Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1246: Top-Secret Technique

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Top-Secret Technique

Late at night, the dark and damp dungeon held several thousand people, packed so tightly that they had no space to sit and rest, and could only stand crowded together, even when sleeping.

They had been imprisoned for so long, unable to eat or sleep well, their faces were sallow and their bodies were emaciated and exhausted. Without others to lean against, they would likely collapse to the ground.

With a "crack," the dungeon’s iron lock was opened, and everyone who heard the sudden sound shuddered, their faces showing expressions of fear.

Ye You, in a black robe with disheveled dark gray hair, slowly walked down the stairs. The staircase was long, and the heavy sound of footsteps echoed continuously in the silent dungeon, making hearts tremble.

Four people followed behind him.

The first person had a graceful figure, her pink gown fluttering like a butterfly, bright eyes like water, and charming red lips. She was ng Yu, who had narrowly escaped death many tis.

After the defeat in Biyun City and the failure in Flower Fragrance City, Ye You was now her only hope.

Behind her were three Heavenly Body mbers.

The thirteen Earth Demons under Ye You had been defeated entirely, and only three Heavenly Body mbers remained: the Fourth Heavenly Body, Sixth Heavenly Body, and Seventh Heavenly Body.

The outside magic warriors had weak power and were insignificant, only the four people following him were nearly all of his reliance.

Therefore, tonight, he planned to impart his closely guarded secret technique to them, allowing both their and his magic power to improve significantly in a short period.

Among the thousands detained in the dungeon, two-thirds belonged to the Jiuxi Royal Family’s branches.

As the rulers of the Demon Sacred Realm, there were naturally powerful magic figures within the Jiuxi Royal Family’s branches, who either beca senior managers assisting the Sage Ruler in governing the Wang City or even the Demon Sacred Realm, or entered the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle as magic teachers like Teacher Huo Huan. Although lacking lofty authority, they had more opportunities to reach higher magic levels.

However, even in the most powerful magic families, the descendants might not all possess outstanding talents. Those with average talents generally ended up in minor positions within Wang City, often marrying those of similar status.

After several generations, these individuals would blend into the masses, and no one would rember they were descendants of the Jiuxi Royal Family.

Survival of the fittest applied everywhere.

After Ye You killed his brother and took the throne, he initially behaved mildly and generously, causing the Jiuxi Royal Family to lower their guard, confidently waiting, believing that once Ye You returned, Ye You would truly relinquish the throne.

Once he gained respite, Ye You began capturing Jiuxi Royal Family’s managers one by one into the dungeon within the royal palace, using the slow-boil thod.

By the ti soone realized sothing was wrong, it was too late.

Every dawn and dusk, Ye You would have soone light a poisonous incense in the dungeon, preventing those detained from using magic power due to its influence, leaving them trapped miserably.

Aside from the Jiuxi Royal Family, the other people were targeted because their magic power was relatively strong, making them tools for Ye You to enhance his magic.

"Watch closely," Ye You said to the four behind him with an eerie tone, then randomly grabbed a person from the dungeon.

This person was at the Magic Spirit level and had a considerable status in Wang City, but now, terror filled his face as he desperately struggled, but in vain.

Ye You looked at him indifferently as if he wasn’t holding a person at all.

One hand fixed the man’s body while the other hand gathered magic power and struck a spot three inches below his navel.

"Ah—" The man let out a desperate wail, sweat and tears streaming down, his body as weak as a rag.

The magic source within him was being absorbed by Ye You bit by bit, radiant strands of magic light seeping into Ye You’s palm and passing to the magic source.

ng Yu and the three Heavenly Body mbers were initially surprised, but when they saw Ye You’s subsequent actions, their eyes widened in shock, and then their expressions turned excited.

Indeed, no wonder Ye You’s magic power had increased so rapidly. This thod was simply perfect, requiring neither arduous practice nor spending Spirit Stones on elixirs; just capturing a person sufficed.

As for the harm done to others, it was beyond their consideration.

A quarter of an hour later, the man’s magic source was finally completely absorbed, and Ye You casually pushed him to the ground, prompting soone to drag him back into the dungeon.

Having a destroyed magic source only ant losing magic power, becoming an ordinary person, but not death.

The Sixth Heavenly Body asked puzzledly, "Sage Ruler, why not just kill him? Keeping him wastes food."

Ye You sneered and said, "No rush, when Ye You cos, I have a grand gift to give him."

ng Yu walked up to Ye You, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, her lips curled slightly, her gaze vicious as she said, "Perfectly tily, I also plan to prepare a grand gift for him."

Ye You gave ng Yu a satisfied glance, lifting her chin with one hand and rubbing her body with the other.

ng Yu’s eyes sparkled as she sweetly said, "Don’t worry, once you teach

your secret technique, I’ll play to your heart’s content."

Ye You chuckled a few tis, beckoning the three Heavenly Body mbers over as well, explaining the magic skill that could absorb others’ magic sources to them.

This magic skill was called "Stars Moving," created by a very powerful master nad Xuan Huang, but others deed this magic skill as overly sinister, unworthy of dissemination.

Since Xuan Huang absorbed many magic practitioners’ magic sources using this magic skill, he was hunted by the Nine Great Families and was outnumbered, eventually having his magic source destroyed.

To avoid death, Xuan Huang jumped off a cliff in front of everyone, who believed him dead and left.

In fact, Xuan Huang had a powerful spiritual artifact on him, which cushioned most of the impact to preserve his life, then shattered, allowing Xuan Huang to survive.

Having lost his magic source, Xuan Huang dared not appear in prosperous places again, so he went to the Mountain of No Regrets—a place of exile with thin spiritual energy, usually avoided by most.

Though he had beco a short-lived ordinary person, he didn’t wish to die.

Much later, Ye You followed his mother into exile at the Mountain of No Regrets, and upon reaching adulthood, by chance encountered the elderly, dying Xuan Huang.
