That punch from the scarred man was as if he had smashed his fist against a bronzed steel wall. His arm suffered a painful fracture. “You’re a fighter in the True Energy Realm?” The scarred man’s face was filled with fear – only a True Energy Realm fighter could display such a frightening physical defense with their Energy Centers sealed.
Hearing that, the other nine all revealed expressions of disbelief. Bao Long had powers in the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm, but his punch actually fractured his own arm. Reaching the True Energy Realm at such a young age – how frightening!
“Don’t disturb me if you have nothing to say. Or else, don’t blame me if I don’t show any mercy.” Ye Mo let out a cold grunt. While he had no air of authority around him, the group of prisoners were already hiding on the other side, frightened.
The prison cell became completely silent. Those prisoners stared at Ye Mo, filled with fear, afraid that Ye Mo might just kill them in a moment of unhappiness. Everyone inside the prison were criminals who had broken the law, but it was not against the law to kill here. Having already been sentenced to death, every day that they remained alive was a bonus to them.
Ye Mo sat cross-legged, inspecting his own body. Ling’er started to get busy, helping him remove the White Tiger Seal texts, starting from his right hand as the texts were cleared out bit by bit. However, the most important issue was removing the seal texts at Ye Mo’s Energy Center. The seal could only be considered completely removed once the texts on his Energy Center were cleared.
“Ling’er, if not for you, I have no idea how many times I would have died already.”
“If you want to find a way to thank me, get out of here alive,” Ling’er replied as she continued removing the seal texts. For Ling’er, seal texts like these were extremely easy to handle, but due to her powers not being strong enough, coupled with the fact that the seal was cultivated using a heartstone, it was a much more troublesome effort.
Saying nothing, Ye Mo opened his eyes once again. “You are Bao Long, correct? Let me ask you something, how about that?” Ye Mo stared at the scarred leader and asked coldly.
These people were a classic case of people bullying the weak and fearing the strong. What had just happened sent him into a state of complete shock. Where would they find the courage to oppose Ye Mo?
“Speak!”
“Did you see a woman captured and sent into the Luosha Prison a few days ago?” Ye Mo asked.
“Yes, yes, that lady was like a goddess. Judging from her weak and gentle appearance, who knows what kind of punishment she will receive? If she has to go through the Luosha Punishment, she probably won’t make it out alive,”Bao Long said, sounding somewhat sympathetic.
“Then, do you know which cell that lady is locked in?” Ye Mo asked anxiously.
“I would have no way of knowing that. However, I did hear those Luosha members talking. They said something along the lines of everyone from the Martial Faction being handed to the Luosha King to settle things,” Bao Long spoke truthfully.
Hearing that, Ye Mo fell into silence again.
“Ah, come quick, help, she’s going to murder me!” A pained scream for help could be heard coming from a cell far away.
“Yao Yue, don’t take this too far. Don’t think that just because the seal cannot control you, it means you can afford to be so arrogant. This is the third time I have changed your cell.”
The Luosha members standing outside the cell also had petrified faces when they saw everything unfold.
“What is happening?”
At that moment, a scrawny man walked past Ye Mo’s cell. As he walked forward, the Luosha Mask on his face was even more obvious. He was evidently a junior chief of the Luosha Prison.
“Boss Gui Xiu, what should we do? If we let her go on killing like this, there will be no one left in our prison.” One Luosha member asked in a flurry. As for Gui Xiu, he also frowned slightly.
“That woman is strong indeed. I’m afraid that no one without True Energy Realm strength will be able to stop her. Let her be alone in this room.”
After that, Gui Xiu left. Hearing that, Ye Mo’s eyes sparkled. Yao Yue was in a cell not far from his, and it seemed that the Five Thunder Seal had no effect on her.
“Come here, the few of you,” Ye Mo instructed.
Hearing what had just happened, the 10 of them went up to him, all smiles, fearing that Ye Mo might kill all of them.
“What’s the matter, master? So long as you don’t kill us, we will do anything!” Bao Long said repeatedly.
“How long have you all been stuck here for? What are the chances of escaping from this prison?” Ye Mo asked. In order to be well-informed about the prison, it was best if he could get his hands on a map of the Luosha Prison.
“It is possible to get out of this cell, but escape from the prison is impossible. In recent times, there has been plenty of cases of prison escapes. The steel doors keeping us in have no effect on us – even Energy Shaping Sixth Realm fighters can easily break past them. However, what’s the point even if you manage to get out? You’ll end up being captured back by the Luosha members, and then starved for three days and three nights.” One of the criminals shook his head. Evidently, they had their share of prison escape experiences.
Hearing that, Ye Mo did not say anything. It seemed like escape was impossible. Even that junior chief, Gui Xiu, had strength in the True Energy Realm and could easily capture them. Ye Mo sat in the prison for three days. During these three days, besides delivering his rations regularly, the Luosha member did not bother him for anything else.
As for Ling’er, she had painstakingly removed the seal texts on all four of Ye Mo’s limbs. The hardest part of the process was removing the text from the Energy Center.
“You, come out! The Luosha King wants to see you today.”
A voice was suddenly heard, surprising a delighted Ye Mo from his sitting position as two Luosha members were seen opening the steel door.
They used the Energy Restraining Rope to tie up Ye Mo’s hands. This rope was extremely strange, and legend has it that it was made from a special vine and was able to suppress even True Energy Realm fighters.
On his way, Ye Mo saw Yao Yue sitting cross-legged in one of the cells.
Seeing that nothing had happened to her besides her face looking rather worn out, Ye Mo finally felt some relief.
However, Yao Yue apparently did not see Ye Mo as she continued sitting cross-legged and cultivating.
Both sides of the aisle were filled with prison cells, with plenty of criminals kept inside of them. There were even some beasts kept inside some of the cells. Walking out of the prison Ye Mo was brought to the palace by two Luosha members. There was actually an underground palace within the Luosha Prison. Ye Mo had not anticipated for something like that.
The two members brought Ye Mo to the palace. Facing the woman who had her hands behind her back and had her back facing them, they clasped their hands together. The woman was completely clad in a black robe, with the shape of her body completely hidden beneath the garment
“Master Luosha King, the man has been brought here.”
“Alright, stand down, both of you.”
“Yes!” Holding their hands together, the two Luosha members left the palace.
Ye Mo did not expect this so-called Luosha King to actually be a woman.
“I heard you killed my Luosha member and also plenty of Imperial Guards in the Heaven’s Wall City. Decent strength level for such a young age,” The Luosha King said, her expression calm. Turning around, she revealed a face that Ye Mo could not believe.
“You? You are Master Xuan Ji!” Ye Mo’s heart shook, his face filled with devastation.
