To Xiao Shi, it was not difficult to know where Xiang Zizhen was currently in. He directly entered the Heavenly Mystery Palace. He contacted Wu Muzhen again and learned more from him.
Wu Muzhen explained seriously. “According to the relevant information 1 found with the Heavenly Mystery Eye, Xiang Zizhen has always been in Star City, but, Recently, Xiang Zizhen’s position in the Xingluo Army has been slightly changed. About half a month ago, he was transferred out of Star City and sent to Prison City.”
It had been a while since Wu Muzhen used the Heavenly Mystery Eye to investigate the whereabouts of these members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Their locations would more or less change with time.
Xiao Shi had long realized this. Therefore, Wu Muzhen had always been paying attention to the whereabouts of these members of Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Now, Xiang Zizhen’s position has been transferred.
Xiao Shi couldn’t help but frown. The other party was currently the biggest suspect in Qin Mo’s death. His every move would make Xiao Shi pay special attention.
“What exactly is the transfer?” Xiao Shi asked.
“Originally, Xiang Zizhen was the commander of the Xingluo Army. However, he has been transferred to Prison City. He will be the warden in Prison City. Prison City is an extremely important and special city in our Xingluo Province. It’s also the largest prison in our Xingluo Province.
“It means a lot. They are directly under the jurisdiction of the lord. Both the jailers and wardens in the Prison City are usually transferred from the Xingluo Army. Not only can this Xiang Zizhen infiltrate the Xingluo Army, but he can also become a warden. This person’s ability is even greater than I imagined!” Wu Muzhen sighed.
“From what you’re saying, from commander to warden, this is a promotion?” Xiao Shi asked.
“Of course.” Wu Muzhen nodded. “As the largest prison in the Xingluo Province, the wardens must be the most trustworthy and reliable people in the Xingluo Army. The warden is even more trusted by the Lord of Xingluo. He can be said to be the lord’s confidant. He’s definitely better than the ordinary Xingluo Army in all aspects. Many of the Xingluo Army dreamt of being transferred to Prison City and becoming wardens.”
Wu Muzhen’s words could not help but make Xiao Shi fall into deep thought. Qin Mo had just died and Xiang Zizhen was promoted?
This directly increased his suspicion of Xiang Zizhen. This was especially true for the other party’s position as warden. Often, only trusted aides who were deeply trusted by the lord could take up this position.
Could it be that this fellow had obtained a high position from the lord by sacrificing Qin Mo?
If that was the case, then this Xiang Zizhen was too dangerous for the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. He could take the lives of the other members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect at any time to obtain benefits from the lord.
But the biggest contradiction was still Xiang Zizhen’s persona. Logically speaking, he was not such a person. However, the current signs made Xiao Shi feel that there was really something wrong with Xiang Zizhen.
“I still have to approach him personally to investigate before 1 have an answer.” Xiao Shi understood that it was already very difficult to distinguish the truth just by listening to the news. He could only obtain the answer after personally interacting and understanding him.
Now that Xiang Zizhen had been transferred to Prison City, it was much more difficult to approach him than before. This might require him to become a jailer himself. However, from the message sent by Wu Muzhen, Xiao Shi had already realized that it was not easy to become a jailer.
Xiao Shi decided to go to Prison City first. When he got there, he would understand more in detail.
Prison City was located in the east of the Xingluo Province. Among the many cities in the Xingluo Province, Star City, Prison City, and Military City were the three most special cities. Star City was the main city of Xingluo Province. The Military City was the headquarters of the Xingluo Army. Prison City was the prison of Xingluo Province.
When Xiao Shi arrived at Prison City, he clearly felt that this city was different from the other cities. This was Xiao Shi’s the largest city he had ever seen so far! This city was the size of dozens of Five Shadows City. It stood on the plains. Just the dark black city wall was nearly a thousand feet tall.
It emitted a pressure that made one’s heart tremble. There were also many array patterns that could be seen with the naked eye and hidden under the city wall. It was as if they wanted to lock down space and time with a powerful suppression. There were also black towers standing in this city. At the top of these towers, there was a huge sphere.
There was a powerful force diffusing from within these spheres that kept surging. Sometimes, they turned into lightning, and sometimes, they turned into huge eyes.
It was changeable!
Although the cities Xiao Shi had seen in the past more or less had a certain level of defense on the surface, the defense of this city was the strongest city Xiao Shi had seen so far. Moreover, this was only the part that was revealed on the surface. He believed that in an invisible place, there was even more shocking defense hidden.
When Xiao Shi arrived at the city gate of Prison City, The guards here would conduct a detailed check and registration of everyone who entered the city. Moreover, he had to impound the next item with a certain value before he could enter the city.
If he caused trouble in the city or did something that violated the city’s rules, the item would not be returned. Usually, the higher the cultivation of the person entering the city, the higher the value of the items seized..
