Chapter 149 Father! I've finally found you!
Chapter 149 Father! I've finally found you!
He has now discovered another of Cheng Shifei's strengths: when an opportunity arises, he will do everything in his power to seize it.
"What if there's something right now that requires you to take a huge risk to do for me?"
Dan Tianxie remained calm and asked indifferently.
From this moment on, Shan Tianxie's thoughts underwent a subtle change. If before he only wanted to get in touch with the invincible Gu Santong through Cheng Shifei,
At this moment, he did indeed have some thoughts of taking Cheng Shifei under his wing.
Thinking about it carefully, apart from the Five Wanderers of Bliss, who are the only true subordinates I have now?
With Xi Yu, Xia Xueyi, Yue Buqun, and if we add Gu Santong and Cheng Shifei, the new force can begin to take shape.
There was a grandmaster in charge, plus three chosen ones and Yue Laoliu.
While it may not be comparable to the current power of the Bliss Valley, it is still a force to be reckoned with.
A glint of light flashed in Cheng Shifei's eyes, and he said firmly, "I'd go through fire and water for you!"
"Alright!" Shan Tianxie nodded. "Since that's the case, I'll give you a choice."
........
The next day, early in the morning.
The Great Heavenly Prison was located in a remote area, and there was not a single human being to be seen within a radius of several miles.
Firstly, it was the most terrifying prison in the Ming Dynasty; the Heavenly Prison was always used to imprison only the most vicious and ruthless bandits.
Every suspect inside is a master with at least a beginner level; anyone below that level wouldn't even qualify to enter the Heavenly Prison.
In addition, these people must also meet the condition of committing numerous bloody crimes in the martial arts world before they will be arrested by the East and West Depots and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
Such a lawless group of people naturally cannot be too close to the imperial city.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong and this group of people rushes out, there won't even be a buffer period.
Secondly, the construction method of the Heavenly Prison is completely different from that of ordinary prisons; it is built entirely from the ground down.
It is shaped like an inverted triangle, so it can only choose places with sparse population.
The prison is divided into nine levels from top to bottom, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous the criminals are.
Normally, the prison is jointly guarded by the East and West Factories.
Dan Tianxie glanced at the Heavenly Prison before him and couldn't help but sigh. In a way, the Heavenly Prison had also made the Valley of Bliss what it was.
In the early days of the Bliss Valley, many heretical masters did indeed choose to join the valley to escape imprisonment in the Heavenly Prison.
As soon as Shan Tianxie approached the gate of the prison, he sensed that within a few miles, countless experts from the East and West Factories were hidden in the shadows, demonstrating the tight security.
Several of them clearly possessed the aura of martial arts masters who had grasped the essence of the art!
As for whether there are any grandmaster-level experts guarding the Heavenly Prison, he cannot detect any experts of that level with his current perception.
Before Shan Tianxie could get close, a red figure blocked their way.
"Imperial prison, halting all entry!"
Looking around, Shan Tianxie saw that the newcomer was wearing a bright red robe with an indescribably seductive aura. If he was not mistaken, this person should also be a chicken-free worker.
Without further ado, Shan Tianxie directly presented Eunuch Cao's token, "By order of Supervisor Cao, I am to proceed to the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison on official business!"
After confirming the token was correct, the man in red said in a low voice, "Since it is Chief Supervisor Cao's order, I naturally dare not say anything more. However, the Heavenly Prison is heavily guarded, so please follow me, young master."
Dan Tianxie nodded. Having an insider to guide them was naturally the best thing ever.
With the man in red guiding them, the group traveled smoothly without any obstacles.
The group walked slowly down the dark and damp prison corridors, heading deeper into the underground.
Despite having the man in red, an insider, as their guide, the group still went through several interrogations and passed eight checkpoints before finally arriving at the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison has held very few prisoners, but those imprisoned there are all unparalleled heroes and peerless masters in the martial arts world.
Even the prison doors were specially made of solid pure steel, powerful enough to withstand the true energy bombardment of a grandmaster-level expert. After all, when it comes to artistic conception, materials don't matter.
As long as one hasn't reached the level of a celestial being who can wield the power of heaven and earth, everything must still be governed by physics.
"Open the cell door."
With a command from the man in red.
Click, click, click!
The accompanying prison guards nervously raised the steel door of the ninth level of the prison.
After all, the big shot here is not someone to be trifled with. Many of my colleagues were sucked in without realizing it and died on the spot.
Seeing that the prison doors had already been raised, Shan Tianxie immediately pulled Cheng Shifei inside.
Just yesterday, he told him Cheng Shifei's background in detail.
Tap tap tap, the crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the dark cell.
"Ok?"
At the far end of the cell, on a stone bed covered with thatch, sat a disheveled old man.
His long, gray hair was loosely draped over his shoulders, and his limbs were bound by extremely thick iron chains.
Suddenly, a sound came from the cell door, and the old man abruptly raised his bowed head.
Swish!
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and the dimly lit cell was suddenly illuminated as if electricity had been generated in the void, which showed that his cultivation level was so high that it was not much different from that of the Iron-Blooded Marquis.
"Hahahaha! Eight years! A full eight years! That old pig has finally sent in another expert?"
"How can someone so young not even be a martial arts grandmaster this time? How dare this old pig look down on me?! How despicable!"
A loud, booming sound, like a great bell, resounded, and the surrounding dust was stirred up by the powerful sound waves, then drifted down.
Dan Tianxie didn't care about any of this, and took the opportunity to give a signal with his eyes. Cheng Shifei next to him immediately understood.
He knelt down with a thud, then kowtowed heavily, the whole sequence of movements flowing smoothly.
"Father! I've finally found you!"
"Uh-huh!"
Gu Santong's body jolted violently, and in his shock, the four thick iron chains binding him rattled loudly.
What's going on here? I was just saying I'd have a little treat with these kids, and now people in the martial arts world resort to this kind of tactic to beg for mercy?
Then, as if he had thought of something, Gu Santong frowned slightly, instantly activated the Absorption Technique, and unleashed endless suction power from his palm.
In an instant, Cheng Shifei was drawn closer and examined closely.
At this moment, Shan Tianxie walked with great interest past the iron plaque engraved with the four characters "Iron-Blooded Marquis" and faced Gu Santong, who was known as the "Number One Demon King in the World".
In the dimly lit cell, several skeletons lay discarded in a corner, which appeared to be the remains of masters from the eight major sects in the original story.
Speaking of which, Zhu Wushi is really bold. He dares to use Wudang masters? Isn't he afraid that Master Zhang will come and talk to him in the middle of the night?
