"Then thank you Elder Xu!" Xiao Xie couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw him promise.

Xu Han pondered for a long time, then drafted a handwritten edict, stamped it with his own big seal, handed it to Xiao Xie, and said, "You give this to the elder Zhao Jiaming in the dungeon, and he will arrange everything for you." ”

Xiao Xie took Xu Han's edict, and escorted Zhan Chen to the entrance of the dungeon, Zhan Chen saw at a glance that this entrance was built very distinctively, the appearance was carved into the head of a giant snake, with a big mouth open, and a hideous face, as if to devour all the people who entered, making people have a chilling feeling, and in the mouth of the snake was a narrow and deep tunnel leading directly to the underground, a black hole.

As soon as he entered the tunnel, Zhan Chen smelled a smell of blood rushing in his face, and went down about a hundred meters, and faintly heard the wails coming from afar, and walked nearly fifty meters of stairs to the first floor of the dungeon. The cells here are very rudimentary, except that one iron cage is next to the other, extending into the depths of the dungeon, giving the illusion that there is no end in sight.

In the dungeon, every fifty meters or so, there is only a fluorite for lighting, which exudes a faint light, which makes the dungeon particularly dim and adds a bit of gloomy.

Even if the light is not good, but the eyesight of the immortal is already very strong, Zhan Chen still clearly saw the prisoners held in the cage, but in the thirty square meters of iron fence, there are more than a dozen people, their cultivation is only in the Yuan Realm, the face is yellow and thin, unkempt, leaning on the iron fence weakly, or simply falling to the ground, his eyes are dead, as if they have been sentenced to death.

When a cell chief who was on patrol saw them coming, he came up to him and asked, "How many of you are there?"

Xiao Xie showed him Xu Han's edict, and the cell leader looked at it carefully and said, "Elder Zhao is on the tenth layer, and the first nine layers of ours here are all imprisoned in the Peer Yuan Realm, and those in the Immortal Yuan Realm are only imprisoned from the tenth layer. ”

So they continued to go deep into the dungeon, heading towards the tenth layer, along the way, Zhan Chen carefully observed, and found that there were a lot of prisoners here, at least tens of thousands of people on each floor, and if you calculated carefully, the number of prisoners in the ninth layer was amazing!

Compared with the huge number of prisoners, there are very few guards arranged, and there are only a thousand people on the first floor, and the cultivation is not very high, it is about the same as himself, only around the beginning of the Immortal Yuan, and after walking such a long way, Zhan Chen didn't even see a few cultivators in the middle of the Immortal Yuan.

"Great, it seems that the backhand of the front nine layers of the dungeon is weak, and it is easy to break through!" Zhan Chen immediately made this judgment, but then he overturned his judgment again: "No, Xiao Xie told me confidently before, no one has been able to escape from this dungeon yet, even if he breaks through here, what if he breaks through here?" ”

Thinking about it, the tenth layer had already arrived, and Zhan Chen immediately felt that the scene on the tenth floor was very different from the previous nine floors, and the "treatment" of the prisoners here It has also been upgraded, everyone has an independent cell, with doors and windows, and the production materials have also been replaced with hard refining materials, this kind of material is difficult to destroy even the powerhouses of the Immortal Yuan Realm, and the disciples of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect who are responsible for monitoring on this layer have not decreased, and the average cultivation has also increased significantly, Zhan Chen can't even see through the cultivation of any of them, he can only judge by his breath, and the cultivation of these cell leaders has reached the high level of Xianyuan or above.

Walking between the narrow roads, he suddenly heard a miserable scream from around him: "Quickly return my storage ring to me!" So he followed the prestige, and saw two Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples smiling and taking off the storage ring on the finger of a new prisoner, of course the new prisoner didn't do it, and wanted to resist.

"Stinky boy, don't you want to live?" a cell boss caught fire and kicked the prisoner to the ground. And the other cell boss smiled and said: "Boy, you have to abide by our rules here to live a few more days, anyway, you can't get out, what's the use of keeping this wealth? It's better to use it to cheapen us, and let you live a few more days!"

"You, you people—" The new prisoner trembled with rage at what they said.

"What are we?" said a hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the two cell bosses. Fear flashed across the new prisoner's face, and he had to swallow back the dirty words he was about to utter.

This aroused Zhan Chen's vigilance, he subconsciously touched his chest, and his heart was a little fixed, in fact, he usually made preparations with both hands when he walked outside, and the storage ring he carried in his hand only contained some fragmentary fairy stones and some unimportant things, and he always put a large amount of wealth and important things in another storage ring, and hid it in the most secret place on his body.

The four of them went straight to the end of the tenth floor of the dungeon, and saw a room, which was where Zhao Jiaming rested, Xiao Xie showed Xu Han's edict before being allowed to enter the room, after entering the room, Xiao Na handed the edict to Zhao Jiaming to see, after Zhao Jiaming read it, he said to Xiao Xie: "Xiao Xie, this matter is personally entrusted by Elder Xu, I am especially concerned about the meeting, and the people stay, you go back, the dungeon is a sectarian forbidden place after all, and no one can stay for a long time." ”

"Elder Lao Zhao is bothered. Xiao Xie replied, then turned his head to Zhan Chen and said with a smile: "Zhan Chen, wait here, when I recover my cultivation, I will personally pick you up again!"

After the three of them left, Zhao Jiaming said to a cell boss next to him: "Chen An, I will hand it over to you after this battle morning." ”

"Yes!" Chen An replied.

Zhao Jiaming thought for a while and said: "Remember, don't be too embarrassed for him, don't kill people!"

"Yes!" Chen An hurriedly replied.

When Zhan Chen heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, I don't know if Zhao Jiaming would be wrong about Xiao Xie's intentions, according to the meaning of this Demon Sect elder, he may still be given special care in the future, and his life will not be lost for the time being.

"Chen An, take people down and arrange a clean cell. Zhao Jiaming said again.

"Yes!" Chen An led Zhan Chen out of the house to choose a cell for him, Chen An kept staring at Zhan Chen all the way, and suddenly asked, "Your name is Zhan Chen, right?"

Zhan Chen's heart moved, and he replied, "Yes." ”

"I'm curious, you are not our demon cultivator, but why can you be cared for by Elder Zhao? Do you know, usually the fate of ordinary cultivators in our Ten Thousand Demon Sect is very miserable, either used to refine corpses or used for alchemy, and none of them are good to die. ”

Zhan Chen's eyes rolled, diverted the topic, and asked rhetorically, "Brother, what do you call it?"

"Brother?" Chen An was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he asked: "You righteous monks call us demon cultivators brothers, and this is the first time I've seen someone like you." ”

Zhan Chen had his own reason, and said: "Actually, what is the difference between the righteous path monk and the demon cultivator? I think it's the same among the demon cultivators, in that case, why do we have to deliberately divide the righteous demons? There are only two kinds of people in the immortal cultivation world, one is a friend and the other is an enemy, since I can't be an enemy with you, why can't I try to be a friend or even a brother?"

Chen An listened to his theory, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and sighed: "I didn't expect Zhan Chen to have such knowledge, yes, there is no difference between good and evil in this world, only friends and enemies, sometimes we are more ruthless to each other!"

"Yes, how dare a person not bow his head under the low eaves? Now I will only try my best to be your friend, and I will never dare to be your enemy!" After Zhan Chen finished saying this, he also took off the storage ring on his finger, handed it to Chen An, and said: "This is my little savings, not much, only 10,000 medium-grade immortal stones, all of which are given to you, I just ask you to give it a convenience in the future, brother." ”

Chen An stared at the storage ring, his eyes lit up, and he immediately snatched it into his hand, and sighed: "Zhan Chen, you are a person who understands, don't worry, even if you don't give me these, I will take care of you, after all, it is what Elder Zhao ordered." ”

Zhan Chen smiled: "Then there will be labor." ”

As the saying goes, money is easy to do. Next, Chen An found a clean cell for Zhan Chen, gave him a set of clean prison uniforms, and temporarily opened the handcuffs and leg irons for him, and said: "Zhan Chen, I allow you to be free in the cell and not handcuffed, so that you can still meditate and practice, although the effect is not great, but it is better than nothing." ”

A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run?"

Chen An smiled slightly, and said, "Forget it, no one can escape from this eighteen-fold dungeon, not to mention that you only have the cultivation of the first level of the Immortal Yuan, and you can't even get out of this door!"

Zhan Chen nodded, he admitted it, he had to find another way to escape, and it would definitely not be possible to come by force.

"However, if you get out of this cell door, you will still have to wear handcuffs and leg irons!" Chen An added.

Zhan Chen asked again: "By the way, when I came, I saw someone outside to let out the wind, may I ask how long it will take for us to go out to breathe." ”

Chen An smiled slightly and said: "This treatment is not something that can be approved casually, everyone has a chance once a month, but you have to apply first, and only if we agree." ”

Zhan Chen's eyes lit up and he asked, "So, as long as you agree, it's fine." ”

Chen An nodded proudly and said, "It depends on your performance, as long as you can be obedient and don't block me, I will let you go out and enjoy yourself in the future." ”

"Understood!" Zhan Chen said with a meaningful smile, now if he wants to gain a foothold in this hell first, he must deal with ghosts like Chen An.

"Okay, Zhan Chen, you just stay in the cell, I'll go out first!" Chen An turned around and left with a word, and slammed the cell door shut.

The room finally quieted down, and Zhan Chen began to look around, the place he would be with for a long time.
