The City Lord's Mansion has actually been established for countless years.
Although it has undergone many renovations, a palace at the back is still a forbidden area.
There is a death cell built by the first generation of the Lord of Chijin City and the State Lord.
Some very dangerous people were once imprisoned in the death row.
The entire death cell is located several thousand meters underground, isolated from everything. Except for some necessary personnel, no one can go down there easily.
Moreover, there is a super powerful formation set up here, which has existed for millions of years and is still not damaged at all.
Each city lord is in charge of a treasure called the sacred wooden pestle. It is only one foot square, but it can activate this formation.
Once the formation is activated, those in the death row will surely die.
This is the horror of death row.
But for many years, no one has been imprisoned here.
The old city lord was the first person to be imprisoned in nearly a hundred thousand years.
Perhaps, he himself had not thought of it.
At this time, the imperial master and his entourage had already arrived outside the death cell.
Here, four elderly priests are already waiting.
As soon as they saw the Imperial Master, the four of them bowed respectfully and greeted him.
The sixteenth prince was simply ignored.
There was even a hint of doubt and anger in their eyes.
Perhaps they had wanted to release the city lord for a long time, but never had the chance.
The sacred wooden pestle is in the hands of the sixteenth prince.
If he is not careful, the old city lord will surely die.
Fortunately, after the Sixteenth Prince became the city lord, he seemed to have lost interest in power and simply allocated a large amount of cultivation resources for his use.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Sixteenth Prince, cultivation is the most important thing, and he wants to be the city lord just to get more resources for cultivation.
He did not harm the old city lord.
But I never visited him.
Only some secret guards were sent to guard here and no one was allowed to approach the entrance of the death cell.
Actually, without the Sixteenth Prince's key, no one else can enter there.
When the lone wolf arrived, he immediately recognized his benefactor.
A certain secret guard, but now he has become a worshipper.
"Greetings, benefactor."
The lone wolf bowed down and was very excited.
The worshipper smiled slightly, lifted up the lone wolf with both hands, and said with a very gratified smile: "You have grown up very quickly in these years. You don't need to thank me. In fact, everything is the will of the old city lord. I am just following orders. Moreover, this time, you invited the national teacher back, which can be regarded as a great achievement. This favor has been repaid. From now on, you no longer owe me or the city lord anything."
Lone Wolf quickly said, "Thank you, benefactor, and thank you, City Lord. From now on, Lone Wolf's life will only be at the City Lord's disposal."
"That's not necessary."
The worshipper said seriously, "Let's discuss this matter later. If you have any ideas, you can talk to the old city lord later."
The lone wolf knew that his own matter was minor and rescuing the city lord was the major matter, so he didn't say anything more.
Everyone looked at the Sixteenth Prince.
The Sixteenth Prince looked at Lone Wolf in surprise. He didn't expect that Lone Wolf was the person his father had rescued. Could it be that he was his father's child outside, and he and he were half-brothers?
The thought had just arisen when it was extinguished.
He felt there was no such possibility.
My father is a kind man. If he was really his own child, he would never have let him wander around for so many years.
Moreover, his father's prestige in Chijin City is extremely high. If he wants to return to the clan as a lone wolf, no one will dare to say anything. There is absolutely no need to do so.
Shaking his head, dismissing these chaotic thoughts, the Sixteenth Prince looked at the four priests and said with a wry smile, "You four have never pledged allegiance to me, is that right?"
The four of them nodded calmly.
The same priest who had been there before came out and said, "Everything was calculated by the Imperial Master and the City Lord. So, we were just cooperating. The Imperial Master had it all planned out long ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to succeed back then."
"Why?"
The sixteenth prince looked shocked.
No one paid any attention to him.
He turned to the Imperial Master and asked, "Why?"
The Imperial Master said calmly, "Now you know that your father values you most. Even though he knew some of your plans, he kept them to himself. You want to be the city lord, isn't it just to get more resources? Wouldn't that be more legitimate and prevent your other brothers from making irresponsible remarks?"
The Sixteenth Prince suddenly felt somewhat distraught. He muttered to himself, "You are so calculating! It turns out that I have been the fool all along. It turns out that everything was an illusion. I have never truly been the city lord. It turns out that I have been deceiving myself all these years. I thought I was in control of the situation, but everything was fake, fake, fake!"
Seeing that he looked like a madman, the voice of the Imperial Master suddenly came into his ears.
"Don't overthink it, it's not over yet!"
The sixteenth prince suddenly came to his senses.
He glanced at the imperial teacher, silently took out the key, and opened the door of the death cell.
He walked in.
The little princess was a little anxious and wanted to follow in.
She was afraid that the Sixteenth Prince would hurt his father.
Unexpectedly, the national teacher stopped her.
"My father is still in there."
The little princess said anxiously.
"Don't worry, your royal brother isn't a bad person by nature. He won't harm the City Lord. Besides, the City Lord is actually taking this opportunity to cultivate hard here. His realm is not lower than your royal brother's. It's not that easy to harm him."
Before the little princess could say anything, Tang Xiaobao held her hand and squeezed it gently.
In an instant, her heart calmed down, she withdrew her hand and stood aside silently.
After a while, the door of the death row opened again and the old city lord walked out.
He doesn't look unkempt, and his face is completely rosy and he doesn't look like he's been tortured.
Moreover, his realm has actually reached the seventh level of the initial immortal realm.
He is still one level higher than the sixteenth prince.
The whole person looks brand new.
The sixteenth prince followed behind him, looking lonely.
"National Master, you are finally back."
The city lord actually clasped his fists and bowed to the imperial teacher.
The Imperial Master laughed heartily: "You have made considerable progress over the years. Congratulations."
"Compared to the Imperial Master, my achievements are nothing. It is truly a great blessing for Chijin City to have an Imperial Master."
The city lord is in good spirits.
"Father."
The little princess' tears were already streaming down her face, and she threw herself directly into the city lord's arms.
The city lord patted her on the back and hugged her lovingly. After comforting her for a while, the little princess finally let go, but she held his arm tightly and refused to let go, which made Tang Xiaobao feel very uncomfortable.
He has never been treated this way.
I am so jealous, envious and hateful.
Well, they are father and son, that’s all.
