Chapter 381: Dashang’s Heavenly Prison

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After the battle formation took shape, everyone let out a long roar, spurring their mounts to charge out once more.

The remaining army of just over 100,000 across from them seemed as fragile as paper in front of these 30,000 soldiers, easily punctured.

What followed was a merciless massacre.

These armies composed of Qi Gathering Realm and Qi Sea Realm cultivators were basically helpless before the Invincible Army, slaughtered in a completely one-sided battle without any ability to resist.

“The Invincible Army of the Dasui Empire is indeed invincible, no one can stop them!”

In a corner next to a palace hall, Yang Kai dressed in light blue robes stood in the shadows. After glancing at the nearby battlefield, he pinched the jade slip in his hand, then blended into the darkness and snuck towards the nearby Heavenly Prison.

The current Yang Kai was completely different from the one before.

Although honored as Dashang’s Marquis of Scholarly Virtue, he had long known of the deceit within Dashang. Given his personality, he naturally did not wish to be destroyed along with Dashang.

Thus, the moment the formation was broken, he had silently made up his mind to leave this hellish place. After all, he was a marquis of Dashang. If he could not slip away in time, it was very likely he would be dealt with in the end.

However, just as he was preparing to bring his father Duke Yang, and escape Dashang, the jade slip in his hand suddenly flickered. After reading the contents within, his entire body froze.

The one who sent him the message was none other than the most important benefactor in his life – Su Chen!

It could be said without Su Chen, he would still be an ordinary scholar, let alone becoming Dashang’s Marquis of Scholarly Virtue. Even properly cultivating would have been but a pipe dream.

“My benefactor asked me to save Princess Shang Zimo? Could there be some unclear relationship between them?” Yang Kai felt somewhat puzzled.

His benefactor was now famed throughout the East Barrens, even in other places, even The Central Plains, he had great fame.

Yet Shang Zimo was different – she was an abandoned chess piece of Dashang! Although nominally a princess, the Dashang Emperor had never provided her with any cultivation resources. Even until now, Shang Zimo was merely at the Qi Sea Realm.

This level of strength… to be honest, was rather lacking. A mere Qi Sea Realm cultivator. Even with the status of a Dashang Princess, it would still be impossible to form ties with a saint!

“Could it be that the Princess met my benefactor when she escaped from the palace?” A thought flashed through Yang Kai’s mind.

Back then, Shang Zimo leaving Dashang was nothing major to marquises like him. After all, the entire Dashang Empire had been turned upside down searching for her. In the end, she was found in the territory of the Dachu Empire.

At that time, the Great Mystery Sacred Sect was still the Great Mystery Sect, also existing in Dachu’s territory. They had met, and it seemed acceptable…

“If that’s the case, it’s understandable. Now my benefactor has become a Saint Realm powerhouse yet still cares about Princess Zimo…” At this, Yang Kai pursed his lips and set his attitude.

Right now, Dashang was about to be destroyed. Logically, with his cultivation at the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm, he needn’t be so respectful to a princess who was only at the Qi Sea Realm.

Yet thinking of her relationship with his benefactor, Yang Kai felt it was still better to be more respectful. That his benefactor as a saint still cared for her showed Shang Zimo’s place in his heart was definitely not light!

Perhaps, one day, Shang Zimo would be able to leap up and stand high above him. Thinking of this, he silently made up his mind.

Yang Kai moved very quickly. In less than fifteen minutes, he had arrived near the Heavenly Prison.

At this moment, there were not many guards left in Dashang’s prison, the outside world was already thrown into chaos and many bailiffs were transferred out. Those still on duty were mostly just Qi Sea Realm and God Altar Realm cultivators. Against the middle-stage Nirvana Realm Yang Kai, these people were insignificant. With just a glance, they all fainted to the ground.

Yang Kai ascended the dark, damp prison stairs until he was dozens of floors underground, and his brows gradually furrowed.

“It’s actually at the lowest level?”

Dashang’s Heavenly Prison covered an extensive area. Those imprisoned inside were all sorts of vicious existences. The further down, the more important their identities.

Only when reaching the ninety-ninth floor underground did Yang Kai find a slender woman in white clothes in an extremely cramped and dark room.

After a few years, Shang Zimo no longer had the appearance of a young girl. She now had a tall and slender figure, a narrow waist, and long, cascading hair, like a quiet orchid blooming silently in this prison, possessing a transcendent temperament out of place with everything around her.

She sat there quietly, legs crossed, eyes slightly shut. The long imprisonment had made her much more haggard, involuntarily stirring a trace of pity in one’s heart.

In the end, though, her cultivation was still too low. Moreover, being imprisoned on the ninety-ninth level underground of the Heavenly Prison, even a Quasi-Saint Realm elite would be unable to escape, let alone a weak Qi Sea Realm woman.

If nothing unexpected happened, she would likely grow old and die alone here.

Buzz…

Yang Kai formed seals with both hands – spells he had extracted from the guards’ sea of consciousness to open the prison cells. The next moment, a palm-sized seal landed on the cell door. With a crack, the finely wrought iron door opened a slit.

Hearing the sound, Shang Zimo who had had her eyes shut opened them curiously and looked towards the cell entrance. There, she saw Yang Kai respectfully cupping his fists in salute.

“Your Highness, I’m Yang Kai!”

This time, he did not use his title of Marquis of Scholarly Virtue. After all, with the entire Dashang Empire nearly gone, continuing to use that title would only bring trouble and had no use.

“Marquis of Scholarly Virtue?” Shang Zimo’s eyes were tranquil as she looked at Yang Kai before her and asked, “Why are you here? Did my father send you?”

She had long anticipated her own fate. There was no emotion between her and her father, only the use of one another!

And now, her father had already gotten everything he wanted. His daughter had naturally lost all value. Now that Marquis of Scholarly Virtue had come, it was likely to send her on her way to death..
