Invincible Soul Emperor

"You may not know this, but we have eighteen layers of barriers just on the outer layer here. Inside is beyond imagination; forget a person, even a fly couldn’t get out once it’s in!"

The Prison Warden grabbed Ye Qingchen and boastfully pointed at the barrier outside.

The barrier was indeed strong, Ye Qingchen could feel it.

But the key point was that he clearly saw Zheng Xiao yesterday, so no matter how secure the prison, surely there must be times of lapse!

Luckily, he had spent the past few days in closed-door cultivation, stabilizing his realm considerably. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly fallen into a trap last night.

"Is there any possibility that your barrier can’t resist Demonic Qi? I clearly saw someone who had gone inside come out yesterday!"

As soon as Ye Qingchen said this, the people following behind the Prison Warden burst into laughter.

"This kid, doesn’t he look down on our Xue Family too much? Forget Demonic Qi, even if a deity came, they wouldn’t necessarily get out from inside!"

"Yeah, yeah! Demonic Qi indeed, even if there was more Demonic Qi, it would still want to escape ours. Last night we stood guard together, forget Demonic Qi, we didn’t even see a shadow."

"I think this brother must have been seeing things, or maybe dreaming. Brother, you are a guest of our Xue Family, aren’t you aware of our family’s strength?"

"Haha, if this kid really doesn’t believe it, let him go in and experience it. Let’s see if he can escape once he’s locked in!"

...

This group of people joked around with Ye Qingchen.

Even the Prison Warden couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Brother, if you really want to go in and experience it, I can fulfill that wish for you. Hmm, let me give you half a day, mainly because you’re not our guest, we can play around with you a bit!"

Ye Qingchen frowned as he watched, these people weren’t taking him seriously at all.

This prison, hearing it on the surface, was somewhat similar to the Zheng Family’s prison, yet it was a hundred times stronger.

At the Zheng Family, it would also be a bit difficult for Ye Qingchen to come out, let alone in this prison.

So, how did Zheng Xiao get out?

"Folks, I don’t want you to entertain me, I just want to check if the people inside are still there."

Ye Qingchen had no solution for these people.

Upon hearing this, the group burst into laughter again.

"Little brother, not to be insulting, but we’ve explained it clearly to you. There are definitely people inside! If even one person was missing, we’d notice immediately!"

"Exactly, exactly. Little brother, why don’t you let our Xue Family’s physician take a look, see if there’s something wrong with you?"

"I think it must be an eye problem."

"No, no, I think this little brother must have a brain problem, causing hallucinations."

...

That group mocked Ye Qingchen, the Prison Warden still had a smiling demeanor.

"Little brother, the ones imprisoned here are heavy criminals, not just anyone can see them. The earlier suggestion to let you experience it was just a joke. To see prisoners here, a command from our Xue Family is required! So, little brother, we’re not trying to make things difficult for you."

The crowd surrounded Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen looked at them disdainfully, unable to help but sigh.

"Is there really no other way?"

"If someone really important to you is in there, you can apply to the higher-ups, but the application process is certainly slow. You might want to find the Family Head directly, although I doubt the Family Head deals with these matters..."

The Prison Warden murmured in front of Ye Qingchen for quite a while.

Ye Qingchen looked at the prison defenses in front of him, pondering solutions involuntarily.

If he were to break in directly, with so many people here, especially being the Xue Family, it would certainly be impossible.

But if he didn’t break in and tried to sneak in instead, that’s even more impractical, not to mention the 18 layers of barriers outside, with alarms sounding everywhere inside.

A slight misstep would likely get him caught by these people, the failure rate was as high as ninety-nine percent!

Is he really going to abandon this matter?

Who knows when Zheng Xiao will come back!

The Demonic Qi on her is not ordinary. God knows what she’ll pull off next time they meet?

If next time he doesn’t have defenses up in time, who knows what might happen with Zheng Xiao.

Moreover, since being injured by Jiang Qi last time, running into such strong Demonic Qi might have unpredictable reactions.

"Little brother, little brother, if you have nothing to do, don’t stand here daydreaming. This isn’t a place for wandering around, the Xue Family has many places to stroll. The scenery is much better than here, if there’s no business, it’s best to go back."

The Prison Warden waved to him.

Ye Qingchen could only sigh at this motion, seems he must look for another opportunity.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Before he could say anything, the Prison Warden quickly ran over when seeing the figure.

"Oh my! Oh my! Lord Xue Wei, what brings you here? You didn’t even inform us! Look, we weren’t prepared!"

The smile on the Warden’s face bloomed seeing the figure.

Xue Wei glanced at him, then at Ye Qingchen beside him.

"Warden, gathering so many people here to fool around, are you also wanting to be locked inside for an experience?"

Upon hearing this, everyone closed their mouths and hurried back to their posts in fear.

The Warden suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"No, no, Lord Xue Wei, you misunderstood, you misunderstood. These folks were just about to change shifts, and we suddenly encountered this, someone wants to see the people inside, and we just stood here for a few words."

The Warden pointed to Ye Qingchen beside him.

Xue Wei turned his body towards Ye Qingchen finally.

"This foreigner, our Xue Family’s prison is not easily accessible, but you seem familiar to me. What’s your name?"

Xue Wei only knows of Ye Qingchen, yet has never seen Ye Qingchen.

So at first sight of Ye Qingchen, he just feels it’s him but still wants confirmation.

Ye Qingchen nodded slightly towards him: "My name is Ye Qingchen."

Hearing Ye Qingchen’s confirmed reply, a smile appeared on Xue Wei’s face.

"I wondered who it was, turns out it’s Brother Ye. Sorry for earlier, I thought someone was causing trouble."
