With the summoning of the Heavenly Law Cage, Qin Ye and Guan Xinghe were taken into it.
Black City God raised his hand and beckoned, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
The Four-Square Cage, or rather, the Heavenly Law Cage, flew towards the distant horizon and steadily landed in Black City God's palm.
The Heavenly Law Cage wasn't large, roughly the size of two palms, square-shaped, forged from an unknown material, at first glance, it looked like a miniature model of an ancient prison.
Looking closely, inside the Heavenly Law Cage at this moment, there were two tiny figures. They were imprisoned in the cage, one of them wielding a sword, furiously slashing at the cage inside, attempting to break it open.
———
On the other side, inside the Heavenly Law Cage.
Guan Xinghe, after being captured, continuously wielded his sword, attacking the cage.
Qin Ye watched from the side, waved his hand, and said, "Stop slashing, this is the Heavenly Law Cage. A sword from the mortal realm cannot harm a divine treasure of the Celestial Realm."
As he spoke, Qin Ye rubbed his chin. "I was thinking about whether I could find an opening in the Heavenly Law Cage, then seek out the Earth Deity from within. But looking at it now, there's no need to think about that…"
Hearing these words, Guan Xinghe stopped wielding his sword, turned around, and looked over.
"Heavenly Law Cage? You…"
The term "Heavenly Law Cage" seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't immediately recall where he had heard it before. He instinctively wanted to ask Qin Ye what the Heavenly Law Cage was, but before he could ask, suddenly, Qin Ye and Guan Xinghe both sensed something and looked up.
Outside the Heavenly Law Cage, a pair of enormous eyes were peering through the cage bars, watching them.
At this moment, in their eyes, the giant eyes outside the cage belonged to a "giant," who was smiling while observing them. His gaze swept past Guan Xinghe and ultimately landed on Qin Ye inside the cage.
"It's really been a long time, you damned bastard."
Though they couldn't see the "giant's" full face, through his voice, Qin Ye's distant memories were awakened, and he recognized the "giant."
Qin Ye couldn't help but smile. "I was wondering how the Earth Deity dared to use the Heavenly Law Cage to capture me. So it's you, huh, Black City God."
His words paused slightly, and with the same smiling expression, he responded to Black City God. "It truly has been a long time. Never thought we'd meet again in this way."
Qin Ye glanced at the Heavenly Law Cage he was in, as if recalling something. He sighed and said, "Now I understand why Xiao Hei said that back then, you were so confident that you dared to come after me to kill me—was it because you had obtained the Heavenly Law Cage?"
"That's right." Black City God smiled, his voice carrying into the Heavenly Law Cage.
"I had no choice, you know? Dealing with a monster like you, defeating you head-on was too difficult. I could only resort to some underhanded tricks. Are you satisfied with my little gift?"
Qin Ye smiled and was about to say something. But at that moment, Guan Xinghe's voice interrupted their conversation.
"You are Black City God?" His gaze turned sharp, and the ancient bronze sword swirled around him. Even though he was imprisoned, his aura hadn't diminished.
Through Qin Ye and Black City God's conversation, Guan Xinghe finally remembered where he had heard of the Heavenly Law Cage before—it was mentioned in the report about the Fengdu County incident.
As one of the Ten Grandmasters of the 749 Bureau, Guan Xinghe had the authority to learn about the affairs of the Underworld and top-priority emergency incidents.
Among them, the Fengdu County incident was naturally included.
In the submitted report, the Heavenly Law Cage, Black City God, the Ghost Empress Yan Zhi, and the Ten Yama Seals were all mentioned.
"Oh? You know me?" Black City God's squinted eyes turned towards Guan Xinghe.
With Black City God's indirect confirmation, the ancient bronze sword surrounding Guan Xinghe let out a sharp ring. "How could I not recognize you? You nearly caused a great catastrophe in Fengdu County."
With these stern words, unlike Qin Ye, Guan Xinghe didn't show any goodwill. This was a figure who posed a great threat to the mortal realm—a dangerous individual. If he had the chance, he would want to eliminate him.
"You and Black City God have a grudge? He wants to kill you?"
Ignoring Black City God, Guan Xinghe turned to ask Qin Ye.
Qin Ye grinned, carefree and indifferent. "Consider it a deep-seated hatred. How should I put it? He wants nothing more than to strangle me to death."
Guan Xinghe nodded after hearing this. Then, without any more words, he pointed at the Heavenly Law Cage.
"In that case, instead of chatting with this menace, why don't we do something useful together?"
Guan Xinghe didn't keep him guessing and glanced at his phone in his pocket, which had no signal, and said directly.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let's join forces to break this Heavenly Law Cage and deal with Black City God first."
Ever since being locked in the Heavenly Law Cage, Guan Xinghe hadn't stopped trying to break it. He had been looking for a way to escape.
But after all his efforts, even without Qin Ye's explanation, he had realized that the Heavenly Law Cage was no ordinary object.
It was impossible to break it alone. And he couldn't contact the 749 Bureau either. No choice—this was a cage designed to imprison gods. How could anyone inside reach the outside?
The only method he could think of was to join forces with Qin Ye, who also had a grudge against Black City God, to break the Heavenly Law Cage together.
"You're not wrong. Talking with Black City God is indeed a waste of time—we should focus on something productive."
At this moment, Qin Ye nodded, acknowledging Guan Xinghe. Then, he casually sat down cross-legged and patted the empty spot beside him.
"Let's continue our previous conversation and ignore Black City God."
He said this while patting the space beside him, motioning for Guan Xinghe to sit.
"???" Guan Xinghe froze, his face twitching involuntarily.
'Given the current situation, you still have the mood to fuss about our conversation? Shouldn't we be working together against our common enemy?'
While Guan Xinghe was rendered speechless by Qin Ye's behavior, laughter rang out. Black City God chuckled as he looked at Qin Ye.
"You remain as unshaken as ever. But I wonder—are you really that calm, or are you just bluffing?"
Saying this, he turned to Guan Xinghe and smiled. "Your idea isn't bad. Under the current circumstances, you alone can't break it. The only way to break out is to join forces with that monster."
"But unfortunately, I admit that this guy is monstrously strong."
"Yet even someone as powerful as him, even if you two work together, it's impossible to break the Heavenly Law Cage—this is a prison crafted by the Celestial Court to imprison gods."
Black City God maintained his smiling expression. "Do you know the Great Sage Equal to Heaven? Ever since he caused havoc in the Celestial Palace and was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Buddha, the Celestial Court resolved to ensure that such an event never happened again."
"And to deter other gods, the Celestial Court created the Heavenly Law Cage, specifically designed to imprison divine beings. Its strength surpasses even the Five Elements Mountain of the Buddha—it can imprison gods and Buddhas alike."
Guan Xinghe fell silent. He wasn't sure if Black City God was telling the truth. He glanced sideways at Qin Ye. Seeing that Qin Ye did not refute, his heart sank. Qin Ye clearly knew about the Heavenly Law Cage.
Now, Black City God had explained it in detail, and Qin Ye didn't deny it—he was tacitly agreeing.
Guan Xinghe's expression turned solemn. Even if they joined forces, they couldn't break out. Then how were they supposed to escape the Heavenly Law Cage?
Black City God ignored Guan Xinghe's changing expression, glanced at Qin Ye, and said, "You should learn from that damned bastard—he realized he couldn't escape, so he just stayed put."
