Hearing Nightmare say this, Patriarch Li became alert, nodded, and followed Nightmare deeper into the prison.
As they delved further into the prison, they could see many prisoners locked up on either side, some of whom were once renowned patriarchs in Central Plains.
"Is this... Patriarch Wang? How could he be imprisoned here?"
Patriarch Li discovered in one cell an elderly man, tattered in clothing, pale-faced, and somewhat deranged, but quickly recognized his identity.
"Do you know each other?" Nightmare asked suspiciously, looking at Patriarch Li.
"Not acquainted, just a face I've seen. Back then, he was so popular that Tang Xuanze didn't even have his fame," Patriarch Li said cautiously.
"This guy killed two of our stewards, so I captured him and imprisoned him here to suffer a lifetime of incarceration," Nightmare said.
