Xiao Mu fell silent, his situation was very delicate, with a Netherlord from beyond the heavens pursuing him from behind and facing the strange "Drawing Ground as Prison" before him.

The person imprisoned in the cell was a great master, suspected to be the work of the Emperor.

After some thought, Xiao Mu said, "Senior, is the person in the prison really detained by the Heavenly Emperor?"

"Of course!"

Without any hesitation, Wu De, the Divine Monarch, said, "The power of the Drawn Prison is an authority of the Heavenly Emperor, apart from the Heavenly Emperor himself, who else possesses such authority..."

He didn't finish his sentence. Wu De suddenly realized that Xiao Mu had a similar authority in his hands.

Looking surprised, he asked Xiao Mu, "Xiao lad, where did you get those two treasures in your hands? How do you have the Heavenly Emperor's authority?"

"Senior, the Order Edict and the Seal are my Lifebound Treasures, both were refined by myself," Xiao Mu succinctly replied.

"Refined by yourself? How can it be refined? Can the Heavenly Emperor's authority be refined too?" the Divine Monarch Wu De found it hard to believe.

Xiao Mu didn't want to continue answering. There were too many secrets involved, and the more he explained, the more likely he was to encounter problems. "Senior, this is my personal privacy, please forgive me for not being able to share," he said.

"You kid..." Wu De cursed under his breath, yet he did not press the issue further.

However, he then added, "Considering the two treasures in your hands, you should have a great chance of breaking open the prison, but whether or not you should do so is for you to consider."

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree could break open the prison? Reliance must be that Supreme Intention, also known as the Heavenly Emperor's authority.

After a moment of thought, Xiao Mu inquired further, "Senior, who do you think might be imprisoned there?"

Wu De pondered for a moment, "It might be the Lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead, after all, this is the City of the Unjustly Dead."

"The Lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead, is this person from the Miaoyi Emperor's lineage?"

Xiao Mu's expression changed.

The Miaoyi Emperor's lineage meant it was from the Emperor's lineage, the Lord of Bai's Mansion's lineage, and the chances of them being friends with the Human world were far greater than enemies.

"It's hard to say, who knows if the Lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead hasn't betrayed the Miaoyi Emperor? His detention by the Heavenly Emperor's drawn prison likely indicates betrayal; otherwise, why would the Heavenly Emperor need to detain him?" said Wu De, sharing his thoughts and not favoring Xiao Mu's judgment.

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, "The person using the Heavenly Emperor's authority to 'Draw Ground as Prison' is not necessarily the Heavenly Emperor."

Wu De was about to refute, but stopped himself as the words reached his mouth.

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree that Xiao Mu held already confirmed the correctness of his statement.

Apart from Xiao Mu, there might indeed be others who could wield the Heavenly Emperor's authority.

Xiao Mu continued to speculate, "Even though this person is imprisoned, they're still repairing the Reincarnation Path. The Reincarnation Path was broken by the rebels of the Heavenly Court. This person's actions don't seem to be that of a rebel."

"What to do is up to you, whether or not to release the person. In any case, whoever is imprisoned in the Drawing Ground is definitely a great master," said Wu De, imparting no advice, just clearly stating the pros and cons. The master within the prison made even him wary.

"If he's not from the rebel faction, then he's a friend of our Human world. Life in the Human world is difficult enough, facing the Heavenly Court from beyond, we are almost powerless."

"The benefits of releasing this person outweigh the drawbacks," Xiao Mu became more and more resolute as he spoke, finally making up his mind. "I will release him."

Wu De could only sigh, "Just make your own decision, but be mentally prepared for the possibility that if the person inside is an enemy, neither of us will be able to escape."

Xiao Mu lapsed into silence again for a few seconds, but what ultimately prompted his decision was another Yellow Paper Crane flying out from the Drawn Prison.

The person was diligently repairing the Reincarnation Path nonstop, not resting even for a moment.

Just from the act of repairing the Reincarnation Path, it was impossible for this person to be from the Heavenly Court beyond, since it was precisely the Heavenly Court that had broken the Reincarnation Path.

"I've decided, release him!"

Xiao Mu was completely firm in his decision.

Wu De heaved a sigh, no longer persuading.

Xiao Mu stepped back slightly and pointed his hand toward the Drawn Prison.

Hum!

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree flew out together, the Supreme Intention cascading down, reaching the Light Circle of the Drawn Prison in the blink of an eye.

Sizzle!

The Supreme Intention from within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree, being of the same origin as the Supreme Intention within the Drawn Prison's Light Circle, met with no resistance upon contact, easily merging into it, passing through the Light Circle into the air above the prison.

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor hung in the air, started to rotate, and the Great Decree unfolded with a flutter.

Under the dominion of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, the authority of the Great Decree was clearly enhanced, the Supreme Intention surged out, and tiny golden characters formed on the surface of the Great Decree.

The tiny golden characters turned into an Imperial Edict, and each character seemed to emit a divine chant.

Countless divine chants interwoven together, the entire text surged out from the Great Decree like a will, sweeping over the Light Circle.

Boom!

The force of the Imperial Edict slammed into the Light Circle, attempting to destroy it.

Though the Light Circle was under attack, it showed no sign of rebounding.

The strength of the Light Circle faded bit by bit.

This situation lasted for about half an hour before, finally, with a resounding boom, under the onslaught of the Great Decree's released intent, the Light Circle shattered into nothingness.

Yellow Light burst from within the Light Circle, a formidable pressure spreading outwards, giving an overwhelming sense of irresistibility.

The powerhouse within the prison hadn't yet escaped their confines, but had already demonstrated astonishing strength.
