"The Prison Sect?"
Upon hearing those words,
They certainly knew of the Prison Sect.
The Prison Sect was comprised of those who wore crimson robes and white conical hats, and who specifically targeted children of exceptional talent, planting monstrous creatures inside their bodies.
After those monstrous creatures were planted, the geniuses would often become idiots.
In truth,
However, whether due to his unique constitution or Grandmother Yuan's interventions, Song Yun had not turned into a fool — though he had still suffered greatly from the affliction.
"We have heard of the Prison Sect."
"
A sudden sense of foreboding washed over Chu Feng.
"Yes. It is indeed someone from the Prison Sect," Grandmother Yuan said.
"Someone from the Prison Sect — he can cure Yun'er?"
Before Chu Feng could even ask, Fairy Dao Hai had already voiced her own concern. One look at her expression revealed that even she harbored deep wariness toward the Prison Sect.
"Since you are aware of the Prison Sect, you should know of the Hell Envoy's deeds."
"They are indeed devoid of all conscience, having harmed countless children."
"And the thing inside Yun'er's body was planted by him."
"But what happened with Yun'er was different from the other children."
"The Hell Envoy of the Prison Sect did not act directly. Instead, he told me that Yun'er's condition was highly unusual — that if left unchecked, his life would be forfeit — but that he could help prolong Yun'er's life."
"At the time, Yun'er's condition was indeed dire, and I was at my wit's end, so I agreed."
"I was extremely worried at first, but after he planted that thing inside Yun'er, his condition truly improved significantly."
"Perhaps because of Yun'er's uniqueness — being more suited to the Prison Sect's requirements — he has maintained contact with me over the years."
"He said that if Yun'er's condition worsened, I could seek him out, and he would be able to help treat Yun'er."
"So I know where he currently is," Grandmother Yuan said.
"So you truly intend to seek out someone from the Prison Sect?" Sacred Light Whitebrow asked. Gone was the defiance from before; fear had taken its place on his face.
"I have no desire to deal with them either, but under the current circumstances, only he can save Yun'er," Grandmother Yuan said.
"Absolutely not. The Prison Sect is far too dangerous. If you want to go, go by yourself."
Sacred Light Whitebrow shook his head repeatedly, then turned to Chu Feng as he spoke: "Young Hero Chu Feng, we cannot go with her."
"In truth, the Prison Sect only covets children of extraordinary talent. Once one passes that age, they lose all interest. As long as we keep our mouths shut, he won't harm us."
"After all, if the Prison Sect truly slaughtered indiscriminately, the entire Eastern Region would have been devastated long ago."
"Of course, if any of you feel uncomfortable, you can find a place to wait for me. I'll take Yun'er to him myself," Grandmother Yuan said.
"Actually, I'd like to see the Prison Sect's people for myself. Senior, I'll accompany you," Chu Feng said.
"Well… Fine, fine. If Young Hero Chu Feng is going, then let's all go together. I refuse to believe that in the Eastern Region, an outsider could do anything to us."
Seeing that Chu Feng intended to go, Sacred Light Whitebrow immediately changed his tune.
In truth, Chu Feng could tell that Sacred Light Whitebrow feared the Prison Sect's people. That was why Chu Feng later tried to persuade them that they didn't need to come along. But Sacred Light Whitebrow was incredibly stubborn and insisted on accompanying them.
