Chapter 256: Chapter 255: Inviting You to Enter the Jar! (Third Update)

The complex and intricate passageways completely disoriented Yi Han and all the warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace who had rushed in.

"Senior Brother Yi Han, don’t worry, we’ll be out of these passageways very soon."

"That Lin Bai actually ran to such a place, he’s really lucky."

"Senior Brother Yi Han, we’ve wasted too much time here, it’s almost dusk now, we still have to hunt demon beasts..."

"Ah, this year’s Year-end Tail Sacrifice is really..."

"Enough, what are demon beasts and points compared to crushing the Spirit Sword Sect and glorifying the might of our Canghai Yuntai Palace!"

"You’re right, even without points, we can fight in the martial arts competition at the banquet later! Glorifying the might of our Canghai Yuntai Palace is the real deal!"

Many warriors followed Yi Han through the corridors, talking in turns.

Hearing these warriors’ conversations, Yi Han felt a surge of anger, his face full of rage and resentment.

Yi Han knew they were right, this Year-end Tail Sacrifice had been completely spoiled by Lin Bai. They had wasted too much time and could no longer hunt many demon beasts.

"Damn it, find Lin Bai for me, I’ll tear him to pieces!"

Yi Han shouted angrily.

Whoosh-

Suddenly at this moment, a white shadow flashed past in the corridor ahead.

One of the warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace had sharp eyesight, he exclaimed: "It’s Lin Bai!"

Lin Bai looked at the warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace, giving a faint smile and turned around to sprint into the passageway.

"Mad, kill this beast!" Yi Han of course recognized Lin Bai’s figure too. He immediately increased his speed and chased after Lin Bai.

Whoosh- whoosh-

One after another, the lights were dashing extremely quickly through the dark passageway.

After a few consecutive changes in passageways, the warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace once again lost sight of Lin Bai.

"Where did he go?"

"How did Lin Bai vanish again?"

"How come this guy is like a ghost, appearing now and disappearing the next."

"Senior Brother Yi Han, there’s light ahead."

A group of warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace, stared straight at the end of the corridor where there was a bright, intense glow.

"Let’s go and check it out," Yi Han was of course unafraid.

Yi Han was a remarkable warrior and genius of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, one of the Seven Kings of the inner palace. With his cultivation at the third layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, he believed in the Imperial Hunting Garden, there were only a handful who could contend against him.

At once, Yi Han, with a stride akin to a tiger’s, walked towards the place of the bright light, filled with murderous intent.

Lin Bai, hiding in the dark, saw Yi Han heading towards the dungeon.

But at that moment.

Lin Bai was surprised to find that the line of guards who were originally stationed at the entrance were gone all of a sudden.

"Where did the soldiers go?"

Lin Bai said, somewhat perplexed.

With no obstructions, Yi Han strode confidently into the dungeon.

"Someone’s coming."

"Help me."

"Brother, hurry up and save me, my father is a prince of the Ning Wangfu, I am his only son, save me and I will give you 100,000 spirit stones! You will have endless wealth and honor."

"Save me, my father is a prince from Zhang Wangfu."

"Shut up, your dads are not as badass as mine. My dad is the current Your Majesty’s Imperial Uncle, save me!"

Seeing the warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace enter the dungeon, all the imprisoned royal children began to scream as if they had seen their saviors.

The warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace and Yi Han were all stunned.

Those imprisoned here were all the crucial princelings within the territory of the Shenwu Kingdom.

Moreover, there were a few who had come to the Imperial Hunting Garden with Yi Han.

Some of them, Yi Han had visited their Princes’ Mansions when he first arrived at the Imperial Capital.

"What is going on? Who set up this private jail and incarcerated the princes and princesses!" Yi Han said in astonishment.

Just when Yi Han and the warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace were at a complete loss.

Suddenly, there was a loud boom in mid-air.

"Archers, ready!"

A robust male voice rang out, startling Yi Han from his trance.

All at once, Yi Han looked up and saw soldiers clad in armor lining the stone wall. They were drawing their bows, their sturdy weapons topped with lethal arrows. Combined with their cold gazes, the sight sent a chill through Yi Han.

This was martial prowess; it was the War Soul!

Their drawn bows weren’t for play; they were undoubtedly meant to kill the enemy in their sights.

This was a soldier’s duty.

It’s different for soldiers and warriors.

A warrior may strike for show, for glory, for personal gain.

But for a soldier, there is only one aim when they strike; to kill the target assigned to them.

"What is..."

"This..."

"Is this...the Qi family army!"

Many of the warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace recognized the dominating "Qi" character embroidered on the soldiers’ chest plates, identifying this force as that of the Imperial Capital and beyond, the Qi Family Army, whose mere name would send shivers down the spine of the Shenwu Kingdom.

The massive bows in the soldiers’ hands were drawn like a full moon, with a "pop pop" sound that seemed to signify they were prepared at any moment to release the arrow that could pierce the sky and earth, drilling through the clouds of the Nine Heavens Cloud and knocking down any divine demon outside the realm.

"Gentlemen, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"How do you like this move: Please step into the pot?"

As he spoke, Qi Fang approached with an air of calm indifference and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Commander Qi Fang!" Yi Han recognized him.

Previously, when Yi Han arrived at the Imperial Capital, he was invited by Qi Rui to be a guest at the Qi Wangfu, where he had met Qi Fang.

"Commander Qi Fang, why is this happening?" Yi Han asked with chilling composure.

Now, Yi Han dared not be complacent.

Even if he was an exceptional genius in the Canghai Yuntai Palace, even if he was known as one of the Seven Kings of the Inner Palace, it meant nothing.

In front of this pack of savage soldiers, they had no regard for one’s noble identity or high position.

They only followed orders.

Even if you were a divine spirit above the Nine Heavens.

Even if you were the son of an emperor.

As long as their leader gave the order, they would charge forward, even if the being they faced appeared divine.

This was a soldier’s duty! This was also a soldier’s supreme glory!

Qi Fang smirked coldly: "Hmm, why? Can you not figure it out?"

"Men, release the arrows!"

Qi Fang commanded coldly.

"Hold on!"

Yi Han cried out in a hurry.

Yi Han was afraid. Under these thousand arrows and powerful crossbows, even if he had the strength to reach heaven, he was likely to be shot into a sieve in an instant.

"Commander Qi Fang, I and the young master of Qi Wangfu are sworn friends. If there is any misunderstanding, please allow the young master to come out. I can only explain in person," Yi Han said calmly.

"There’s no need, the moment you stepped into this place, you walked into Yanluo Hall." Qi Fang shook his head and laughed.

As Qi Fang spoke, his face grew increasingly cold.

Seeing this, Yi Han felt his spirits plunge.

From the looks of it, Qi Fang had no intention of letting any of the warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace leave alive today.

"Qi Fang, you audacious fiend, we are warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace. If you dare kill us, aren’t you afraid of the esteemed elders of the Canghai Yuntai Palace storming the Qi Wangfu for justice?" Yi Han said indignantly.

"This is the Imperial Hunting Garden, don’t use the prestige of the Canghai Yuntai Palace to intimidate me. Sure, we dare not provoke the elders of the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

"But if all of you die here, how would the Canghai Yuntai Palace know it was us, the Qi Family, who killed you?"

Qi Fang laughed coldly, "I told you, the moment you stepped foot here today, it was as if you walked into Yama Hall. Even if you are the Heavenly King himself, don’t even think about making it out alive today!"

Hearing this, Yi Han gritted his teeth, a ferocious and hardened look flashing in his eyes.
