Chapter 462: Chapter 435: Great Wilderness Sin Prison

After thanking He Tianyao once again, Wang Wu was escorted by the two black-clad individuals. One of them used the power of the Hidden Origin Bell, instantly teleporting them to another city where the Hidden Origin Bell was located, seemingly the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance.

Here, the two black-clad individuals stopped because a man with a valiant appearance was waiting there.

He was also quite respectful to the two black-clad individuals.

“It’s a trouble for you two, but let me have a few words with my friend here.”

Wang Wu looked at him, completely unrecognizable. Where did this friend come from?

At this moment, the valiant man looked at Wang Wu, his gaze indifferent.

“I am the second senior brother of Baiyu. He said he left in a hurry and didn’t have time to say goodbye to you. As colleagues, he asked me to escort you. If there’s a chance, we can have a drink together. That’s all.”

Leaving these simple words, the man left.

But the two black-clad individuals still did not move, seeming to be waiting for something?

Wang Wu initially didn’t think much of it, but after waiting for some time, he couldn’t help but ask, “Excuse me, who are we waiting for here?”

“Waiting for whom? Waiting for your friends. It’s an old custom. You’re heading to the Jia Prison and will soon be entering, so it gives your family and friends a little time to meet here. Of course, if there’s no one who wants to see you, in three hours, you will naturally be sent into the Great Wilderness Sin Prison. Also, if there’s anything you want to buy, you can speak up, we can purchase it on your behalf, but it’ll cost three times the price.”

“Of course, you don’t need to worry too much. Although you’re going to prison, the Qiankun Bag can be carried with you. If you’re uneasy, you can also entrust it to friends or family to manage.”

Hearing this, Wang Wu quickly asked, “Excuse me, will I not be able to remove these shackles once I’m in the Sin Prison?”

“Of course, you’re going to the big prison, not on a sightseeing trip. What do you think the Great Wilderness Sin Prison is, a good place? If it were, what would it use to punish criminals? You don’t think it’s just about secluding oneself for five hundred years, do you?”

“In that case, I’d like to trouble you, I want to buy some items, please advise me a bit.” Wang Wu hastily said. He didn’t think anyone would come to see him; the case involving Senior Sister Qin’s murder was probably already settled, clearing his suspicions also meant leaving Elder Hui’s camp entirely, turning into an ignored minor figure.

At this point, the two black-clad individuals glanced at each other, stepped forward without saying a word, and took all three of Wang Wu’s Qiankun Bags, each holding a Jade Talisman to swipe over the bag’s opening, opening the Qiankun Bag.

Subsequently, they reached inside and fiddled around for a moment, quickly pulling out a large pile of Profound Iron from one and a few Mud Turtles’ shells from the other.

Then, without Wang Wu’s consent, they each placed the items into their own Qiankun Bags.

To be honest, the most valuable things currently in Wang Wu’s Qiankun Bag seemed to be the Refined Profound Iron and the turtle shells.

And they weren’t even his. He rarely stocked important materials, mainly because he was too poor.

As for the Maximal Common Denominator Pill, it was unceremoniously scattered along with a few Blood Circulation and Blood Stasis Dissolving Elixirs, gifts from Senior Sister Qin.

The two black-clad individuals didn’t even glance at them.

You’d say they have a keen eye, but they truly left the treasure mountain empty-handed.

If you say they lack judgment, they found the Four Clowns nonetheless.

“There are even a few Fake Primordial Spirits of your ancestors, be careful, the Prison Guards in the Sin Prison like to refine these Fake Primordial Spirits into little ghosts, you wouldn’t want your ancestors to become little ghosts, would you?”

Having taken their benefits, the two black-clad individuals’ tone became much friendlier, returning the three Qiankun Bags to Wang Wu, and then one took out a hundred jars of inferior Spirit Wine, and the other a hundred bags of inferior Spiritual Food, the items they helped purchase.

Wang Wu was speechless, but unwilling to argue.

So they continued to wait until three hours passed, with no one coming to visit.

Indeed, this was normal.

At this moment, the two black-clad individuals gave a shout, each took out a Jade Talisman, and once again teleported with Wang Wu, in an instant arriving at a desolate wilderness. Hmm? Why does it look familiar?

No way, no way!

Could it be that I am to be sent into the previous Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower?

And indeed, shortly after, Wang Wu saw the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, standing desolate amidst a ruin, ignored, even unloved and unrepaired.

But the two black-clad individuals did not stop, instead walking indifferently past, as if it were a roadside desolate grave.

Just like that, they walked in one direction for a while, in a heap of ruins, there was another similar Sin Prison Tower, but it was marked as Jia 2.

After walking a bit further, they finally saw a small mortal village.

The two black-clad individuals led Wang Wu straight into the village, seemingly unnoticed by the mortals there.

At the east end of the village was a large elm tree, not far away a well, with two mortals drawing water.

Once they left, the two black-clad individuals took Wang Wu and floated into the well. At the bottom, they pulled a large chain, and before long, a plain stone box was dragged up.

One of the black-clad individuals then took out a Jade Talisman, triggering an ancient mechanism on the stone box, and soon a small stone house creaked into view. From the stone house emerged two little figures, bowing to the two black-clad individuals, speaking about something.

“No need to chatter, all the benefits are on him.”

One black-clad individual shouted, giving Wang Wu a strong push, causing him to stumble and fall in front of the stone house. But when he turned to look at the two black-clad individuals again, they had become as towering as mountains.

The next moment, they were gone without a trace.

And those two little prison guards before have now behaved like ordinary people, seeming not so fierce, even quite amiable.

“Brother, don’t be nervous. This is the regular Jia-character Sin Prison of the Hidden Origin Association, not too many crooked or evil things going on. Rest assured, when you come in, it’s just for seclusion. Once five hundred years pass, you’ll return to where you came from. Rest easy, now let’s get through the procedure first.”

One of the fifty-something men spoke with a smile, Wang Wu now having sealed his Innate Bloodline and Acquired Creation, seemed like a mortal, showing nothing special.

At this time, he could only nod cautiously. This set of prison equipment on him, including a wooden yoke, chains, and shackles, felt very uncomfortable.

“Please, brother!”

The two men escorted Wang Wu into the stone house, dark inside. After walking down a hundred and eight stone steps, finally there was some light, but it was not very bright as if a grey mist was permanently lingering, with faint roars from a distant place.

Even their footsteps echoed monumentally.

Wang Wu couldn’t see far, but on both sides were indeed huge cells.

Nothing particularly special.

Some cells had no one inside. Other cells contained seven or eight, even a dozen prisoners.

There were also cells with only one prisoner inside.

Interestingly, prisoners who were alone seemed to have the same prison equipment as Wang Wu.

Many prisoners, however, had their prison equipment removed.

For reasons unknown.

The two continued to walk forward nonstop, covering about a hundred miles before reaching a bright, expansive place. It was a relatively serene room, with sunlight visible through the windows, bright and dazzling, and the scent of green grass and wildflowers could be smelled.

Yet, the doors and windows on this side were all locked tightly.

Inside the room sat a person, none other than Song Guangming.

An old acquaintance!

“Wang Zhige, long time no see!”

Song Guangming sat at the head, beaming, though the shadow in his eyes was quite significant.

Wang Wu didn’t say a word; he’d been at odds with Song Guangming before, and now he was in trouble.

But Song Guangming waved to the two prison guards, “Unlock his prison equipment.”

“Right away!”

The two prison guards obeyed promptly, quickly removing Wang Wu’s prison equipment.

Song Guangming then continued, “I heard about the case above; until now, the murderer hasn’t been caught. Qin Yu died too miserably, so please accept my condolences.”

What?

I should mourn?

Oh, she was my Senior Sister, and my heart can barely breathe from the grief.

However, Song Guangming didn’t care about Wang Wu’s expression and just continued, “I had a pretty good relationship with Qin Yu, but that’s in the past now. You are her junior, and for her sake, I’ll definitely take care of you a bit, so you really don’t have to worry.”

“Now, let’s talk about it. This Sin Prison is primarily for punishment—making the sinner realize their mistakes, sincerely recognize their wrongdoings, to ensure they don’t reoffend in the future. Meanwhile, we must also adhere to the doctrine of the Hidden Origin Association, which is—kindness, not to push things to the limit and always leave room. Do you understand my meaning?”

Wang Wu nodded repeatedly; he absolutely understood.

“Therefore, you have three options here. You must have seen them when you came over.”

“The first option is to stay in your cell with the prison equipment on for the next five hundred years, until the sentence is served. During this time, no one will harm you, and no one will trouble you. Hmm, including your Qiankun Bag, I can guarantee that no one dares to touch it.”

“The second option is to remove the prison equipment, stay in the second type of cell, and have a certain amount of activity space. However, you can’t cultivate, but you must show enough sincerity; without physical punishment, you must compensate from other aspects. You understand what I mean, right? I’m explaining this to you this clearly because of Qin Yu.”

Song Guangming looked sincere, but Wang Wu immediately sensed a trap.

If he chose the first, it meant his Qiankun Bag really had something good.

If he chose the second, it meant… Alright, Wang Wu didn’t see any hidden tricks in this.

Of course, it might have been set up deliberately to make him choose the third option.

So he asked, “Then what about the third option?”

As expected, upon hearing this, Song Guangming revealed a smile.

“For the third, I wouldn’t actually recommend it to you, because it requires leaving this Sin Prison and going to another Sin Prison to do hard labor—essentially recognizing your mistakes through your work and making up for your sins. Specifically, oh, it means going to repair the Jia Yi Sin Prison. I believe you should be familiar with that place, to repair the gaps caused by your previous jailbreak. In doing so, we might even be able to provide you with some compensation.”

“But in there, your jailbreak has caused adverse changes in the environment, with Yang Thunder, Yin Fire, and Evil Wind rampant. Honestly, I wouldn’t suggest you go.”
