"I've seen this happen a lot." The guard sighed, "There are only a few people coming to this place. I'm just bored so I'm telling you this."

"I see that you are in your seventies and have been in the sect for so many years. Although you are only at the first level of Qi training and your aptitude is not good, you should have some connection."

"No." Tang Ansheng shook his head.

He had only been in Huashen Sect for a few days, and his relationships were just that. At best, he knew a Yuanying Zhenjun, and nothing else.

As for the first level of Qi training, that was just a pretense. He had already reached the third level of Qi training.

When these immortal cultivators probe into other people's realms, they usually use those in higher realms to look at those in lower realms. If they have spiritual awareness, they can use it to probe, but probing with spiritual awareness is like scanning, and a lot of information about the body will be leaked out.

Without permission, it is like declaring war, so few people use this trick because it is too easy to offend people.

The other way is to observe the fluctuations of spiritual energy. The higher the realm, the more intense the fluctuations of spiritual energy around the body. You can rely on experience to observe what realm the other person is in.

Tang Ansheng used his internal force to actively suppress the activity of most of the spiritual energy in his body, demonstrating the realm of the first level of Qi training.

After all, he was born with natural spiritual roots, so it was understandable that he could cultivate to the first level of Qi training in a few days, but it would be unbelievable if he could cultivate to the third level of Qi training.

"No?" The guard was surprised, and then said, "There must be some spiritual stones."

"nor."

He then gave the spirit stones in the storage bag to Xia Fan, and now he only had a Xuanshui flag on him.

"Ugh."

The guard sighed, stopped talking, and escorted Tang Ansheng towards the gate.

"Hey, Zhao San, you went out for a while and brought back someone. What did this person do wrong?"

Another guard joked, "Old man, you are already in your seventies and eighties, and you are still restless."

Zhao San, who was escorting Tang Ansheng, just waved his hand and said, "This man was sent by Yang Lei."

"Oh……"

"So this is ah."

"That's not surprising." The other guards nodded.

"Well, since Zhenling is holding him, there's no need to do anything else. Just take this old guy to the East 1 area on the first floor."

The voice came from inside. Upon hearing it, the guard who was originally laughing immediately became serious and shouted at the same time: "Ward Liu."

Tang Ansheng looked in the direction he was going and discovered that the person approaching looked to be in his forties, with a dignified look on his face.

"East Area 1, Cell No. 20."

Upon hearing this, Zhao San immediately became anxious and said, "Prison District Liu, this man is over 70 years old. If he is imprisoned there, he might..."

"Huh? Are you talking to me?" Prison District Liu glanced at him sideways.

After seeing this, Zhao San did not dare to refute and could only say, "Yes."

So they took Tang Ansheng inside.

It was hard to see clearly from outside the gate, but once Tang Ansheng entered, he discovered a different world.

The surroundings were extremely dark, and all kinds of people were imprisoned in the cells.

Some walked around the cell with their hair loose.

Some shouted at the top of their lungs, "I'm not guilty."

Some of them sat on the bed and stared at the stone slabs below in a daze.

Some just stared at something and laughed stupidly...

When Zhao San escorted Tang Ansheng in, he almost immediately became the center of the stage, and most people focused their attention on him.

"Hey, old man, what crime did you commit? Did you commit murder or arson?"

"Haha, you're already old, how long can you live after coming in?"

"I think this old man has a bad face. He must be a bad guy."

Very few people spoke, and most people just stared silently.

"This is where the prison in the Punishment Hall is located." Zhao San said as he escorted Tang Ansheng. "The prison is located underground. There are eighteen floors in total. This is the first floor."

Perhaps knowing that Tang Ansheng was wrongly accused, Zhao San said, "Most of these people really committed crimes, but a few of them were like you, and were imprisoned because they offended certain people."

"In these eighteen prisons, the higher the cultivation level, the more serious the crime, the more floors one is imprisoned in, and the stronger the guards are."

"There is basically no danger on our floor, except..."

"Except?" Tang Ansheng asked back.

"Hey, old man, the son of the outer gate manager is imprisoned in Cell No. 19 in the East Area." Zhao San said.

Tang Ansheng could hear the hidden meaning in his words and asked, "Relationship? What crime did he commit?"

"He raped, robbed, and killed an entire family." Zhao San sighed and said, "A mortal down the mountain got married, and he fell in love with the bride, so he broke into her house that night and... after he was done, he killed the entire family."

"According to him, he originally just wanted to get the job done and leave, but the groom looked at him with murderous intent, so he killed the groom."

"Then the bride saw that the groom was dead and wanted to kill him too, so he killed him too."

"In the end, the whole family was wiped out."

Tang Ansheng just listened quietly and did not make any comments.

Seeing this, Zhao San also said to himself: "All the farmers and common people at the foot of the mountain are working for our Huashen Sect, and naturally there are people patrolling. After he did this, he happened to be bumped into by the patrolmen of our Huashen Sect."

"Logically, this kind of crime should at least land you in the ninth level of prison."

Tang Ansheng said at this time: "Did his steward father take action?"

"Well, the other party used some connections to keep him in the first floor. The punishment document from the Discipline Hall has not been issued yet, so we have to keep him well fed and well provided for."

Zhao San said, "I heard that his father, the manager, was still using his connections to try to make this happen because a mortal had offended him, and he was so angry that he killed everyone in the family."

"You are also a cultivator. If a mortal really bumped into him and he killed him in anger, he would not be punished too severely at all."

"Oh...so that's how it is." Tang Ansheng nodded.

"But this is not the most important thing. Before the sentencing document is issued, he is not a criminal yet and can only be detained. Therefore, he was not shackled."

Zhao San escorted Tang Ansheng inside, "He is at the second level of Qi training. Although this cell has the function of isolating spiritual energy, it cannot do it 100% after all."

"Most of the people who were previously imprisoned next to him were made miserable by him."

Tang Ansheng was in cell number 20, which meant he was right next to the other person.

No wonder Zhao San didn't seem to want him to stay there at first, it turned out to be because of this problem.

"Wait, since the sentencing document hasn't been issued, there's no need to wear shackles. What's wrong with me?" Tang Ansheng raised his hands.

Zhao San looked at him and said, "His father is the outer sect manager, so he has connections. Old man, is your son the outer sect manager?"

"I've already told you to find some connections. No matter what, you have to give me some money."

"Then Prison District Liu sent you here because you didn't pay."

Prison District Liu is actually only the deputy prison district, and the real prison district is Sun Chenglian. However, Sun Chenglian was demoted because he offended someone.

Because he was demoted and felt disappointed, he basically just stayed in his own yard to practice, and didn't care about the matters on the first level at all.

So Prison District Liu became the actual person in charge of the first level of the prison.

This person is very greedy. It doesn't matter if he has no money. He wants to stay in prison? It's impossible.

"You better be careful. It's best to ask someone to find a connection to get you out. This prison is not a place for people to stay."

When Tang Ansheng reached the innermost part, a figure in white suddenly rushed to the prison door, grabbed two pillars with both hands, and said excitedly:

"Hey, Guard Zhao, you sent another one. It just so happens that I got tired of the previous one."

He looked at Tang Ansheng and found that he was an old man. He was immediately disappointed and said, "Tsk, a stinky old man. I'll get tired of playing with him after just a few days."

"Hmph, you better behave yourself." Zhao San snorted coldly.

The young man didn't take his warning seriously and just looked at Tang Ansheng with an evil smile.

The prisoners around all had strange expressions on their faces when they saw Tang Ansheng being locked up next to this man.

"How long can this old man last?"

"I haven't been here more than three days."

"Three days is long, one night at most."

A prisoner chirped and bet, "What's the bet?"

"How about just betting one spirit stone?"

"Okay, just bet."

Zhao San didn't care about these people at all. He just said, "Old man, be careful. If anything happens, just shout."

Seeing that Tang Ansheng didn't say anything, he had no choice but to lock him up.

After all, he was just an ordinary guard and couldn't do much.

After Zhao San left, the entire prison cell suddenly became quiet, with many eyes staring at this side.

This is the first level. A cell will not hold only one prisoner, but usually three to five people.

Only those with connections like the young man can enjoy the treatment of having one cell for each person, or like Tang Ansheng, other prisoners who could not bear the torture and were transferred away can enjoy the luxurious facilities of having one cell for each person.

"Hey, old man, are you still wearing the soul-suppressing handcuffs?"

The young man lay on the middle fence, staring at Tang Ansheng, his eyes full of madness, "How about we play a game? As long as you hold on, I will give you spirit stones."

"If you can't hold on, tsk, don't blame me."

Tang Ansheng looked over and found that the man was thin, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mental state was extremely bad.

There are suspected signs of being possessed.

"Alas, it seems like this is another silly child who has gone astray." Tang Ansheng sighed.

Every time he sees this kind of person, he feels heartbroken.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not heartbroken for this person, I’m heartbroken for the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

After all, for every second the opponent lives, one point of spiritual energy will be consumed.

"Snapped!"

Tang Ansheng pushed with both hands, and the human-shaped soul-suppressing restraints that were said to be able to be broken free of only by those who had achieved great perfection in Qi training were opened just like that!

"You you..." The young man was stunned, and the madness in his eyes seemed to have diminished a bit.

"Look, who says a madman can't get better? His mental state has obviously improved a lot."

Tang Ansheng came over, leaned against the middle railing, faced the other person's face, and said slowly:

"How about this, you play my game first, and when you're done, I'll play your game?"

"what do you think?"

Hearing this cold voice and looking at the old face that looked like a demon, the young man showed fear for the first time in his eyes and took a few steps back.

…………

Somewhere outside the Punishment Hall.

"Senior brother, please help me arrange someone to go in." Li Bing said.

Because of Tang Ansheng's matter, he finally lost face.

"You are the manager of the sixth floor of the Punishment Hall. Isn't it easy for you to arrange someone on the first floor?"

"Junior Brother Li, when did you learn to use connections?"

The person in front turned around and looked at Li Bing with a smile, "Tell me, who is that person to you?"

"If you can't explain it clearly, don't blame me for not helping you."
