The founder of all religions

On Xuantian Christmas Day, the imperial court granted amnesty to the whole country. The various states and cities drafted a list and reported it to the ministry. For ordinary people, this is a major event that may not be encountered in their lifetime.

How many people are overjoyed and eager to see their loved ones in prison see the light of day again. They work hard, rely on connections, make every effort, and send gold and silver in order for the names of their loved ones in prison to appear on that list.

It is no exaggeration to say that this time the imperial court granted amnesty to the whole country, I don’t know how many government and gentry brokers were able to earn a full pension.

However, before the local list was submitted, a decree was issued within the imperial court.

Pardon the prince of Zhennan, Ji Shi, and release him immediately! ! !

"Prince Zhennan killed the Ouchi bodyguard of Yulongtai that day. This was a serious crime of treason..."

"The king of Zhennan has millions of troops, and he is strong in the southeast. He is too big to lose...The imperial court does not dare to show weakness like this."

"The imperial court has its own considerations... King Zhennan only has such an only son. If something unexpected happens... the higher-ups will also be scared."

"Yes, the place where Prince Zhennan is imprisoned is the [Zongtian Prison]. If he really dies there, it will simply force Prince Zhennan to rebel."

"Since he's a hot potato, it's better to send him out quickly. It's better to die outside than inside."

As soon as the edict came out, it immediately caused quite a shock inside and outside the court.

After all, Prince Zhennan was imprisoned for a serious crime back then. If it had been anyone else, his family would have been confiscated and exterminated. Now he was released after just over a year, which naturally aroused a lot of discussion.

"Zongtian Prison...why haven't I heard of this place?"

On the way to the western suburbs, Li Mo couldn't help but ask Feng Wannian.

"This is a place where members of the royal family or repeat offenders are imprisoned. Most people have no idea..."

Feng Wannian looked at the scenery outside the car and whispered: "When Shenzong was in power, the prince conspired to rebel. The emperor was furious and trapped him in Xishan and imprisoned him until his death..."

"From then on, the [Zongtian Prison] was set up here to take care of the royal family members."

The prince's rebellion case during the Shenzong period had a great impact, but there are only a few words in the history books: the prince caused chaos in the country, rebelled with force, and the emperor secretly punished his party members.

"An eternal king like Shenzong is unparalleled and invincible in the world... Being his prince is probably the most difficult job in the world..." Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"He has been sitting on the throne of the prince for fifty years... he is frightened and walking on thin ice. It is really not something that ordinary people can bear."

Feng Wannian nodded, deeply satisfied.

Shenzong was a man of great talent and strategy, and during his reign, he did countless earth-shattering things. With such a father, as a prince, no matter how hard he worked or how he performed, he seemed gloomy.

The pressure on him can be imagined, not to mention that compared with Shenzong, his temperament is also very different.

Shenzong denounced him as indecisive, too many plans but too few decisions. If a son is not like his father, how can he avoid disaster? ?

"How can there be a fifty-year-old prince in this world?" Li Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

"alright……"

Feng Wannian raised his hand, glanced at Li Mo, and warned: "It's okay to say this behind someone's back. Don't talk nonsense outside."

Although Feng Wannian is known as a domineering swordsman, he still has a good sense of proportion. Unlike Li Mo, once he gets the upper hand, he has no taboos and is lawless.

If such words were heard by outsiders, it would be "disrespectful", especially when we are almost at the [Zongtian Prison].

"This is too biased. No one will know about it even after he dies."

Li Mo looked out the window. The barren mountains in the western suburbs were the most secluded. In the past, whenever there was a murder case in the capital, this was the best place to dump the body.

"Don't worry...after the case of Prince Shenzong, Zongtian Prison has become the strictest among the nine prisons in the capital."

There are nine famous prisons in the capital, such as the [Demon Locking Prison] in the Tianshi Mansion, the [Suppressing Spirit Prison] at the Xuantian Pavilion Lingmen... However, when it comes to the tightness of the guards, naturally they cannot be compared with the [Zongtian Prison]... …

Who told all the royal family members to be imprisoned here? ?

"arrive!"

After a while, the carriage entered the depths of the Western Mountain. Near the abyss, a magnificent building was built against the mountain. It looked like an ancient building, almost integrated with the mountain.

"As expected, one man is in charge, and no one can stop him."

Li Mo only glanced at it and realized the danger. There seemed to be more than one terrifying aura hidden in the depths of this prison. It was so dark and terrifying that it was hard to imagine.

"Stop talking later. I went through a lot of trouble to get here to pick you up."

Feng Wannian pulled the corner of Li Mo's clothes and whispered instructions.

Logically speaking, Zongtian Prison is inaccessible to ordinary people, but Feng Wannian has many connections and many ways to go! ?

"Understood, I always keep a low profile, don't worry." Li Mo nodded seriously.

Feng Wannian rolled his eyes and simply pretended not to hear.

"Is that Li Mo? Hongmen is indeed the easiest place to raise such a disaster star."

At this moment, deep in Zongtian Prison, in a quiet stone room, a pair of cold eyes stared at the light and shadow in the void, and the figures of Li Mo and Feng Wannian were completely visible to them.

The man was wearing heavy black armor, suppressing the aura of violence around him. The fluctuations he radiated made the entire stone room feel like an abyss. It seemed that if he stepped into it, he would fall into despair and never be able to extricate himself.

"He is just like the Black Sword back then, with great luck... He has not yet found his own path, but he is already possessing world-shaking skills."

At this moment, an indifferent voice came from the corner.

There was a young man sitting there, wearing cloth, barefoot, without any extra decoration on his body, as simple as a farmer, but his hands were extremely white and slender.

"Junior brother, you are known as the leader of martial arts, but you have already suffered two big losses at his hands."

Xiao Weimou turned around and looked at his teacher, his most proud disciple, and couldn't help but chuckle and tease.

Xiao Weimou, Marquis of Wu Cheng, was not only the prison officer of [Zongtian Prison], but he was also a disciple of [Wuzong], one of the Seven Secrets of Xuantian, and the senior brother of Wu Tianfeng.

"I'm using him to practice..."

Wu Tianfeng stood up slowly and looked at Li Mo in the light and shadow.

"Master said that there is great terror between life and death. Life and death can be seen in terror, and truth can be understood in life and death..."

"It's a pity that he is not strong enough to let me see the horror of life and death."

Wu Tianfeng shook his head. He seemed to have no human emotions at all. The look he looked at Li Mo was full of regret and regret.

"Junior brother, you are possessed by a demon."

Xiao Weimou took a deep look at his junior brother who was crazy about martial arts and seemed a little abnormal.

"Senior brother, if I enter the devil's path, I will use force to break the tribulation... For me, this is also a kind of detachment and a kind of training..."

There was still no expression on Wu Tianfeng's face. His eyes looked dimly at Li Mo and then at Xiao Weimou.

"Whether it's him, you, Master, or even the Xuantian Taoist species... they are all my profound entrances. After breaking through them one after another, I can see the ninth floor of martial arts..."

Wu Tianfeng whispered quietly, the world is vast, but in his eyes, there seems to be nothing else.

It was so crazy that even Xiao Weimou couldn't help but feel his eyebrows jump when he saw it.

"Junior brother, you are not a mortal, and your views are different from those of us. However, since this person has repeatedly opposed you and insulted my martial arts lineage, I naturally have to teach him a lesson."

Xiao Weimou turned around and looked at Li Mo with a cold look in his eyes.

"Don't touch him...if he becomes a fire, he will be my best whetstone." Wu Tianfeng said coldly.

"hey-hey……"

Xiao Weimou waved his hand and chuckled: "He is a member of the Hongmen, and this is the [Zongtian Prison]. Naturally, I will not kill people indiscriminately, but this person is too popular, so I want to give him a blow." , kill him with vigor and let him know how powerful you are."

The faint words echoed in the quiet stone room, and the two figures in the light and shadow became full of fun in Xiao Weimou's eyes.

At this moment, Li Mo and Feng Wannian, led by two armored guards, walked through the long stone corridor and passed through three gates.

"Are you really so strict...are you still afraid of being robbed?"

Nowadays, Li Mo holds the position of the Chief Director of Hongmen Prisons, and can be regarded as a semi-professional. Compared with Hongmen Prisons, after all, they are still inferior.

Putting aside everything else, the guards here were all puppets, just like the two figures in front of them, who had the body of a puppet, but had spiritual breath cultivation.

"The Ninth Prince once said that people are the greatest weakness of a prison..."

"So after his improvements, [Zongtian Prison] has almost no human guards..."

Feng Wannian explained.

"Ninth Prince!?" Li Mo was stunned for a moment.

"That's right... Among all your Majesty's princes, the Ninth Prince is unruly and often gets into trouble when he was young..."

Feng Wannian curled his lips and said: "I heard that it was common for him to enter [Zongtian Prison]. Over time, he even pointed out the omissions here..."

“Each time proves it by escaping from prison!”

"this……"

Li Mo was speechless. From this point of view, this ninth prince was really a different kind.

"The Ninth Prince once said that as long as we are human, we have weaknesses. This weakness may become the biggest loophole in a prison..."

Feng Wannian continued: "For example, if some masters are imprisoned in prison, if the guards cannot resist the temptation, talk to them, or even use them to practice..."

"Such actions are tantamount to self-stealing. Sooner or later, this person will become a loophole..."

"..."

Li Mo's eyes widened and his expression became strange.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"No...it's okay, you continue..."

"I heard... that the Ninth Prince developed most of the guards in this prison into his confidants. He was in prison here and could even invite the Nanqu Troupe from the capital to sing ditties for him..."

"Every day, we still have a big banquet in the prison, and we invite the chef from [Xianbin Building]..."

Speaking of this, even a man like Feng Wannian who was familiar with the world couldn't help but show a strange look on his face.

This Ninth Prince, with all kinds of unimaginable behavior, laughing, yelling, scolding, and cynical, is indeed an outlier among the strict royal family.

"From then on, Zongtian Prison almost no longer needs living people. All of them are replaced by puppets, which are provided by Xuantian Pavilion Lingmen. A batch of them must be replaced every six months..."

"Too rigorous." Li Mo sighed.

The Ninth Prince, this frequent visitor to [Zongtian Prison], has simply raised the security level here by more than one level.

"I heard that later, the imperial court appointed him to be the prison officer here for a while."

"Isn't that a rat looking at the granary?" Li Mo blurted out.

Feng Wannian stumbled and almost didn't fall. He looked at the two puppet guards in front of him and glared at Li Mo fiercely.

"You're the only one who can talk, right!?"

Rumble…

At this moment, a violent fluctuation came from the front, and the two puppet guards suddenly stopped.

Li Mo's expression changed slightly. He looked up and saw a majestic stone gate with runes densely covered on it. It was very mysterious and could hide a killing formation at a glance.

This is the last gate of [Zongtian Silao] and is naturally heavily guarded. In addition to the Void Killing Formation, there is a stone statue standing on both sides of the stone gate, standing like a hill, with a ferocious head and face, and four arms like gods, each holding a sword. Pestle, mace, seal and other instruments.

"What's this!?"

Li Mo's eyes narrowed. Just two stone statues were like demons, and the aura they gave off made him feel horrified.

Terrifying fluctuations filled the void, filling every corner of Zongtian Prison.

"The Giant Spirit Demon Statue..."

In the quiet stone room, Wu Tianfeng looked at the two standing stone statues in the light and shadow, and couldn't help but whisper.

"Junior brother, you have a good eye. This is the giant demon statue... the supreme demon god forged by Shenzong's order..." Xiao Weimou sneered.

Shenzong naturally relied on supreme force to destroy the law.

At that time, the imperial court refined one hundred and eight [Giant Spirits and Heavenly Demon Statues] to conquer the world's orthodoxy. After the mountains and seas were pacified, there were not many of these treasures left, and they were all taken back by the Xuantian Pavilion.

These two [Giant Spirit Demon Statues] were privately imitated by the Ninth Prince back then, and were almost 99% restored. Each one possesses the strength of a true king.

Later, when he took charge of the [Zongtian Prison], he left these two [Giant Demon Statues] here.

"Hehe, except for the Ninth Prince and the Prison Officer, no one can drive away these two [giant spirits]. Any heretic who dares to invade will be killed..."

Xiao Weimou looked at Li Mo's figure in the light and shadow with interest, and flicked the index finger of his right hand.

Rumble…

At this moment, the two [Giant Spirits and Heavenly Demon Statues] beside the stone gate suddenly moved. The terrifying power shook the heavens and the earth, and the void behind them shattered, as if there were thousands of tribulations and punishments following them.

"What's going on? This is the [Giant Demon Statue]... Why did it suddenly move..."

Feng Wannian's complexion suddenly changed. He knew how powerful this thing was. Its true king-level combat power could kill almost all existences in the world.

Just as he was about to retreat, he felt that the void was solidified, as if it were a piece of iron that could not be shaken at all.

"This is the power of a true king..."

Li Mo's expression moved slightly, and he felt that the two [Giant Demon Statues] locked him tightly, and a sense of fear arose spontaneously, which was a hundred times more terrifying than facing the banned Gu Jingting.

"Hey... Hongmen's scourge? Let me teach you how to behave."

A proud smile appeared on Xiao Weimou's face. He stared at the dancing light and shadow, looking forward to the next scene.

However, at this moment, the smile on his face suddenly solidified, and his eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him with some disbelief.

"How...how could this happen!?"

In front of the ancient stone gate, two towering and terrifying [giant and celestial demon statues] knelt on one knee, turned around and gave way to a path.
