It's finally out!

The hot sunshine shone on Wang Chen's face, causing him to squint his eyes subconsciously.

Not far ahead, there is Yongle Immortal City standing on the back of Dragon Turtle!

In fact, it took less than a day from the accident in the dungeon to the time he escaped, but Wang Chen felt like he had experienced a reincarnation of life and death.

He really thought before that he might die trapped underground!

Fortunately, the damage inside the dungeon was not very serious, and it was still within the capability to reopen the blocked tunnels.

Especially after joining a self-rescue team, a group of Purple Mansion tier jailers took turns to help. Although there were conflicts and bumps in the process, the final result was good.

The most important thing is that during this incident, most of the cells were safe and sound.

At least Zone E didn't see any escaped prisoners.

Otherwise the situation will be even more chaotic.

Since all Teleportation Array can no longer be used, everyone escaped to the ground through a secret passage.

After coming out, some people were happy, some laughed, some were relieved, and some had mixed emotions.

Wang Chen It is very clear that this matter has just begun!

At this moment, a Flying Ship came through the sky and landed in the open space next to it.

On the surface of the ship's hull, the emblem of the Prison Department is particularly eye-catching.

Just as Wang Chen guessed, he and all the escaped jailers were first brought to Yongle Immortal City, and then put under unified supervision on the Prison Department's territory.

The treatment is almost the same as that of prisoners!

But no one complained about this, because everyone deeply understood the nature of their own urine.

If the jailers commit a crime, Prison Department will never show mercy to one of their own, but will be more severe on the contrary.

Noisy protests at this time are not only useless, but will actually get you into more and bigger troubles.

Therefore, everyone wisely remained silent and cooperated with the investigation above.

In fact, if you just think about it, you will know that if such a big thing happened to Yongle Dungeon, Prison Department will bear the brunt of the blame. If we don't find a few scapegoats, we will really overestimate the conscience of the higher-ups.

Wang Chen stayed in the Prison Department for three days.

There was nothing to eat or drink, and they were crowded together with many people, and more and more jailers were brought back later.

Fortunately, the Sumeru Ring storage bag was not confiscated and everyone kept it individually. The situation was not too bad.

Group after group of jailers were brought in for questioning.

I went and never came back.

There is no doubt that the entire Prison Department system will undergo a major cleaning.

While in jail, Wang Chen heard a lot of true and false news.

The first thing that can be determined is that Yongle Dungeon suffered a powerful attack from the enemy. It is said that two Nascent Soul True Immortal participated.

No matter how detailed the situation is, it is beyond the scope of ordinary jailers.

This reminded Wang Chen of the Joyous Union Sect Nascent Soul who came to see Old Demon Han, and it suddenly hurt.

If a woman becomes willful, she can really destroy the world!

But if the two Nascent Soul True Immortals did such a big thing just to rescue a demon cultivator who voluntarily went to jail, Wang Chen didn't quite believe it. He always felt that the water here was too deep.

Secondly, some prisoners escaped, but were quickly recaptured, and some were killed.

No one can tell specifically.

Groups of people were taken away, and then it was Wang Chen's turn.

Wang Chen was questioned by two Prison Department officials in a secret room.

The other party's attitude was quite friendly, and the questioning was more like a casual conversation than a severe interrogation.

Wang Chen noticed that on the table in front of the two of them was a small sculpture of a beast that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, or a tiger but not a tiger.

Wang Chen recognized the sculpture as Bi Xie.

Legend has it that Bi Xie possesses ninety-nine spiritual orifices and is naturally intelligent and psychic. He can distinguish the authenticity of all things and hear lies.

Wang Chen speculates that this Bi Xie statue is a special magic weapon, used to identify whether the person being questioned is telling the truth!

It was this discovery that greatly increased Wang Chen's vigilance.

Therefore, during the rest of the conversation, whatever he said, he would go through it in his mind first, telling the truth but not entirely, and only talking about things that did not involve his own secrets.

"I am willing to make a vow..."

Wang Chen said in a deep voice, "This cultivator has nothing to do with this matter, otherwise God will strike with thunder and he will die a good death!"

Of course he was telling the truth.

But Wang Chen would not tell the other party that he watched Old Demon Han run away with the girls.

The two Prison Department officials looked at each other.

The five thunderbolts from the sky are poisonous oaths. Under normal circumstances, there will be cause and effect, and it is nothing more than a big or small problem.

Wang Chen was so steadfast in his oath, and there was still a hint of shame at being wronged in his calmness, which made both of them feel that it was completely unnecessary for them to come to him for questioning.

What Wang Chen said is basically similar to what they found in their investigation!

"You will stay here for the next two days."

One of the officials closed the file and said to Wang Chen, "We will rearrange the work after the investigation is clear."

Wang Chen What else can you say?

It can only mean obeying all the arrangements above.

As a result, after another three days of waiting, Wang Chen finally received an order against him.

Recruit him to guard Demon Cave!

Demon Cave is a very special place in Yongle Dungeon. The most vicious monsters and demons are imprisoned or suppressed inside. It is also the place where Evil Spirits is most likely to breed.

Due to the extremely harsh environment, few jailors were willing to volunteer to guard there!

Who wants to jump into a manure pit?

Wang Chen knows very well that now he is like a little fish in the moat. He was swimming well in the water, but he didn't expect that the house by the river caught fire and burned his head!

He has no background or connections in Yongle Immortal City, his background is also very humble, and he is just the right age.

As for the reason for distribution, it is even simpler.

Who allowed Wang Chen to be so close to the old man? If he wasn't unlucky, who would be?

After questioning, Wang Chen finally regained his freedom and was able to go shopping and play in the city!

But Prison Department only had two days left for him!

Time flew by so fast, two days flew by, and Wang Chen, who received the notification letter, was taken back to Zone E.

But he failed to return to Zone E-9. Instead, he passed through another secret passage and dived deeper underground.

Until Demon Cave!

The person who came out to greet them was a bearded man with a cultivation level of Purple Mansion peak, who was only one step away from condensing the golden elixir.

"Your name is Wang Chen?"

The bearded man's name was Changsun Yong. After flipping through Wang Chen's file, he looked at Wang Chen and asked, "What did you do to get here?

Wang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't commit any crime, it's just bad luck."

"Everyone who comes here says they are wronged."

Changsun Yong curled his lips, then took out a nameplate and gave it to Wang Chen: "This is your identity plate. Work hard here from now on, and you will have the opportunity to get what you want in the future!"

Wang Chen is also helpless.

Because the other party's current tone is too much like coaxing a child!
