"So it's like that. It seems your uncle must have killed too many innocent people. That's why he was locked up in the Death Prison. Moreover, he had to rely on the golden talisman to suppress him. He was locked up for ten million years."
Luo Ping guessed.
"Perhaps. It's almost time. That guard will open the prison soon. I think we should put on an act. Otherwise, I'll beat you up for real."
Shangguan Mengru no longer bothered about her uncle's matter. Instead, she changed the topic and asked Luo Ping to put on an act with her.
"If you think that you can hurt my physical body, then go ahead and do it."
Luo Ping faintly smiled as he replied.
"Forget it. Think of a way yourself."
When Shangguan Mengru thought of the strength of Luo Ping's body, she shook her head and told Luo Ping to deal with it himself.
When Luo Ping heard this, he released a burst of energy. He controlled a bronze hammer on the ground and casually slammed it on his body twice. Then, he used his energy to tear open his clothes, causing countless cracks to appear. He then looked at Yu Xiao, who was still lying on the ground like a corpse.
"Bang!"
Luo Ping punched Yu Xiao's chest. Yu Xiao reflexively spat out a mouthful of blood. Luo Ping used his energy to lift up the blood. It exploded in the air and landed on his body.
"Okay, it's done."
Luo Ping looked at his body and said with satisfaction.
At that moment, the prison was opened again. The guard walked in. When he saw Luo Ping covered in wounds, he wasn't surprised. He knew that the second miss had come to take revenge on Luo Ping.
However, when he saw Yu Xiao lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, he was completely stunned. His face was filled with disbelief as he walked over to the formation.
Although he was surprised, the guard still quickly closed the formation. Soon after, Shangguan Mengru walked out.
"Carry him out of the prison and throw him out of the Shangguan Residence."
Said Shangguan Meng Ru coldly. Then she walked away. With her status, she didn't need to explain anything.
When the soldier saw this, although he was filled with confusion and shock, he still followed Shangguan Mengru's instructions and quickly carried Yu Xiao out of the formation.
After reactivating the barrier, Bing Jiang carried Yu Xiao out of the dungeon. Peace was restored in the dungeon.
However, Luo Ping's heart was no longer calm. He looked at the special formation and was filled with doubt.
After knowing the identity of the man in the array, he felt that it was definitely not a simple matter for this person to be imprisoned here. There might be more to it than met the eye.
Although he did not express his doubts in front of Shangguan Mengru, he wanted to figure out the real situation now.
Luo Ping closed his eyes and began to sense the fluctuation frequency of the formation. In order to not destroy the integrity of the formation, he could only use the Teleportation Star to leave the formation.
After a short while, Luo Ping suddenly opened his eyes and walked out of the boundary unhurriedly. He went straight to the special boundary.
The people imprisoned in the formation were once again shocked by Luo Ping's methods. Although some of them had special methods that allowed them to leave without breaking the formation, they weren't as relaxed as Luo Ping.
Luo Ping's figure flashed and flew to the special formation. He began to carefully size up the man's figure. After observing for a moment, he released his soulforce again and began to sense the fluctuation frequency of the formation in front of him.
Because this formation was a compound formation, the fluctuation frequency was relatively complex, so Luo Ping took a long time. After a full incense stick's worth of time, he showed a smile.
Using the Space Resonance Technique, Luo Ping passed through the obstruction of the formation at once and successfully entered the formation, standing in front of the man.
"Senior!"
Luo Ping tried to shout.
Hearing Luo Ping's voice, the man slowly raised his head and looked at Luo Ping through the gap between his drooping hair.
The man did not respond, but Luo Ping saw the vicissitudes of life, loneliness, helplessness and other complex colors intertwined in the other's eyes.
"Senior is the first master of the Shangguan family, senior Shangguan Yu. Junior Luo Ping pays respect to senior!"
Luo Ping went straight to the point, directly revealing the other's identity, and then said respectfully.
Though he was currently imprisoned in a dungeon with his cultivation sealed, he was still a peerless immortal in the past. Luo Ping naturally had to show him some respect, given that he'd once been a peerless immortal who could call the wind and summon the rain in the immortal realm.
Hearing Luo Ping's words, two rays of light suddenly shot out from the man's eyes, like stars streaking across the night sky, completely different from before.
"Was it that little girl Mengru who told you my identity?"
The man asked softly.
"Yes!"
Luo Ping answered straightforwardly.
"Although your cultivation base is not high, your means are very brilliant. Whether it is the technique to break the seal, injuring that puny Gold Immortal, or easily passing through the array barrier, all of them have made me look at you in a new light."
"If I were not in this situation now, I would really want to take you as a disciple and train you well. I believe that your future achievements will be extraordinary."
The man praised Luo Ping.
"Thank you for your praise, senior. This junior is already very happy that you did not laugh at my methods."
Luo Ping said humbly.
"The method you used to injure that puny Gold Immortal. Although I can't sense that power, I'm not blind. In my opinion, you must have used some external force."
"Otherwise, with your battle strength, even if you can fight above your level, it would be impossible for you to surpass an entire realm and injure a golden immortal with one blow."
The man added.
"Senior, you have a good eye. This junior did use external forces."
Luo Ping did not hide it and directly admitted it. However, he did not say much, nor did he explain.
In fact, the reason he could take advantage of Yu Xiao's defenseless state and injure him so severely was not only because of the power of the vitality essence, but also because of the power of the Profound Heaven Gate.
Only by borrowing the power of the Profound Heaven Gate could he do this. Otherwise, even if he launched an unexpected sneak attack, it would be impossible to injure Yu Xiao.
Under such circumstances, he did not have the time to think or hesitate. He also did not have the time to choose. He could only take a gamble. The result proved that he won the gamble.
Not only did he injure Yu Xiao, but he also did not let the other party notice any flaws. Thus, he won the upper hand in the subsequent battle.
"Why were you captured?"
The man asked.
When Luo Ping heard this, he pondered for a moment. Then, he told the other party about how they sneaked into the secret base of the Han Yan Chamber of Commerce and were captured.
"I really did not expect this day to come. Moreover, it was much earlier than I expected."
After hearing Luo Ping's story, the man suddenly said such a sentence.
Seeing Luo Ping's puzzled expression, the man continued, "I am Shangguan Yu of the Shangguan Clan. I have been imprisoned in the dungeon for more than twelve million years."
"Although I am still alive, I am unable to change the current situation. I can only watch as the foreign races control our Shangguan Clan."
"Based on the current situation, it will not be long before the Shangguan Clan is completely destroyed by the foreign races. As a descendant of the Shangguan Clan, I feel incomparably ashamed."
The man directly stated his identity. He was Shangguan Yu of the Shangguan Clan. However, his following words made Luo Ping very puzzled.
"Foreign races?"
"Senior, you said that the Shangguan Clan is controlled by the foreign races. Could it be those experts from the Demon and Demon Realms?"
Luo Ping voiced his guess.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yu shook his head repeatedly. His long hair swayed and set off a gust of wind. Driven by the wind, his face finally appeared in front of Luo Ping.
When Luo Ping saw the other party's face, even though he had a strong will, he was deeply stimulated. Shangguan Yu's face was dry and wrinkled like tree bark. There was not the slightest trace of moisture. Although he was not very thin, there was not the slightest trace of vitality.
If it were not for the glimmer of light in Shangguan Yu's eyes, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his face was the face of a dead man.
Although Luo Ping was very shocked, he did not interrupt the other party's actions. He was still seriously waiting for the other party's response.
"The Demon and Demon Realms are the two space worlds closest to our Immortal Realm. The three sides have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but none of them can do anything to each other. After all, the tripartite balance of power is relatively stable."
"In addition to the Demon and Demon Realms, the Immortal Realm is surrounded by countless space worlds of the same level. Cultivators from these worlds will also choose to enter our Immortal Realm to travel and experience."
"Originally, this situation was relatively normal because in our Immortal Realm, there are also cultivators who enter other space worlds to travel. Although there are occasional casualties, the overall situation is relatively safe."
"However, on that day 13 million years ago, a few foreign races from the Foreign Realm suddenly barged into our clan and … and actually killed my father and second brother …"
Shangguan Yu slowly explained some facts. In the end, he said something that greatly shocked Luo Ping.
After saying this, Shangguan Yu seemed to have sunk into memories and grief. He paused for a moment.
"What?"
"The head of the Shangguan Clan was a ninth-level peerless immortal. In the absence of an immortal monarch, he could be considered one of the top experts in the Immortal Realm."
"The second master of the Shangguan Clan was also a peerless immortal. Both of them were killed by the alien races. Could there be an immortal monarch among the alien races?"
"Even if there is, the Shangguan Clan has a High Immortal as well. As long as the High Immortal makes a move, those foreign races won't be able to kill them. Unless … something happened to the High Immortal of the Shangguan Clan?"
Many thoughts flashed through Luo Ping's mind, including a crucial question.
