Chapter 229: The lion from the west
"So what are we going to do?"
Seeing how tight the imperial prison area was, Qin Yunlan became doubtful. She once barged in and was eventually defeated by the prison thugs.
She still couldn't believe the guard was so strong, beyond her expectations.
"I'm sure you've prepared this, right?" Qin Yunlan asked curiously.
"Of course, not." Zhou Yuan smiled.
"What? Are you serious?" Qin Yunlan couldn't believe this.
She was still impressed by Zhou Yuan's previous self-confidence. But now, she couldn't tell if he was faking it or pure confidence.
"So, did I trust the wrong person?" Ji Luoxue sighed.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan actually smiled.
"You don't need to worry about that. I have everything planned out." Zhou Yuan said confidently.
"Then, how are you going to free my brother?" Qin Yunlan asked resignedly.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan did not reply and only smiled as he walked forward.
He closed his eyes and a few seconds later, a clone of himself appeared beside him.
"What? A clone?"
Qin Yunlan was shocked when he saw this. Clone is a high-level technique, usually measured by the clone's resemblance to the user.
But looking at that clone, it was very similar to Zhou Yuan, there wasn't even a noticeable difference.
She began to believe Zhou Yuan's words.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan had no intention of just sending the clone away, his left hand emitted dark energy like a blazing fire, then he threw it at his clone.
The clone was immediately enveloped in dark energy, causing him to be covered in it and look like a shadow.
Not only that, but his body was also surrounded by dark energy that was blazing like a rag, making him look hideous.
"Perfect." Zhou Yuan smiled in satisfaction.
Then, the clone jumped and flew toward the imperial prison.
Zhou Yuan watched this calmly as he crossed his arms.
"Do you want to spy on the imperial prison with it?" Qin Yunlan stood beside Zhou Yuan and asked lightly.
"Correct." Zhou Yuan nodded and smiled.
Qin Yunlan nodded when she heard this.
Now her trust in Zhou Yuan has greatly increased.
...............
Meanwhile, the clone flew over the imperial prison area as he scanned the area.
He used the aura concealment technique through Zhou Yuan.
You could say Zhou Yuan was the one controlling his clone. So he could also see what his clone saw.
It was a very large area, at least, the prison area was 30 kilometers in the middle of the sea.
Unsurprisingly, Huaxia had a lot of criminals and those here were top-level criminals who had committed unforgivable crimes.
Most of them were cultivators, so it was necessary to have a heavy guard watching over them 24 hours a day.
You could say it's almost impossible to escape from this prison.
However, Zhou Yuan, who had future memories, naturally knew where the gap was.
In the original plot, Qin Yunlan's brother would be rescued by Lin Fan two days before he was to be executed.
It should be in a few more weeks.
.............
The clone looked around and scanned where the prison guards were.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuan had the photographic memory he had obtained after killing Xie Zhenjie, so he could remember all the loopholes and guards of the prison.
In his eyes, there was a person wearing a guard set outfit complete with iron armor and carrying a halberd.
It is the most powerful main gatekeeper.
The clone didn't stop there, he flew even faster around the imperial prison area.
Even though it flew so fast, his eyes scanned the entire area.
............
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan smiled smugly, he already knew and remembered those prison guards.
"Now, let's go." Zhou Yuan grinned and stepped forward.
"Wait."
But his shoulders were suddenly grabbed by Qin Yunlan.
Zhou Yuan turned around, "What's wrong?"
"Are we going into action now?" Qin Yunlan asked to confirm.
"Of course." Zhou Yuan nodded.
"Okay then, I think I can do something." Qin Yunlan said.
Then, she held Zhou Yuan's neck and brought her face close to Zhou Yuan's, and her forehead touched Zhou Yuan's.
Qin Yunlan closed her eyes and focused.
Zhou Yuan was a little surprised when he saw this, he didn't think Qin Yunlan would do such indecent things to him.
And sure enough, he suddenly couldn't move and his eyes glowed with whiteness.
...........
Meanwhile, the clone suddenly disappeared, replaced by Zhou Yuan and Qin Yunlan.
Qin Yunlan let go of the hand that was hugging Zhou Yuan's neck. Her cheeks were slightly flushed.
"I do this for my technique."
"I know." Zhou Yuan smiled.
Then, he looked forward and his expression was optimistic.
"Now, let's go free your brother." Zhou Yuan grinned.
............
Currently, he is in prison level 3 which is in the dungeon.
The imperial prison has 7 levels and each level has difficulty for the prisoners.
Like in level 3, there will be an executioner who will beat the prisoners 3 times a week.
"Use aura concealment technique." Zhou Yuan said lightly.
"I know." Qin Yunlan nodded.
"Good, now, Follow me."
Zhou Yuan ran down the prison passage.
To the right and left are prison cells containing prisoners.
But no one noticed them.
After running for 1 minute, they were faced with three different paths.
"So, where are we going? One mistake and we're dead." Qin Yunlan said earnestly.
"Don't worry, I know..."
Zhou Yuan suddenly stopped when he realized something. He looked to the side and saw an old man looking at him and grinning.
Zhou Yuan approached the old man calmly.
"What do you want, old man?" Zhou Yuan frowned.
"Release me from this prison and you will not regret it." The old man said with a grin.
"What's in it for me?" Zhou Yuan asked indifferently as he crossed his arms.
"I'll be your follower. Don't look down on me, even though I'm old, I used to be the lion of the west." The old man said confidently.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan was slightly surprised.
The lion of the west, he had heard that name before.
Zhou Yuan stroked his chin as he memorized the name.
A few seconds later, he suddenly remembered something.
"Ah, I know who you are."
"Haha, if that's the case, you must know my prowess..."
"You are a loser who ran from the war in Shina, right?"
Zhou Yuan's words made the old man gloomy.
"I don't know where you got that information. But I can say that you are wrong." The old man said.
"Isn't that your name? Loser from the west?" Zhou Yuan grinned and said disdainfully.
"You brat!"
The old man became angry and annoyed when he heard Zhou Yuan's words.
He tried to grab Zhou Yuan by the collar but he didn't reach it.
"What? Want to beat me up? Try it if you can." Zhou Yuan grinned as he crossed his arms.
"You!"
The old man grew even angrier when he heard this.
The veins on his forehead constricted and his anger could be felt by Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan smiled disdainfully, he was not afraid of this old man at all.
Of course, he had heard of the lion from the west, he had heard the story from one of his servants when he was a child.
"Zhou Yuan, let's ignore him, we have to save my brother." Qin Yunlan suddenly held Zhou Yuan's hand and said.
"You're right." Zhou Yuan nodded.
"Let's get out of here."
After that, he turned around and was about to leave here.
"Is it that boy?" The old man suddenly said.
Hearing this, Qin Yunlan stopped and turned to look at the old man.
"What do you mean?" She frowned.
"That boy, his case was killing an imperial soldier and would be sentenced to death. If I remember, he was in a level 7 dungeon." The old man said with a grin.
"You know about my brother?" Qin Yunlan asked impatiently.
"So he's your brother, huh? Well, I've been in prison for 50 years, I know a lot about this prison." the old man said.
Hearing this, Qin Yunlan suddenly looked at Zhou Yuan with a pitiful expression.
Zhou Yuan sighed, "Do you think this old man will be of any use? Don't listen to what he says."
"Young man, you may underestimate me, but..."
The old man grinned as he raised his hand lightly.
It can be seen that there is an orange flame in his hand.
"Don't underestimate a true qi realm cultivator." The old man grinned.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan raised one of his eyebrows.
"So you're going to help us? How are you going to contribute?" Zhou Yuan asked indifferently.
"I'm sure you must have prepared everything for this. However, level 7 is something different, there are some things you can't ignore." The old man said solemnly.
Zhou Yuan nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, I trust you." Zhou Yuan said.
"Good." The old man grinned.
After that, Zhou Yuan waved his hand and the dark energy emitted from his hand burned the prison iron.
The old man came out of the prison and grinned.
"After 50 years, I'm finally free."
However, he immediately fell to the ground and was suppressed by an extremely strong aura.
"Don't think you can just get away with it."
