My daily cultivation progress is calculated.

Chapter 51 Li Wu's Past

Tonight, there are no clouds, and the moon and stars are few.

Kong Kong'er, in cell number C, suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the shackles on his hands, he chuckled and said, "These little tricks can't possibly restrain me."

In no time, all the shackles and chains on his body were removed.

Kongkong caught the black iron shackles and gently placed them on the ground.

Arriving at the cell door, they saw no guards patrolling.

After fiddling with the lock, the door opened.

They then began searching throughout the prison.

at this time.

It was at the height of the guards' enthusiasm that they all gathered in the office to place bets.

Meanwhile, Shen Yan was practicing his martial arts in an empty cell in Prison A.

Shen Yan had obtained the "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique" for a long time, but he had been unable to master it for a long time.

Tonight, he plans to seize the opportunity in the prison and break into the prison in one fell swoop.

The screams of prisoners and the shouts of jailers gambling filled the air.

Since practicing the Longevity Technique, Shen Yan's senses have become much sharper.

Many things that happened in the prison would reach his ears even if he didn't deliberately try to eavesdrop.

Just as he was fully immersed in practicing his skills, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Shen Yan seemed to hear very light footsteps, which would be difficult to detect without careful attention.

His steps were steady, unlike the footsteps of a prison guard.

It sounded like it came from a martial artist with excellent lightness skills.

"Has someone infiltrated the prison?"

He immediately stopped practicing and went to investigate.

They rushed towards the source of the sound, but the person was moving very fast and constantly changing position.

Not long after.

Shen Yan saw a shadow that was completely blended into the darkness. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Kong Kong'er.

"Wasn't he locked up in jail? He managed to escape even with those black iron shackles on him. No wonder he's a disciple of the Thief Heaven Sect!"

This was the first time Shen Yan had encountered someone who could escape from the Heavenly Prison on their own.

I wonder what Kongkong'er is looking for?

He glanced around the cell, then shook his head, somewhat disappointed.

Shen Yan followed behind him silently, concealing his aura.

Kong Kong'er searched almost the entire Class A cell, looking for someone or something, it was unclear.

finally.

He stopped in front of a cell, a look of delight on his face.

Shen Yan was very familiar with the people imprisoned in this cell.

It was Li Wu.

Li Wu was a person Shen Yan would avoid at all costs; in the entire prison, only Li Wu could frighten him.

It wasn't that I was afraid Li Wu would notice anything.

Instead, they feared the karmic consequences surrounding Li Wu, a real person who lived in the world, yet whose existence could not be traced at all.

This whole thing is terrifying.

Kongkong'er flicked a pebble with her right hand, hitting Li Wu.

He turned around and woke up, looking at Kongkong'er with a puzzled expression.

Who are you?

Kongkong whispered, "General Zhang, I am the apprentice of Baili Zhaixing, the 'Master Thief,' and I've come to save you."

"General Zhang?! You've mistaken me for someone else! Get out of here!"

After saying that, Li Wu turned around without even looking up.

Seeing that she had failed to persuade him, Kongkong'er spoke again: "Li Wu's real name is Zhang Wu. He was originally a military officer under the Prince of Zhenbei. He was only twenty years old when he was already a third-rank official. His future is limitless."

"After an unexpected encounter with Princess Anping, the daughter of the current emperor, Zhang Wu gave up his promising future to marry into the imperial family and changed his surname to Li. From then on, the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer had Zhang Wu, the military commander, but had Li Wu, the son-in-law of Princess Anping."

Shen Yan, hiding in the shadows, was deeply shocked upon hearing their words.

"So this is what Li Wu's background is like. I had only heard that he was a useless son-in-law, but I didn't expect that he was originally a talented young man. It's just a pity that he had to become a live-in son-in-law."

He secretly guessed that something must have happened after he became the prince consort.

"Could it be that he's having a mistress at home while having affairs on the side?"

Before Shen Yan could think further, Kong Kong'er saw that he remained unmoved and continued speaking.

"The general and the princess were deeply in love. After their marriage, the general lived in Bianjing, inseparable. Unfortunately, fate is unpredictable. General Zhang's appearance remained unchanged for ten years. This eventually aroused Emperor Xuanwu's suspicion, and your cultivation of the 'Longevity Formula' was exposed. Emperor Xuanwu asked you for guidance on the cultivation method, and you couldn't refuse. Unfortunately, Emperor Xuanwu hadn't made any progress for several years, and he assumed you were hiding something..."

Li Wu whirled around and yelled at Kong Kong'er, "Enough!"

The roar suddenly rang out in the dead of night, instantly waking up the prisoners in the surrounding cells.

Seeing this, Kongkong'er knew that tonight's plan was doomed to fail and had no choice but to give up.

He turned to run away.

Shen Yan had been preparing for a long time and appeared to subdue him.

Kongkong'er looked at Shen Yan with a horrified expression, not understanding where he came from.

The jailer on duty heard the commotion and rushed over.

Seeing that Shen Yan had already caught the criminal, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss Shen, it's good that you're here tonight!"

Shen Yan didn't say much, as if he hadn't heard anything Kong Kong'er had just mentioned.

"This prisoner must have lost his mind. He escaped from prison and ended up in cell A. I happened to be patrolling the cells when I caught him."

The jailers showered him with praise, and the fact that they had run away empty-handed wasn't a big problem.

If something were to happen to the prisoners in cell A, that would be truly fatal.

Although these convicted officials were imprisoned, it was not difficult for them to kill one or two prison guards.

Kongkong'er's expression shifted between light and dark, her heart pounding with anxiety, wondering if Shen Yan had heard the conversation just now.

"How can this jailer's skills be so strange? I couldn't even see where he came from just now."

Kongkong'er did not struggle, as if he had resigned himself to his fate, and let the jailer put shackles on him.

After this escape, the guards of Prison No. 3 dared not be careless.

They added several more locks and then had someone seal his meridians.

Sun Fugui looked at Kongkong'er in the cell, who had been subjected to seven or eight restraint measures, and said with a smile:

"Let's see how you run this time!"

After the jailer left, Kongkong'er revealed a contemptuous smile.

He thought to himself, "That's it?! They think they can trap my Heaven Stealing Sect disciples?"

The next morning.

Upon seeing the empty cell, Sun Fugui said with a hateful expression.

"If he gets caught again, I'll break his legs and see how he runs away then."

When the prisoner escaped, Sun Fugui could only report it to Ma Danian.

He had just arrived at the prison that morning when he heard this bad news.

Ma Danian, who had been in a fairly good mood, suddenly turned gloomy.

"Were you gambling again last night?!"

"No, that's not true. I just played a couple of rounds; it doesn't count as gambling."

"You're hopeless! Just wait to die!!"

"Horse Head, save me! You have to help me this time."

Upon hearing Ma Danian's words, Sun Fugui was so frightened that he almost wet his pants and could only beg Ma Danian for help.

Little did they know that Ma Danian was also in a dilemma at that moment.

The prisoner has escaped, and this should be reported to the prison magistrate.

However, the Ministry of Justice has yet to appoint a prison warden.

So much so that Ma Danian didn't know what to do.

The only thing I can do is go to Shen Yan and ask him what to do.

Upon arriving at cell number A, they found no trace of Shen Yan.

Let's keep this a secret for now; Kongkong'er won't be locked up for long anyway.

All we can do is pray that no one interrogates him during this time.
