The narrow and gloomy passage was filled with a rancid smell. It was obvious that it had not been cleaned for many years.
The dirt mixed with blood solidified and dried on the ground, covering it layer by layer.
As time passed, the ground that was originally paved with stone actually had a solid hard shell.
Looking at the cells on both sides, they were dense and narrow. Some of the cells were so narrow that one couldn’t even straighten their legs when lying down.
The yin Qi was so dense that it made one’s scalp numb.
In this stinky cage, there were countless vengeful souls wandering around, wailing silently.
Tang Zhen ignored everything else. He merely looked at the cage opposite him.
That figure in the darkness was currently quietly looking at Tang Zhen. He was just like a stone statue.
Tang Zhen was certain of one point. The other party had cultivators from the inner city and were reinforcements that had rushed over from other places.
As for the specific ownership, there was no need to ask in detail. Even if he asked, the other party might not say.
He walked to the front of the cage and gently swiped his hand. The hard bars became as soft as mud.
“You’re free.”
Tang Zhen did not look at the other party again. Instead, he continued to walk forward.
Although this Lou Cheng cultivator did not participate in the previous secret exchange, Tang Zhen did not mind.
Now that the situation was critical, it was always a good thing to have more help. There was no need to be too conflicted.
As for the other prisoners, Tang Zhen did not care about them at all. Now was not the time to release them.
It was strange to say that when these prisoners saw Tang Zhen come out, they actually did not make a sound.
He was like a lifeless statue as he quietly watched Tang Zhen leave.
It was obvious that there were some secrets hidden on these strange and numb prisoners.
Tang Zhen slowly walked along the tunnel. His eyes swept across the cages on both sides and discovered many figures standing in the darkness. All of them were also silently looking at him.
Some of the walls were filled with numbers and scratches, taking up all the empty space.
The marks seemed to be used for counting.
Such a strange and abnormal scene was indeed difficult to understand. However, it also caused a trace of speculation to form in Tang Zhen’s heart.
After walking for around twenty steps, Tang Zhen stopped and once again looked at the cage beside him.
He had reached the end of the passage, but the cultivator who had responded to him earlier still had not appeared.
Perhaps the cultivator from Lou Cheng was among them, but he didn’t stand up out of caution.
The other possibility was that the voice that responded to him did not come from Lou Cheng.
Tang Zhen frowned slightly. He did not continue to investigate. Instead, he turned his head and looked behind him.
No one walked out of the cage he opened, and the passage was empty.
Tang Zhen seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly turned around and looked at the metal door at the end of the tunnel.
He saw a figure standing in front of him, his body and face shrouded in darkness.
“You can’t escape!”
The Lou Cheng cultivator released by Tang Zhen had arrived in front of the iron gate and spoke in an unusually cold tone.
“That might not be the case.”
Tang Zhen looked at the other party and spoke in an indifferent tone.
“I’ll wait for you to come back, Yingluo.”
After the figure finished speaking, he walked towards the cage, obviously not intending to leave.
Tang Zhen frowned even more tightly when he saw this scene. His gaze swept over the two cages on both sides.
A guess flashed across Tang Zhen’s heart as he looked at those numb figures.
“No matter what, I have to give it a try.”
When Tang Zhen said this, he extended his hand and pushed open the metal door in front.
It was another long and narrow passage, made of hard stone, with iron gates on both sides of the wall.
Behind every iron door was a series of cages, holding strange and cold prisoners.
Tang Zhen did not stop. He was just about to head outside when he heard a wave of hurried footsteps being transmitted over.
A light appeared at the end of the dark passage, and a group of figures rushed in, accompanied by a series of shouts.
Tang Zhen was about to Dodge when he saw this scene.
However, he was still a step too late. The other party had already discovered his existence, and immediately after, he saw a cold light flying towards him.
“A magic tool.”
This thought flashed across Tang Zhen’s mind. He wanted to Dodge, but it was simply too late. A mortal’s body simply had no possibility of resisting the weapons of a cultivator.
In the next moment, Tang Zhen’s chest was pierced by the short spear and he fell to the ground.
Then, he saw a group of brawny men in armor walk up and kick his body.
As they conversed, Tang Zhen’s body was pulled up by the short spear while the strong man beside him pulled out a blade.
The blade that was like a deformed axe aimed at Zhen Tang’s neck and chopped down without the slightest hesitation.
Tang Zhen felt his world spinning. Soon after, his vision turned black and his consciousness became blurry.
At this moment, he recalled the warning of the cultivator from loucheng.
“You can’t get out, Yingluo.”
Tang Zhen’s head fell to the ground with a trace of doubt, and his consciousness completely disappeared.
Tang Zhen, who was trapped in the dark cage, slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the shackles on his hands, Tang Zhen could already understand the meaning of the Lou Cheng cultivator’s words.
He could try to escape, but he might not be able to.
The body of an ordinary person had no power to resist a cultivator with magic.
It was impossible to escape from this prison.
Thinking of the indifference and warning of the cultivators in loucheng, the zombie-like figures in the other cages, and the scratches on the wall, Tang Zhen vaguely understood what was going on.
With enough knowledge, when they encountered some strange and abnormal things, they could easily make an accurate judgment.
Tang Zhen became alert. The situation he was currently in actually represented extreme danger.
It seemed like he would be resurrected from the dead, but in fact, he had to pay a price. After dying a certain number of times, he might not be able to wake up again.
In the eyes of some special existences, this process of constant death actually represented the ultimate delicacy.
Chew slowly, chew slowly, and then swallow the delicious food.
After being silent for over ten breaths, Tang Zhen stood up from the ground and knocked on the railing once again.
It didn’t take long for the correct response to arrive.
Tang Zhen continued to knock until a strong man wearing a mask slowly walked in front of him.
At this moment, the inside of the cage was unusually quiet, as if there were many eyes watching from afar.
Tang Zhen stopped knocking. He quietly looked at the strong man through the firm fence.
“You still dare to make a scene when you’re about to die?”
As the brawny man spoke, he slowly walked towards Tang Zhen and took out an item from the long wooden sheath on his waist.
Tang Zhen, who was in the cage, coldly laughed. This was because he had just experienced this scene not long ago.
It didn’t take long for the same thing to happen again.
Seeing the smile on Tang Zhen’s face, the burly man became even more furious. He brandished his whip and lashed it over.
Just like the last time, Tang Zhen retreated and dodged, leading the other party into a cage.
The only difference was that the killing speed this time was only half of the previous time, and there was no sloppiness in the whole process.
Tang Zhen was quietly pondering in his heart as he looked at the eyes of the strong man who died with grievances. Just how many times had this fellow been killed?
Tang Zhen removed the shackles with familiarity. He picked up a Black Dagger and carved a mark on the wall.
“The first time.”
Tang Zhen said in a low voice. However, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he squatted beside the corpse of the strong man.
He raised the black knife and kept cutting the brawny man’s body. Each cut was done carefully and carefully.
The few cultivators in the opposite cell watched Tang Zhen’s movements without turning their eyes away. There was no expression on their numb faces.
After an unknown period of time, the rustling sound stopped, and the cage became quiet again.
The masked brawny man opened the cage and walked straight to the iron gate without any intention of stopping.
