So he will be imprisoned in Blackrock Prison.
Not to prove myself, or to win Lin Yuan’s trust, but because those people locked up in prison also deserved a home.
Just that.
Black Rock Prison was even more terrifying than Lin Yuan had described.
David, Jiang Xuelan, and Bing Wuhen lay on their backs on a hill thirty miles away, looking up at the black rock mountain.
There were twice as many Protoss cultivators in the watchtower as there were on the map, and the number of patrol teams had increased from three to five.
Several other corpses lay on wooden posts outside the iron gate, their blood still wet and glistening dark red under the moonlight.
“Can not enter.”
Bing Wuhen said in a low voice, with some frustration, “The patrols are too dense, and there are restrictions everywhere. We will be discovered before we get close.”
David remained silent.
He stared at the prison, his mind racing.
A direct attack will not work; they only had three people, while the enemy had thousands of guards.
Infiltration is absolutely impossible; restrictions and patrols had been tightened, perhaps because the Shadow Soldiers had warned them.
That means there is only one option left.
“Let’s go straight there,” said David.
Bing Wuhen fell silent for a moment. “What?”
“Just walk straight there. Let them catch us.”
Bing Wuhen’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you crazy? That’s the prison of the gods. Once in, you’ll never get out.”
“We can go out.”
David interrupted him, his voice calm, “They don’t know who we are. My Chaos Power can hide our aura; in their eyes, we are just three cultivators at the second or third rank of the True Immortal Realm.”
Being arrested and locked up in a regular cell is actually easier than breaking in from the outside.
Jiang Xuelan looked at David, was silent for a moment, then nodded. “That makes sense. But what happens after we go inside?”
“First, find the imprisoned human cultivators and their leader. Then, breakthrough from within.”
Bing Wuhen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when his gaze met David’s calm gaze, he swallowed his words.
He gritted his teeth. “Okay. Besides, you saved my life, so I’ll go crazy with you just this once.”
The three stood up from the hill, no longer hiding their whereabouts, and swaggered towards Black Rock Prison.
The Protoss cultivators on the watchtower immediately saw them.
Golden light shone from the watchtower and shone on the three of them.
A shrill alarm sounded, the iron gate opened, and a group of divine cultivators rushed out and surrounded them.
“Stop! Who’s there? How dare you barge into Black Rock Prison?”
The leading divine cultivator was a rank six True God, with a cold and stern face, and his long sword was pointed at David’s throat.
His gaze swept across the three people, stopping for a moment on Jiang Xuelan’s face, but he quickly moved his gaze away.
David raised both hands, his face showing fear. “Master, we are wandering cultivators who are lost and don’t know where we are.”
“Lost?” The holy cultivator sneered. “Black Rock Prison is a forbidden zone within a hundred mile radius. How could you guys get lost and end up here? I think you guys are resistance spies!”
“No no sir, we are truly rogue cultivators”
“Enough of this nonsense!” The holy cultivator waved his hand. “Search him, arrest him! Lock him up in an ordinary cell, and send him to work in the mines tomorrow!”
Several god-level cultivators rushed over and searched their bodies roughly.
David had hidden his storage ring in a temporary space created by the power of chaos, so they didn’t discover anything.
Jiang Xuelan’s Ice God Sword was also hidden in the same place.
The same goes for Bing Wuhen’s ice sword.
The holy cultivators only found a few broken crystals and a few bottles of low-quality pills, which further convinced them that they were just some poor and rebellious cultivators.
“Bring it in!”
The three were pushed and dragged to Black Rock Prison.
The inside of Blackrock Prison looked even more sinister than the outside.
A long corridor stretched across the mountain, with prison cells on both sides, and sealing charms were affixed to the iron doors of the cells.
The corridor smelled of rot and blood; instruments of torture hung on the walls, and broken bones littered the floor.
Ordinary cells are located in the center of the prison and are used to hold prisoners with low moral character and less serious crimes.
The three were pushed into a large cell, which already contained more than a dozen other people, all of them human, dressed in rags, emaciated, and dead-eyed.
The iron gate closed, the chains rattling.
The footsteps of the holy cultivators slowly disappeared into the distance.
The people in the cell looked up at them, glanced at them, then lowered their heads again.
No one spoke, no one asked who they were or where they came from.
If you stay here too long, you will become like this: you will lose interest in everything and lose hope in everything.
