Chapter 113 - 21: Desperate Demon Prison, Yan Country’s Elder (Seeking Subscriptions!!)
Blackwind Demons Prison.
This place is gloomy and terrifying, with an atmosphere as heavy as water.
Zhao Huai, disguised as Boar Zhu Ganglie, appeared in the prison, and the little demons guarding the prison respectfully saluted him.
“Greetings, Commander!”
“Greetings, Commander!”
Here, Zhu Ganglie is the absolute boss, having the final say.
Zhao Huai carried a woman, walking along a long corridor.
He stared at the imprisoned people and demons in the cells, passing by iron doors one after another.
He found that besides the human race, there were also offending demons locked up here, where the status of humans and demons was the same.
The demons of the Tianmu Mountain would often come down the mountain to loot pedestrians, merchant teams of surrounding states and counties, lone cultivators, and no one could escape their clutches.
The eradication of Blackwind Cave is urgent.
When that day finally comes, these people in the prison must be released.
Zhao Huai thought to himself.
These people being raised here could only serve as food for demons or become slaves, and their fate was usually miserable.
“Commander, where did you catch this tender-looking human race woman? She looks delicious.” The cat demons guarding the sides eyed the silver-haired woman on Zhao Huai’s shoulder, their green eyes glittering with greed.
Hearing this, Zhao Huai coldly glared back, murderous intent appearing as his oppressive aura swept over them.
The cat demons, feeling the pressure, retreated hastily with fear on their faces.
They quickly realized in their hearts that this person was claimed by the commander, and they had no chance of getting a share.
They could only watch with envy from behind.
Zhao Huai found a relatively clean single cell and gently placed the woman inside.
Compared to the outside, this was already the safest place.
“Hmm… ”
Yin Nanyu left Zhao Huai’s warm shoulder and lay on the cold floor, murmuring softly. She slowly opened her eyes and saw everything around her clearly.
The cold, gloomy environment, the flickering light from a solitary oil lamp in the pitch-black cave, she realized at a glance that this was a prison.
Was I captured by the Xia Country’s people?
Didn’t I escape?
Yin Nanyu subconsciously wondered.
With so many believers committing suicide and exploding their Qi Sea, she had enough time to flee, but she still ended up in a prison cell?
Suddenly, she noticed a tall figure standing in front of her, with a grotesque pig head.
A demon?
She was startled, almost failing to react.
“Stay put.”
Zhao Huai said in a muffled voice. Since he was still disguised as the commander, hiding in the Blackwind Cave, he couldn’t take her with him.
He guessed that she might be a sect disciple who had encountered some danger and had thus fallen here.
Being meddlesome wasn’t his style, but there was a difference between this and not helping someone in need. It didn’t hurt to lend a hand along the way.
He was about to leave after he finished speaking.
Yin Nanyu watched his retreating figure, as if understanding something.
The cat demons guarding the corridor, as well as the pig demon she had just encountered, indicated that she was in a place occupied by demons. She wondered what remote wilderness she had fallen into, surrounded by so many demons.
Was she captured by demons to be used as food?
Yin Nanyu thought that once she regained her True Vigor, she could escape from here.
However, she soon discovered that her cultivation had been sealed by someone!
Now she was an ordinary mortal, but there was still hope if she could mobilize the power of the Crow Immortal.
Unfortunately, the statue of the Crow Immortal had shattered when she dealt with the Limitless Immortal Sect gatekeeper.
For the first time, the typically dominant Yin Nanyu felt a sense of despair.
Gazing at the cold prison, the Holy Maiden of the Raven Sect, Yin Nanyu, closed her eyes.
A jade hand with a scab trembled as it pulled a poison pill from a sleeve, tightly clutching it.
It was the pill she intended to use to end her life.
Her dignity and belief would never allow her to become food for demons, a prisoner in their jail, a toy for their torment.
She closed her eyes and tears rolled down from her eyes, slid from her nostrils, and flowed to her mouth.
Unfulfilled ambition… her heart was full of regret.
Just as she was about to swallow the poison pill, a big hand grabbed her wrist.
Looking up, she saw that it was the pig demon from before.
What Zhao Huai worried the most had happened, so when he left just now, he deliberately paid attention to see if this woman would do something foolish.
Now, it seemed like she had hidden something indeed.
Zhao Huai took the poison pill from her hand, transmitted his voice using True Vigor, and whispered softly:
“Live well. ”
It was his own voice.
Is this a demon or a human?!
Hearing the completely different voice, Yin Nanyu’s eyes revealed disbelief as she watched Zhao Huai get up and leave.
Zhao Huai stood in the corridor, with many people imprisoned in the jail were looking, at him, including various gazes, some numb, some hateful, and some facing death calmly.
These people were from various states and counties, caught by various means and brought here to become food for demons.
Among them, an old man in a black robe caught Zhao Huai’s attention.
His position was diagonally opposite the silver-haired woman.
Although the elder’s hair had turned white, his eyes were sharp, incomparably profound, and contained an indescribable calmness, along with a scholarly demeanor.
He seemed like a learned old man with a lot of knowledge.
Zhao Huai merely glanced at him before walking straight away. The air suddenly fell silent, only the flickering flames on the wall.
“Miss, what did the demon say to you?”
The old man in the black robe spoke up, leaning against the wall, staring at Yin Nanyu in front of him and smiling faintly.
As if he was not in a prison at all but some other place, the smile was quite confident.
“Who are you?”
Yin Nanyu, who had received Zhao Huai’s assurance, temporarily suppressed her doubts and stared at the old man before asking a question in return.
“Who am I…” The old man in the black robe seemed to be sentimental, slowly saying, “I’ve thought about this question for a long time. If it was three years ago when Yan Country still existed, I could say without hesitation who I was. But now, after hiding for so long, I don’t know who I am anymore.”
Listening to the answer, which was seemingly both right and wrong, Yin Nanyu couldn’t help but frown.
She eventually chose to remain silent and didn’t want to engage with him more.
“It seems that you really wanted to die just now; you must really want to get out of here,” the old man in the black robe said with a light chuckle.
“What’s it to you?”
Yin Nanyu answered coldly.
As a dignified Saintess, how could she be talked to like this on any ordinary day?
“You’re tough, but I’ll tell you this: being tough isn’t useful here because the quickest to die are the tough ones.”
The old man in the black robe was very clever. At a glance, he saw that Yin Nanyu was not simple, so he took the initiative to talk about the situation here, trying to win her curiosity and take the initiative.
“What do you want?”
For the first time, Yin Nanyu realized the old man’s intention, took a breath, and asked calmly.
The old man in the black robe nodded. It seemed that she was a smart person, his gaze deep as he said, “You must want to leave here even more than me since you’re a cultivator. I have a plan; you might want to consider it.”
At this moment, a cat demon soldier heard the noise and ran over, scolding:
“Stop jabbering! If you keep talking, we’ll eat you all tomorrow!”
The cat demon looked very unhappy. If it weren’t for pig commander’s instructions earlier, it would really want to eat these guys right now.
Soon, the cat demon grumbled back to its post.
Yin Nanyu looked at the old man in front of her, seemingly deep in thought.
