Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 349 Tianwu Prison
Hei Guanghan sighed and said, "You are chasing down traitors, I've come to see my three colleagues off."

The sect leader of the Hidden Sect of the Demonic Cult gracefully descended the stage. Wen Xi, Huo Feihu, and Shi Bi remained silent and surrounded Hei Guanghan. This exchange was truly exhausting and incredibly dull, with Hei Guanghan single-handedly fighting against three veteran masters without being at a disadvantage.

Sun Yanwan was initially worried that this hidden master of the Demonic Sect would suffer a great loss. After all, in the Great Lang Dynasty, although the four grandmasters were ranked equally, the Grand Tutor Wen Xi was ranked first, and the Marquis of Wu Jun Huo Feihu was ranked second. Even the question of who was stronger between him and Shi Bi was still undecided.

Even if Hei Guanghan had concealed some of his strength, he would probably still be unable to defeat three grandmasters in a one-on-one fight.

Witnessing this, Sun Yanwan was greatly relieved...

Sun Yanwan, along with Shi Si and Yang Diao'er, gave chase.

Zhang Qingxi followed, but there was a subtle sense of unease about it, and the senior brother felt a little superfluous.

The Emperor of Dalang had run several hundred feet when suddenly a powerful yet subtle fist strike, silent and deadly, attacked him. He hurriedly activated his Heavenly Martial Divine Skill to take the blow head-on, but firstly, he had to gather his strength in haste; secondly, he had internal injuries; and thirdly…

The person who made the move was of unfathomable strength, even surpassing him.

This punch sent a sweet taste down Emperor Zhang Xianwei's throat, and he spat out another mouthful of blood!

He hurriedly used the Heavenly Martial Dragon-Stepping Technique to soar into the sky, and saw a middle-aged man standing on a rooftop with an indifferent expression, seemingly uninterested in anything in the world and devoid of any emotion towards anything. The sneak attack he had just launched seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The Emperor of Dalang felt a sudden tremor in his heart.

Although the middle-aged man was alone, he was more afraid of Zhang Yuanqiao and Kong Chan than when he saw them.

It's impossible to measure!
After all, this person is a peerless master of our time!

Originally, the three greatest masters in the world were: the Great Master Ku, the old master of Youjian Manor, Mu Xianyuan, and the ancestor of the Dalang Dynasty.

The three greatest masters in the world today are: Zen Master Da Ku, Mu Xianyuan, the former master of Youjian Villa, and Yang Wuji, the leader of the Demonic Sect.

It was none other than Yang Wuji, the leader of the Demonic Sect, who had graced us with his presence.

Yang Wuji made a single move, then stood with his hands behind his back, not pursuing the emperor, watching him flee into the distance, seemingly quite relaxed.

Sun Yanwan saw the man from afar, lowered her voice, and asked, "Little Diao'er! If I go up and call him Father-in-law, will he beat me up?"

Yang Diao'er chuckled and said, "You're welcome to give it a try!"

Sun Yanwan was still a bit timid. He wasn't afraid at first, but after eating Yang Diao'er, he became somewhat fearful.

His lightness skill was also quite good; he caught up in the blink of an eye. As he passed by Yang Wuji, he respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Sect Leader Yang!"

Yang Wuji completely ignored him, and an invisible wall of energy emanated from his body, repelling Sun Yanwan. While still in mid-air, he changed his address: "This son-in-law greets Father-in-law."

When he landed on the ground, he immediately felt that the invisible wall of energy in front of him had disappeared. He quickly reached out and grabbed Yang Diao'er's small hand, and the two of them turned sideways to pass by.

He didn't dare ask why Yang Wuji didn't pursue and kill the Emperor of Dalang.

It's really hard to say whether Yang Wuji wants to kill the Emperor of Da Lang first or him first.

He was definitely going to kill this old man. They had already fallen out, and if he didn't kill the emperor, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life.

The Emperor of Dalang suffered repeated severe injuries, especially from Yang Wuji's punch imbued with the Heavenly Demon Art. The force of the punch entered his body like a continuously growing demonic embryo, devouring his inner energy and destroying all his life force. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Xianwei was absolutely confident that, with the Zhang family's Heavenly Martial Divine Art, he could suppress his injuries within a few days and fully recover within half a month. But now, where did he find the luxury of such a feat?

He didn't know how long the three loyal ministers could hold out.
The emperor of Dalang felt a slight panic, thinking to himself, "Where can I find any help?"

"We can't just abandon the throne and, as emperors, flee Luoyang, can we?"

He turned around by chance, but only saw Sun Yanwan, Shi Si, Yang Diao'er and Zhang Qingxi. He didn't see Zhang Yuanqiao, the monk Kongchan and Yang Wuji, the three "big troubles". Instead of being happy, he was surprised. These three hadn't caught up with him, so they must be waiting for him ahead.

The Emperor of Dalang suddenly stopped, as if he had vanished.

Sun Yanwan used the Wind Riding Technique to catch up. With a palm strike, a wall collapsed, revealing a dark passage. They didn't know which palace they had chased into. There was actually a hidden door in the palace wall.

Sun Yanwan hesitated slightly. He didn't want to follow, in case the situation inside the secret door was complicated and there was some kind of ambush.

Zhang Qingxi gracefully passed by and said, "This maze only leads to You'an Palace. Let Shi Si and Yang Diao'er stay behind, and we'll go ahead to intercept them."

Sun Yanwan immediately felt relieved and used her lightness skill to follow.

The Emperor of Dalang is already injured, so even if the two brothers join forces, they are not afraid of this formidable enemy.

The two had just rushed to another nearby palace when they heard a shrill scream. Sun Yanwan accelerated and rushed over, only to see the Emperor of Da Lang fleeing in panic, spitting blood continuously, with no enemies in sight.

Sun Yanwan didn't know who had made the move, and thought to herself, "I wonder, who ambushed him, Master, Master Kongchan, or Father-in-law?"

"But why aren't they showing up?"

"What's with the mysticism?"

The Emperor of Dalang hadn't run far before his figure disappeared again.

Without saying a word, Zhang Qingxi led Sun Yanwan straight to another exit of the secret passage.

They arrived at a place that resembled a wealthy family's residence, and from afar they heard the Great Lang Emperor shouting wildly. The emperor rushed out of the secret passage, his body covered in blood, and one of his arms was broken off, leaving only his right hand.

Sun Yanwan and Zhang Qingxi chased after him, and each time they saw the Great Lang Emperor being ambushed, and each time the Great Lang Emperor was more seriously injured.

As Zhang Qingxi and Sun Yanwan hurried towards their next destination, Zhang Qingxi suddenly frowned and said, "The place ahead is actually Tianwu Prison?"

Sun Yanwan asked, "What kind of place is Tianwu Prison?"

Zhang Qingxi said calmly, "The place where martial arts practitioners are imprisoned is also the most heavily guarded and most mysterious place in our Great Lang Dynasty."

Sun Yanwan asked in a low voice, "What was he doing at Tianwu Prison?"

Zhang Qingxi remained silent. He didn't know why his father had gone to Tianwu Prison.
When he was learning martial arts from Zhang Yuanqiao, he heard his teacher say that Feng Laozu had tried to break into Tianwu Prison several times, but failed each time. After returning to Luojing from Taiyi Temple, he inquired about it several times, but each time he received the same answer: "There is no Tianwu Prison in the Dalang Dynasty."

It wasn't until after he was promoted to Grandmaster that he was qualified to peruse the royal archives. Only then did Zhang Qingxi discover some clues about the Tianwu Prison in some old documents and deduce where the Tianwu Prison was, but he had never been there before.

Even Zhang Qingxi was not entirely clear about the mystery of this Tianwu Prison. He only knew that only the deceased Crown Prince and his second brother, whom he had just killed, were qualified to come into contact with this place.
