Chapter 94: Prison Turmoil! Jianghu outlaws? Nothing but a rabble!
Heaven Prison.
Shen Yan stood on the watchtower, unaware of what had happened in Bianjing. He could only see torches forming a long dragon in the distance.
The lively sounds of fireworks and firecrackers have vanished without a trace.
As shouts of battle rang out, Shen Yan became certain that Bianjing was truly about to undergo a major upheaval.
The long dragon of torches moved towards the imperial city, and Shen Yan exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly the first time I've ever seen such a grand rebellion."
However, he soon lost interest in appreciating it.
He saw that the Imperial Guards outside the prison were also beginning to line up, and Commander Luo Zhan glanced at Shen Yan on the watchtower.
They seemed to be observing his movements, afraid that Shen Yan would suddenly make a move.
However, Shen Yan clearly had no intention of making a move; he simply watched quietly as Shen Yan reorganized the troops and headed towards the imperial city.
The prison gates were tightly shut; Shen Yan had given a strict order that no one was allowed to open them.
Fortunately, a considerable amount of food had been stockpiled during the last national mourning period, enough to feed the prisoners and jailers for a while.
Whether or not this person's rebellion succeeds, it will not have much to do with the imperial prison.
However, it is foreseeable that the prison will be busy once this matter is settled.
At this time.
Shouts echoed from inside the prison. Shen Yan frowned and said, "Something's happened?!"
He quickly jumped down from the watchtower, intending to go inside and see what was going on.
Just then.
A prisoner dressed in prison clothes ran out.
Shen Yan recognized the man; he was a member of the Sky Eagle Gang, named Scarface, because of the long scar on his face.
He was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for murder and was an eighth-rank master.
He saw Shen Yan and said fiercely, "I don't want to kill anyone, open the door and let me out!"
Shen Yan was somewhat puzzled. This person had all his shackles removed, but the keys to the shackles were all kept by the Ministry of Justice.
How did this person manage to break free?
Seeing that Shen Yan did not make a move for a long time, Scarface's expression turned fierce.
"Since you're courting death, don't blame me."
Seeing several more people run out from behind him, Shen Yan knew something must have happened in the prison.
Without daring to delay any longer, he rushed towards the group, and in an instant, Scarface and the three who ran out after him all fell to the ground, lifeless.
Shen Yan entered the prison and found that many cell doors in cell number C were wide open, and several prison guards' corpses were left in the corridor.
Those who had escaped heard the commotion and ran out to check what was happening.
Upon discovering that it was Shen Yan, they swarmed forward without saying a word.
The passageway was narrow, barely wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side.
Although the dozen or so people in front of him were all rank-1 martial artists, they seemed utterly helpless in Shen Yan's hands.
He quickly dealt with most of them, and the rest were shocked to see Shen Yan's bravery.
"How can there be such a master in the imperial prison!"
"Run! This person is a mid-level rank expert who has already mastered true qi. He cannot be defeated by force."
"That scoundrel Yan has misled me; there is such a master in the imperial prison."
[”
The fact that Shen Yan was a mid-level third-rank martial artist was only known among the officials in Bianjing; these江湖草莽 (jianghu grass-dwellers) had no idea that such a person existed in the Heavenly Prison.
No one told them about Shen Yan's existence, and the prison guards were not required to stand guard at night.
Who would have thought that Shen Yan would appear here tonight?
Shen Yan rarely made a move in the prison. The jailers only knew that he was a martial artist, but they didn't know how strong he was. If you asked the jailers, they would only tell you that he was very strong.
Seeing that they wanted to escape, Shen Yan naturally wouldn't allow it and chased after them, but he wasn't so ruthless in his attacks.
They beat these people half to death, leaving them lying on the ground unable to move.
Their shackles were all removed, which showed that the incident with the scarred face earlier was no coincidence.
It was deliberately arranged by someone; many martial arts figures were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison during this period.
There are at least forty or fifty rank-3 martial artists; if they were all released, they would be a considerable force.
Shen Yan killed nearly a dozen people and continued to walk in, encountering several martial arts figures along the way.
Time was of the essence, and without wasting words, he directly killed the person blocking his way.
Seeing that no matter whether they were seventh, eighth, or ninth graders, they couldn't withstand a single move from Shen Yan, they could easily understand his strength.
They wanted to run, but the difference in strength was so great, how could they possibly escape?
Shen Yan didn't know how these people had escaped; there must have been a traitor in the prison.
However, we didn't see any more prison guards' corpses along the way, so it seems they must have gone into hiding.
These martial arts figures were likely pre-arranged to be imprisoned.
When he arrived at Cell A, he saw that all the jailers were hiding in an empty cell.
They were overjoyed when they saw Shen Yan.
Chen Xiaoshuan ran over. Tonight, he was the only prison guard in the prison; Ma Danian and Lü Youcai had gone to reunite with their families.
"Lord Shen, we've finally been waiting for you."
"What happened in cell C? Why did those prisoners escape?"
Chen Xiaoshuan had obviously already looked into it, and after organizing his thoughts, he began to answer.
"It was Gao Quanyou, the magistrate, who opened the cell door, and it was He Laifu who unlocked the shackles on the prisoners."
.
Shen Yan frowned and asked, "Where are they?!"
Shen Yan was not familiar with these two people, and he did not have much interaction with them on a regular basis.
"The officials and the prisoners left together; we don't know where they went?"
"Come with me. I've killed almost all the escaped prisoners."
As he spoke, Shen Yan turned and left Prison No. 1. He already had a general idea of where Gao Quanyou and He Laifu were.
Upon arriving outside the prison, they indeed saw the two of them leading several prisoners, intending to open the prison gates and escape.
Shen Yan leaped into the air and arrived in front of them in just a few steps.
When Gao Quanyou and He Laifu saw Shen Yan arrive, they looked terrified and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"My lord, spare us! Have our lives! They coerced us!"
"Yes! Sir, this has nothing to do with us."
The prisoners behind them watched Shen Yan warily.
That move just now made them realize that Shen Yan must be a mid-level third-grade martial artist, but now that things have come to this, it is impossible for them to give up easily.
Their group of ten included four peak seventh-rank martial artists; if they joined forces, they might not be a match for Shen Yan.
The group exchanged glances and then launched their attack.
Little did they know that Shen Yan had already noticed their unusual behavior and was on guard at all times.
"puff!"
"puff!"
'
'
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, ten more people appeared on the ground.
They were too naive. Not to mention that the lower three ranks and the middle three ranks are like an insurmountable chasm, Shen Yan is far beyond the reach of ordinary middle-rank people.
How could they possibly be a match for them? In just a few punches, they were all down, lying on the ground, their fates unknown.
Gao Quanyou and He Laifu, who had still held a sliver of hope, turned ashen-faced and utterly despondent upon witnessing this scene.
The two were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat, and their pants were soaked with urine, leaving two puddles on the ground.
Shen Yan said in a deep voice, "Put them in the Heavenly Prison. Those who are not dead should also be locked up. After things have calmed down, they can be handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Justice for interrogation."
Shen Yan hadn't shown his skills in front of the prison guards for a long time, and this time he stunned them.
He was stunned for a long time until he heard Shen Yan's instructions.
The prisoner and two jailers were taken away.
"What is Lord Shen's cultivation level? Could he be a third-grade martial artist?"
"I doubt even a grandmaster could say for sure. How could an ordinary person possibly fly several feet off the ground? What's the difference between that and a god?"
"Lord Shen is like the celestial star Wuqu descended to earth. The Heavenly Prison is truly blessed to have him."
"————"
Shen Yan listened to the jailer's words without explaining. Most of these people didn't practice martial arts, so it would be pointless to explain. He just let them spread rumors.
The situation in the prison has calmed down. These martial artists were originally supposed to join forces with the Imperial Guards outside the prison and head to the Imperial City together.
Unfortunately, Luo Zhan already knew Shen Yan's strength and knew that the people inside couldn't get out, so he didn't waste any time and left directly.
Shen Yan stood on the watchtower again, looking towards the direction of the imperial city.
