Chapter 1216: Chapter 1115: Into the Dungeon
After those people left, Tang Feng threw out several Divine Puppets to follow them.
It’s essential to fully understand their situation to utilize them effectively.
As for whether they agree or not, Tang Feng genuinely doesn’t require their consent, because if he wants it, they can’t refuse, unless they don’t want to live.
The reason those people didn’t agree immediately was simply out of fear of jumping from one wolf’s den to another.
Understandable.
The most luxurious area in the city is a Garden District, a place that seems somewhat decent, yet with an undeniable ancient charm.
There is still a discrepancy.
Tang Feng settled down near these areas.
This inn’s expenses are five times more than the previous one.
Of course, the quality and environment are incomparable.
Moreover, Tang Feng discovered that the manager of this inn had a rather high level of Cultivation.
A Deep Space Realm, their realm was not lower than his at all.
Indeed, you can’t underestimate anyone.
Hidden quite deeply, if not for Tang Feng’s powerful Divine Sense, he wouldn’t have noticed.
Tang Feng stayed here for three days, waiting until the Divine Puppets returned with reports that those people had been inquiring about his news, and finally, he smiled.
It’s about time.
Tang Feng and the Divine Puppets went to the initial inn, but at this moment, an incident occurred inside the inn.
Those people had secretly made contact, and were already being watched by the Controller, who also had an eye on Tang Feng. Surrounding them were over a hundred guards, all in the Chaos Realm.
Honestly, Tang Feng did slightly underestimate Primordial Star.
The secrets hidden might be quite astounding; originally, he planned to leave with a few people, but now it seems further investigation is needed. Missing out on any Treasures would be regrettable.
In the inn, a few people had decided to give in, knowing their intelligence had no use against such powerful figures.
Among them was one with incredible math skills, another with amazing destiny predictions, alongside two others born with natural arrogance. With slight refinement, these four had boundless potential.
However, they had their flaws; they started a bit late, likely requiring a vast amount of resources, which was probably why those forces were unwilling to invest.
However, they all seemed aware of their value, otherwise, they wouldn’t have caused such a commotion.
But, Tang Feng didn’t plan to interfere. In his eyes, profits came first, and saving these few wouldn’t allow them to grow for a long time.
Tang Feng also didn’t want to waste such time; talent was never lacking.
Still, information about Primordial Star needed to come from them, so he retracted the Divine Puppets, deliberately exposing himself to the four.
Sure enough, as soon as they sought self-preservation, they immediately pointed out Tang Feng.
"Sir, it’s his doing."
The middle-aged man glanced back at Tang Feng and then signaled for people to take him too. Seeing Tang Feng’s calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but nod; this young man was talented.
"Take everyone back."
Tang Feng, along with the four, was escorted to an underground prison outside the city.
All the guards outside were in the Chaos Realm, and there was an Ancient Array set up, not for defense but a sort of warning formation.
Tang Feng took a glance and was deeply inspired, planning to study it well once in the prison.
At this time, while others were not paying attention, he quietly set up a Formation.
The dungeon was damp, reeking with rotten odors and a lingering stench.
Those imprisoned in this stone cell had been here for thousands of years, without ever taking a bath or seeing daylight. If not for their strong Cultivation, they would have long perished.
At the Chaos Realm, with the transformation of yin and yang, honestly speaking, it’s difficult to die unless encountering an irresistible force or if they themselves choose to die; otherwise, it’s truly hard to perish.
This was something the various forces on Primordial Star were helpless about; fortunately, everyone shared a consensus, using one stone cell, divided into east, south, west, and north.
And the stone cell the middle-aged man wanted to take Tang Feng to was located in the east area.
Torches were placed every ten meters on the walls, with a guard stationed on each side.
In the stone cell, it wasn’t one person per room but ten people in each cell, roughly thirty square meters in size, making it neither big nor small. All amenities were inside, and upon entering, one was overwhelmed by the stench.
Tang Feng and the four were placed in one cell, where five others were already present.
Just ten people, as soon as the five entered, the seasoned inmates inside immediately stood up and surrounded them.
"Hand over your Divine Rings." Seeing that Tang Feng and the others were only at the Divine Sovereign Realm, the five rejoiced, seizing the opportunity to change their diet.
Except for Tang Feng, the four decisively handed over a Divine Ring, naturally hiding the best ones.
Indeed, upon seeing the resources inside those rings, even if they were nothing much, it was better than nothing, they went crazy.
"The last four still handed over their Divine Rings; in here, if you die, you’re truly dead."
After dealing with the four, they turned to Tang Feng, the reason they didn’t touch him earlier was that the head of the cell noticed something unusual.
Firstly, Tang Feng’s attire was quite extraordinary, he entered calmly without any sign of panic, but the most crucial point made the Prison Chief reconsider his initial plan to attack him.
At first, observing Tang Feng at the Divine Sovereign Realm, then seeing him at the Chaos Realm, and then at the Deep Space Realm, he dared not look further; it was too bizarre, so he wisely refrained from acting.
After taking the belongings from those four, they retreated to a corner to eat.
In here, they only got one meal a month, pitiful.
Although their realm remained, their actual strength was greatly diminished, performing less than fifty percent of their peak power.
While Tang Feng exuded a dangerous aura, as long as the others didn’t provoke him, all would be well; he wouldn’t foolishly attack.
However, just because they dared not, it didn’t mean others wouldn’t; next door, ten people opened a hidden door and entered through the stone wall.
"Kid, come here and kneel, then hand over everything," the seated Prison Chief said with a smile.
Tang Feng slowly walked over, stopping a meter away with a smile, "You want me to kneel?"
"Nonsense, if you don’t kneel, we’ll cripple you right away.
"That’s right, listen to the boss; if not, you’re seeking death."
These prison inmates were quite arrogant. One approached to tap Tang Feng, and before touching him, something eerie happened — this person suddenly caught fire, the flames spread across his body, and in a blink, he turned to ashes.
This scene frightened the seated Prison Chief so much that he fell to the ground, and then crawled to return to the adjacent cell.
"Try running again," Tang Feng’s voice was light and calm, yet held supreme authority, and the Prison Chief along with the inmates obediently returned and knelt before Tang Feng.
"Sir, we were wrong, please spare us."
"Why should I spare you, on what grounds?"
"Sir, we’re willing to exchange a big secret for our lives," the Prison Chief was now exceedingly nervous, unable to recall the last time he experienced such a scene.
"Speak, if I’m not interested, you’ll all die," Tang Feng smiled.
"It’s regarding the Elemental Crystals, we recently discovered a large amount in a passage, seemingly a grand mine. Sir, look." The Prison Chief offered a Seven-colored Crystal Stone to Tang Feng.
It was stunningly beautiful, with immensely astonishing Energy inside, capable of allowing cultivation for those at the Deep Space Realm, something Tang Feng hadn’t expected.
