Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 2724

Chapter 2724: Chapter 2724: Prison

Nelson was behind him, but even with Julius Reed shielding her, she still shivered in agony.

“Enough, go back.”

Julius Reed looked at Nelson with heartache, turned around, and pushed her back, her foot having only barely stepped inside.

The door disappeared.

There was only darkness around.

“Nanhai Shenni!”

Julius Reed shouted, but there was no response.

It was as if Nanhai Shenni had vanished too.

But Julius Reed knew Nanhai Shenni hadn’t left.

She was right here.

In the darkness, Julius Reed walked forward step by step.

His physical body was absent, and the power of the divine eye couldn’t be activated temporarily.

He could only rely on strong telekinesis to judge the direction.

He walked for an unknown duration and felt light!

A beam of light!

Dim.

Blood-red.

Upon closer inspection, it was a blood-red human head lantern hanging in the air.

In this extremely dim light, it appeared so bright amidst the black mist.

It even allowed Julius Reed to see the surroundings clearly.

As he walked in further, there were more such lanterns!

Eighteen in total!

Behind the eighteenth lantern, there was a word written.

Prison.

Julius Reed walked closer for a better look.

It was indeed a word.

‘Prison.’

The word seemed suspended in mid-air.

Then, both sides began to brighten.

But this brightening was only relative.

He walked for an unknown time.

The sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling grew louder!

Julius Reed could even see that on both sides of him, there were rows of prison cells!

Inside the cells sat people of various ages and genders.

No one knew who they were.

But upon seeing Julius Reed, they went mad, desperately banging against the bars!

Their eyes were filled with greed!

“Come! Come to me!”

Someone shouted at Julius Reed with eyes full of hunger and thirst: “Come over!”

“No! Come to me!”

A woman even stripped off her clothes, attempting to seduce Julius Reed.

But suddenly.

Everything fell silent.

These people seemed to have seen something extremely frightening and quickly retreated, curling up in corners.

Their bodies trembled uncontrollably!

After ten seconds or so.

The sound of footsteps and chains was heard.

In the dim light, a group of people could be seen walking towards here.

“Who.”

Leading the group was a person in black, whose appearance couldn’t be discerned. Upon seeing Julius Reed, he directly threw out a chain.

It wrapped around Julius Reed’s neck.

The icy-cold chill made Julius Reed shiver uncontrollably.

“Drag him out!”

The leader’s words barely fell when the black-clad followers behind him pulled out a woman from the cell.

The woman’s figure was very familiar.

Julius Reed took a good look!

It was Nanhai Shenni!

“Nanhai Shenni, you failed. According to the rules, we will now take your limbs.”

The man in black extended his hand, revealing a wooden stick.

The moment the wooden stick appeared, everyone in the surrounding cells was terrified.

Each one shivered fearfully!

“Do it!” As the leader spoke, he also pulled the chain.

Julius Reed moved along.

The man in black raised the wooden stick, ready to land it on Nanhai Shenni’s arm!

“Wait.”

Julius Reed extended his hand, seeming to understand a bit of the situation.

“I was brought in by her.”

He spoke to the leader.

“Huh?” The leader extended his hand, catching the wooden stick mid-strike.

“You say, she brought you in?” he pointed to Nanhai Shenni behind him.

“Exactly.”

Julius Reed nodded.

“Is it like that?”

The man in black looked at Nanhai Shenni.

“Yes.” Nanhai Shenni’s eyes carried surprise.

She hadn’t expected Julius Reed would truly help her.

“Do you know the consequences of entering here?” The leader in black chuckled: “You’ve been deceived, yet remain clueless. Enough, lock her back up.”

With a gesture, Nanhai Shenni was pushed back.

The surrounding prisoners were full of envy.

“Come, follow us.” The man in black turned around, tugging on the chain.

“There’s something I don’t understand.” Julius Reed began to ask.

“What is it?” The leader replied impatiently: “Whatever you have to say, say it once.”

“Can’t wait for it.” Julius Reed grasped the chain.

Very cold.

But bearable.

“What words.” The leader turned back.

“This chain’s quality is so poor, yet it captures people?” Julius Reed said lightly.

“This is meant to imprison souls…”

Crunch!

Before the leader could finish, Julius Reed had already broken the chain.

The next moment!

The broken chain whipped across the leader’s face!

Bang!

A loud bang.

The leader vanished instantly.

Only his black clothes fell to the ground.

The remaining black-clad figures were all stunned.

“Your boss left, aren’t you going to see him off?” Julius Reed swung the chain fiercely forward!

In an instant.

The black-clad figures all vanished.

Swish!

The chain dropped to the ground.

A bit icy to the touch.

And very cold.

“As I guessed, if a scapegoat is found, the penalty can be avoided?” Julius Reed walked to Nanhai Shenni’s prison cell, asking aloud.

“Yes.” Nanhai Shenni shook her head: “I know you’re powerful, but you must leave now! Nelson owes me nothing anymore; here, even you are useless, those stronger than you are equally trapped.”

“The Double Dragon Jade Pendant is too terrifying; don’t act recklessly.” Nanhai Shenni finished speaking and closed her eyes.

“Not reasonable. Normally, once a scapegoat is found, you all should be released. Otherwise, how many would this place hold.” Julius Reed finished speaking and suddenly realized the issue.

According to this logic, there should be endlessly many inside.

But it seems…

“In here, no one knows if they will die, or when they will die. If you want to know, you can only ask the heavens.” Nanhai Shenni’s tone was filled with despair.

“Alright.”

Julius Reed pursed his lips, asking again: “How do we leave?”

“Retracing steps, but leaving is extremely difficult.” Nanhai Shenni spoke for the last time before falling asleep.

“That means walking backward.” Julius Reed looked in the direction the men in black came from and proceeded to walk.

Along the way, he saw various people.

Most had fear in their eyes.

Some seemed comparatively calm.

Suddenly, an old man caught Julius Reed’s attention.

The old man was practicing swordsmanship!

However, this swordsmanship…

Nelson learned it from the Double Dragon Jade Pendant!

It’s the same swordsmanship!

“Old sir.” Julius Reed approached the prison cell.

Hearing the voice, the old man was surprised too, he put away his sword and walked five steps toward Julius Reed: “You… how did you get in?”

“I just have one question. I came here before and learned this swordsmanship, was this swordsmanship learned from you?”

Julius Reed stared at the old man.

“You must be mistaken. I’ve only passed this swordsmanship to one girl. I just hope she lives well and no longer has desires, so she might pass down the swordsmanship.” The old man smiled kindly, full of benevolence.
