Free Web NovelChapter 73: Chapter 72: Taking a Vacation! And Going into Business for Myself
It was common knowledge!
Only a Celestial Realm Great Venerable could manifest a Divine Thought Body!
His Cultivation and Divine Thoughts were not weak, so he could naturally tell that the Su Bai before him was not some Soul Body or Ghostly Body!
It was a Divine Thought Incarnation!
In his mind, Su Bai had to be an incredibly powerful Celestial Realm Great Venerable!
In response, Su Bai’s expression remained calm; he didn’t deny it.
After discerning Su Bai’s "true strength," the old man immediately unleashed a powerful Cultivation Technique. His speed exploded, and he shot backward in a desperate attempt to flee!
The move was as smooth as flowing water!
Unfortunately, the speed of a Divine Thought Body far surpassed the old man’s.
The next moment, Su Bai’s figure appeared right in front of him!
After a quick glance, Su Bai found that the old man’s strength was not weak at all!
The True Qi vortex within his body had already expanded to an extremely advanced stage!
The quality and quantity of his True Qi had nearly reached the limits of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
Clearly, this old man was an expert at the Ninth Level of Spirit Transformation Realm!
Seeing that escape was impossible, the old man’s expression changed slightly!
He simply adopted a respectful expression and bowed deeply to Su Bai!
"This junior, Longbo Hai, greets Senior!"
After speaking, the old man looked slightly panicked, his body trembling faintly!
It couldn’t be helped; a Celestial Realm Great Venerable was standing right in front of him!
How could he not be flustered?
"Not running anymore?"
Su Bai found it amusing and asked with a half-smile.
"I wouldn’t dare! This junior will cooperate with whatever Senior wishes to ask!"
A bitter smile appeared on the old man’s face as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
But inwardly, he was vexed!
’When did such a terrifying Celestial Realm Great Venerable appear within the Great Xia territory?’
Su Bai snorted coldly, putting immense pressure on the old man’s Heart Spirit!
At that moment, Su Bai suddenly noticed that besides the powerful purple True Qi within the old man’s body, there seemed to be a deep, hidden Demon Power as well!
Su Bai’s eyes narrowed.
’This old man... is from the Demon Race?’
"You have Demon Power in your body. Are you from the Demon Race?" Su Bai asked, taking a step forward.
"Yes."
Sensing Su Bai’s approach, beads of sweat couldn’t help but form on the old man’s forehead!
He quickly explained in detail, "This junior possesses the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, which is why I have some Demon Power!"
Hearing this, Su Bai thought of Jiang Guanshui from before and asked, "That Jiang Guanshui from earlier... is he the Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"Does he, like you, also possess the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox?"
"You don’t know, Great Venerable?"
The old man was taken aback, his face immediately showing surprise.
Su Bai’s expression turned cold.
The old man’s eyelids twitched!
He immediately said, "It is indeed as you’ve guessed, Great Venerable. He is the Ninth Prince of Great Xia, and he also possesses a trace of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox bloodline!"
"Let me ask you, why is he imprisoned here?"
When Su Bai asked this, the old man fell into a rare silence.
He said no more.
Even when Su Bai used his Divine Thought Sword Formation, manifesting dozens of sharp blades, and revealed a hint of killing intent, the man remained as stubborn as a mule, refusing to speak even on pain of death!
"Interesting!" free𝑤ebnovel.com
Seeing that the man would rather die than talk, Su Bai said, "You would rather die than speak, all for this secret?"
The old man remained silent!
Then, he said in a heavy voice, "This old man does not have much time left anyway. I hope the Great Venerable will forgive me!"
Well, now!
’So he’s just not going to talk, is he!’
Seeing the old man’s resolve, Su Bai was at a loss.
Seeing that he couldn’t get any secrets out of him, Su Bai turned to leave.
"Senior, wait!"
The old man quickly shouted, "Are you planning to go deeper into the prison, Senior?"
The Cyan Hall where Su Bai was located was merely the outermost layer of the prison’s depths.
"What is it? Is something wrong? Or are you saying there’s danger deeper inside the prison?"
Su Bai turned around and asked, uncertain and suspicious.
The old man didn’t explain things clearly to Su Bai, acting like some kind of know-it-all as he continued to speak in riddles.
"I cannot explain the specific situation to you, Senior, but this old man advises you not to venture any deeper!"
The old man’s gaze was profound, as if he was recalling something.
There was a hint of fear in his eyes!
Su Bai was so irritated he could grind his teeth, wishing he could just slap the old man to death and perform a Soul Search himself!
SWOOSH!
He ignored the old man and vanished.
Left behind, the old man watched Su Bai depart, his eyes flickering.
He had lived for a very long time and naturally understood what kind of dangers and horrors lay in the prison’s depths!
"Even a Celestial Realm Great Venerable will face immense risks if they ignore my advice and continue deeper!"
The old man’s expression changed slightly. Then, a thick smoke emanated from his body, and he vanished on the spot.
After leaving the old man, Su Bai continued deeper into the prison’s lower levels!
There, he saw rows of abandoned cells stained with dark red rust!
Each cell was quite large, and the sturdy iron bars were covered with distinct claw marks of various kinds!
They emanated a powerful aura!
It was as if some kind of ferocious, evil beast had once been imprisoned here!
However, even though these cells were completely abandoned, some of the more powerful Prison Guards were still patrolling the area!
Su Bai pushed on!
He saw a powerful Demon King tightly bound by crimson chains!
He also saw a burly man nailed to a giant, blood-red pillar!
And the snarling, roaring figures of Demon Fiends!
...
Finally, in a certain area, Su Bai saw a deep, dark cave entrance!
The entrance was surrounded by numerous ancient Arrays, emitting faint strands of a peculiar silver light!
A faint, utterly terrifying aura drifted out from within the cave!
Su Bai’s Heart Spirit tensed, and he shot inside!
...
PTHOO!
Back in his personal quarters, Su Bai coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood!
With his powerful Divine Spirit, he took a moment to regulate his breathing and quickly made a full recovery!
Recalling what had just happened, Su Bai was inwardly terrified!
Just now, after his Divine Thought Incarnation entered the cave, he had found himself in complete darkness, unable to see a thing!
The inside was filled with a massive amount of deep Demonic Qi and incredibly thick strands of Demon Qi!
In a daze...
Su Bai seemed to see a giant eye land upon his Divine Thought Incarnation!
And then, his entire body had simply exploded!
Coming back to his senses, Su Bai focused his thoughts and pondered.
’It seems that cave holds a huge secret!’
Just the giant eye he had seen was already beyond anything Su Bai had anticipated!
At this point, Su Bai clearly felt it.
The waters of this Great Xia Prison ran deep; it was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface!
「Early the next morning.」
Su Bai discovered that more and more people dressed in lavish robes were gathering inside the prison!
After asking around, Su Bai finally learned what was going on.
It turned out that because he had undergone the Thunder Tribulation last night, many dignitaries and nobles wanted to come to the prison to catch a glimpse of the mysterious Martial Arts Great Power!
Their true purpose was to get a step ahead of everyone else, get close to this Martial Arts Great Power, and build a relationship!
Good heavens!
’Looks like I won’t be able to stay in the prison for a while.’
After some thought, Su Bai asked the Prison Lord, Chen Tianfeng, for a few days off, planning to go out and relax!
He had been in the prison for some time now, so it would be nice to go out and unwind.
Chen Tianfeng, who was in a great mood, naturally agreed without hesitation!
’This is a perfect opportunity. I can try to capture some criminals myself!’
Walking down the corridor on his way out, a pleased look appeared on Su Bai’s face as he thought to himself.
Besides suppressing criminals in the prison step-by-step, he could open up a new source!
’Capture them myself! Suppress them myself!’
Tsk, tsk...
’The amount of Experience Points I’ll get then will definitely be much higher than what I’m getting now!’
