Chapter 1660: Chapter 1660: The Trembling Prisoners

This person is known as the Long Lie Celestial Emperor.

As a Seventy-layered Immortal Emperor, he commands more than a dozen Fifty-layered Immortal Emperors, and hundreds of Immortal Emperors ranging from the Thirty-third to Forty-ninth layers. The sudden disappearance of dozens of subordinates naturally caught his attention.

The Long Lie Celestial Emperor asked in a deep voice, "Did you find anything strange at the site of their disappearance?"

The Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor shook his head, his face somewhat panic-stricken, and said, "No, this phenomenon is bizarre yet familiar, just like..."

"Like what?" Long Lie Celestial Emperor raised an eyebrow.

"Just like when we were inside the Black Prison, someone was devoured by the Black Prison Demonic Beast. The entire process was silent and left no trace, which was terrifying," said the Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor, trembling.

Upon hearing this, the Long Lie Celestial Emperor’s pupils constricted.

Black Prison Demonic Beast!

For him, this name was akin to a nightmare, making even him shiver with cold.

"Could it really be him?"

The Long Lie Celestial Emperor gasped.

The surrounding Immortal Emperors were also struck, involuntarily envisioning the nightmarish figure of the Black Prison Demonic Beast, which was frightening.

"Is it really the Black Prison Demonic Beast?"

"I heard he was injured by a mysterious Ninety-three Layered Immortal Emperor?"

"Moreover, the Black Prison is broken, the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s power is weakened, he should be severely injured, and he can’t leave the Black Prison, how could he kill people?"

"I don’t believe it’s him!"

The surrounding Immortal Emperors all shook their heads.

It was well-known that the Black Prison Demonic Beast couldn’t leave the Black Prison, otherwise, why would they dare to escape? Even if they escaped the Black Prison, they would still be captured.

"Shall we go to the Black Prison to take a look?"

A Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor trembled as he spoke.

"Then you go!" another Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor shook his head repeatedly, "That wretched place, I wouldn’t go even if you beat me to death."

"We are all prisoners of the Black Prison, with dense evil thoughts. Once we enter there, we might be discovered by the Black Prison Demonic Beast, so we can arrange for cultivators with lighter evil thoughts to scout inside."

The Long Lie Celestial Emperor proposed his idea.

The Immortal Emperors immediately expressed their agreement.

An hour later.

An Immortal Venerable Peak, imprinted with a Divine Soul Mark by the Long Lie Celestial Emperor, flew towards the Black Prison at great speed.

This person wore armor crafted by the Long Lie Celestial Emperor, his shuttling speed comparable to a Thirty-three Layered Immortal Emperor, and his defense was extremely strong, able to handle ordinary dangers.

"Let’s just wait."

The Long Lie Celestial Emperor sat in the main seat, looking at a large light curtain in front, which displayed the scenes the Immortal Venerable saw, making one feel as if they were there.

An hour later.

Black Prison Peak.

Due to the Black Prison being broken, the difficulty of climbing here has decreased significantly, and with the Immortal Venerable wearing special armor, he quickly reached the mountain top.

"Where is the Black Prison Demonic Beast?"

"Why is there no one?"

"Let this scout circle around the ancient tree, attempt to enter the tree... huh, after circling, there’s still no trace of the Black Prison Demonic Beast, and surprisingly, we can’t approach the tree!"

Through the images, everyone found that there was no sign of the Black Prison Demonic Beast at the top of Black Prison Peak, not even near the floating ancient tree in the void.

As for entering the ancient tree, it was impossible.

That’s because the ancient tree has a powerful repulsive force field, even a Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor cannot approach without the Black Prison Demonic Beast’s permission.

"Under normal circumstances, the Black Prison Demonic Beast usually rests on the tree crown, why is it gone now?"

"Could it be..."

Everyone thought of a possibility, becoming horrified.

"Hurry, I need to see Hei Sha Immortal Emperor!"

The Long Lie Celestial Emperor quickly got up and flew swiftly towards a place in the Immortal Realm.

Little did they know, the Black Prison Demonic Beast had not left the Black Prison at all, but was fishing and taking naps in a wooden house hidden by thick foliage.

...

An hour later.

In Hei Sha Immortal Emperor’s residence.

Hundreds of divine soul projections appeared, watching the images broadcasted by the Long Lie Celestial Emperor, eyes full of astonishment.

These are the divine soul projections of all Seventy-layered and above Immortal Emperors who escaped the Black Prison. Their true selves are distributed across the various worlds of the universe, having received Hei Sha Immortal Emperor’s message, they immediately initiated divine soul projections to attend this emergency meeting.

"The current situation is terrifying!"

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor said with a gloomy face, "According to recent statistics, more than three thousand Immortal Emperors from the Thirty-fourth to Thirty-ninth layers have disappeared, and it seems that the Black Prison Demonic Beast is no longer in the Black Prison, which implies one thing..."

He glanced around.

The top-ranked Immortal Emperor projections present all had unpleasant expressions, understanding the implication of Hei Sha Immortal Emperor’s words.

The Black Prison Demonic Beast can leave the Black Prison!

This is definitely terrible news.

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor said in a deep voice:

"Recently, Ye Feng and Xia Yao have been in Misty Sect and the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, respectively, so it couldn’t be them who took action. The only one capable of mysteriously abducting so many Immortal Emperors is likely the Black Prison Demonic Beast."

Although he had been controlled in divine soul life by Ye Feng, Ye Feng had not killed him. But the Black Prison Demonic Beast was different. As long as they were Black Prison convicts, it would devour them all without exception.

"If it’s indeed the Black Prison Demonic Beast, what should we do? Hide?"

The Long Lie Celestial Emperor was horrified.

"Don’t panic!" Hei Sha Immortal Emperor waved his hand, "Nearly two months have passed, and we’ve lost only a little over three thousand, and they’re all below Forty-layers, indicating the Black Prison Demonic Beast isn’t too ravenous. I suspect it’s wounded because the Black Prison was broken, and it’s eating to heal. Once it recovers, it should cease the hunting."

Upon hearing this, everyone almost fainted.

"Lord Hei Sha, we wouldn’t dare gamble on when the Black Prison Demonic Beast would stop the slaughter!"

"Indeed!"

"Living in constant fear isn’t good either, and there’s no telling when this dreadful spell will end."

The Immortal Emperors all spoke out.

"Everyone!" Long Lie Celestial Emperor spoke, "We cannot be certain yet if the Black Prison Demonic Beast has left the Black Prison. After all, that tree cannot be approached, and perhaps the Black Prison Demonic Beast is hiding in the thicket!"

"Oh?"

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

If that’s really the case, then it would be great.

"It’s a pity we can’t get inside that tree. Otherwise, we could try entering it for a look."

Long Lie Celestial Emperor said.

"Is your scout still at the Black Prison Peak?" Hei Sha Immortal Emperor looked at Long Lie Celestial Emperor.

"Yes." Long Lie Celestial Emperor nodded.

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor said:

"Have him attack that Ancient Tree with full force, creating a huge commotion to see if it can lure out the Black Prison Demonic Beast. If not, it likely means that the creature is not inside the tree, but has left."

"Alright." Long Lie Celestial Emperor understood.

In the scene.

The Peak Immortal Venerable began to cast a spell. Wearing the battle armor bestowed by Long Lie Celestial Emperor, he could exert power comparable to a Thirty-third-layer Immortal Emperor.

Boom, boom, boom!

The surroundings were bombarded wildly, but that Ancient Tree remained unmoved. However, with such commotion, even a dead pig would be startled awake.

Yet, after a quarter of an hour,

the Ancient Tree remained motionless.

Everyone’s faces grew increasingly somber.

"It’s over!"

"The Black Prison Demonic Beast must have left the Black Prison."

"What should we do now?"

The Immortal Emperors were shocked and pale.

"Don’t panic!" Hei Sha Immortal Emperor suddenly slammed the table and shouted loudly, "You are all top-ranked Immortal Emperors, what’s the point of panicking? Even if the Black Prison Demonic Beast has left the Black Prison, it only hunts the cannon fodder, the below Forty-layered Immortal Emperors. Does it affect us?"

Hearing this, everyone found it reasonable.

The weakest among them were above the Seventy-layered Immortal Emperors, considered the high echelon of the Black Prison. If the Black Prison Demonic Beast only hunted below Forty-layered Immortal Emperors, the impact was minimal.

For them, those people were just cannon fodder.

"Alright!"

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor waved his hand, "I have decided to reestablish the Black Prison Demon Sect, with me as the Sect Master, two other Ninety-layered Immortal Emperors as Deputy Sect Masters, and the remaining hundreds of Seventy-layered and above Immortal Emperors as Elders."

Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor explained:

"Originally, Little Blackie established the Black Prison Demon Sect and it was quite good. Although it was destroyed, we can take the opportunity to reorganize this sect. From now on, as the high rankers of the sect, we will command the army of a hundred thousand Black Prison. The rest must leave a Soul Lamp with you for easy tracking of deaths and disappearances."

"If disappearances continue but are all below Forty-layered, it’s not a big deal."

"Just some cannon fodder, insignificant."

"Report such occurrences normally."

"If any Immortal Emperor of Forty-layered and above mysteriously disappears, especially more than ten of them, it should raise our concern. If more than Fifty-layered go missing, we must convene a meeting to study the issue."

"Did you understand what I said?"

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor glanced around.

"Understood!"

Long Lie Celestial Emperor and others nodded one after another.

Reorganizing the Black Prison Demon Sect with a hundred thousand Black Prison convicts would foster closer connections. If anyone goes missing, it would quickly alert them.

This is much better than being scattered.

"Let’s get to work."

Long Lie Celestial Emperor nodded, leaving quickly, and the Divine Soul projections of other Immortal Emperors soon disappeared.

From his seat.

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor looked into the distance, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Heh, heh, very good!"

In truth, he was also somewhat pleased about the disappearance of thousands of cannon fodder Immortal Emperors. Now, it just so happens he could smoothly reorganize the Black Prison Demon Sect, commanding a hundred thousand Immortal Emperors.

"With the Black Prison Demon Sect, I can dispatch my subordinates to search for those special steles hidden in the universe, using them to create new laws."

"When I secretly break through to a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor and attain the Dao in secret, I’ll surely break the special imprint Ye Feng left on my Divine Soul."

"Ye Feng... ha ha!"

"When the time comes, I want you dead!"

Hei Sha Immortal Emperor said through gritted teeth.

...

Ye Feng was unaware that the Black Prison Demonic Beast had taken the blame for him. At this moment, he had slaughtered dozens more convicts, and the fifth Evil Thought Fruit had already formed.

However, it’s not yet matured.

"Time to go back."

Ye Feng tore through the void and disappeared.

At the peak of Misty Peak.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged here, but this was just an illusionary body. Although it could communicate freely with people, its strength was not as formidable as his true body.

Whoosh!

A transparent breath merged into the illusionary body without attracting anyone’s attention.

In the next moment, he opened his eyes.

"Heh heh, I’m back."

Ye Feng grinned, looking at the grassland on top of Misty Peak not far away, where thousands of tenth-generation disciples were standing, each panting heavily.

"All of you, come over!"

Ye Feng beckoned with a wave of his hand.
