Chapter 18

Yin Xuege, bound and immobilized by shackles, lay on the ground, gasping for breath, barely recovering from the intense pain. His heart beat strongly, and a faint blue glow spread through his body with his blood, rapidly healing his shattered bones, twisted nerves, and blood vessels. He quickly regained his strength.

He struggled with all his might but found that the set of shackles and chains on his body weighed at least three to five hundred pounds. Moreover, these instruments of torture were densely engraved with countless restraining runes, which confined all his strength. He could barely sit up on the ground, but standing and walking were extremely difficult.

From the opposite side came the weak howl of Wu Mu: "Hey, little bat, are you still alive? Say a few words to Lord Wu Mu! Do you want to know about your mother? Ah ha, your mother, Yin Huangwu, is a very twisted woman!"

"Lord Wu Mu almost lost his tail to her back then! It's been over twenty years since I last saw her, and I didn't expect her to have a child?"

"Shut up!" A deep and rough rebuke sounded. Wu Mu, in order to speak to Yin Xuege, had extended his dog nose out of the air window. A heavily armored guard suddenly rushed over and struck Wu Mu's nose with a metal shield. Poor Wu Mu's nose, the most vulnerable part of his body, was hit so hard that blood spurted out, and he screamed in pain, jumping and writhing around the cell, unable to make any more noise.

Yin Xuege chuckled a few times, then shouted gleefully, "Wu Mu, you shouldn't be a werewolf leader; you should be a crow!"

"A, a crow?" Despite the excruciating pain in his nose and the constant flow of blood, Wu Mu still roared, "I am the great Lord Wu Mu, the great Silver Wolf leader Wu Mu! You can insult my race, but you cannot insult the great Lord Wu Mu himself!"

The sound of thunder crackled incessantly as a guard activated the restraints in Wu Mu's cell. Wu Mu, who had been shouting, was struck by lightning, causing him to howl in pain. His fur stood on end, and he spat out a thick cloud of smoke. After suffering several severe injuries today, he finally exhausted his energy and fell silent.

Yin Xuege's smile faded, and he sat on the ground with a gloomy expression, his head lowered as he pondered the possibility of escape.

Outside the Blood Prison, Jiang Ruren and the three Grand Governors humbly took their seats in a beautifully decorated small flying vehicle. Surrounded by dozens of flying vehicles, this golden and splendid flying vehicle drew a beautiful light trail as it quickly flew towards the Grand Berlin City's government building.

The three Grand Governors and the Blood Prison guards did not notice that a nearly transparent green copper coin had lightly flown up from where Jiang Ruren had stood. A pair of delicate wings unfolded from the sides of the coin, and after a few flaps, the small coin drew a green light trail and quickly flew towards a certain area in the city of the Grand Berlin City.

Inside the Grand Berlin City's government building, the twelve Grand Governors had all gathered. They opened the most secret small meeting room, and Jiang Ruren, inside the meeting room, said something that made everyone's faces change instantly.

"According to the records passed down in our Jiang family, and the clues we have gathered over the years, it can be proven that in three months, within the territory of your Grand Berlin City, the cave of one of our Jiang family ancestors will open! There are some very important things for our Jiang family inside, and we hope to get the permission of the Grand Governors to help us open the cave and retrieve the ancestral relics."

The faces of the thirteen Grand Governors, including Fayinlan, all became very strange. They stared at Jiang Ruren in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long while, it was Allen who first recovered from his shock. He looked at Jiang Ruren and asked very seriously, "Sir Jiang Ruren, is the cave you mentioned one that was left before the End of the Law Era?"

Jiang Ruren smiled at the thirteen Grand Governors and nodded seriously, "It is the cave of my ancestor Jiang Yichen, who attained enlightenment fifteen generations ago. During the End of the Law Era, the spiritual energy declined, and the cave sealed itself, disappearing from the world. Now, at the end of the End of the Law Era, the laws of the world are recondensing, and the spiritual veins are regenerating, so the cave is showing signs of opening!"

Fayinlan's hands clenched tightly, her fingers almost intertwining into a braid. She stared at Jiang Ruren without blinking, exclaiming in disbelief, "But your ancestor should have opened the cave in the East, right?"

Jiang Ruren spread his hands helplessly, "Ancestor was an enlightened being, his actions are profound and unfathomable. Who can say for sure? Perhaps he just wanted to leave a legacy for our Jiang family in the overseas region."

Before the thirteen Grand Governors could speak, Jiang Ruren smiled and said, "Our Jiang family only wants the cultivation scriptures and various magical artifacts inside the cave. As for all other external items, they belong to you!"

The spirits of the Grand Governors, including Jiaolusi, immediately lifted. They exchanged glances and immediately engaged in negotiations with Jiang Ruren. A cave left by an Eastern cultivator before the End of the Law Era was a very rich prize! Even though Fayinlan and Jiang Ruren had some acquaintance, and Jiang Ruren had once saved Fayinlan's life!

But friendship is one thing, business is another, and they would not let go of any bit of profit!

Time passed minute by minute, and Jiang Ruren and the Grand Governors argued until they were spitting, no longer paying attention to what was happening outside.

The night was hazy, and the moon rose slowly from the east. The Blood Parrot, a secret treasure created by the Blood Demon clan, shone with a cold, blood-red light, slowly crossing the sky.

A faint white mist rose from the ground, enveloping the Blood Prison, which was located in the core area of the Grand Berlin City.

On such a clear moonlit night, the appearance of white mist was clearly abnormal. However, no one reported this to the city's higher-ups because all the guards in the Blood Prison had fallen unconscious one by one under the influence of the white mist.

A middle-aged Taoist, dressed in a light yellow octagonal robe, holding a fishing drum in his left hand and a turtle-scale green steel sword in his right, led several dozen figures that appeared and disappeared in the white mist. They walked slowly to the entrance of the Blood Prison, entering unimpeded and directly reaching the deepest level of the Blood Prison.

Yin Xuege was lying in the Blood Prison, lost in thought, still unable to think of a way to escape.

Wu Mu was still chattering in the opposite cell, now asking Yin Xuege if he had a secret crush!

Suddenly, several faint sounds of breaking air echoed, and several green lights rapidly flew through the tunnel. The heads of a dozen guards patrolling the tunnel flew up, their bodies heavily falling to the ground.

A figure suddenly appeared at the air window of Yin Xuege's cell, looked inside, and nodded forcefully.

"Found him, it's this little guy!"
