Chapter 560 -533: Hope (Please Subscribe)
Around three hours later, in the ninth level of the Black Prison under the Divine Prison Department, the Tian Xiang Divine Envoy, whom Lin Rui was concerned about, was bound by countless chains to a huge iron pillar.
Her eyes opened, filled with a hint of disbelief as she looked up and down at the prison guard before her – a man with a tall stature, a stern aura, and dressed in the robes of a Sixth Rank, as well as the peculiar Dharma Seal that he had formed with his hands.
“It seems you truly belong to the Invincible Dharma King. Unexpectedly, the Invincible Dharma King is so divinely powerful. How many years has it been since she became a Dharma King? And she was actually able to infiltrate someone into the Divine Prison Department.”
“The divine power of the Invincible Dharma King is beyond your imagination.”
The black-faced prison guard snorted lightly, retracting the Dharma Seal in front of his chest: “Speak, where exactly is King Ming hiding?”
...
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s gaze sharpened as she looked steadily at the black-faced prison guard: “What exactly does the Invincible Dharma King intend to do? Does she wish to become King Ming? Impossible. Although she was also one of the chosen Saint Heirs by the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, she only joined the Bright Holy Sect barely five years ago. Except for her master, no one in the sect, including the Three Pillars, Five Envoys, Seven Kings, and the various Dharma Platforms of the Holy Sect would submit to her.”
“Do not make wild guesses.” The prison guard’s face was expressionless: “You just need to tell us where King Ming is currently located, that is all.”
“Don’t say that I don’t know.”
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy closed her eyes, her expression indifferent: “Even if I did know, I still wouldn’t betray King Ming.”
“You’re very foolish.”
The black-faced prison guard shook his head slightly: “Do you know how your so-called King Ming managed to escape the pursuit of the East Abyss? Not long ago, someone climbed up to Red Island in the South Sea and discovered that all 790,000 members of the congregation on Red Island had perished, victims of a Blood Sacrifice. At the scene, signs of the East Abyss’s handiwork were evident, along with remnants of the flames from our Divine Sect’s Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire—”
Before he could finish speaking, Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s eyes widened angrily as she rebuked: “That’s impossible!”
“The truth is evident. Should you be fortunate to get out, you can verify it for yourself! Your King Ming has done countless filthy, despicable deeds. It’s just that previously, Elder Wan Xin covered for him, and his tracks were not revealed, I don’t believe you never noticed any clues before.”
A cold sneer appeared on the black-faced prison guard’s face: “You entered Luojing with King Ming and participated together in the heist of the Divine Tablet; you must know some clues. Speak everything you know, and at least, the Invincible Dharma King could protect your few disciples.”
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s complexion underwent several changes, clearly her emotions were far from calm.
Moments later, a strange zeal emerged from the depths of Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s eyes: “You can relay to the Invincible Dharma King that I know where King Ming is. If she wishes to know, then she needs to find a way to let me out.”
“Let you out?” The black-faced prison guard raised his eyebrow, followed by a sneer: “I think you’re mad! Do you know where this is?”
“I know, this is the Great Song Divine Prison Department! Since its establishment, not a single prisoner from either the eighth or ninth level has ever succeeded in breaking out.”
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy spoke calmly: “Isn’t your Invincible Dharma King divinely powerful, with divine might beyond my imagination? Then let her give it a try. Unless I can be freed from here, you can forget about getting any information about King Ming from me.”
She then ignored the black-faced prison guard, silently, and wordlessly, looking up at the dome of the Black Prison.
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy was recalling the youth with the pure complexion.
She thought to herself that she must send the news of the ‘King Ming’s Descent’ back to the Main Temple to let the five Priests responsible for passing the fire of the Divine Sect, the ‘Light Saints,’ know.
The newcomer from the Abyss who had seized the Pure Method from the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire was none other than the Third Saint Heir of the Divine Sect, as well as Lin Hao, the Commander of the Great Song Spy Detection Bureau!
However, the man before her and the ambitious Invincible Dharma King behind him were highly unreliable!
That King Ming, too, had inscrutable intentions and was not of good nature!
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy had always been puzzled about how her whereabouts had been leaked and how the Outer Heaven Demons came to know of her?
When she was captured, she had never suspected ‘King Ming,’ simply because King Ming’s current situation was bleak, and he had to rely on their loyal subordinates.
However, when Tian Xiang, the Divine Envoy, learned that nine million followers of the Bright Holy Sect in the northern counties of Jingzhou, Xuanhua County, and Tiantong County had rebelled, she couldn’t help harboring doubts in her heart.
These mid and low-level priests of the two counties were not fools and were not easily deceived. It wouldn’t be easy for any force to instigate their rebellion—unless there was collusion from within.
Tian Xiang didn’t want to think about that ‘King Ming,’ but she couldn’t help but suspect.
Thus, the real news of the ‘King Ming’s’ descent to the world could not be let known to King Ming himself. Tian Xiang must personally inform the several Light Saints of this matter.
The dark-faced prison officer seemed to have more in mind and his expression subtly changed as he picked up the whip beside him, lashing Tian Xiang mercilessly several times.
The whip in his hand was a Magic Artifact specifically crafted by the Divine Affairs Office of the Great Song for the purpose of torture. It could lash the flesh and simultaneously strike the Divine Soul, causing unbearable agony.
Soon after, another Fourth Rank prison officer in blue garments entered from outside.
He glanced at the two people isolated within and showed no doubt; it was because the First Divine Envoy had just issued a decree stating that any prison officer within the Divine Prison Department who could make Tian Xiang speak would be immediately promoted three ranks with a reward of ten thousand taels!
This news made the many seasoned torturers in the prison ecstatic. Each had their unique skills and was not willing to share the glory with others. They were taking turns, each responsible for several hours. It all depended on who was lucky enough to make Tian Xiang speak.
However, these people were likely to be disappointed. The blue-clad prison officer glanced over Tian Xiang: “The National Guardian has ordered immediate transfer of this demon to his mansion. The National Guardian has a use for this Demon Sect’s Divine Envoy.”
The dark-faced prison officer was startled and said, “Prison Officer sir, this Tian Xiang demon head is a criminal of great importance designated by the Divine Envoy supervision. The First Divine Envoy even mentioned before that without a decree from the Divine Envoy supervision, no one is permitted to take her out of the Divine Prison Department.”
“Do you think I don’t know what the First Divine Envoy has ordered as well as you do?”
The blue-clad Prison Officer first gave him a displeased glance and then heh-heh’d, “The Divine has decreed, granting the National Guardian the power to open his own mansion, enter the Cabinet to listen and deliberate on state affairs! He has full control over the negotiations with the Outer Heaven Demon as well as the task of quelling the rebellion in Jingzhou! Since the National Guardian says he needs this Tian Xiang Divine Envoy to quell the rebellion, naturally, we must follow his instructions, and the prison chief has already sent a Flying Book to consult the First Divine Envoy, who said nothing.”
He then sighed inexhaustibly, “Once this news spread, the whole Luojing City was almost shaken. Now, all the officials and nobles in court are discussing this matter. This National Guardian is really something now, not unlike the former Crown Prince.”
The dark-faced prison officer was also secretly shocked, thinking that the East Abyss allowing this National Guardian to open a mansion was one thing, but to allow him to enter the Cabinet to listen and deliberate on affairs?
A figure like this has emerged in the Great Song Court? Is Lin Hao regarded with such trust by the East Abyss? What could be the reason? Is it just because Lin Hao is diligent and capable, having solved that blasphemy case?
Tian Xiang’s eyes lit up, but what she cared about wasn’t Lin Hao’s position or power.
Lin Hao was their Divine Sect’s contemporary King Ming, Light Heavenly Venerate! Regardless of any high-ranking official position he held within the Great Song, no matter how noble, it would be an unwise act to lower his status and dignity. They must quickly guide the Light Heavenly Venerate onto the right path.
What Tian Xiang cared about was that she could leave the ninth layer of the Divine Prison Department—this Black Prison from which no one has ever escaped.
At this moment, the blue-clad Prison Officer gestured to the many prison guards and the guards of the Divine Prison Department who followed him, “Send her over quickly, don’t keep the National Guardian waiting. He urged very urgently, so be sure to hurry, and once you arrive at Lin Mansion, be respectful and mindful to not court disaster, else beware of your heads!”
But, what the blue-clad Prison Officer didn’t know was that it was not only the officialdom of the Great Song that was shocked by the decree from the East Abyss but also the upper echelons of the entire Earth Federation.

Linghu Mingde, as the Second Rank Imperial Censor, learned some content of this divine court meeting from a Flying Book from the Divine Palace only two hours after the event, including the East Abyss’s rewards for Lin Rui, as well as Lin Rui’s request to open a commercial port, control the trade with Outer Heaven Demons, and the discussion about setting up an embassy in the ‘Heavenly Demon Origin’.
This could be a deliberate leak by the Divine Palace to signal to the outside world, or else how could the details of a divine court meeting leak so easily? Who in the Divine Palace would dare?
Linghu Mingde looked at the words spoken by Lin Rui in the letter, silent for a long time.
It wasn’t until about half an hour later that Linghu Mingde went to the window, his eyes full of hope and comfort as he gazed in the direction of Lin Mansion.
What he anticipated was the future of Sky Extreme Star and the Earth Federation, and he was comforted by Lin Rui’s pure sincerity.
The child hadn’t lost his way after coming so far; he was repaying the Great Song’s people in his own way.
Perhaps he truly is the hope of everyone on Sky Extreme Star and Earth Federation—
