In the past few days, Su Chen often teased the two beautiful spies. He either asked them to dress and wash up, or asked them to serve tea and water. It was also because the weather was not cold now, so there was no need to warm the bed.
The two women secretly gritted their teeth at Su Chen, but when they thought about how they were sent here as spies, they could only grit their teeth and endure it again and again. It was also because Su Chen had not crossed the line yet.
"Sir, we have a clue!"
On this day, Su Chen was handling official business at the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'station when he saw Azure Dragon carrying the Fourteen Forces of Great Ming, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird walk in with large strides and greet them with cupped fists.
"Oh, tell me!"
Su Chen put down the document in his hand and looked up at the three of them.
"Our spies in the capital, including all the spies from other forces, have not found any traces of Gu Santong!”
Azure Dragon said slowly," In the end, I could only act rashly and follow Zhu Bujue. It was not until yesterday that I saw him in disguise and holding someone hostage. He entered the prison of the East Chamber and stayed there for about two hours before he came out alone!”
"He didn't notice you?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Zhu Bujue was a martial grandmaster. Azure Dragon's strength was still far from enough, yet he actually dared to follow him.
"Disguising is a special skill of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. I didn't follow them too closely, so Zhu Bujue definitely wouldn't be able to discover me!”
Speaking of this, a hint of arrogance appears on Azure Dragon's face. He is just short of patting his chest and making a guarantee.
"Tell me the location of the prison. You can go and do your work!”
Su Chen thought for a while and waved his hand.
These words made Azure Dragon and the other two confused. However, they still left behind the detailed location of that place and went down to do their own things.
Su Chen looked at the place marked by the Green Dragon on the Geomancy Map of the capital and guessed that the ancient three links were most likely hidden there.
Zhu Bujue was a smart person. He didn't hide them in the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, but in the East Chamber. What a trick!
Su Chen was only guessing wrong now. He was not completely confident. He planned to wait until late at night before making a trip personally to see if the famous Undefeated Wanderer was here.
That night, just after midnight, Su Chen opened his eyes on the bed. His gaze was like lightning, illuminating the entire room at that moment. Then, he stood up.
In the pavilion outside Su Chen's room, Liu Ruoxi and Liu Shengpiao were sleeping soundly. They had been tormented by Su Chen for the past few days.
Su Chen changed into a night suit and covered his face with a black cloth. He quietly opened the window and entered the darkness in a flash, heading in the direction of the prison in the East Hall.
At night, the capital was less noisy than during the day. Other than the night watchmen, there were only the Imperial Guards patrolling the streets occasionally.
Su Chen's figure disappeared into the darkness and soon arrived outside the prison.
From the outside, the prison was heavily guarded. Not only were there East Hall soldiers on duty at all times, but there were also people coming in and out from time to time. Moreover, there were faint wails coming from inside.
Su Chen watched from the outside for a while before his figure moved. The East Chamber Fan who was standing guard outside only felt a breeze blowing on his face, but he could not see a single person. He had already entered the prison.
In the prison, the East Chamber's foreigners were torturing the prisoners who had just been caught. The pungent smell of blood was everywhere, mixed with an indescribable stench.
Su Chen went deep into the prison and found that besides the officials of the imperial court who had been captured by the East Hall, there were also many Jianghu people. They were all tortured beyond recognition and were thrown into the prison on the verge of death.
The deeper he went, the more Su Chen realized that he was no longer on the ground. Moreover, the person imprisoned here was at least at the Connate Realm.
"These people were probably secretly captured by Cao Zhengchun from all over the world!”
Su Chen guessed in his heart. The entire Divine Continent was so vast that ordinary people would find it difficult to walk all the way in their entire lives. There were even more martial artists, and there were often people who disappeared inexplicably.
Some of them might have traveled the world, some were harmed by evil cultivators, and a large number of them were secretly captured, or used as furnaces, or experimented with cultivation techniques.
There were too many such things. Su Chen only sighed briefly before continuing to delve deeper.
When they reached the last floor of the prison, Su Chen stood at the door of the last cell with a frown.
He could feel that the person in this cell was a One Fate Grandmaster. Unlike those Connate realm experts who had only had their scapula pierced, this person's meridians had even been severed in his four limbs. He was then hung in the air with chains.
However, Su Chen had yet to find any trace of Gu Santong.
"No!"
Su Chen suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. This was the prison of the East Hall. The people imprisoned inside were all Jianghu people captured by Cao Zhengchun. On the surface, there were still those criminals as cover. No matter how resourceful Zhu Bujue was, it was impossible for him to hide people in the prison.
Then, Su Chen stood where he was and mobilized his true qi to search inch by inch along the surface of the ground to see if there were any secret passages or traps.
After a while, Su Chen raised his eyebrows. His figure flashed to the right side of the last floor. The prison here was abandoned, but it was locked.
After breaking the lock, Su Chen walked in, squatted down, and grabbed a wooden board in the corner.
When he had just released his true energy perception, there was something strange here. When he came over, he saw that it was indeed a passageway. There was actually another level below.
Su Chen jumped down without hesitation. The passage below was narrow, and the widest part could only accommodate two people walking side by side. The height was no more than ten feet, and some places even had to bend down to pass.
After walking along the passage for about two to three minutes, Su Chen realized that the place had slowly opened up, and there were more corpses on the ground.
Judging from the bones left behind, these people were probably experts when they were alive. Even if there were only white bones left, they still had a crystalline color.
Not long after, Su Chen's ears twitched and he heard the sound of chains shaking. After turning a corner, he found a cave that was ten feet wide.
The first thing Su Chen saw was a huge stone tablet. It was dozens of feet tall and almost touched the top.
Below the stone tablet sat a figure with disheveled hair. He was bound by chains that extended from the stone tablet and was motionless like a dead man.
Next to the figure was a corpse. It looked terrible. The entire corpse had shriveled up like a dried corpse.
With the faint light from the oil lamp on the wall, Su Chen saw the words on the stone tablet clearly. It was the words " Godly Marquis Tiedan."
Just as Su Chen was in a daze, something strange happened. The originally motionless figure seemed to have come to life and suddenly opened his eyes!
