C265 Conspiracy (1/2)

In the dark dungeon, the eyes of a few prisoners were filled with dread as they looked at Han Chen who was meditating.

A Golden Cicada shedding its shell, causing everyone to be filled with deep shock. The person who was carried out in the morning was naturally the fierce man who was killed by Han Chen yesterday.

After that, Han Chen took off his clothes and used his mental power to transform into a long whip. Finally, with the cooperation of a few prisoners, this event was completed.

Originally, the few of them did not dare to help Han Chen deceive the soldiers.

”Hu!” Han Chen heaved a sigh of relief and opened his eyes, revealing a look of helplessness. ”As expected, this Origin Sealing Pill is really powerful. I've tried for a long time, but I've been unable to use any Origin Energy.”

Without using any Martial Spirit Stones, Han Chen could not escape with just his initial stage Psionic Magician. Even if they managed to escape, they would not be a match for the morphogenesis Xu Lao.

Han Chen paused for a moment, his gaze swept across the surroundings, and realised that a few people were staring at him. He could not help but open his mouth and say, ”Everyone, there's no harm in saying what you have to say.”

Everyone looked at each other. Yesterday, the middle-aged man who had been beaten up had walked over and asked nervously, ”My Lord, do you really have a way to bring us away?”

”Not yet.” Han Chen answered honestly, ”But I, Han Chen, will keep my word. As long as I can leave, I won't leave you behind.”

Han Chen's gaze was sincere, without the slightest bit of pretence.

The few prisoners looked at each other, then the middle-aged man nodded firmly, ”Alright, my lord. I believe that you are a man of your word.” I also believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to take us away. ”

”Milord, I believe in you as well.”

”As long as you can take us with you, I'll let you do whatever you want with me.”

Hearing the few of them speak, Han Chen couldn't help but feel the pressure on his body grow heavier. Speaking of which, even he himself had crossed the river and was unable to save himself, much less helping others. However, being alive was hope. As long as he was still alive, there was a possibility for him to get out.

In the conversation that followed, Han Chen found out that the middle-aged man was called Zhang Tao, an ordinary merchant. It was someone from the Yue Lan Empire who was caught doing business on the way here.

”Merchant? You are a small merchant, and you have never offended them. Why did the soldiers of the Grand Seal Empire want to capture you? Could it be that they have a grudge against other countries? ” Han Chen was a little confused.

Zhang Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He pointed to a fat man not far away and said, ”Brother Liao Yang is from the Grand Seal Empire. Didn't he also get caught?”

”Oh? You want to capture a person from your own country? ”

”Sigh!” Master Han Chen, you don't need to guess. ” The man who was called Liao Yang sighed and explained, ”I heard from a few of the soldiers that we talked about that there is a mine in the Howling Wind Ridge. They captured us to come here to serve as the mining slaves.”

Mining slaves? Han Chen was shocked. He originally thought that Xiao Feng Ridge was a training grounds for the troops stationed at the Grand Seal Empire, but he never thought that it would be related to the mines.

There are various mineral veins, such as iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, etc. There were very few mines of all kinds, and half of them were controlled by the various powerful factions within the empire. The other half was controlled by the imperial family.

With the army of the Grand Seal Empire here, it could be seen that this mine was owned by the empire. But what Han Chen could not understand was how a dignified Grand Seal Empire could capture ordinary people as mining slaves.

”Could it be that this is a mine that cannot be seen in public?” Han Chen was shocked, he had grown up in the Bai Clan and had some understanding of the political powers in these countries.

There was no way to see the light of the mine, but Cang Yaner was there. Han Chen suddenly came to a realization and understood what was going on. ”Cang Yaner, Cang Yaner, your Blue Wind Imperial Palace is secretly mining with the imperial family behind your back. It seems like you are preparing for a huge conspiracy.”

Two days later.

The cell door was heavily pushed open, and a dozen soldiers rushed in. Zhang Tao, Liao Yang and the others were trembling in fear. All of them had nervous expressions on their faces. Han Chen's expression was rather calm, after experiencing so many life and death battles, his state of mind had long ago exceeded that of an ordinary person's.

”All of you, come out.”

”Hmph, it's the end of the Qing Fu. It's time for you guys to have a good time.”

”Hurry up, don't dilly-dally.”

Han Chen nodded at Zhang Tao and the others, and then slowly left the prison. The soldiers escorted the few of them outside. The gentle sunlight was dazzling, and the fresh air blew in, causing people's spirits to involuntarily tremble.
