Groggily, Su Yie heard the sound of water dripping, tic-tac tic-tac, even falling onto his forehead.
His consciousness also began to recover.
When he opened his eyes, he was t with pitch darkness, with droplets of water falling down, hitting right between his eyebrows, awakening all his mories.
He sat up abruptly, subconsciously guarding against his surroundings. He clenched his hands, wanting to grasp his Immortal Swords, but all three swords were not by his side, nor did they respond to his call.
"What are you looking for?"
Just then, the voice of the Fla Prison Demoness reached him, startling Su Yie as he turned to look.
There, thirty ters away on a huge red rock, sat a seductive figure. She crossed her legs in a carefree manner, propped her elbow on her knee, and supported her chin in her palm. Her beautiful eyes were rippling like water, gazing at Su Yie, seemingly filled with endless charm, invoking pity in the heart of the beholder.
Su Yie took a deep breath and instead of imdiately answering the Fla Prison Demoness, he surveyed his surroundings.
His demonic power was still there and he wasn't injured. If the Fla Prison Demoness had any malicious intent, he would probably be dead by now, so he wasn't very nervous.
The cavern was spacious, hiding nurous crystal stones, dimly lit, yet carrying a mysterious aesthetic.
"Stop looking, this place is no longer the Eastern Polar Seas, it's located ten thousand ters under the sea bed."
The Fla Prison Demoness swung her right leg leisurely as she spoke.
Seeing her deanor, Su Yie frowned slightly and asked in a heavy voice, "What do you want with ?"
Upon hearing this, the Fla Prison Demoness leapt up and landed on the ground. From where her feet touched, sparks spread out in all directions, paving a path for her.
The glow of the fire illuminated the cave, and Su Yie instinctively looked up, only to see many strange pictographs etched on the stone ceiling above them, seemingly narrating an ancient tale, exuding a sense of vast antiquity.
"I want to kill the Deep Sea Ferocious Emperor, so I sought you out."
The Fla Prison Demoness spoke with a bewitching laugh, as if she were chatting with Su Yie about the tender and beautiful things in life.
Su Yie's brows furrowed even more, and he asked, "You want to use as bait?"
Up to now, he still didn't know why the Deep Sea Ferocious Emperor was targeting him. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
"You're half right."
The Fla Prison Demoness shook her head, saying as she approached Su Yie.
She was only half a head shorter than Su Yie. She extended her right hand and, using her index finger, lifted his chin as she spoke in a tender voice, "The Deep Sea Ferocious Emperor has already taken refuge inside the Imperial Sea Palace. I can't force my way in without triggering the restrictions of the palace, but you are different. You have already been afflicted with the Karmic Tribulation Technique, and you don't have much ti left. You can enter the Imperial Sea Palace."
"Although the Imperial Sea Palace is controlled by various powers of the Endless Ocean, they can't fully open the entrance to the palace. They can only send in so talented creatures every once in a while. The Deep Sea Ferocious Emperor was one of those who went in last ti and has not co out since. There's still so ti before the palace opens again. However, individuals like Supre Dragon Shaking and the Sea Emperor are very powerful, and I do not wish to clash with them head-on."
Karmic Tribulation Technique!
Su Yie's heart shuddered violently, and that unsettling feeling erged once more.
The Fla Prison Demoness stared into Su Yie's eyes, saying, "Any creature whose end is near and whose luck has run out can freely enter the Imperial Sea Palace. Often, such creatures are far less powerful than they were at their peak and are simply incapable of reaching the palace in the deep sea. But you are different, I can protect you."
Su Yie felt a surge of irritation.
What did she an by his end being near and his luck running out?
He said gravely, "If that's true as you say, couldn't other factions also use this thod to enter the Imperial Sea Palace?"
The Fla Prison Demoness shook her head and explained, "It's not those who are about to die, but those whose normal lifespan has co to an end or whose luck has been completely devoured. Even if they could find such a person, they wouldn't dare to enter the palace. Once they do, they would be expelled, and if they tried to enter again, the palace spirits would reject them, leading to a loss greater than the gain."
"But I am different, I only want to kill the Deep Sea Ferocious Emperor. Once he is dead, I won't co back here again."
Su Yie fell silent, having grasped the Fla Prison Demoness's intention, yet he felt very displeased.
He stared into the Fla Prison Demoness's beautiful eyes and asked, "How do you know I am afflicted with the Karmic Tribulation Technique?"
Even he had no idea!
The Fla Prison Demoness moved next to him and whispered in his ear, "Not just you, all Exotic People are struck by this technique. The higher their Cultivation, the greater the backlash they suffer. Eventually, you will be worn down by countless hardships, dood never to transcend, falling into endless agony, either driven mad or with your souls torn apart, resulting in no good end."
Su Yie's pupils constricted, and he instinctively reached out to grasp the Fla Prison Demoness's neck, but she effortlessly dodged.
The Fla Prison Demoness reappeared ten ters away, spreading her hands and shaking her head, "You can't bla . I observed the result in Mystical City. The city arrived too briefly, most Exotic People are too weak, and other native powerhouses cannot discern this. I just happened to witness an exceptionally talented Exotic Person, who broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm in just one year, get dragged into the Nine Netherworlds by the Malevolent Wraith of the Yellow Springs during Transcend Tribulation, tortured eternally by Ferocious Ghosts."
Su Yie's expression turned increasingly ugly. It seed there was more than one Mystical City in the Ancient Wilderness?
Was the Xuanyuan Human Emperor toying with them?
Why had they been afflicted with the Karmic Tribulation Technique?
He couldn't fathom it, but each ti he thought of Nan Xiaopao, his heart felt unbearably heavy.
Nan Xiaopao was also highly talented. Could she face the sa dire fate as that Exotic Person?
"Indeed, it's quite possible. No wonder your fate seems so strange," Feng Long muttered in Su Yie's mind, speaking the most when it ca to making such snide remarks.
"If it truly is the Karmic Tribulation Technique, then we are in trouble, and we might have to switch masters again."
Baiyuan pondered aloud, sticking another knife into Su Yie.
"The Karmic Tribulation Technique is an Ancient Evil Technique. Through the ages, only a few powerful beings have broken free and been reborn. I know of a way,"
the Fla Prison Demoness spoke up again, offering Su Yie a lifeline.
He didn't rush to inquire but looked at the Fla Prison Demoness, waiting for the answer.
The Fla Prison Demoness shook her head with a wry smile, "This thod is within the Imperial Sea Palace, which is also why I sought you out. A win-win cooperation is the best partnership."
Emperor Su wielded vast Divine Skills, she certainly didn't wish to provoke him, so she bore no malice towards Su Yie. By helping Su Yie, she could also help herself, which was mutually beneficial.
Su Yie frowned, uncertain whether to trust the Fla Prison Demoness.
"If the Karmic Tribulation Technique is unbreakable, perhaps I should grant you a swift end!"
Just then, a severe shout echoed in the cave, startling both Su Yie and the Fla Prison Demoness to turn around.
A burly figure appeared on a rocky slope a hundred ters away.
Dressed like a woodsman with a seam between his eyebrows, even with graying hair, he exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression, especially within this shadowy cave.
"Who are you?"
The Fla Prison Demoness narrowed her eyes inquiringly, her expression filled with caution, clearly perceiving the newcor's strength.
"How dare you kill a Heavenly Pride favored by the Heavenly Gods? Demon Emperor, how do you wish to die?"
The old woodsman ignored the Fla Prison Demoness, staring at Su Yie and asked word by word.
Su Yie raised an eyebrow. Could this man be Sheng Tianjiao's backer?
To have found this place signified the man's power.
