Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Chi Rong: "According to the regulations of the Ten Kings' Office, all those entering the Prison of Imprisonment must undergo strict screening. This is to ensure the normal operation of the Prison of Imprisonment and to prevent suspicious persons from infiltrating."

"Huh? I wasn't checked. Shall I leave?"

"Hmm...no need. If it's Lord Chengxiao, you can come and go as you please. It would be best if you could come here often..."

Jingliu frowned slightly.

Chi Rong: "The Prison of the Netherworld is where the Luofu Immortal Ship imprisons the most heinous criminals. Lord Cheng Xiao must abide by the confidentiality regulations and must not reveal anything you hear or see here. Please be sure to comply."

"What if I accidentally tell someone?"

"Hmm...I believe adults wouldn't talk nonsense~"

Danfeng frowned slightly.

Danfeng & Jingliu: This prison warden! He's so noisy!

During the journey, a messenger from the underworld instructed the officers to detain the next fox-person.

Chi Rong frowned and quickly went to ask:

"What happened? Why is there such a commotion?"

The messenger from the underworld replied, "Lord Chirong, this is a judge from the Zhu Ming dynasty. He came here to study and learn, but mistakenly entered the icy inner chamber of the prison and nearly froze to death!"

"We have the right to punish any unauthorized actions."

Chi Rong nodded: "Good. After being punished, you will all accept your punishment yourselves. There must be no accidents in the Dark Prison. You also need to reflect on your negligence in guarding it!"

"yes!"

Chi Rong displayed the authority befitting a prison warden in front of outsiders.

"I'll say it again! The Prison is not a place where you can come and go as you please! Outsiders should think carefully before entering! If you accidentally cause a major disaster, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

After giving him a stern lecture and a reprimand, Chi Rong returned to her smiling face and came to Cheng Xiao.

"Lord Chengxiao, please make yourself at home~"

Cheng Xiao: "...I'd better be careful."

"Yes, yes! The environment of the Prison is complex and the prisoners it houses are from all walks of life. Lord Chengxiao, you can come to me anytime if you have any questions."

What followed was a series of attentive introductions, making Cheng Xiao feel like he was really on a vacation.

The central pillar of the Dark Prison is a key called the "Prison Break Key." Unlocking its mechanism opens a path to the bottom of the Dark Prison, where the most heinous criminals are imprisoned.

(The ten unpardonable sins are: causing one to lose immortality, coveting immortality, confusing one's mind, luring one into demonic ways, slaughtering one's own kind, stealing secrets, breaking prisons and releasing prisoners, sowing discord among allies, instigating war, and capsizing the immortal vessel.)

The group descended the prison, passing through each level.

"The gate of the prison is carved with a fierce and malevolent face, which is only to deter criminals. It is called the Gate of Suppressing Evil. Most of the buildings inside the prison have its image. This malevolent face is called Fang Xiang. It looks fierce, but it is a guardian beast that devours evil spirits with kindness."

"Lord Chengxiao, this is the Yinhan Prison, where the cold wind chills you to the bone. It is used to imprison and punish those who are afraid of the cold."

"Lord Chengxiao, this is the Scorching Heat Prison, a place of scorching heat and sweltering summer, used to imprison and punish those who are afraid of the heat."

Throughout the journey, Chi Rong's mouth never stopped, diligently introducing the situation of the Prison of Darkness.

Finally, they descended to the bottom via a floating platform. Chi Rong used a special technique to turn the mechanism, and the [Prison Break Key] began to emit a huge, muffled roar.

In no time, the ground collapsed, and a spiraling road appeared.

"Gentlemen, please follow me."

They finally arrived at the bottom floor where Hu Lei was imprisoned, but as soon as they reached the door, they heard Hu Lei's angry shouts.

"You bastards! You worthless ants! You think you can hold me captive?! I am Bu Lizhan! Just you wait, when I break free! I will use your blood to proclaim my rebirth!"

"What a load of bull! It's just something the Immortal Ship boasts about. I'll be blunt: I will be the first person to successfully escape!"

"Hahahaha, you useless trash! Go ahead and keep an eye on me. I'll grow up right under your noses until I can break free and enjoy your helplessness!"

The soldiers gripped their guillotines tightly, the thick chains groaning shrilly as Hu Lei struggled, seemingly about to snap at any moment.

That's terrifying.

It should be noted that Hu Lei's limbs, meridians, and joints were all pierced by the suppressing nails, and the chains made of cold iron had the effect of weakening the body.

Even so, Hu Lei was still able to unleash tremendous power, his blood energy and ferocity showing no signs of waning.

If its mouth hadn't been locked with a special device, it probably would have bitten off the neck of anyone who approached.

"Oh? This wild dog certainly has plenty of energy. I wonder how many of my sword strikes it can withstand today?"

Jing Liu's voice rang out, and Hu Lei's words faltered.

"Mirror... Flow!"

Hu Lei's voice was heavy and fierce, carrying a deep sense of fear.

The sword that responded to the thunderous roar was Mirror Style's.

Locked up, Hu Lei was unable to dodge except by wriggling, and could only become a punching bag for Mirror Style sword practice.

No, it's better than a sandbag, since a sandbag doesn't have Hu Lei's tough body and self-healing ability.

"Hmph!!! Kagami-ryu! Kill me if you dare! Ughhhhh!!!"

The Mirror Style sword shows no mercy; when dealing with evil spirits, it employs the most ruthless and painful methods.

In less than half an hour, Hu Lei was breathing less and exhaling more.

His entire body was soaked in blood, covered with hideous sword wounds, each one deep enough to expose the bone.

Cheng Xiao took the opportunity to collect some of Hu Lei's flesh and blood.

As he approached, Cheng Xiao felt Hu Lei's gaze. Although weak, Hu Lei's eyes were bright and piercing as he looked at Cheng Xiao.

Without saying much, Cheng Xiao and Jing Liu left, and Hu Lei was locked up again behind the gate.

Without food or nutrition, all recovery depended solely on the beating heart within his chest.

Blood scabbed over in the hair, and the sword wound slowly healed.

The recovery speed is getting faster and faster, and although the improvement is less than half a point, it is enough.

Hu Lei was adapting; he was gradually getting used to the Mirror Flow sword, and the suppressive frost was slowly losing its effect.

He had to feign weakness; even though he was physically frail, he couldn't show any signs of decline.

We mustn't let Jingliu discover his purpose!

He must get his revenge!

......

"Lord Chengxiao, I hope you enjoy this journey to the Prison of Imprisonment~"

"...You really think this is a vacation?"

"Thank you again for your help, Lord Jingliu."

"You're welcome, just stay away from my man."

Chi Rong: "..."

Walking through the ancient sea palace ruins of Lin Yuan Realm, Dan Feng looked at the sleeping and nurturing Chi Ming Egg with a gentle expression.

"Riding the Void... these Vidyadhara eggs are all the future of Vidyadharas."

"Yeah, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Danfeng chuckled, "I really want to have my own egg too~"

Cheng Xiao: "?"

Jingliu: "What nonsense are you spouting now?"

Danfeng simply smiled and offered no explanation.

"By the way, Tianfeng Jun Jiting has invited you to Yaoqing. He has something very important to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"You've gotten yourself into big trouble in Yaoqing."
