Linlong felt very "honored" because it was Xing Bai and the Law Enforcement Elder who personally sent him to the dungeon.
When they arrived at the dungeon door, the disciple on guard asked, "Martial Uncle, may I ask where this disciple will be imprisoned?"
"In the dungeon on the third underground floor," Xing Bai said with a serious face.
"Third underground floor?" Hearing that, the disciple who asked the question immediately revealed a very shocked expression.
Even the Law Enforcement Elder had a shocked expression on his face.
The reason for that was because the third floor imprisoned people who had committed great crimes and were also very powerful. However, Linlong was simply not such a person!
But since the head of the sect had already spoken, other than being shocked in their hearts, what else could they do?
After the disciple opened the dungeon door, he personally led the way. Linlong followed behind him, and behind him was Xing Bai and the Law Enforcement Elder who had been escorting him.
The first floor of the dungeon was very wide and there were quite a few people locked inside. Some of them seemed to be disciples of the Zi Yang School, while others seemed to be people from outside.
Seeing new people enter, they couldn't help but become interested. Some even yelled at Linlong.
However, when they saw that the ones escorting Linlong in were Xing Bai and the Law Enforcement Elder, they couldn't help revealing shocked expressions. When they discovered that Linlong did not stay on the first floor and continued downwards, their shock was even greater.
They could not understand what crime the young Linlong committed. Not only was he locked down to the next floor, he even received the "treatment" of being escorted by the head of the sect and the Law Enforcement Elder.
There were clearly a lot fewer people on the second underground floor. Those people originally wanted to greet Linlong, their new cellmate, like the people on the first floor, but when they discovered that Linlong was being escorted downwards, and the ones being escorted were Xing Bai and the Law Enforcement Elder, their expressions were exactly the same as the people on the first floor.
There were only a few cells on the third floor. There were very few cells, and there were very few people as well. There were only two, and those two were clearly experts above the Martial Lord realm. When they saw Linlong, Xing Bai, and the others appear, they similarly revealed a trace of shock on their faces. However, they quickly concealed it.
Quickly after, the disciple who led the way opened a cell door and indicated Linlong to walk in. Linlong lightly smiled, then walked in.
The rune lock on the prison door was quickly locked. Just as the Law Enforcement Elder was about to turn around, he was surprised to find that Sect Master Xing Bai was silently chanting some rune terms.
After some obscure rune terms, Xing Bai's words became easy to understand.
"Esteemed Lord Mythological Beast, the new prisoner has committed a serious crime. I hope you can use the Mythological Beast Formation of the Ninth Level Illusionary Formation to wash away the sinful soul in his body and return a bright future to the Zi Yang Sect."
After saying that, Xing Bai knelt on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the Law Enforcement Elder could only kneel on the ground like Xing Bai even though he was puzzled and surprised. This was because he knew that Xing Bai had already communicated with the Mythological Beasts of the Divine Beast Array using rune terms.
If he didn't kneel down, it would be completely disrespectful to the Divine Beast. He couldn't bear such a responsibility.
When the disciple at the side saw this, he knelt on the ground without hesitation.
Even though Linlong shouldn't have beaten up a fellow disciple and talked back to the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Xing Bai was clearly abusing his authority by communicating with the Mythological Beast to cast the Ninth Level Illusionary Formation.
However, the Head was Xing Bai and Xing Bai had already communicated with the Mythological Beast. Therefore, the Law Enforcement Elder could only question Xing Bai in his heart.
Plus, only Xing Bai knew the rune terms used to communicate with the Mythological Beast. It wasn't something he could control at all.
Seeing this situation, the other two cultivators in the prison cells were also shocked. Even though they've never seen this Ninth Level Illusionary Formation before, they knew how powerful it was.
This formation completely used the pressure of the Mythological Beast to suppress a person's will. A normal person wouldn't be able to withstand it at all. If it was light, their will would forever deviate from the path of martial arts.
If it was heavy, their soul would be thrown into disorder and they would never be able to think like a normal person again.
What serious crime did this weak youth commit that the Head of the Zi Yang Sect would use such methods on him?
They knew that Xing Bai wouldn't summon the Mythological Beast so easily if it wasn't an urgent matter.
After Xing Bai and the rest knelt down, an extremely low and deep roar came from the entire dungeon. The roar was continuous and reverberated continuously in the dungeon. It only stopped after a dozen roars.
"Thank you, Lord Mythological Beast." Xing Bai knew that the roar meant that the Mythological Beast had agreed. Therefore, he only stood up after saying that.
After glaring coldly at Linlong in the dungeon, he left with the Enforcement Elder and the disciple.
"Little brother, what crime did you commit to make Xing Bai treat you like this?" After Xing Bai and the others left, one of the two couldn't help but ask.
The other person also looked at Linlong with great curiosity, waiting for his answer.
They knew that if they didn't ask now, they wouldn't have the chance to find out when the Mythological Beast came to cast the Ninth Level Illusionary Formation.
"It's just a small matter." Linlong smiled slightly.
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to the two and focused his attention on his surroundings.
Even if Xing Bai and the others didn't say anything, he could tell from the familiar feeling that this place was beneath the Mythological Beast Formation of the Zi Yang Sect. Because of this, Xing Bai mentioned something about the Ninth Level Illusionary Formation.
He'd never heard of this Ninth Level Illusionary Formation.
Other than focusing on his surroundings, his attention was also on the Azure Spirit Armor he was wearing.
This was because after entering this prison, he discovered that the soul of the ferocious beast hidden within the Green Spiritual Armor on his body was actually starting to stir. One must know that the ferocious beast's soul had always been in a deep slumber after obtaining the Green Spiritual Armor for such a long time.
Could it be that there was something in the Mythological Beast Formation that attracted it?
Even though this place seemed to be beneath the Mythological Beast Formation, Linlong could tell that this was the core of the formation.
As he was thinking, a powerful pressure suddenly pressed down on him from all directions. At the same time, he realized that there were countless symbols flashing around him.
In this dungeon, an illusory figure suddenly condensed in the void in front of him. This illusory figure was clearly a lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast. However, it was even more lifelike and ferocious than the four stone statues above.
Linlong knew that this was the shadow formed by the soul of the lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast.
After the shadow of the lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast appeared, the two cultivators who had been calm and collected fell to the ground. They broke out in a cold sweat.
What surprised them the most was that the young man, who was obviously much weaker than them, was completely fine. He still stood where he was, as if nothing had happened.
The shadow of the lion-headed leopard-bodied beast also revealed a surprised expression, "Young man, you really surprise me … Ah, I remember now, we should have met before, but you seem to have hidden yourself very well."
"Thank you for the compliment." Linlong smiled faintly.
"However, you've violated the laws of the Purple Sun Sect. According to the sect leader's wishes, you must accept the test of the Nine Extreme Illusory Formation. Even if you're slightly different, you must still undergo the test to cleanse your sinful soul." The lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast's expression became extremely serious as it spoke.
At the same time, countless symbols flashed in the surrounding space. The flashing brought with it an endless pressure that crushed down on Linlong.
Even though the two cultivators were not the lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast's targets, they actually hugged their heads and squatted on the ground. Their expressions were extremely pained. It was obvious that this kind of pressure was not something they could endure.
Under this kind of pressure, illusions quickly appeared in the minds of the two cultivators. They seemed to have returned to the past and recalled the tragic experiences they had in their lives.
Countless enemies seemed to be screaming and charging at them at this moment.
Their loved ones, and even themselves, were slaughtered by these enemies over and over again. Blood flowed like a river and tragic cries rang out everywhere.
Such a tragic scene made their bodies tremble all the time.
In the end, even the lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast charged at them and opened its mouth to chew on their flesh.
In their minds, this was a vivid and lifelike scene. Even people like them, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, could not bear such cruelty. They felt that their spiritual world was gradually collapsing, and in the end, they were completely immersed in such cruelty.
Linlong could not help but shake his head as he watched the two cultivators tremble and collapse to the ground. He then said to the lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast in the sky, "Is this the so-called orthodox sect? To think that they would have such a vicious formation."
He could tell that the two cultivators' beliefs had completely collapsed after this ordeal. If they were lucky, they would still be able to maintain their cultivation. If they were unlucky, they would not even have the ability to think like a normal person. They had completely become walking corpses.
"You puny human, how dare you make wild guesses about the sect leader's will?" Anger immediately flashed across the lion-headed, leopard-bodied beast's face at Linlong's criticism. "Looks like I need the most powerful formation to make you submit."
After it finished speaking, it suddenly roared in anger. The roars were endless, and the entire prison started to shake as it roared.
At this moment, its roars did not only echo within the dungeon, but also throughout the entire Purple Sun Sect and Xuanyang City.
It had been so many years since it had been so angry. Because someone dared to question the sect leader, to question its former master.
Its master had once been so powerful. So powerful that even a divine beast like itself was willing to submit. So powerful that even demons could be easily killed. Yet such great achievements were being questioned by this puny youth.
How could it not be angry?
