Peerless Taoist

The Imperial Prison was located between the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review. It was guarded by experts from both sides.    

All the prisoners who were locked up here were criminals of the Great Tang Dynasty. They were the most dangerous criminals, and they had to be kept under strict watch.    

Three thousand guards were guarding outside the Imperial Prison. They had to sink three hundred meters from the ground before they could reach the Imperial Prison.    

The entire imperial prison had nine floors. There were wooden, iron, stone, water prisons, and so on. There were all sorts of buildings, but none of them wasn't extremely sturdy. On the surface of the wall, when the bricks were made, there would be a lot of runes carved on it, which made the bricks very strong. It could block all the sounds and effects from the outside world.    

At this moment, on the ninth floor of the prison.    

The sound of a whip hitting flesh could be heard.    

A man covered in blood was tied to the ground and allowed to be whipped.    

Several prison guards held whips in their hands, and when they got tired, they left while cursing.    

As for the man who was beaten until he was covered in blood, he was kicked back into the iron prison.    

This person was Lu Tiangang.    

Back then, the Master of the Snowflake Sect from the lower realm followed Lu Yu and ascended to the heaven realm.    

When he arrived at the Heaven Realm, Lu Tiangang's cultivation level had also improved by leaps and bounds. Without the restrictions of the lower realm, he quickly grew to the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, and with a leap, he became the Great General of the Sixteenth Guard, looking majestic.    

But the good times did not last long. Ever since Lu Yu became the Left General of Great Yu's Victorious East Star River, he had completely become enemies with the Tang Dynasty. Not only did he destroy the Tang Dynasty's plan to attack the Luo Shui Galaxy, he also forced the Tang Dynasty to sign an agreement to return the territory they occupied, and even pay compensation.    

At that time, within the Tang Dynasty, the voices denouncing Lu Yu were especially loud.    

Lu Tiangang was also implicated. He was stripped of his official position and imprisoned.    

However, he was just a small figure. Those big shots only stepped on him and did not pay much attention to him.    

Although there was no suppression from the higher-ups, Lu Tiangang's days in the imperial prison were not good at all. Those who could be locked up here were either vile and wicked, or they were powerful men who were renowned in their own areas. All of them had a deep background behind them. Only Lu Tiangang was alone. He had no one to rely on. He had lost his status as the Sixteenth General, so he was just an ordinary cultivator.    

Lying on the straw mat, Lu Tiangang took a short, deep breath.    

He was severely injured. He had to suffer such an injury every few days.    

After such a long time, Lu Tiangang's body was covered with scales, and there were not many parts of his body that were still intact. If he wasn't a body refining cultivator, he would probably have been tortured to death a long time ago.    

All of a sudden, the door to the cell was pushed open.    

A green-robed official led seven or eight jailers in with a fierce expression.    

"Lu Tiangang, the Prime Minister asked us to ask you, what are your plans?" the green-robed official's face was dark as he said coldly.    

A mocking smile gradually appeared on Lu Tiangang's face when he heard this. He suddenly spat out blood and sneered, "Keep dreaming."    

The official in green said, "You don't need to take the lead. You just need to go to the front of the formation and scold Lu Yu for all kinds of crimes as Lu Yu's former subordinate. After that, you will still be the general of my dynasty, and even I have to bow to you."    

Lu Tiangang snorted coldly, "I have never seen Lu Yu again, so how can I have committed any crimes?"    

The green-robed official said, "Although you did not meet him, Lu Yu has already become a tyrant. Naturally, we will collect his crimes. You only need to follow the rules and read to each other. It's not difficult at all."    

"With wealth and glory right in front of you, what is there to hesitate about? Are you planning to live in this dark dungeon for the rest of your life?"
