Chapter Index

Still in the same dark and damp dungeon as before, Yang Kai was brought here and imprisoned in another cell.

There was also a somewhat desolate figure in the cell, curled up in the corner, and the sound of sobbing came from there.

After hearing the movement, that person looked up and outwards. In an instant, burst out in her beautiful eyes and she exclaimed, “Yang Kai?”

While shouting like this, she quickly stood up and stumbled towards this side, closely watching him. When she found that his injuries had basically healed, she also looked a little surprised.

Since being brought here, An Ling’er had been separated from Yang Kai. Like those people, she also thought that with the injuries Yang Kai had suffered, he would either die or be disabled. She never expected that when they met again now, he would be fine.

Yang Kai winked at her, indicating that she should remain calm. After the two foreign people who escorted him here left he then pulled her to the corner of the cell.

“How are you?” Yang Kai took a look at her and found that this girl’s clothes were neat, but her eyes were a little swollen from crying.

An Ling’er shook her head: “I’m fine. They didn’t make things difficult for me. How about you?”

“I’m fine too!” Yang Kai chuckled.

“What is this place? Do you know who those people are and why they caught us?”

“Not too sure. But they don’t seem to be human race, and they also have a great enmity with the Demon Race!” While speaking, Yang Kai looked into the cells on both sides. There, pairs of eyes were curiously sizing him and An Ling’er up, and a demonic evil aura was exuding from their bodies.

They should all be Demon Race people caught here.

“Just out of the wolf’s mouth and into the tiger’s den.” An Ling’er’s face was filled with gloom, and she seemed to be in a rather bad mood.

“Don’t worry. At least that Granny Nan can’t find this place for a while.” Yang Kai sat down. Compared to being chased by that previous generation Holy Maiden, this place seemed much safer. At least Yang Kai felt that he wouldn’t lose his life in a short time.

Hearing him say this, An Ling’er’s mood suddenly improved a little, and she also sat down beside Yang Kai, snuggling up to him.

Yang Kai didn’t pay attention to her anymore, but looked at those Demon Race people on both sides. Their true essences and spiritual consciousnesses should also have been sealed, and in this place with rich Yang Attribute energy, their demonic qi would also be suppressed to varying degrees.

There were at least a dozen Demon Race people imprisoned here, with different strengths. Yang Kai couldn’t sense their specific cultivations. With the restriction placed on his Sea of Consciousness, he didn’t dare to easily use his spiritual consciousness to spy on others.

While he was observing, a person suddenly came outside the cell.

Yang Kai’s expression turned serious, and his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at that person.

Yang Kai had seen this person before. He was one of those sitting in the front row in the great hall and should be a powerful figure here.

He stood outside the cell, looking at Yang Kai indifferently. Moments later, many of his clansmen came over carrying some things one after another.

“Open the cell door!” That person ordered, and immediately someone opened the chain of the cell door.

Those people filed in, bringing with them attractive aromas. Yang Kai was extremely surprised because he found that what these people brought in were actually some very exquisite food and several jugs of fine wine.

“Kid, you’re lucky. The leader has ordered us to take good care of you.” That person snorted and flicked a strand of True Yuan, which rushed into Yang Kai’s body.

The next moment, Yang Kai felt that the restriction in his physical body was lifted, and the True Yuan once again flowed in his meridians, restoring his original strength.

However, he didn’t act rashly. Since the other party would lift his restriction so easily, it was obvious that they weren’t afraid of him causing any trouble.

Those fine wines and delicacies were placed in front of Yang Kai one by one. That powerful figure just stood there, looking down at him coldly.

“What does this mean?” Yang Kai furrowed his brows. The people here didn’t have a good attitude towards him. For no reason, not only did they lift the restriction on his physical body, but they also provided him with such good treatment. This inevitably made him a little vigilant.

Courting someone without a reason must be for some ulterior motive!

“It doesn’t mean anything!” The man sneered and slowly walked over. With a flip of his palm, a fruit about the size of a fist and presenting a light yellow color appeared in his big hand. The moment this fruit appeared, Yang Kai felt a strong Yang Attribute energy and a pungent aroma lingering around the tip of his nose.

His brows raised, and his gaze bit on that fruit.

“Hmph, this is also a bargain for you. Digest it well!” The man casually threw the fruit over. Yang Kai casually caught it and looked at him suspiciously.

But he didn’t say anything more. He led those clansmen to turn around and leave, and locked the cell again.

A moment later, this group of people disappeared.

Looking at the fruit in his hand and the food and fine wine in front of him, Yang Kai was full of doubts and couldn’t figure out what was going on no matter what.

Suddenly, a strange laughter came from the cell on the left: “Human brat, you’re quite lucky. You can still have a full meal before you die. It seems that your value of being used by them is very high.”

Yang Kai’s brows furrowed, and he glanced at that person out of the corner of his eye. The light was too dim, and he didn’t see what that person looked like.

His eyes rolled around, and he chuckled: “Friend, we’re all people in trouble. There’s no need to be so sarcastic, right? Do you want some?”

“No need. You fend for yourself!” The man snorted and stopped talking.

“Could this be poisoned?” An Ling’er asked with some worry.

“You’re overthinking it.” Yang Kai shook his head. If those people really wanted to kill him, there was no need to play such tricks. Judging from the strength they had displayed, they completely had the ability to put him to death. Why bother poisoning the food?

Moreover, the fruit that person gave him was extraordinary. Yang Kai simply didn’t recognize what kind of spiritual fruit it was. He only knew that it was at least a top-grade spiritual fruit, and the yang-attribute energy contained within it was extremely rich.

A spiritual fruit like this was enough to allow a martial artist like himself to completely recover.

“Eat, it’s fine.” Yang Kai smiled and picked up a plate, stuffing it into An Ling’er’s hand.

With both true essence and spiritual consciousness completely sealed, and having been frightened before, An Ling’er indeed needed to replenish her strength. So she wasn’t polite and started chewing slowly.

Yang Kai was even more like a whirlwind, making a good supplement. He didn’t even let go of that fruit and directly ate it. In an instant, several more drops of yang liquid appeared in his dantian.

In the following few days, someone delivered food every day. The dishes were exquisitely made and the taste was quite good.

Yang Kai took it as it came. After a few days, not only did his injuries heal, but his strength also increased slightly. Practicing the True Yang Art in a place with such a rich yang-attribute energy was truly a godsend opportunity.

Whenever he and An Ling’er received such treatment, the demons imprisoned in the cells on both sides felt quite uncomfortable for a while.

As prisoners, the gap in treatment was too great, making them wonder what relationship Yang Kai had with the foreigners here.

In the cell on the left, the demon who had spoken before thought that Yang Kai would soon be killed. But after a few days, not only did those people not trouble him, but instead continuously provided him with various benefits, which made that person quite speechless.

About five days later, Yang Kai, who was meditating in the cell, suddenly felt that the Yang Attribute energy in the air seemed a bit unstable, as if something had happened to the source of the energy.

Frowning, he carefully investigated, but could not find much useful information.

On the contrary, the demons in the cells on both sides, when they felt this, their faces all changed greatly, and they all fell silent. The situation of unease and irritability gradually spread, looking like a great disaster was imminent.

What’s wrong with them?” An Ling’er shrank timidly beside Yang Kai and asked in a low voice.”

Yang Kai shook his head, his expression solemn.

With a soft creak, accompanied by a series of rapid footsteps, several people quickly rushed in from the outside. At the same time as they rushed in, the demons imprisoned here start cursing, and their emotions were extremely excited looking like they were going to fight to the death.

But they, who were restrained by various means, had no power to fight back. With a series of clanging sounds, several demons were quickly dragged out.

With a bang, the door of the cell was locked tightly again.

The remaining people were still shouting and cursing, but they got no response.

“That’s enough, all shut up. What’s the use of your yelling here?” The demon in the left cell, who had said a word to Yang Kai before, shouted angrily.

Everyone fell silent.

Yang Kai looked at him in surprise. This person seemed to have some reputation and prestige among the demons, otherwise the others wouldn’t be so obedient to him.

About the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the chaotic energy fluctuations flowing in the air gradually subsided and became stable.

A feeling of sympathy for the fallen spread, and all the demons were dejected.

Yang Kai’s eyes flickered. He secretly felt that they should know more than he did and perhaps it was possible to inquire about some news and clues about this place from them.

One day later, someone delivers food and wine again. Yang Kai didn’t gobble it up like before but picked up the wine and walked to the left, shouting at the demons over there: Friend, do you want to come and have a drink? This wine tastes okay.”

In the darkness, a pair of eyes slowly opened, shining with a brilliant light. Moments later, a cold laugh came from that direction, filled with a sense of disdain and ridicule.

“Although I am human and you are a demon, the relationship between humans and demons has always been unfriendly. But there is a saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend. What do you think?” Yang Kai said with a kind smile on his face, persuading.

The man’s smile gradually faded, and after meditating for a while, he said in a deep voice, “Hmph you humans are just treacherous and also know how to adapt!

As he spoke, he stood up from that side, came to the middle of the two cells, sat cross-legged, and snatched the wine jug from Yang Kai’s hand, drinking it big gulps.

In just a few breaths, a pot of fine wine was gone, and Yang Kai took another pot and handed it to him.

Seeing that he was so sensible, the demon people couldn’t help but nod and contemptuously said, “I look down on you humans the most. You are servile to the strong and overbearing to the weak, insidious and cunning!”

“Hehe.” Yang Kai was not angry either. “Drink first, and then we’ll talk.”
