"Tsk tsk, this is the White-Robed General, one of the Three Kings of the Ancient Battlefield. But now, he's locked up here like a dog."
Outside the cell, a tormented soul was giggling while playing with a mask in his hand. It was the mask that belonged to the White-Robed General.
However, it was now being played with by a tormented soul.
Inside the cell, the White-Robed General was silent. His long black hair was draped over his shoulders, covering half of his face. No one could see his true appearance.
His aura was very weak as the innate ferocious qi in his body was constantly being extracted. The process was not very painful, but it was very long. Furthermore, his consciousness would gradually disappear.
It was as if a person's blood had been completely drained.
The innate ferocious qi was equivalent to his blood.
The White-Robed General was a half-human, half-tormented soul existence. It was not an easy task to extract the innate ferocious qi from his body.
If it was an ordinary tormented soul, the innate ferocious qi could be extracted immediately after killing them. However, this was not the case for the White-Robed General. The innate ferocious qi was closely intertwined with his dead body. Even if he was killed, the innate ferocious qi could not be extracted.
The only way was to gradually extract the innate ferocious qi from his body using a method similar to drawing blood.
"Tsk tsk, looking at him, I don't think he can hold on much longer. Master Daoist Sha is really amazing to be able to think of such a method to extract his innate ferocious qi." One of the tormented souls laughed.
"Hey, some of the adventurers that I've killed in the past mentioned you. They said that you were an ancient general who led an army of millions. It must be very impressive, right? Why don't you tell us about your glorious achievements?"
One of the tormented souls said playfully.
However, the White-Robed General did not respond to the tormented souls' teasing. He remained kneeling on the ground like a statue.
The tormented souls were already used to it. For so many days, ever since he was captured, he had been quiet and uncommunicative.
They teased him because they were bored. Especially since the target of their teasing was the famous White-Robed General of the Ancient Battlefield, they were never tired of it.
Some people would always feel an inexplicable sense of excitement when they saw a high and mighty figure fall from the clouds. This was especially so when they could humiliate the other party as they pleased without fear of revenge.
Even for the tormented souls, this deep-rooted bad habit was difficult to get rid of.
Creak …
At this moment, the chains rattled.
The White-robed General suddenly raised his head and looked outside the dungeon. His eyes, hidden by his black hair, shone with a strange light.
"Eh? Why is there movement today?"
The tormented soul looked at the White-Robed General in surprise.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps rang out.
Two figures slowly walked into the dungeon. Following their arrival, the originally dark dungeon fell into a strange silence.
All the tormented souls looked at the two of them with their mouths agape.
One had to know that this was the dungeon of the Blood Fiend Palace, and the one guarding it was the Blood Fiend Holy Ruler, one of the Three Kings of the Ancient Battlefield.
How did the two of them get down?
"It's so dark, it's so uncomfortable."
Chu Kuangren snapped his fingers.
Several flame runes condensed and illuminated the surroundings.
"Who are you!"
"Damn it, how did you get down here!"
The tormented souls around him immediately went on high alert.
However, Chu Kuangren ignored them. With a lift of his hand, dozens of runic swords were formed. In just a few breaths' time, the dozen or so tormented souls were completely annihilated by the runic swords. Not a single one was spared.
"Senior, you look like you're in a sorry state."
Chu Kuangren came to the front of the cage and teased.
The White-Robed General chuckled. "I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly. It seems like your growth over the past few years has far exceeded my expectations. Where's the Blood Fiend Holy Ruler?"
"Oh, he's dead."
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly. He casually broke open the cage and cut off the few chains that bound the White-Robed General.
Then, he looked at the iron spike on the White-Robed General's back and said in amazement, "It shouldn't be a problem for me to pull this thing out, right?"
"No problem."
As soon as the White-Robed General finished speaking, Chu Kuangren immediately used his mind power to pull the iron spike out. The iron spike that pierced through the White-Robed General's spine was instantly pulled out. He could not help but gasp as his mouth twitched.
"Oh, Senior, you can still feel pain."
"I may be considered a living dead, but I'm not completely dead yet."
"Alright then."
Chu Kuangren did not mind and kept the bottle filled with innate ferocious qi into his Yin and Yang Ring.
The weakened White-Robed General walked out of the dungeon, picked up the mask on the ground, and put it back on.
Chu Kuangren had a good look at the White-Robed General's face. It was a very delicate face that did not look like a general who had conquered the battlefield at all.
"Let's go."
Chu Kuangren said and left the dungeon with his people.
Not long after Chu Kuangren and his people left.
A large group of people returned to the palace.
Among them was one of the Ancient Battlefield's Three Kings, Giant Tormented Sage Ruler.
The leader was a young man in black armor. His face was filled with killing intent, but there was a hint of excitement on his face at the moment.
"I've finally collected enough innate ferocious qi. Now I can raise my Innate Ferocious Foundation Level to its peak. When I ascend to become a Sage, my foundation level will at least be a Fifth Tier Sage, and I'll be the Innate Ferocious Sage who specializes in combat!" The black-armored young man, Daoist Sha, murmured.
"Wait a minute, something's not right."
Suddenly, Giant Tormented Sage Ruler noticed that something was wrong.
In the past, there were tormented souls patrolling around the Blood Fiend Palace, but it was eerily quiet today. "Where's everyone? And why isn't Blood Fiend Sage Ruler coming out to welcome us? Quick, let's go in and have a look. "
Giant Tormented Sage Ruler hurriedly led his people into the palace.
However, they did not see a single tormented soul along the way. Moreover, the palace was filled with signs of battle. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Who was it?
Who could fight against the Blood Fiend Sage Ruler to such an extent?!
"Not good!"
The black-armored young man's expression changed as he thought of something. He rushed into the palace and arrived at the place where the altar was placed. However, he found that it was already empty.
His face was a mix of green and red, his chest was heaving up and down, and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "Find it!! Find me the Innate Ferocious Altar!! "
Giant Tormented Sage Ruler and the others walked up to him.
"It's not just the Innate Ferocious Altar. The White-Robed General has disappeared too. There's no trace of the Blood Fiend Sage Ruler at the scene, so I'm guessing that he's probably dead. As far as I know, no tormented soul in the Ancient Battlefield has such abilities. Who could it be?!" Giant Tormented Sage Ruler said with an ugly expression.
"No matter who it is, I'll tear them to pieces for daring to touch my Innate Ferocious Altar!!" The black-armored young man gritted his teeth and said.
The Innate Ferocious Altar had taken him three whole years to build. It contained all of the Innate Ferocious Qi that he had collected over the past three years. It was an important means for him to improve his foundation and ascend into a Sage!
Yet now, it had been taken away by someone else!
How could he accept that this was related to one's foundation and ascension into a Sage!
Three years!
Three whole years!
He did not have the time to spend another three years planning. In a battle of the Emperor's Path, one step behind would always mean falling behind!
"Now that Xiao Jingchen has ascended into a Sage, I can't afford to hesitate any longer. I must ascend into a Sage as soon as possible. The Innate Ferocious Altar cannot be lost. Send out the order to seal off the entire Ancient Battlefield! Find the altar! "
"Yes."
As the orders were passed down, all the tormented souls who had gained sentience in the Ancient Battlefield swarmed out and searched for Chu Kuangren and the others.
