Start of Turmoil

Mo Dao was inside the space crack. Law of space was permeating throughout his body evolving it towards the body of law which is a basic requirement for tribulation of laws.

SWOOSH CRACK

As Mo Dao opened his eyes after comprehension all the broken pieces of space rejoined and sealed the crack back.

[Laws:- Severance(8%), Space(48%)]

[Origin points-0]

Mo Dao dispersed the domain and spread his divine sense covertly. The shift was about to end and all guards were feeling relaxed. A few minutes later new guards arrived and old ones took their leave.

Mo Dao squinted his eyes, among the nine new guards only Xi Ping was from his underlings others were unknown faces. Mo Dao's eyes drooped and face became expressionless. His plan got wrecked before it even began. Previously only five guards were deployed in this chamber but now nine guards arrived for the post that proves something went massively wrong. He didn't recieved any notifications about death of his underlings which means they're still alive but to Mo Dao they're more useless than shit

"So unreliable." Mo Dao muttered and disappeared

The nine guards who took their posts and Xi Ping whose eyes rolled in search of Mo Dao stiffened, Mo Dao suddenly appeared among them and before they could deploy their domains he swiped his hands horizontally

SWISS SLASH

Eight heads flew up but next second their bodies, heads, blood everything disappeared without a sound. Mo Dao exiled them in deep space without the help of a Saint even a alive Grandmaster can't return from there let alone a dead one

BAM

Mo Dao lifted Xi Ping by neck and bashed his head in the wall,

"What the hell went wrong speak."

Looking at Mo Dao's murderous eyes Xi Ping narrated everything in one breath

"My post was already in this chamber so I didn't followed them to bribe the scribe but from what I heard they got caught by Saint Qin and were taken away for interrogation."

BAM

"Koff..koff."

Mo Dao dropped Xi Ping and started thinking in silence, Mo Dao needed them so he can cautiously execute each steps but Saint Qin might have already sent envoy to report in imperial castle so he can't wait anymore

"Which direction is special prison."

"At the right of 7th chamber."

"Hold the fort."

ZOOM

Mo Dao disappeared and entered deep space. After passing the 7th chamber Mo Dao entered the special prisons where Peak Grandmasters are Imprisoned. Thick iron gates encased all the cells and inside each cell contained only one prisoner.

Seven guards were patrolling the area and Mo Dao felt presence of laws from each of them while not as strong compared Mo Dao but all of them were easily on par with Gu Zhang and some were far stronger than him.

ZOOM

Mo Dao disappeared and reappeared behind one of the guards, he placed his hands on his head

CRACK BOOM

the head exploded like a watermelon and he died instantly

SWISS

at the same time multiple space needles petruted from different places pointing towards the backheads of all six guards and pierced them

SWISS

CRACK BAM

as soon as the needles entered their heads they exploded directly killing them all but

BOOOM

A fiery punch blasted in Mo Dao's guts sending him screeching on the metallic floor

The eyes of Guard was filled with astonishment and bewilderment, he'd used full strength along with laws but it was totally ineffective

BOOOOOM

His domain expanded full of lava and fire, opposite to him Mo Dao covered his hands with space law and swiped vertically. All the lava and fire was divided in two along with the guard.

Six had died together and he was the last one. Mo Dao packed them in the shortest time but he isn't sure if the saints were alarmed or not

CLANK BOOM

Mo Dao directly uprooted the door and threw aside, inside a burly old man sat cross legged, his whole body was wrapped in thick chains. As he entered the old man looked at Mo Dao curiously

"Listen old thing I'll say it once, surrender or die."

The old man was baffled, what a rude fellow is that how one talks to their elders. For fuck sake I'm a Peak Grandmaster who's lived for four centuries but he spoke with excitement

"I surrender."

Mo Dao placed his hands on head

[Branding a Grandmaster-100000 evil points]

"Do it"

The brand was established

CRACK BOOM

"Ahh" As Mo Dao unsealed his cultivation the old man let out a soft moan, the feeling of strength after being caged for so long was intoxicating

Mo Dao moved for next cell

CLANK BOOM

Mo Dao did the same thing and released 18 peak Grandmasters. Some were from other Empire while many belonged to demonic sects. As they all assembled before Mo Dao he started speaking

"You're going to release all the prisoners from seven chambers and break out of the prison. There're two saints present, I'll hold one back and other one can't leave his post in that span lead all of them in capital and cause a massacre. Kill as much as possible and make sure those goons do the same. You can run away if a saint arrives but atleast kill five grandmasters before escaping otherwise I'll detonate the soul brand and you'll all die. For now recuperate. You don't have any other choice either do as I say and there'll be chance for survival or die now by my hands."

All of them silently recuperated, since Mo Dao made things clear there was no point in courting death anyway all of them have lived for a few centuries atleast what kind of wind and rain they haven't faced. They're ready to die if time comes not for Mo Dao but to survive and there was atleast a way to survive

After about five minutes Mo Dao led them towards the chambers

"I don't care how you do it but don't alert main building before you escape the prison."

SCRATCH

Mo Dao looked at the corpse of a peak Grandmaster and tore the shoulder skin from it. There was a peculiar runic symbol on the skin. Mo Dao stored it in space ring and dawned the clothes of a dead guard.

The 18 underlings also moved towards the chambers. They're all Peak Grandmasters but even for them it isn't easy to assassinate all the guards without making a ruckus unlike Mo Dao they haven't comprehended Space laws.

Mo Dao sensed the soul brand and it pointed towards the main building of prison.

SWISS

Mo Dao disappeared and teleported before the main building. There was no guard but the gate was covered by Runic symbols. Mo Dao can easily bypass it using Space laws but might put him in a passive position its better to drag Saint Qin outside

Mo Dao placed the runic mark on the gate but it didn't opened, Mo Dao guessed since the guard died this mark has become waste

HUFF

Mo Dao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, when he opened them again they were serene and clear without any ripple. Mo Dao unleashed his battle awareness and focused on sensing the soul brands inside the building.

SLASH WHIP SLASH WHIP

Inside the building nine people were lined up in kneeling position. Their cultivation was sealed and they were being whipped severely by a fiery whip covered in thorns. Before them sat a unkempt looking man nibbling down on a fruit in a rough manner. He was none other than Sain Qin.

Qin Wuxin went to his scribe in morning but a peculiar happening caught his eye, seven people wanted to transfer their posts in another chamber which was very common but all of them wanted to be posted in 5th chamber. Qin Wuxin got curious and asked the reason which stumped them and no one answered, then he tried to resonate his soul brand with their own but there was no response which alarmed him. One needs to understand he is also an Imperial Guard and all soul brands place in them came from the same source, a saint can use it to resonate with the underlings but after not getting any response he checked their consciousness and there was a new soul brand placed on them, the previous one had disappeared.

Qin Wuxin immediately caught them and sent an envoy to the Imperial castle to report. He started a short torture but it was futile, the brand from panel is different than normal soul brand of a saint, in case of slightest betrayal it'll explode instantly. Qin wuxin wanted to step up the torture and capture their families but

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

several heads exploded in succession painting the whole room in red and yellow. Qin Wuxin's face turned cold and his divine sense exploded searching for perpetrator.

BOOOM

Two divine senses collided creating a small explosion, outside the building Mo Dao smirked when his eyes met with saint Qin through divine sense and both their murderous intent boiled in their eyes.
