"The... the Black Prison!!"
Hearing this name, Yu Xiaogang immediately lost his composure, and the expression on his face changed drastically.
Clearly, he knew exactly what kind of place Spirit Hall's Black Prison was.
It was said to be the prison where Spirit Hall held all its most heinous criminals.
Every prisoner locked inside was either a wicked, fallen Spirit Master or a heinous pervert; there were all sorts of criminals.
Furthermore, everyone imprisoned there would have their spirit power abolished. In thousands of years, no one had ever escaped.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale.
Rather than being locked in the Black Prison, it would be better to just die and be done with it.
After receiving the order, the Tall Man immediately and violently dragged Yu Xiaogang out of the hall.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue snorted coldly, but a look of relief appeared on her face.
Yang Yuan had a strange expression on his face. He suddenly remembered certain novels he had read in his previous life and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Is Gangzi about to unlock his 'Prison Xiaogang' form?"
A bit interesting!
...After being led out of the palace by the Tall Man, Yu Xiaogang continued to cry out for help, shouting Bibi Dong's name.
However, the Tall Man couldn't stand his shouting.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was a prisoner; what kind of propriety was there in shouting the former Supreme Pontiff's name in public?
Although he was a confidant of the Elder Palace, he still couldn't tolerate this situation and immediately stuffed another rag into Yu Xiaogang's mouth.
Soon, the Tall Man brought Yu Xiaogang to the Spirit HallBlack Prison.
After walking through a dark corridor filled with the smell of decay and blood, the path ahead suddenly opened up into a vast space.
It was eerie and dark here. Various torture instruments were placed in prominent positions, and dark red bloodstains had long since dried.
Ahead, a short middle-aged man with a sinister smile on his face immediately came forward upon seeing the Tall Man.
This person was none other than the Black Prison Warden.
Because of his ruthless style, even internal members of Spirit Hall kept their distance from the Black Prison Warden. While they might not hate him, no one wanted to be close friends with him.
The Black Prison Warden walked up to the Tall Man and bowed.
"Lord Qi Ming, how do you have time to visit my Black Prison today?"
Qi Ming was a flying-type Spirit Saint and held a certain status and position within Spirit Hall.
Facing the Black Prison Warden's inquiry, Qi Ming said indifferently, "Can't you see I'm here to escort a criminal?"
The Black Prison Warden smiled and said, "What criminal requires Lord Qi Ming to escort them personally?"
"The Black Prison is filthy and foul; I fear it will soil your lordship's eyes."
Qi Ming pointed at Yu Xiaogang and said, "This person was personally named by the Holy Maiden. How could I be negligent?"
Hearing this, the Black Prison Warden's heart stirred.
He knew that the Holy MaidenQi Ming spoke of could not possibly be Hu Liena, but rather that extremely mysterious Holy Maiden.
Thus, the expression on his face became a bit more solemn as he continued to ask, "Did the Holy Maiden have any other instructions?"
"By order of the Holy Maiden, this person is handed over to you to be 'well-entertained'."
Qi Ming coldly repeated Qian Renxue's command, placing special emphasis on the last two words.
Hearing this, a chilling smile appeared on the Black Prison Warden's face again. He bowed and replied, "Please report back to her lordship that I understand. I will certainly 'entertain' this person well and make him feel right at home."
Qi Ming nodded indifferently, then pushed Yu Xiaogang toward the Black Prison Warden like he was throwing away trash before turning to leave.
After he left, the Black Prison Warden stood up straight and circled Yu Xiaogang twice, sizing him up. His gaze wasn't like he was looking at a person, but rather like he was evaluating livestock.
Finally, he clicked his tongue and said, "I don't know what heavenly law you broke to be personally ordered for 'good entertainment' by that Holy Maiden."
Yu Xiaogang's face was full of terror. Especially after his gaze swept over the dark surroundings and the torture instruments with dried blood, he couldn't help but break out in goosebumps all over his body.
Vaguely, he could also hear screams and wails coming from the cells surrounding the Black Prison.
When had Yu Xiaogang ever seen such a scene?
Hearing these sounds, his body shook uncontrollably, trembling like a sieve.
But the Black Prison Warden ignored his reaction and simply ordered people to hold him down to abolish the spirit power in his body using special methods.
Yu Xiaogang broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, the veins on his forehead bulging as he struggled frantically.
But his body was pinned down firmly by four large men, leaving him unable to move.
And the rag in his mouth ensured he couldn't even make a sound.
After all this was done, Yu Xiaogang actually fainted directly, losing consciousness.
Seeing this, the Black Prison Warden frowned and muttered to himself, "He couldn't even handle this?"
With that, he grabbed Yu Xiaogang with one hand and dragged him to a massive cell at the very end.
Behind the Profound Iron bars of this huge cell, which were as thick as a baby's arm, a dozen figures emitting fierce auras were vaguely visible. The air was thick with beast-like restlessness and malice.
Every one of these was a heinous criminal. Although their spirit power had been abolished, their ferocity hadn't diminished in the slightest.
The Black Prison Warden took out a key, opened the cell door, and shoved Yu Xiaogang inside forcefully.
Yu Xiaogang fell to the ground but still showed no signs of waking up.
"Scarface!"
The Black Prison Warden called out to the most burly figure in the shadows of the cell.
"The higher-ups specifically named this newcomer for me to 'entertain' well. You should know what to do, right?"
From the area shrouded in shadows, a figure the size of a small mountain slowly stood up.
The man was nearly two and a half meters tall. After he stood up, a powerful sense of pressure immediately spread out.
He was shirtless, revealing strong, powerful muscles and a rugged face. On his forehead was an extremely hideous, purplish-red scar extending from the left side of his forehead to the right corner of his mouth.
When he grinned, the smile pulled at the scar, making him look incredibly cruel.
He glanced at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang on the ground and gave a "jie jie" strange laugh. "Warden, rest assured. Mission guaranteed. We will definitely make this kid experience the warmth of home."
Hearing this, the Black Prison Warden smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good. If you handle this well, there will naturally be benefits for you."
After hearing this, Scarface's eyes immediately lit up. Looking at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang on the ground, he even felt the man looked a bit more handsome.
What a good person!
Thinking they were having a hard time here, someone actually came to deliver them some welfare.
Scarface licked his lips, a cruel smile appearing on his face.
"Warden, rest assured. Our methods will never disappoint you, elder."
The Black Prison Warden smiled and nodded, but then, as if remembering some missing detail, he added, "Also, don't let him die. Otherwise, I'll hold you all responsible."
Scarface patted his chest and pointed at Yu Xiaogang with a grin. "Warden, with skin this fair and tender, even if you wanted us to kill him, we wouldn't have the heart to."
As he spoke, he didn't forget to look around and shouted, "Brothers, am I right!!"
"Brother Scarface is right, we wouldn't have the heart to let him die."
In the cell, a burst of coarse, excited, and ill-intentioned laughter immediately rang out.
Seeing this, the Black Prison Warden left, satisfied.
Looking at those wolf-like gazes, he knew.
This matter was settled!!
