Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Tai Chi Boxing Sect Leader - Outer Prison Master

"""

"Slap!"

Xiao Zheng directly gave him a slap on the head, cursing, "Just tell me, does this person exist or not?"

The poor Lei Tianhu, almost two meters tall, innocently rubbed the lump on his head.

"Dean, I don’t know if I should ask some questions?"

"Speak."

Lei Tianhu lit a cigarette, looked around nervously, and said softly, "Not to hide it from you, Eight-faced Buddha is a taboo around here."

"Taboo? What kind of taboo?"

"Our Red Prison is divided into two levels, the outer and inner prisons. The outer prison, as you see now, seems calm but is fraught with peril. Just the experts of the outer prison add up to thousands.

And most of them are very strong. Take me, for example; in this outer prison, I can only be considered mediocre at best.

As for Eight-faced Buddha you mentioned, he is in the inner prison, and the experts in there are even more terrifying!"

"Every single one of them is a killing machine; no one in the outer prison dares to provoke them!"

"Oh? So, this inner prison is much more interesting than the outer one," Xiao Zheng said, smiling.

Upon hearing this, Lei Tianhu nearly choked on his smoke, his eyes wide as he said, "Interesting? That place can kill you for real! We might live by a cruel survival rule in this outer prison, but at least we are alive.

In contrast, the inner prison is different. Almost no one who challenges the inner prison lives to tell the tale!

Over the years, numerous strong individuals from the outer prison have challenged the experts of the inner prison, but they all paid with their lives and now rest here forever."

"Where is this inner prison?"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up; he was already starving for this inner prison.

"The inner prison is right beneath our feet," Lei Tianhu said, stamping on the ground.

"Underground?"

"Yes, right below us. Even though the inner prison is frightening, it is definitely where all inmates of the outer prison yearn to be."

"With such a high mortality rate, there are still people who want to go to the inner prison?"

Xiao Zheng didn’t understand.

Knowing full well the dangers of the inner prison, they still longed for it.

Lei Tianhu took another puff of his cigarette, smiling bitterly as he said, "Although the inner prison is extremely dangerous, the resources there are much better than ours. Look at us, the prisoners of the outer prison; which one of us isn’t like a lost soul, just a walking corpse?

We only eat a few meals a week, always staving off hunger with water, living a life worse than death, and still facing the threat of death every day. Rather than living like this, it’s better to take a chance in the inner prison, who knows, maybe you’ll succeed?"

At this, Lei Tianhu’s expression was very despondent.

Almost all prisoners sent to Red Prison had seen the end of their lives.

They might as well forget about ever stepping out of this iron gate.

If death is inevitable either way, why live a life worse than pigs and dogs in the harsh conditions of the outer prison?

Why not take a chance in the inner prison?

After a simple inquiry, Xiao Zheng realized that this inner prison was both a place where lives ended and a place of unrestrained freedom.

For these walking corpses, it was both a holy land and a passage through Hell...

Of course, there were also those who knew they lacked the strength and preferred to cling to life, no matter how desperate.

"So, to enter the inner prison, one must issue a challenge?"

Xiao Zheng exhaled a ring of smoke slowly and asked, "What must be done to challenge the experts of the inner prison then?"

This was a matter of great concern to Xiao Zheng.

Lei Tianhu took a fierce drag of his cigarette, sucking the last bit of tobacco from the stub. "There are two ways: one is the annual ceremony where challenges to the inner prison are issued, but it’s already passed for this year. The second is to defeat the number one expert of the outer prison to qualify to enter the inner prison."

Then he said gravely, "In the many years I’ve been in Red Prison, I’ve only seen one person defeat the top-ranked of the outer prison. And that person has not set foot in the inner prison to this day."

"Who is he?"

"It is the current number one of the outer prison, Zhang Tianfeng. The Sect Leader of Tai Chi Boxing!" Lei Tianhu said seriously, "Zhang Tianfeng, the Sect Leader of Hua Xia Jiangzhou Tai Chi Boxing, was impetuous in his youth and enjoyed martial arts competitions, accidentally killing someone in the process.

As a result, his enemies sought revenge and killed his son while he was away. In his grief, he wiped out his enemies’ entire clan with his bare hands, slaughtering seventy-two lives in one night!"

As he said this, Lei Tianhu’s eyes showed fear, and he became lost in memories, "When he was exiled to Red Prison, he was in the same transport as I was. Some fool inadvertently offended him and ended up being beaten into a human stick!"

"""

As the words "human stick" reached his ears, even Lei Tianhu couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.

"Later on, we both entered the Red Prison together," he said. "This guy had a smoldering grudge within him, and it just so happened that the then current number one figure of the outer prison was too arrogant, angering him. This guy wiped out the previous Outer Prison Master in less than five moves!"

"Then why didn’t he enter the inner prison? Was his strength insufficient?"

Xiao Zheng frowned.

Clearly, the experts of the Red Prison were more ferocious than he had imagined.

Lei Tianhu let out a wry laugh and, looking outside the courtyard, said, "With his strength, he could probably rank in the top ten among the masters of the inner prison!"

"I guess he enjoys the position of the Outer Prison Master too much to leave it."

Lei Tianhu gave two bitter laughs, his rough face making a frightening smile.

Xiao Zheng nodded.

As he had said, no matter how good the inner prison was, it was still a prison.

Besides, there were even stronger masters within the inner prison. Entering would mean nothing more than submitting to someone else, so why not stay as the master of the outer prison?

"Since that’s the case, I also want to taste what it’s like to be the Outer Prison Master."

Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

At these words, Lei Tianhu shuddered all over.

Though Xiao Zheng’s martial arts were better than his, Zhang Tianfeng was simply a monster!

Almost unbeatable!

However, he didn’t feel it was his place to say anything.

Soon, it was time for breakfast.

Here, they only provided breakfast twice a week.

And each breakfast was particularly scarce.

Barely enough for five or six normal people’s appetites.

As the master of the fifth courtyard, Lei Tianhu used to enjoy different treatment, taking a large portion for himself.

And the rest had to be shared among a dozen people in the small courtyard.

You can imagine how cruel it was!

Now that Xiao Zheng had become the master here, as breakfast was served, everyone huddled in the corner trembling and gazing eagerly at him.

Even Lei Tianhu, the former master of the courtyard, didn’t dare take a step out of line!

"What are you all looking at? Come and eat with me," Xiao Zheng said helplessly watching them.

But no one dared to move at Lei Tianhu’s behest.

"So my words don’t count?"

Xiao Zheng’s gaze turned cold, and he shot Lei Tianhu a sideways glance.

Frightened, everyone hurried over.

Xiao Zheng divided the food into more than a dozen portions, ensuring everyone had at least a bite to eat.

Small the portions might be, but how many people had not tasted breakfast in so many years!

While others ate by the bowlful, they ate grain by grain, fearing to waste a single piece of rice!

"Dean Xiao, you are truly kind."

The twin sisters held a ball of rice in their hands, their eyes full of gratitude.

You must understand that in such a cruel environment, a new master of the courtyard would typically establish authority by killing someone.

And him? He even gave them food...

The resources here were so scarce that it drove people to eat grass.

Originally, this was a grassland, but driven by desperation, the grass was eaten, leaving behind the desolate Yellow Earth Plain of today.
