Most of the Prisoners that were freed didn't work together. Even though they had a common enemy, they were still part of different factions.
Most of the independent prisoners rushed out of the Cellar Area without caring about others a single bit. They didn't care if others were free or not. More than that, they were worried about the Queen who might return.
Even though they hated her to the core, they knew that they couldn't do anything. They left that for others to handle and escaped.
On the other hand, the upright Warriors from Various Abolished Kingdoms stayed behind. Unlike the ones who escaped, they were wiser. They knew that strength was in numbers. The only way they could survive was if they freed every single Prisoner and worked together.
Even amongst the ones who stayed behind, the Kingdoms freed their own people and the Shadow Tower members freed their own people. They were willing to fight together, but all of them wanted to free their people at the earliest instead.
Not caring about them a single bit, Xu Shan reached the depths of the Cell.
Unlike the other cells, the last three cells were the most unique. No one could see through the metallic doors. There were no bars. It was like someone wanted to even cut off the access of light for these people, making sure that they spent the rest of their lives in eternal darkness.
Xu Shan stopped before the third floor, swinging his dagger to cut the lock. Unfortunately, the lock proved to be stronger than he anticipated.
After several unsuccessful attempts, he decided to try a different approach.
"It won't break." As Xu Shan stepped back, a heavy voice came from within the first cell.
"Is there a way to break the lock?" Xu Shan inquired, stepping closer to the cell.
The person on the other side of the door didn't reply. He remained seated with his back against the wall, looking at the darkness.
"The Queen's Blood," the person inside the Prison replied. "You can't free me. Let alone get the Queen's blood, even if you manage to get within five metres of her, I'd be surprised."
"The Queen's Blood?" Xu Shan repeated. His mind raced, thinking back to something.
He brought out a small vial of blood from his spatial storage. It was the blood he gathered from the Queen's sister to break the Restrictions on the Celestial Lotus, never expecting this was going to come in handy in this situation as well.
He opened the vial, and dropped only a single drop on the lock to test.
The blood fell on the lock. Even though it wasn't the Queen's Blood, it was still recognized as that. A clink resounded and the lock broke right before Xu Shan's eyes.
Even the person inside the Cell was taken aback to hear that sound. How could the person on the other side free him? How could he have the Queen's blood? Was he working with the Queen? Was it a trap? Many questions floated in his head.
As soon as Xu Shan opened the door, a figure stepped out. The figure belonged to an old man, whose hair had turned all white. The man was frail, being weakened a lot after all the time he spent in the cell.
His hands were still shackled, which further restricted his abilities.
The old man observed Xu Shan from top to bottom, before looking at the other end of the corridor. More and more prisoners were being freed from there.
"Why do you have the Queen's blood?" The old man asked Xu Shan, his eyes sharp enough to penetrate a person's soul.
"You don't have to concern yourself with that. If you don't like my help, you can get back in the cell. I'll be happy to lock you again," Xu Shan retorted with sarcasm. He didn't free the man from his shackles and moved to the other cell.
He used the same trick, using a single blood droplet to break the lock.
The second floor also opened. Unlike the old man's cell, the 2nd cell felt even more dangerous. It was filled with such terrifying killing intent, that even Xu Shan felt threatened.
"That's the previous Shadow Tower Master," the old man told Xu Shan, gazing at the person in the cell.
Unlike the old man, the person in the second cell still appeared young. Even with the Shackles around his hand that restricted his abilities and Celestial Spirit, he felt dangerous.
It was as if the man had bathed in the sea of blood. He had killed so many people that the aura around him was heavy and filled with death and blood.
Even after being freed, the Leader of the Shadow Tower didn't stand up. He didn't even open his eyes to see who freed him.
"Don't you want to leave?" Xu Shan asked the Shadow Tower Master.
The Shadow Tower Master still didn't open his eyes, as if he couldn't hear Xu Shan.
Xu Shan shook his head and stopped talking to the man. If he didn't want to get out, then he couldn't do anything. He just left the door open so the man could leave if he felt like it.
After that, he moved over to the third cell. This was the cell from where he was receiving a familiar feeling. As Xu Shan approached the third cell, he noticed the faint glow of a dimly lit lantern emanating outside the third cell.
"Who is in this cell?" he asked the white haired man who appeared to know a lot about the Prisoners here. If hel wasn't wrong, the old man was none other than the previous King of this Dynasty. He was the father of the person who was known as the Divine Queen.
The vicious woman didn't even leave his father and locked him up.
The white haired man shook his head. "I don't know. I'm also curious."
The old man also stepped closer to Xu Shan who used the Blood to open the third cell.
