Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 268 - 145: Return to the Great Prison, Your Backbone Isn’t So Tough After All
Commander’s Quarters, Wei Fan donned in full Profound Gold Fish Scale Armor, looked extremely imposing.
Deng Boyong entered, first cupping his hands in salute, then spoke: "Grand Commander, your family has been secretly relocated to Su City safely!"
Though Wei Fan was only acting as the Commander, he enjoyed the same benefits as a real Commander.
Therefore, the Demon Suppression Bureau had already sent personnel to Yun City to secretly relocate his sister’s family to Su City, preventing others from using them to threaten him.
Wei Fan nodded: "I understand, when I have time, I’ll visit them. Is there anything else?"
In fact, he did not intend to visit, as many people wanted to kill him, so the closer he got with his sister’s family, the more dangerous they became; hence, it was wisest not to maintain contact.
Deng Boyong nodded: "Some prisoners in the Great Prison have special identities. To prevent the disclosure of their detention locations, they cannot be held in one place for a long time and need to be transferred periodically.
Previously, something happened in Cyan Cloud City; the Great Prison was attacked. The Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau worries that the identities of those few special prisoners have been exposed. To ensure safety, they demand us to quickly transfer those individuals to Tongzhou for a period of time before another transfer.
The matter of prisoners has always been the responsibility of the Grand Commander at our Suzhou Demon Suppression Bureau. Commander, when do you have time to transfer these prisoners? This way, the brothers over at the Great Prison can also ease up a bit!"
"Is it that troublesome? Why not just kill them directly!"
Wei Fan was always puzzled why the Demon Fiends imprisoned in the Great Prison weren’t executed directly; imprisoning them not only requires manpower to guard, but there’s also the worry of a potential jailbreak.
Deng Boyong shook his head: "Perhaps it’s due to their special identities that they cannot be killed. In fact, these Demon Fiends and prisoners set for transfer weren’t captured by our Suzhou Demon Suppression Bureau. Since becoming the Deputy General and engaging with the Great Prison, they’ve already been inside.
Over the years, they have come in and out of the Suzhou Demon Suppression Bureau multiple times, and none of the subordinates know their exact identities or what they are guilty of. We only know that periodically, they must be transferred away, and then every decade or so, the Demon Suppression Bureaus from other Commandery Cities transfer them back here again."
Wei Fan felt a chill in his heart, witnessing such cautious handling, the Demon Suppression Bureau expends manpower and resources tirelessly. Their identities must be supremely special not to be killed.
He needs to personally participate in the transfer, indicating they are at least Divine Realm level experts or Condensing Spirit Demon Fiends.
"Today or tomorrow will do, you arrange!"
While pondering, Wei Fan spoke.
He’s only the acting Commander; the Demon Suppression Bureau only requires his martial strength. All else is handled by Deng Boyong, the Deputy General. If he were truly to shoulder a pile of administrative duties, he’d drop everything immediately.
"It’s better early than late. Let’s do it tonight. Elder Huo mentioned there’s a Divine Realm expert among the attackers of the Great Prison before. Best to hand off these hot potatoes to the State City Demon Suppression Bureau quickly; if anything happens, it’s not our problem!"
Wei Fan nodded, Deng Boyong took his leave to arrange the transfer.
When night fell, Deng Boyong reappeared, organizing a simple carriage to take him and Wei Fan out of the city.
Upon leaving the city, the two alight from the carriage and proceed towards the Great Prison under the cover of darkness, ensuring high secrecy.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a small village cleverly disguised, where three specially crafted prisoner transports and three Captains tasked with driving these carriages were already present. One of them was Li Chuyang, and Wei Fan recognized the other two somewhat, as they were under his command as Captains.
Wei Fan’s Power of Heart and Spirit scans, externally, these prisoner transports look like normal carriages, but inside they are completely sealed, almost without gaps, crafted from Profound Iron into iron boxes.
Even with Profound Iron, it couldn’t hold a Divine Realm expert; there should be other restrictive measures.
"Greetings, Grand Commander!"
The three, including Li Chuyang, cupped their hands. Wei Fan nodded in response. Li Chuyang looked spirited; the death of He Tai Xian seemed to have steadied him, making him less of the reckless warrior he once was.
"Bring the prisoners out first!"
Deng Boyong commanded softly, Li Chuyang and the others jumped off the carriage, followed behind the two into the Great Prison.
"There are three prisoners needing transfer, two are of the Human Race and one is a Demon Fiend. Their Dantian acupoints are secured with Golden Needles, chained hand and foot with Demigod Soldier level shackles, and will be fed soporific suppressive of Divine Soul.
Once we take them away, the Great Prison will be sealed for seven days, during which no entry or exit is allowed, ensuring no information is leaked outside. After seven days, Assistant General Chen Qiming will come with the Third Commander’s Waist Token to reopen the Great Prison.
As long as no one intercepts them mid-transfer, typically no issues arise."
The arrangements are thorough, but simultaneously indicate the case’s severity—there’s no room for any slip-up.
As they step into the Great Prison, Deputy General Wan Guang Seal is already waiting with his subordinates.
Previously, Deputy General Lin Cheng was removed due to the Luo Hongyuan incident, and now he’s also among the prisoners inside the Great Prison.
Towards their own, the Demon Suppression Bureau is rather lenient; even though Lin Cheng secretly released Luo Hongyuan, his head wasn’t chopped off, just imprisoned.
"I greet the Grand Commander!"
Wan Guang Seal and his Demon Suppression Guards spoke.
"No need for formalities!"
Wei Fan nodded, "Lead us to the prisoners!"
Wan Guang Seal opened a concealed door, led the way, "Grand Commander, please follow me!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Wei Fan and Deng Boyong followed, Li Chuyang also joined in, while the other two Captains stood by at the Great Prison entrance, ensuring from this moment onwards no one steps out of the prison.
