Chapter 49: Prison Warden Wan Tianlong



Chapter 49: Prison Warden Wan Tianlong

The prisoners in various cellblocks heard the terrifying wolf howls, which got on everyones nerves.

The wolf spirits are invading again. Whats happening?

I heard thousands died from the last attack. It looks like wed better run for our lives; if not, we might become the next victims.

Most of the prison guards have been transferred out. If we dont escape now, then when will we?

Thats right. Remaining only leads to death. At least theres still a chance to survive if we run.

A few prisoners were tempted. They did not want to stay locked up for the rest of their lives, so they decided to escape.

A quick look at shorturl.at/mCEOX will leave you more fulfilled.

In a moment, a commotion broke out in the mountain prison.

The prison had deployed most of the guards to fight the wolf spirits, and the remaining ones were too weak to put down the riot.

Wan Tianlong, who had been recuperating, was alerted. Despite his grave injuries, he instructed his daughter to help him into his armor.

Father, you have yet to fully recover, Wan Lanxin told him worriedly.

My health is secondary. If I dont contain the situation and the prison turns chaotic, Ill have a hard time answering for it, Wan Tianlong answered with a pale face.

After the armor-clad warden mounted the bull spirit, his spirits picked up somewhat. With his weapon in hand, he called to the followers in his courtyard, Join me in battle!

The ten-odd people present were the wardens confidants. They all knelt and responded in unison, Well follow you to the battlefield!

Turning to look at his daughter, Wan Tianlong instructed, Ill leave all the cellblocks under your charge. Do whatever it takes to maintain order; dont be soft-hearted!

Looking at her fathers resolute expression, Wan Lanxin nodded solemnly. Father, rest assured. I wont disappoint you!

The man gave a gratified smile and left for the battlefield with his men.

As a prison warden, even with his grave injuries, he had no excuse not to fight. Otherwise, his appointment as the prison warden would be over.

The woman watched her father depart with clear reverence in her pretty eyes. This was her father, a man who did his duty without flinching. After that, she mounted her leopard with her spear to inspect the prison.

In a room not far away, Wang Jiuzhong continued meditating, unperturbed.

He was a formidable King, unlike others. Under the many years of duress and the loss of much of his blood, his body had sustained heavy damage, and his cultivation had dropped significantly. As a result, his recovery would take some time.

Although he had swallowed a few aged herbs, spiritual herbs, animal spirit meat, and even an inferior-grade profound spirit stone offered by Lie Fang, these only allowed him to recover thirty percent of his former power.

He would need a few more days to recuperate to fifty percent. Only if he obtained a rare sovereign herb might he recover to seventy percent. Returning to his peak form would require a very long convalescence.

Of course, how could he not know that ten thousand wolves had descended upon the mountain prison? However, he chose not to interfere and ignored the commotion outside the courtyard.

He had needed human blood in the past to keep his own flowing. However, he did not have to rely on devouring foreign matter to recuperate, especially not now.

Once I have thoroughly restored myself and returned to the sect, Ill seek out and kill that Evil Boy King! the man swore to himself inwardly.

He decided it was time to leave this dangerous place and prepared to go. He could sense a Spirit King approaching; although he was not afraid, it was inconvenient for him to expend his strength in a war.

The man recalled a certain youth and thought to himself, I wonder, what happened to that interesting brat? I wouldnt mind having him as a disciple. He had street smarts and some talents. Then, he walked toward block 68.

But before he could advance beyond a few steps, Lie Ziying rushed up to him and knelt down. Lord Wang, a Spirit King is attacking. The creature thinks there was a Kings treasure in the bloody pit and is washing my prison in blood.

Wang Jiuzhong ignored the mans plea and continued on his way. To the King, the life and death of others did not concern him.

When Lie Ziying saw that the King was unmoved, he took out a jade box and said, Lord Wang, I have a top-notch spiritual pill here. I wont ask for you to eliminate the Wolf King; all Im asking is for you to accept me as your discipleeven if just a nominal disciple! ILie Ziyingwould have no regrets!

This healing pill was given to him by his father. He hadnt found a chance to present it to Wang Jiuzhong before, but he knew if he didnt do it now, he would never have a chance to once the King left.

Wang Jiuzhong looked over his shoulder and stretched out his arm, easily retrieving the box. When he opened the box and saw the potent healing pill, he was delighted and immediately swallowed it. After that, he turned to Lie Ziying impassively and retorted, Youre too old to be my disciple.

The younger man had a sudden impulse to fight the King to the death when he heard that. How am I old?!

Lie Ziying had yet to turn thirty and was already a recognized cultivator in the General Realm. No matter where he went, he was regarded as an outstanding young man. Now, this person standing before him had actually dismissed him as old; this was as annoying as that guy who had addressed him as uncle.

However, he naturally did not dare to disagree with the King. All he could do was maintain his silence with his head bowed. He would be courting death if he were to antagonize the powerful man.

As Wang Jiuzhong continued on his way, the young mans face turned ashen with regret. His precious pill was given for nothing.

At this time, the Kings voice reached his ears. Well, you can be my nominal disciple, for now, and run some errands for me. If you serve me well, I dont mind imparting you a few moves.

Thank you, Master! Lie Ziying was overjoyed, kowtowing while crying with glee.

To the latter, this was a glimmer of hope and another chance.

------

On the battlefield, Meng Helang faced off with Lang Jie. He reckoned that, with his strength, he could at least hold off the Wolf King even if he could not defeat the latter. Alas, this was a miscalculation. The power of a King should not be underestimated. Before the mans strikes could even land on the Wolf King, they were effortlessly repulsed, totally ineffectual. On the other hand, Lang Jie simply clawed, looking like a golden hammer swinging through the air, and smashed Meng Helangs armor. Blood flowed as the man retreated, gritting his teeth against the pain. Had he been a step slower, the claw would no doubt have eviscerated him.

How audacious of you to challenge me, a King, with your meager strength! Youre only good for an appetizer! Lang Jie snorted before pouncing on Meng Helang with its jaws agape, poised to bite his head off.

The terrifying animal spirits aura coming at the man rendered him immobile. However, his face evinced no fear. Instead, there was a manic cast to his eyes as he yelled, Ill ride on your Kings aura to climb to the next level, even if this costs me my life!

He managed to improve his combat prowess several times, the Profound Energy armor he condensed becoming stronger and stronger. Slowly, a vague pair of wings formed. Although the effort was insufficient, it was enough to escape Lang Jies clutches and send a stunning chop at the latter with his sword, forcing the wolf spirit to dodge.

The other seven Eagle Knights immediately dashed in to assist their leader. Getting into formation with Meng Helang, they managed to surround Lang Jie.

The eight of them were Superior Grade Generals, at the very least. Working together, they formed a powerful formation that could already take on a King. This allowed Deputy Warden Lie Feng and his group of prison guards to concentrate on fighting the other wolf spirits.

Unfortunately, there were too many animal spirits attacking. Furthermore, they were scattered all over the mountain prison. This assault was much more violent than the previous one. Besieged by so many powerful Wolf Generals, the mountain prison seemed doomed.

Lie Feng had a feeling that Smoke Signal Mountain Prison would be no more after this battle. In fact, he expected to die this time.

I just hope my son gets his wish; then, my death will not be in vain! the man thought to himself.

One could not help feeling sorry for this father.

Just when many guards were at the end of their rope, a loud voice thundered, Kill whoever invades my mountain prison!

The prison warden, Wan Tianlong, had arrived.

Riding his bull spirit, Wan Tianlong slashed his way through the wolf pack, slaughtering a row of wolf spirits each time. One could not tell that this man was on the brink of death.

When many prison guards saw him, their spirits recovered, and they repeated his war cry in unison, Kill whoever invades my mountain prison!

The warden was their pillar of strength; Lie Fangs prestige was in no way comparable.

As the latter watched the armored warden in action, bitterness filled his heart.

Arroo!

Lang Jie howled in anger, leading the rest of the wolves to follow suit. The baying reverberated, terrorizing many.

The wolves scattered, attacking all the humans and devouring them, apparently determined to eradicate the people in the mountain prison.

The prisoners in the cellblocks panicked and started trying to escape. Wan Lanxin led her troop of thirty guards to patrol the entire prison, killing dozens of these prisoners on the spot. She commanded, Kill without mercy any prisoner who tries to escape!

Even her heavy armor could not conceal her sexy, slender figure. She looked valiant and saucy on her snow leopard, brandishing her spear with one hand.

Some prisoners were stunned by this sweet-looking officer who killed without batting an eyelid, and dared not make any bold moves.

The womans mind, though, was on Yang Wu in block 7, so she continued to that cellblock without stopping.

Along the way, a number of prisoners perished under her spear. She might be a lady, but she was a true warrior capable of killing.

Besides those escapees, she also took down the wolf spirits that crossed her path. Her combat prowess was equal to a Medial Grade Generals.

In short order, she killed her way to block 7.

Block 7 was in close proximity to block 8, and the closest to the battlefield. So, it had the most wolf spiritsas many as dozensventuring into this area, devouring many prisoners.

While most prisoners were fleeing in fear, a young man battled eight wolf spirits by himself with a black puppy perched on his shoulder, thus calming the nerves of many prisoners.

When Wan Lanxin reached block 7, a startling sight greeted her. A bare-chested young man was suppressing a Spirit Warrior wolf under his feet with his hands and using the thick chains binding his legs to smash the wolf. Then, he twisted off the wolfs head, leaving the corpse in two pieces.

The man was covered in blood, but a Profound Energy cicada shell was vaguely visible underneath it. He was like a growing young dragon revealing its might for the first time!
