This prison, built by the Great Li imperial court specifically to confine Savage Demon Race members, was a Mountain Water Secret Realm utterly devoid of the slightest taint. Standing within it felt like stepping into a painting.
The young Yin Guan and this ruthless Cloth Sewer looked more like a noble young master and his maidservant, hand in hand as they toured the mountains and rivers.
Nian Xin explained, "The prison has three levels in total. Yan Jiaoran and I are jointly responsible for interrogations, each with our own duties. He gathers secret records on Savage World geography and its various sects, while I organize their Dao formulas and enter them into the records. Yan Jiaoran is an old hand here. They say this forbidden ground was built entirely with the Zi Zhao Yan Clan's own money."
Chen Ping'an nodded. Yan Jiaoran, who came from the Zi Zhao Yan Clan yet held no official position on the surface, was Eldest Senior Brother's confidant. Han Zhoujin, the formation master of Great Li's Earthly Branches, had been brought from the Shengao Sect's Qingtan Blessed Land to Great Li by Yan Jiaoran. In truth, every Earthly Branch cultivator served as a talisman of protection for their former Lineage or immortal estate—a one-use immunity medal, spent and gone. Take the Ma Fen Yu Shi descendants' little maneuvers at the National Teacher's Manor. Chen Ping'an and Zhao Yao had not exterminated them all or publicized the matter in the official gazette, but had instead given the Yu Lineage an entire generation to withdraw from the Imperial Court. It was not because Ma Fen Yu Shi had produced an Empress, Yu Mian. It was only because this had been an unwritten rule Cui Chan established at the very beginning of the Great Li Earthly Branches.
