capital city, sky prison.

upon realizing that the other party was an innate master, old zhou immediately lowered his head and dared not even look at liang sheng’s face.

liang sheng couldn’t help but nod when he saw this, and thought to himself that he wasn’t the only smart one. this adversary was indeed the wily “blood prison old demon” who had been able to keep the sky prison impregnable for so long.

“today, 1 want to take away someone with me. do you know where the baby grandson of zheng wanchun, who’s still in swaddling clothes, is locked up?”

old zhou, hearing this, sighed in relief. it was good that this grandmaster did not come to kill him, and all he wanted was to take away an infant.

he got up immediately and led the way without daring to look at liang sheng’s face, keeping his head low.

“senior, please follow me.”

without trying to dodge or explain, he just wanted to quickly send this plague away. after all, what did it have to do with him if sky prison lost a baby?

before long, they arrived at prison c. liang sheng stopped in the shadows and didn’t move forward. old zhou understood immediately what liang sheng meant by this.

without hesitation, he walked straight to a cell door, rudely picked up zheng wanchun’s infant grandson from his swaddling clothes beside zheng wanchun’s son and carried him away.

liang sheng’s actions just now had already shown that he didn’t want to meet anyone from the zheng family. he probably just wanted to take zheng wanchun’s baby grandson away without having too much to do with the zheng family.

the members of the zheng family wanted to stop older zhou, but they couldn’t. when they arrived at the shadows, liang sheng glanced at the baby in old zhou’s arms and confirmed it was the same baby zheng wanchun had described. in an instant, he disappeared with the child.

old zhou waited for a short while. there was no movement, and without any hesitation, he decided to leave sky prison.

but before he could get away, a loud noise came from inside the prison, followed by the sound of drums and the cry for help from the prison guards echoing throughout the sky prison.

“the criminals are escaping. come give support quickly!”

old zhou’s face couldn’t help but show bitterness. he had no choice but to turn back, as he was a step too late. he didn’t need to think much – zheng wanchun must be causing trouble.

indeed, when he arrived at the scene of the incident, he saw zheng wanchun full of energy. combining this with his disregard for life, no one dared to get within three meters of him.

old zhou naturally wouldn’t move forward. zheng wanchun was now purposeful in his actions, and liang sheng had earlier brought him his infant grandson and told him where the zheng family was imprisoned.

since they were all doomed to die, it’s better to die at their own hands, to avoid torture and to cover up the news of the escape of their baby grandson.

as for old zhou, seeing the direction that zheng wanchun was heading, he quickly guessed his intention. it’s best not to provoke someone who’s already dying.

half an hour later.

the sky prison guards suffered heavy casualties, but the criminal zheng wanchun and all the members of the zheng family perished in the sea of fire.

all the sky prison guards received a certain penalty from top to bottom. old zhou remained silent, but didn’t have much resentment. after all, it was good just to be alive.

but still, which grandmaster had come today?

three days later.

peaceful mind studio.

liang sheng finally appeared at the bookstore. old zhang sighed in relief as soon as he saw him. “little liang, where have you been these past few days?

you didn’t even give me a call. i’ve been on pins and needles, worried that something happened to you!”

“old zhang, thank you for your concern. i’m fine. 1 just went to visit a distant relative outside the city and just got back.”

old zhang didn’t ask any further questions since little liang was an honest person. was it possible he could have done anything big?

he couldn’t contain his impatience and approached cautiously. “little liang, while you were away from the capital city, did you hear that something happened to the sky prison? let me tell you…”

old zhang recounted the rumors he’d heard about the sky prison to liang sheng, who showed no reaction. for the past three days, he had actually been wandering around the outskirts of the capital city.

he had already given zheng wanchun’s baby grandson to a childless kind-hearted family to raise. although the child would not be rich, he could grow up safely.

moreover, he would visit the child from time to time until he grew up, fulfilling his friendship with zheng wanchun.

afterwards, the incident at prince ping’an’s mansion finally subsided, and the capital city became increasingly peaceful. however, three months later, capital city’s tower suddenly rang out nine times.
