Black Pillar Prison and the Fallen Grand Priest

Black Pillar Prison

The prison infiltration had been underway for 25 hours and 39 minutes.

Although Gu Xu had seized the priests' memories through "Dreams," he had completely mapped out Black Pillar Prison more than ten hours ago.

The routes inside the prison were complex and lengthy, with multiple ringed layers.

To pass through each layer, they needed a special priest's "door key"—that priest's living arm. It was both troublesome and laborious.

This prison had been built to suppress, divert, and regulate the "origin of black water."

It used a kind of "life-insulating" material. Black stone arranged in fixed patterns could effectively restrain the spread of vitality, while intricate metal pipes ran across the walls, creating Black Pillar Prison's distinctive style.

Seven humans were rapidly making their way through its interior.

"There's only one door left before we reach the core level where the secrets of the Divine Capital are stored.

However.

The final 'door key' belongs to the warden—the Fallen Grand Priest's arm... His strength is second only to the Pharaoh's, and he'll be waiting for us before the final door. Be prepared for battle.

We have to finish this quickly... Otherwise, the priest reinforcements behind us will catch up.

Xiao Qing, how long until the pursuers arrive?"

"The traps are working well. Even the nearest reinforcements are still three doors away from us. They'll need at least two hours."

"Good."

Xiao Qing, a fourth-rank martial artist from the Mysterious Pavilion of Dragon City, was an assassin Mechanical Arts master.

As the group traveled through the prison's labyrinthine structure, he had not participated in a single battle.

Instead, he remained at the rear of the group, setting Mechanical Traps along the way to delay the pursuers sent by the pyramid.
