Chapter 3330: Leaving the Thousand Chains Prison

“No!” Elder Xie who was sitting with his legs crossed and cultivating next to Duan Ling Tian widened his eyes. His eyes brimmed with horror when he felt the Formation break. “How’s this possible? How did they break the Formation?”

“H-he escaped as well!” Elder Xie’s face turned ashen when he saw Pei Yuan Ji, the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor. He was familiar with Pei Yuan Ji since the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless had to intervene to catch Pei Yuan Ji, after all. Even the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace was no match for Pei Yuan Ji. If the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless did not intervene, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace would have been defeated. How could he not be horrified now that he saw Pei Yuan Ji, along with the other five titled Celestial Emperors, was free?

Elder Xie did not even bother to put up resistance at this moment. In his mind, he thought death was imminent.

However, to Elder Xie’s surprise, Pei Yuan Ji and the others did not seem like they intended to kill him at all. Pei Yuan Ji only smiled at Duan Ling Tian, who was standing next to him, and said, “Let’s go.”

‘What’s going on?’ Elder Xie’s expression changed drastically as he turned to look at the person next to him, the student of Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, and the junior of their Head Warden. He would have lived for so long in vain if he still could not figure out what was going on at this moment. It was clear that the purple-clad young man was the one who released the titled Celestial Emperors.

Upon seeing the complex expression on Elder Xie’s face, Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile on his face, “Elder Xie, it’s best for you to stay here. It’s too dangerous outside.”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian and Pei Yuan Ji left the third floor of the Thousand Chains Prison.

The other five titled Celestial Emperors, despite their arrogant and prideful nature, followed after the Pei Yuan Ji obediently.

Before leaving, the fat old man, Ma Chi, the Thunder Hurricane Celestial Emperor, patted Elder Xie’s shoulder and said with a grin, “Little Xie, you should thank that boy, Duan Ling Tian. If he didn’t ask us to spare your life, you would’ve died.”

Elder Xie was left dumbfounded as he watched the titled Celestial Emperors leave. He smiled bitterly. “I didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to have such a scheme…”

Nevertheless, Elder Xie was not angry after being tricked by Duan Ling Tian. Instead, he felt rather grateful. He knew the Thunder Hurricane Celestial Emperor did not lie and that he was only alive because of Duan Ling Tian. After all, there was no need for Duan Ling Tian to spare his life. Even if Duan Ling Tian used and deceived him, nothing was more important to him than preserving his life.

“It seems like chaos is about to descend on the Thousand Chains Prison. happen in the Thousand Chains Prison… I should stay here for a while since it’s safer here.” Elder Xie recalled Ma Chi’s reminder and decided to stay put even though he felt restless.

…

Meanwhile, as soon as they left the third floor, Duan Ling Tian and Pei Yuan Ji rushed to Lian Qiu and Du Xuan’s cells.

The two prodigious disciples who were guarding the second floor were puzzled when they saw Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian?”

“Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be guarding the third floor?”

“Who is he?” Soon enough, they noticed Pei Yuan Ji who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian.

This was not the first time these two prodigious disciples were assigned to the Thousand Chains Prison. Although they had guarded the third floor before, they had never seen Pei Yuan Ji who remained hidden in the depths of his cell. Nevertheless, their expressions changed drastically when they saw the other five titled Celestial Emperors coming down the stairs. Their faces paled, and their legs weakened immediately as realization dawned on them.

“H-how did they break free?”

“Did they break the Formation on the third floor?”

“T-this means the white-clad young man is the mysterious Pei Yuan Ji, the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor, right?”

“All six titled Celestial Emperors have broken free of their cells!”

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian moved with a flash and caught the shocked prodigious disciples off guard. Before they could react, he quickly knocked them out and moved them to a corner.

Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian and Pei Yuan Ji were standing in front of Lian Qiu’s cell.

Lian Qiu had opened his eyes as soon as he heard the heavy footsteps approaching his cell. It did not take long before he saw seven people standing in front of him. One of the two people standing in the lead was none other than the young man his daughter was in love with.

“Brother Pei.” Duan Ling Tian nodded at Pei Yuan Ji.

Pei Yuan Ji did not hesitate and began to use the technique that Duan Ling Tian taught him and easily broke the Formation along with the cell.

“Thank you, my lord.” Lian Qiu could tell Pei Yuan Ji was a titled Celestial Emperor. He rose to his feet and cupped his fists together at Pei Yuan Ji to express his gratitude.

“A man who failed to protect his woman isn’t a good man,” Pei Yuan Ji said harshly before he broke the Formation and cell that held Du Xuan.

Lian Qiu was confused by Pei Yuan Ji’s hostility.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian said through Voice Transmission, “Senior Lian Qiu, Brother Pei and Senior Du Fei, who was Senior Du Xuan’s aunt, were lovers. She can be considered as Senior Du Xuan’s uncle. Brother Pei was imprisoned here because he tried to rescue Senior Du Xuan.”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Lian Qiu’s eyes widened. “He’s Pei Yuan Ji, the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor, whom the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven personally captured?”

200 years ago, Lian Qiu had learned that a prominent figure was imprisoned in the Thousand Chains Prison through the conversations between the wardens. The prominent figure was none other than Pei Yuan Ji, the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor.

“Lord Pei Yuan Ji was imprisoned because he tried to save Xuan’er? He’s Xuan’er’s uncle?”

“What are you waiting for? Why aren’t you rescuing your woman?”

Lian Qiu was pulled back to his senses when Pei Yuan Ji’s voice rang in the air. He hurriedly entered the cell that was destroyed by Pei Yuan Ji and carried the bloodstained white Phantom Fox out. Hints of distress could be seen in his eyes when he looked at the Phantom Fox.

“If you let her suffer again, I’ll never forgive you.” Pei Yuan Ji was filled with remorse because of Du Fei’s incident, to begin with. Now that he saw Du Fei’s niece in such a state because of Lian Qiu, his expression was incredibly dark.

“Rest assured, senior,” Lian Qiu replied as he looked at the Phantom Fox in his arm, “I’ll use my life to protect Xuan’er. No one will ever lay a finger on her again.”

Pei Yuan Ji did not respond to Lian Qiu. Instead, he addressed the prisoners on the second floor in a low voice, “Everyone, listen up. I’ll free you from this prison. After leaving the Thousand Chains Prison, you’re free to do whatever you want. However, before we leave, stay behind us! I’ll kill those who dare to act recklessly!”

Following that, Pei Yuan Ji stomped on the ground, and a mustard energy surged out from the ground before it split into thousands of energy swords, destroying all the prison cells on the second floor.

“Thank you, my lord,” the prisoners on the second floor said in unison after being released.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian, Pei Yuan Ji, and the others made their way to the first floor.

Since each floor had a Noise Canceling Formation, those on the first floor were unaware of the commotions on the third floor and the second floor.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian came face to face with Lei Jun on the first floor of the Thousand Chains Prison.

“Duan Ling Tian?” Lei Jun frowned when he saw Duan Ling Tian on the first floor.

On the contrary, the elder next to Lei Jun gasped, and a horrified expression appeared on his face immediately. “Y-you! W-why are you here?”

Since he was an elder of the Thousand Chains Prison like Elder Xie, he naturally recognized Pei Yuan Ji, unlike the prodigious on the second floor.

“Elder, who is he?” Lei Jun asked curiously.

“The Nirvanic Celestial Emperor, Pei Yuan Ji,” the old man said bitterly.

“What?!”

“The N-nirvanic Celestial Emperor?!” Needless to say, Lei Jun was shocked by the elder’s reply. This was not the first time he had heard of Pei Yuan Ji, the Nirvanic Celestial Emperor. He had heard about Pei Yuan Ji from his mother, Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor. Therefore, he was aware that even You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, was no match for Pei Yuan Ji.
