Chapter 1338: Chapter 1378 Vine Gold Cage
Chapter 1338, Vine Gold Cage
Ye You released his Magic Power, forming a pair of magic wings behind him. He flew upward with Qin Sisi and stopped next to the open window of the Tree Top Castle.
He didn’t enter directly but instead respectfully spoke loudly toward the window, "Jiuxi Yeyou, Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm, seeks an audience with the Deity Guardians."
Without knowing anything about the other party, Ye You opted to be courteous first before resorting to force, greeting them politely.
After speaking, there was no response from inside the castle for a long ti.
Ye You frowned slightly and repeated his words louder.
After a brief pause, an aged, hoarse voice finally responded, "Co in."
Ye You breathed a slight sigh of relief. Soone inside was willing to respond, which might be a good start.
He exchanged a glance with Qin Sisi, nodded to each other, and then passed through the empty window into the interior of the castle.
The light suddenly dimd. Qin Sisi blinked forcefully, carefully assessing the scene before her.
Besides the window they entered, the castle had no other windows or doors, surrounded by solid walls, making the light so dim.
The room they were in was a hall of about a hundred square ters, very spacious, with few furnishings but many miscellaneous items, overall looking sowhat chaotic.
In the middle was a large square wooden table with two chairs placed side by side next to it. Against the innermost wall, there was a long recliner, with a small stool beside it.
The floor around was scattered with bottles and jars of all sizes, emitting a peculiar sll, with an unknown purpose.
At this mont, the witch dressed in black was half-lying on the recliner at the far end of the hall, her face turning towards them.
She had a face worn by the years, deep wrinkles seemingly carved by a knife, strands of grey hair peeking out from under her pointed hat, and cloudy eyes fixed on Qin Sisi and Ye You without any discernible expression.
"Descendants of the Phoenix?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
Ye You straightened his back and replied, "Indeed."
He already had so understanding; being able to directly state that he was a descendant of the Phoenix, the old witch before him must be the Deity Guardian of the Dark Forest.
The old witch’s expression remained unchanged as she continued to ask, "The Dark Forest is a forbidden area of the Demon Sacred Realm. Any human who enters will be violently attacked by various plant and animal Demonic Beasts. How did you get in?"
Ye You pondered briefly and replied frankly, "To the deity guardian, I ca in by transforming into a cat."
"Transform into a cat?" The old witch’s gaze shifted to the White Cat that Qin Sisi had turned into, then she said in a flippant tone, "Transform into sothing else, let
see."
Ye You was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit of displeasure in his heart. The old witch’s flippant tone made him feel like he was being toyed with.
However, for Qin Sisi...
Ye You suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, spun around, and transford into a jet-black cat, standing on the floor, looking up at the old witch.
The old witch laughed, her wrinkles deepening, and she slowly said, "Very good, a black cat happens to match a witch perfectly. From now on, you shall be my plaything!"
This was the final straw for Ye You. He imdiately said loudly, "I am the Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm, not your plaything, nor will I ever be."
The old witch’s eyes turned cold, her tone holding a hint of danger, "Boy, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Ye You’s purple eyes fixed on her, asking sternly, "Are you or are you not the Deity Guardian?"
The old witch sneered and retorted, "So what if I am? So what if I’m not?"
Ye You suppressed the anger boiling in his heart and said to the old witch, "My wife is seriously ill. I ca specifically to request Life Divine Water from the Deity Guardian. Whatever conditions you have, feel free to state them."
"Hehehe..." The old witch laughed eerily, "My condition is that you beco my plaything."
She then seemingly raised her right hand feebly, and a dense green light shot out from her palm, directly enveloping them.
Ye You quickly shielded Qin Sisi, simultaneously raising his hands to release Gold Attribute Magic Power, forming a magic shield to resist the old witch’s attack.
He was now a Low-level Magic Lord, which was considered a top-level stronghold in the Demon Sacred Realm. However, the green light emitted by the old witch put unprecedented pressure on him, nearly shattering the magic shield.
He hurriedly kept releasing Gold Attribute Magic Power to maintain the energy consumption of the magic shield, managing to block the old witch’s attack.
"Oh?" The old witch looked at Ye You in surprise, nodding as she said, "Indeed, so skill. As expected of a Phoenix descendant. But humans are humans; gods are gods. Humans can never defeat gods."
As she uttered the last few words, her voice grew more somber. She stood from the recliner, thrusting her hand forward, and dark green Magic Power fiercely attacked Ye You.
This ti, Ye You finally couldn’t withstand it. The magic shield suddenly collapsed, its light dimming and scattering.
But the old witch’s mass of Magic Light was still rich in Spiritual Power, charging toward Ye You.
Ye You was startled and was about to step back when that mass of green Magic Light approached with great speed. He hadn’t yet retreated when the green light rapidly enveloped him.
"Xiao Hei!" Qin Sisi cried out in panic, rushing over recklessly.
The green light gradually dissipated, allowing them both to see that the mass of green Magic Light was not completely composed of Magic Power, but a verdant cage woven from vines.
Now, Ye You was trapped inside this cage, a once high and mighty Sage Ruler reduced to a dispensable plaything of others.
Qin Sisi gritted her teeth, raised her paw, and released Fire Attribute Magic Power, attempting to burn away the cage and rescue Ye You.
Seeing this, Ye You also released Fire Attribute Magic Power to scorch the cage. The combined power of Ziwei Heaven Fire and Sun’s True Fire is rarely opposed by anything in the world.
However, the result was disappointing. The vines weaving the cage appeared to be ordinary, but no matter how much they burned, they could not damage the vine, and the cage remained as solid as ever, unchanged.
The old witch said with a contemptuous and triumphant tone, "Don’t waste your energy. This Vine Gold Cage is forged with the hardest tal and the strongest vine in the world, impervious to fire."
Qin Sisi and Ye You, one outside the cage, the other inside, upon hearing the witch’s words, looked at each other with eyes filled with pain and despair.
