Dongfang Bubai and his companions had already arrived here. Dongfang Bubai did not stop, rushing straight toward the two men.
"Bold! How dare you intrude into the Heavenly Prison! You truly have no regard for life and death."
"Hmph! Seeking death!"
The two experts, seeing Dongfang Bubai and his group rushing over, immediately shouted in anger.
Dongfang Bubai did not even glance at the two men, lightly waving the White Sharp Sword in his hand.
"Ah!!"
"Thud!!"
The two men, who were about to attack Dongfang Bubai, had their heads fly off, their bodies collapsing softly to the ground. Their eyes were filled with fear, unable to comprehend how there could be such a fast, sharp, and terrifying sword in the world, and that they had encountered it.
Dongfang Bubai paid no attention to the two insignificant ants and directly reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison. The ninth level was not large, with only a few cave-like cells. Dongfang Bubai headed straight for one of them, as it was the only cell with someone inside.
"Bang!"
The iron prison door shattered into pieces. Dongfang Bubai, along with Zhang Chengfeng, Zhang Chengyun, and the Five Poison Boys, entered the cell.
"Ha ha ha ha! Old Zhu has sent people again. Didn't he just send people a few months ago? And he sent so many this time! Good, good, I can have some fun for a few more days!" As Dongfang Bubai and his group entered the cave-like cell, they heard a voice tinged with a hint of cynicism.
Dongfang Bubai and his companions immediately noticed the most prominent feature of the cell: a large stone stele about three to four meters high, inscribed with the words "Iron Gall Bladder Divine Marquis." At the edges were several desiccated corpses, clearly drained of their internal energy.
On a stone bed at the far end of the cell, a figure was sitting cross-legged. His limbs were shackled with iron chains, his clothes were tattered, and his hair and beard were disheveled. However, it was evident that he had a youthful face, and if tidied up, he would be quite handsome.
At this moment, his body was surrounded by the corpses of various poisonous creatures, all killed by his internal energy. His deep, piercing eyes were scrutinizing Dongfang Bubai and his companions, clearly sensing that something was amiss and that these were not people sent by Zhu Wushì.
"Who are you? You're not sent by Old Zhu." Gu Santong narrowed his eyes, not getting up, but looking at Dongfang Bubai with a hint of curiosity.
Among these few people and those outside, only Dongfang Bubai could catch his attention, as he sensed a dangerous aura from him, especially from his sword, which was so sharp that even his Indestructible Body was trembling slightly.
Dongfang Bubai looked at Gu Santong coldly, waving his hand, and something flew straight toward Gu Santong.
Gu Santong caught it, and his face immediately changed. A powerful aura erupted like a volcano, the entire cell seemed to be hit by a strong wind, the air becoming abnormally heavy. Zhang Chengfeng and the others were shocked, retreating quickly, their hearts filled with doubt.
"Swish!"
Dongfang Bubai drew his sword, and everyone present felt as if they were about to be cut in half, no matter how they tried to resist.
Gu Santong's face was also grave, his internal energy instinctively reaching its peak, ready to use the Indestructible Body technique. However, he did not use it, sensing that this sword was not aimed at him.
Indeed, Dongfang Bubai's sword was not targeting Gu Santong. A beam of sword light appeared, instantly dispelling Gu Santong's overwhelming aura, shattering it, and then rushing toward the three to four-meter-high stone stele.
"Bang!!"
The stone stele shattered, and the words "Iron Gall Bladder Divine Marquis" vanished.
Gu Santong, holding the object given to him by Dongfang Bubai, his face dark and uncertain, looked at the shattered stele and then at Dongfang Bubai. "What do you mean?"
"If you want to know the whereabouts of Suxin and your son, follow me." Dongfang Bubai said coldly, then turned and walked out. Zhang Chengfeng and the others quickly followed, the entire process from entering to leaving the cell taking less than two minutes.
Gu Santong was stunned, his usually playful eyes now completely blank, muttering, "Suxin, Suxin, I have a son, I have a son, son...!"
A few seconds later, Gu Santong came to his senses, seeing that Dongfang Bubai and the others had already left the cell. He immediately released his internal energy, breaking the thick iron chains on his hands and feet, and flashed out.
As for the promise, in the face of Suxin and his son, nothing else mattered, especially since the words "Iron Gall Bladder Divine Marquis" were now gone.
In a few breaths, Gu Santong had caught up with Dongfang Bubai.
"What do you mean?" Gu Santong, unusually serious, stared at Dongfang Bubai, his anger barely restrained. If not for the concern about Dongfang Bubai's martial prowess and the inappropriate setting, he would have already taken him down and subjected him to severe interrogation.
Dongfang Bubai did not stop, but instead sped up, heading upward. He coldly said, "Listen to me. Once we leave the Heavenly Prison, I will fulfill your wishes."
Gu Santong was furious, drawing a deep breath. No one had ever spoken to him like this, but the mention of Suxin and his son suppressed his anger. He knew this was not the place to argue and followed Dongfang Bubai quickly upward.
Dongfang Bubai and his group's speed increased, and they encountered no obstacles. Seeing anyone still alive in the cells, they cut the chains and released them, adding to the chaos.
In less than nine minutes, they had reached the first level of the Heavenly Prison, the main gate in sight. With about six to seven minutes left before the two incense sticks burned out, they had enough time to leave and hide. Zhang Chengfeng and the others felt a sense of relief.
Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai and Gu Santong's expressions changed, looking at the main gate with grave expressions. A deep hatred appeared in Gu Santong's eyes.
"You are courting death!"
A furious shout echoed around the Heavenly Prison, a powerful and overwhelming aura rising at the main gate, followed by two slightly weaker auras, colliding with the powerful one.
"Boom!!"
The intense collision made the ground tremble. Dongfang Bubai and Gu Santong's figures flashed, leaving the others behind, and they arrived at the main gate in an instant.
The scene was chaotic, the ground pitted and uneven. Yan Shisan and Ren Woxing had blood at the corners of their mouths, staring intently at a person ten meters away. The others were mostly injured, and over a dozen had been killed by overwhelming internal energy.
Additionally, some prisoners who had managed to escape the Heavenly Prison were now dead.
Yan Shisan, Ren Woxing, and the others felt a sense of relief upon seeing Dongfang Bubai arrive.
"Gu Santong!" Suddenly, the person shouted in disbelief.
"Zhu Wushì, hmpf!" Gu Santong looked at Zhu Wushì with hatred.
Dongfang Bubai, with a hint of anger, looked at Zhu Wushì.
Zhu Wushì, about forty years old, wore a black and red dragon robe, exuding a powerful and overwhelming aura that made him the center of attention.
His not particularly handsome face was clouded with a dark expression, staring intently at Gu Santong. Behind him stood over a dozen experts, all at the initial stage of the innate realm or higher.
"You actually escaped! Have you forgotten your promise?" Zhu Wushì shouted at Gu Santong.
"Hmpf, Zhu Wushì, can you control me, Gu Santong? Today, it's time to settle our accounts." Gu Santong laughed coldly, his body moving to charge forward.
"Wait." Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai stopped Gu Santong with a cold face.
Gu Santong frowned, stopping his movement, sensing that Dongfang Bubai was dangerous at this moment.
Zhu Wushì also looked at Dongfang Bubai for the first time, recognizing him immediately, though it was the first time he had seen him in person.
"Dongfang Bubai! You dare to intrude into the Heavenly Prison! Do you think I can't deal with you at Blackwood Cliff?" Zhu Wushì narrowed his eyes, looking at Dongfang Bubai with boundless hatred.
Dongfang Bubai had known about his arrival in Jinling City, but he did not know his purpose and did not interfere. He did not expect Dongfang Bubai to come to rescue his lifelong enemy.
Dongfang Bubai's expression was cold, ignoring Zhu Wushì, and turned his gaze to Jia Bu, who was bleeding from the mouth, having been injured by Zhu Wushì at the main gate.
Jia Bu immediately bowed in fear, saying, "I failed in my duty, please punish me, Lord."
"Hmpf!" Dongfang Bubai coldly snorted, saying nothing. Jia Bu had miscalculated the timing, underestimating the Dragon Guard Manor, and Zhu Wushì had arrived in just over twenty minutes. This mistake, which could have led to their failure, would be severely punished, but not now.
Dongfang Bubai's gaze turned to Zhu Wushì, his eyes growing increasingly fierce, his right hand gripping the hilt of the White Sharp Sword. His cold, authoritative voice echoed throughout the area: "You injured and killed my subordinates. Did you ask me first?"
Ren Woxing and the others felt a surge of spirit, their fear of Zhu Wushì dissipating.
"Hmpf!" Zhu Wushì snorted in disdain and anger, staring intently at Dongfang Bubai and Gu Santong, but did not attack, clearly waiting for reinforcements. However, his hands were already filled with internal energy, ready to strike at any moment.
"Swish!"
The White Sharp Sword was unsheathed without warning, and Dongfang Bubai unsheathed it with full force. This was the first time he had done so since reaching the ninth level of the innate realm.
A sound of the sword being unsheathed, as if eternal, echoed within a thousand meters of the Heavenly Prison. Everyone's hearts trembled involuntarily, as if a sharp sword had cut through their hearts.
An indescribable white sword light appeared in the sky, stretching for over ten meters, like a brilliant meteor, a thunderbolt that shook the world, or an ordinary yet powerful white sword that could cleave the heavens and earth.
Wherever the sword light passed, everything shattered. The gentle breeze was cut in half, the flames were extinguished, and Zhu Wushì's overwhelming aura was completely shattered.
