Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

The sword flew to Chu Yu's waist and hung up, trembling slightly to wake her up.

Chu Yu found herself lying on a smooth slope. If she wasn't careful, she would slip into the abyss below. She felt a tearing pain in her right hand. She would slide down even if she moved her body slightly, and she couldn't use her right hand at all. , her whole body was in a tense state, and she didn't dare to move at all.

How come there is such a smooth slope in this hole?

There were some scabs on her hands, and the dried blood stuck her wound to the cave wall. She activated her profound energy to treat the wound. With the light, she could see her surroundings clearly.

A circular, huge hole connected to the bottom. She was stuck in a place that was neither high nor low, lying on a slope.

It was pitch black when she looked up, and it was the same when she looked down. She felt that the wound on her hand was almost healed. She immediately pulled out the sword and stuck it on the stone wall before falling, hanging her whole body.

She used her sword to climb up the rock. When she reached a certain height, she was sucked back by the force majeure, and below was an unknown abyss.

If it was really a bottomless pit, wouldn't she have to fall here for the rest of her life?

Is there really such a place?

"Hey!" Chu Yu shouted down.

"...Hey..." After a long time, a faint echo could be heard from below.

In this case, it means that this cave has a bottom, but it is too far away from Chu Yu.

Since we can’t go up anyway, why not just go to the bottom and have a look, what exactly is this place?

She jumped down and seemed to smell a fishy smell. The smell became stronger as she went down. Every time she jumped, she inserted her sword into the stone wall as a buffer. After falling for almost half an hour, she finally landed.

Specifically, it's not the ground.

It was more like she was stepping on a huge, smelly piece of meat. There were many bones around it, some from monsters and humans.

These bones did not seem to have been attacked by anything. The white bones were extremely smooth, with no wear and tear, and no traces of flesh and blood. The clothes were left intact. There are also many skeletons that can be seen to be complete. They seem to have died since arriving here. There is no trace of poisoning, struggle, injury, or being eaten by monsters.

It was strange, as if suddenly their flesh and blood melted!

Chu Yu looked at the sticky, disgusting, meat-like ground around him, and his hair stood on end.

No way! This place kills people invisible. Do all the people who fall here die like this?

But Chu Yu didn't feel any discomfort now. Apart from the stench and strange environment around him, nothing strange happened in this place.

Could it be that these people were melted after staying for a certain period of time?

She couldn't sit still and wait for death, so she immediately searched around.

I remember Gongsun Gu said before that if you don’t know where to go, just go to the middle. She returned to the place where she fell, but the compass needle was still useless. She walked about a hundred miles in one direction without finding anything, and finally returned to the starting point.

Now she was sure that this was the bottom of the Imperial Prison, and all the characteristics were the same as above.

She changed directions, hoping to find something different. This place was very big, and after walking a long way, there were still all kinds of bones on the ground.

Finally, Chu Yu found a notebook in the hands of a skeleton. She immediately picked it up and read it. Several pages had been torn out in the middle. Judging from the handwriting, it turned out to be the person who left a note for them!

Shouldn't this person go out?

Did this person just want to push down the unlucky guy he chose, but he couldn't beat him and was killed instead?

He recorded some of the days spent at the bottom of the cave, but his mental state was not good and his words were crazy, such as:

------

The first page:

It's dark here, there's no time, I don't know how long I've been here.

The second page:

This is hell.

page three:

Did I die and go to hell?

Fourth page:

I'm not dead, the blood is hot, the wound hurts, and I'm hungry.

Fifth page:

The ground is full of meat, edible.

------

Seeing this, Chu Yu felt nauseated.

This is so hungry, not to mention that there is human flesh and blood mixed in it.

But she also found useful information in the diary of this man who was about to go crazy, such as:

------

I don't know where I went, but I found a house with a door inside. Would you like to open it and take a look?

------

The next page is missing again.

She immediately explored the surrounding area and found the wooden house mentioned in the diary near the bones!

Sure enough, there was a door in the room, and Chu Yu found a missing page at the back of the diary. The words on this page were large, and his excitement could be seen. It said:

------

The man in front went out.

The message he left in the wooden house said that anyone who falls in here can walk into the prayer restaurant through this door. However, after you go out, people outside cannot see you because your body has been swallowed by the hole. .

But he also said that when the next person to be sacrificed falls here, he can stay in the cave instead of me, and I will be free.

Therefore, I have to go out through this door and find a way to attract people to come in and stay in this hell-like place instead of me.

------

Seeing this, Chu Yu already realized that something was wrong. She quickly opened the diary and continued reading page by page:

------

I opened all the formations, hoping someone would come in.

……

Many people came, and a group of monks found the Prayer Restaurant.

……

There were two girls quarreling downstairs, it was really exciting.

……

My traces and hints are obvious enough, they will probably sacrifice a companion.

……

Should I leave some hints to the sacrificer? After all, he was thrown down and has nothing to do with me.

Just use this diary. If you are the one being sacrificed, by the time you see this diary, I will probably be out!

You only need to attract new sacrificers to replace you, and you can go out. This is also what I know from the message left by the previous person.

If you got here after reading my tips, I want to tell you the truth.

In the city of the Imperial Prison, it is true that if someone is sacrificed to the cave, others can get out.

But I was not the one who went out. I was chosen by my companions from the beginning to sacrifice, and they went out on their own, while I stayed here alone for a long, long time.

In the tip given to you, I actually lied. I didn't find the unlucky guy to push him down, but I found you.

I'm sorry, please forgive me.

But I have opened so many formations, and there should be a lot of people in the Imperial Prison now. You can go out and continue to guide them here. When your replacement comes, you can go out.

------

The last few pages have been torn, and they should be the notes above.

Chu Yu clarified the information. This person fell here a long time ago. Since he has no sense of time, judging from the date he unconsciously left on the note, he may really be from three hundred years ago, or even longer.

However, he stayed in this place until Chu Yu fell down.

He lied in the reminder he gave everyone on land. He was actually abandoned by his companions from the beginning and never left. Everything he did was actually to attract people to sacrifice.

Chu Yu opened the door. It was indeed the top floor of the Prayer Restaurant. The sand table and other items were very familiar. But when she looked back, her body remained in the wooden house. When she entered the restaurant, she was just a person that no one could see. 's spirit body.

Now there is only one problem that cannot be explained.

There are so many corpses in the cave, which means there are many people who fell in.

Why, they are all dead?

According to what was said in the diary, if a new person fell in, the original person should have gone out, right?

This person clearly wrote some things that happened after Chu Yu and others entered the imperial prison, but Chu Yu is now in the cave. Not only did he not get out, he also died, and he died recently.

This only shows that he was wrong from the beginning.

Once a new sacrificer comes in, the person who originally stayed here will turn into flesh in the cave!

It hurts others and hurts itself.

One thing is very troublesome right now. Chu Yu doesn't know when the next unlucky person will be thrown in. If that person comes in, wouldn't Chu Yu also turn into flesh?

Chu Yu rushed to those formations and closed all entrances.

The people outside are like time bombs, and the new sacrificers are her reminder.

But how should she leave?

Returning to the wooden house, I found a stone tablet behind the door, which said the same words as on the sand table:

In the imperial prison, those who are innocent can be released; those who are guilty but not serious can be released after being punished, and they will not be imprisoned unless they re-offend; those who are guilty and unforgivable are imprisoned with evil beasts.

There is just one more sentence at the end:

Find someone to die for, if you can.

This sentence is obviously a lie. The profound energy in the bodies of those who died here may have been absorbed by the Imperial Prison.

"It's all nonsense!" Chu Yu was very angry: "Since this is a prison, guilty people must be imprisoned, and laws must be strictly enforced to maintain order. However, they actually advocate the act of finding someone to die as a substitute. Is this a prison of a glorious ancient country? ?”

"You have imprisoned so many innocent people, do you still deserve to be called an imperial prison?" Chu Yu drew his sword and slashed at the stone tablet, saying as he slashed:

"I'm not guilty! The guilty people are all out there. Some people steal people's blood and ruin other people's immortal paths. Some people frame their fellow disciples and abandon their companions. Why don't you lock them up?"

The stone tablet was protected by runes and was extremely hard, but Chu Yu's sword was even sharper. The stone tablet was still cut with a crack, and there was a faint red light inside. Chu Yu stopped after noticing it.

There is a powerful force in this stone tablet, which is exactly the same as the power of the lock. This is the source of power that maintains the entire space!

No longer entangled, Chu Yu directly put her hand up, and a steady stream of power was gathering towards her.

The power to maintain the space was so strong that Chu Yu felt that his Dantian was about to explode, so he quickly let go of his hands and started to exercise.

Sixth level, seventh level, eighth level... Chu Yu was absorbing power, and his realm was constantly rising. At the peak of the ninth level of Lingzong, Chu Yu clearly felt that he was about to break through. However, to enter the Lingwang realm, he needed to go through three stages. Thunder disaster.

However, Chu Yu was trapped in this cave and Tianlei could not find his target.

"Since you won't let me out of this imperial prison, just suffer the catastrophe for me!"

There was a lot of movement outside, the thunder was scattered, and the entire imperial prison was roaring and shaking.

After about three sticks of incense, it became quiet outside.

First level of Spirit King Realm!

Chu Yu felt the powerful profound energy in her Dantian, and she entered the realm of the Spirit King!

"If you don't let me out, then I will tear down this hellish prison of yours!" After saying that, she put her hand on the stone tablet again, greedily absorbing the power inside, and then digested it with another burst of energy.

Second level! The second level of the Spiritual King!

The third time, Chu Yu put his hand up again. The Imperial Prison noticed that the power was draining very quickly, and immediately activated the defensive restrictions. A magic circle appeared under the feet of everyone in the Imperial Prison.

Are you going to clear out all the people locked inside?

Almost in an instant, the Imperial Prison became a real empty city. Chu Yu was the source of the loss of power, and was also transmitted out by the defensive array...

When Chu Yu opened her eyes again, the bright sunshine shone on her face. The clouds were light and white, changing into various shapes in the blue sky. Occasionally, two birds flew by with their ethereal and melodious calls.

Compared with the imperial prison, this place is like paradise.

It's just that the back feels too hard, uneven, and annoying.

Where was she transported to?

Sitting up, he found that she was lying on a glazed roof. The buildings around her were neat and grand, like some ruins.

Could it be that she was teleported directly to Tianzhi Imperial City?

No, how could ordinary people use glazed tiles? This is the royal palace!

She's on the roof of the palace!

What kind of luck is this? The place that so many people want to find, but she is here as soon as she is teleported.

It seems that falling into the hole is not a bad thing, and it also allowed her to break through to the second level of the Spiritual King!

In the Spirit King realm, you can use your mysterious energy to fly into the air!

Nothing in the palace has been damaged, which means no one has found this place yet. There are many treasures around, but Chu Yu did not touch them and groped deeper.

There is a ruin inside the palace, which looks like it has just been struck by lightning and is still smoking.

Looking at the incomplete stone tablet, he knew that this was the entrance from the palace to the imperial prison. The thunder could not find Chu Yu and struck them all here.

Chu Yu will no longer absorb spiritual energy for the time being. She has just crossed too many realms at once. If she does not stabilize herself first, it may lay hidden dangers for her future practice.

"Is there any treasure pavilion, weapons pavilion, alchemy pavilion, etc. here..."

As she walked, she wandered into a very luxurious palace.

This is the library, all the way to the top floor, where there are many secret books of Tianzhihuang realm.

Many of the exercises were infested by insects and were in dilapidated condition. Chu Yu randomly picked up one or two that were still readable, but found that they were all so-so. Either the exercises were not good, or they were not suitable for her.

Sure enough, since the cultivation of immortals has developed to this day, the things that existed thousands of years ago are relatively primitive and elementary versions. If she really wants to practice the skills, the ones Yuan Jian taught her will be many times stronger.

However, she still found something that interested her.

A small stove covered with dust, it looks old, but it emits a strong smell.

This is at least the furnace of a fifth-level alchemist. There is also an alchemy book underneath it with "Jingxuan Pill" written on it.

This can purify the power in spiritual fruits and elixirs into elixirs, which matches Chu Yu's physique.

Although the Jingcheng Xuanfa is very useful, if you eat those spiritual fruits directly, the spiritual power inside will be lost after all. If you can directly practice the elixir and carry it with you, it can reduce the waste.

Her master can make elixirs himself, and the elixirs she usually gets, except for the monthly share of direct disciples, are all given by Yuan Jian.

She had never tried alchemy in the Tianchen Immortal Sect in her previous life, but she wanted to try it this time.

The runes on the small stove were badly worn, but Chu Yu still took it away, taking the alchemy book with him.

At this time, she felt someone coming in from the side door, and the spiritual consciousness of the Spirit King realm could be released further.

Among that group of people, there was a person whose aura was very familiar. She had just entered the spirit-gathering realm. It was... Liu Yan'er?

Liu Yaner from Pingyuan County?

There was a man beside her who looked good but had always had a bad attitude. His strength was at the ninth level of a spiritual warrior. She just heard her call the man "Brother Wanyu", and they actually walked together?

And the one with the highest cultivation level among that group of people is a beautiful woman. She has at least the cultivation level of the Spirit Emperor. This woman is dressed in the Xiaoyao Sword Sect. Judging from her appearance, she is actually the one Li Heng liked two hundred years ago. That Miss Liu who also injured Li Heng with her suitor!

It turns out that she and Liu Yan'er are related.

And looking at the situation, she is currently a teacher of Xiaoyao Sword Sect,

Chu Yu was a little confused. It had been two hundred years, how could she still be in the Spiritual Emperor realm?
