“What a strange power!” John felt an eerie force in the air, suppressing his cultivation.
The The Heaven prison in a high-level city is much more secure than the one in a low-level city. Even if the The Heaven criminals held here managed to recover their strength, they would likely still be unable to escape.
However, John’s Chaos Force was unaffected, meaning he could still use Creation and Destruction here to destroy the space around him.
“Master, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I brought you trouble.” Debbie looked at him with a guilt- ridden expression.
She knew that it was her identity being exposed that had attracted Golden Tiger.
“It’s not your fault.” John spoke softly. If he hadn’t given up resistance willingly, that Golden Tiger might not have been his match.
“Old man, is that you?” A weak female voice echoed from the dark, damp cave.
“Tracy?” John exclaimed, surprised and overjoyed.
In the nearby prison, a crystal ball shimmered with light, and through the starlike dust, he saw a pale and disheveled young woman – it was Tracy.
He felt a pang of heartache; she must have endured a great deal of suffering during these months of imprisonment.
The crystal ball was devouring her Star Dust power.
A cold killing intent surged within him.
“Old man, it really is you!” Tracy struggled to move toward the cell door, her face filled with both joy and worry. “Old man, why are you here too?”
“I came here voluntarily. What about Sini?” John didn’t see Sini anywhere. He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked.
“Sini’s here too?” Tracy asked in surprise, shaking her head weakly. “I haven’t seen her. There’s no news about Lincoln either.”
Lincoln had been released after being imprisoned here for a few days and was given an important task.
It seemed that the people of this world placed great importance on those who mastered the elemental law of light.
“Not here?” John furrowed his brow.
He had already witnessed Golden Tiger’s methods. Golden Tiger City, along with the surrounding mountains and forests, were all part of his World-in-Hand – everything was under his control.
If Sini had been exposed, she would have had no chance of escaping.
From the confrontation with Golden Tiger earlier, he was certain that the enemy knew about Sini’s existence by now.
Sini was definitely in their hands!
He asked, “What about Lincoln? Besides you, how many of my people are here?”
He suspected Lincoln might have some information.
“Lincoln only comes at night to collect the crystal balls. Besides me, there are Thunder Fireworks, Beelzebub, and several Lord Gods from the Nature Clan and Underworld Clan. There are a total of thirteen people.”
“All the ones imprisoned here are Lord God-level experts?” John asked, surprised.
He realized that the cities in the Realm of Chaos had strict hierarchical structures, and the level of strength of the imprisoned individuals varied greatly.
In high-level cities, they imprisoned Lord God-level experts. In mid-level cities, they held upper-tier gods and the peak of upper-tier gods. In low-level cities, they imprisoned mid- tier gods and weaker beings.
“How has Lincoln treated you?” His voice turned cold.
Tracy understood his concern and spoke up, “Old man, that guy has been taking care of us. He hasn’t betrayed us. If it weren’t for Lincoln, many of us would have probably been tortured to death by now.”
“That’s good.” John felt a little relieved. “You stay here for a bit. When Lincoln arrives, I’ll understand the situation and then rescue you.”
“Old man, you can get out?” Tracy asked in surprise. By the time she woke up, she had already been imprisoned in this cell. Her powers were sealed, and she was almost like a useless person, completely at the mercy of others.
John nodded. He was concerned that this prison might also be under Golden Tiger’s
surveillance, so he didn’t want to reveal too much.
…
Golden Tiger City, City Lord’s Manor.
Golden Tiger’s face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Some time ago, he had captured a The Heaven enforcer, and now, today, he had caught another one.
But there was some confusion in his mind.
The Heaven enforcers were the most loyal subordinates of The Heaven. They would never betray The Heaven, so they shouldn’t be locked up here.
“Could they be from two masterless worlds?” His eyes gleamed as he whispered to himself.
He didn’t know that John and Sini came from the same world.
“If I could refine a masterless world…” His thoughts lingered, and he couldn’t help but swallow, his expression becoming feverishly intense.
But then a hint of dejection crossed his face.
Although he was a The Overseer, his strength was still too weak to refine a masterless world.
“Hmm?” At that moment, his brow furrowed as a communication jade appeared in his hand, flickering with light.
“Forest King? Why is he contacting me?” Golden Tiger frowned, his expression cautious. He took a deep breath and activated the jade communication.
“Lord,” he spoke respectfully into the jade.
“You’ve captured a The Heaven enforcer?” A stern, deep voice came from the jade.
Golden Tiger’s expression changed slightly.
This was something he had done in complete secrecy-how had Forest King found out?
“Speak!” The commanding voice came again.
Golden Tiger swallowed nervously, quickly responding, “Lord, this is true. But I don’t know
how you found out.”
“Hmph!” A cold snort echoed, and the voice continued, “Hand over the woman to me. You’ve already acquired enough of the power of the laws.”
The woman?
Golden Tiger’s gaze shifted. It wasn’t the one he had captured today, but rather the The Heaven enforcer who wielded the Power of the Nine Nether that he had captured some time
ago.
However, he had been extremely secretive about this, and very few knew about it, other than
him.
A sense of reluctance stirred in his heart. After a brief hesitation, he cautiously replied, “Master, the The Heaven enforcer isn’t a criminal, and her abilities have not been sealed. My men cannot escort her, and I am unable to leave.”
There was a long silence from the other side. Golden Tiger’s heart raced with unease.
After a while, the voice returned. “I will send Butcher personally to escort her.” “Butcher, sir!” Golden Tiger blurted, swallowing nervously, his eyes betraying his fear.
He couldn’t help but recall the torment and destruction he had endured at Butcher’s hands
previously.
“Hmph!” A cold snort came through again. “Golden Tiger, everything you have is a gift from me. If you dare to have any disloyalty…”
Golden Tiger froze in fear and immediately dropped to his knees, trembling. “Rest assured, my lord, I have no ill intentions. Once Butcher arrives, I will cooperate and hand over the
woman to you.”
“Good.” The voice responded indifferently, and the jade stone lost its glow.
Golden Tiger sighed in relief, slumping to the ground, and absentmindedly touched his cheek.
Beneath the dense fur of his tiger head, the faint outline of a brand could be seen on his forehead. He had once been a The Heaven criminal himself.
Forest King wouldn’t have sent Butcher here without reason. It seemed that everything Golden Tiger had done during his time in Golden Tiger City had already been uncovered by
him.
I have a traitor among my ranks! Golden Tiger rose from the ground, his expression turning
icy cold. Only three of the deputy city lords knew about his capture of Sini.
They were his most trusted subordinates, and he had even saved their lives. To think that one
of them had betrayed him.
“Heh, it seems you all covet my position as City Lord.” His face darkened with a terrifying
scowl, and suspicions began to form in his mind.
However, Butcher was about to arrive, and he couldn’t act rashly. He could only let this matter slide for a few more days and allow the traitor to grow even more arrogant. Fortunately, the The Heaven enforcer he had captured earlier had been directly thrown into
The Heaven prison, where no one could probe. His subordinates would not suspect anything
either.
“Once Butcher is gone, I’ll personally interrogate that person…” His voice was cold, and he
took a deep breath, his expression returning to normal.
…
Before he knew it, night had fallen.
In The Heaven prison, angry curses echoed as Lincoln led a group of subordinates to collect
the crystal
balls.
These crystal balls had all Devoured powerful The power of laws.
“Alright, I’ll collect the rest myself. You all can leave now,” Lincoln said coldly, dismissing
his subordinates as he reached the deepest part of the prison.
“Yes, sir.” The subordinates bowed respectfully, secured the crystal balls, and retreated.
It seemed that Lincoln held a high status in Golden Tiger City.
“Lord Star Dust, I’ve brought you some magic cores.” Once he was sure his subordinates had left, Lincoln hurried over to Tracy’s cell and handed her a pile of magic cores.
For the past few days, he had been delivering large amounts of magic cores to help Tracy
recover her strength.
Thanks to these magic cores, Tracy hadn’t suffered significant damage.
“Thank you,” she said weakly, then added, “Someone wants to see you.”
She pointed to a nearby cage.
“See me?” Lincoln asked in confusion, then turned and widened his eyes in shock as he saw
John. His face slightly changed.
“My lord, you-how are you here?” He rushed to the cell, his face panicked as he attempted to
break open the door.
“Enough,” John quickly stopped him, lowering his voice as he asked, “Is this place being
monitored by Golden Tiger?”
Lincoln shook his head. “Don’t worry, my lord. The Heaven prison is independent. No force
can probe into it.”
“Good.” John finally relaxed.
“My lord, I’ll let you out,” Lincoln said, pulling out a set of keys and preparing to unlock the
cell door.
“No need,” John stopped him again. “This cell can’t hold me. I came here voluntarily. I need
to ask you some questions.”
Lincoln was surprised but didn’t doubt John’s strength.
“Please ask, my lord,” he said respectfully.
John leaned against the door and spoke, “Have you seen Sini?” Lincoln shook his head. “Two months ago, my lord, I sensed the Power of the Nine Nether. I suspected it was Lord Sini, but when I went to investigate, she had already vanished.” “Could she be in Golden Tiger’s hands?” John asked, already certain that Sini had fallen into
Golden Tiger’s grasp.
“This?” Lincoln hesitated and shook his head. “I’m not sure. My lord, I’ll try to investigate.”
“Mm.” John had no choice but to entrust it to him. Tracy was safe now, and once he found Sini, he was prepared to act.
“My lord, there’s one more thing.” Lincoln glanced around and noticed the two women
behind John, seemingly hesitant to speak.
When his gaze lingered on Debbie and he noticed she was a goddess, his wariness
immediately increased.
John noticed the suspicion in his eyes and reassured him, “It’s fine, they are both my people.”
