After Wan Lang attacked the Mountain Prison, more than half of the prison's soldiers were killed or injured. Many prison slaves died as well. It could be said that this was the worst situation in the past ten years.
Meng Helang and the others took the opportunity to report this matter to the Imperial Court, so they left in a hurry.
Meng Helang had wanted to take Wang Zang, but Wang Jiuchong was a living "Wang Zang". He didn't have the guts to take him down.
As for Yang Wu, he had completely forgotten about him. He didn't take him to heart at all.
Wan Tianlong knew that after this, the Mountain Prison would probably be reshuffled. The Imperial Court would definitely arrange for new people to come. He didn't know if he could continue to be the Warden.
On the other hand, Lie Feng and Lie Ziying were the ones being chased. It was because Lie Ziying had a Human King as his master. How glorious was that?
Following this, many wardens and wardens would definitely defect to Lie Feng. Wan Tianlong's power would definitely be damaged.
Wan Tianlong didn't have the mind to care about these things for now. As long as he was the Warden, he had to manage the prison well. He ordered the merging of the prison districts from the sixty-eighth district to the seventeenth district. Reducing the number of districts also reduced labor and made it easier to manage.
This was also a last resort. The number of prison guards was greatly reduced, and it would take some time for the Imperial Court to send troops over. As for the Barbarian Suppression Army, they had been suffering losses for many years. It would be even more difficult to borrow troops from them.
In this way, the districts nearby were merged. For example, the first, second, third, and fourth districts were merged. For example, the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth districts were merged. In this way, the prison slaves in every four districts could move around with each other. New conflicts were bound to occur. However, after the great battle, the prison's management became stricter. No one dared to cause trouble in this place. Everyone calmly endured the days after the storm.
Yang Wu, who was in the seventh district, didn't care about these things. After the battle with Wan Lanxin, he separated.
As the Warden's daughter, Wan Lanxin shouldn't be too entangled with him. Moreover, there were people who wanted to use this opportunity to cause trouble. Yang Wu and Wan Lanxin weren't stupid. They became much more cautious.
Furthermore, they had witnessed the Wolf King's demeanor. They were still in shock and needed some time to calm down.
When Wan Lanxin separated from Yang Wu, she still firmly promised that she would help Yang Wu get rid of his identity as a prison slave as soon as possible.
Yang Wu believed that Wan Lanxin had done a lot for him, but he didn't expect too much. He was clear about his situation, and only by relying on himself would he have a chance.
Ever since the Wolf King was forced to leave, Yang Wu had been in a state of meditation. Firstly, he wanted to completely recover from his injuries. Secondly, he wanted to use his gains from the battle with the Wolf King to break through his acupoints once more. This was to ensure that he could continue to improve.
Three days passed. Yang Wu had been sitting outside the stone house, standing on the Dragon Turtle Water Suppressing Stance. The Sovereign Nine Mysteries Formula was constantly running. Ever since he had absorbed the Prenatal Mysterious Essence, the Sovereign Nine Mysteries Formula could no longer be run under his control. If he deliberately ran it, the results would be even more powerful.
The ground where Yang Wu was standing now had a puddle of water. No matter who saw it, they would be amazed. How could there be water on this dry mountaintop?
After three days of meditation, not only had Yang Wu's injuries healed, but he had also broken through 99 acupoints in one fell swoop. He was only 9 acupoints away from the 108 acupoints.
The Qi acupoints in his body were like spirals. The power they contained was boundless and powerful, not inferior to any top warrior.
In these three days, he had broken through 10 acupoints. If others were to find out, they would be shocked. However, he wasn't complacent. If he didn't need to use the power he absorbed to heal his injuries, he should be able to break through to the rank of a senior warrior.
"Little Hei dog, you're here to steal my wine again. Get out of my way. This is all I have. I can't let you ruin it."
"Hey, hey, that's enough. If you keep chasing me, don't blame me for not being polite. Don't think that I can't deal with you with my old arms and legs. I'm an expert who can capture dragons with my hands and trample tigers with my feet. Ouch, you're biting my butt again. It hurts. Yang Wu boy, come and save me. Do you still want to find a teacher for your brother?"
… …
The only person who could stay in Yang Wu's stone house was Xun Rui, who was being chased and bitten by a dog.
Xun Rui told Yang Wu three things. One was that he wanted to eat meat, the second was that he wanted to live in the stone house, and the third was that he wanted to find a beautiful woman to serve him.
Yang Wu didn't go back on his words. After killing the wolf demon, he put away the wolf general and several wolf soldiers' corpses. He skinned them and dried them, leaving a lot of meat for Xun Rui. In addition, he let him live in the stone house and let Xu Jiaohua serve him.
Xun Rui, this old man, didn't refuse. From time to time, he would take some wolf meat and roast it to eat. He also let Xu Jiaohua massage his legs and back. From time to time, he would sneak an attack on her butt, causing her to scream repeatedly.
Yang Wu ignored Xun Rui's actions. He half-believed and half-doubted that Xun Rui was half an expert. He hoped that this old man, who was admired by his younger brother, could have some skills so that he didn't think so highly of him in prison.
This old man was most afraid of Little Hei stealing his gourd wine. He could protect his gourd wine every time, but he couldn't protect his butt. He would often be bitten until his butt was blooming.
Yang Wu had no choice but to stop cultivating. He walked into the stone house and said to Xun Rui, who was being bitten by Little Hei, "Elder Xun, you've been drinking wine every day. I'm afraid you've already run out of wine. Just let Little Hei smell it, and it'll give up. There's no need to keep pestering it."
"My gourd wine is hard to come by. How can I let a dog spoil it? Aiya, hurry up and tell it to let go!" Xun Rui said while shaking his butt.
"Alright, Little Hei, come back!" Yang Wu called out to Little Hei.
Little Hei was very obedient to Yang Wu's words. It let go of Xun Rui's butt and quickly jumped back onto Yang Wu's shoulder. Its gaze was still fixed on the gourd wine that Xun Rui was holding tightly to. Its tongue was constantly moving in and out of its mouth. It was obvious that it was very greedy for that wine.
Yang Wu reached out to stroke Little Hei and comforted it, "When we leave this place, I'll get you a few jars of old wine to try. Why care about his inferior wine?"
"Woof, woof!" Little Hei barked in response.
Xun Rui rubbed his butt and smiled, "My gourd wine is immortal wine. How can your mortal wine compare to it?"
Little Hei barked again and looked like it was going to pounce on the wine again. Xun Rui was so scared that he quickly slipped out of the stone house. He didn't forget to say, "Stay away from that black dog. Cherish your butt!"
"Elder Xun, were you the Human King?" Yang Wu suddenly asked.
"Uh … Little Wu, you have a good eye. You actually knew that I was the Human King?" Xun Rui turned around and responded. Then, he straightened his back and replied in a rather smug manner.
Yang Wu looked at Xun Rui's sloppy appearance and sighed softly, "If you were the Human King, you wouldn't be here. I was thinking too much."
Three days ago, during the battle between the Human King and the Wolf King, Yang Wu, like everyone else, couldn't see the Human King's appearance clearly. However, he felt that the Human King's voice was a little similar to Xun Rui's. That was why he asked this question.
"Little Wu, what's wrong with your eyes? How am I not the Human King? I just didn't show my face!" Xun Rui said angrily. When he saw Little Hei pounce on him again, his legs were like they were smeared with oil as he quickly fled.
Yang Wu slapped his forehead. He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Xun Rui and Little Hei. He walked down the mountain peak and called Xu Jiaohua over.
Xu Jiaohua quickly appeared in front of him. She wore a simple prison uniform that revealed half of her chest. It was truly a spectacular sight. No wonder Xun Rui was often taken advantage of.
Xu Jiaohua bowed and said sweetly, "Young Master, are you looking for me?"
Xu Jiaohua looked at this extraordinarily handsome young master. Her heart itched unbearably. She really wanted to spend the night with this young master, but it was a pity that this young master didn't fancy a withered flower like her.
"You said before that the seventh region can challenge the bosses of the first few regions. You can use Crimson Steel Ores as the wager, right?" Yang Wu asked.
Xu Jiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master." After a pause, she asked, "Could it be that Young Master wants to challenge the higher-ups now?"
Yang Wu nodded lightly and said, "That's right. Tell me about the bosses of the sixth and fifth regions."
Xu Jiaohua didn't dare to hide anything. She reported everything she knew to Yang Wu.
The boss of the sixth region, Zhou Xuelong, was also known as the One-Eyed Dragon. His strength wasn't any weaker than Black Gorilla's. It was rumored that he loved to drink fresh blood. There were strange occurrences of prison slaves being sucked to death in the sixth region.
The boss of the fifth region, Hunchback King Ba Jin, was an old prison slave who had been in the prison for more than five years. He had accumulated enough Crimson Steel Ores a long time ago and could go to the Death Legion to clear his name. However, this guy didn't do so. Instead, he chose to continue living in the prison as if he wanted to die of old age here.
According to Xu Jiaohua, these two people were both top-tier warriors. Hunchback King Ba Jin was already close to the Human General Realm. He was completely qualified to be in the top three, but he didn't fight for it.
"I understand. Help me issue a challenge to both of them. I'll bet all the Crimson Steel Ores I have. If they win, they'll take all the Crimson Steel Ores. If they lose, they'll each get twenty thousand Crimson Steel Ores!" Yang Wu said in a deep voice.
Right now, he had sixty thousand Crimson Steel Ores. If he lost, it would be the same as losing all the wealth that Black Gorilla had left behind. If he won, he would be able to gather a hundred thousand Crimson Steel Ores. Even if he had to pay twenty thousand Crimson Steel Ores more than the two of them combined, he didn't care. He was only afraid that the two of them wouldn't dare to accept the challenge at the same time.
He wasn't being arrogant by doing this. After killing Black Gorilla and the Intermediate Wolf General, he had the confidence to deal with the two prison slave bosses.
"Young Master, this … Isn't this too hasty? You can just challenge one of them first." Xu Jiaohua said.
She was afraid that if Yang Wu failed, she would be implicated again.
Yang Wu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and issue the challenge."
Winning the Crimson Steel Ores was a must, but he wanted to continue training his battle strength. Once he left the prison, he would have to lead the Death Legion that had a death rate of eighty percent to atone for his crimes. If he didn't have enough strength, it would be difficult to come back alive from the battlefield.
He didn't want to die on the battlefield because he still wanted to be reunited with his family. He still wanted to find his childhood sweetheart and have children with him.
