Invincible Soul Emperor

The voices of these people were loud. Ye Qingchen also knew that he had been here once, and these people were unwilling to believe him.

But now the person is dead, this time there will definitely be no mistakes.

At that moment, the manager from before also walked out from inside.

"What, it’s you again? Last time, because of Lord Xue, we didn’t hold you accountable for this matter. Do you dare to come again this time?" the manager sneered.

Ye Qingchen helplessly replied, "Have you ever thought that maybe your defense originally had loopholes?"

If their defenses did not have loopholes, Xue Wei wouldn’t have been able to release the entire laughter so brazenly.

The soldiers around, upon hearing this, were first stunned, then burst into laughter.

A soldier wearing a blue robe mocked loudly, "Ye Qingchen, did a donkey kick your brain? The prison’s defense system is so strict, do you think you can just shake it with your words?"

Another soldier in a red robe continued to jeer, "Ye Qingchen, I think you’re completely out of your mind, talking nonsense! You think you can destabilize our position with just your one-sided words?"

"Hahaha, Ye Qingchen, you’re truly ridiculous! Saying someone escaped from prison? Stop dreaming; that’s a place we guard steadfastly. How could anyone escape from there?" Yet another soldier sneered, his face full of mockery.

One more soldier shook his head and sighed, "Ye Qingchen, you’re a foreigner, and no one believes the truth even when you say it. Who do you think you are? A god, knowing things that haven’t happened yet?"

In the crowd, a young soldier pointed at Ye Qingchen and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Ye Qingchen, do you think you established some connection just because Lord Xue took you in last time? Better worry about saving your own life before concerning yourself with others!"

Ye Qingchen’s face remained calm, unmoved by the ridicule from the crowd. He knew that facts would prove everything in the end.

At this moment, the prison’s manager approached coldly, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.

"Ye Qingchen, are you deliberately trying to stir trouble? The prison’s defense system is personally managed by me and has never had any flaws. Do you think with just your words you can say someone escaped?" the manager sneered, his voice overflowing with disdain.

Ye Qingchen met the manager’s gaze, his expression unwavering. "Manager, facts speak louder than words. If you don’t believe me, you could personally investigate. If I’m wrong, I’m willing to accept your punishment."

The manager snorted coldly, his face full of disdain and contempt. "Ye Qingchen, do you think anyone will believe your words? The prison defenses are stringent, with almost no flaws. You’re making a last-ditch effort to create confusion."

He turned to the surrounding soldiers and said, "Listen, everyone, this Ye Qingchen, a foreigner, came here to cause trouble, hoping to gain our sympathy with groundless tales. The prison’s defense is heavily fortified, making it impossible for anyone to escape. We don’t need to waste time investigating."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers all nodded, the mockery in their eyes becoming even more intense.

"The manager is right; Ye Qingchen is just bluffing. We won’t fall for it. Perhaps there’s someone he wants to save in there!"

"Indeed, he keeps trying to get in, maybe hoping to rescue someone when we’re not paying attention. We can’t let him fool us."

"We must report this matter, ensuring this foreigner doesn’t succeed! Let the Family Head drive this foreigner out!"

"That’s right! Drive him out! Don’t let him cause trouble in our Xue Family!"

The manager sneered again, looking at Ye Qingchen with eyes full of disdain. "Ye Qingchen, give up your fantasies. Even if you fabricate lies, we won’t let you succeed."

Ye Qingchen remained resolute amidst the sea of mockery.

He knew these people felt safe, unaware that danger loomed close. Yet, he said nothing more, only coldly watching the manager and those mocking him.

Just as the mocking and sneering reached its peak, a powerful wave of Spiritual Power suddenly descended from the sky.

Everyone instinctively looked up, seeing a dazzling white light descending from above, vaguely revealing a beautiful figure within.

"It’s Lord Xue Zhao!" Someone exclaimed, and the mocking and sneering abruptly ceased, leaving an eerie silence.

The cultivators who had just been mocking Ye Qingchen instantly changed their expressions, bowing their heads respectfully and hastily tidying their appearances, as if their previous arrogance and disdain never existed.

The white light dissipated, revealing Xue Zhao in a white long robe, his handsome face showing his presence to everyone. His aura was like the ice and snow of midwinter, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

This Xue Zhao was like a completely different person from when he first came out of seclusion.

"Lord Xue Zhao!" Everyone greeted in unison with respect and fear.

Xue Zhao’s gaze was piercing, sweeping through the crowd before settling on Ye Qingchen.

Her eyes were cold, but when looking at Ye Qingchen, there was a hint of ambiguous emotion.

She walked calmly towards Ye Qingchen, her tone calm yet authoritative, "Qingchen, is what you just said true?"

Ye Qingchen looked directly at Xue Zhao, nodding without hesitation. "Xue Zhao, everything I said is true. A felon has already escaped from the prison, but I’ve already handled it in time. However, they refuse to believe me. I’ve come to remind you all to strengthen your defenses."

Xue Zhao nodded slightly, then turned to look at the cultivators who had just mocked Ye Qingchen.

The crowd felt guilty under Xue Zhao’s gaze, lowering their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.

"Who just questioned Ye Qingchen’s words?" Xue Zhao’s voice was icy, slicing through the hearts of the crowd like a blade.

The manager hurriedly stepped forward, bowing respectfully, "Lord Xue Zhao, Ye Qingchen’s words are hard to believe. I merely thought the prison’s defenses were tight, that no one could escape."

Xue Zhao let out a cold snort, a flash of anger in her eyes. "Hard to believe? Are you overconfident? Ye Qingchen never speaks without grounds. If he says so, he has his reasons."

The manager was full of shame, cold sweat forming on his forehead. "Lord Xue Zhao, I have failed in my duty. But if what he says isn’t true, wouldn’t we have wasted so much manpower and resources in vain?"

Ye Qingchen, seeing the manager still stubborn, stepped forward.

"Manager, why don’t we bet? If the person I mentioned isn’t inside now, then you resign from your manager position. If the person I mentioned is indeed inside, I’ll agree to any request you have."
