Chapter 2580: Chapter 2580: Ju Yuqu Returns to the Mountain

"To be honest, I do have something I want to ask Senior Brother Chu for help with!"

Little Seven said with some hesitation, "I just don’t know if Senior Brother Chu is available."

"Of course, of course. Whatever it is, even if I have to go through fire and water, I’ll definitely help you accomplish it!"

Senior Brother Chu was overjoyed in his heart and spoke confidently.

All along, he had been thinking of ways to get closer to Little Seven, but she never had any requests, and she often showed little appreciation for his proactive gestures.

Now, Little Seven finally had something to ask him for help with, which was the most convenient way to bridge the gap!

With a look of anticipation on his face, Chu Yang watched as Little Seven slightly opened her lips, saying, "I am very close with Junior Sister Miaoqiu, and she’s the one I can talk to the most. I don’t believe she could be an enemy spy. I want to ask her personally, but I can’t enter Sin Prison, which fills my heart with anxiety.

Little Seven knows that Senior Brother Chu has great Divine Skills, and surely you can help me get into Sin Prison to find out the truth!"

Little Seven spoke with sincerity, and the deep friendship between the sisters was almost palpable.

"Well..."

Chu Yang’s face suddenly changed, and he began to stammer.

It was he who had gotten Si Miaoqiu thrown into Sin Prison, not because of being a spy, but merely as a means of coercing her into compliance.

If he really brought Little Seven in, wouldn’t he be smacking his own face, causing his upright image to suddenly crumble?

Damn it, this was supposed to be flawless, so why on earth is Si Miaoqiu friends with Little Seven?

"What, Senior Brother Chu, are you unwilling to help Little Seven with this favor?"

Little Seven’s face carried a hint of "disappointment."

"It’s not that!"

Chu Yang had waited long for Little Seven to make a request; how could he refuse easily?

His eyes darted as he spoke with a "grief-stricken" face, "But, Little Seven, you’re a step too late. That woman must have feared the truth being exposed and has already committed suicide out of guilt!"

After saying this, he comforted Little Seven, "Little Seven, the human heart is complex. Although Si Miaoqiu appears to be harmless, who can guarantee that her heart isn’t as vicious as a scorpion? You must trust the Law Enforcement Hall; they always act fairly and justly!"

Nonsense about acting fairly and justly; it’s just using authority as a guise. Don’t think I don’t know how many innocent people died in Sin Prison!

Little Seven felt indignant in her heart.

She was indeed a bit na?ve, not expecting Chu Yang’s thoughts to be so quick, easily seeing through her excuse.

If she’d known earlier, she would’ve said she just wanted to see what Sin Prison was like. Perhaps the request would have stimulated him, and he might have agreed.

Now, if she mentioned that, it would clearly just arouse his suspicion.

"Dead? How could she be dead?"

Little Seven’s expression darkened, looking as if she might shed tears at any moment.

This wasn’t entirely an act; thinking about Ye Haochuan and the possible tortures he could be suffering in Sin Prison made Little Seven feel very upset.

Chu Yang knew nothing of Ye Haochuan’s matter, naturally attributing Little Seven’s sadness to Si Miaoqiu.

Tears in a woman’s eyes can be exceptionally alluring, especially when Little Seven is truly a beauty.

Chu Yang, seeing this scene, felt as if a cat was scratching his heart.

Yet, no matter how tempted, he dared not act rashly.

Little Seven was different from Si Miaoqiu. Si Miaoqiu was an Outer Palace Disciple; she could be easily imprisoned with a fabricated charge.

But Little Seven was different; she was the genuine disciple of Female Yama He Yanliu. If offended, she would certainly investigate. If it turned out he was playing tricks, even though he was the offspring of the Palace Venerable of Chujiang Hall, he wouldn’t escape punishment.

The name of Female Yama was no mere rumor.

"No, I can’t let her leave like this; this is an excellent opportunity; perhaps this time she’ll let down her guard!"

Chu Yang decided resolutely.

His eyes darted again as he suddenly said, "Little Seven, your focus on sisterly bonds truly moves Chu Yang. I just sent a message to inquire, and while the prisoner’s body has been dealt with, some possessions remain.

If Little Seven really can’t let go, I can have those belongings sent over, honoring the bond between sisters."

Little Seven was startled upon hearing this and then had a lightbulb moment, saying, "I’d prefer to collect them myself; that way, it would show sincerity. I also want to see where Miaoqiu lived last."

Why does she still want to enter Sin Prison?

Chu Yang furrowed his brows, his mind flooded with questions.

Even if he wracked his brains, he would never guess that Little Seven wanted to enter Sin Prison to see Ye Haochuan.

After considering for a while, Chu Yang eventually attributed Little Seven’s unusual behavior to her lack of trust in him.

She certainly needed to see Si Miaoqiu’s corpse and belongings with her own eyes before she’d believe Si Miaoqiu was dead.

"Alright!"

Chu Yang generously agreed, but privately had already sent a message out, instructing others to make arrangements.

Little Seven was overjoyed; she hadn’t expected such a turn of events, presenting a true opportunity to enter Sin Prison.

....

Ye Haochuan spent a night in Sin Prison, witnessing firsthand as a robust man was taken out from a nearby cell. Upon return, his once muscular figure had been skinned alive, rendering him unrecognizable.

Yet the man didn’t die immediately; he wailed and screamed in pain in the cell, sending chills down the listener’s spine.

This was merely the tip of the iceberg in Sin Prison. According to Hua Wen, the cells in Sin Prison were constructed within a hollowed-out mountain, holding over a hundred thousand people.

Almost every day, dozens to hundreds of people are tortured to death.

Yet the number of people in Sin Prison does not decrease; more people are brought in than those who die.

Ye Haochuan was growing increasingly restless.

Perhaps because he was still tasked with the "baiting mission," no one had come to torment him yet.

But this situation was unlikely to last long. Once Half-Mountain Residence and the three major clans showed no activity for too long, the Temple’s patience would run out; they would surely vent their anger on him.

After much deliberation, he indeed thought of a way.

Just last night, he had controlled Ju Yuqu to return to the Temple.

According to Ju Yuqu’s memory, he was a disciple of Tong Qianqiu, the Palace Venerable of Suoyun Peak’s Wuguan Hall and held a prestigious position in the Temple.

Yet even so, Ju Yuqu evidently did not have the authority to casually release people from Sin Prison.

Luckily, Ju Yuqu didn’t need to physically rescue him from Sin Prison. As long as he could find a way to unlock the God-Locking Ring, Ye Haochuan could escape through the Minor World.

Seeing Ju Yuqu, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly return, the people of Suoyun Peak were excited, intending to report to Palace Venerable Tong Qianqiu immediately.

This move frightened Ye Haochuan into a cold sweat, and he quickly stopped them.

The Palace Venerables of the Temple were exceptionally skilled; who knows if the Creation Phantom Demon Technique could deceive them? If discovered that Ju Yuqu was merely a puppet, Ye Haochuan’s subsequent plan would become very difficult!

The people intending to report were puzzled but dared not question further and left dejectedly.

Ye Haochuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to find a chance to inquire about the God-Locking Ring when suddenly a dignified voice rang out behind him.

"Qu’er, since you are still alive, why did you not report to me as your first priority? What is the reason for this?"
