The One-Line Immortal said with a vacant look, "That devil...he is...retribution."

"None of us can escape. This dungeon is filled with retribution."

"All my life, I used people as mechanisms, but I've been turned into one myself. I can't even die!"

"Kill me! Kill me, and I'll be free."

I walked up to him and said, "I can kill you."

"Tell me everything that happened after you went down into the dungeon, in detail."

"Then I'll send you on your way!"

The One-Line Immortal pleaded, "Just kill me, please? I dare not say anything."

"He's coming soon. If he hears me talking about him behind his back, I won't even be able to die. Please, do it quickly!"

I said in a deep voice, "That devil might already be here. If he..."

I was going to scare him a little more, but unexpectedly, will-o'-the-wisps floated out of the One-Line Immortal's seven orifices.

The once-dominant Eastern Heavenly King had his soul scattered inexplicably.

The prison fell into a terrifying silence.

These prisoners must all have known the One-Line Immortal's reputation.

Perhaps, when the One-Line Immortal left his cell to seek a way out, these people still held endless hope for him.

Now, the demonic shadow in the prison had destroyed their hope twice.

I was sure that the other party would use the same method to deal with us again until he extinguished our last shred of hope before revealing his hideous face.

I nodded at Ye Yang, my meaning being: let him speak.

Right now, Ye Yang's words were more effective than mine.

His identity as Feng Shui and mechanism master, Bei Yi Ye, was there, and he was the only one who could give the prisoners hope.

Ye Yang said, "Behind the secret room is a secret passage to the next level. Those who want to go, come with me!"

I almost died of anger at Ye Yang.

Couldn't he say a few more words?

Couldn't he paint a picture of hope?

Didn't he know how to boost morale?

Ye Yang didn't even look at me, turning around and walking into the secret room.

I hesitated for a moment and followed. By the time I stepped into the secret room, Ye Yang had already opened the door to the lower level.

When the heavy iron door crashed against the wall of the passage, it sparked a few times, igniting the fire troughs on both sides of the passage. As the narrow flames snaked along the walls towards the lower levels of the prison, I couldn't help but ask, "Ye Yang, are we doing the right thing?"

"We're already underground. Going further down, aren't we just going deeper and deeper?"

Ye Yang said, "You wouldn't say that if you'd seen the map."

"This prison is an inverted tower."

"The place I came in is the bottom of the tower, and the lowest level is the top of the tower."

After hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp. "You mean, the devil should be at the top of the tower, right?"

Towers, most of these structures, are wide at the base and narrow at the top.

Some high towers have only one room on the top floor.

If the iron prison was an inverted tower, wouldn't that mean that the top of the tower was where the demons were sealed?

After asking, I added to myself, "Can an inverted tower suppress demons?"

In my impression, building a tower to suppress demons was more like using the tower to hold down the demonic creatures. But how could you suppress the demons by turning the tower upside down?

To my surprise, Ye Yang actually said, "Yes, it can!"

"There are precedents for suppressing demons with inverted towers. Moreover, the inverted tower is built underground. Otherwise, how could a tower with a small base and a large top stand up?"

"An inverted tower is like concentrating the weight of the tower on one point, pressing down on the demons."

"As long as the tower doesn't collapse, it can completely eliminate the demons after many years."

"It's just that very few people know the secret technique of suppressing demons with inverted towers. And I don't know why this place was turned into a prison."

While Ye Yang was speaking, I glanced back slightly and saw that no one from the prison had followed us. Then I said, "Do you think someone wanted to release the demons, so they turned this place into a place to imprison criminals?"

Since ancient times, prisons have been one of the places with the heaviest yin energy.

If it weren't for the public security sorcerers and jailers cleaning and suppressing the evil in the prison on a regular basis, the prison would inevitably become the easiest place to be haunted.

But this iron prison didn't have any jailers.

If someone used some kind of secret technique in the iron prison, it would be enough to guide the yin energy in the prison to the top of the tower, supplying the demons.

Wasn't this releasing the demons?

Ye Yang was silent for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure. However, according to the map, we can only leave this prison if we reach the lowest level of the iron prison..."

Before Ye Yang could finish his words, I heard several screams behind me. Immediately afterward, the prisoners' footsteps towards the dungeon became chaotic, mixed with the sound of someone falling down.

The prisoners were obviously running for their lives.

Ye Yang said urgently, "Let's go, don't get hit by them."

When people are running for their lives, they can't care about anything. If they encounter someone who is red-eyed and frantic, they might even push their own father if he stood in their way.

Weren't we currently standing in the prisoners' way?

Without saying a word, I followed Ye Yang and rushed towards the lower cells.
