Chapter 976: Trampling the Mountain
In the back mountain of Myriad Heaven Palace, behind a stretch of bamboo forest, there stood a cluster of stone houses that seemed somewhat out of place.
The stone houses were connected together, and daoists patrolled outside with expressionless faces.
A dim, gloomy sheen emanated from the surfaces of these stone houses, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.
A middle-aged daoist arrived here, said a few words to the guarding daoists, and then walked inside the stone house.
From the outside, nothing about the stone houses seemed particularly unusual. But once the middle-aged daoist entered, it became clear that there was a long corridor inside, with prison cells lining both sides.
It turned out to be an underground prison.
The middle-aged daoist walked through the corridor, confirming that the prisoners in the cells on both sides were still there. Without saying anything further, he turned and left.
However, in the dozen or so cells at the end of the corridor, someone had been watching him the entire time.
Only after he left did that person withdraw his gaze and look toward the cell opposite.
