Luoyang City.
East Hall's sphere of influence, Imperial Prison.
Chu Xiao brought along Xiao Yu, Fei Youchen, and a group of assassins from Black Rock.
"Faction Leader, we've arrived at the imperial prison."
The carriage stopped in front of the Heaven Prison.
Chu Xiao got off the car and saw a building not far ahead. There were many guards around it, both openly and secretly. The security was extremely tight.
At this time, a group of people walked towards Chu Xiao.
These people were dressed in the uniform of the East Chamber, each of them carrying a long saber at their waists, their faces solemn.
The leader had white hair at his temples and was expressionless. His long and narrow eyes gave people a sinister feeling, making people shudder and not dare to look at him.
This person was Cao Shaoqin, Second Gear Leader of the East Chamber.
Cao Shaoqin was ordered by Cao Zhengchun to wait for Chu Xiao in front of the Heaven Prison.
After all, the imperial prison was a highly confidential place. Even if he agreed to Chu Xiao's request to select assassins, he would still need someone to accompany him. Otherwise, if something really happened, Cao Zhengchun would also suffer.
"Chief Chu, the superintendent ordered me to wait here.”Cao Shaoqin cupped his fists at Chu Xiao and said.
Chu Xiao nodded slightly and didn't waste any time talking to Cao Shaoqin. He said directly,""Lead the way."
The group entered the imperial prison.
Due to various considerations, the imperial prison was built underground. Everyone walked for half a cup of tea's time before they arrived.
Although it was underground, the area was not small at all. The cells on both sides were densely packed, and one could not see the end at a glance.
Moreover, this was only one level. The imperial prison was divided into many levels. The level of imprisonment was determined by the degree of danger and crime. The lower the level, the more dangerous the prisoners were, and the fewer the number of prisoners.
These criminals were all unforgivable felons. Ordinary criminals were not even qualified to be locked up here.
Cao Shaoqin walked in front and shouted at a small room in front of the cell,""Where is Zhu Biao?"
With a bang, the wooden door of the hut opened from the inside, and a figure hurriedly ran out.
This person had a fat head and big ears. He was the head of this prison, Zhu Biao.
"Second Gear Head!" Seeing Cao Shaoqin, Zhu Biao immediately stood up and cupped his hands.
"Is the name list ready?" Cao Shaoqin snorted and asked.”
"I've prepared it long ago. Please take a look, sir.”Zhu Biao took out a thin book and handed it to Cao Shaoqin with both hands.
Cao Shaoqin casually glanced at it and passed it to Chu Xiao. At the same time, he explained,""Faction Leader Chu, the superintendent has instructed that you can choose any of the death row prisoners in the first eight levels of the imperial prison.”
Chu Xiao nodded and didn't take the book. He then gave Fatty Chen a look.
Fatty Chen gestured, but Cao Shaoqin flipped through the book in his hand and asked,""I wonder how you will deal with the vacancy after we take the prisoners away? Find another scapegoat?"
Cao Shaoqin sneered." There's no need to go through so much trouble. The imperial prison is under the jurisdiction of the East Chamber, and it's only a death row prisoner. As long as the word 'death' is written on the register, the prisoner will disappear from the world, and no one will ask anything.”
Fatty Chen clicked his tongue, thinking that the East Military Hall was really terrifyingly powerful.
"Zhu Biao, this Chief Chu is a friend of the superintendent. You must serve him well and bring out the prisoners that Chief Chu needs.”
Cao Shaoqin instructed Zhu Biao, then cupped his hands towards Chu Xiao and said,""I'm busy with work and can't continue to accompany Leader Chu. I hope Leader Chu won't blame me.”
"It's fine. Go do your work." Chu Xiao said lightly.
Cao Shaoqin nodded and left the imperial prison.
Chu Xiao glanced at the layout of the imperial prison and asked,"Zhu Biao, do you know where a criminal named Zhu Yeqing is?”
"Zhuyeqing?"
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said,"I remember now. There was such a person. I heard that he was a great thief who killed many officials and was locked up here after being captured.”
"Bring me there." Chu Xiao ordered.
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhu Biao, a small prison guard, did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of Chu Xiao. He hurriedly led the way.
Soon, they arrived in front of a cell.
"Milord, the Zhuyeqing is inside.”Zhu Biao pointed at the cell and said.
Chu Xiao followed his finger and saw a slender figure lying on the ground in the dirty cell. He looked like he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.
What was even more terrifying was that there was an iron chain as thick as a finger running through his shoulder blade.
The iron chain pierced through his shoulder blades and stared deeply into the wall.
Seeing Zhu Yeqing's miserable appearance, Chu Xiao frowned slightly. He was afraid that Zhu Yeqing had already been tortured to death, and he would not be able to complete the system mission.
Fortunately, Chu Xiao was worrying too much.
Although Zhu Yeqing looked miserable, he was still breathing. When the cell door opened, he raised his head to see who had come in.
Unfortunately, his lute bone was locked, and Zhu Yeqing couldn't raise his head. He could only see a few legs walking towards him.
"Sir, this Zhuyeqing doesn't have much time left. Do you really want this cripple?”Zhu Biao asked.
Chu Xiao ignored him. He came to stand in front of Zhu Yeqing and raised his palm.
This palm contained the power absorption technique. Thick black internal strength spurted out and almost materialized in the air, bringing with it ripples.
The power absorption technique was naturally not meant to absorb the green bamboo leaves, but to aim at the iron chains.
Faced with Chu Xiao's incomparably deep internal strength, the steel chain couldn't withstand it and was directly broken.
Chu Xiao waved his hand again, and a section of the iron chain that was pierced through the Green Bamboo Leaf Pipa Bone flew out.
Due to the fact that the bone had been pierced for a long time, the wound had long healed. The flesh and blood had grown together with the iron chain.
Chu Xiao's pull caused flesh and blood to fly everywhere.
Zhu Yeqing bounced up from the ground, arched his body like a prawn, and then fell heavily.
Zhu Yeqing had already been tortured to the point where he looked like a withered corpse. Now, he was only left with one breath and could die at any time.
Fatty Chen, feed him the Golden Jade Pill." Chu Xiao said lightly.
"Yes, Gang Leader!"
Fatty Chen strode forward, took out a round pill, and stuffed it into Zhu Yeqing's mouth to keep him alive.
The Golden Jade Pill was a precious pill inside the black stone. After consuming it, it could keep one alive. Because it was difficult to refine, it was very rare. Only a few experts had it.
After eating the pill, Zhu Yeqing's condition quickly improved, and his breathing also stabilized.
Fatty Chen looked at Zhu Yeqing's shoulders. There was a bloody hole on each of them, and blood and pus were flowing out of it.
He had already fed her the Golden Jade Pill. Fatty Chen did not hesitate either. He also made some blood-staunching powder and sprinkled it on Zhu Yeqing's wound.
The blood quickly stopped.
At this point, Zhu Yeqing had survived.
Chu Xiao said to Zhu Biao,"Note down Zhu Yeqing. I want to take this person away."”
Zhu Biao's eyes showed a subconscious hesitation, but it disappeared in an instant. He thought of Cao Shaoqin's words. This was Cao Zhengchun's friend, and he wouldn't dare to refuse even if he had a hundred guts.
"Yes, my lord." Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly and took out a notebook to cross out the name of Zhuyeqing.
After he was done, Chu Xiao called for two assassins in black to carry Zhu Yeqing out of the imperial prison and take a carriage back to Black Rock.
"Ding!"
Just as Zhu Yeqing left the imperial prison, a mechanical system prompt sounded in Chu Xiao's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the system's random mission: Enter the Heaven Prison and save the life of the Thousand-faced Playboy, Zhu Yeqing.”
" Reward for completing the mission: The loyalty of the Zhuyeqing and the five-colored gecko technique.”
As soon as the notification sound fell, Chu Xiao sensed that a secret manual had appeared in the system space. On the cover, it was written with the Gecko Five-Color Technique.
Chu Xiao's mind sank into it. After a brief inspection, he understood the specific situation of this martial art.
The Gecko Five-Color Technique was a strange technique. After cultivating it, one could be like a gecko, blending their body into the various colors of heaven and earth.
When it came to mountain rocks, it was mountain rocks.
When they encountered a forest, it was a forest.
Without any special means, it was very difficult for ordinary people to discover the traces of the Gecko's Five-Colored Technique. Even if it was close at hand, it would be difficult to recognize it. It was just like the gecko in nature, or even more realistic and superior.
It was an extremely profound concealment technique.
However, the Gecko Five-Color Technique was not something that just anyone could cultivate. The conditions for cultivating it were very harsh and time-consuming.
If one wanted to cultivate, the most basic thing was to start cultivating the bones from a young age. Only after one had succeeded in cultivating the bones could one truly cultivate the Gecko Five-Color Technique.
As such, this cultivation method was of little value to Chu Xiao.
After flipping through a few pages, Chu Xiao lost interest and stopped wasting time.
However, Chu Xiao was not very depressed. There were many martial arts similar to the Gecko Five-Color Technique in Jianghu, and the cultivation conditions were often very harsh. Only talented people could practice it from a young age.
Even a flower, an evaluation ticket, or a monthly ticket would do.
