Chapter 2282

Blackwater Prison

Due to the short duration of the battle and the fact that it took place within the Deathtrap Array set up by Zhuowen, the Cao Clan wasn't alerted.

Zhuowen slowly walked over to Cao Xuanbing and said indifferently, "I have no enmity with your Cao Clan. I originally intended to talk nicely with you, but you're being overbearing. Tell me, where's Miss Zhiyuan?"

Cao Xuanbing's body trembled and he fell silent. He now knew that the gap between him and the young man before him was too great. If he dared to make the slightest move, he would be killed immediately.

Zhuowen knew that Cao Xuanbing wouldn't say anything, so he didn't say anything. He suddenly placed his right hand on Cao Xuanbing's head and began to search his soul.

Although Zhuowen's cultivation was slightly inferior to Cao Xuanbing's, his soul was much more powerful than Cao Xuanbing's. Coupled with the fact that Cao Xuanbing was heavily injured and powerless to resist, it wasn't difficult for Zhuowen to search his soul.

Zhuowen's gaze turned cold after he checked Cao Xuanbing's memories. Cao Xuanbing was truly vicious. He actually threw his own younger brother and niece into the Blackwater Prison for groundless crimes.

Zhuowen had obtained all of Cao Xuanbing's memories, so he naturally knew that Cao Xuanbing had set up all of this to frame Cao Feng and Cao Zhiyuan. His goal was to completely eliminate his second brother who was a threat to his position as the Patriarch of the Cao Clan, as well as everyone related to him.

Zhuowen also learned about the Blackwater Prison from Cao Xuanbing's memories. He knew that the Blackwater Prison was extremely vicious.

"Take me to the Blackwater Prison if you don't want to die!" Zhuowen said coldly.

Cao Xuanbing's body trembled. He hurriedly said respectfully, "Junior dares not. Junior will take senior to the Blackwater Prison right away!"

At this moment, Cao Xuanbing's heart was filled with bitterness. The young man before him was extremely powerful, and even his soul was terrifying. Cao Xuanbing had actually searched his soul so easily just now. He knew that it would be extremely easy for this person to destroy his soul.

Cao Xuanbing didn't have the slightest bit of hope when facing such a terrifying expert.

As he spoke, Cao Xuanbing respectfully led Zhuowen into the depths of the Cao family.

Along the way, the members of the Cao Family all bowed to Cao Xuanbing. At the same time, they looked at the young man in white behind Cao Xuanbing with surprise.

As long as one was not a fool, one could tell that Cao Xuanbing was extremely respectful and respectful to the white-clothed young man behind him. Many members of the Cao Family were guessing Zhuowen's background.

Soon, they arrived at the Blackwater Prison. Cao Xuanbing stood outside the gate and pointed at a huge black mountain in front of them. "Senior, the Blackwater Prison is right ahead."

"Bring me in. If anything happens to the kite, don't blame me for being impolite!" Zhuowen said indifferently.

Cao Xuanbing's heart skipped a beat. He groaned inwardly. He hoped that Cao Zhiyuan hadn't been punished yet. Otherwise, he would really be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuanbing hurriedly brought Zhuowen into the black mountain.

Cao Xuanbing was the head of the Cao Family, so he didn't encounter any obstacles when entering the Blackwater Prison.

The interior of the Blackwater Prison was a black stone passageway that extended in all directions. Cao Xuanbing walked very quickly and arrived at a stone hall.

At this moment, the stone hall was heavily guarded. There were groups of guards guarding it. In the middle of the stone hall, a pale woman was hung up.

Zhuowen took a closer look. Wasn't this woman Cao Zhiyuan?

"Head of the Cao Family, why are you here?"

A bald man with a large saber came before Cao Xuanbing respectfully. His eyes were filled with confusion.

Slap!

Cao Xuanbing slapped the bald man's face, knocking him to the ground.

"How dare you tie up my niece here? Do you not respect me, the head of the Cao Family?" Cao Xuanbing shouted himself hoarse.

The bald man was stunned. He thought to himself, Isn't this your order, Head of the Cao Family?

Just as he was about to argue, Cao Xuanbing slapped him again. This time, the bald man's chin was cracked. The poor bald man didn't even know what happened before he fell unconscious on the ground.

"Senior, it's my subordinate's fault. He actually locked up Zhiyuan behind my back. If senior is still angry, I'll kill him for you!" Cao Xuanbing turned around and cupped his hands towards Zhuowen with a flattering smile.

Cao Xuanbing's humble attitude shocked everyone in the stone hall. Even Cao Zhiyuan, who was hung up, was shocked.

Everyone in the Cao Family knew how strong Cao Xuanbing's personality was. No one dared to disobey Cao Xuanbing, and Cao Xuanbing wouldn't allow anyone to disobey him. It was even more impossible for him to be so humble in front of others.

But now, Cao Xuanbing was actually acting so submissive in front of a young white-clothed youth in front of everyone. This truly shocked everyone.

Cao Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes finally landed on the white-clothed young man. Especially when she saw his face, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Big Brother Zhuo, you …"

Cao Zhiyuan had mixed feelings. She knew that Zhuowen was quite strong and had killed the experts of the Shark Slaughtering Fleet. However, whether it was the thin man or the strong man, their cultivation didn't exceed the sixth step of the Void Sky Stage.

Zhuowen's cultivation was only at the sixth step of the Void Sky Stage. The gap between him and Cao Xuanbing, who was at the eighth step of the Void Sky Stage, was not small.

But now, Cao Xuanbing was speaking so humbly to Zhuowen. Cao Zhiyuan knew that there was only one possibility, and that was that this Zhuowen was definitely stronger than Cao Xuanbing. Otherwise, Cao Xuanbing wouldn't have shown such a respectful expression.

Zhuowen glanced at Cao Xuanbing indifferently. He knew that this old man was putting on an act for him to see.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and put Zhiyuan down!"

Cao Xuanbing saw that Zhuowen didn't reply, so he tactfully shouted at the others in the stone hall.

After Cao Xuanbing shouted, the stone hall immediately became lively. Two of the soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and put Cao Zhiyuan down, then brought her to Cao Xuanbing.

"Zhiyuan, your uncle didn't manage things well and caused you to suffer. How about this, your uncle won't let you suffer. Whatever compensation you want, your uncle will fulfill your wish!"

Cao Xuanbing looked kindly at Cao Zhiyuan. His voice was filled with deep concern.

Unfortunately, Cao Zhiyuan completely ignored him. She looked at Cao Xuanbing and said coldly, "I don't want anything. I only want you to immediately release my father. In the future, my father and I will have nothing to do with your Cao Clan."

Ever since she found out that Cao Xuanbing had schemed to harm her father, no one in the Cao Clan had pleaded for her father or said a word of justice. Cao Zhiyuan was thoroughly disappointed in the Cao Clan. She decided that after saving her father, she would leave the Cao Clan.

"You heard what Miss Zhiyuan said, right? Release her father!" Zhuowen said indifferently.

Cao Xuanbing revealed a difficult expression. However, under Zhuowen's cold gaze, he could only nod and agree.

"Come with me!"
