When he mentioned the prisoners on the third floor, Ye Zichen sensed the auras of several of the prisoners on the second floor fluctuate.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but stare blankly. They were all Divine Generals, yet the mere mention of the prisoners on the third floor was enough to make them react like this? "Little guy, you're not from the Xue Family, but you're quite polite, so I'll tell you this out of goodwill. As for whether or not you want to go down, that's up to you. But I'd still advise you not to. Earlier, a few of the Xue Family members brought food down there, and they were all frightened out of their wits.
They were all rulers and other experts! "
The cyan-robed expert laughed, then looked away and muttered to himself. He paid Ye Zichen no heed.
Ye Zichen looked at the passageway leading to the third floor, his heart filled with undisguisable curiosity. He wanted to see for himself just how ferocious this Demon General, whom the yao Divine Generals had boasted about so much, was.
He bowed to the expert, then after a moment's hesitation, braced himself and took a step down.
In the blink of an eye, he retracted his leg and ran up to the first floor without looking back.
The cyan-robed expert who'd warned him chuckled, looked at the passageway to the third floor, and took a sip of wine.
"Ha …. Ha …. Ha …."
Ye Zichen ran up the first floor, then put his hands on his knees and looked at the ground. His pupils constricted, and he gasped for breath.
Beads of sweat covered his face, nose, and chin, then dripped to the ground.
Ye Zichen had only taken one step, but he felt like he was about to die. That's why he'd run up without even looking back. Even now, his hands were trembling violently.
He'd never felt this way before, not even when he faced the God, Yao, and Demon Emperors.
"What exactly is locked up there?"
Ye Zichen muttered to himself, his face drenched in sweat. After a while, he straightened his back and wiped the sweat off his face. He didn't even dare look down.
He walked straight to an empty cell on the first floor and clenched the talisman Xue Beibei had given him.
He shone with light, and the cell door opened automatically.
Ye Zichen stroked the Yao-Sealing Pagoda in his arms, then merged with it and disappeared from the cell. The Yao-Sealing Pagoda's environment could be changed by the bearer. By now, Ye Zichen had already opened a path through the pagoda's interior. After leaving the first palace, Ye Zichen had linked the first, second, and third floors of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda together. Only the fourth floor was still too weak for him to link.
I also connected to him.
All the demon servants, from the Earth Supreme to the Celestial Beings, lived together, so they could better share their cultivation experiences with each other.
"My lord."
As soon as he arrived, the demon servants greeted him.
In the battle with the Bai family, the yao servants of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda were all injured. Fortunately, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda was rich in resources and had enough healing pills for them to use.
Although his injuries were not fully healed, it was only a matter of time.
"Where are the two I brought in?"
"There's a pavilion up ahead. Do you need this subordinate to bring you there?" The demon servant asked.
"I'll go by myself. You guys stay here and recuperate."
Before he even pushed the door open, he could already hear screams and pleas coming from within.
He pushed the door open and entered. To his astonishment, Yang Jian and the Great Sage were on the first floor. In front of them was Bai Yulong, who'd been beaten beyond recognition.
"Is he still alive?"
"Ye-zi, you're here."
Yang Jian clutched a whip made of divine power. Bai Yulong's body was covered in scars, and he lay on the ground, barely breathing.
When they saw Ye Zichen's black robes and left eye, Yang Jian and the Great Sage's eyes flashed with cold light.
Yang Jian, who'd just stopped, couldn't help but lash Bai Yulong a few more times, causing him to scream in agony.
"Look, you can still scream. You're alive and well."
"Enough, don't kill him. He's still useful to me."
When Yang Jian heard that, he dispelled the whip and looked at Bai Yulong sinisterly. "Just looking at you makes me want to rip out your tendons and drink your blood."
The Great Sage said nothing, but his ferocious gaze was even more intense than Yang Jian's.
Just like Lin Ru, when Bai Mingli self-destructed, Ye Zichen had brought them into the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
At the time, Bai Yulong was already gravely injured. Now, he'd endured the Great Sage and Yang Jian's torture. It was a miracle he'd survived.
"These are just minor injuries. It's not like I can't recover."
Ye Zichen patted Yang Jian on the shoulder and smiled calmly. Ye Zichen knelt, grabbed Bai Yulong by the hair, and lifted him up.
"Can you tell who I am?"
"Just kill me!"
Bai Yulong's face was so swollen that only a slit remained in his eye.
He no longer had any desire to live. All he wanted now was a quick and painless death. After entering the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, Yang Jian had sealed his nascent soul, and the two of them had tortured him endlessly. However, they'd controlled the pace perfectly and refused to let him die.
The instant he learned of Bai Mingli's self-destruction, he knew the Bai Family was finished!
He also knew full well that Ye Zichen, who'd sacrificed his entire family to avenge Xue Mo, wouldn't let him live.
All he wanted was death!
"You want to die?"
Ye Zichen smiled viciously, then punched Bai Yulong in the face, knocking out all of his remaining teeth and causing the right side of his face to cave in.
Bai Yulong flew several meters back and lay sprawled on the ground, blood leaking from his mouth …..
"Just kill me!"
Ye Zichen grabbed Bai Yulong by the head and smiled coldly.
"Did you know? I saw Xue Mo just now."
As he spoke, he took out a pill and shoved it into Bai Yulong's mouth.
This pill was a holy healing medicine. It was hundreds of times more valuable than ordinary pills, yet he'd fed it to Bai Yulong.
It really was a holy healing medicine. After a few breaths of time, Bai Yulong recovered quite a bit of his vitality.
However, this was a nightmare for Bai Yulong!
He knew full well why Ye Zichen fed him this pill.
Ye Zichen didn't want him to die!
As long as he was alive, he would suffer endless torment, whether it was physically or mentally.
With his nascent soul sealed, he couldn't self-destruct. His teeth were knocked out, so he couldn't even bite his tongue.
Thud.
Having recovered some of his strength, Bai Yulong struggled to his feet. Yang Jian and the Great Sage were just about to attack when they saw him kneel before Ye Zichen.
"I'm begging you, just kill me. Give me a quick death. I'm begging you."
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bai Yulong's head slammed into the ground. To his surprise, after just a few hits, he felt the ground become enveloped in divine power.
"Don't even think about dying. Live on, got it?"
To Bai Yulong, these comforting words sounded like the voice of the devil.
He wanted to die!
He wanted to die!
"Here's a chance for you. Tell me, just who told you to do this? Did you injure Xue Mo of your own volition, or did someone tell you to do it? "
"It's all me! I saw that bitch Xue Mo …."
Bang!
Ye Zichen's fist slammed into Bai Yulong's stomach.
"Keep your mouth clean and tell me the truth. The Xue Family's bloodline isn't something your Bai Family can casually break. I told you to tell me the truth. Do you understand? Or do you want to eat a few hundred lashes? "
As Bai Yulong retched, his eyes flashed with terror ….
"The God Emperor! It's the God Emperor! All of this was ordered by the God Emperor! The Bai Family dared not disobey his orders! He ordered me to torture Xue Mo and destroy her bloodline power. He wanted to find out who Great Emperor Xue Yang was allied with! It's all the God Emperor's doing! "
"Yang Jian, whip him for me. Even now, he's still trying to smear the God Emperor's name," snorted Ye Zichen.
"No problem!" Divine power materialized into a whip and appeared in Yang Jian's hand.
"It really is the God Emperor! It really is! I swear, the God Emperor ordered me to do all of this. If I lie, I'll be struck by lightning and destroyed by the heavens. I'll die a horrible death …. "
