Chapter 4141: Heavenly Prison
Long Yan also followed up, saying, "That's right! Killing a Four Grade Sacred Dragon of our Dragon Clan and stealing its Dragon Pearl—if word of that gets out, where will our Dragon Clan's Face be?"
I just don't understand how Dragon Emperor can tolerate such a major incident."
"Shh! You two, quiet down!"
Long Che dismissed all the servants around them before saying, "Dragon Emperor must have his own plans. What he values is probably not that Ye boy, but the Sky Fox Clan he's hiding."
After he finished speaking, Long Yan angrily said, "That's what I don't understand either. We have so many beautiful women in our Dragon Clan, so why did Dragon Emperor set his sights on that Little girl from the Heavenly Fox Clan?
Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?"
"Dragon Emperor is a great lord, not someone easily swayed by lust."
Long Che said, "According to my guess, Dragon Emperor must have other plans."
Ye Bufan's heart stirred. Could it be that there was another hidden reason for Long Ao's interest in Xiao Bai?
Long Geng's memory was blank regarding this matter. He asked, "Second Brother, what do you mean by that? I feel like Dragon Emperor was simply enchanted by that little fox spirit."
Long Che shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, but I feel it's not that simple."
"Forget it, let's not talk about that woman."
Ye Bufan clinked glasses with the two of them, then said, "Dragon Emperor is sometimes too cautious. To deal with that Ye boy, couldn't he just send an expert directly?
For example, you and I, brothers, if one of us made a move, wouldn't it be a piece of cake? Why make it so troublesome?
And even go to the Lower Heaven Region to capture those Little girl, wouldn't that damage our Dragon Clan's Face?"
He intentionally steered the conversation in this direction to gather as much information as possible.
Long Che said, "This is understandable. After all, that Ye boy is in Human Race territory.
If we were to dispatch too many powerful individuals, it might provoke a large-scale war with the Human Race, and we might not even catch him. That's clearly not what our Dragon Clan wants."
"Second Brother speaks wisely."
Ye Bufan nodded, and seemingly casually asked, "By the way, where are those captured Human Race members being held? I haven't seen them."
This was the question he most wanted to ask. Once he had the exact location, he could figure out a way to rescue them.
Long Che shook his head, "I'm not sure about that either. Big Brother is in charge of all that."
Long Yan said indifferently, "Does that even need asking? Dragon Emperor places great importance on those Human Race members, and since they haven't been seen in the Dragon Palace, they must be held in the Heavenly Prison."
Ye Bufan secretly noted this down. According to Long Geng's memory, he was quite familiar with the Dragon Clan's Heavenly Prison.
That place was heavily guarded, and all the guards were personally appointed by Dragon Emperor. Even the four Dragon Kings couldn't enter casually.
There was a saying in the Dragon Clan: once you entered the Heavenly Prison, no one could come out alive.
Suppressing the anger and anxiety in his heart, Ye Bufan continued, "Our Dragon Clan is so powerful, would that Ye boy dare to come?
I don't think he would. We'll probably still have to go to Human Race territory to capture him then."
Long Che said, "That's hard to say. I heard that boy is a man of deep affection. Since his women and daughters have been captured this time, there's a high probability he'll come."
Ye Bufan's heart sank. It seemed his guess was not far off; it wasn't just Xiao Yezi who was captured, but also Su Ruyue and others.
With this information, he didn't ask any more questions, fearing that too many might arouse suspicion from the two of them.
He continued to chat casually with them, his mind rapidly spinning, thinking about how he should rescue them.
After drinking, he left the Ice Dragon King's mansion, his mind already made up.
Returning to his mansion, he called over the Steward and instructed that no one, including all the royal concubines, was allowed to enter his room. Only then did he return to his bedroom.
Shortly after he entered the door, a figure suddenly appeared in a corner outside the mansion where he had previously stopped.
It was none other than the Dao Body he had just conjured.
Rescuing people from the Heavenly Prison was a very risky endeavor.
Appearing as his true self would not only easily expose his identity but also make him vulnerable to Dragon Emperor using the hostages as leverage, so using the Dao Body was most suitable.
Ye Bufan Cultivates the Chaos Cultivation Technique, and his Dao Body could easily conceal its Qi. He slowly made his way towards the Heavenly Prison.
In the entire Dragon Domain, if there was one place with the strictest security, it was the Heavenly Prison.
Calling it a fortress would be no exaggeration. The ground floor, though seemingly ordinary, was cast from pure steel, and there were seven underground levels, also made of fine steel.
The entire Heavenly Prison had only one entrance and exit, and just in front of the main gate, twelve Dragon Guards stood watch.
These individuals were all selected from Dragon Emperor's personal bodyguards, and the weakest among them were comparable to Immortal Venerable experts of the Human Race.
At this moment, in front of the Heavenly Prison's main gate, the twelve guards had solemn expressions, their gazes vigilantly sweeping the surroundings.
It was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet, not a single soul in sight.
"Hmm!"
Just then, a muffled grunt suddenly came from a corner not far away.
Although the sound was not loud, those guarding the gate were all powerful individuals, and everyone heard it clearly, their gazes turning in unison.
If a sound occurred elsewhere, it wouldn't be a big deal, but this was the heavily guarded Heavenly Prison. In the dead of night, how could there be anyone?
However, due to the angle, nothing could be seen from their position.
The guard captain gestured to the guard behind him, "Go and check it out."
There were twelve of them in total, so sending one out was nothing. Such situations had occurred before.
"Yes!"
The man nodded, then cautiously walked towards the corner.
This guard's strength was also formidable, comparable to an Immortal Reverent Peak expert.
Turning the corner, his figure disappeared from the sight of the other guards. He looked forward, but it was empty; there was nothing there.
Just as he was utterly puzzled, he suddenly suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head, and his entire body lost consciousness.
It was the Dao Body that made the move. Everything was according to plan; the previous disturbance was caused by him.
Now, he acted swiftly and decisively, knocking the guard unconscious, then putting the guard's clothes on himself, including the Storage Ring and waist token, before throwing the guard into the Dragon Palace.
Meanwhile, Ye Bufan, inside the bedroom, was waiting for this very moment. He flashed into the Dragon Palace.
He immediately performed the Soul Searching Technique, reading all of the guard's memories, then transmitted them to his Dao Body, before returning to his room.
Everything sounded complicated, but in reality, it was all completed within a few breaths.
The Dao Body retreated from the corner, cursing, "Boss, there's no one there. I don't know which bastard caused that commotion."
"If there's no one, then forget it. Come back. We'll be changing shifts in another hour."
The guard captain didn't take it too seriously. After all, their duty was to guard the Heavenly Prison; what happened outside was not very relevant.
The reason he sent someone to investigate was also out of fear that it might pose a threat to the Heavenly Prison.
At this moment, the Dao Body had completely changed into the guard's clothes, and his appearance was disguised identically, not raising any suspicion. Approximately an hour later, the guard post rotated, and these individuals retreated into the Heavenly Prison to rest, while another twelve individuals took over the shift.
