Chapter 232: Waiting
Zhou Yuan and the others stopped not far from a group of prison guards who were in a room.
There were quite a number of them, over 100 at least and they looked like important people.
"It seems they are in a meeting, shall we face them?" Qin Yunlan said doubtfully.
"Hmmm, this is a bit difficult. The way to the prison level 6 is through that room, we can get to level 6 more easily if we go through that way." Luo Kuei said. d
"Is there no other way?" Zhou Yuan suddenly asked.
"There is one path, but it is a bit difficult. We have to go through a room that has a lot of cameras, it will be difficult." Luo Kuei said solemnly.
"Tell me more." Zhou Yuan said.
"Well..."
.........
"So that's it, I see." Zhou Yuan nodded in understanding when he heard Luo Kuei's explanation.
Luo Kuei explained another way to get to the level 6 prison, to be honest, it was much more difficult.
They must turn around and return to the level 4 prison, then also have to face wild animals and many cameras installed along the walls and pillars.
If he chose that path, it would be more difficult and he would also need to go to the CCTV room to kill the observers.
He needed to pay attention to the small details if he wanted to make it to prison level 7 successfully. The imperial prisons were no joke, they had many guards and the prison mechanisms were just as strong.
If he was caught and made the alarm go off, it would all be over.
Even if he could survive from here, his face would definitely be found out and the empire would hunt him down.
Even though he, the Zhou family, and the Luo family were powerful, the enemy was the empire, which would be a suicidal act.
And even if there is Ji Luoxue and his father, it is still difficult. The public's image of the empire was still quite good so they had public power.
He went this far not only to free Qin Yunlan's brother or to cut off Lin Fan's chance, but because of a stone from heaven.
From the start, Lin Fan came out as the protagonist, and the most special thing was the stone from heaven.
The description of the stone that brings immortality is not a figment of the imagination, the stone does have a big secret
............
"Xiao Yuan, it seems we are stuck on a difficult choice. If we return, we have a 1 percent chance of succeeding, and if we continue forward, we will face those guards. I can feel some true qi aura there." Luo Kuei said earnestly.
Zhou Yuan came to his senses when he heard this. He frowned as he thought of something.
A few seconds later, he seemed to have made up his mind on something.
"We're not going back nor confronting those guards, we'll be waiting here." He said.
Hearing this, Qin Yunlan and Luo Kuei became confused.
They were of the same mind, waiting here would only introduce them to the guards.
So it's pointless.
"Zhou Yuan, are you sure? I don't think it's a good choice." Qin Yunlan said doubtfully.
"Just trust me." Zhou Yuan said confidently.
Then, he kicked the floor and it cracked in a perfect circle.
In the next second, the floor they were standing on suddenly floated up.
"Wha-, we're floating?!" Luo Kuei said in surprise.
Qin Yunlan was also surprised. He did not expect Zhou Yuan to be able to make things float.
Zhou Yuan just smiled. He only used the power of gravity to make this part of the floor float.
He focused his gravitational power and that part of the floor flew higher until it touched the roofs.
This place is quite large, at least a height of nearly 50 meters.
"Now we just have to wait here." Zhou Yuan said.
Qin Yunlan and Luo Kuei nodded earnestly.
At first, they doubted Zhou Yuan, but his skills were beyond reason.
............
Almost an hour passed and the meeting was over. They talk about adding cells and expanding territory because of the increasing number of criminals.
They started to disperse one by one.
But, a middle-aged man suddenly felt something was off.
He looked down and saw a crack in the floor. In addition, this floor also disappeared about 4 meters in a circle.
He crouched down and touched the ground to check.
The dust on this floor is smooth and these cuts are also symmetrical in a circle.
He narrowed his eyes, he felt that something was not right.
"I have to report this to the sergeant."
He was about to turn around but he bumped into a man in his 50s.
Seeing the man, he was a little surprised.
"Oh sergeant, what a coincidence. Actually, I wanted to meet you." He said.
"Is there anything you want to talk about?" The sergeant asked lightly.
"Well, this is something serious, did you see the cracks and an abnormal circle on the floor?" The man said.
Hearing this, the sergeant looked down and indeed saw a strange crack and circular shape.
He touched the floor and felt the cut. He could see that the piece of the floor was extremely thin, let alone this perfect circle.
But he didn't think much, he already guessed what this was.
"There must be a prisoner trying to escape. That's normal, and you know what the end is for him, right?" The sergeant said indifferently.
Hearing this, the man seemed to disapprove of the sergeant's words.
"Sir, I'm sure it's not because of the prisoner escaping, this is too abnormal! I'm sure someone broke into the imperial prison!" The man said earnestly.
Hearing this, the sergeant just smiled as if he had heard a joke.
"Ximin, I know your worry, but have you forgotten something? Which idiot would want to barge into the imperial prison? What a joke, I'm going first."
After saying that, he left the man.
The man frowned. He felt that the sergeant had changed a lot since he had been promoted.
The two of them started a career together in the imperial prison, but because his friend was more talented, he got promoted faster.
But that doesn't guarantee their consistency. He himself is more consistent and always sticks to justice.
He didn't know whether his friend still instilled a sense of justice in his heart or not.
Thinking of his fate, he sighed.
But he immediately shook his head. He needed to take these cracks and circles more seriously.
He checked the floor again and felt something strange. He looked up, and all he saw was the roof as usual.
"Damn, this can't be an ordinary crack. I have to investigate it myself!" The man said firmly.
After that, he left here.
......
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan and the others were still floating on the rooftops, only, they had already changed to another section of the roof.
Zhou Yuan realized that it would not be safe if he just stayed in one place, so he used concealment techniques so that no one would notice their presence.
He and the others had been waiting for over an hour, and the place was getting quieter, with only a few guards left to do their job.
"I think we can move now." Zhou Yuan said.
After that, he brought them flying closer to the room.
"Kill them!" He said.
After that, they jumped in and killed the remaining guards.
The guards were 12, but they were dead in less than a minute.
After all, Zhou Yuan, Qin Yunlan, and the old lion were cultivators of the true qi realm, only Luo Kuei was still in the qi flowing realm.
They regrouped, absolutely not a trace of guilt on their expressions.
Zhou Yuan, Luo Kuei, and the old lion were ruthless people, and so was Qin Yunlan.
They entered the room and looked around.
But Zhou Yuan saw a mechanism on the floor.
He touched the floor and opened the carpet. And sure enough, there is a secret door here.
"I found it." Zhou Yuan said.
Hearing this, they approached Zhou Yuan.
"Well, get in here and we'll go to a level 6 prison. It's hell, so make sure you guys can stand the fire." Luo Kuei explained.
"Fire? That is my daily bread." Zhou Yuan smirked.
Then, he opened the secret door and revealed a staircase.
"I already expected this, there are definitely people breaking into the imperial prison!"
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, making Zhou Yuan and the others turn around and saw a middle-aged man.
But their expressions were calm, there was absolutely no panic on their faces.
"Uncle Kuei, want to kill him?" Zhou Yuan asked with a smile.
"Well, my hands itch anyway." Luo Kuei said viciously as he cracked his fingers and walked over to the man.
