"Thank you so much, Elder Xu!" Xiao Xie couldn't help but be happy when he saw that he had promised.
Xu Han pondered for a long time, then drafted a handwriting, stamped it with his own seal, handed it to Xiao Xie, and said: "Give this to the elder Zhao Jiaming in the dungeon, and he will arrange everything for you."
Xiao Xie took Xu Han's handwriting and escorted Zhan Chen to the entrance of the dungeon. Zhan Chen took a quick look and saw that the entrance was very distinctive. The appearance was carved into the head of a giant snake with its mouth wide open.
The face is ferocious, as if it is going to devour everyone who enters, giving people a shuddering feeling. There is a long, narrow and deep tunnel in the mouth of the snake that leads directly to the underground, which is dark.
As soon as he entered the tunnel, Zhan Chen smelled the smell of blood rushing toward him. After walking down about a hundred meters, he heard faint wailing sounds coming from far away. After walking up another fifty meters of stairs, he arrived.
We arrived at the first level of the dungeon. The cells here were very crudely built, with just one iron cage next to another, extending into the depths of the dungeon, giving people the illusion that there was no end in sight.
In the dungeon, there is only a fluorite for lighting every fifty meters or so, which emits a faint light, making the dungeon appear particularly dark and adding a bit of gloominess.
Even though the light was not good, the immortal's eyesight was already very powerful. Zhan Chen could still clearly see the prisoners in the cages. However, there were only a dozen people in the 30-square-meter iron fence. Their cultivation levels were all
Only when you look into the Yuan realm, you will see people with sallow complexion and unkempt hair, leaning weakly on the iron bars, or simply falling to the ground, with dead eyes, as if they have been sentenced to death.
When a cell leader who was patrolling saw them coming, he came up and asked, "How many of you are there?"
Xiao Xie showed Xu Han's handwriting to him. The cell leader looked at it carefully and said: "Elder Zhao is on the tenth floor. The first nine floors of our prison are all people who are in the Yuanjing realm. From the tenth floor,
Only then did we begin to imprison those in the Immortal Realm."
So they continued to go deep into the dungeon and headed towards the tenth floor. Along the way, Zhan Chen observed carefully and found that there were a lot of prisoners here, at least tens of thousands of people on each floor. After careful calculation, the total number of prisoners detained on the ninth floor was
That's amazing!
Compared with the huge number of prisoners, there are only a few guards arranged. There are only a thousand people on the first floor, and the cultivation level is not very high. It is about the same as myself. It is only around the first level of Xianyuan. After walking for such a long time,
Lu and Zhan Chen didn't even see a few people who were in the middle level of Xianyuan.
"Great, it seems that the first nine floors of the dungeon are weak and easy to break through!" Zhan Chen immediately made this judgment, but then he overturned his judgment: "No, Xiao Xie was full of confidence before
The ground tells me that no one has been able to escape from this dungeon, so what if we break through? The real test is probably outside."
After thinking about it, the tenth floor has arrived. Zhan Chen immediately felt that the scene on the tenth floor was very different from the previous nine floors. The "treatment" of the prisoners here has also been upgraded. Everyone has an independent cell.
Doors with windows are made of hard weapon-refining materials.
The material is difficult to destroy even by the powerful in the Immortal Realm, and the number of disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect responsible for surveillance on this level has not decreased, and the average cultivation level has also increased significantly. Zhan Chen can't even see through the cultivation level of any one of them, and can only rely on
Judging by their aura, the cultivation of these cell leaders has reached the advanced level of Immortal Yuan or above.
Walking on the narrow road, he suddenly heard a miserable scream coming from around him: "Give me my storage ring quickly!" So he followed the sound and saw two disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect smiling ferociously.
I took off the storage ring from the finger of a new prisoner. Of course the new prisoner refused to do it and wanted to resist.
"You brat, don't you want to live?" One of the cell bosses got angry and kicked the prisoner, causing him to fall to the ground. The other cell boss laughed and said, "Boy, you have to abide by our rules here.
If you live a few more days, you won't be able to get out anyway, so what's the use of keeping all this wealth? It's better to use it to make us easier and let you live a few more days!"
"You, you guys--" The new prisoner trembled with anger when he heard what they said.
"Who are we?" A trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the two prison chiefs. Fear flashed across the faces of the new prisoners, and they had to swallow back the dirty words they were about to say.
This aroused Zhan Chen's vigilance. He subconsciously touched his chest and calmed down. In fact, he usually made two preparations when walking outside. The storage ring on his hand only contained some scattered immortal stones and
He always puts some unimportant things, but large amounts of wealth and important things in a separate storage ring, and hides it in the most secret place on his body.
The four of them went straight to the end of the tenth floor dungeon and saw a room, which was where Zhao Jiaming worked and rested. Xiao Xie showed Xu Han's handwriting and was allowed to enter the room. After entering the room, Xiao Xie would
The manuscript was handed to Zhao Jiaming to read.
, after Zhao Jiaming saw it, he said to Xiao Xie: "Xiao Xie, since this matter was personally entrusted by Elder Xu, I will take it very seriously, so I will stay. You can go back. After all, the dungeon is a forbidden area for the sect. It doesn't matter."
You can't wait too long."
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Zhao." Xiao Xie replied with his hands in hand, then turned to Zhan Chen and said with a smile: "Zhan Chen, wait here well. After I recover my cultivation, I will come to pick you up in person!" After that!
, then turned around and left the house with Chen Kun and Tsui Hark.
After the three men left, Zhao Jiaming said to a cell leader next to him: "Chen An, this Zhan Chen will be left to you from now on."
"Yes!" Chen An answered with cupped hands.
Zhao Jiaming thought for a while and then said: "Remember, don't make it too difficult for him, don't kill him!"
"Yes!" Chen An quickly replied.
When Zhan Chen heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He wondered if Zhao Jiaming might have mistaken Xiao Xie's intentions. According to the Demon Sect elder's opinion, he might still receive special care in the future, and his life would be temporary.
It won't be lost.
"Chen An, take this person down and arrange a clean cell." Zhao Jiaming said again.
"Yes!" Chen An led Zhan Chen out of the house and went to choose a cell for him. Chen An kept staring at Zhan Chen along the way and suddenly asked: "Is your name Zhan Chen?"
Zhan Chen's heart moved and he replied: "Yes."
"I'm very curious, you are not our demon cultivator, but why can you receive the care of Elder Zhao? Do you know that usually ordinary cultivators in our Ten Thousand Demon Sect have a very miserable fate, either used to refine corpses or used to
No one will die easily when refining alchemy."
Zhan Chen rolled his eyes, changed the subject, and asked: "Brother, what do you call me?"
"Brother?" Chen An was stunned and couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he asked: "You righteous monks call us demon cultivators brothers. This is the first time I have seen someone like you."
Zhan Chen had his own reasons and said: "Actually, what's the difference between the righteous monks and the demonic cultivators? Don't there still be people among the righteous cultivators who want my life? I think it's the same among the demonic cultivators. In this case, why should we deliberately distinguish between them?
Righteous Demon? There are only two kinds of people in the world of immortality, one is friends and the other is enemies. Since I can't be your enemy, why can't I try to be friends or even brothers?"
After hearing his theory, Chen An couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such insight, Zhan Chen. Yes, there are no good and evil in this world, only friends and enemies. Sometimes we are from the same sect."
They are more cruel to each other!"
"Yes, how dare a person not bow his head under a low eaves? Now I will only try my best to be your friend, and I will never dare to be your enemy!" After Zhan Chen said this, he removed the storage ring on his finger.
He took it off and handed it to Chen An, saying: "This is my little savings, not much. I only have 10,000 middle-grade immortal stones. I give them all to you. I just hope that you can make it convenient for me in the future."
Chen An stared at the storage ring, his eyes sparkled, and he immediately took it into his hand and sighed: "Zhan Chen, you are a sensible person, don't worry, even if you don't give me these, I will take care of you.
After all, it is what Elder Zhao ordered."
Zhan Chen smiled and said, "That'll be hard work."
As the saying goes, money makes things easier. Next, Chen An found a clean cell for Zhan Chen, gave him a clean prison uniform, and temporarily removed his handcuffs and shackles, saying: "Zhan Chen,
I allow you to be free in the cell without handcuffs, so that you can meditate and practice. Although the effect is not great, it is better than nothing."
A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
Chen An smiled slightly and said: "Forget it, no one can escape from this eighteenth-level dungeon, let alone you, who only have the basic level of immortality, can't even get out of this door!"
Zhan Chen nodded, which was considered to be an admission. He had to find another way to escape, and forcing himself would definitely not work.
"However, if you leave this cell, you will have to wear handcuffs and shackles!" Chen An added.
Zhan Chen asked again: "By the way, when I came here, I saw some people outside for a breather. How long will it take for us to go out and get some fresh air?"
Chen An smiled slightly and said: "This treatment cannot be approved casually. Everyone has a chance every month, but you must apply first. It will only be approved if we agree."
Zhan Chen's eyes lit up and he asked: "So, as long as you agree, it's fine."
Chen An nodded proudly and said, "It depends on your performance. As long as you are obedient and don't cause trouble for me, I will let you go out and enjoy yourself in the future."
"Understood!" Zhan Chen said with a meaningful smile. Now, if he wants to gain a foothold in this hell, he must have good dealings with monsters like Chen An.
"Okay, Zhan Chen, just stay in the cell and I'll go out first!" Chen An turned around and left after saying a few words, and closed the cell door heavily.
The room finally became quiet, and Zhan Chen began to look around at the place he wanted to stay with for a long time.
