Chapter 1355 - 1355: Located

The old man disappeared into thin air. 

"Sigh, if that's the case, then so be it. I can pass the first trial at least!" Long Chen declared as he brought his King's Sword and prepared to face the horde of enemies. 

"Can I at least use my laws in this place?" Curious, he tried testing his laws. 

His figure flickered as he appeared behind the statue. "Perfect! Finally, I'm not handicapped here! Now we shall have some fun." 

After a long time, he was able to use his laws. Even though it had only been a few days, for him, it was as if decades had passed. He was missing his laws soo badly. Fortunately, he could use them now. 

He placed the tip of the sword on the ground, letting the hilt rest against his knees. He cracked his knuckles. 

He raised the sword again, at the same time also bringing out another sword. 

The golden sword that had come out started circling around him, excited. After a long time, he felt the need to use the Spirit Sword that was upgraded by his father in law. 

Since he expected many beasts, having a sword that could fight on its own was great help. 

Long Chen was prepared for the wave of enemies. He knew that all the enemies were probably going to be fake, but he was curious if they were going to be beasts or cultivators. 

He soon got the answer to his question as he saw five men in the distance. The men were walking towards him in calm steps. Each of the five men had a different weapon in their hand. And they all had different clothes as well. 

One of the five was holding a silver spear. The second had a heavy sword. The third held a knife in each of his hands. The fourth was holding a light Sword, and lastly, the fifth man was holding a massive hammer. 

"Humans it is," Long Chen muttered. Instead of letting the enemies get to him, he flew towards the enemies instead, trying to fight as far as he could from the statue. 

Boom~

With a booming sound, a golden door opened. A man barged inside the Royal Hall of the Heavenly Emperor. 

The Heavenly Emperor was immersed in a meeting with his ministers when he saw the General barge in. 

"Yes?" He asked grimly. 

"Your Majesty, there's bad news. The barrier of the First Heavenly Prison is broken. Most of the Prisoners had managed to escape. 

The rest are dead or captured. Also, one Heavenly Warrior was found unconscious on the site. He had woken up," the Heavenly General explained.

"The barrier we cast is broken? That's fascinating. Do we know who did it?" The Heavenly Emperor asked. "Is it the work of the Demons? Did they enter without letting us find out? It shouldn't be possible though?'

"It wasn't a Demon, from what we understand. It's the work of... I think it would be better if you heard it from the Heavenly Warrior who saw the culprit instead."

"Fine. Where is he?" The Heavenly Emperor asked. "Send him here. Also, send more Heavenly Warrior to the prison to safeguard it. And put more men to capture the prisoners that escaped. I want all of them back in their cell in two days!"

'I've already sent the men to work. Also, the Heavenly Warrior is right outside!' the General stated. He turned to the gate and called out. "You can come in."

The Heavenly Warrior that had clashed with Zhu Chang stepped inside. There were some wounds on his body, but he was mostly safe by now. He wasn't killed by Zhu Chang since that was going to get him scolded a lot by his father. 

A little mess in the Heavenly Realm was fine, but if he killed a Heavenly Warrior left and right, it was bad for himself. Moreover, even if they later found out that it was him, he could at least claim that he was considerate and left most of the people alive here. 

"My Lord!" The Heavenly Warrior went on his knees in respect to the Emperor.

"What did you see? Who was behind it? Was it a demon?"

"It wasn't a Demon, Your Majesty. It was a human. Or at least he looked like one. He didn't have any features of the humans. He had deep green eyes and..."

The Warrior started describing the features of Zhu Chang, even mentioning the spear. 

"And he had two beasts with him. One was a Weak Snake Monarch, and the other was a Blood Dragon. Moreover, he was being escorted by another Heavenly Warrior! That person was probably the one who led him there in the first place!"

"One of us was helping him? Interesting," the Emperor looked at the General.  "Find that Warrior and bring him to us! We will personally execute the traitor!"

"We need to find that green-eyed guy first! That traitor is with him," The General said. "Our men are already searching for them."

"Why did he break the barrier of the prison? Do you know that? If he wanted to hurt the Warriors, why did he leave you alive? Was he there to let the prisoners escape?"

"Some enmity with us? Even then, for someone to be able to break the barrier, that person probably has a peak grade weapon. But a Weapon in the shape of a spear? We can't think of anyone." The Emperor rubbed his chin. 

"Your Majesty, you don't need to guess. I know why they were there."

"Why?"

"They were there to let some Long Chen escape from the prison, but they left after knowing that Long Chen wasn't there."

"Long Chen? Who is he? Do you know?" The Emperor asked the General. 

"I don't know either. I remember the names of all powerful prisoners, but that Long Chen doesn't appear to be one of them. He must be one caught by our men for petty crimes."

"Still, for someone who was captured by ordinary warriors and sent to the prison, doesn't have some. High profile friends? It doesn't matter. We would love to meet the man who thinks he can do anything in our Empire! Prepare for departure!"

"Departure to where?" The General asked. 

"To the second Heavenly Prison. Since he is after Long Chen and he seems to be sure that the guy is in one of the Heavenly Prison, he would go to the second one as well."

"Moreover, the traitor would be there with him.. We would hunt two beasts with one arrow!" The Emperor declared, standing up.
