deep-tempered.
I have made it very clear before.
He didn't agree to his request as soon as he came up.
This shows that he is not willing to give himself the face to let Yu Luo go.
"It's a pity that Yu Luo, as the deputy general of the bodyguard, dared to enter the palace and steal treasures. He made a heinous mistake. Besides, he was captured by the eldest prince himself. Naturally, he couldn't let little friend Ye Chen catch him so easily. Take them away."
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, "Of course, for the sake of the Seventh Prince's token, it is not impossible to let Yu Luo go. Let him hand over the stolen treasures, and then he can be exempted from all sins."
"You're talking nonsense, I know my brother, he would never steal anything!"
Yu Xi gritted her teeth, her head and eyes filled with hatred.
"What do you want him to hand over?"
Ye Chen asked calmly. At this point, he could almost guess what the other person was thinking.
It should be that Yu Luo accidentally obtained a treasure during a certain trial, and this treasure also aroused the covetousness of the eldest prince, so he wanted to take it by force.
If Yu Luo didn't hand it over, what would happen next would happen.
This behavior is really overbearing!
"A ball of strange fire, holy grade strange fire."
A sharp look flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "Yu Luo is not an alchemist, and our Yu family doesn't have an alchemist. Even if we steal this strange fire, what's the use? It's better to hand it over quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble." Get punished yourself!"
"Perhaps you can go in and persuade him."
The middle-aged man chuckled, "If he corrects his mistake after realizing it, he can leave the prison today. But if he persists in his stubbornness and refuses to admit it, there is only one way waiting for him."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the prison door opened with a sound.
"Xiao Yuan'er, wait for Master outside."
Ye Chen reached out and rubbed Xiao Yuan'er's head and said softly.
"Um."
Xiao Yuan'er nodded heavily.
Ye Chen didn't trust this middle-aged man. There were too many things hidden under his smile.
Leaving the little Yuan'er outside was just a precaution.
If there was any formation inside the prison, with Xiao Yuan'er's strength, he would definitely be able to overwhelm everything outside.
Ye Chen and Yu Xi walked into the prison together. As soon as they entered the door, a feeling of eerie silence hit their faces.
"It's so cold..."
Yu Xi hugged her shoulders and looked helpless.
Ye Chen stretched out his hand and injected a spiritual energy into Yu Xi's body, helping her resist the cold.
"Mr. Ye, thank you."
Yu Xi lowered her voice like a mosquito or a fly.
In the cages on both sides, there were many dying cultivators imprisoned. They were restrained by various chains and shackles. Every time they struggled, needle-like light erupted from above and pierced into their bodies.
Every resistance would bring a sting that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Over time, they also lost all fighting spirit and lay inside like zombies.
There was a foul stench everywhere.
The painful moans that came out from time to time made people feel panicked.
Yu Xi was obviously not used to such an environment. She involuntarily moved closer to Ye Chen, reached out and pinched the corner of his clothes, and squeezed tightly, as if this was the only way to find a sense of security.
Ye Chen's spiritual consciousness scanned the sky prison and found that he could only explore about ten meters. There should be a formation engraved in it.
These cultivators, without exception, are all in the holy realm.
Only masters in the holy realm are qualified to be imprisoned in the heavenly prison!
Walk forward for a while and you will find the water prison.
The water prison is even more cruel than the outside.
The prisoner was chained and immersed in the water, with only his head exposed.
This water is filthy and turbid.
Moreover, this is not ordinary water, but a carefully prepared elixir.
Being soaked in it all the time will make your whole body weak and unable to bring up any spiritual energy.
"Still... still want to move forward?"
Yu Xi's beautiful eyes contracted violently.
Along the way, the further inside we go, the more miserable the situation becomes.
After passing through the ordinary cage, the chain cage, and the water prison, he still hadn't reached the place where his brother was imprisoned.
Is it possible...
Yu Xi's heart was gradually covered with fear.
She bit her lip so hard that her lips turned pale.
The guard leading the way walked steadily and had an expressionless face.
Ye Chen's brows also frowned deeply.
All the prisoners held in this water prison have died three times or more.
The eldest prince tortured Yu Luo in this way in order to fight for that strange fire...
As a result, Ye Chen felt a little more disgusted with the eldest prince whom he had never met.
"We're here."
The guard in front spoke calmly.
The two paused and looked forward.
They had already passed the water prison. This was a stone prison, and they could only look inside through the window above.
A tall young man was nailed to the wall with four steel nails as thick as fingers, two nails on his left and right wrists, and the other two nails on his ankles. He was in a "big" shape, with his head down and a low breath.
His clothes were tattered and his skin was covered with whip marks.
Blood was dripping, and some wounds had begun to rot, deep enough to see the bones.
A fierce look suddenly flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
On the four steel nails, a miniature rune formation was engraved, which was piercingly painful at all times, torturing Yu Luo's body. His spiritual energy was dissipated, and he couldn't even struggle.
It was really too miserable!
"Brother..."
When Yu Xi saw this scene, his body softened and he fell to the ground.
Tears, like a broken dam, poured out.
Like beads that had broken off the string, they fell down.
My heart was completely torn.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you couldn't even imagine that there would be such torture!
"Sister?"
Yu Luo seemed to have heard Yu Xi's voice, and he tried to raise his head and open his eyes.
