Chapter 283

"Saint Su, those adjudicators have been arranged according to your wishes."

Yao Jin sat in his wheelchair, his tone respectful, "Are there any other instructions?"

Just moments before, the Temple Adjudicators had completed their assembly and been assigned to every corner of Guang Ming City.

The Gu family didn't hide the whereabouts of those Night Watchers.

Su Ye took the power to control these adjudicators from Yao Jin and forcefully took over this incident... but Yao Jin remained calm and didn't even offer the slightest resistance.

Su Ye looked at Yao Jin as if he were a stranger.

In his memory, this Yao wasn't so easy to talk to.

He was about to strip him of his power...

He wouldn't surrender so easily.

But now that the adjudicators were obeying orders, he didn't want to cause any trouble.

Su Ye said indifferently, "Lord Yao is indeed sensible."

"If there are no other arrangements, I will return." Yao Jin simply smiled in response.

"Don't rush."

Su Ye said leisurely, "Lord Yao, Su Ye has another matter."

Yao Jin paused slightly in his motion of pushing the wheelchair.

"I want to visit Elder Yuan Yang in the secret prison."

Su Ye said calmly, "The return you mentioned should be to the secret prison, right? Since it's on the way, give me a ride."

"..."

Yao Jin frowned and said, "Saint Su taking over the adjudicators is something I can't argue with, but interfering with the secret prison is a clear case of 'crossing the line.'"

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with the affairs of the secret prison."

Su Ye said, "I'm just going to visit... Is it not allowed to visit the secret prison at this juncture?"

"Elder Yuan Yang is currently performing a task."

Yao Jin shook his head, "It's indeed inconvenient to visit at this time."

"What's inconvenient?" Su Ye continued, "I know what task Yuan Yang is doing. Meng Xizhou has been locked up by you for six years and hasn't said a word. Is it useful to put him in there? The Meng is not a fool, she knows you are playing a trick... Since you are in charge of the secret prison, just open the barrier and completely isolate Meng Xizhou from the outside world."

"After Elder Yuan Yang entered the secret prison, he suffered a lot to gain trust."

Yao Jin smiled and said, "If you go to visit at this time, and the shielding barrier is opened, causing Meng Xizhou to become suspicious, and the Second Elder's mission fails... who will be responsible for these consequences?"

Su Ye was expressionless, "I'm sorry, Lord Yao, I suspect you of privately altering the plan and locking Elder Yuan Yang deep in the secret prison."

The things he wanted to do on this trip were not just to strip Yao Jin of the power to control the adjudicators.

He had to meet with Yuan Yang—

The longer Yao Jin stayed in the light, the more uneasy he felt!

"Saint Su, these words cannot be said carelessly."

Yao Jin's smile remained on his face, not annoyed at all, "Without evidence, today you say I privately altered the plan, tomorrow will you say I betrayed the Temple? Entering the secret prison was personally approved by the Second Elder... He is willing to endure for the Temple for a period of time, how can you smear him with random words?"

"So... you don't dare to take me to the secret prison?"

Su Ye looked directly at Yao Jin.

He knew this "partner" who grew up with him too well.

Some things don't need evidence!

His inner intuition was the best evidence!

Yao Jin leisurely said, "Lord Su Ye, it's not that I dare not, but that I cannot. When the mission is over, you will naturally see Elder Yuan Yang. If you really want to go to the secret prison... why not report to the Grand Elder with me."

"The Grand Elder is busy presiding over the 'Xixin Chi Trial' today." (Trial of the Cleansing Heart Pool)

Su Ye said coldly, "It's just a visit, why bother him with such a small matter?"

"Then I can't help it."

Yao Jin pushed the wheelchair and turned to leave.

He only took a few steps.

"Lord Yao, I advise you to come with me obediently."

Su Ye's voice transmission fell into his heart.

"Like you, I was once a shadow in the underground of Guang Ming City. I know the location of the 'secret prison', and I also know that this place is full of traps, with countless barriers and layers of array patterns."

Su Ye said calmly, "If you are unwilling to lead the way, I can still enter the secret prison alone."

"Then it will be Saint Su breaking into the secret prison on your own. If there is any damage, what does it have to do with me?"

Yao Jin smiled.

"Is that so, can your secret prison really hurt me?"

Su Ye said calmly, "Lord Yao, you must understand the true meaning of my words just now... If a transcendent with enough strength decides to break into the dungeon and destroy it, you have no way to stop it."

"..."

Yao Jin turned the wheelchair around and stared intently at Su Ye.

Su Ye casually bypassed Yao Jin's gaze, slowly came behind the wheelchair, and then placed his hands on the wheelchair: "Now that you have finally stood on the stage and can bask in the sunlight, what will be the consequences if something happens to the secret prison at this juncture?"

"Is Saint Su sure you want to do such a thing? Destroying the dungeon will only harm Guang Ming City and bring no benefit."

Yao Jin was pushed out of the Temple just like that.

The two walked along the streets of the Saintly Festival procession.

"There's a very familiar saying that I seem to have just heard... How can you slander me without any evidence?"

Su Ye said expressionlessly, "There are so many Night Watchers from the Gu family, if something really happens to the secret prison, it was probably them who did it."

This was a negotiation.

Su Ye wanted to visit Yuan Yang to determine whether Yao Jin had used torture on the Second Elder.

He knew his request would be rejected.

But... the more Yao Jin refused, the more determined he became.

"I advise Saint Su to think clearly."

Yao Jin said slowly, "Going to the secret prison at this juncture, what if it causes trouble..."

Su Ye's palm tilted forward slightly, from the back of the wheelchair to his shoulder.

"Kacha."

A very slight sound of bone.

Yao Jin's expression changed slightly.

The hands on his back massaged him very gently.

"Lord Yao, you must be clear, I am the Saint... and you are nothing."

Su Ye pressed Yao Jin's shoulder and said seriously, "Now, at this moment, immediately. Take me to the secret prison."

……

……

"Young Master, you guessed correctly—"

Luo Yu sent back a message, "As soon as Su Ye came out of seclusion, he removed Yao Jin's power. Many adjudicators have left the Temple and gone to the Night Watchers' resting places that we deliberately arranged to guard!"

Gu Nanfeng leaned against the banyan tree in the courtyard and woke up from his meditative state.

He smiled and asked softly, "Where is Su Ye now?"

"He has already left the Temple."

Luo Yu said in a deep voice, "He is on the way with Yao Jin... It seems he is going to the 'secret prison'!"

Zhong Fan, who was beside him, had a complicated expression.

Young Master Gu did indeed calculate very accurately. The two things Su Ye did after coming out of seclusion were guessed!

One was to remove power, and the other was to explore the prison!

Gu Nanfeng stood up and said softly, "Su Ye and Yao Jin have always been at odds. Now that these two are fighting, it must not be just about removing power. Su Ye will definitely go to the secret prison, and he will definitely use the 'Yuan Yang' matter to cause trouble, so Yao Jin will definitely try to stop him. It's a pity... Yao Jin's status is destined not to delay for too long. As long as Su Ye wants to see Yuan Yang, he can't stop him no matter what."

"Young Master, are you going to?"

Luo Yu saw Gu Nanfeng reaching out to brush the dust off his shoulder and couldn't help but become nervous.

"This is a good opportunity, I want to try."

Gu Nanfeng said casually, "If Yao Jin and Su Ye are both in the secret prison, then the restrictions and barriers will be closed. As long as I am fast enough, I can rescue Meng Xizhou, and I can also take Yao Jin and Su Ye as hostages... and leave the secret prison together."

As long as I'm fast enough?

Zhong Fan was still a little worried after hearing this, but he soon felt relieved.

The wooden sword was inserted under the banyan tree in the courtyard.

Gu Nanfeng reached out his palm and gently grasped the hilt of the sword.

The next moment.

Countless gusts of wind howled, and the falling leaves rustled. The figure who reached out and grasped the wooden sword had suddenly disappeared into the courtyard. Only the thousands of strands of swift wind brushed Luo Yu and Zhong Fan's cheeks.

Gu Nanfeng had already disappeared.

Only at this moment did Zhong Fan understand why Young Master Gu kept saying that only he could carry out the prison break, and no one else could.

Only those who have truly witnessed the Dacheng [Lan Qie] (Storm Cut) know what kind of terrifying speed it is.

Traveling with the wind, in just an instant, one can disappear into the world.

……

……

"If I remember correctly, the last time I came here was more than ten years ago."

Su Ye pushed Yao Jin's wheelchair and came to the end of a long alley.

He said softly, "This secret prison entrance hasn't changed at all."

The two sides of this extremely hidden alley looked ordinary.

But in fact, as long as you go deeper, you will see the [Heavily Armored Guards] who are stationed inside the secret prison all year round.

This was a team with a detached status in the Adjudicator Corps. Jia Wei came from the [Heavily Armored Guards] back then.

These [Heavily Armored Guards] were all powerful, determined, and wore A-level sealing objects [Scale Light Armor], which were thick-skinned, resistant to blows!

"Saint Su, are you really going to enter the secret prison?"

Just as the two were about to enter the end of the alley's barrier, Yao Jin, who had been closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, suddenly asked this question.

Su Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Lord Yao, what's wrong, are you afraid?"

"Indeed, I'm a little scared."

Yao Jin gathered the Guang Ming Sect robe around him and said seriously, "I heard that during these few years of closed-door cultivation, Lord Su Ye has successfully broken through and become a titled figure... I just don't know what level Lord Su Ye's strength has reached?"

"What do you want to say?"

Su Ye frowned slightly.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little afraid of death."

Yao Jin said regretfully, "According to your request, I have already opened the barrier restriction in this secret prison. If something unexpected happens next, I hope Lord Su Ye can protect me a little. If I die, then what happened in the secret prison... you won't be able to explain clearly."

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Su Ye said expressionlessly, "It's just a trip to the secret prison, it's not going to kill you."

He pushed Yao Jin and stepped into the secret prison barrier.

At the moment of entering the secret prison.

Yao Jin watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and smiled silently.
