I, Tianlaozhen Wangu, support the Empress from behind!

Chapter 111: Wang Yucheng's Shock

"Sir, when do we set off?"

The two girls came to their senses, and Xiao He couldn't wait to ask.

"Tomorrow morning," Chu He pondered for a moment, then looked at the two women. "As the saying goes, 'food and fodder must be sent before the army moves.' Although this is just a small bandit suppression operation, we still need to prepare everything necessary."

The two women nodded.

"Then sir, will you stay here tonight?" Xiao He's beautiful eyelashes flickered.

"Uh…"

Chu He shook his head. "I have something to do tonight. I'll wait for you outside the city tomorrow morning."

He has to go back tonight to deal with the problem of the tiger demon, so that he won't go out and raid its lair.

But someone overturned his own nest.

As for destroying the former crown prince's conspiracy?

This matter was not within his consideration. It was a pity that the tiger demon was on the second floor of the inner prison. Otherwise, he would use the "Transfer Shape" technique to disguise himself as someone from the Third Prince's party, and then kill it, letting them fight each other.

As for now?

Go find his immediate superior.

An hour later, Chu He returned to the inner prison. He first went to Li Sangui to consult some questions.

"Sir..." When Li Sangui saw that it was Chu Hexun who came, he bowed and greeted with a look of surprise on his face.

Ever since Chu He defeated the young genius of Zhenwu Sect, he became famous and everyone admired him very much.

This is secondary. The more important point is that the next day, their cultivation resources increased several times.

Right now, who wouldn’t be grateful to him?

Li Sangui was extremely proud that Chu He had noticed him, and the other jailers were extremely envious.

But recently, Lord Chu rarely came to see him.

"Sangui, is there anything happening on the latest floor?"

"Hmm..." After hearing this, Li Sangui lowered his head and thought. Since Chu He asked this question, he was definitely not asking about trivial matters.

"Sir, there really are some!" Li Sangui suddenly remembered the recent prisoners' backgrounds and looked up to reply, "It's like this. Five days ago, the Monster Refining Division received a report that someone was gathering to rebel. They then went out and wiped out a bandit den, capturing quite a few people. They were just handed over yesterday."

At this point, Li Sangui's expression became cautious. He glanced around and said in a low voice, "Sir, I heard that they are all members of the White Lotus Sect. They want to cause trouble in the city and collude with important figures in the court..."

White Lotus Sect?

Chu He frowned slightly.

There are intricate ties between the White Lotus Sect and the former crown prince. Then, he thought of the tiger demon on the second floor of the inner prison and the fox demon soul sleeping between its eyebrows.

The power of a third-grade sect's soul is far inferior even to that of a physical body.

Chu He compared its strength with that of the former prince's priest whom he had killed before, and came to a shocking conclusion.

This demon, from its appearance to breaking through the inner prison layer, finally broke through the formation of the demon prison.

It only takes two breaths!

"But why did the White Lotus Sect come in?"

Chu He couldn't understand this. The fox demon could be said to have sneaked in to save his back.

But the elder of the White Lotus Sect last time probably has bones that can rattle like drums now.

"Besides the prisoners imprisoned this time, have there been any other prisoners imprisoned in the White Lotus Sect before?" Chu He thought for a moment, looked at Li Sangui, and asked.

He wanted to compare it with his own guess.

At the same time, he called out the "Purgatory Scripture" in his mind and flipped through the information of the prisoners page by page.

After hearing Chu He's question, Li Sangui thought about it for a long time before replying, "Sir, as far as I know, we haven't detained any White Lotus Sect demons on the first floor for several months..."

"A few months?"

Chu He looked at the date it came into effect. It was two months ago, which happened to be the period when there were many prisoners.

But this person didn't hide his cultivation?!

Chu He believed that under the attack of the "Purgatory Heavenly Scripture", it would be impossible for these prisoners to hide their cultivation.

That leaves only one possibility: this person must be the son of a leader of the White Lotus Sect.

Otherwise, the White Lotus Sect would never have risked cooperating with the former crown prince and sending people into the inner prison.

And what bargaining chips does the former crown prince have?

The sacred treasure of White Lotus, the three-life flower of White Lotus!

After thinking about it, Chu He felt that he had basically figured out the whole story. He chatted with Li Sangui about the past, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and encouraged him to practice well and take advantage of the resources during this period to break through to the eighth level as soon as possible.

Then he turned and walked towards the office of Prison Warden Wang.

Li Sangui watched Chu He's receding figure, his eyes filled with emotion. Lord Chu was such a high-ranking person, yet he treated him so kindly?!

"I must protect those prisoners for you," Li Sangui clenched his fists and said to himself.

He found that Chu He was particularly concerned about the prisoners, unlike other prison guards who would torture them at will.

Just like Du Yifeng, who would pull out a prisoner every few days to "train" him.

Walking along the Chu River, I was thinking.

Next, is the main event.

Those fifth and sixth rank White Lotus Sect members will only need a few moves to take care of that tiger demon, so let them go for now...

dong dong——

After knocking on the door a few times, Chu He pushed it open and walked in. Warden Wang was sitting at his desk reviewing official documents.

"Is Prison Envoy Chu here?! Sit down first and wait for me for a moment." Prison Minister Wang looked up with a slight change on his face. Chu He rarely came to look for him at night.

Is there something important?

However, he would soon finish reviewing the documents in his hand, so he wouldn't waste any more time.

"Yes, sir." Chu He nodded slightly, bowed, and found a seat to sit down.

Anyway, he came many times, but there was no sign of anything happening.

After a while.

Wang Yucheng put down his pen, looked at Chu He, and asked with a smile: "Chu Yushi, it's rare that you come to look for me so late..."

"Tell me, what's the important matter?"

Warden Wang attached great importance to important and major matters.

"Haha... I'll scare you to death later!" Chu He laughed in his heart. He knew Wang Yucheng's character very well. He didn't cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of trouble. However, he tried not to cause trouble and was well versed in the art of hiding.

Then his face straightened and he said solemnly, "Sir, when I was patrolling the second floor of the inner prison, I discovered something very scary!"

“Hmm???” Wang Yucheng suddenly felt unwell. What he feared came true.

"Tell me about it." Although the second floor was not under his jurisdiction and was even under the management of his mortal enemy, as the warden of the inner prison, if something happened on the second floor, it might implicate them.

That was the case with the corpse demon that escaped from prison before.

Therefore, under Chu He's exaggeration, his expression also became serious.

"Great fear..." Chu He pretended to be terrified, his hands trembling slightly, "Sir, that feeling is the same as the feeling that Lord Sword Demon gave me."

boom--

"What?!" Wang Yucheng stood up suddenly, then frowned and asked in confusion, "No, no, you are only a seventh-rank cultivator, how can you sense it?"

"Uh——" A black line appeared on Chu He's forehead.

He really wanted to complain, Sir, aren't you focusing on the wrong thing?

But who made him unable to get rid of the fox demon soul?

"Sir, I was born with extraordinary spiritual perception!" There was no other way, Chu He could only use the routine.

After all, he has cultivated his spiritual consciousness, so wouldn't it be easy for him to pretend to have spiritual perception?

"Also, sir, please take this matter seriously. I suspect that the tiger demon may have hidden his cultivation."

Chu He looked at Wang Yucheng and said solemnly, word by word, "It's very likely that a third-grade demon came in hiding his cultivation!"

Swah——

At this point, Wang Yucheng could no longer sit still. He knew Chu He very well. He was definitely not the kind of person who would make empty promises. Since he said he had it, there was basically no way he could escape.

The thought of a third-grade demon hiding above my head.

Wang Yucheng couldn't help but tremble slightly, wishing he could slap himself in the face. Look, why did I ask you to pretend?

He immediately collected his thoughts and said, "Boy, come with me right now, let's go see the prison chief!"

"We can't handle this matter."

Chu He nodded and followed Wang Yucheng out.
