Chapter 102: Chapter 100: Fulfilling Centuries-Old Desires_1
“Sure enough, they ca. There’s also a woman among them, with cultivation at the sixth house level. I wonder who she is?”
The lady in purple didn’t turn her head to look; her mana, though, allowed her to perceive the scene behind her: “They’re pretty bold, daring to break into your dragon’s pool and tiger’s den directly.”
The corner of the Mysterious Literatus’ lips held a satisfied smile: “If they dare to break in, it ans they’re confident.”
“You’re quite brave as well. Letting them enter such a montous event, the Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice – are you not afraid they might ruin your grand sche?”
The lady in purple fell silent: “The Duchenghuang from
Nanjing has formidable mana, especially Zhang Yan. Had he achieved the mind of Yang before his death, he would’ve been a figure similar to Zhonglie Duke Wen. If he’s the one who ca, I am afraid we might have so trouble.”
“Zhang Yan? He should have arrived already, but regardless of who cos today, it’s all too late.”
The Mysterious Literatus’s eyes held a cold glint as he descended to the last step of the second floor of the dungeon: “This is the stage I ticulously prepared for myself and for them. I’m looking forward to their performance and then for everything to conclude according to my script.”
At this point, Li Xuan was also following the procession down. As the view of the second floor of the prison gradually unfolded before his eyes, Li Xuan’s gaze once again tightened.
The most eye-catching thing on this floor was, of course, the figure shackled to a massive column by chains as thick as a child’s arm.
This individual’s towering figure stood three zhang tall, and was half-kneeling with hundreds of bloody talismans nailed to his body. Looking at his attire, it was precisely that of a Master Chenghuang, a 4th-rank official robe; however, his crown was nowhere to be found, and his hair disheveled.
At this mont, he was raising his head, eyes ablaze, angrily glaring at the Mysterious Literatus as well as the various demons and ghosts who were also coming down.
Li Xuan guessed that this figure couldn’t speak. Otherwise, at this mont, Master Chenghuang of Dasheng Pass would surely be cursing vehently.
Beside the Chenghuang were dozens of other columns, binding an assembly of Divine Generals and Yeyoushen. Among the thickest of these were the Dicheng and the Panguan of both the civil and military divisions of Dasheng Pass. Those three were very feeble. Their bodies were caught between reality and illusion, a symptom of severe depletion of their Yuan Qi and Divine Power. However, their Shenpo was nailed onto the pillars, unable to dissipate, unable to move, and naturally not able to escape.
After glancing at them, Li Xuan shifted his gaze to the ground.
This second level of the prison was supposed to have many rooms, but they had all been leveled at this point. The whole space, amounting to about ten thousand square ters, was filled with symbols ford from coagulated rcury.
These symbols were mostly in scrawly handwriting style, but they possessed a unique beauty. Assembled together, they not only commanded an aura of grandeur, but they also contained unrivaled mysteries, attracting Yin Qi from all directions.
Among these substances, Yin was represented by rcury and Yang by cinnabar. Both Yin and Yang, right or wrong, could be used and they were extrely useful.
“You two want to transform into demon bodies together?”
This ti it wasn’t the Human-faced Dog speaking, but a female-shaped ghost. She was beautiful and had a nice voice, but Li Xuan knew that she had used a blinding spell. Underneath this spell, who knows what terrifying face was hiding.
The maid seed sowhat uncertain as she looked at him: “There are limited living beings inside Dasheng Pass, so we haven’t prepared that many spots. Moreover, your wife is only at the level of the sixth house. She doesn’t et our requirents-”
“Of course we’re together!” Before the maid could finish, Li Xuan tightened his grasp on Xue Yunrou’s right hand and shot her a cold, knife-like glare: “My affection for Yunrou is as solid as gold, we are together in life and death. If we cannot be resurrected together, why would I co here? Hurry up, we’re also awaiting to make love together at Wushan after rebirth, to fulfill our long-cherished wish of several hundred years.”
As his words fell, he felt a severe pain in his waist. It was Xue Yunrou pinching his waist, putting forth her strength as if twisting a screw.
Li Xuan could only endure it, wondering why this girl wasn’t considering the bigger picture? What if their cover was blown?
“This—”
The maid turned her head to look at the group of Taoists. She didn’t know what kind of thod they used to communicate. One of the Taoists waved his hand impatiently. The maid then laughed: “Coincidentally, one of the guests has defaulted. Follow , your seats are on the left—”
Li Xuan followed her forward, quickly reaching the southern side of this prison.
“It’s here!” The female servant pointed ahead of them: “Once you are settled, please make sure not to move. At most, one and a half Shichen later, at the end of the Hour of Zi, both of you will be able to mold your flesh.”
Without thinking too much, Li Xuan was about to step in. But Xue Yunrou grabbed his arm. At this mont, her eyes were surprisingly serious: “This is the position of the South Li, Li is fire. If we enter this array’s eye, we will be turned into firewood and will be burned rcilessly.”
Li Xuan’s pupils constricted, and his instinct directed his gaze towards the Mysterious Literatus who was located in the center of the array.
He noticed that only the two of them were taken to the southern position. That is to say, the Mysterious Literatus may have already detected their identities. This could be a trap specifically targeted at them.
At the mont he looked back, apart from the Mysterious Literatus who appeared to have been expecting this, all the demons and ghostly figures in the prison, including the red-robed Taoists and purple-robed won, turned their eyes filled with cold murderous intent towards Li Xuan and Xue Yunrou. Their faces were creepy and terrifying at this mont. The usually bright prison seed suddenly darker, and it beca a real demon cave.
“Fuck,” Tingtian Ao couldn’t help but curse, “It is indeed a trap! They set this up.”
“Fight!”
This was the voice of Panguan Wu Guo Liangchen who had separated from the divine statue and appeared beside Li Xuan. The spear in his hand lifted, and the maid next to them was blasted into spirit residue, her soul flew away and scattered.
Panguan Wen also appeared imdiately after, and his large knife swung and emitted a hundred ters of knife energy, enveloping most of the demons in the prison.
Xue Yunrou also took action at the sa ti. She raised her ‘Umbrella of Yin Yuan’ in front of her like a shield, protecting both Li Xuan and herself. The ‘Xuanming Zhiyang Shuttle’ that once carried them on the Nine Quiets Underworld River was only three feet long at this mont, floating above them. It emitted more than a dozen rays, either containing Yinsha or Yang fire, intercepting and shattering the spells cast by the six red-robed Taoists.
– According to their predetermined tactics, once the battle started. The only task of Xue Yunrou is to protect Li Xuan who carries two divine statues and the ‘Song of Righteousness’.
The next mont, there was a ‘booming’ sound in this two-story prison, it was Panguan Wen’s knife energy that was shattered by the joint efforts of those demons!
“Go!”
This was the purple-robed woman. She raised her hand and four half-moon curved knives sprang from her sleeve. They all spun at high speed, slashing towards Panguan Wen Zhang Yan like crescents.
The latter kept hacking with his large knife, warding off the knife’s light flawlessly. His figure was like a flash of thunder, rushing towards the direction of Master Chenghuang without any delay.
Behind him, Panguan Wu Guo Liangchen violently stabbed his spear into the ground: “Show your head, Dragon, break it!”
As his divine power erupted, countless cracks spread from the ground in an instant, thoroughly crushing the sacrificial array around them within a radius of one hundred ters.
