Chapter 1339: Chapter 1325: Unbearable to Look Back at Chapter 1339: Chapter 1325: Unbearable to Look Back at ng Xiuluo was completely lost in her mories as she continued, “He was nothing but a drunkard and a gambler. Perhaps that day, fate turned a blind eye as he stumbled upon good luck, winning a large sum of silver. It just so happened that we were being traded at that ti, and under the influence of alcohol, he bought us. What followed was our abuse.
We worked for him like horses and cattle, without being fed. That wasn’t the worst of it. If he was in the mood, we would be treated to a slap. Regardless of how hard we worked, he would hit us whenever he pleased, leaving us clueless about what we did right or wrong.
In truth, it was all because he was drunk. As long as he was happy, that was all that mattered. We stayed with him for three months before he quickly sold us off. You know, a gambler never holds onto any assets for long; to him, we were rely goods.”
Ye Chen could tell she had an unbearable past here; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so agitated.
ng Xiuluo shook her head and said, “He wasn’t like that originally, but this place can change a person. I watched him beco what he is.”
“After you were sold, what happened?” Ye Chen perked up a bit.
ng Xiuluo took a bite of food and continued to reminisce, “A businessman who appeared cultured on the surface, but his mind was filled with filth, no better than the drunkard. We thought our days might be better with a cultured man, but that was not the case; his entire family was despicable. Perhaps in this place, the good don’t live long.
The businessman had a daughter, who was very pretty. Longhun fell for her the first ti he saw her. She seed kind, but deep down she looked down on us beggars. Longhun tried every ans to please her, to make her happy, if she allowed it. But she treated us as dogs, constantly bossing us around.
On the surface, it seed alright, but behind our backs, they mocked us. She had a few close friends, and they would compare whose servant more closely resembled a dog, and she won. Indeed, we were more like dogs than the other servants.
She taught Longhun how to kill. His first killing started there; her family was involved in such assassinations, eliminating troubles for others. You know, children raise the least suspicion, especially the extrely thin Longhun at that ti, who wouldn’t arouse anyone’s doubts. He learned how to poison and stab soone in the chest. In that regard, he was indeed more talented than others.
We thought obeying would spare us from being hit, allow us to live more normally, but we were wrong. That madwoman’s father was even more twisted. Perhaps because he was impotent, he enjoyed watching a group of children perform naked in front of him. We’d never experienced anything like that, but we had no choice but to do it, or he would whip us, far less gentle than the drunkard.
Maybe such perversion only exists in this place; it’s all filthy.”
“How did you eventually leave this place?”
ng Xiuluo went on, “Longhun did everything to get close to her, but all he got in return was ridicule. The most detestable ti was when that girl, for so reason, ca back furious and lashed out at everyone. She bluntly told Longhun that she never liked him, she was just toying with him.
She even told him to piss and look at himself, a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh, which completely enraged Longhun. Understandably, he was angry after enduring her father’s abuse and being played and mocked by a woman. That very night, Longhun killed the father and daughter using the thods they taught him, and we escaped their ho in the rainy night.”
“They let you go just like that?”
“No, they sent people to search the entire city for us. Just then, the Mutant Winged Dragon also sent people to find us and succeeded. We were safe, but the Longhun I knew initially had changed,” said ng Xiuluo, recounting these events for the first ti in front of others, perhaps because she was speaking to Longhun’s brother.
Ye Chen did not doubt her words.
“In this place, people inherently lack a sense of security. For them, entrusting safety to others is pitiable; it must be kept in their own hands. I’m not sure how much Longhun has changed, but I know he’s not the sa person I first t,” continued ng Xiuluo. “The rules here are simple, yet cruel. Calling this place ‘Slaughter Island’ is apt.”
Ye Chen had not expected they had been through so much.
It was precisely because ng Xiuluo and Longhun had endured those experiences together that neither wished to ntion them. But those terrifying mories remained with them, unspoken, not aning they never happened. In fact, they were always there, especially when the two faced each other, as if reminding one another.
The Red Demonic Spirit found Ouyang Yue while the matters on the Island of the Wicked had ended before this, with Longhun and the others’ whereabouts unknown.
Li Mo and the rest were shocked when they learned of the subsequent events, finding it hard to believe any of it was true.
The Black Demonic Spirit said with amazent, “So Ye Chen and Guo Yuyun were both captured by the Dragon Slaying Clan, along with the Wolf King’s Ring.”
“Yes,” the Red Demonic Spirit clarified the whole process and how they finally boarded a ship leaving Lotus Leaf Island.
Muttering to himself, the Black Demonic Spirit said, “It’s truly over now. Longhun was rescued by soone again, and now his whereabouts are unknown. With the Wolf King’s Ring in the hands of the Dragon Slaying Clan, it might as well be in Longhun’s hands. Who can stand against him in the future?”
Li Mo was at a loss for words, and everyone was stunned.
The Red Demonic Spirit said, “Wasn’t Longhun trapped on the Island of the Wicked? How did he manage to escape?”
The Black Demonic Spirit smiled and replied, “That kid Su Zhanze, fearing our arrival and competing for the Sacred Spirit Stone with him, took action before we could get there. He thought he could succeed, but who knew, Longhun, with the help of the people on the Island of the Wicked and taking advantage of Zun Yu’s group rushing over to get the Dragon Slayer Sword, stirred up a lee. In the end, Longhun took the opportunity to flee.”
Ouyang Yue worried about Ye Chen, and Song Xizhi was equally concerned about Guo Yuyun.
Song Xizhi shouted, “Ye Chen and Guo Yuyun were captured, why didn’t you chase after them?”
“We wanted to chase, of course, if we could. But that young lady had planned everything ahead. On the night we were searching for Guo Yuyun, they had already secretly set up gunpowder at the docks and even aboard our ship. Who could have anticipated that their real target was Ye Chen? Nobody thought that the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan were also on that little island. By the ti we realized it was their plot, Ye Chen had already been captured, and our ship was blown open with a large hole. By the ti we switched vessels, they were long gone,” explained the Red Demonic Spirit.
Ouyang Yue hadn’t expected such an outco either. If they had known, they certainly wouldn’t have left. Now, having left and not caught up to the Island of the Wicked, Ye Chen was even captured by others.
It was a complete loss.
The Black Demonic Spirit said, “From this, it seems we have a significant problem. With such a commotion, Longhun won’t likely co out again. We should consider how to deal with Longhun, who now has the Sacred Spirit Stone, in the future.”
A subordinate said, “There’s also the Wolf King’s Ring.”
“Right, one Sacred Spirit Stone is bad enough, but with the addition of the Wolf King’s Ring, it will be even harder to deal with,” the Black Demonic Spirit said.
No one could say a word.
Ouyang Yue called out, “et up with Nangong Yao and the others.” After such a significant event, she was completely at a loss about what to do next. They’d have to consult with the two seniors to know the next steps to take. She alone couldn’t make decisions for the thirty-six islands.
Song Xizhi said, “I need to inform the people of the Immortal Demon Domain.” If both the Sacred Spirit Stone and the Wolf King’s Ring were in Longhun’s possession, it was unlikely they could oppose the Dragon Slaying Clan with just the thirty-six islands.
Soone complained, “Telling the people of the Immortal Demon Domain doesn’t help. The question is how to find Longhun again.”
“I think it’s extrely difficult. Such a good opportunity was missed; you expect them to be careless a second ti? You’re daydreaming,” said the Black Demonic Spirit, irritably gnawing on a roasted chicken leg.
“The worst part is the Immortal City Sect bunch. They should have waited for us to arrive and then act. If they had, Longhun wouldn’t have had a chance to escape.”
“It’s been said, they feared you would compete with them for the prize. What use is talking about it now?”
Longhun had escaped, yet they hadn’t seen ng Xiuluo and his group follow. They had sent signals but still hadn’t seen them catch up. Longhun asked Mo Ku, “What exactly happened?”
Mo Ku shook his head and answered, “I don’t know either, but I tried to signal them, and there was no response.”
A subordinate said, “I hope nothing has happened.”
Longhun began to worry. That night, he was only concerned with saving his own life, without thinking about much else. With the wind and rain in a fury, he had no idea what happened afterward. The ships had even been blown open with several large holes; if he hadn’t left then, he might not have been able to get away at all.
Later, Mo Ku stated that they probably wouldn’t have made things difficult for ng Xiuluo and his group, but he had no way to know that there would be problems with ng Xiuluo’s ship afterward.
Mo Ku said, “The thirty-six islands are coming. We could run into them at any mont.”
Longhun nodded his head. How could he not understand Mo Ku’s implication? If they didn’t find ng Xiuluo and ended up getting trapped again, that would be disastrous. Although he was anxious, he remained very calm.
“I’ll think of a way to look for them,” he said.
Yet Longhun said, “If they’ve t with misfortune, then it has already happened. If they’re safe, then they won’t have any problems. So whether you search for them or not makes no difference.”
Mo Ku still felt sowhat guilty, as the situation at that ti was complicated. He had to prioritize getting to safety first.
