The Human Emperor (1-200)

C175: Gift From the Mysterious Prisoner!

"This isn't the imperial prison?!"

Wang Chong was surprised. He had been in here for so long, but it was the first time he had heard someone say that this was not the imperial prison.

"Hehe, to think that someone would say that a palace of the previous Great Sui would be the imperial prison, what an irony! However, it isn't entirely wrong for you to think of it as the imperial prison either. There are nine floors to the imperial prison, and you are at the tenth floor. In a way, this can be considered as an extension of the imperial prison!"

The mysterious voice sneered coldly.

"Palace of the Great Sui?"

Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat. He abruptly lifted his head and surveyed his surroundings with a look of disbelief. He had been here for so long, but he never realized that this was a palace of the Great Sui!

Dynasties rose and fell, it was a cycle of natural change. The era before the rise of the Great Tang was the Sui dynasty. As if to symbolize that, the Great Tang royal palace was built on the ruins of the previous Great Sui royal palace. Wang Chong was well aware about this.

Just that, he did not expect to see an intact Great Sui palace beneath the royal palace.

"Elder, it's not that I don't trust you, but if this isn't the imperial prison, then why would these people be locked here as well? Even if I can't make out whether this is the imperial prison or not, surely they would be able to sense something?"

Wang Chong asked doubtfully.

"Hahaha, them? You mean the prisoners who had been brought here just a few days ago? Do you think that these prisoners can tell where they are? If the guards claim that this is imperial prison, then to them, this would be the imperial prison."

"I was still curious as to why so many people were brought here all of the sudden. Now, I finally understand. It's all because of you! These prisoners were sent here because of you!"

"AH!"

The other party's reply left Wang Chong stunned. All along, Wang Chong had thought that these prisoners had been locked here from the very start.

However, after listening to the other party's words, he realized that these prisoners had been shifted here just awhile ago. This information left Wang Chong dumbstruck.

Although it sounded absurd, Wang Chong did not think that the opposite party had any reason to lie to him.

"How can that be?"

Lifting his head, Wang Chong muttered silently. The underlying truth of the entire incident surfaced in his mind, but it was so inconceivable that he found it hard to accept.

If what the other party said was true, it meant that these prisoners were all brought in here in a rush to form this temporary prison.

On top of that, he didn't expect the Stone of Destiny to regard the meeting with this mysterious man so highly.

Thinking back, when he reversed the destiny of his clan previously and obtained the title of Destiny Struggler, he was only awarded 50 Destiny Energy.

Yet, as soon this person's voice rang, the Stone of Destiny was immediately triggered, and a notice regarding the mission reward of 100 Destiny Energy appeared in his head.

Wang Chong could not imagine what kind of person could hold such weight.

"Let me ask you a question. How long have you known him?"

Wang Chong immediately turned around and asked a prisoner while pointing to another.

"Him? I'm not too sure, I don't really know him! I was only brought here ten days ago... Wait, it should be a month. Or was it three months? How long has it been? How long..."
