Chapter 926: Heavenly Prison!
.....
After half an hour or so, the Jinyiwei’s carriage finally reached the Heavenly Prison.
After Tang Li Xue got out of the carriage, she already felt a gloomy and evil vibe radiating from the Heavenly Prison building which looked like a fortified shelter covered with thick walls everywhere.
The entire Heavenly Prison building was also covered by many layers of ominous-looking formations.
There were many Jinyiwei guards patrolling inside and outside the Heavenly Prison building, but even without people guarding it, the people imprisoned inside it surely could not escape from there easily with all of those sealing formations.
Tang Li Xue was escorted by Jinyiwei’s guards into the Heavenly Prison building, and she was only imprisoned on the first floor.
The environment inside Heavenly Prison was dark, bleak, and stuffy.
Tang Li Xue’s prison might be clean but the air was smelly and damp. The space inside the prison was also quite narrow, maybe around 4x4 meters with the toilet at the corner of the room.
Tang Li Xue did not bother to complain.
She sat on the wooden bed while silently looking around to check every corner of her prison.
The only fortunate thing was that she was imprisoned on the first floor of the Heavenly Prison, not underground, so there was a small window covered with iron bars on the wall.
Even though it was impossible for her to escape through that small window, but at least, the sunlight could still enter her prison through that small window.
Tang Li Xue squinted her topaz blue eyes when she saw the small window, and she immediately thought: ’I wonder if I can escape from this place using [Shadow Flash] from that window?’
Just when Tang Li Xue stood up from the wooden bed and tried to check the scenery outside the small window, someone suddenly shouted at her: "Eh, look what we have here?! There is actually a new guy, and it is such a cute fox girl, hehehehe..."
Tang Li Xue turned her head around vigilantly and discovered that it was actually a few inmates from the cells across from hers.
There were thick walls on the right and left sides of her cell, so Tang Li Xue could not see the inmates who lived beside her cells, but she could see the inmates across her cell because there were only iron bars that covered the front of her cell.
However, Tang Li Xue did not have any intention to strike any conversation with those people, so she simply ignored their jeers.
Those inmates clicked their tongues displeasantly after Tang Li Xue completely ignored all of their teasings, then they said in a gloating tone: "Hey, I really want to see if you can still remain indifferent after you see that ’thing’ tonight, hehehe..."
The other inmate laughed evilly while kept staring lewdly at Tang Li Xue’s slender figure through the gaps of the iron bars: "Oh, that is true~! The girly scream from such a stunning fox girl should be very nice to our ears like a fairy singing, hahaha!"
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply when she heard their words, but despite her curiosity, she really did not want to strike up any conversation with these criminals, so she simply sat cross-legged on her wooden bed and closed her topaz blue eyes, then began to secretly practice [Void Divinities Refining Method] to refine the destructive space energy in her body.
Tang Li Xue raised her guard to the maximum in order to face whatever the ’thing’ that would come tonight.
.....
Meanwhile, Jinyiwei guards who had arrested Tang Li Xue and escorted her into the prison just now asked their captain in confusion: "Captain Li, why do we need to arrest such a young and innocent-looking girl, then even imprison her in this place? She does not look like a heinous person, right?"
Jinyiwei’s captain shrugged his shoulder instead and replied while pointing above: "How was I supposed to know what kind of mistake that girl made?! It was all the order from above!"
Jinyiwei’s captain sighed helplessly. He actually knew that Tang Li Xue might not do anything wrong. It should be his superior who abuses his authority to do something dirty toward the people from the Third Prince’s side, but there is nothing he can do to oppose it.
Actually, that was not exactly true...
The one who gave the order to arrest Tang Li Xue was the vice-deputy commander of Jinyiwei who worked for the Lu Aristocrat Family.
Lu Aristocrat Family should be on the same side as the First Prince and Third Prince, so they probably did it for Lu Yixin and in order to warn the Third Prince.
"All right, let’s stop thinking about that for now! Remember that Blood God Cult’s Holy Son will be transferred here today! Tighten the security, raise your guards to maximum, and be more cautious! If we make any slip and give even the slightest chance for those crazy people from Blood God Cult to do something, our heads will definitely fall later!" Jinyiwei’s captain warned in a stern tone.
Jinyiwei guards immediately shut up after they heard their captain’s warning, and they quickly spread up to do their own tasks.
.....
A few hours later, another carriage came toward Heavenly Prison.
The number of Jinyiwei guards who escorted this carriage were even several times compared to the guards that escorted Tang Li Xue’s carriage earlier.
After the carriage reached right in front of Heavenly Prison’s gate, the Jinyiwei’s commander immediately pulled the Blood God Cult’s Holy Son out from the carriage.
Different from Tang Li Xue, the hands and feet of this Blood God Cult’s Holy Son were shackled by thick chains that not only restricted his movement but also his cultivation.
Despite his embarrassing appearance with tattered clothes and messy hair, the Blood God Cult’s Holy Son did not look fearful or feel guilty at all.
He laughed crazily instead and shouted in a mocking tone: "Hahahaha, do you really think you can lock me up in this shabby place?! I will definitely be able to get away from this shabby place soon, and at that time, I will make sure you all will pay for this!" Experience tales at .com.Côm
The Jinyiwei’s commander angrily slapped the head of Blood God Cult’s Holy Son until he almost fell down embarrassedly while shouting at him: "Shut up! I know what you are thinking very clearly! You must think that your people will come to save you soon, right?"
Then Jinyiwei’s commander grabbed the Blood God Cult’s Holy Son and whispered at him in a cold tone: "But I have to say sorry to you first because all of them will only be throwing their lives if they dare to come here. I will make sure every last one of them not be able to leave this Capital City alive!"
Jinyiwei’s commander pushed the Blood God Cult’s Holy Son toward his subordinates and ordered: "Lock him on the first floor first for today. We will unlock the sealing formations and imprison him on the lower floor tomorrow."
Heavenly Prison has nine floors in total, and the lower the floor the denser the number of sealing formations.
For example, there might be only three layers of sealing formation on the first floor, then there might be ten layers of sealing formation on the second floor, and the number of sealing formations would keep increasing as the floor goes down.
It took time to open those sealing formations while currently, the sky had already turned dark.
The risk was too high if they tried to open those sealing formations at night in order to imprison the Blood God Cult’s Holy Son on the deeper floor.
Not to mention that the people from Jinyiwei already estimated that the Blood God Cult’s people would probably make their move tonight to save their Holy Son from this Heavenly Prison.
It seems like it was destined that tonight would be a sleepless night for everyone in Heavenly Prison.
The Jinyiwei guards forcefully dragged the Blood God Cult’s Holy Son into the Heavenly Prison.
When they passed in front of Tang Li Xue’s cell, Tang Li Xue hastily ended her practice and looked at them instead.
The long red hair of the Blood God Cult’s Holy Son was so eyecatching that Tang Li Xue took a look at him curiously for a few moments longer.
The Blood God Cult’s Holy Son also looked back at her until their eyes met with each other. He was instantly stunned by her charming look for a few moments before he smiled back and winked at her playfully instead.
Tang Li Xue did not feel anything dangerous from the Blood God Cult’s Holy Son since his cultivation was sealed, but she could still faintly sense the sinister aura looming at the Holy Son’s body, and it made her instinctively loathe him.
Clang~!
Tang Li Xue heard the sound of the iron door closing nearby, so she could easily guess that the long red-haired man should be imprisoned beside her cell.
Tang Li Xue did not think too much about the long red-haired man since her mind was still focused on what the other inmates had talked about before.
’Can you still remain indifferent after you see that ’thing’ tonight?’
She was really curious about what kind of ’thing’ would appear in this place tonight!
Tang Li Xue did not continue to practice, but she still sat cross-legged quietly on her wooden bed.
PUFF~!
As the night came, all of the torches suddenly went out, and the entire prison went completely dark.
Of course, it was only inside the prison that was completely dark. The outside of the Heavenly Prison was still bright with many guards patrolling with torches.
