When Old Cang left, he smashed the door of the prison with one foot, connecting the space inside the prison to the outside. With the whistling sound of the wind, a foul stench rolled out of the prison along with the turbid air, scaring the guards who were originally standing at the entrance of the prison to stand far away.
The guards originally planned to go in and see how Old Cang had broken the prison. They discussed to wait until the stench was smaller before going in. At this moment, they still hadn't remembered that Huo Sixing was here.
The prisoners in the prison asked. The stench in the prison was smaller, and when they thought of the sound of Old Cang kicking the door, they instantly realized that it must be Old Cang who had broken the door. Since no guards came in to check, they all became very excited.
They all shook their heads and thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break out of prison, especially those who had been sentenced to death or had to spend eight to ten years in prison. They were even more excited, and their minds were spinning quickly. In the end, they all set their eyes on Huo Sixing. There was no other way. After all, he was the only one who could move freely in this prison, and he was the only one who could get the key on the wall.
"Boy, are you stupid? You have such a good opportunity, why don't you run away?" The prisoner in front of Huo Sixing cursed gloomily.
"Yeah, if it were me, I would have run away a long time ago."
"Little brother, hurry up and bring me the key on the other side, and let me out.
I will definitely repay you later. "
"Little brother, hurry up, or it will be too late when the guards come in," one of the prisoners urged anxiously.
Huo Sixing pretended not to hear the prisoners' requests. It was a crime for him to run away. He was not guilty to begin with, but if he ran away, it would be like yellow mud falling on his crotch. Even if he did not die, he would still die. Moreover, even if Yang Ying caught the thief who gave him the forbidden drug, he might not be able to convict him.
He could completely deny it or say that he didn't know or didn't know the thief.
Now that the prisoners in front of him were asking him to let them go, he would still be guilty. In the end, he would definitely be charged with releasing prisoners without permission.
Therefore, Huo Sixing was determined not to do that.
"Kid, which The Hunt are you from? What's the name of your leader? Tell me, maybe we'll be friends." Some of the prisoners tried to befriend Huo Sixing when they saw that he was unmoved.
"I'm from the Two Star Beast Hunting Warrior Group. Our group leader is Zhao Kaiyun. He's my elder brother-in-law. When you come out, I can introduce you to him. In the future, I'll protect you."
"I'm from the Three-Star Beast Hunting Warrior Group. Our group leader is called Liu Jingran. If you join our group in the future, I'll guarantee that you'll have a good life."
"I'm from the Five Star Beast Hunting Martial Master Division. I'm the leader. If you let me out, I'll let you be the second leader. You should know that even the most ordinary subordinates in our division are at the Moveable Realm, and I'm at the peak of the Moveable Realm. If you follow me in the future, you'll be able to do whatever you want."
"Little brother, although I haven't formed a Hunter Group, I am a cultivator of the first Tribulation Stage. I am willing to become sworn brothers with you. In the future, we will share blessings and misfortunes."
"Little brother, I have money. When we get out, I'll give you 10,000 taels of gold. I guarantee that you won't have to worry about money for the rest of your life."
"How can a hero bow down to something as vulgar as gold? We're all cultivators. I'm willing to exchange 3,000 low-grade spirit stones for my freedom."
"Although my cultivation is lacking, I'm a swordsmith. If you have the confidence to let me out, I'm willing to forge a peerless divine weapon for you for free."
… …
As time passed, the big figures finally lost their cool, especially the death row prisoners and felons. Each of them spoke louder than the last, and the more they spoke, the more extraordinary they became. They didn't expect this small prison to have so many crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
There were all kinds of people here. It was impossible for them to not be tempted when they heard the previous words. Just from the sighs of the prisoners beside them, they knew that the value of these items could not be underestimated. Especially when they heard that the swordsmith would forge a divine weapon for them, their hearts pounded, and they couldn't help but agree.
In the end, they restrained themselves with their strong rationality. At any time, life and freedom were more important. To be safe, it was better to wait here for news.
"Brat, don't be so shameless. Do you know who I am?" Facing the stubborn Huo Sixing, the prisoners finally revealed their ugly and ruthless faces.
"Brat, hurry up, or I'll make you suffer when I get out of prison."
"That's right, brat. Do you believe that the first thing I'll do when I get out will be to hunt you down?"
"Brat, do you believe that with just a word from me, I can thoroughly investigate your background and kill everyone related to you?
“
…
"You dare threaten me!" Huo Sixing said.
"So what if I blackmail you?" The prisoner was also angry. What else do you want?
"I don't know if you guys have that kind of ability. Believe it or not, when the guard comes, I'll tell him that you guys are planning to break out of prison. Let's see who gets punished first!"
Huo Sixing had always been someone who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. Now that he was using his friend's life to threaten him, his ferocious nature was immediately aroused.
"Little brat, do you have any concerns? Let's see if we can solve it."
Seeing that Huo Sixing was angry, a prisoner quickly stood up and changed the topic. This was not the time to bicker. Time was tight, and they had to think of a way to persuade Huo Sixing.
"That's right, little brat. I don't dare to say anything else, but in this Silvermoon City, I still have some power. The people in the underworld will give me some face. Let's see if we can help." A prisoner said with a pleasant expression.
"You guys don't have to waste your breath. I won't help you. I'll be out soon. I don't want to get involved in your matters!" Huo Sixing saw that the prisoners were unwilling to budge, so he immediately voiced his thoughts.
"Little brat, I don't want to criticize you, but one look and I can tell that this is your first time in prison. How can it be so easy to get out of here? Let's not talk about when we can let you out, even if we can let you out, I'm afraid that your family will go bankrupt."
A prisoner who was very experienced said, "I've seen this kind of thing many times. Some people were locked up for half their lives just because they stole a chicken."
"That's right, little brat. I haven't been interrogated at all since I was brought here. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed." The voice came from an unknown prison cell.
"Little brat, I've been here for five years. They want me to pay a hundred low-grade spirit stones before they let me out. How can I get that? I don't know how long I'll be locked up for."
"I just offended a rich family and was locked up. I heard that I'll be locked up for the rest of my life."
"You guys are good. I feel like I've been forgotten."
All kinds of complaints showed the darkness in the prison. He knew that this was not good. If they didn't interrogate him or investigate him, he would be locked up for a year and a half, or if Wulan and the others couldn't think of a way to get him out of here, wouldn't it be too late? Maybe by the time he got out, all the king beasts in Sky Blue would have already gone extinct. How would he be able to pass on information to them then?
"Little brat, do you know why all of us Beast Hunters have come to a remote town like Silvermoon City?" A prisoner saw that Huo Sixing's expression seemed to have softened.
"Why? It's naturally for the king beasts in Sky Blue. I promise that once we capture the descendant of a king beast that has awakened its bloodline, we'll definitely give you one." Another prisoner struck while the iron was hot.
"How are you so sure that you can capture the bloodline of a king beast?" Huo Sixing couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. Do you know how many Beast Hunters have come to Silvermoon City?
Tens of thousands of cultivators. It's enough to sweep the entire Sky Blue. Are you afraid that we won't be able to capture it? "That prisoner said confidently.
"I also know that the Beast Hunters are currently forming an alliance to discuss how to attack Sky Blue in order to obtain the greatest rewards?" Seeing that Huo Sixing had revealed his intentions, the prisoners immediately became spirited.
"Yes, I'm someone who can enter the alliance to make decisions. It's just that I was accidentally captured. When the time comes, I can bring you in as well. There are too many people, so we definitely can't distribute them equally. We have to give priority to the people around us, right?"
"Why should I believe you guys?
What if you guys go back on your words once we get out of the prison? What can I do to you guys? "
When Huo Sixing heard this, he finally made a decision. Wasn't his main goal in coming to Silvermoon City to gather information?
This was great, he had finally found the right path.
"Us Beast Hunters have always been true to our words. If it really doesn't work, I can swear in front of you.
Us cultivators are very taboo when it comes to swearing. "That prisoner said solemnly.
"Yes, little brother, you can be at ease. If anyone goes back on their words, I'll be the first to not let them go. I just hope that little brother can quickly open the prison. When the time comes, we'll all earn money together!"
"Yes, yes, little brother, you can be at ease. The grace of a new life is as great as the heavens. If anyone goes back on their words, we'll fight them together." All of the prisoners became very excited. They finally saw hope.
"Then the ten thousand taels of gold, three thousand spirit stones, and divine weapons … … Do they still count?"
Huo Sixing said with a bitter face. He looked very unwilling, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. With the mentality that he could fish out a little bit, it would be a waste not to take it.
"Let's do it, let's do it. There's nothing to be pitiful about with worldly possessions." The prisoners all guaranteed.
Most of the prisoners thought that since it wasn't their money, they wouldn't feel bad about it. Who told them to bring it up first?
The few people who brought up the idea of using things to exchange for their freedom seemed to be regretting their decision. However, this wasn't the time to talk about this. They could only brace themselves and agree, afraid that Huo Sixing would go back on his words.
"For the sake of fairness, we can't just let those few people take out their money. That would be very unfair to them. I think that each of you should take out something of equal value."
Huo Sixing said with an expression of "I am very fair".
"Ah!
Where did I get so much money? I've never seen so much money in my life! "Some of the prisoners said with a bitter face.
"That's right. If I had that kind of money, I would have bought myself out long ago."
"Isn't this extortion?"
"I'm risking my life to let you guys out. Why should I? Why don't we open the prison door later. When they leave, you guys don't touch them. I'm not asking you to give anything." Huo Sixing said with a wronged expression.
"Motherf * cker, when I took out my money, all of you agreed to it more painfully than anyone else. It's not your own money, so you don't feel heartache. I'll say this, if anyone dares to follow us without taking out his money, I'll make him regret coming here!" The prisoner who had promised to pay ten thousand taels of gold scolded loudly.
"That's right, why am I the only one who has to pay!
You have to take out all of them. If you don't, you owe me first. Don't you see me as a little brother? "The prisoner who said to hand over the spirit stones smiled and negotiated with Huo Sixing.
"That's fine, but you have to sign an IOU and swear an oath.
I just don't know, will they agree? "Huo Sixing reluctantly agreed.
"If anyone doesn't agree, don't even think about leaving this prison alive." A prisoner stared at the prisoner next to him fiercely. It was obvious that this prisoner was the big brother of his prison.
Under the pressure of the big brothers of the felons in the various prisons, they quickly came to a consensus and agreed on this matter.
"Little brother, hurry up and get the key. My brothers will open the prison!
Time is of the essence! "The prisoner who said to hand over ten thousand taels of gold urged Huo Sixing with a smile.
"That, I'm still a little afraid!" Huo Sixing said with a conflicted expression.
"Aiyo!
What are you afraid of? Once you get out, you have big brother's protection. Who can do anything to you! "The leader of the five star Beast Hunter Division said.
"It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm really afraid that someone will take revenge on me. How about this, each of you agree to do three things for me within the scope of your abilities.
Also, if anyone goes against you, you have to fight them together. "Huo Sixing said with his teeth clenched, as if he had made the final decision.
"Within the scope of our abilities?
You can't ask us to do things that harm ourselves! "A prisoner said.
Huo Sixing nodded his head, expressing his affirmation.
In the end, the prisoners clenched their teeth and agreed. This condition was the most restrictive for those with great abilities. For those who couldn't even take out ten thousand taels of gold, three things that were within the scope of their abilities didn't even need to think before they agreed.
"Alright, then let's sign a contract. Each of you have to put your fingerprints and sign your name. Time is of the essence, so I won't write the conditions for now. Don't worry, if I change the conditions, you can treat it as invalid, but you have to swear an oath first."
As Huo Sixing said this, he took out some paper from the corner of the prison. He had already seen these papers before, and they were definitely the ones that Old Cang used to write, because there was ink and brush beside them.
Huo Sixing handed out a piece of paper to each of the prisoners, then walked over to the wall and took down the key, saying, "Hurry up, whoever puts their fingerprints and names on the paper first, I will open the door to that prison first.
Don't forget, you have to swear an oath. If you don't swear, then the door will not be opened. "
When the prisoners saw that Huo Sixing had even prepared the paper, they immediately cried out that they had been tricked by this brat.
However, each and every one of them was very straightforward. They bit their fingers, wrote their names on the paper, and put their fingerprints on it.
Moreover, they supervised each other to swear an oath, for fear that the others would suffer if they didn't swear an oath, or that they would suffer a loss if they made an oath.
This was human nature. When there were benefits, they might not be able to enjoy them together. They would always hope for as few people as possible, but when they were at a disadvantage, they would always hope for as many people as possible.
"Brat, hurry up, here's the paper. Hurry up and open the door." A prisoner urged.
"Who are you scolding? Do you not want to come out?
Call me big brother.
From now on, call me big brother. Hurry up and swear an oath. "Huo Sixing glared at the prisoner and said. Dong!
The prisoner who urged was kicked to the wall by the person behind him, and was scolded, "Looking for trouble? Hurry up and swear an oath, call me big brother."
“
A series of oaths and shouts of "brother" spread throughout the prison.
Although the prisoners were very disgusted with Huo Sixing's method of making them swear an oath, they had no choice but to lower their heads when they were under the eaves. In front of them, there was Huo Sixing's nitpicking, and behind them, there were criminals on death row urging them, so they were all very obedient.
For criminals on death row, they could agree to any condition. As long as they could get out alive, it was better than anything else.
