Chapter 202: Demons and Monsters in Chaotic Times, Saints in Prosperous Times

After some tossing and turning.

This Qingfeng, a young Daoist bearing the Heaven and Earth Luck, finally yielded to Li Heng's tyrannical might, obediently... revealing his Luck Anomaly, which radiated to the surroundings like a small lightbulb.

Li Heng nodded with satisfaction; this was what one called obedient.

"Do not withdraw your Luck Anomaly for now."

He instructed Qingfeng, his mind sensing these Luck Anomalies, able to perceive the profound Dao rhyme contained within, stirring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles.

Previously, when Qingfeng displayed his Luck Anomaly before the crowd of Innate experts—forming dragons and tigers, purple mist permeating from the east, and the chanting of the Dao Scripture, manifesting a scene of Heaven and Earth—he had vaguely felt the Heaven and Earth Principles fluctuate.

Within the radiation range of Qingfeng's Luck Anomaly, he discovered that his own speed of comprehending the Heaven and Earth Principles was accelerating. These Heaven and Earth Principles were no longer ethereal and elusive, but within reach.

This was indeed as he had expected.

This young Daoist Qingfeng could be used as a cultivation accelerator.

However, thinking about it carefully, that was not strange.

This young Daoist Qingfeng bore the Heaven and Earth Luck and was favored by Heaven and Earth, so the Heaven and Earth Principles and rules around him would naturally lean toward him. When others comprehended the Heaven and Earth Principles, the principles were far from them. But when the young Daoist Qingfeng comprehended the principles, the principles were very close to him.

Now, Li Heng was also basking in the light of this young Daoist Qingfeng.

This could not help but make Li Heng sigh with emotion.

Having Luck was like using a cheat code or having a VIP subscription.

No wonder there is a saying that when the time comes, Heaven and Earth all exert their strength together...

While using Qingfeng's Luck Anomaly to cultivate and accelerate his comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Principles, Li Heng also pondered slightly: what kind of event could have given birth to such a person who bears the Heaven and Earth Luck?

An ancient saying goes: when the world is in chaos, demons and monsters emerge; when the world is prosperous, Saints appear.

Now that the world is in chaos, many demons and Weird entities have already emerged.

So, is the young Daoist Qingfeng one of the so-called Saints, a person destined to end the chaos and usher in a prosperous age? After all, that level of Luck Anomaly absolutely could not appear just by chance.

If someone said Qingfeng was a reincarnated banished immortal, he would believe it.

If things were truly as he thought, then there would be trouble.

The person destined to end the chaos and usher in a prosperous age had encountered such a trouble that subverted their own foundation, their Luck in Chaos, bearing the Heaven and Earth Luck, turning into bearing the Heaven and Earth Misfortune...

Did this mean that the entire Heaven and Earth had undergone a mutation?

Although this speculation was too inconceivable, even a bit like worrying about the sky falling, Li Heng vaguely felt that this concern was very necessary and must be planned for.

Perhaps the Great Li authorities and the noble families knew something?

After all, their attitudes were all very ambiguous.

They were not that keen on clearing out demons and Weird entities.

It was as if they were facing an irresistible catastrophe and had simply given up.

Calming these thoughts, Li Heng's heart returned to tranquility. Soldiers come, block with a shield; water comes, cover with earth. Thinking about these things now was not as good as temporarily raising his own strength.

Strength was the foundation of everything.

Thinking this, he quietly sensed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles, only pitying the young Daoist Qingfeng who was acting as a lightbulb on the side...

The Heavenly Prison of Jinhua City could actually be called a dungeon.

It was located a hundred zhang deep beneath the city, with an area half the size of the city itself; every cell was built with Hundred-Refined Fine Steel, and no one below the Innate realm could destroy it.

The cells holding Innate experts were even equipped with strict restrictions, connected to the surrounding earth. Unless this Innate expert had the power to shake the earth around Jinhua City, they could not escape at all.

This was the exact reason why Ma Suxuan was so calm.

Since she was locked up here, she could not escape.

She could only wait for someone to fish her out.

In fact, when she was blocked outside the city gate by Jin Feihai, she had already figured everything out. Jin Feihai might have the ability to cut off the connection between Bei'an County and the Prefecture, making the request for help sink like a stone in the ocean, severing her various arrangements in the Prefecture.

But Jin Feihai absolutely did not have the ability to openly block her outside the city, or even say those words, strip her of her official position, and throw her into the Heavenly Prison. There must have been others involved, such as the noble families.

Among them, the one she suspected most was the family she came from.

"Fifth Uncle, did you seize this opportunity?"

Ma Suxuan whispered softly.

Immediately after, she shook her head again.

No matter what, even if she was caught here.

She would not choose to go back.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Footsteps sounded, approaching from afar, echoing in the empty Heavenly Prison. Immediately after, lights turned on in the gloomy environment, and she saw a person standing outside the cell.

Ma Suxuan was startled at the sight, "Grand Division Chief?"

Xuan Dao stood at the cell, looking at Ma Suxuan, and could not help but shake his head. "This is the first time I've seen you, girl, in such a sorry state; usually you're the one locking people in the Heavenly Prison, and now you've ended up inside yourself."

"If it weren't for the fact that official business is urgent, I would have wanted to give you an Investigation Dossier to let you fill out what the experience of being in jail is like."

"Come out, it's fine now."

He waved his hand, lifting the surrounding restrictions; without the restrictions, those Hundred-Refined Fine Steel railings were as fragile as paper to an Innate expert, and could even be ignored directly.

"Grand Division Chief, why did you come out of seclusion? Did you save me?"

Ma Suxuan was very confused.

Xuan Dao had only just entered seclusion, right?

By logic, no matter how fast the progress was, it would probably take ten years to come out of seclusion, and whether he could break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm was another matter.

"Yes, I came out of seclusion, having been woken up by someone."

"And I was beaten up by someone too," Xuan Dao said indignantly.

If it weren't for this matter, would he be in such a miserable state now? It had caused his injuries to not even be healed yet.

At this moment, Ma Suxuan noticed the wounds on Xuan Dao's body and was stunned. She wondered to herself, wasn't the Grand Division Chief the number one powerhouse in Jinhua City? Why would he still be beaten up by someone?

Could it be that the old man in the Dharma Aspect Realm has popped out?

"So, what about Jin Feihai?"

"Rest assured, I know you were wronged; come on out. As for Jin Feihai..." Xuan Dao's expression turned strange.

"Well, he's dead, died very cleanly."

Ma Suxuan was startled again upon hearing this.

What was going on? Jin Feihai was actually dead? She had been thinking about how to take revenge on him once she got out of prison, but he had died so cleanly?

"Don't look at me with that suspicious gaze; you know exactly what happened," Xuan Dao noted Ma Suxuan's expression and said irritably.

I know exactly what happened?

"Could it be that someone from the Ma Family came?"

Ma Suxuan felt a jolt in her heart and asked aloud. If someone from the family really had come, then she was truly finished; she would have to go back. Even if she didn't want to go back, she would likely be dragged back.

"Asking when you already know the answer—are you playing dumb?"

"I'm telling you, girl, where did you make such a fierce friend? Not only did he ring the Jinhua Bell and make the Jinhua Bell recognize him as its master, but he also killed Jin Feihai right in front of me and many Second Heaven experts from the noble families."

"In the end, he even beat me up; look at these injuries on my body."

Xuan Dao shook his head with a sigh.

"It's just that this friend of yours is too wild, so wild that I wouldn't dare associate with him. He actually threatened so many Second Heaven experts to give him an explanation, apologize to him, and release you all at the same time."

"Now, I don't even know how this matter is going to end."

"You had better hurry out and persuade that friend of yours."

"Lest he really stirs up some unimaginable trouble."

Ma Suxuan was completely stunned as she listened to the string of words.

"A friend?" she asked in astonishment.

"That's right, a friend. Didn't you guess?"

Xuan Dao frowned and said in confusion.

"Division Chief, you know me. Aside from my man, where would I, Ma Suxuan, have any friends? Could it be my subordinates? But they should have either defected or died, right?"

Ma Suxuan frowned and asked Xuan Dao in return.

Xuan Dao was also stunned upon hearing this.

"He did indeed say he was your old friend, and he caused such a huge commotion to stand up for you. Oh, right, it was a man and a woman, and they both looked quite young."

"The man is very strong; he beat me up. I'm not sure about the woman; she looked quite pretty, but her aura was quite weak."

Ma Suxuan was stunned again upon hearing this.

In fact, she had already associated this with a certain person, but upon hearing Xuan Dao say it was a man and a woman, she became a bit uncertain. That powerhouse shouldn't have a woman by his side, right?

"Forget it, I'll go see for myself who it is."

Ma Suxuan said, frowning.

Her sixth sense told her.

The result would absolutely shock her!

As soon as she finished speaking, a flame flashed in the cell, and in an instant, Ma Suxuan arrived outside the cell and stood beside Xuan Dao.

"Your Fire Escape Technique has become increasingly refined, and yet it hasn't been long at all," Xuan Dao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

Ma Suxuan smiled without answering.

That Fire Seed had been of great benefit to her.

"Let's go, your man is locked in the cell outside. I passed by and took a look earlier, and I discovered he is about to advance to the Second Heaven realm; he's likely only half a step away. Your eye for people is actually quite good."

Xuan Dao mentioned it casually and prepared to walk out.

At this moment, someone else walked in from outside—or rather, they were running; the footsteps were extremely hurried, and they nearly bumped into the two of them at a corner of the staircase.

"Qiushui, why are you here?"

Ma Suxuan raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"Uh, Aunt, I came to save you."

Ma Qiushui looked at the two of them, froze for a moment, and hurriedly took out the Token in her hand to explain.

"Wait, Aunt, how did you get out?"

"You didn't break out of prison, did you?"

"Do I look like someone who would break out of prison? The Division Chief let me out." Ma Suxuan tapped Ma Qiushui on the head.

"Alright, Aunt accepts your good intentions, go on out."

She looked at the Token in Ma Qiushui's hand and smiled slightly, lost in thought. Fifth Uncle's Token... Are you planning to have me owe another favor because you saw that things were impossible?

Heh...

The three of them arrived at the outer cell.

Inside the cell, Meng Lingyun sat cross-legged on the ground, his aura surging; suddenly, it sublimated to the extreme, and the Essence Qi Spirit Three Flowers manifestation emerged, gathering above his head, achieving the Three Flowers and advancing to the Second Heaven realm.

He returned to his youth, completely restored to his peak middle-aged state.

He stood up immediately, his momentum surging and powerful.

"Suxuan, hold on, I'm here to save you!"

Meng Lingyun spoke in a cold voice, his aura surging, intending to break open the Hundred-Refined Fine Steel cell and storm into the depths of the prison to rescue Ma Suxuan. At this moment, the dim cell lit up.

"Alright, alright, I accept your good intentions, come on out."

"If I really had to rely on you to save me, I would have died long ago."

Seeing this, Ma Suxuan reached out her hand from outside the cell and said with a smile.

Meng Lingyun was dumbfounded at the sight, instantly left in a daze...

After a long while, Ma Suxuan, Meng Lingyun, Xuan Dao, and Ma Qiushui, the four of them finally walked out of the Heavenly Prison and returned to the surface of Jinhua City, and these two "prisoners" saw the light of day once again.

Although Ma Suxuan had already explained it before.

But Meng Lingyun's face was still somewhat red.

Someone had saved them.

So it turned out that it didn't matter whether he had broken through or not? And that speech he gave after his breakthrough had actually been heard by Ma Suxuan, and even the other two.

Even if his skin were thicker, he still couldn't take this!

However, he also understood that important matters came first, and at the same time, he was very curious about who exactly had saved them, so he walked quickly to the front of the Bell Tower.

He saw strange phenomena appearing above the Bell Tower, and a surging, majestic aura shot straight into the sky. Standing beside it on the Bell Tower was a woman of peerless beauty, blocking a youth who looked anxious and was shouting loudly.

"Really, this is truly an urgent matter!"

"You all should run quickly, otherwise you will surely die; my grandfather said that those noble families will not let you off."

Ma Xingkong looked at Kong Que and said with a sincere expression.
