Chapter 3332: The Pavilion Master of the Purgatory Pavilion
“No!” Lei Jun was helpless when faced with the joint attack from the two Ning Dragons, especially since he was caught unprepared. The attack washed over him, killing him immediately. There were no remains at all. In this regard, the elder was slightly better off than him since there were some blood and bits of pieces left behind.
“That… Are those Ning Dragons?”
“Ling Tian, who knew you’d have such a trick up your sleeve! The joint attack of the two Ning Dragons was as powerful as that of an ordinary t.i.tled Celestial Emperor.”
The Gale Thunder Celestial Emperor, Ma Chi, and the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor, Xue Jin Hua, were surprised when they saw Duan Ling Tian releasing the Ning Dragons that killed Lei Jun with just a strike. What was most shocking was Duan Ling Tian being able to control savage Celestial Beasts such as the Ning Dragons. Moreover, the Ning Dragons were known to be stubborn, and it was almost impossible to make them submit.
“If you didn’t do stupid things, you wouldn’t have this outcome,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself after killing Lei Jun. He did not have enmity with Lei Jun until Lei Jun repeatedly tried to kill him. How could he let Lei Jun go? He had to kill Lei Jun today. After leaving today, he did not know if he would have a chance of coming back to even the score with Lei Jun. It was a pleasant coincidence that Lei Jun had also volunteered to guard the Thousand Chains Prison, presenting him with an excellent opportunity to kill Lei Jun. If he did not seize the opportunity, who knew if such an opportunity would come by again?
“Seniors, let’s leave. We can talk after leaving this place,” Duan Ling Tian said after he moved the Ning Dragons back into his Little World, “Now that two people have died, I’m sure the others will be alerted. Even if they can’t send any messages from here, the shattering of their Soul Pearls will definitely raise the alarm.”
“The man I just killed is the son of Lei Ying, the Heavenly Pool Palace’s Merciless Celestial Emperor. Once Lei Ying finds out her son is dead, she’ll definitely come to investigate immediately. It won’t take her long to arrive at the Thousand Chains Prison at that time,” Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “When she realized we broke free of the prison, she’ll definitely inform the others t.i.tled Celestial Emperor. It’s best if we leave this place before she arrives. With that, we have more time before the Palace Master and the others come after us.”
The t.i.tled Celestial Emperors agreed with Duan Ling Tian. They did not wish to face the Heavenly Pool Palace’s t.i.tled Celestial Emperors if it were possible.
“Although I’ve arranged for someone to deal with the Palace Master, the best that person can do is stall for time. Moreover, once the Palace Master discovers all of you, especially Brother Pei, have escaped, he’ll definitely inform the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven. If the Heavenly Emperor arrives before we escape, I’m afraid all of us will be killed or imprisoned.”
Since Duan Ling Tian knew even the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven could not kill these t.i.tled Celestial Emperors, the worst that could happen was for them to be imprisoned again. However, that did not apply to him. He would definitely be killed instead of being imprisoned.
“Let’s go!” Pei Yuan Ji said, leading the other prisoners out. He quickly broke the Formation at the entrance of the prison using the technique Duan Ling Tian taught him.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian planned to release the prisoners on the first floor as well. However, he changed his mind at the last minute since he was afraid it would draw more attention once they left the prison.
After leaving the prison, they continued to move without stopping. At this moment, they had arrived at the Life or Death Pavilion where the Life or Death Platform was located. Currently, there were a few people comprehending the law of death on the Life or Death Platform.
Duan Ling Tian and the others were just about to leave using the corridor that led to the Purgatory Pavilion when a few people flew out of the Life or Death Pavilion toward them.
“Hold up!”
“Who are you?!”
The two men, one old and one middle-aged, were elders from the Life or Death Pavilion.
At this point, there were more than 100 prisoners in Duan Ling Tian’s group. It was not surprising that they caught the elders’ attention.
Xuan Bing, the aloof Profound Ice Celestial Emperor, stepped forward and said, “Go back to where you came from if you don’t want to die!”
“The Profound Ice Celestial Emperor?”
The elders from the Life or Death Pavilion had guarded the prison before. It was only natural that they recognized Xuan Bing immediately.
At this moment, Ke Bai Lu, the White Deer Celestial Emperor, an old man with disheveled hair, stepped forward as well and said with a grin, “If you’re still here after ten breaths, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”
“The White Deer Celestial Emperor!”
The elders were further shocked when they saw the White Deer Celestial Emperor. For a moment, they wondered if they were dreaming? How could two of the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors imprisoned on the third floor of the prison escape?
“Let’s go. Don’t waste time here,” Pei Yuan Ji said indifferently.
It did not take long for the elders of the Life or Death Pavilion to figure out Pei Yuan Ji’s ident.i.ty. Pei Yuan Ji was standing at the lead and dared to speak to the other t.i.tled Celestial Emperors in such a manner; even if they had not seen Pei Yuan Ji before, it was not difficult to guess that the young man dressed in a long white robe was the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor.
The faces of the elders of the Life or Death Pavilion turned ashen immediately. They exchanged a look before they fled for their lives.
Meanwhile, the other elders of the Life or Death Pavilion and the prodigious disciples comprehending the law of death on the Life or Death Platform had also noticed what was happening.
“h.e.l.l has arrived in the Thousand Chains Prison!”
“The Nirvanic Celestial Emperor, the Profound Ice Celestial Emperor, and the White Deer Celestial Emperor have escaped… It’s likely the other three t.i.tled Celestial Emperors are with them as well!”
“When has the Heavenly Pool Palace’s Thousand Chains Prison encountered such a situation?”
“How did they break free?”
“Do you think they can make it past the Deadly Square?”
“The Formation in their cells aren’t that different from the Formation in the Deadly Square. If they can break the Formations in their cells, they should be able to break the Formation in Deadly Square.”
Despite the uproar in the Life or Death Pavilion, no one dared to make a move. After all, there were six t.i.tled Celestial Emperors among the group of prisoners. If they made the wrong move, they would surely die!
…
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived at the Purgatory Pavilion after leaving the Life or Death Pavilion.
There were people coming in and out of the Purgatory Pavilion at this moment. In fact, there were more people here compared to the Life or Death Pavilion.
Since there were more than 100 people in Duan Ling Tian’s group, it was inevitable that they caught people’s attention.
Duan Ling Tian and the others paid no attention to those who were staring at them in bewilderment and continued to make their way out. They made their way to the corridor that would lead them to the Deadly Square. Once they make it past the Deadly Square, they could be considered to have successfully escaped from the Thousand Chains Prison. After that, they would be free to go wherever they wanted.
‘Initially, I was worried the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors won’t fight the Heavenly Pool Palace’s t.i.tled Celestial Emperors wholeheartedly. At that time, it’d be difficult for me, Senior Lian Qiu, and Senior Du Xuan to escape unnoticed. However, it seems like I don’t have to worry about that any longer. Even if the other t.i.tled Celestial Emperors have no regard for our lives, Brother Pei will definitely help us. With Brother Pei’s presence, we should be safe unless we encounter someone who’s stronger than him…’ Duan Ling Tian finally felt more at ease after thinking about this.
Just as Duan Ling Tian had told Lei Jun earlier, he was not worried once they left the Thousand Chains Prison. He had arranged for Meng Chuan to help them and had also lured the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor away from the Heavenly Pool Palace’s estate. Among the seven t.i.tled Celestial Emperors left in the Heavenly Pool Palace, You Feng Yu, the strongest among them, would be dealt with by Meng Chuan, the Jade Bow Celestial Emperor from the Heavenly Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven. With You Feng Yu distracted, it would be easy for Pei Yuan Ji and the other t.i.tled Celestial Emperors to deal with the remaining six Heavenly Pool Palace’s t.i.tled Celestial Emperors. In fact, if Pei Yuan Ji and the other five t.i.tled Celestial Emperors worked together, the five Heavenly Pool Palace’s t.i.tled Celestial Emperors would not be a match for them at all and could only helplessly watch them escape.
Just as Duan Ling Tian and the others were about to step onto the corridor that led to the Deadly Square…
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The sound of wind howling rang in the air, heralding the arrival of more than a dozen people who were dressed in long black robes. The group was led by a middle-aged man with a cold expression on his face.
The black-clad middle-aged man arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian and the others in just a blink of an eye. He asked frostily, “Who are you?!”
Among the group of prisoners, there were quite a few of them who recognized the black-clad middle-aged man. Their eyes shone with hatred when they looked at him.
“It’s him! He’s one of the three Head Wardens in the Thousand Chains Prison! Pavilion Master Fang Qi Han of the Purgatory Pavilion!”
Most of the prisoners were tortured in the Purgatory Pavilion. Fang Qi Han, the Pavilion Master, had personally ordered for them to be tortured. Many of the prisoners did not make it out of the Purgatory Pavilion. Therefore, many of them hated him.
‘The Pavilion Master of the Purgatory Pavilion?’ Duan Ling Tian c.o.c.ked an eyebrow as he looked at the black-clad middle-aged man. He had heard that his Eldest Senior Sister disliked this man.
