At this moment, over a thousand people were gathered in an extremely wide courtyard. These people stood in neat rows, and their eyes were filled with helplessness and anger.
In front of this group of over a thousand people, there were also a dozen or so figures standing there. These dozen or so people had gloomy and cold smiles on their faces.
"Jin 'er, Mengru, do you see that? This is what happens to those who oppose our Shangguan Clan."
"Once I report this to your grandfather, we can choose a suitable time to publicly refine these people into puppets."
"Such a spectacular scene is absolutely unprecedented. As long as our clan dominates the entire immortal realm, we'll be able to do whatever we want. All the cultivation resources in the immortal realm will be ours."
"At that time, everyone in our clan will have the opportunity to ascend to the immortal realm and undergo the immortal tribulation to ascend to the sacred realm. Our clan will firmly take root in the sacred realm."
"How exciting is this? The Immortal Realms have existed for so many years. Which power would be able to accomplish this? Soon, our Shangguan Clan will be able to accomplish this. Hahaha … "
A middle-aged man's voice rang out, his voice filled with unconcealable excitement. His laughter resounded throughout the courtyard, sounding unusually ear-piercing.
Shangguan Mengru and her brother Shangguan Jin stood to the left of the middle-aged man. They didn't look happy when they heard their father's words. Instead, they looked at each other helplessly.
"Father, do you really think we can defeat the other clans and dominate the immortal realm?"
Shangguan Mengru asked.
"Of course. Our Shangguan Clan has plotted for so long and experienced the efforts of several generations of ancestors. The power we've secretly developed is unimaginable."
"In addition, we've refined a large number of puppets with the alliance of the demon and demon realms. When the war begins, they'll send many experts to help us."
"When we think of the plan we've been working on for tens of millions of years, we should be proud."
The middle-aged man didn't mind Shangguan Mengru's unnatural tone.
He was none other than the chairman of the Frigid Mist Merchant Guild, Shangguan Jiong. His cultivation had long since reached the peerless immortal realm, and he was the second son of the head of the Shangguan Clan.
Originally, with his impetuous personality, there was no chance for him to take charge of the Han Yan Chamber of Commerce. However, when his elder brother was cultivating, he went berserk and killed innocent people. As a result, he was locked up by the Shangguan Clan Master.
Just like that, Shangguan Jiong successfully managed Han Yan Chamber of Commerce. Although he was now the president, his personality did not change at all. He was still very impatient.
"But father, how can we easily trust those people from the Demon and Demon Realms?"
"If at that time, after we suppress the various forces in the Immortal Region, the Demon Region and Devil Region point their spears at us, then we won't have the strength to resist."
Shangguan Mengru reminded him worriedly.
"Sigh, don't worry. How could we not have thought of this? We've naturally made sufficient preparations. We definitely won't let the Demon Region and Demon Region take advantage of us."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You and your elder brother should lead the soldiers to lock up these people. Remember, they must be locked up in our Death Row Prison. This is the only way to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Shangguan Jiong did not want to listen to Shangguan Mengru anymore. He immediately ordered Shangguan Mengru and Shangguan Jin to lock up the thousand people in front of them in the Death Row Prison.
Shangguan Jin held back Shangguan Mengru, who was about to continue refuting, and replied respectfully, "Yes, father."
After that, he quickly left with his second sister and arranged for the soldiers to detain the thousand people in a distance. Seeing this, Shangguan Jiong also left with the remaining family soldiers.
Luo Ping stood at the front left of the troop. Looking at Shangguan Jiong's back, he was still very shocked.
"I really didn't expect the Shangguan Clan to have plotted for tens of millions of years. They're really patient. It seems that it won't be easy for the other clans to win this time."
"After all, the Shangguan Clan has been plotting in secret for so long. Whether it's in terms of power or tactics, they've accumulated too much. Coupled with the interference of the Demon Region and Demon Region, this power is not that easy to shake."
"What's more frightening is that when the time comes, the Demon Region and Demon Region might really take advantage of the opportunity to take over the entire Immortal Region."
When Luo Ping thought of this consequence, he did not dare to continue thinking about it. At this moment, the soldiers of the Shangguan Clan were already in position. Each of them released a force to take Luo Ping and the thousand people out of the courtyard.
These people were sent by the various first-grade clans to infiltrate the secret base of the Han Yan Chamber of Commerce to look for evidence. Without exception, all of them were captured alive.
Now, their powers were sealed and they could not resist at all. They could only passively be taken away by the soldiers.
Luo Ping was escorted by a soldier. After following the team out of the courtyard, they passed through a connecting corridor and directly entered another courtyard.
After walking for a long time in this courtyard, the team in front was taken down to the underground prison. After a while, it was Luo Ping's turn.
Walking down the long stairs, Luo Ping immediately looked at the underground space. Only then did he discover that there were a lot of formations in this underground space. With his current eyesight, he could not see the end of it.
Only a few of these formations were activated. The formation boundary released a layer of yellow brilliance, forming an indestructible defensive layer. Inside the boundary, there were more or less people imprisoned.
At this moment, these people were looking at Luo Ping and the others in surprise. It seemed that it was strange for so many people to suddenly be imprisoned.
Luo Ping did not care about these people. Under the guidance of the soldier, he walked straight ahead. However, after walking for a while, his eyes saw a formation boundary in front of him. His whole body revealed a look of surprise.
"Who is imprisoned in this formation boundary? Not only is it an extremely advanced compound formation, but it is also suppressed by many golden talismans. It is enough to see that the Shangguan Clan values this person."
"Either that person's cultivation was extremely high back then, or he had a special status. That's why the Shangguan Clan didn't kill him and only suppressed him. Or perhaps, that person had some sort of special use to the Shangguan Clan."
Luo Ping was extremely puzzled in his heart. He was also guessing the identity of the person in the formation.
In fact, many disciples discovered the uniqueness of the formation and looked at it one after another.
They saw that in the distance, there was a 'lonely' formation. Around this formation, there was an empty space. There was a large empty space, which looked very special.
Within the formation boundary, there was a person with disheveled hair sitting cross-legged on the ground. His head was drooping, so no one could see his face clearly.
This person had a golden talisman stuck to his navel and shoulders. The golden talisman flickered from time to time, releasing a golden brilliance.
Every time the golden talisman released a golden light, the person's body would tremble uncontrollably. Obviously, he was suffering great pain.
Although more than two thousand people had entered the dungeon and most of the formations had been activated, the man did not seem to be interested at all. His head was still drooping, unmoved.
"Go in!"
Just as Luo Ping was feeling surprised, the soldier behind him directly pushed him into a formation. As the formation was activated, a formation boundary appeared and trapped Luo Ping inside.
Because the captured disciples of each clan were gathered together, the formation that Luo Ping was imprisoned in was not far from the formation that Jin Nan and Kong Haotian were imprisoned in. The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Within the formation, they could not communicate at all. Now that their cultivation was completely sealed, it was impossible for them to break the seal. They could only take it one step at a time.
Then, the three of them looked at the man in the formation in the distance. Judging from this person's situation, they were certain that this person was definitely not a simple person.
Very quickly, the thousands of captured disciples from the various clans were all locked up in the array formation. Then, the thousand soldiers in charge of escorting them out of the dungeon.
The dungeon's door was then closed. The entire dungeon was silent. No matter how loud the people in the formation were, they could not be heard from the outside.
It could be said that the dungeon was not only imprisoning their bodies, but also their freedom. In such an environment, their cultivation was sealed and they could not cultivate. They could only helplessly endure the loneliness and silence.
Luo Ping looked around for a while, but he could not figure out what was going on, so he withdrew his gaze and sat on the ground with peace of mind.
"I wonder when the Shangguan Clan plans to publicly refine us into puppets. Will the Kong Clan and the other first-grade clans send experts to save us?"
"Even if they send experts, they will probably be restrained by the Shangguan Clan. It won't be that easy to save us."
"So, I can't completely rely on others to save me. I need to think of a way to save myself. Although I can use the power of the Profound Heaven Gate to break the seal on my body, it's impossible for me to leave the Shangguan Clan."
"The defense system of a first-grade clan is extremely terrifying. Coupled with the fact that there are so many experts, even a random Golden Immortal would be able to suppress over a thousand people here."
"It looks like I need to study carefully if I want to leave this place. I hope the Shangguan Clan won't refine us into puppets in a few days."
Luo Ping was thinking of a way to escape, but when he thought of the number of experts and the defense system of the Shangguan Clan, he felt a headache coming on.
Although he wasn't worried about his cultivation being sealed in the beginning, and he was confident that he could break the seal with the help of the Xuantian Gate, he didn't expect that he would be brought to the Shangguan Clan and locked up in this death row prison.
Not only did the death prison have a sturdy defensive formation, but the entire dungeon was also enveloped by a defensive boundary. Even if he broke the seal, he would not be able to leave the death prison, let alone the Shangguan Clan.
