Chapter 98 Golden Body Level 5! Ding Anzhi Imprisoned!

Chapter 99: The Fifth Stage of Golden Body Transformation! Ding Anzhi Imprisoned!

With the Yan faction wiped out, the imperial prison was empty again.

The jailers then remembered two people they had forgotten: Gao Quanyou and He Laifu.

These two men were Ma Danian's subordinates, and they nearly killed all the jailers in the prison on New Year's Eve.

They betrayed their own people and even tried to drag everyone in the prison down with them, so the prison guards naturally wouldn't let them get away with it.

They were supposed to be sent to the Ministry of Justice for trial, but were sent back by the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice assumed that these two men would not be able to provide any information and was unwilling to waste its energy interrogating them, since there were still many Yan faction officials waiting.

These low-level thugs were left to Shen Yan to deal with himself.

Chen Xiaoshuan reported the matter to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan pondered for a moment.

"Since he's Ma Danian's man, let him handle it!"

Upon receiving the order, Chen Xiaoshuan went to cell number C to inform Ma Danian.

Gao Quanyou and He Laifu were taken to the torture chamber, but this trip was certainly not for interrogation.

Not only would they not get anything out of him, but even if they did, the jailer wouldn't dare listen.

Inside the torture chamber, all the jailers were present; these were the same people who had served in the prison that night.

Ma Danian gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Quanyou, He Laifu, we don't blame you for wanting to rise to prominence. Being a traitor and a coward is fine, but what you shouldn't have done was use our lives to exchange for your high-ranking positions and generous salaries."

Gao Quanyou and He Laifu were already terrified and their faces turned ashen.

"Horse Head, please spare me. I was also bewitched. Aren't we all at peace now?"

"Yeah! Yeah! We can buy our lives with money!"

Ma Danian sneered, "Those standing here will naturally be fine, but Cai Aniu, Zhong Facai—you haven't forgotten how those four died, have you?"

The two men broke out in a cold sweat, their pleading eyes fixed on the jailers in the torture chamber.

He tried to ask someone to plead for him, but without exception, no one showed him any pity.

They were prison guards, so they knew the instruments of torture in the torture chambers all too well.

But I never thought I would use it on myself one day.

The next day, two unrecognizable corpses were carried out of the prison and dumped in a mass grave outside the city to be fed to the dogs.

Ma Danian still cherished their past relationship; otherwise, given what the two had done, it wouldn't have been unreasonable for the imperial court to confiscate their property and exterminate their entire clan.

Shen Yan is practicing his martial arts in an empty cell. The Longevity Manual is a skill that requires patience and perseverance; breakthroughs will come naturally when the time is right.

There may not be much change before breaking through the innate level.

The title of Innate Grandmaster is within easy reach; all that's needed is for the dantian and dantian to be filled with innate true qi.

However, since he started practicing Yin and Yang cultivation simultaneously, he has rarely practiced the "Longevity Manual" for fear of imbalance and going into qi deviation again.

Therefore, the only way to achieve a breakthrough is through external training methods; cultivating both internal and external skills is the right path.

Although people know this, they suffer from the limitation of lifespan and cannot have both.

External training can toughen the body but is prone to injury. The Longevity Manual allows the body to recuperate and replenish its vitality, thus making up for this deficiency.

Shen Yan controlled his qi and blood to cleanse his muscles and bones, and his entire body gradually turned a light gold color.

His skin had long since turned a coppery red, a sign that the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique had reached its peak.

Inside the cell, no one disturbed them, and they could not see the sunrise or sunset.

Shen Yan didn't know how much time had passed before he slowly opened his eyes.

"Fifth reincarnation complete!"

The thirty-six acupoints in the legs are filled with Qi and blood, and the meridians of the lower body are completely opened.

He felt as if he were walking on air, and his speed was more than 30% faster than usual.

Having reached the fifth level of the Golden Body Realm, Shen Yan is now a fifth-rank martial artist. The Heavenly Prison may have many undesirable aspects.

But it's definitely a good place to cultivate oneself in seclusion, where no one cares and no one pays attention.

There's no need to pay attention to the petty scheming and backstabbing in officialdom.

Shen Yan sensed that chaos was about to erupt, just as Yan Fan had predicted.

Emperor Xuanwu was already seventy years old; he had only a few years left to live.

The Great Zhou had already been ravaged beyond recognition, and everyone was only thinking about sucking blood from it.

But they never considered what would happen if the Great Zhou Dynasty fell.

"Power is authority. Even if you rise to the highest rank, it will all come to nothing in the end."

Yan Fan's incident served as a wake-up call for him; there truly are innate grandmasters in the world.

Although a fifth-rank martial artist is very strong, they are still far from being truly skilled.

Shen Yan tidied himself up and left the cell.

The sun had already set, and it would be time to clock out in a little while.

At that moment, he saw an official from the Ministry of Justice walking towards the prison.

Shen Yan was not familiar with this person; they had only met a few times.

He looked at Shen Yan with a smile on his face.

"Lord Shen! Congratulations!"

He then handed the letter of appointment to Shen Yan.

He opened it and took a look.

It turns out that Shen Yan was promoted because of his meritorious service in guarding the imperial prison during the rebellion.

"A seventh-rank official?"

Shen Yan did not want to leave the Heavenly Prison, after all, he was now the ruler of the Heavenly Prison.

A promise is a promise; if he leaves the Heavenly Prison, wouldn't he be back to the same state as when he first arrived?

"Yes! Lord Yang knows you don't want to leave the Imperial Prison, so he's letting you continue to manage its affairs; you don't need to leave."

.

Promotion is always a good thing, so Shen Yan casually slipped a silver note into the man's hand, making the man's face even brighter.

Shen Yan had no intention of joining the Ministry of Justice, which was naturally good news for the officials there.

After all, when someone comes in, someone else has to make room, and nobody wants to be the one making room.

The next day.

As soon as Shen Yan arrived at the prison, he heard some unbelievable news.

"Ding Anzhi has been arrested?!"

He stared at Sun Fugui in utter shock.

"Yes, Brother Shen, he was arrested last night."

Sun Fugui looked at Shen Yan with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "Could Brother Shen be a reincarnation of a jinx?! How come everyone who gets along with him is doomed?"

He silently counted the unfortunate people who would fall from grace after Shen Yan entered the prison.

Upon careful reflection, it became clear that this was true for everyone, whether they were prison guards or officials from the Ministry of Justice.

Shen Yan frowned and asked, "Has the person been sent to the imperial prison?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon. Lord Yang led the team to arrest them last night."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but speculate in his mind.

"Could it be that Yang Wanli has started dealing with his opponents?"

The person was quickly sent to the imperial prison.

In their previous meetings, Ding Anzhi had appeared full of ambition and high spirits.

He was vying with Yang Wanli for the position of Minister of Justice.

Now he appears dejected, which is quite sad.

"Lord Ding, it's been a long time!"

Ding Anzhi did not reply, but only glanced at Shen Yan.

When Shen Yan received his file, he discovered that it was related to the Yan faction.

This made him somewhat curious.

Ding Anzhi was an official of the Qingliu faction, and he wasn't implicated when the Yan faction was purged.

"It turns out that Fang Jingxing was the one who reported it. It turns out that the Imperial Guards in the prison were mobilized by Ding Anzhi, and the key that Gao Quanyou had was also delivered by him."

Now Shen Yan finally understood why the shackles and keys, which should have been kept in the Ministry of Justice, ended up in Gao Quanyou's hands.

It turns out that Ding Anzhi was behind it all.

But why would he do that?

If Ding Anzhi hadn't done these foolish things, the Qingliu faction would now be all-powerful, and Ding Anzhi would have benefited as well.

Shen Yan put away the case file and planned to go to the prison to see Ding Anzhi.

Although the two were not exactly enemies, they did have some past conflicts.

There was no way around it; Ding Anzhi's position was too high, while Shen Yan, as a prison guard, had a lowly status.

His casual orders would cause the prison guards in the imperial jail a great deal of suffering.
