The Deputy General frowned as he looked at the Captain and regular guards who had abandoned their posts, with no trace of their aura.
As he saw the Captain and guards staring at him strangely, the Deputy General's gaze turned cold, radiating a surge of killing intent:
"Heavenly Prison is a place of great importance. Step forward again, and you'll be killed without mercy!"
"Oh~ Deputy General, no need to be so angry~"
Wen Renying struck a pose she deemed enchanting, forgetting that her current appearance lacked any trace of "enchantment".
The Deputy General's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted: "What monster dares to trespass into the Heavenly Prison, courting death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took action, without a hint of hesitation.
His Divine Soul instantly connected with the might of heaven and earth, and his longsword at his waist unsheathed, his figure attacking like a phantom.
Moreover, at the moment he struck, his empty hand changed gesture, attempting to activate the array within the Heavenly Prison.
Talismans fell to the ground as he formed the hand seals.
However—
Just as this Deputy General approached, at the moment the talismanic seals were about to activate the array in the Heavenly Prison, a terrifying Divine Will Power instantly descended.
Cold, mad, terrifying... The might within the Divine Will seemed as if it would shatter the Deputy General, like a mountain pressing down on him.
Buzz!
The Deputy General only heard a deafening roar in his ears, and then he could no longer hear anything.
It was as if the entire world had become empty, although there were two Heavenly Prison Captains and guards in front of him, he ignored them, kneeling on the ground motionlessly.
Meanwhile, the talismanic seals scattered behind him were also erased by this Divine Will.
Not shattered, but erased, as though wiped away by some mysterious presence, disappearing one by one.
The most intense reaction came from the longsword in his hand, which cracked inch by inch in an eerie fashion, breaking neatly into several pieces that scattered.
Cling clang.
The sword fragments fell onto the stone floor, creating several crisp, melodious sounds.
"Sir?"
Wen Renying opened her mouth wide, eyes showing sympathy as she looked at the Deputy General, thinking to herself, what a pity.
Initially, she intended to use Demon Art to manipulate the Deputy General, leading them to the Earth Building's cells.
However, if that were the case, the Heavenly Prison's array would likely be activated by the Deputy General, causing even bigger troubles—Night Watch Department personnel or Black Armor Guard from the Imperial City might come.
Thankfully, Chen Yi acted at this moment, easily dealing with the Deputy General while avoiding the array's activation.
"Control him, let's continue deeper." Chen Yi's cool voice echoed within the Heavenly Prison.
He did not manifest, remaining in the shadow beneath her feet, but the Divine Will encompassing the area allowed his voice to remain unheard by the prisoners within the cell.
Even visible things in the Divine Will's influence appeared unchanged—the Deputy General still sat cross-legged in cultivation, the passage between them empty and silent.
Though several high-level prisoners initially heard the Deputy General's reprimands, they too returned to their cell corners, dazed under the influence of Divine Will.
Wen Renying felt a silent shock, not daring to delay, she promptly used Charm Demon Art to control the Deputy General of Second Grade Divine Travel Realm cultivation.
"Take me to Wang Yang's cell!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Deputy General's gaze recovered some clarity, he then took out a set of keys from his waist and walked down two steps on the stone-paved stairs, reaching out to touch and rotate the oil lamp on the left wall.
Ka, ka, boom!
As the oil lamp lowered, its flame extinguished instantly, following which talismanic seals lit up beneath the Deputy General's feet.
Encircling seals extended to the walls, converging at the top, slowly revealing a giant iron door two fathoms tall.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the iron door showed its true form—a black iron door carved with the head of a mighty lion, with two gleaming red gems embedded in its eyes.
Seeing this, Wen Renying glanced at the dazed Captain and asked: "Are you sure you've been to the Earth Prison?"
The Captain showed a trace of confusion, looking at the iron door and said: "I, I have not seen it."
"I remember going to the Earth Prison just as before, following the stone steps all the way down..."
Wen Renying rolled her eyes, fortunately, the master acted, otherwise her performance this time would have been greatly diminished.
At this moment, the Deputy General clad in Scale Armor inserted the key into the iron door while replying:
"The Heavenly Prison is indeed well-guarded, like the heaven and earth layers of the prison, divided into common and special types."
"Ordinary people can only remain in the common Earth Prison, but certain special prisoners need a special place of confinement to prevent intrusion."
Speaking, he rotated the key.
Click.
As the key turned, patterns manifested from the iron door, flickering like breaths with crystalline flow lighting up the entire lion.
The lion's eyes set with two rubies brightened, and then the lifelike lion opened its mouth, revealing a stair beneath of crimson hue.
"Sir, please." The Deputy General bowed and saluted.
Wen Renying nodded slightly, thought for a moment, then let the Captain return to his original position, taking the lead to step down.
"Sir, I did not expect such division of realms within the Heavenly Prison."
"That Captain truly deserves death, not knowing such important matters, almost delaying the master's affairs."
"And said the Earth Prison held many prisoners, all Third Grade Heavenly Harmony Realm demons and evil spirits, yet judging by my opinion, he spoke of those held in the common Earth Prison."
