Chapter 1235


    Sterio was stunned when he heard that. I’ve never been to Vige 108, but Jon told me quite a lot


    about Yannopolis during our journey. Yannopolis is a mysteriousnd filled with God Realm cultivators.


    If we’re in Yannopolis, we’re doomed.


    In the next second, the cultivator in the opposite prison cell suddenlyughed out loud, leaving


    Jonathan and Sterio bbergasted.


    “Yannopolis? If we were in Yannopolis, I would be more than willing to die here! Unfortunately, I tried


    everything I could and only ended up in the Outer City of Yannopolis. We’re now in the dungeon in the


    Outer City of Yannopolis. However, you’re right about something. We’re stuck in a formation, which is


    the foundation of the Outer City of Yannopolis. There are two ways you can escape this ce. Firstly,


    you can find the formation’s foundation and take control of it. Secondly, you can try to break this


    formation and destroy it. Haha!” The old man startedughing like a maniac.


    Seeing that, Sterio gave Jonathan a nudge andmented, “Jon, is he a madman?”


    “He isn’t a madman. He’s merely in utter despair.” Jonathan heaved a helpless sigh and said, “None of


    the ways he mentioned is workable. Both options require us to go against the entire Outer City. If we


    don’t have someone strong enough to topple the Outer City on our side, there’s no way we’re getting


    out of here.”


    “The entire Outer City?” Sterio gaped at the cultivator in the opposite prison cell incredulously. “What


    the h*ll?”


    “Are you saying that we’re going to die here? Don’t we have any hope of escaping?” Sterio’s


    expression turned sour as he turned to look at the bones nearby. I’ve been carrying such a heavy


    burden from the moment I left the Mallory family. I can’t afford to die here. Even if I were to die, I would


    rather die fighting. I can’t die in vain. That would be terrible!


    Just then, Jonathan shone the light at the prison cell opposite them and asked, “You aren’t alone in that


    huge prison cell, are you?”


    The cultivator leaned on the wall feebly, drained. The conversation he had with Jonathan earlier had


    seemingly depleted his energy.

    “There’s no point in telling you all that…”


    Sighing, the old man fell silent and shut his eyes.


    “Hey, you old b*stard! F*ck!” Sterio roared furiously. If it weren’t for the prison bars getting in his way,


    he might actually end up rushing toward the opposite prison cell to beat the cultivator up.


    Jonathan then stopped Sterio and produced a pack of self-heating instant beef stew from his storage


    ring. “Sterio, you can’t solve everything with violence. Let’s eat!”


    Afterward, Jonathan quickly prepared the instant beef stew by adding a bottle of water to it. Although a


    large amount of spiritual energy would be consumed every time he took something out from his storage


    ring, he knew it’d be worth it.


    The beef stew was ready after a few minutes, and the tasty aroma immediately filled the entire


    dungeon.


    While squatting on the ground, Sterio picked up a fork and was about to dig in. “Wow! I’ve been


    craving beef stew!” he said, chuckling.


    However, Jonathan shook his head and stopped Sterio. “Sterio, look over there.”


    Sterio followed Jonathan’s line of sight and turned toward the opposite prison cell to see that the


    emaciated cultivator had already crawled toward the prison bars. Slumping against the bars, he was


    staring longingly at the beef stew.


    Realization dawned on Sterio, and he snickered right away. “This beef stew is a delicacy back where


    we’re from. The vegetables and chunks of beef just melt in your mouth and taste amazing. Old man,


    you have no idea how long I’ve been wanting to eat this.”


    With the beef stew in his hands, Sterio slowly walked toward the prison bars.


    The prison cell opposite them was at least five meters away, but the intense, tantalizing aroma of the


    beef stew still wafted into the cultivator’s nostrils.


    Sterio picked up a chunk of beef and slowly moved it toward his mouth.


    Right before he put the beef in his mouth, he deliberately dropped it on the ground. “Oh, no! That’s


    such a waste! It’s all right, though. I still have plenty!”


    With that, Sterio picked up another chunk of beef before dropping it on the ground again.


    The cultivator couldn’t stand Sterio’s actions and finally gave in. “Don’t do that! I’ll tell you whatever


    you want to know! L-Let me have the beef stew…”


    “You brought this upon yourself!” Sterio sneered. “You must answer all our questions. If we find your


    answers satisfactory, we’ll give you the beef stew and something else, too. However, if we’re not


    satisfied with your answers, you’ll have to watch us eat!”


    Sterio ced the beef stew on the ground and nodded slightly at Jonathan.


    Jonathan had wanted to use the beef stew to lure the cultivator into telling them what he knew, but he


    didn’t expect Sterio to end up gainingplete control over the cultivator. This is rather surprising.


    Jonathan found his heart skipping a beat as he looked at the cultivator. If he was telling the truth when


    he said he was a prefect investigating Yannopolis, he must be a tough and strong-willed man. Yet, he’s


    throwing his dignity away for food! I wonder what he had been through here.


    At that moment, Jonathan had a lot of questions in his mind, but after a moment of pondering, he still


    chose to ask the cultivator the most important question.


    “You surely know a way out of here. I want you to give me an answer as detailed as possible,”


    Jonathan demanded.


    In response, the cultivator looked at Jonathan, rested his head on the prison bars, and gulped. “We’re


    in a dungeon in the southern part of the Outer City of Yannopolis. This is where the rebellious


    cultivators are imprisoned. ording to the protocol here, no one will entertain you if you’ve just


    arrived. They’ll imprison you for three months and wait for you to consume all your revitalization pills


    and magical herbs in your storage bag. Once you’ve emptied your storage bag, someone wille to


    confiscate everything you own. You’ll only have one option if you want to get out of here before running


    out of spiritual energy. When the guardse over to send you food, you can request to join a fighting


    competition. If you win thirty rounds in a row in the Outer City, you’ll be free to leave this horrific


    underground prison for good! That’s the only way!”
