Chapter 73 The Culprit Behind the Scenes
The Sky-reaching Dungeons were located deep in the mountains north of the Nine Spirits City. The place was where the Nine Spirits Tribe locked up so vicious criminals. It had the most solid defense in the Nine Spirits City.
After Ding Hao proposed to see Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai, he imdiately ca to the Sky-reaching Dungeons with a young eunuch.
On the way to the Sky-reaching Dungeons, Ding Hao found that there were various tactical deploynts and countless traps within a radius of several miles. No wonder it was the place with the most solid defense. Even with Ding Hao’s current realm, it would be extrely difficult for him to sneak in.
Looking at the heavily guarded but sparsely populated Sky-reaching Dungeons, Ding Hao sighed at the sa ti that the place seed to be a forgotten and abandoned corner of the world.
It was heavily guarded outside, but the environnt inside was extrely harsh.
Outside the walls, it was bright and beautiful. Inside, it was rotten and moldy.
There was a faint rotten sll in the air. Occasionally, there was a gust of cold wind blowing through the cracks, making a whistling sound like a ghost crying and complaining, which made people shudder.
Dust was blown up and floated in the air, filling the entire dungeons, and it was mixed with so pungent, sour, and rotten sll.
The prisoners here were all vicious people who killed people without blinking an eye. It could be imagined what kind of terror there would be if these prisoners escaped.
Ding Hao ca here and saw such an environnt. He looked very calm, but Evil Moon could not stand it. As soon as the guard opened the gate of the dungeons, it fled in a hurry and said, “I’ll wait for you here. Go in by yourself. It’s really not suitable for such a noble cat like to enter such a place.”
After that, it scurried to the back and waved its little claws to signal Ding Hao to go in.
Ding Hao was speechless. He turned to the young eunuch and said, “You may go back first. I can go in by myself.”
Most people of the Nine Spirits Tribe were particularly afraid of the Sky-reaching Dungeons, and this young eunuch was no exception. When he heard what Ding Hao said, he was relieved and hurriedly bowed. “Take care, Your Excellency.”
Ding Hao stepped into the dungeons.
The heavy gate slowly closed, and peace was restored here. Only the occasional snoring of Evil Moon not far away and the footsteps of the young eunuch who was gradually leaving could be heard.
In the Sky-reaching Dungeons-
“Your Excellency, those two people are in the innermost cell… Please co this way, Your Excellency…” After entering the dungeon, Ding Hao knew that the Sky-reaching Dungeons were extrely large, and the passages inside were also complicated, not like the direct ones in the usual dungeons at all.
If it weren’t for the guard in front of him leading the way, Ding Hao would have lost his way there.
Walking along the passage, they could hear the sound of the wind from ti to ti, mixed with so hysterical screams and shouts of prisoners. Besides that, there were only footsteps of the two of them.
It took a long ti. They walked for half an hour before they reached the innermost part of the dungeons. Of course, this was also because the guard did not dare to walk too fast and had been leading Ding Hao with great caution.
Although this place was remote, the guard had heard that soone had saved their whole Nine Spirits Tribe. Through the young eunuch just now, the guard knew that the man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes in front of him was the savior, so he naturally did not dare to slight Ding Hao.
“Your Excellency, this is the cell of Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai…” As the guard spoke, he took out a string of tokens in different colors. He took out a black token and waved it at the steel door. Black light shot out and entered the door, which then slowly opened.
Faintly, so unique power dispersed outside the cell, which was the power of the restriction formation. That was to say, there was a tactical deploynt in the cell, and Ding Hao could tell that it was not simple.
After checking out the tactical deploynt, Ding Hao looked away and looked into the cell. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and walked in. At the sa ti, he could hear the cell door slowly close, and the guard said, “Your Excellency, when you’re done, you can turn the iron plate inside, and I will know…”
When the guard finished his words, the cell door had been completely closed.
The cell was very large, with a radius of nearly 100 ters. There was no sll of decay in the cell, and the air was very fresh. On the wall, there were two slightly shining stones and a palm-sized iron plate near the cell door.
“Huh?” When Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai, who were nailed to two iron racks with huge wood nails and bound with iron chains, heard the noise, their closed eyes slowly opened. When they saw the person coming, their dull eyes suddenly showed a complicated look, including anger, unwillingness, fear, and a hint of helplessness.
Because Ding Hao had sealed their dantian, Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai were unable to mobilize their Qi. They were also unable to recover the lower half of their bodies and were seriously injured, so they looked very dispirited. However, their cultivation was at the middle level of the Eternal Realm, so they were still alive.
Hanging there, Xing Mo looked at Ding Hao and slowly exhaled. After a long ti, he said, “What are you doing here? Are you going to kill us… If so, hurry up and kill us…”
When Xing Mo said those words, Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai appeared very desolate. They were like two lonely old n waiting for death to arrive.
However, Ding Hao could see that their bodies were still trembling when Xing Mo said this, and there was a hint of nervousness in their eyes. Obviously, they were not as straightforward as they claid.
Ding Hao did not answer but raised his hand. Black light lingered in his palm, and an extrely powerful dark force that was very familiar to Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai burst out in an instant. Then, two black lights flashed, and two lotuses surrounded by black Qi appeared in the cell, swaying.
The lotuses blood and floated in the palm of Ding Hao. They were blooming without wind. The hazy black air made the two lotuses more enchanting and mysterious.
Ignoring the two’s complicated eyes, Ding Hao asked, “Where did you get these Dark Lotuses? I’ll only give you one chance. You’d better tell the truth…”
Ding Hao’s tone was very calm, but with unquestionable calmness, especially his calm eyes, which were even colder. At the sa ti, Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. According to what Ding Hao said, it seed that he didn’t intend to kill them.
As long as they could live, Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai would naturally not seek death. Moreover, people at their level knew well how to cherish their lives. Only by living would they have the chance to get what they wanted. Only those who were stupid and reckless would say that they would rather die than yield.
Moreover, at this point, if Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai didn’t tell the truth, they would probably suffer miserably, which would bring them greater pain than death. Since the origin of the Dark Lotuses was not so important to them, they did not want to get themselves killed because of it.
Therefore, Xing Mo did not hide anything. He imdiately told Ding Hao the origin of these Dark Lotuses. “In fact, these two Dark Lotuses don’t belong to our Evil Yang Tribe. They were given to us by a powerful being just in case…”
Ding Hao’s expression did not change much. He clenched his fists slightly, and the two Dark Lotuses suddenly turned into black light and disappeared. Then, he stood there quietly, listening to Xing Mo. “About half a year ago, a mysterious young man suddenly ca to our Yang Region, and he directly ca to us and threatened to take over our Evil Yang Tribe. Although we found what he said unbelievable, because of his temperant, his tone, and the power bursting from him, we felt that he ant what he said.
“However, we have been in a high position for many years, and our cultivation is not weak. How could we honor him just because he said he would take over the tribe? So, the two of us, as well as the various experts in the tribe, fought with him. We didn’t expect that he was too powerful. Even with the power of the entire tribe, we couldn’t stop his power…”
“In the end, you were conquered by him. This man is the one who gave you the Dark Lotuses that you just ntioned. That powerful being… Tell about him,” Ding Hao said thoughtfully.
“This young man has unparalleled dark power. There are no pupils in his eyes, which are as terrible as black holes… His surna is Ding. We call him Lord Ding. We don’t know anything else,” Pei Qi’ai replied.
After listening to him, Ding Hao just raised his eyebrows slightly and then fell silent as if he was thinking about sothing.
Since Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai had beco prisoners, they could only lower themselves. In addition, Ding Hao could kill them whenever he wanted. The two could only remain silent as well and did not dare to disturb Ding Hao.
“The Dark Lotuses!
“There are no pupils in that man’s eyes!
“His surna is Ding!
“Sure enough, it’s him!
“Ding Tong has indeed co to the Primordial World!”
According to what he knew, Ding Hao concluded that the young man who had taken over the Evil Yang Tribe and given Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai the Dark Lotuses was definitely his cousin, Ding Tong.
Moreover, according to the current situation, Ding Tong must know so information that Ding Hao didn’t know. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done what he did.
Mu Tianyang and Xuan Tianzong had also co to the Primordial World, but Ding Hao had not seen them yet, nor had there been any news about them.
Where did they go?
Perhaps, they were among the other nine major tribes’ factions.
At this mont, ti was pressing. Ding Hao knew that he had to hurry.
After a long ti, when the atmosphere beca tenser and tenser while Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai didn’t even dare to breathe, Ding Hao focused his eyes again. He looked at them, and his right hand scratched at them.
“What, what are you doing…” Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai thought that Ding Hao got the information he needed and was about to kill them.
To their astonishnt, a streak of invisible Qi swept past them, cutting through the nails and the chains. The halves of the bodies of Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai fell heavily to the ground with a bang.
Before they ca to their senses, Ding Hao pointed at them again.
Strange light entered their bodies. After a burst of light, Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai’s waists squird, and their lower halves grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai were shocked. They didn’t know what Ding Hao was going to do when they heard his voice.
“Stand up. I need you to take to the Evil Yang Tribe…”
