The Sword Prison of the Court Of Sword had a unique characteristic that could not be replicated. The mountain used to carve out the prison was originally a sword tomb, a real sword tomb. For thousands of years, all the flying swords that had lost their spirituality would fall here as their final resting place. Over time, it formed a mountain. There was no better description than "Sword Prison" for the prison carved out in the sword mountain.
After passing through the tunnel that was twenty steps wide, the moist and warm atmosphere of early spring suddenly disappeared. The air became dry and cold, like the wandering souls of countless swords. The dark and cold luster of the luminous stones reflected the hundreds of large and small cages embedded in the mountain wall. Those cages were all made of fine iron. The straight and crisscrossed iron bars were surrounded by faintly discernible Sword Qi. Anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence knew that they should never touch them with their hands. Not only were the prisoners imprisoned, but there were also invisible Sword Qi binding their hands and hanging them in the air in a "big" shape. These Sword Qi were not ordinary either. Once touched, they would invade your body. Usually, they were harmless, but if you dared to use your True Qi and True Essence, your meridians would immediately suffer irreparable damage.
When Yan Li was brought in, he saw the people of Cangjian Peak hanging in the cages. Although they all had the potential to become prophets and had already foreseen this result, when they saw Yan Li being brought to the Sword Prison, their expressions were still very interesting. They thought about how they had openly rebelled against the Court Of Law Enforcement in order to snitch on him so that he could escape first. Now, they had fallen into such a situation. In the end, they did not manage to escape, but were also brought in together with him.
"Elder Zijun, Great Beauty Lu, Elder Xiao Rong, Senior Brother Zi Gu, Senior Brother Chengyan, Senior Brother Fang Shuo, I did not expect to meet you here. At least I won't be lonely anymore." Yan Li smiled in spite of the bitterness. He let the Law Enforcement Disciples bring him into the prison and control the Sword Qi to lock him up.
Cao Zijun said, "I have heard about it from Little Fatty. It was indeed difficult for you to escape. Alas, you don't have to blame yourself. We didn't think it through and acted impulsively. That's why we ended up like this."
Lu Fengxin rolled her eyes and said, "Little Yan, even if you did it for the safety of your subordinates, why didn't you think about it? What if Feng Jiu really fought with you? Those who should die will still die! If you run away, Feng IX might not vent her anger on your subordinates. Only when you have freedom can you investigate the truth. You're such a loser! "
"Sorry, I screwed up." Yan Li did not explain.
Cao Zigu said, "Great Beauty Lu, just say a few words less. Junior apprentice-brother Yan has just returned, and we have not been able to hold a welcoming banquet for him. Meeting him in a prison cell is already very unseemly. Rather than pursuing such trivial matters, why don't we think about what to do next?"
"What? You people of Cangjian Peak are really funny. " Xu Longxiang was also brought in. His treatment was much better than that of Cangjian Peak. He was locked in a cell with a bed and there was no Sword Qi to lock him up. As soon as he entered the cell, he lay down on the bed and purposely made sounds of enjoyment. Everyone looked at him coldly. He changed to a more comfortable position and said, "I didn't say anything wrong. You helped a murderer and got yourself into trouble. Isn't it funny? Yes, when Su Xiaojian was alive, he always emphasized that Cangjian Peak is a family and every member is a family. Now, the most important thing for a family is to be together. "
"Bastard, what the hell are you talking about!" Cao Zigu's anger rose and he became irritated. He suddenly slammed the cell door, making a "bang" sound.
"Cao Zigu, how dare you call me a bastard?" Xu Longxiang sneered, "I am the Deputy Chief of the Thunder Division. It is very likely that I will be promoted to Chief. If you dare to disrespect me, I will report you to the Disciplinary Council. I guarantee that you will not be able to bear the consequences!"
Cao Zigu also sneered, "If that is the case, you called the Peak Lord by his name. I will report you to the Disciplinary Council. I guarantee that not only will you not be the Chief, but you will also lose your position as the Deputy Chief!"
"Really? Who here can testify for you? Do you think that you people of Cangjian Peak can slander the future Chief of the Thunder Division? "Xu Longxiang smiled weirdly.
"He is from the Disciplinary Council. He heard it too!" Cao Zigu pointed at a disciple who was guarding the entrance.
"Did you hear it?" Xu Longxiang said to the disciple. The disciple shook his head and said in a cold tone, "I only heard Senior Brother Cao kicking the cell and insulting the Deputy Chief of the Thunder Division. The Disciplinary Council will continue to investigate and interrogate Senior Brother Cao while he is in prison. In order to prevent the disrespectful thoughts of the Court Of Sword from spreading to other disciples, we will take special measures to punish him when necessary!"
Cao Zigu suddenly realized that these people had been colluding with each other for a long time. He could only suppress his anger. Six years after Su Xiaojian's death, he gradually felt that there was an undercurrent of unrest in the sect. If he still did not improve like before, he might not even be able to step out of the sect.
Seeing that Cao Zigu did not continue to vent his anger, Xu Longxiang was a little surprised. His eyes flashed and he said in a mocking tone, "Trash, you have actually improved a little. However, no matter how you change, you can never change your nature. Otherwise, why did the three golden flowers of the Tingtao Village leave six years ago? Wasn't it because they looked down on you three trash? That's right, Cangjian Peak has the appearance of Confucian orthodoxy, but it doesn't even have the treatment of a small sect. If you want to blame someone, blame Su Xiaojian. His one wrong choice deprived you of the right to use the Golden Peak. Why didn't the three of them leave and suffer in the 'small village' at the foot of the mountain with you? In the future, when they have children, they will have to find another place even for Initiation. How many women would be willing to stay in such a miserable future? "
The faces of Cao Zigu and the other two gradually turned pale. Luo Fangshuo's eyes were red as he shouted, "She is not that kind of person!"
"Little Fatty, shut up!"
To everyone's surprise, this roaring voice actually came from Huang Chengyan's mouth. Seeing the pained expression on his face, Yan Li seemed to understand the truth. He knew very well that reality was cruel because it was always the opposite of what you imagined it to be.
"Hahahahaha …" Xu Longxiang could not help but laugh. He sat up and pointed at the people of Cangjian Peak. "Don't blame the girls for 'favoring the rich'. You are the ones who have failed to live up to expectations, understand? In your generation, there's one trash, two trash, three trash, and an incredibly stupid murderer. What future is there to speak of? Su Xiaojian only has strength, but he does not know how to develop. Now, all the people of Cangjian Peak are prisoners. In the Immortal Realm, he has created a legendary smile … "
Swoosh swoosh!
The sudden shrill sound of something breaking through the air interrupted Xu Longxiang. He saw the prison door shatter silently in front of him. His laughter stopped abruptly and his face turned pale. "Su … Su Xiaorong, what … what are you doing?" His whole body tensed up as he screamed.
"Stop, stop!" The enforcement disciples' expressions changed drastically. They all rushed to where Su Xiaorong was.
The prison cell.
Su Xiaorong did not move an inch. Her eyes were closed and there was no sign of anger. However, when she opened her mouth, a voice that was ten times colder than the air came out. "Xu Longxiang, you do not deserve to mention Su Xiaojian in front of me. One more word and I will kill you!"
The enforcement disciples were flustered and exasperated. "Elder Xiao Rong, you used to be a member of the enforcement department. How could you break the law knowingly?" They were more afraid. They could not understand how Su Xiaorong did not suffer from the sword cell's backlash after using her cultivation.
Cao Zijun sneered. "Alright, shut up! You did not kill her, did you? Even if you did, do you have the right to talk about 'knowingly breaking the law' in front of me? "
The enforcement disciples did not dare to refute. They could only retreat obediently. After that, Xu Longxiang was much more well-behaved. He listened to their reminiscing. There were a few times when he wanted to interrupt, but he could not help but look at the empty prison cell door and shut his mouth obediently.
About two hours passed. Suddenly, a enforcement disciple came in and whispered a few words to the guards at the entrance. Then, they left together. One of them exchanged a look with Xu Longxiang before leaving. Xu Longxiang understood and nodded quietly.
The reminiscing was still going on, but the Sword Cell had unknowingly become very quiet. Yan Li and the others stopped talking. They all felt that there was an unusual atmosphere in the air. At this moment, a sound came from the tunnel. It was the sound of hard black leather boots stepping on the ground.
When the footsteps came out of the tunnel, Yu Qiuyu's figure appeared.
"Why are you here?" Xu Longxiang was surprised.
"Qiuyu, why are you here?" Yan Li was also surprised.
Yu Qiuyu's face was ashen. He clenched his teeth and looked like he had a deep hatred. "The Thunder Tribe does not agree with Eldest Senior Brother's judgment. They have decided to take action themselves. As their representative, I will kill you!" With that, he stabbed his sword towards Yan Li. The Thirteen Strokes were almost one with him. No one expected that he would suddenly kill Yan Li, so there was no time to react.
Yan Li was also surprised, but he quickly calmed down because he could not feel any killing intent from Yu Qiuyu. Sure enough, the Thirteen Strokes ferociously chopped down on the iron cage, emitting a "Keng" sound of metal striking stone. Sparks flew in all directions, and another "Peng" sound was heard. Not only was the iron cage not damaged, it even bounced Yu Qiuyu away.
"You really don't listen to my advice. Then don't blame me for killing your wife from the demon race!"
The situation changed so quickly that it was hard for the eyes to follow. What followed the voice was a sword ray that was as thick as a bucket and as hot as a firework. Its target was Yan Li, and it pierced through Yan Li's chest.
"Yan Li!"
The Hidden Sword Sect's people's faces changed, and they all screamed.
"The traitor Yan Li has been killed. All of you from the Hidden Sword Sect should reflect on yourselves!" Wang Langtai walked out of the tunnel and walked towards Yu Qiuyu with a cold expression. He did not even look at Yan Li. In his eyes, no one in this world could survive after being hit by the Twelve Primal Stars. He stopped in front of Yu Qiuyu and said condescendingly, "Why didn't you listen to me? Why did you have to save Yan Li? Is your wife's life not worth a traitor's? "
Yu Qiuyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "If anything happens to her, I will kill you!"
