The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C329

Chapter 329: Wan’er, feeling of despair

In the dimly lit dungeon, only a few faint oil lamps provided minimal illumination.

On both sides of the narrow corridor stood fences crafted from fine iron. Each cell had enchantments that suppressed spiritual energy and sealed off energy channels.

Su Wan’er, with disheveled hair, leaned against the wall of her small solitary chamber, observing two spiders weaving their webs in the corner of the room.

“Hey…”

“…”

“Hey, beautiful.”

A man in the opposite cell, appearing older, greeted Su Wan’er with a smile as he held onto the bars.

Su Wan’er, initially reluctant to engage, found herself bored enough to respond. “What do you want?”

“You’ve been here for over half a month, not saying a word. I’m worried you might do something desperate,” The man said with concern.

Su Wan’er rolled her eyes and replied loftily, “Do you think I’m like you?”

“Ho~” The man raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you know where you are, beauty?”

“What place? The Heavenly Execution Court’s dungeon,” Su Wan’er replied matter-of-factly.

“That’s not quite it,” The man chuckled. “I’ve been here for years. Let me tell you, when someone enters here, they shouldn’t expect to be picked up.”

“What?” Su Wan’er was puzzled.

“Are you pretending to be dumb, or are you really clueless?” The man sighed, then continued, “Let me explain. If someone comes to get you, first, it’ll be two disciples from the Heavenly Execution Court. They’ll ask if you’re hungry. If you say yes, they’ll bring you a feast. When you’re full and happy, they’ll ask you to follow them out, and they’ll put a hood over your head…”

“…”

“You will feel like you’re being taken to the street, with the chatter of Tianan City cultivators filling your ears. After walking about two or three hundred steps, the Heavenly Execution Court disciple leading you will ask you to stop. Another person will then take you into a small room. At this point, someone will remove the hood, take a look, and without saying a word, nod before putting it back on for you…”

“Then, two people will grab your shoulders and tie you to a pillar. The cultivators will discuss you in front of you. Finally…”

Amelia Su swallowed nervously. “Finally!”

Suddenly, the man raised his voice, causing the corridor’s oil lamps to flicker and dim,

Bang! A golden feather arrow will pierce your chest. You will feel unbearable pain, unable to scream. Memories of your past deeds will replay in your mind. You will think of your friends and family. Your throat will taste like rust, and your consciousness will blur…”

“You won’t have a tombstone or a coffin. Vultures will peck at your eyeballs, maggots will crawl through your body, spiders will nest in your belly, and wolves will devour your thighs… until only a pile of bones remains, and then…”

Hearing this, Su Wan’er shuddered and quickly grabbed a piece of gravel, smashing it towards the man’s forehead.

Boom–

The stone hit the man’s forehead, causing his head to jerk back. Blood trickled down his forehead, but the man laughed hysterically,

“Ah ha ha ha–”

“Shut up!!”

“Hahaha–”

… …

Watching the deranged man, Su Wan’er felt a twinge of fear and quickly moved to the corner of her cell, hugging her knees tightly.

That was what one would look like after being imprisoned here for sixty years.

Su Wan’er glanced at the man’s face and couldn’t help but imagine herself in his place. Would she end up like that after sixty years?

No way!

She also aspired to rule over the four domains and be a carefree immortal who could roam freely.

How did she end up in such a place?

But…

Su Wan’er glanced around the cell.

Though she had never been inside, this was her first time in such an impenetrable cell. High-level restrictions were in place, and her meridians were sealed, leaving her without spiritual energy. She couldn’t use her escape techniques, nor could she employ the Star Reaching Technique. There were no usable talismans or magical artifacts available. Even the mysterious jade bell from before had vanished without a trace…

In an instant, a sense of despair washed over her. Su Wan’er regretted her actions deeply. If she hadn’t tried to exploit the boy named Ye for profit, she might be living luxuriously somewhere else now. How could she find herself stuck in such a grim and gloomy place…

Wuwuwu——

Su Wan’er felt like crying. She even thought about clinging to the fence and calling the guards to seek justice, just to find a way to survive. But she knew that with the testimony of the young master of the Xuanxing Sect and the manipulation by the boy named Ye, her case was unlikely to be overturned.

As Su Wan’er wracked her brains, pondering how to redeem herself…

Tread——

The sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Two disciples from the Heavenly Execution Court, in the Foundation Establishment Stage, carrying long lanterns, approached the door of her cell. Using a jade talisman, they opened her door and entered.

The lead individual extracted a document from the storage bag unfolded it, glanced at it, compared it with Su Waner’s face, and confirmed,

“Su Waner!”

“Yes…” Su Waner shrank her neck, nodding slightly. “What’s up? Where’s Liang Zhu?”

The two Heavenly Execution Court officers didn’t respond to her inquiry, merely asking,

“Do you fancy anything to eat?”

Su Waner’s eyes narrowed, shifting her gaze behind the two. She spotted the crazy man gripping the bars, his eyebrows raised in a smirk.

“Beauty, do you recall when you last ate? Hahaha—”

Laughter echoed in the cramped dungeon, drawing other inmates to their respective cell gates, hoping for a share of food.

“Beauty, help me order some Jade Dragon Steamed Buns from Tianan City.”

“Miss, I’d like a glass of Yuqiong Immortal Brew~~ By the way.”

“I’ll have a sweet-skinned roast chicken… Fairy, consider it a last act of kindness before we depart, preparing something tasty for us inmates.”

These cultivators in the core formation stage had long forsaken eating. Yet, as humans, they couldn’t escape the desires for “eating, drinking, whoring, gambling.” In their current predicament, eating and drinking had become their sole tangible desires.

The two Heavenly Execution Court disciples seemed accustomed to this and didn’t intervene.

Listening to the cheers in the dungeon, Su Waner hesitated, finally speaking softly,

“No! Why… Weren’t you supposed to transfer me to the Southern Territory Crime Department? How…”

“No transfer. We’ll execute you on the spot,” One of the disciples replied coldly.

“What? That’s not what we agreed upon!! I want to see Liang Zhu! I have something to tell him.”

“Then… Would you like something to eat?”

“You have Liang Zhu come over!!”

The two disciples exchanged a glance, then retrieved a rag and hood from the storage bag, tying Su Waner’s hands with the Immortal Binding Lock, gagging her, and covering her head.

“Wuwuwu! Wuwuwu—”

Each disciple took a side, lifting Su Waner, dragging her off the ground, and carrying her out,

“Master Liang is waiting at the execution ground. You’ll see him later, naturally. Just to inform you, the execution was ordered by Master Liang and approved by Deputy Commander Yue.”

“Wuwu! Wuwuwuwu!! Wuwuwuwu—”
