Chapter 155: Du En Enters Prison

Nanmo Inner City.

The road leading straight to the entrance has already been scrubbed clean.

Looking up at the inner city wall, it is a standard square-shaped structure that encloses the inner city area; it can be said to be the final line of defense, guarding the most critical and vital sector of this border city.

At the same time, this square-shaped wall is the Inner City Affairs Office itself!

Within the wide city walls are all sorts of rooms, housing the inner city elite; it is like a military camp. Du En arrived here and saw that everyone coming and going was silent and orderly, tight-lipped and solemn, their footsteps appearing exceptionally steady and powerful.

And they are all at the Foundation Establishment stage!

If this density is the same in other sections, combined with the wall width seen earlier, then the total scale should be around five thousand people.

Adding in the various parts of the inner and outer cities, the total number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire Nanmo Border City should be maintained at twenty to thirty thousand, or perhaps even more.

Following the inner city elite through the Inner City Affairs Office, one officially arrives at the inner city.

The inner city elite squad leader is also, for this situation, like a bride getting on a sedan chair for the very first time!

Therefore, his response at this moment was unexpectedly hesitant, failing to maintain his usual demeanor.

At the same time, in this inner city where spiritual energy is extremely abundant, it is also the only place that is an exception.

Du En looked ahead; in this dim and lightless Forbidden Prison, there were rows of cells, the style no different from ordinary cells, mostly large ones.

Inside those pitch-black, light-impermeable doors, it is like a true hell; once one enters, no sound comes out.

If they say they will gouge out your eyes, they really will!

Creak—

"The Superintendent's meaning is very clear: you will go in obediently!"

Among the buildings of the inner city, there are also many production sites, only the people working here are all at the Foundation Establishment stage; the density of personnel is lower, but they produce various finished products of the second and third tiers—it can be called a production zone concentrated with master craftsmen.

"So, there really isn't anything else? I mean, I don't need to be stripped of my belongings, left with only my undergarments, nor do I need to have my magic power sealed or be put in shackles..."

But now Du En could not linger and could only be escorted to one of the locations.

"Yes, that is correct. As long as your suspicions, Patrol Guard Du, are cleared up later, you will naturally be released, so of course these measures are unnecessary."

Because as the name implies, it is a prison that forbids spiritual energy and seals magic power!

Everyone imprisoned here is a Foundation Establishment cultivator; not only are they fitted with heavy shackles to seal their magic power, but their spiritual energy is also restricted to a level barely enough to maintain their fasting.

No matter how they pleaded, the jailers' expressions did not change; the louder they shouted, the rougher the jailers' actions became, and some people even had several bones broken.

The truly comfortable kind!

Because in terms of the quality of spiritual energy, it is estimated to be as high as the fifth tier!

Even the wind blowing against one's face makes the whole body feel comfortable.

The inner city elite are responsible for catching people, stripping them of their belongings, and sealing their magic power, while the jailers of the Forbidden Prison are responsible for pulling, dragging, and kicking people, tossing them all into the Forbidden Prison.

【Hundred Arts: Spirit Seeking (Proficient 25/50)】

Du En looked up at this Forbidden Prison.

"I'm wrongly accused! My lord! I really am wrongly accused!"

Because he was dressed normally, without any shackles, and followed by the old head jailer serving him, he looked just like an inspector.

Yet even so, they still wailed miserably.

The old prisoners originally had no reaction, but as soon as Du En entered, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Therefore, the entrance here appeared quite lively.

"Damn it! You must follow the rules! Why can you arrest people for no reason without evidence!"

By the time he reached the entrance of the Forbidden Prison, Du En had managed to grind his proficiency in Spirit Seeking to halfway through this stage by intentionally dragging his feet along the way!

Once he walks through it again when leaving prison, this skill of Spirit Seeking will be able to reach 'Small Success'!

The old head jailer's ability to lie through his teeth is truly strong; he was actually able to say that without changing his expression, and his attitude was also very good.

The old head jailer locked the door and immediately revealed his true colors, walking over quickly with a fierce and menacing look, scaring the prisoners into retreating, each using their disheveled hair and dirty faces to cover their features, shrinking their bodies to avoid being recognized and subjected to beatings.

Within reason, yet beyond expectations!

But for now, he still has to go into the prison for a trip.

Can't help but be curious!

What exactly is going on?

"What are you looking at? Keep looking and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Anyway, with the toughness of a Foundation Establishment body, even if the eyeballs were truly gouged out, even under these circumstances, it would take a few years of effort to grow them back.

"Rules? Evidence? The rules and evidence of the Forbidden Prison are: you get in there!"

"I have shed blood for the border city! I have worked my life away for the Superintendent! You cannot do this! I want to see the Superintendent! I want to see the Superintendent!"

Then, they watched helplessly as Du En was sent into a single cell in the innermost part, and they couldn't help but press against the bars to look, but they could only see a tiny glimpse.

"Heh! Everyone who comes here claims they are wrongly accused; I think it's just that they won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Get in there!"

When the jailers saw this "big shot" arrive, they all lowered their heads, pretending not to see him; only an old head jailer came up to greet him, leading him into the Forbidden Prison with a polite attitude.

Glancing and estimating the strength of these people, then carefully sensing the structural strength and protective measures of the Forbidden Prison, Du En, who determined that he could still escape if a conflict truly broke out, followed them in quite calmly.

Naturally, it contains a third-tier spiritual herb garden and spiritual field area...

So, staying here for a long time, even for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, one's cultivation will only gradually deplete until eventually, the realm falls, or even the Dao dissipates and the body dies!

It is also very obvious that anyone who has lived in the city knows what kind of place the Inner City Forbidden Prison is.

"Your room is this one, a single cell; you don't need to worry about them being noisy. If you have any other needs in the future, as long as it's not excessive and doesn't exceed the few basic rules of the prison, then it can be arranged for you. I hope you can stay in peace."

Those who were arrested before him were all scattered and thrown into different multi-person cells.

However, today, a "big shot" had just arrived, and the Superintendent had personally given orders, so the old head jailer didn't put on any bloody show right away; he just tapped on the bars and gradually walked away.

The ground-level building appeared unremarkable, like the entrance to some hidden bunker; there were no windows, only a door standing wide open, the interior dark and deep, difficult to see through from the outside.

Abundant in spiritual energy, ethereal and elegant.

And so.

That cultivation base, already precarious, would accelerate its collapse and disintegration because of this!

In the past, the jailers meant what they said when dealing with them, striking with ruthless cruelty, their hands stained with more blood the older they grew.

Thereupon, Du En nodded slightly and lifted a foot to step into the Forbidden Prison.

Du En stopped in his tracks at this moment and looked toward that squad of Inner City elites who had been made nervous by his dawdling.

They were near the entrance, limp and lacking strength, unaccustomed to having their magic power sealed and unaccustomed to spiritual Qi being essentially cut off.

If one were to cultivate here, even with the worst low-grade spiritual root, the speed could increase by ten or twenty percent; it truly is a rare treasure land!

Gao Feng had his subordinates make arrests according to the list, and after searching the chaotic Outer City for quite a while, they finally captured everyone on the list who wasn't dead; they were currently stripping their clothes at the entrance, applying various shackles, and lining up to wait for imprisonment.

The gate of the Forbidden Prison leading to the outside world was closed from the inside by the jailers.
