Chapter XXIII: The Bastille
The Bastille is one of the most heavily guarded and highest-ranking prisons in Moyue. The people who are locked up here are the most serious criminals in Moyue who have not been executed for various reasons. The vast majority of them are extraordinary.
The Bastille is an underground prison, covering an area of nearly 30 square kilometers and 500 meters deep! It is poured with iron on all sides, and it is solidified with magic, so it is slippery and extremely strong! What is even more troublesome is that the prison guard area is also arranged with a large forbidden demon barrier, so the transportation of supplies usually depends on huge flying beasts. There was also a force of 10,000 men stationed in the surrounding outposts, many of whom were masters. Warden Sam Norton, Marquis Norton, and Garrison Commander Major General Byron Hedley are both top players! During this period, only Major General Byron Hedley was here. But even so, Major General Hedley, who is a celestial warrior, is enough to intimidate Aegean 99% of the young, not to mention that there are other guards in the prison and an entire legion.
However, just because there are few people who dare to covet this place does not mean that there are none! Meng Yuchen, dressed in a black robe, stood on a hill a few miles outside the Bastille and looked down on the deep pit where the prison was located. After looking at it for a long time, I pursed my lips and couldn't see anything. The 500-meter-deep pit, even if there is a 100-meter-high building inside, is still 400 meters away, and you can't see anything outside.
Meng Yuchen turned around and left slowly, preparing to return to the town where he had stayed before. Although the population of the Moyue Empire is nearly one billion, it still seems vast and sparsely populated against the backdrop of its vast territory. There is only one town more than 100 kilometers away from the Bastille, and the name of this town is Bastille, which basically serves the guards and garrisons of the Bastille.
It has been three days since Meng Yuchen left Yushan to come here. With the help of Zhuo Lingzhao, a cheap master, Meng Yuchen successfully absorbed the blood magic power of the four super-level underworld beasts, and rushed to the realm of the bloodline demon master in one fell swoop. The mana is then converted into Dou Qi, since the elemental value of mana is greater than that of Dou Qi. Although Meng Yuchen was only a newly promoted Demon Master, after transforming into Dou Qi, he directly reached the level of the Heavenly Fighter close to the middle level.
Originally, when Meng Yuchen learned that the teacher could turn his magic power into fighting energy, he thought that the teacher had reached an essential understanding of the blood element, so he had some wonderful means. Behind the hut where the teacher lived, there was a plant with a fruit as red as blood and like a pearl tomato. His own teacher said that the fruit was called Blood Bodhi, and he originally cultivated the water system Dou Qi, but after eating that fruit, he was transformed into the Blood System Fighting Qi. Previously, he and his friends were researching whether Blood Bodhi would only transform elemental attributes or transform with the species. It was then concluded that Blood Bodhi could transform any form of elemental power into bloodline fighting energy, including bloodline magic. So, the teacher put a big beep in front of the disciples.
Of course, although Zhuo Lingzhao pretended to be a big beep, he was still extremely tall in Meng Yuchen's mind. Especially in front of himself and a group of friends, he fought fiercely with the Blood River Commander for a day and a night, and even gained an advantage for a time. In the end, it forced Nevinlink to release the domain duel, and the duel came to an end.
After eating the Blood Bodhi and advancing to the middle of the Heaven Fighter in terms of Dou Qi strength, Zhuo Lingzhao threw a scroll to Meng Yuchen and drove Meng Yuchen out of the Jade Mountain. On the scroll is Zhuo Lingzhao's improved bloodline technique Blood Sea Technique based on the Fighting Qi Heart Recipe and Hate Water Technique passed down from his original master, and the peerless sword technique that Meng Yuchen thought about the most did not learn.
Out of Yushan, Meng Yuchen didn't know where to go for a while. After thinking about it, hatred gradually came to my head. For Brian, Meng Yuchen actually didn't have any hatred, and the two didn't have much friendship in the first place. Before, Brian saved him on the spot, and then tried to kill him, but he didn't do it yet. Besides, Brian was under Ye Chenhan at this time, and Meng Yuchen was very jealous of this young emperor of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions.
He didn't have any hatred for Brian, but for the Moyue Temple, Meng Yuchen was still full of hatred. The previous massacre in the southern part of Moyue had not completely erased his hatred. But there was a problem, and that was that he didn't know who his hatred should be directed at right now. He was previously convicted by the Inquisition of Inquisition. But the director at that time was Phillips, and this thing had been assassinated not long ago, so who should he vent his hatred to? Moyue Temple, Moyue Official, the entire Moyue Empire? Meng Yuchen didn't know what to do for a while, but one thing was certain, he wanted to find something awkward for Moyue.
Directly provoked Mo Yue head-on, Meng Yuchen didn't dare! Seeing the heritage of Ye Chenhan and his Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, Meng Yuchen was frightened. The Moyue Empire is as famous as Jiangnan in the Western Regions, and it is also a great empire at the pinnacle of the Aegean. Meng Yuchen believes that there is a gap, but when it comes to how big the gap is, Meng Yuchen feels that it is unlikely. Perhaps the Western Regions Jiangnan is the most powerful now, and the destruction of Dongying in the Half Moon is enough to explain a lot of problems! But Moyue will not be far behind.
After thinking about it, Meng Yuchen decided on the goal, the Bastille!
The Bastille is the most special prison in Moyue, and there are many powerful people who have been imprisoned for various reasons, including many peerless powerhouses of the quasi-saint rank. Meng Yuchen is ready to release them all, there is no need for them all to be against the Moyue Empire, but as long as there are a few, it is enough for the Moyue Empire's head to hurt, right?
Meng Yuchen came out of the mountain from the side of the jade SX, went down the mountain to the territory of the Mountain City Kingdom, and then crossed the strait to the Kaoqi Kingdom to reach the Western Continent, and finally infiltrated the territory of the Moyue Empire. With Meng Yuchen's realm at this time, any monitoring and patrolling was almost useless to him, and he easily came to the Bastille in the northeast of the hinterland of the Moyue Empire. However, when I arrived, I found that this goal did not seem to be easy to start.
Although it is currently reported that the Warden Marquis Norton has gone to Ponsvest on business, the possibility of returning within half a month is very small. There was no teleportation array on the Bastille side, and even if there was an emergency, he would not be able to rush back or other rescuers. But just Major General Hedley and the existing guards, Meng Yuchen was no longer sure that he could deal with it!
After wandering around the town for two days, Meng Yuchen pondered whether he should change his target, or simply wash a few more altars in blood?
Meng Yuchen, who was still hesitating, walked on the road, and suddenly felt that the hairs on his body stood up slightly, and a sense of crisis arose out of thin air. There's a pair of eyes staring at me somewhere!
Meng Yuchen didn't have the same strong and keen spiritual power as Night Frost, but his spiritual cultivation was not weak when he once cultivated magic to reach the level of a magician. At this time, he had already reached the Heaven Fighter, and even though his seventh sense was not as sharp as that of Night Frost, he could already sense some danger and potential peeping.
At this time, Meng Yuchen's opponents can be described as a lot! The official pursuit of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, the peep of Brian, and the wanted of the Moyue Empire. There may be other opponents that he didn't even think of, so he had to be careful, and immediately stopped and looked around cautiously.
Moyue is the northernmost country in the Aegean, and the town of Bastille, where Meng Yuchen is located at this time, is also north of Moyue, not far from the northernmost 100,000 mountains! Meng Yuchen deliberately took a remote path, surrounded by dense coniferous forests, and his vision was very limited.
Meng Yuchen looked around, but he couldn't help frowning slightly when he didn't see anyone, and said loudly: "Friend from where you are, why don't you show up since you're here?"
As soon as the words fell, a silver light shot out from the taiga, it was a crescent moon blade, with a piercing chill attached to it, which made Meng Yuchen feel a chill on his body before he got close. Meng Yuchen frowned, the black robe on his body shook, and there was already a wide blood-colored moon blade in his hand, which slammed into the blade. It was just an instant contact, and a cold aura had rushed over, making his hand holding the knife stiff for a while!
The blade swirled in the air, and then turned back to the direction it came from, and a masked silver-haired figure leaped out of the taiga, and as soon as he raised his hand, the moonblade blade hung on the back of his left hand, and at the same time, with a flick of his right hand, another moonblade blade that was originally hovering on the back of his right hand spun in a burst.
Meng Yuchen had already guessed the identity of the other party, and the only thing he had some doubts about was the strength of the other party! Swinging the blade away with the moon blade again, and at the same time, he raised his left hand, and with a palm in the air, a huge blood-colored palm print broke out of the air. This is one of the only two fighting qi methods recorded in the 'Blood Sea Recipe' that Zhuo Lingzhao gave him, the Blood Void Yuan Hand, the power is quite amazing!
The silver-haired masked man in the air beckoned, and the moon blade blade that was shocked flew back again, and at the same time, the blade in his left hand flashed, and a cold blade fighting qi slashed out of the air. It tore the bloody handprint with a single blow.
After completing this blow, the silver-haired man did not continue to attack, he landed on a somersault in the air, stood five or six feet in front of Meng Yuchen, and took off the mask on his face, as Meng Yuchen expected, it was Filch. At this time, he was wearing a black tight-fitting samurai uniform, and he was carrying a long bag behind his back, and the two moonblade blades had been taken off by him, and he was inserting them back into the knife bag at his waist while saying, "The progress is amazing, Heavenly Fighter?"
Meng Yuchen frowned slightly, a little unsure of Filch's intentions, and did not relax his vigilance. After a brief fight just now, Meng Yuchen still concluded that the other party's fighting spirit cultivation was similar to his own, and there was a strange chill. Different from the ordinary ice fighting qi, although it is very similar, but the sense of cold is even stronger! Moreover, Meng Yuchen clearly remembered that Filch should be of the wind system! Hearing Filch's words, Meng Yuchen responded: "Each other, your progress is also incredible!"
"It's a matter of having their own adventures!" Filch shrugged, seeing that Meng Yuchen was still on guard, he was not surprised, and said casually: "I haven't done it with Brian anymore, and I'm not here to deal with you." You're looking for trouble with Moyue, I also want to compete with the temple, our goals are basically the same, we can cooperate!"
"How can I trust you?" Meng Yuchen asked with a slight frown.
"You don't have to believe me, we're just working together for the same purpose!" Filch looked completely unconcerned: "You must also think that the Bastille is not easy to start, right? No matter who of the two of us faces Major General Hudley, the odds of success are much higher!"
"It seems that you know a lot?" Meng Yuchen was somewhat surprised that Filch knew so much.
As if thinking of something, Filch also frowned slightly, and there was a big gap between him and the previous confusion. After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile: "It was His Majesty Ye Chenhan who told me, you have less contact with him, it's hard to imagine how powerful this guy is! It can be said that he knows everything! I'm a little scared when I mention this person now!"
"Night, Morning...... Your Majesty?" Meng Yuchen originally wanted to call Ye Chenhan by his name, but for some reason, he still added the word "Your Majesty". For this unpredictable emperor of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, Meng Yuchen was also very jealous.
Filch took out a scroll and threw it at Meng Yuchen. Meng Yuchen didn't take it, but let it fall to the ground, and then flicked it with the moon blade to confirm that there was no problem before picking it up. After shaking it open, the contents were divided into three parts, the first part was an address, which was the small hotel he had lived in before. The second part, on the other hand, is the details of the Bastille, which are outrageously detailed, and the last part is the information of a person.
Seeing the character information, Meng Yuchen frowned slightly, a little puzzled, but when he saw the last sudden light up, he raised his eyes to look at Filch and asked, "This is Ye Chenhan...... Your Majesty gave it to you, have you seen it all?"
"I've read it, he asked me to give it to you after reading it, saying that you will understand it when you read it!" Filch's face revealed a hint of curiosity, and he also wondered why Ye Chenhan would record a person's information on the scroll.
"His Majesty Ye Chenhan's actions are really unpredictable!" Meng Yuchen smiled strangely, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Filch: "May we cooperate happily." ”
Filch also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands together: "Happy cooperation!"
