The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 328

Chapter 329: Wan’er, A Sense of Despair

The dark dungeon was filled with eerie spirits, with only a few dim oil lamps providing meager light.

The narrow corridor had fences of Xuan Han fine iron on both sides, and each prison cell was equipped with restrictions that suppressed spiritual energy and sealed meridians.

Su Wan’er’s hair was messy. She leaned against the wall of her small cell, looking up at the corner of the room, carefully observing two spiders making baby spiders on a web.

“Hey~”

“…”

“Hey~ Beautiful.”

A man of some age in the opposite cell grabbed the bars and smiled at Su Wan’er.

Su Wan’er didn’t want to pay attention, but she was truly bored, and moreover, he called her “beautiful.” She immediately glanced over and asked, “Why are you calling me, this girl?”

“It’s just… beautiful, you’ve been in for more than half a month, and you haven’t said a word. I was worried you might do something rash and commit suicide.”

Su Wan’er rolled her eyes at him and looked down at him from a superior height, saying:

“Heh… do you think I’m like you?”

“Roar~” The man raised his eyebrows slightly, “Doesn’t beautiful know what kind of place this is?”

“What place? The Xing Tian Division’s dungeon.”

“Then that’s incorrect.” The man laughed heartily and said, “I’ve lived here for a full sixty years. I can tell beautiful that once you enter here, don’t expect anyone to come and get you out.”

“Ah?”

“Is beautiful pretending to be foolish or actually foolish?”

The man shook his head and sighed, speaking cheerfully:

“Let me put it this way, if someone were to pick you up… First, two Xing Tian Division disciples would arrive. They would ask if you were hungry. If you said you were hungry, they would bring you a feast of meat and fish. After you’ve eaten your fill and are happy, they would ask you to follow them out and put a hood over your head…”

“…”

“You would feel yourself being led onto the street, with the clamor of cultivators in Tianan City all around you. After walking about two to three hundred steps, the Xing Tian Division disciple leading you would stop, and another person would take you into a small room. At this time, someone would come to remove your hood, take a look, nod without a word, and then put it back on…”

“…”

“Next, two people would grab your shoulders and tie you to a pillar, with the discussions of the cultivators in front of you, and finally…”

Su Wan’er swallowed her saliva and asked, “Finally?”

Suddenly, the man raised his voice, causing the oil lamps in the corridor to flicker violently:

“Bang!!” A golden feather arrow would pierce your chest. You would feel an unbearable piercing pain, wanting to scream but being unable to make a sound. The things you’ve done in your life would replay in your mind. You would remember your friends, your family, your throat would fill with a taste of rust, and then your consciousness would begin to blur…

“You will have no tombstone, nor a coffin. Vultures in the forest will peck at your eyeballs, maggots will burrow into your body through every opening, turning your flesh and blood into their nourishment from the inside out. Spiders will build nests in your stomach, and mountain wolves will carry away your meatiest thighs… leaving only a pile of white bones, and then…”

Hearing this, Su Wan’er couldn’t help but shiver. She quickly grabbed a piece of broken stone by her buttocks and hurled it directly at the man’s forehead.

Bang—

The stone accurately landed on the center of the man’s forehead, causing his head to snap back.

Blood oozed from his forehead, flowing down his nose and into his lips, but the man began to laugh maniacally:

“Ah hahaha— Hahaha—”

“Shut up!!”

“Hahaha—”

…

Looking at the deranged man, a trace of fear flashed in Su Wan’er’s eyes. She quickly shuffled to the corner of her cell, pulling her knees closer.

This was what one looked like after being imprisoned here for sixty years.

Su Wan’er glanced at the madman’s face and couldn’t help but put herself in his shoes. If she stayed here for sixty years, would she also become like that?

No!

She still wanted to dominate the Four Domains and be a carefree, unfettered immortal.

How could she be trapped in such a place?

But…

Su Wan’er looked around her cell.

Although she hadn’t been in a prison before, this was the first time she had encountered such an impenetrable jail.

It had high-level restrictions, sealed her meridians, and not a trace of spiritual energy could be felt.

Her escape techniques were useless, she couldn’t use the Star Picking Art, she had no usable talismans or magical artifacts, and even the strange jade bell from before had disappeared without a trace…

In an instant, a sense of despair washed over her.

Su Wan’er deeply regretted her actions. If she hadn’t tried to extort some benefits from that brat surnamed Ye, she would probably be feasting on delicacies right now, instead of being stuck in this dirty, dark place daydreaming…

Wuwuwu—

Su Wan’er felt like crying. She even wanted to cling to the bars and call for the guards to complain, just to get a way to live. But she also knew that with the Xuan Xing Sect Young Master’s testimony and that brat surnamed Ye’s machinations, her case was likely irreversible.

Just as Su Wan’er was racking her brains, thinking of how to salvage the situation…

Tap tap—

Two sets of footsteps echoed from one side of the corridor.

Two constables from the Xing Tian Division, in the Foundation Establishment Stage, carrying long lamps, arrived at her cell door, opened it with a jade talisman, and walked in.

The one in the lead took out a document from his storage bag, unfolded it, and compared it with Su Wan’er’s face, confirming:

“Su Wan’er?”

“Yes…” Su Wan’er shrank her neck and nodded slightly, “What is it? Where is Liang Zhu?”

The two Xing Tian Division constables did not answer her question, but asked:

“Do you want to eat anything?”

!!

Su Wan’er’s eyes immediately contracted into a slit. Her gaze involuntarily shifted to the face of the deranged man gripping the bars behind them. He raised an eyebrow with a wicked smile:

“Beautiful, do you remember the last time you ate? Hahahahaha—”

Laughter echoed through the cramped dungeon, causing the criminal cultivators in other cells to approach their respective doors and peer out, hoping for a share of the meal.

“Beautiful, can you order a portion of Tianan City’s Jade Dragon Buns for me?”

“Girl, I want a cup of Jade Nectar Immortal Brew~~ if you’re getting anything.”

“I want a sweet roasted chicken… Fairy, consider it accumulating good karma before your departure, and get us inmates something good to eat.”

These were all Core Formation Stage cultivators who had long since abstained from food. However, as humans, they were still susceptible to the “eating, drinking, whoring, gambling” desires. Here, perhaps eating and drinking had become their only achievable desires.

The two Xing Tian Division disciples seemed accustomed to this, and did not intervene.

Su Wan’er listened to the “cheers” from within the dungeon, her lips parting and closing several times. Finally, she said in a low, submissive voice:

“No! Why… weren’t you supposed to hand me over to the Southern Domain Criminal Division? Why are you…”

“No handover. Immediate execution on the spot.” the Xing Tian Division disciple replied indifferently.

“Ah? This is not what we agreed upon!! I want to see Liang Zhu! I have something to say to him.”

“Then… do you want something to eat?”

“Make Liang Zhu come here!!”

The two Xing Tian Division disciples exchanged glances, then directly took out rags and hoods from their storage bags. They bound Su Wan’er’s hands with a Immortal Binding Rope, gagged her, and put on the hood.

“Wuwuwu?! Wuwuwu—”

The two Xing Tian Division disciples, one on each side, supported Su Wan’er, lifted her feet off the ground, and dragged her out:

“Lord Liang is waiting at the execution ground. You will see him shortly. By the way, the execution order was given by Lord Liang, and approved by Deputy Commander Yue.”

“Wu? Wuwuwu!! Wuwuwu—”
