War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3333: Arriving at the Deadly Square

“The Pavilion Master of the Purgatory Pavilion?” Pei Yuan Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at the black-clad middle-aged man before he said with a hint of ridicule, “What a show of power.”

Although Pei Yuan Ji’s voice was not loud, his voice was transmitted to everyone’s ears.

Fang Qi Han, the Pavilion Master of the Purgatory Pavilion, turned to look at the source of the voice, and his expression changed drastically when he saw Pei Yuan Ji. ‘Isn’t this the person whom the Palace Master failed to defeat 200 years ago? In the end, the Palace Master even sought help from the Heavenly Emperor to capture him! Most importantly, even the Heavenly Emperor could only capture him; he could not kill him at all!’

Fang Qi Han had recognized Pei Yuan Ji with just a look because back then he had been the one who escorted the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven when the Heavenly Emperor brought Pei Yuan Ji to the third floor of the Thousand Chains Prison.

Pei Yuan Ji scoffed softly before the air around Fang Qi Han began to ripple.

At the same time, mustard energy rolled out from Pei Yuan Ji’s body toward Fang Qi Han and his men before they could even react.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“This is bad!”

“How powerful!”

“Run!”

The expressions of Fang Qi Han and his men changed drastically as they defended against the raging energy that had been boosted with the law of earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The elders from the Purgatory Pavilion cast all the techniques they had in their arsenal in a flurry. There were all kinds of laws and techniques that could be seen. There was even the law of death, one of the Four Supreme Laws. Despite the storm-like attacks, they were useless against Pei Yuan Ji’s formidable mustard energy.

On the contrary, while the elders of the Purgatory Pavilion defended themselves, Fang Qi Han, the Pavilion Master of the Purgatory Pavilion, cried out hastily, “Lord Pei, please show mercy! I’ll leave with my men immediately! Please, Lord Pei!”

At this moment, Fang Qi Han, the Pavilion Master of the Purgatory Pavilion and one of the three Head Wardens of the Thousand Chains Prison, was reduced to begging like a dog.

Alas, the terrifying energy showed no sign of weakening. In fact, it grew even stronger.

“No!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fang Qi Han and his men cried out in despair when the energy finally crashed on them.

The earth quaked and the air rippled as the energy landed on the members of the Purgatory Pavilion.

Everyone still had yet to regain their senses when the energy vanished into thin air as though it was never there at all, to begin with. If it were not for the cloud of blood mist that hung in the air and the Spatial Rings that were falling to the ground, they would have thought they had imagined the one-sided killing earlier.

‘He has such terrifying and precise control over his strength.’ Duan Ling Tian was similarly shocked. His respect and admiration grew even more after witnessing this. Previously, he knew Pei Yuan Ji was strong, but he did not know the extent of Pei Yuan Ji’s strength after all. Pei Yuan Ji had easily killed Fang Qi Han who was close to being a titled Celestial Emperor and all his subordinates!

Even Lian Qiu who was cradling the white Phantom Fox in his arms could not help but gulp. He looked at Pei Yuan Ji with eyes shining with admiration after he regained his senses. He had fought with Fang Qi Han previously so he was aware of Fang Qi Han’s strength. However, an opponent whom he found rather formidable was like a defenseless baby in front of Pei Yuan Ji! How could he not admire Pei Yuan Ji?

“Let’s go,” Pei Yuan Ji said indifferently as everyone looked at him in awe.

Everyone followed Pei Yuan Ji unquestioningly as he led them to the corridor.

At this moment, some of those who were being tortured by Fang Qi Han and his men in the Purgatory Pavilion managed to free themselves of their restraints. They followed Pei Yuan Ji and the others without any hesitation.

“Let’s follow Senior Pei!”

Meanwhile, the other elders from the Purgatory Pavilion could only watch as the prisoners escaped. After witnessing what happened to their peers and their Pavilion Master, how could they have the courage to stop these prisoners from leaving? If the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor was displeased, they would surely die! All of them were relieved they did not follow the Pavilion Master to stop the prisoners from leaving earlier. Otherwise, they would have died as well.

When traveling through the corridor, Duan Ling Tian sent a Voice Transmission to Lian Qiu. “Senior Lian Qiu, after we get out of the Thousands Chains Prison, we’ll leave with Brother Pei…”

“Alright,” Lian Qiu responded. There was a hint of appreciation and acknowledgment when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. After a moment, he asked through Voice Transmission, “Is my daughter… Is she alright?”

“Yes. She’s good.” Duan Ling Tian smiled when Lian Qiu mentioned Huan’er. A hint of tenderness could be seen in his eyes as he said, “She wanted to come along, but I made her stay in the mundane realm I came from since it’s so dangerous here. If we manage to escape, I’ll bring you and Senior Du Xuan to the mundane realm to look for her.”

“Alright.” Lian Qiu nodded as his eyes flashed in anticipation. Then, he turned to look at the white Phantom Fox that was still unconscious in his arms and murmured, “Xuan’er, we’ll reunite with our daughter soon. Not only will you see our daughter again, but you’ll be able to meet our son-in-law as well… He’s a remarkable young man. I’m pleased with our daughter’s choice, and I’m sure you’ll be pleased as well…”

Although Lian Qiu did not spend much time with Duan Ling Tian, he had a favorable impression of Duan Ling Tian. Just the fact that Duan Ling Tian was not willing to endanger his daughter’s life and came to save them alone was more than enough for him to acknowledge Duan Ling Tian.

When they were almost at the end of the corridor, Ma Chi, the Gale Thunder Celestial Emperor, said with a grin, “I wonder if we’ll encounter anyone ignorant enough to seek death? Xuan Bing, Old Pei, if someone stops us after this, leave them to me. After being imprisoned for so long, I’m itching for a fight!”

Ke Bai Lu, the White Deer Celestial Emperor, chimed in, “You are not the only one! I’m itching for a fight as well!”

“Alright, alright. Old Pei and Xuan Bing can watch while we take them on!” Ma Chi said happily.

Although they were escaping with ease now, everyone knew this was because they were still in the Thousand Chains Prison. After all, there were no titled Celestial Emperors guarding the Thousand Chains Prison. They knew it would no longer be so easy once they left the Thousand Chains Prison.

When the group of prisoners arrived at the Deadly Square, the elders there, naturally, noticed them immediately. Those with better eyesight zeroed in on Pei Yuan Ji who was leading the group immediately.

“That’s Pei Yuan Ji, the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor! How did he escape?!”

Once the elders saw Pei Yuan Ji, they did not dare to stop the group from leaving at all. They knew the outcome of stopping the group of people would only be death. Pei Yuan Ji was so powerful that the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace could not even defeat him.

“Wait! Isn’t that Duan Ling Tian? The Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor’s seventh prodigious disciple? He’s Head Warden Xu’s Little Junior Brother as well! Why is he with Pei Yuan Ji? It doesn’t look like he’s being held hostage. In fact, they look very well acquainted!”

“Don’t tell me Duan Ling Tian came here to rescue Pei Yuan Ji?”

“Is he capable of such a feat?”

“Otherwise, how else would you explain what’s happening? If he didn’t set Pei Yuan Ji free, how could Pei Yuan Ji be here? Look! The other five titled Celestial Emperors are there as well!”

“Heavens! All the titled Celestial Emperors imprisoned on the third floor have escaped!”

“The Thousand Chains Prison is about to go to hell!”

“Should we report this?”

“Report this? If you dare to make any movement now, I’m afraid you’d be killed before you can even react. If you don’t believe me, you can try…”

“Nevermind then…”

There were not many elders at the Deadly Square anyway. When this small group of elders saw Pei Yuan Ji and the other prisoners leaving, they did not even dare to move, let alone stop them.

“Hey, isn’t this too easy?” Ma Chi, the Gale Thunder Celestial Emperor, said defeatedly when he saw no one stopped them from leaving. “The people at the Deadly Square are worse than the people from the Purgatory Pavilion!”

Ke Bai Lu, the White Deer Celestial Emperor, said, “You mean those at the Deadly Square are much smarter than those at the Purgatory Pavilion.”

“Alright, stop chatting. We have to be on alert from now on. Once we break the Formation in the Deadly Square and leave the Thousand Chains Prison, we’ll have to face the Heavenly Pool Palace’s titled Celestial Emperors,” Xue Jin Hua, the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor, said, “No one is alerted of our escape yet since the people here would need to physically leave this place to alert the others. The only way someone outside knows something is wrong in here is if they noticed the shattered Soul Pearls of those we killed. However, once we break the Formation here, the Formation outside will alert the others of the broken Formation in the Deadly Square. There’s no doubt the Heavenly Pool Palace’s titled Celestial Emperors will make their way here after that. We’ll probably meet them after we leave the Thousand Chains Prison.”
