At Penglai Prison.
Yin Shaohua was being kept there.
From the surface, Penglai Faction was a place surrounded by beautiful scenery. Beneath it, lay a giant underground prison. There were at least 80 to 100 people being locked up here. Almost all of them received some form of torturing. Wounds and scabs cloaked their bodies, and they were soiled with so much filth that they could no longer be recognized as humans. There was nothing they could do except to wait for death to come upon them.
Chen Xiaobei and Fang Zi’er were both locked up in the last cell.
“Who are all these people?” asked Chen Xiaobei.
“Mr. Chen… This is not the time to ask a question like this… This is my first time here as well…”
Fang Zi’er was like a deflated balloon. It seemed like he had given up on life.
“Let me tell you about this place…”
The prisoner beside their cell suddenly spoke up. His voice was croaky and weak. Seemingly, he was an old man that was about to die soon. His face and his body were blackened like charcoal, as if he had been badly burnt. On closer inspection, the dark spots on his body were not burns, but they were dried blotches of blood that had been left on his body for a long time. Judging by his deplorable state, everyone incarcerated here must have received all kinds of inhumane treatment.
Ding!

After using his Netherspirit Battlescouter to check on the old man, Chen Xiaobei realized that he was actually not that weak. Unfortunately, after enduring all kinds of heinous torture, he was only left with a one year lifespan.
“Everyone who are locked up here are Yin Family’s enemies… We all know something that they want to know… They gave us two options… Either confess and have a quick death… Or get tortured till we speak up and then still die…”
“Are you trying to tell me that there have been a lot of who have died here before?” asked Chen Xiaobei.
“There were at least 800 to 1,000 who died in this prison… Didn’t you notice that the Yin Qi here is rather concentrated? We will turn into evil spirits after we all die here… We will make sure we stay on this island and curse their families forever and ever…”
“You are right…”
Chen Xiaobei took a look around and sensed that the Yin Qi around him was extremely thick. However, he did not manage to spot a single evil spirit.
“So… Prepare yourself… It’s my turn to die today… After that, it will be your turn to die…”
The old man uttered his last sentence and collapsed on the ground, breathing his last tormented breath.
“No… No way… Yin Shaohua promised that he will let us go…” said Fang Zi’er in a fearful manner while gulping.
“Ha… Hahaha… That’s the funniest joke I ever heard… This is the prison of death! They will never let you leave this place no matter what! The sun will rise from the west if Yin Shaohua agrees to let you guys walk out of here unscathed!” said one of the prisoners.
“This…”
Suddenly, the look on Fang Zi’er face changed drastically.
“No… This is impossible… I refuse to believe this!”
“Hehe… Wait until the warden drags you out for torture… By that time, you will realize that it’s impossible for you to become a free man again! He is famous his fancy torture techniques! You two pieces of fresh meat will turn into rotting meat once he is done with the both of you!”
“I… I don’t want to die yet!!!” cried Fang Zi’er.
“Stop shouting! Grow up! If I can bring you here, then I can bring you out from this place unharmed too!” said Chen Xiaobei.
At that time, Fang Zi’er could no longer pay attention to the things Chen Xiaobei had told him.
“Shit… Shit… Yin Shaohua is a despicable bastard… He will definitely break his promise… We are so dead this time…”
“Just face your reality… There’s no way the two of you can walk out from this prison…”
“Save some of your strength… The warden here will treat you ‘well’ later…”
“Or, you can choose to confess and have a quick death…”
All the prisoners around gave the same quick answer. Though it might have sounded unpleasant, they were merely telling the truth. Upon hearing all the comments, Fang Zi’er really wanted to end his life immediately right where he was.
“Hehe… Or! You guys can beg me to let you out of this place! I might just save everyone here if I get to leave!” said Chen Xiaobei in a calm tone.
“What?!”
Everyone was taken aback when they heard Chen Xiaobei’s statement.
“Are you crazy… You can’t even take care of yourself and you have the nick to say something like that?! Do you really think that we are dumb enough to believe you?!”
“That’s right! Don’t blame us for not reminding you! The warden is an elite at the later phase of Celestial cultivation! He has a total of 110,000 combat power! I really think you shouldn’t engage him!”
“Young man… I don’t care how powerful your family is! You might be able to do whatever you like at certain places… but being locked up inside this place will let you realize that living is a worse fate than death!”
Everyone around Chen Xiaobei did not believe a single word he had just said. Of course, they had every reason not to. If Chen Xiaobei was powerful enough to simply walk out of this place, why would he have allowed them to lock him up anyway?
“Everyone just shut up!”
Suddenly, an arrogant voice could be heard from the entrance of the prison.
“Seems like everyone is really energetic today! I will let you guys have a lick of my fancy torture later!”
“The warden is here… Be quiet…”
Immediately, none of them dared say another word.
The warden lifted his head high and walked into the deepest part of the prison.
“No way… I hope that sicko with 110,000 combat power is not coming to us…” said Fang Zi’er in a low voice.
“Good evening to the two of you! I was just about to have my dinner just now when Master Hua told me to come and say hi to the two of you!” the warden smirked with a grin.
Sii…
“Yin Shaohua, that bastard! He is a real hypocrite!” scolded Fang Zi’er unconsciously.
“You son of a bitch! How dare you scold our Master Hua! Let me start with you! I will cut your tongue out!”
“No… Please don’t do it…”
Fang Zi’er quickly realized that he just said something he shouldn’t have said. Tears started to well up in his eyes.
“What a sissy! I can’t believe you cried when I mentioned that I’m going to cut your tongue out! I think there’s a high chance that you will be scared to death later!”
“The whole thing will not be fun anymore if you scare him to death!”
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei walked towards the warden.
“How would you like to play? You can actually start from me!”
