Chapter 361 Tian Xin
The Imperial Prison,
Deep within the imperial palace, there was a hole. A hole where the strongest prisoners of the kingdom were held.
Sure, some of them deserved it and others didn't. But it was well known that once you entered the prison, there was no coming out. No one ever broke out of that prison until this day.
Three men stood at the edge of the hole, peering in.
"Do we have a sword strong enough the cut those chains?" One of them asked.
"Do you think that I wouldn't come here if I wasn't prepared enough? Let us get this over with as fast as possible. Feng'er did his job. Now, we just have to rescue Xin'er." The man in the middle said as he took one step forward, falling into this hole that no-one knew the depth of.
The moment he did, all he could see was darkness. Until he used his divine sense, that was.
As he extended his divine sense, he could see so many people in this god forsaken hole, all of them just sitting there, cross legged, meditating like not a day had gone by.
But these people weren't going to ever break the chains that bound them. The chains were special. They were unbreakable by normal swords.
And these chains sucked the Qi out of the ones who bore them. So whoever had these chains on were never going to be strong enough to break out of them.
They were destined to stay here, stuck, until someone was able to break through the dozens of Soul Evolution Stage cultivators within the Imperial palace and come all the way here.
But three did. They prepared for years just for this. And now, it was time.
The man who was in charge hovered for a moment, slowing down his speed, and stopped in front of one of the cells in they cylindrical prison. This was hundreds of meters deep in.
And inside this cell, was a woman. A stunning woman whose beauty made the world wallow in pain that such a woman was stuck inside a prison like this.
"Xin'er." The man called out softly.
The woman's eyes fluttered open. She looked forward, and even though she had no Qi left in her, no power to use her divine sense, and no capability of seeing through this pitch darkness, she knew who the one who came was.
"Ling Tian. You are finally here." She called out, softly. Her voice cracked. This was maybe the first time that she spoke in years. No one came here, and everyone wanted to save their energy. They were cultivators, all of them.
So the palace didn't even bother feeding them. They absorbed Qi from the atmosphere, let it run through their body once, and the Qi left through the chains, drifting away out of reach.
These people all barely survived like this, the woman even more so. Her lips were blue, her eyes were reddened, and her entire body was as frail as it could get.
And yet, she was still strong enough to stand up and come closer to the prison cell's bars.
"Why did you come all the way here? I told you to stay with him, make sure that he isn't in any danger." She said softly, the emotion in her voice boundless.
"He is strong enough to fend for himself now. He is in the succession wars, and he is the one who is winning." Liu Ling Tian proudly said.
"I told you not to let him risk his life for that goddamn throne that cheats everyone out of their life! Do not let him sit on that throne! I made you promise me that!" She shouted.
"Calm down, Xin'er. Wait. I will bring you out of here." Liu Ling Tian said as he took out a sword.
A sword that shone so bright that all of the prisoners in this prison here finally saw light for the first time in decades. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
Aaaargh!
There were shouts all over, not able to withstand this light. But Tian Xin, the woman of the hour, didn't say a word.
The sword slowly touched the prison bars, which just curled away, breaking away to create a path for Liu Ling Tian to step forward and embrace his beloved.
The both of them became one, and inseparable, until someone interrupted them.
"I hate to interrupt you guys, but we have to go. Right now. If anyone finds that it is us who did this, then guess who they have to use against us? Liu Feng is in the palace, and I just heard that he stepped on the throne to start refining it." Li Tian appeared behind them.
"He did what?" Liu Ling Tian broke out of the embrace and turned around.
His furious expression was visible through the light of the sword.
"Bring me to the throne. I will speak to the divine spirit. I will beg it to forgive my child. It will listen to me." Tian Xin said, as weak as she could be.
"All of you! This discussion can be had for later. The men from the succession wars have arrived. We have to go now! Tian Hun and Tian Gan will no longer stay guarding the throne. They will come for us." Liu Qian appeared as well.
"Fine." Liu Ling Tian said as he raised his sword once more.
It fell down on the chains that bound Tian Xin to this vicious place that her own brother imprisoned her in.
The moment that the chains separated, all of the Qi that was here, which was quite abundant, started creating a vortex around Tian Xin.
It started funneling into the peerless beauty, and soon enough, rosiness appeared on her lips, her face, and she was no longer as weak as she was.
It would take a few weeks to recover completely, maybe even a year, but she wasn't going to collapse now.
"We should go now. I will not tolerate losing my son before I even meet him." Tian Xin said fiercely.
