CHAPTER 351: CHAPTER 351

Cen Lizhui, without a shred of tact, said, "As far as I know, even if the outside doesn’t have the Immortal Lock Stone effect, any items embedded with the Immortal Lock Stone won’t be influenced by spiritual power."

"Is there any chance, just a guess here, that Miss Chen might actually be a strongwoman?" Lin Qing stubbornly argued.

The other two men silently assessed Chen Muxue’s slim figure, then looked away and said nothing.

"Anyway...let’s just get out of here!" Lin Qing decisively stopped dwelling on it and stepped out, "Let’s hurry up and leave before the prison guards notice, those Hidden Guards from the Eastern Palace didn’t follow us in, and surely won’t be guarding outside. We need to run before the guards call for help!"

Previously, they entered the Heavenly Prison because the Hidden Guards were watching from outside which forced them in. Once inside, they were watched by prison guards, who, though currently in charge, were outmatched, yet there’s no guarantee they couldn’t call in Void Refinement Realm reinforcements.

Now, taking advantage of the fact that the prison guards hadn’t noticed, the few of them "sneakily" ran outside.

However, in such a single-path area, no matter how sneakily they ran, there was an air of brazen boldness. Moreover, a few prisoners saw them escaping and, eager for drama, shouted, "Someone’s escaping! Quick, everyone!"

Once one started shouting, everyone else joined in. This is a classic case of ’if I can’t have it good, neither can you’ mentality. Why are they still imprisoned while others could escape?

Initially, when the group entered, their demeanor already displeased the prisoners who were escorted inside, while this group walked in gracefully by themselves. Why should that be?

But when they think this way, they completely forget how they resisted when they were caught. Among these prisoners, none willingly walked into the Heavenly Prison with a calm state of mind. Without coercion, how could they be brought in?

Especially those with Immortal Lock Stones hanging at their cell doors considered themselves cultivators, believing they might have a way out, or thought they might be able to fight off the court’s men when captured, possibly even killing a few of their captors.

The prisoners’ sudden commotion and shouting had clearly alarmed the prison guards, and Cen Lizhui quickly took out some small pills and instructed the others to hold them under their tongues.

Once Chen Muxue and her companions held the pills, Cen Lizhui threw out those Purple Qi Beads that soon filled the entire Heavenly Prison with strange purple gas, forcing everyone to inhale it, unable to prepare, and then fell unconscious.

Soon, the Heavenly Prison fell into an eerie silence, with everyone but Chen Muxue’s group knocked out.

"When facing the Hidden Guards, why didn’t you use this?"

As they rushed out of the Heavenly Prison and slammed the door shut behind them, Lin Qing immediately questioned.

Before Cen Lizhui could answer, Chu Wuyi said, "From the way the purple gas spread, it’s only unavoidable in the Heavenly Prison environment where everyone got caught by it. If it were in the Eastern Palace with the Hidden Guards watching us, they could dodge it easily."

"Your cultivation isn’t high, yet you speak reason!" Lin Qing surprisingly got a bit peeved.

Come on, isn’t this making him look stupid?

"Uh...hello?" Chen Muxue was actually the first to greet the person in front.
