Chapter 114 Entering the Dungeon
The most magnificent building in Wuhun City is the Pope's Palace.
Surrounding the Pope's Palace are equally tall buildings.
These buildings are the central offices responsible for the operation of the entire Spirit Hall.
However, in front of an inconspicuous three-story building among these buildings, there is a heavy guard.
There are three soul masters guarding the gate alone, and their soul power has reached the 40th level of soul master.
At this time, the three Soul Sect members were talking to each other.
"Tell me, where did His Holiness the Pope get this little girl from? He even imprisoned her in the dungeon. Could it be that she has committed some kind of treason?"
"What treason? The girl looks like she is only 16 or 17 years old. What crime can she commit at such a young age? I'm afraid she just made His Holiness the Pope unhappy and was temporarily imprisoned here."
"You all should keep your mouth shut. Do you think you can guess what the Pope is thinking? I have already heard what the Bishop has told me. That person is a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Being detained here is only temporary, and we will be transferred to another place in due course."
The three soul masters talked to each other, and the soul master who seemed to be the leader finished speaking and directed the other two to patrol elsewhere.
"Okay, I'll be on guard here, and you two will go to the southwest and northeast corners. Keep your eyes open, because the prisoners here are all serious criminals.
Now is the time of the competition, maybe some accomplices will take advantage of the chaos to sneak in and break into the prison. If a prisoner escapes, neither you nor I will be in trouble!"
"Yes!"
"Understood, Boss Xue."
The two nodded in response, their playful expressions became much more serious, and then they separated and walked towards the surrounding areas of the building.
Just at this moment, a light sound of footsteps came from not far away.
"Who?"
Upon hearing the voice, Boss Xue immediately looked towards the source of the voice vigilantly, his aura gradually rising. Once there was any sign of trouble, he would launch an attack.
"it's me."
A slightly immature voice came.
Tang San slowly walked out from the darkness.
"who are you?"
Boss Xue looked at the unfamiliar Tang San and searched his mind, but he had never seen this person before.
"You don't even recognize who I am? How did the Spirit Hall teach you lowly servants!"
Tang San frowned, looking very angry.
When Boss Xue saw this, his heart tightened.
The person in front of me looks young and has a strong aura, and gives people a faint sense of oppression.
He had only seen such feelings in those high-ranking officials.
Could it be that he is the son of some adult?
Thinking of this, he asked tentatively with a slightly respectful attitude:
"I am a little stupid and don't know who you are. Please tell me clearly so as not to offend you."
"Humph, this is really troublesome. Watch out."
Tang San snorted coldly, then threw out a token.
Boss Xue took it subconsciously, took a closer look, and was immediately shocked.
"This is... the Honorary Elder!"
Seeing this, he immediately held the token in both hands and handed it back, saying respectfully:
"So you are the honorary elder. I was blind and did not recognize you. I beg for your forgiveness."
"Alright, ignorance is not a crime. I'll let you go this time and it won't happen again."
Tang San didn't want to waste too much time again, after taking back the token, he continued:
"Is this the entrance to the dungeon? Take me in, I want to meet someone."
Hearing this, Boss Xue was a little confused.
There haven't been any prisoners here for a long time, the most recent being that girl.
It seemed like the other party had never been here before, and suddenly came today. Could it be for her?
Before he could figure it out, Tang San's urging voice rang out.
"What are you still doing?"
"Ah, I will take you to the dungeon right away."
Without thinking too much, Boss Xue turned around, took out the key and opened the door. Then he stood at the door and gestured for someone to come in.
Tang San glanced at Boss Xue, then walked into the building steadily.
This is not a real entrance, it is more like a guard room or something like that.
"My lord, please come this way."
Boss Xue followed closely, and then led Tang San into a downward passage.
The passage is very long, but it is inlaid with soul guides that can illuminate on both sides, so it does not look gloomy.
After walking about fifty meters, Tang San smelled the stench of rotting leaves and blood.
Boss Xue walked in front leading the way, but he felt more and more suspicious in his heart.
He asked with a calm smile:
"My Lord, I wonder which prisoner you want to see. The prisoners we have here are all extremely heinous criminals. They are brutal and will inevitably scare you."
Hearing this, Tang San glanced at the end of the passage and said slowly:
"Have you detained a young girl recently?"
"Yes. It was delivered yesterday."
Boss Xue's heart moved, it was just as he had guessed.
"Yes, that's her. Take me there." Tang San nodded.
"Um... Sir, His Holiness the Pope said that the prisoner is a key criminal and no one can visit her. If you want to visit her, please obtain the Pope's approval. Otherwise, I can't do anything about it."
Boss Xue said this with some embarrassment, but he glanced at Tang San secretly.
"Really? Why haven't I heard of such a thing?"
Tang San pretended to be calm and looked at Boss Xue with cold eyes.
"Well, then, it is possible that I heard it wrong."
When Boss Xue saw Tang San's eyes, he was so scared that he lowered his head and his voice trembled.
He was also convinced of Tang San's identity.
He said that this was indeed a fabrication, and his purpose was to test the other party.
But judging from the other party's attitude, there is no doubt about it.
Thinking of this, he did not dare to waste any more time and immediately led Tang San to the place where Xiao Wu was imprisoned.
"My lord, the girl is inside."
Boss Xue said in a low voice.
"Well, open the cell door and leave."
Tang San waved his hands and said impatiently.
"This... I'd better stay. If there is anything, I can do it for you, sir."
Boss Xue said this with some hesitation, even though he already believed in Tang San's identity.
But the girl was imprisoned by the order of His Holiness the Pope himself. If anything went wrong, he would have a hard time explaining himself.
However, Tang San was directly angry and said:
"What? Are you going to monitor me too? This person has some connection with me, and I'm only here to ask her some important questions. Do I have to explain to you and tell you the secret that she is a soul beast?"
Hearing Tang San's anger, Boss Xue also dispelled his doubts, and immediately turned around and walked away quickly, still flattering:
"I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now, please calm down, sir."
After a while, he walked out of the dungeon.
Xiao Wu, who was very weak, heard the familiar voice and subconsciously looked towards the cell door.
When she saw Tang San's figure, she trembled suddenly.
"Third brother? Am I hallucinating?"
Tang San saw Xiao Wu's dirty body and weak breath, and his heart ached. His eyes became very gentle. He went forward and hugged her.
"Xiao Wu, you are not hallucinating. It's me. I'm here to save you."
Xiao Wu felt the warm embrace and was sure that this was not a dream, and tears immediately fell.
"Third brother, it's really you!"
