Sneaking Out of Prison to Investigate on His Own!

Wang Huan's heart skipped a beat. He stared intently at the wall, as if he could see the mysterious figure through the stone.

"What clue?" he asked eagerly.

The voice chuckled softly, as if with a hint of amusement. "Do you remember, before the horde of Demon Beast appeared, was there anything unusual that happened in Town Heaven Pass? Or was anyone behaving differently than usual?"

Wang Huan closed his eyes and tried hard to recall.

The daily scenes of Town Heaven Pass flashed through his mind: the busy figures of the workers, the rigorous training of the soldiers, and the serious faces of the masters.

But as for what was unusual, he couldn't think of anything at the moment.

"I... I can't remember," he said, somewhat frustrated.

"It's alright, this is just the beginning," the voice comforted. "You can try investigating from the time of Li Liu's death and see if there are any clues you've overlooked."

Wang Huan nodded, realizing he needed to recall and observe more carefully.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

In the days that followed, Wang Huan spent one long day and night after another in the prison cell.

He kept recalling the scene before Li Liu's death, trying to find a clue.

At the same time, he also began to pay attention to the conversations and behaviors of the guards outside the cell, hoping to find some useful information.

Finally, one day, he overheard something unusual in the guards' conversation.

"Have you heard? Before Li Liu died, he secretly went to the Central District, and after he came back, he became very secretive," a guard whispered.

"Central District? Isn't that Forbidden Land? Only a few high-ranking officials from Town Heaven Pass are allowed to enter? Why would Li Liu go there?" another guard asked in surprise.

"Who knows? Anyway, he died not long after he came back. Maybe he encountered something unclean in that Central District," the first guard said mysteriously. "Otherwise, who would be stupid enough to run out of Town Heaven Pass for no reason?"

Wang Huan's heart skipped a beat; he realized this might be an important clue.

The Central District, the absolute core of Town Heaven Pass, is off-limits to everyone except Master and a few others.

Even he can't do it.

The guard's words also enlightened him.

Indeed.

Why does Li Liu happen to be going out tonight?

Did you happen to encounter Demon Beast?

Wang Huan frowned, knowing that if he were discovered going to the Central District, his master would be furious again.

But he still decided to go.

Li Liu's death cannot remain so unclear!

After the guards leave, I'll go check out the Central District myself.

"I'm ready, teleport me out!" Wang Huan whispered to the cell next door.

"Are you really sure? If I use this power, it could have irreversible consequences for you," a voice came from next door. "Are you sure you can bear the cost?"

Wang Huan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Yes, I didn't have any friends when I came to Town Heaven Pass. It was Li Liu and the others who took the initiative to find me, and that's how I gained companions!"

"Alright, get ready, I'm about to begin!" the voice from next door said. "You have fifteen minutes. The guards will return by then, and I'll bring you back. If you find anything, don't act rashly; I'll bring you back!"

"I see!"

A crimson aura appeared beside Wang Huan, instantly enveloping him.

The next second.

Wang Huan's figure disappeared.

Wang Huan stepped onto the blue bricks of Town Heaven Pass and quickly sped towards the Central District along the route, feeling both nervous and expectant.

When he arrived in the Central District, it was located at the very heart of Town Heaven Pass.

They discovered that their master's formation was indeed present here.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the surroundings, as if something was secretly watching him.

But Wang Huan did not back down; he knew he had to find the truth.

As for Master's formation?

His identity Ye Jing's disciple had an effect.

To help him deal with some emergencies, his master gave him some special array plates.

Wang Huan carefully took out the array plate and gently placed it on the ground according to the method taught by his master. The array plate instantly emitted a faint light and subtly resonated with the surrounding array.

He felt a power surging from the array plate, quietly breaking through the outer blockade and allowing him to safely enter the Central District.

Within the Central District, all was quiet, with only the occasional whisper of the wind in one's ears.

Wang Huan's heartbeat echoed in the empty area as he nervously looked around, trying to find any possible clues.

He noticed that the buildings here all appeared exceptionally ancient, with intricate runes carved on the walls, exuding a mysterious aura.

He couldn't resist reaching out to touch the runes, but felt a strong repulsive force, as if some power was preventing him from exploring them further.

Wang Huan felt a chill run down his spine, knowing he couldn't act rashly.

He continued onward, searching for places where clues might be hidden.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a towering building.

That tower was completely different from the surrounding buildings, exuding an eerie and powerful aura.

He cautiously approached the tower, feeling a strong sense of oppression emanating from within.

He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and pushed open the tower door.

Behind the door was a dimly lit corridor, lined with various strange objects and statues.

Wang Huan walked along the corridor, his heart filled with trepidation and curiosity.

Suddenly, his footsteps echoed down the corridor, creating a strange echo.

He stopped and listened carefully to the echoes, discovering that they seemed to be conveying some kind of message.

He closed his eyes, trying to catch the information in the echoes.

Gradually, he heard some indistinct sounds, as if someone was whispering.

He tried to discern the content of the sounds, but found himself unable to fully understand them.

Just then, a strong tremor came from the bottom of the tower, and the entire tower began to shake.

Wang Huan was startled, knowing he had to leave this place as soon as possible.

He turned and ran towards the door, only to find it tightly shut and impossible to open.

He anxiously looked around, searching for a chance to escape.

Suddenly, he saw a small, half-open door, behind which seemed to be a secret passage.

Without hesitation, he rushed into the secret passage and ran wildly along the narrow corridor.

The secret passage was pitch black, with only the occasional whistling of the wind in one's ears.

Wang Huan's heartbeat echoed in the darkness; he felt as if he were in an unknown world.

He didn't know where the secret passage led, nor whether he could escape successfully.

Just as he was about to give up, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared ahead.

He quickened his pace and ran towards the light, finally emerging from the secret passage. He found himself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by desolate ruins.

Wang Huan sat panting on the ruins, his heart filled with fear and confusion.

He didn't know where he was, nor what to do next.
