Chapter 1884 - The Cow Pit Prison Realm (1/2)

Elder Kong took out a yellowed book from his sleeves.

The book seemed to be tied with straw paper and was five fingers thick. When it was opened, there were names written on it.

Elder Kong’s eyesight was bad, and his eyes were almost glued to the book as he searched line by line.

After waiting for a whole period for a pot of tea to boil, Elder Kong had only gone through less than ten pages. Zhang Ruochen finally could not stay still and said, “Elder Kong, can I search for it myself?”

“Okay, young man, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Elder Kong rubbed his eyes and handed the thick book to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen’s reading speed was extremely fast. In almost an instant, he had read through a good part of the book, and finally, on one page, he found the name Bao Lie.

“Bao Lie, a creature of the Nebula Leopard Clan. A Two-step Saint King, imprisoned on the tenth level of the Nether Dungeon, the Niukeng Prison Realm.”

“That’s great! Brother Bao Lie is indeed being held in the Nether Dungeon.”

Zhang Ruochen closed the booklet with joy in his eyes, unable to calm the excitement in his heart.

“Young man, what are you so happy about? You want to pull a prison break?” Elder Kong asked.

Warden Goldleaf, who was flying in the air, said coldly. “The Nether Dungeon houses the most vicious and heinous of criminals, and even if you are a Swordbearer, you cannot take a prisoner out.”

“Who told you that my senior Bao Lie, is a heinous criminal? Was it Chi Yao?” Zhang Ruochen glared at Warden Goldleaf with a terrifying aura.

“Yes, it was Empress Chi Yao.”

Immediately afterward, Warden Goldleaf said again. “The crimes Bao Lie had committed are all recorded in the book in your hand. You can read it for yourself.”

Zhang Ruochen opened the book and continued to read it.

A moment later, Zhang Ruochen closed the book and said, “Although Brother Bao Lie had indeed killed many creatures, that was on a battlefield. On the battlefield, it’s either you die, or I die. There’s no right or wrong there. Even if there was, it would be at the foot of the one who started the war. That war was started by Chi Yao, not Brother Bao Lie.”

“Today, no one shall stop me from entering the tenth level of the Nether Dungeon, and anyone who dares stop me shall die.”

Zhang Ruochen summoned the Ancient Abyssal Blade and stared at Warden Goldleaf with a warning look. He then walked to the bottom of the stone wall and stepped over the position where Elder Kong had previously walked out from.

WHOOs.h.!.+

He pa.s.sed through the stone mountain and disappeared.

Brother Bao Lie had fought for the Shengming Central Empire and he was imprisoned in the Nether Dungeon as a result, with no one knowing if he was alive or dead. If he was still alive, how would Zhang Ruochen bear to watch him continue to be held within the dungeon, and suffer unimaginable torture?

The so-called right and wrong were written by the victors.

The defeated can only accept whatever happens pa.s.sively.

“He thinks he’s above the law!”

Warden Goldleaf snorted, and wanted to pursue, but was forced back by a razor-sharp blue crescent.

The blue crescent ripped a beautiful arc across the air and flew back to Murong Yue’s hand. She stood proudly, and stared coldly at Warden Goldleaf, saying. “His Highness has ordered, anyone who tries to stop him, shall die. If you dare to act rashly, don’t blame me for not holding back.”

The other two wardens, Warden Linghua, and Warden Thundergourd all released their powerful saint aura as they approached Murong Yue.

“Think they’re so great just because they are a warden? Believe me when I say Uncle Xiang here will cook you all to eat?”

Xiang Chunan summoned the gold demon crown, and activate the supreme power within it. Suddenly, the area where the black stone mountain was was filled with demonic Qi as streams of tyrannical forces darted across the area.

Xie Chengzi and Luo Yi also took their sacred artifacts and prepared to fight the three wardens.

A battle was about to start.

s.h.i.+ Qiankun and s.h.i.+ Ren rushed over and separated the two sides.

“The Immortal Vampires are looking on it the dark. We must not fight here, or else it will only benefit them.” s.h.i.+ Ren said.

Warden Goldleaf said with a deep voice. “As long as someone tries to break someone out of the dungeon, whether they are an Immortal Vampire or a cultivator of Kunlun Realm, as the wardens, it is our duty to kill them.”

Elder Kong’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e as he said without any hurry. “Theoretically, the six great swordbearers have the right to enter the Nether Dungeon.”

A look of joy appeared on s.h.i.+ Ren’s face, as he said. “The master of the Dreadblade has given his life and blood to protect the Nether Dungeon. Zhang Ruochen is the bearer of the Dreadblade. If he wants to enter the Nether Dungeon, the three wardens do not have the right to stop him.” The three wardens showed some hesitation. Although they did not retract their saint Qi, they were not as aggressive as before.

Elder Kong continued. “It is not impossible for one to take a prisoner out of the Nether Dungeon. However, it needs to be someone with a seal of authority in the Kunlun Realm.”

Murong Yue said. “His Highness had not long ago, taken the Seal of Flames from Chen Yuhua, and became the new Prince of the Eastern Region. Would that make him one of the authoritative figures in Kunlun Realm?”

“Oh yes. Of course.” Elder Kong smiled.

…

As Zhang Ruochen had guessed, there was an invisible door on the wall of the black stone mountain.

Upon pa.s.sing through the invisible door, Zhang Ruochen arrived at the first level of the Nether Dungeon.

Here, it was completely different from what he had imagined the Nether Dungeon would look like. It was vast, and the world was filled with dense precepts and was actually suitable for cultivation. However, the sky here was very low, as if just floating above one’s head.

Not too far away, there was a towering stone stele, with four b.l.o.o.d.y ancient inscriptions carved on it. The Mudplow Prison Realm.

Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual powers and explored the Mudplow Prison Realm. He found that it was home to many humans and beasts. The humans had even established cities and tribes there. Some were farming, some were foraging, some were trading.
