Liu Qiang turned around and screamed, "Are you stupid? We are the ones who have Wu Zhao by the throat, and you want Wu Zhao to let us go?"
Xue Wuchang shook his head and said, "If the divine beast Bai Ze wasn't here, we could indeed wear them down. But it's different now that Bai Ze is here."
Liu Qiang screamed, "You said Bai Ze can find a way to survive?"
Xue Wuchang whispered, "Bai Ze knows everything. Nothing here can stop him. Wu Zhao, I don't ask you to forgive me, just give me a chance to escape and reincarnate."
When I looked at him coldly, Ye Jin slowly said, "The biggest secret in the Nine-Man Prison is not the so-called mechanism, but the life energy floating in the air. If I am not mistaken, the life energy here is exactly the same as the evil energy in Shenmu Temple. The person who really hired Gu Piaoran should be the Seventh Shuilan, right?"
Su Youran gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of Bai Ze. Our employer is indeed the Seventh Shui Lan. She and Miao Kong are already outside the Nine-Man Prison, ready to receive the life energy."
Ye Jin nodded and said, "That's right! If they don't want to collect the life energy, why would they go through so much trouble? Then I will give them the life energy. Zhaozi, look up. From where you are now, count to the left of the seventh shark lantern. Jump on it and push it down. Put out the fire before you take action."
As I looked up, I exerted force with my feet, stepped on the wall several times, and rushed up several meters. I immediately slapped my palms left and right in a series of strikes. After the mysterious true energy bursting out from my left palm extinguished the flame on the shark lamp, my right palm also slapped down on the bright lamp. As soon as my palm wind hit the edge of the lamp, the brass shark lamp sank into the wall along with the bricks behind it.
When my feet landed on the ground, I suddenly felt the sound of air flowing from the cracks between the fallen bricks. It was as if I had opened a vent instead of a mechanism, which had been sucking in the air from the moment the bricks sank into the wall. However, the air in the nine-man cell didn't seem to decrease at all.
Ye Jin said without waiting for me to stop: "Hit the fourth light on the right in the third row..."
"Hit again..."
Ye Jin mentioned five positions in a row, and I pressed the shark lamp into the wall one after another. When I dropped my hand and landed on the ground, there were gusts of wind roaring in the secret room of the nine-man prison. If you just listen to the sound, anyone would think that something is frantically sucking the air in the cell, but I didn't feel suffocated at all.
Could it be that the life energy that Ye Jin mentioned was the only thing slipping away along the wall
While I was thinking, Lao Chen suddenly let out a scream and jumped up: "Leave your life energy behind, leave it behind..."
I clearly saw that Lao Chen's eyes were slowly losing their luster. After a while, his body, which was still able to move, suddenly fell to the ground, like a man about to suffocate to death. He desperately scratched the ground and crawled towards me: "Give me the life force, give me a little, just a little..."
I subconsciously took a step back, and the fingertips that Lao Chen had desperately grabbed fell to the ground along my trouser leg.
The Blood Impermanence in the distance had its body chopped off by me. It couldn’t crawl over to beg for mercy like Lao Chen did, but it desperately moved its body and shouted: “Wu Zhao, give me a chance to reincarnate, give me a chance to reincarnate…”
At this time, Su Youran asked, “Bai Ze, are the ghosts in the Nine-Man Cell considered human beings?”
"Forget it." Ye Jin had just said one word when three Yao Sect disciples simultaneously attacked the corpse. Wherever the three men's palms went, the six wronged souls turned to ashes.
Ruomen had already arranged everything. Ever since they came in, they have been creating a scene for Ye Jin where he was trapped in a desperate situation.
Although this scene may not have happened in the Nine-Man Prison, the surrounding environment is very similar to that of the Nine-Man Prison. Back then, Ye Jin might have fallen into such a place and was trapped to death with his companions.
Afterwards, in order to speed up the process, Su Youran used some unknown method to stimulate Ye Jin's bloodline, which allowed Ye Jin and I to kill Xue Wuchang, Lao Chen and the other abandoned pawns.
Ye Jin was stimulated to turn back into Bai Ze and was able to see through the secrets of the Nine-Man Prison.
We killed Xue Wuchang, leaving just five people who could work together.
The Rumor Clan's calculations were interconnected and they killed two birds with one stone. What else could they not have calculated
While I was lost in thought, Ye Jin had already returned to his original appearance. He took out clothes from his backpack and put them on before saying, "Zhaozi, come here. Let's push the Buddha statue together. We can get out now."
The five of us simultaneously placed our hands on the top of the stone statue, and as we moved together, the stone statue began to slowly move backwards, and soon the passage behind it was revealed. I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "Is it that easy to escape from the Nine-Man Prison?"
Ye Jin said as he walked: "The simpler the task, the harder it is to accomplish. What can really trap masters to death is not a prison cell, but the human heart."
Just as I was about to speak, Ye Jin spoke first: "Zhao Zi, I am lucky to know you. In my memory, there are indeed not many people who see me in the form of Bai Ze and still regard me as a brother, and you are one of them. I am Bai Ze, so I can see through people's hearts. Sometimes, I don't wish I were Bai Ze. Some things are easier if I don't know them."
Ye Jin was clearly talking to me, but it sounded like he was talking to himself: "Zhaozi, I should go now."
I was startled and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Ye Jin smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, I have been looking for the secret of myself over the years, and today I finally found a part of it. I don't know when I lost my memory, I only know that I live forever, and I can't even tell whether I am a human or a monster. Therefore, every once in a while, I have to change a place and live with a different identity, otherwise, a person who never ages and never dies will sooner or later be regarded as a monster."
"At that time, some people will try every means to find out your secrets, and some people will go to great lengths to kill you... It's too tiring to live like that. So I have to fake my death and start over again."
"This should be my third time changing my identity... My last identity was Ye Yanluo."
Su Youran was surprised and asked, "Are you the richest man in the world, Ye Yanluo?"
Ye Jin smiled and said, "If you also have endless life and can foretell good and bad luck, is it difficult for you to make money? The first time I changed my identity, I gave up everything. After I became Ye Yanluo, I thought I should leave myself a way out, so I turned a big demon that I accidentally saved into Ye Yanluo."
Ye Jin smiled and said, "I went from Ye Yanluo to Ye Jin, and Ye Yanluo also became my brother. Isn't it interesting to be brothers with your own clone?"
Ye Jin's words sounded like self-mockery, but I could feel the sadness in his heart.
While Ye Jin was talking, we had already walked out of a cave. When I came out of the cave, the first thing I saw was ancient costumes everywhere.
Hundreds of red robes were scattered on the beach outside the cave entrance. At first glance, it looked like a fierce battle had taken place here, and the eight hundred jailers, four judges, and officials in the Heavenly Prison were all killed on the beach, and the official uniforms they wore in their lifetime fell to the ground like waste paper.
When I subconsciously reached out to touch the hilt, Gu Piaoran, Qishi Shuilan and Miaokong appeared in the distance. Qishi Shuilan said, "Don't be nervous, we did everything here. Now there is no one else on Tianyu Island except us."
I stared at Seventh Shuilan and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
The Seventh Shui Lan said: "The reason is very simple. In order to regain the life energy scattered on Tianyu Island, we reopened the treasure of the Half Life Dao sect - the Endless Blood Coffin."
My eyes suddenly shrank involuntarily. My grandfather had repeatedly told me to find the Half Life Dao coffin, and no matter what happened, I had to get it back at all costs. Could it be that the coffin was in the hands of the Seventh Shui Lan
Seventh Shuilan said: "You may have heard of the Endless Blood Coffin, right? That coffin is the key to the Half-Life Dao's game of destiny. When the Nine Sons failed to defy the heavens, someone split the Endless Blood Coffin into two and suppressed them separately. The main body of the Endless Blood Coffin is hidden in the Shenmu Temple."
I couldn't help but look at Miaokong, who also smiled at me.
Miaokong was not a demon at all, but a spirit bred by the Endless Blood Coffin. The reason why he could control the Buddha with a human head and a wooden body was that he injected a trace of life energy into lifeless things.
The so-called Endless Blood Coffin may not be important at all. Whoever controls Miaokong truly controls the Blood Coffin. If Miaokong does not return the coffin, the so-called treasure of the sect is just a slightly more expensive coffin.
I said in a deep voice: "It is the so-called life energy that keeps the jailers on Tianyu Island immortal, right? If I'm not mistaken, the jailers were annihilated because Miaokong directly sucked away their life energy. Since Miaokong can flatten Tianyu Island by himself, why did you bring us in?"
Seventh Shuilan shook his head and said, "The people who built the Heavenly Prison Island had also considered this, and they also had more life energy than Miaokong. If Miaokong had been allowed to come up alone, it would not be him who devoured the Four Judges, but he would have been devoured by them instead. Only when Miaokong absorbed the life energy of the Nine-Man Prison could he take action against the Four Judges. If it weren't for Mr. Gu's plan, the people lying dead on the ground would not be the eight hundred jailers, but just a few of us."
I looked at Gu Piaoran and asked, "How did you avoid the jailers on the island?"
Gu Piaoran said, "Of course it's a trick. Just like you once tried to convince a jailer to leave with you, I am also trying to convince the jailer, and even the judge. Otherwise, how could I replace the jailer's treasured mirror of crime?"
Gu Piaoran said with a hint of pride: "The difference between us is that I succeeded and you didn't. Before I brought you to Tianyu Island, at least one hundred of the eight hundred jailers had already become my rice grains." (To be continued)
