Many of the powerhouses in the cell were stunned and confused.
What the h.e.l.l?
How could this guy play such a dirty trick?
Heck! Hasn’t he got any shame?
The young cultivator was also stunned. He almost vomited blood when he heard the footsteps at the end of the corridor. All of the jail guards in this prison have spent hundreds of years in the Good and Evil Village. Since they earned this job after acc.u.mulating thousands of Good points, all of them are extraordinary in might. Furthermore, since the warden has the authority to distribute Evil points, he can transfer prisoners to higher levels of the Buddha Prison. If someone is found guilty of attempting to break out of jail, he could be thrown into Level 2 or even Level 3 of the Buddha Prison. By then, he would be genuinely doomed. He would never be able to leave this place! The young cultivator immediately panicked once he realized that.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
At about that time, several figures arrived at the end of the corridor. They were the jailers of Buddha Prison Level 1, and all of them were powerful Half-Celestials.
“Who’s the one who wanted to break out of jail?” asked several jailers in a grave tone.
Xu Que promptly reported, “It’s not that he ‘wanted to break out’, it’s that he’s ‘already breaking out’! Look, that little fool opposite me knocked the door lock off with a single hit of his hammer. How terrifying!”
“What?”
The jailers immediately turned to the cell opposite Xu Que, and their expressions changed quickly.
“How is that possible?”
“How could the lock shatter like that?”
“Quick! Inform the warden that someone’s trying to escape!”
They immediately yelled as they stared warily at the young cultivator. The jailers shouted, “How dare you try to break out of the Buddha Prison! You’d better not try anything funny, I’m warning you. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being violent.”
“I…no, it’s not me. I’m not trying to escape!” The young cultivator panicked and frantically tried to explain. However, the odds were stacked against him so high that he did not even know where he should start.
“Sc.u.m, even the door lock has been destroyed. How is this not jailbreaking? Don’t move, stand there and don’t move, or we’ll attack!” The jailers yelled, and at the same time, activated the spells. They would not hesitate to execute him if the young cultivator dared to move.
“No, you… Listen to me, the door lock…” The young cultivator waved his hand and wanted to continue explaining.
But before he had finished, Xu Que, from the cell on the other side, interrupted, “He broke the lock with a hammer punch. You must be careful, prison guards. This man is mean and shameless. As soon as I came in, he threw a bar of soap at me and told me to pick it up, and that he would break me out of prison.”
Xu Que continued, “But how could an honest and innocent person like me break out of prison? I refused, of course! So he got angry and burst the door lock with one blow, which made me jump and sent my heart racing.”
The criminals present all twitched at Xu Que’s speech, their expressions blank and uncomprehending. They had seen brazen people, but it was the first time they had seen someone as shameless as Xu Que!
“You…” The young cultivator trembled with rage as he regained his senses. He pointed at Xu Que and almost went mad with anger, desperately wanting to rush out and fight him.
“Don’t move!” Several jailers immediately warned, and their faces became colder and more alert. They glared at the young cultivator and were ready to take him down at any moment.
“Wow, so scary. Look, Mr. Jailer. He just looked like he wanted to eat me. I suspect he’s gay. When he loses it later, maybe he’ll say that I’m the one who broke the lock!” Xu Que shouted exaggeratedly.
The young cultivator, furious to the point that his chest hurt, pointed at Xu Que and yelled exasperatedly, “You did break the lock!”
Xu Que shrugged and looked resignedly at the jailers, “Look, I knew he would say that.”
The jailers sneered and looked sarcastically at the young cultivator.
The young cultivator got uptight and shouted, “He broke the lock. He broke it with a blow! Ask the others if you don’t believe me.”
The jailers immediately laughed icily. “Are you treating us as fools? He’s locked in the opposite cell. How could he break your lock through the cell door, across the wide aisle? Why don’t you try and show us?”
“He unlocked his door and came over to break my door lock. Everyone, please speak up!” The young cultivator had no choice but to turn to the others for help. The remaining criminals had seen enough and were about to explain the truth.
However, Xu Que spoke first and cried out, “Don’t believe them. I suspect that they are in cahoots. They might too escape later!”
They might also escape?
When they first heard this, they were instantly furious and wanted to rebuke Xu Que. But they suddenly calmed down the very next moment. Xu Que’s remarks were unfounded and did not affect them at all. Instead, he was warning them that if they dared to help the cultivator, he would deal with them in the same way later. By then, they would be struggling in the same dire situation! After thinking about this, people immediately shut their mouths. They did not want to provoke Xu Que any more.
Although they were only in prison after being implicated by Xu Que, there was still a chance that they could get out if they tried. However, if Xu Que managed to land them into the Level 2 Buddha Prison, they might never see daylight again. He is not a person they can provoke! Everyone shook their heads and pretended to be deaf, ignoring the young cultivator.
The young cultivator turned ghastly pale. At that moment, he began to regret and wonder why he had tried to provoke the fellow in the first place.
Bam!
With a m.u.f.fled thud, the young cultivator fell to the ground paralyzed, hugging his head in his arms. He was desperate.
What could he do except wallow in despair?
Explain himself? There’s no way they would believe him now.
Resist? That’s even more impossible!
In front of these prison guards, resistance would warrant three levels of offense charges. They would be put into Buddha Prison Level 4 or 5, or worse, be executed on the spot. Whatever the result, it would be very tragic.
“The prisoner stopped resisting! Thanks for coming, guys. As soon as you arrived, your auras taunted him into submission. 666!” Xu Que flattered them generously.
The jailers, however, did not appreciate it. They shot a cold glare at Xu Que and warned, “Keep your hands to yourself, lad. Cause trouble, and we’ll see that you’ll be duly punished!”
“Oh?” Xu Que suddenly smiled. “What did you say? Come again. I didn’t hear you clearly!”
“Hmph, keep acting that way, and I’ll make sure that you become deaf for real. I’m warning you that now you’ve entered the cell, all of you better f*cking stay where you belong. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, no matter who started it, I’ll make you regret it for your entire life!” The head jailer warned everyone with menacing words.
Many expressions turned instantly dark and ominous, but they dared not say a word.
“Ah, to h.e.l.l with your big dog b.a.l.l.s! I won’t take this!” b.u.t.tface immediately cried foul.
Howl howl howl! “Where there is oppression, there is resistance! Everyone, join us as we rise in protest!” The toy poodle yelled as it rattled and banged on the cell door.
“Atrocious!”
The jailers bellowed and glared fiercely at b.u.t.tface and toy poodle.
Crack!
At that moment, only the crisp clank of metal breaking could be heard. Xu Que broke the lock with a snap and pushed it open. He smiled, “I was speaking the truth about not hearing what you said. However, it’s not like I care anyway. What I’m about to say is more important, so pay attention to that.” Xu Que’s expression was severe as he spoke icily, “From now on, the Exploding Heavens Faction has officially taken over the Buddha Prison!”
Xu Que waved his hand.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
To the sounds of metallic tremors, the door locks of b.u.t.tface’s, toy poodle’s, and Jiang Hongyan’s cells fell apart and landed on the ground.
