"Good!"

Li Yunjing nodded and followed the person out of the "Law Enforcement Hall."

This steward gave enough respect to Li Yunjing, not sending anyone to escort him, let alone applying any restraints.

The reason for this was naturally because Li Yunjing surrendered himself, plus the matter was personally handled by the Ancestor.

A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator remembered by a Nascent Soul Realm ancestor was not someone this steward could afford to offend.

The people of the "Law Enforcement Hall" were not stubborn. They knew who they could and could not offend, and the severity of the punishment for different individuals was well considered.

At this moment, Li Yunjing had no desire to speak, feeling gloomy.

Seeing this, the steward naturally did not want to find trouble by talking to Li Yunjing.

The identity of a True Disciple, if not for Li Yunjing’s voluntary surrender, would be difficult for the "Law Enforcement Hall" to execute an arrest.

True Disciples were the treasures of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Each True Disciple had a reputation and required reporting to the Sect Leader Venerable for any issues.

The Sect Leader Venerable would handle it, or the Nascent Soul ancestor, or at the very least, a meeting of the authoritative elders would be convened to discuss and decide the punishment.

Just like Wei Henian, who committed such a serious crime, yet nothing happened to him.

He went to the front lines to redeem himself and has now restored his reputation.

This is the privilege of being a True Disciple!

Below the Golden Core Realm, True Disciples held the highest privileges!

The two walked side by side, passing the teleportation array towards the peak where the Divine Prison was located.

Between the two, there was no stance of escorting a prisoner.

Along the way, people from the "Law Enforcement Hall" thought the steward’s friend had arrived.

This made Li Yunjing feel a bit better, at least the person gave him due respect.

They arrived at the mountain peak where the Divine Prison was located through the teleportation array.

Upon exiting, the location of the "Divine Prison Peak" surprised Li Yunjing, as it was in the Western Mountain Area!

Returning to the old place, Li Yunjing felt a sense of loss.

The "Divine Prison Peak" was not as bustling as other peaks in the Western Mountain Area.

There were no servant disciples, inner sect disciples, or outer sect disciples coming and going.

Instead, cultivators patrolling the mountain had at least the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.

Obviously, this place was vastly different from the rest of the Western Mountain Area, with very tight security.

Li Yunjing understood this situation.

This was the place where the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" imprisoned its prisoners, a critical area.

The prisoners here included those who violated sect rules, as well as captured cultivators from other sects, including Buddhist disciples, demon dao practitioners, and demon beasts.

In short, those captured by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" rarely had good outcomes and were almost impossible to escape.

Cases like Li Yunjing’s, with a three-year imprisonment, were extremely rare.

Generally, disciples who violated sect rules were imprisoned in the "Law Enforcement Hall," like the servant disciple who offended Li Yunjing a few years ago and was just released last year.

Only those with severe crimes would the sect resolve to imprison in the Divine Prison.

The "Law Enforcement Hall" steward, after arriving here and showing his identity token, led Li Yunjing towards a cave halfway up the mountain.

At the entrance of the cave stood a giant rock, with the bloodied words "Divine Prison" carved into it.

Standing at the entrance of the Divine Prison, Li Yunjing felt extremely oppressed. The air carried a sense of darkness and blood, making it clear this was not a good place.

"Alas! My elder, you’re really going to play me to death!"

Though he imagined the Divine Prison wasn’t a good place, Li Yunjing still frowned deeply upon arriving at the entrance.

How is this simply bad?

It’s like hell!

He would rather be confined at home than suffer this place!

Thinking this, Li Yunjing couldn’t help but sigh.

"Let’s go! Though the conditions here are harsh, your punishment is light. Your living conditions won’t be bad, it’s actually a good place for seclusion."

Seeing Li Yunjing’s sigh, the steward was amused and kindly consoled him.

The sect elder probably wanted to temper this True Disciple’s temperament!

Since that’s the case, he naturally wouldn’t want to be the villain and decided to arrange a decent place for Li Yunjing to stay for the next three years.

As for how Li Yunjing would fare after three years, it was none of his concern.

For those in the "Law Enforcement Hall," neutrality was a consistent style, rarely anyone would get closely involved with people from other peaks.

"Um! Thanks for the reminder!"

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly and sighed, not expecting his first experience of imprisonment to be within his own sect.

He found it quite uncomfortable.

Following the steward’s steps, after entering the cave, the surroundings grew darker.

The long corridor made of piled stones was patrolled by Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, all dressed in black armor, imposing in appearance.

These were the prison guards specifically guarding the Divine Prison.

Although it was a divine prison, the spiritual energy here was abundant. Upon entering, Li Yunjing felt the thick spiritual energy, no less than that of the Eastern Mountain Area.

Given the barren Western Mountain Area, it’s certain there wouldn’t be such a good place. The dense spiritual energy here must be due to the "Spirit Gathering Array" altering the environment.
