“Reporting to adoptive father, our spy in the East Factory just sent news that half an hour ago, a young master broke into the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison. Cao Zhengchun has gone to apprehend him, but has not yet come out.”

At this time, in the main hall of Hulong Villa, the Iron-hearted God-detective Zhu Wushi and the three imperial secret agents, Tian, Di, and Xuan, were all present. The speaker, dressed in white, was Shangguan Haitang, the number one agent of the Xuan character, who also served as the master of the number one villa in the world.

“Bang!”

Zhu Wushi shattered the armrest of his chair with one palm and stood up abruptly.

He, who had always been gentle, refined, calm, and grand, instantly became incomparably sharp.

“Adoptive father, what’s wrong?”

Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao, and Shangguan Haitang had never seen him with such an expression before. They only felt that his face was as cold as ice and extremely gloomy, giving them a very unfamiliar feeling.

Zhu Wushi’s face was extremely stern as he asked, “Do you know who that young master is, ‘Zero Eight Zero’?”

Shangguan Haitang shook her head and said, “According to the spy’s description, he should be the Sword Demon, who has been causing a stir in the martial arts world recently.”

“It’s him?”

Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao both trembled when they heard this.

Zhu Wushi looked at the two and asked, “Tianya, Yidao, you two have been investigating this person for a long time. Do you have any news?”

Duan Tianya bowed his head and said, “Reporting to adoptive father, this person’s identity and origin are too mysterious to be traced. I previously thought I could inquire about this person’s information through Zhou Huaian, but I didn’t expect him to be unaware either.”

Zhu Wushi frowned deeply and ordered, “The three of you immediately follow me to the Heavenly Prison.”

“Yes, adoptive father.”

Although the three did not understand why he was so nervous, they had always obeyed his words without question.

When Zhu Wushi arrived at the East Factory with the three great secret agents, he happened to meet Cao Zhengchun at the entrance of the Heavenly Prison.

Seeing Zhu Wushi arrive, Cao Zhengchun was not surprised at all. He saluted in a strange tone and said, “It is truly an honor for my East Factory to have the Iron-hearted God-detective grace us with his presence. I apologize for not coming out to greet you, I hope the God-detective will not mind.”

“Didn’t they say someone broke into the Heavenly Prison? Why is Cao Zhengchun’s reaction so abnormal?”

Zhu Wushi’s pupils contracted slightly. He scrutinized Cao Zhengchun with a questioning gaze but couldn’t make sense of anything. He immediately asked sternly, “Eunuch Cao, I heard someone broke into the Heavenly Prison. Is this true?”

“Someone broke into the Heavenly Prison? How come I don’t know about this?”

Cao Zhengchun first showed a look of doubt, then feigned panic and said, “God-detective, you’ve come at just the right time. Something terrible has happened. Gu Santong, the great demon you imprisoned on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison, just escaped from his cell.”

“What? Gu Santong escaped?”

Zhu Wushi’s face instantly changed dramatically when he heard this. He said coldly, “I want to go down and see.”

Cao Zhengchun said expressionlessly, “God, I must immediately go to the palace to report to the Emperor.”

Zhu Wushi remained gloomy, saying nothing, and went straight into the Heavenly Prison, with the three great secret agents following closely behind. Descending to the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison, looking at the empty cell and the pile of broken chains, Zhu Wushi’s face became even darker. He muttered to himself, “Gu Santong, you still broke your oath and left the Heavenly Prison.”

As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, like a volcano about to erupt at any moment. “Why did he leave? Could it be something the Sword Demon Ye Qingfeng said?”

Zhu Wushi was baffled. Seeing the current scene, he could basically rule out the possibility of someone rescuing Gu Santong. With Gu Santong’s martial arts, if he didn’t want to leave himself, no one else could possibly take him away.

Moreover, given Gu Santong’s character, he would never leave easily.

As he himself said, what he couldn’t break was his promise, otherwise he wouldn’t have been imprisoned here for twenty years.

Therefore, Zhu Wushi deduced that the person who broke into the Heavenly Prison must have said something to Gu Santong that made him leave.

“Sword Demon Ye Qingfeng, who exactly are you, and what is your purpose, to be able to make Gu Santong break his oath and leave?”

Having deduced the result, Zhu Wushi couldn’t help but grit his teeth, his face gradually becoming somewhat distorted.

Seeing his angry expression, Shangguan Haitang asked, “Adoptive father, is Gu Santong imprisoned here?”

Not only her, but Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao were also incredibly shocked.

Zhu Wushi did not answer her question, but said coldly, “Issue an order to fully investigate this matter. I want to know what happened here tonight, especially about that Sword Demon Ye Qingfeng. I want to know his origins.” Then he added, “Also, Gu Santong has escaped from the Heavenly Prison. Be sure to find his whereabouts as soon as possible. I will now go to the palace to see the Emperor.”

“Yes, adoptive father.”

All three knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately agreed.

After leaving the Heavenly Prison, Zhu Wushi went straight to the imperial palace.

When he arrived at the imperial study with a stern face, Cao Zhengchun had already reported to the emperor…

He immediately ignored the formalities and said with a grim face, “Your Majesty, someone just broke into the Heavenly Prison and rescued Gu Santong, the undefeated scoundrel from back then. This person is the world’s number one evil demon. Now that he has escaped from the Heavenly Prison, he will surely cause a bloodbath in the martial arts world, leading to countless killings and disputes. Your humble servant humbly requests Your Majesty to issue an edict to immediately search for Gu Santong.”

Emperor Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and casually said, “Imperial Uncle, Cao Zhengchun just reported this matter to me. Didn’t Gu Santong escape on his own? How did it turn into someone breaking him out of prison?”

“Escaped on his own?”

Zhu Wushi’s eyes narrowed. He suddenly looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked, “Eunuch Cao, what do you mean by that?”

“From where did the God-detective hear that Gu Santong was broken out of prison?”

Cao Zhengchun feigned a look of doubt and said, “That Gu Santong indeed escaped on his own. This old servant saw it with his own eyes. This old servant even exchanged a few blows with him, but being no match, I let him escape. This old servant would never dare to deceive His Majesty.”

Zhu Wushi frowned and said, “I received intelligence that someone clearly broke into the Heavenly Prison…”

Before he could finish, Cao Zhengchun interrupted, “The Heavenly Prison is under the jurisdiction of my East Factory. It’s truly not simple for the Prince to receive information from the Heavenly Prison at the first instance.” After a sarcastic remark to Zhu Wushi, he turned to Zhu Houzhao: “Your Majesty, every word this old servant says is true. That Gu Santong indeed escaped on his own. His martial arts are too high, and this old servant couldn’t stop him. I beg Your Majesty’s forgiveness.”

“Forget it.”

Zhu Houzhao said indifferently, “With Gu Santong’s 3.4 martial arts, it’s normal for you not to be able to defeat him. However, that demon escaping from prison is due to your East Factory’s negligence. Since this matter has alarmed Imperial Uncle, you should follow Imperial Uncle’s wishes and fully search for Gu Santong.”

“This old servant obeys the imperial decree.”

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and accepted the decree.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao’s indifferent attitude towards the matter, Zhu Wushi immediately felt a surge of resentment.

Dividing the conversation into two parts.

At this time, Ye Qingfeng and Gu Santong had already met Cheng Shifei.

Cheng Shifei said, “Brother Ye, I’ve waited for you all night at the restaurant as you instructed. Didn’t you say there was a benefit for me? What exactly is it? Also, who is this old man?”

Gu Santong immediately shifted his gaze to him and asked tremblingly, “He… he is my and Suxin’s…”

He was so excited at this moment that he couldn’t even speak a complete sentence.
