"If you want to find Prince Bei Xi, you can go to the prison at Ten Mile Slope. He should be there, not in the eighteenth layer of hell, because the Black Lotus Envoy has already changed the deployment!" Black Iron stated directly.
"How do you know so clearly?" Lu Fan asked, somewhat confused. "If you truly didn't want Prince Bei Xi to be in trouble, with your status, rescuing him shouldn't be difficult!"
"You think too simply!"
Black Iron shook his head. "Within the entire Hell Dynasty, the war faction is the mainstream. Those like me can only be scorned. Therefore, I have no foundation within the entire dynasty."
"If you could become the Lord of Hell, perhaps there wouldn't be a major war between the two dynasties!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
"Such things are not just talk!"
Black Iron shook his head. "To become the Lord of Hell, one must gain the approval of the people of Hell. They have been suppressed for many years in the Hell Dynasty and have always wanted to occupy the territory of the Heavenly Dynasty. How could they change this mindset!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan nodded slightly, his expression filled with gravity. This time, he owed Black Iron a favor. If Black Iron hadn't told him, he might have already entered the eighteenth layer of hell of the Hell Dynasty.
At that time, it would be impossible to leave alive, and it might even be counterproductive. He wouldn't have been clear about such matters.
At the same time, after leaving the imperial capital, Lu Fan went directly to Ten Mile Slope without any delay. Since Black Iron had said so, it was likely true.
If Black Iron really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't have led him to Ten Mile Slope.
Upon arriving at Ten Mile Slope, Lu Fan indeed discovered a secret dungeon there. Entering the dungeon, he saw several guards of the Hell Dynasty. However, Lu Fan dealt with them instantly, as these individuals were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
In the dungeon, Prince Bei Xi was on the verge of death. Seeing Lu Fan arrive, his face instantly lit up with joy. "King Xi Bei, you've finally come! You must be here to save me. Hurry and take me back to Heaven. I don't want to stay here for another moment!"
"Weren't you always colluding with the Hell Dynasty? How did you end up like this!" Lu Fan rolled his eyes, feeling somewhat angry. For people like this, letting them suffer a bit more didn't seem like a bad thing.
"It was all my fault before. I thought everyone else in the Hell Dynasty obeyed me, but it turns out that wasn't the case. I was just a pawn!" Prince Bei Xi said with a wry smile. "Hurry and save me. I don't want to suffer here anymore!"
Lu Fan nodded. "Rest assured, Prince Bei Xi. Since I've come, I will naturally save you. How could I possibly leave you here!"
Bei Xi nodded heavily and grasped Lu Fan's hand, looking deeply meaningful. Without experiencing this, he might never have known how happy he was before. Now, it seemed his actions were truly self-inflicted.
Lu Fan brought Prince Bei Xi outside the dungeon and was about to leave when he felt a powerful formation power surrounding the area of Ten Mile Slope, firmly enclosing it, making it impossible for anyone to move. Sudan Fiction Network
Lu Fan felt such immense pressure, and his face became extremely grim. He hadn't expected such a powerful formation to be set up here.
"Trampling iron shoes to find nothing, yet it comes effortlessly. In the end, we still fell into your trap!"
The Black Lotus Envoy let out a cold sneer, a chilling tone in his voice. His gaze was fixed on Lu Fan, exceptionally icy.
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Fan's eyes glinted with coldness. "The people of the Hell Dynasty are indeed insidious and cunning. I never expected to trust you!"
"No, no, no, you might have misunderstood. My elder brother didn't lie to you, and he didn't know about our double-cross. It's just that all of this has now succeeded!"
Black Rock let out a cold laugh. "The First Prince of the Heavenly Dynasty and the King of Xi Bei of the Heavenly Dynasty have both been captured by our Hell Dynasty. If this news gets back, I wonder what they will think!"
"Truly, I was careless!"
Lu Fan frowned. He had initially thought there were no traps, but now he couldn't break through the barrier at all. What was even more unacceptable was that the two of them were trapped within the enemy's encirclement, with no hope of turning the tide.
Lu Fan tried to use the Haotian Pagoda, but found that he had been restricted by the formation, not even possessing the spiritual power to move.
"Third brother, it's time to stop. The outbreak of war between the two dynasties is definitely not a good thing for the entire Hell Dynasty!" Black Iron's figure appeared, his face a grim mask, and he looked at Lu Fan with apology.
He never imagined that his reminder would lead to the current situation.
"Big brother, you should know that Father Emperor is also a war advocate. If it weren't for your status as the First Prince of the Hell Dynasty, you would have been placed under house arrest long ago!"
Black Rock sneered coldly, a chilling tone to his lips, as if he couldn't care less about all of this.
With these words, Black Iron's face turned somewhat ashen. He said sternly again, "I am well aware of what you've said, but you should understand that I am your elder brother. You must listen to me. Now, release everyone!"
Black Rock stood aside, completely ignoring him. He paid no mind to Black Iron's words.
"I told you to release them!" Black Iron spoke again, with an even colder tone.
"Prince Black Iron, it's best not to make things difficult for us. After all, we are all acting for the Hell Dynasty. Furthermore, even the Lord of Hell intends to attack the Heavenly Dynasty, so why must you insist on peace!"
The Black Lotus Envoy smiled faintly. "More importantly, these two are extremely valuable bargaining chips. Once this news reaches the Heavenly Dynasty, it will undoubtedly deal a severe blow to their morale. Then, when we attack the Heavenly Dynasty together, we will be victorious!"
"Things will not go as you imagine. The foundation of the Heavenly Dynasty is not something a mere dynasty can shake!" Black Iron spoke again. "Just listen to my advice and stop your reckless actions!"
"Big brother, watch your words!"
With dissatisfaction in his heart, Black Rock spoke again, his voice carrying a chilling edge.
Black Iron said no more. Spiritual energy surged around him as he tried to help Lu Fan solve this problem, only to find that the formation was extremely sturdy. With his abilities, he could not completely dismantle it.
"This is an ancient secret formation of the Hell Dynasty. Let alone big brother, even other experts might not be able to break it!"
Black Rock laughed triumphantly. "After escorting them back to the imperial palace, I will take them to see Father Emperor. Then, Father Emperor will surely praise me!"
