Chapter 20

Wu Mu let out a terrified scream, and a large dog nose forcefully squeezed out of the air vent, stuffing the narrow opening completely. He shrieked, "Alright, old Taoist, you win! I can become this little guy's servant, I can become his follower! But, little guy, you have to promise me that you won't deliberately torment me, and you won't deliberately harm my interests, okay?"

Yin Xuege tiptoed and gently touched Wu Mu's nose. Suddenly, five streaks of blood light shot from his fingers, and he fiercely clawed Wu Mu's nose, tearing five deep bloody gashes. As Wu Mu screamed in agony, blood spraying everywhere, Yin Xuege sternly shouted, "Lord Wu Mu, if you want to waste time, you've succeeded!"

"The people of the Great Berlin City-State could discover the commotion here at any moment. I don't want to be surrounded by their troops and then thrown into a prison!" Yin Xuege said impatiently, "Do you have any choice now? Become my follower and fight for me; you have no other option!"

"Damn it!" Wu Mu roared in anger, "Yin Xuege, you're just like your perverted mother, turning your back on people! Bastard, I knew it, how could the son of that crazy woman be a good person?"

Jiang Tuochen impatiently raised the green steel sword in his hand. As Yin Xuege had said, the abnormality in the Blood Prison could be discovered at any time, and he couldn't afford to waste too much time here. After all, the Jiang family had come to the Great Berlin City-State for help from the local powers, and he couldn't let the people of the Great Berlin City-State know that the Jiang family had rescued a major criminal from the Blood Prison.

Sensing the cold and deadly intent from Jiang Tuochen's green steel sword, Wu Mu quickly shouted, "I swear, I'll offer my heart's blood right now! Damn it, can't you act like a gentleman? Alright, alright, I agree to become this little guy's follower. I'll tear apart anyone who opposes him and gnaw off their heads!"

A drop of blood, about the size of a thumb and surrounded by a faint silver glow, spurted from Wu Mu's mouth.

Jiang Tuochen recited a spell in a low voice, bit his finger, and rapidly drew nine blood talismans in the air. These nine blood talismans emitted a brilliant light and quickly merged into Wu Mu's heart's blood, transforming it into a vivid, thumb-sized silver wolf head. The wolf head let out a low howl and swiftly entered Yin Xuege's forehead.

Yin Xuege felt a powerful soul suddenly connect with his own. This soul was over a hundred times stronger than his current self, but Yin Xuege sensed that with a single thought, he could make this soul vanish into thin air!

No matter how uncomfortable Wu Mu felt, no matter what he thought, he was now Yin Xuege's! Not just a follower, but with his soul and life completely under Yin Xuege's control, Wu Mu had become Yin Xuege's blood servant!

The title of "follower" was merely a fig leaf to allow Wu Mu to retain a bit of dignity and respect.

"Now, can you let me out?" Wu Mu's tone became very strange, almost pitiful, but also carried an indescribable ferocity. His teeth ground together with a 'crack,' and even a few sparks flew from his mouth, the result of his teeth grinding against each other!

Jiang Tuochen nodded with a smile, and two paper figures dragged the guard, quickly opening Wu Mu's cell door.

A deep wolf howl echoed, and Wu Mu, over three meters tall and covered in silver fur, burst out of the cell, leaving dozens of afterimages. He leaped onto the tunnel wall with lightning speed, ran back and forth on the wall several times, and then landed beside Yin Xuege, slapping his shoulder with a powerful paw.

His emerald green eyes fixed on Yin Xuege for a moment, Wu Mu smacked his lips and reluctantly licked his nose with his long tongue.

"Alright, alright, a little Daywalker? Lord Wu Mu isn't too disadvantaged! Let's get out of here quickly. Lord Wu Mu has been imprisoned here for twenty-five years, and I can't wait to breathe the air of freedom!"

Shaking Yin Xuege's slender body, Wu Mu grinned widely, showing his teeth.

"So, Master Yin Xuege, will you take care of Lord Wu Mu's eating, drinking, and other needs from now on? Don't worry, Lord Wu Mu isn't a wasteful person. I'm very frugal, simple, and self-disciplined. I won't put too much financial pressure on you!"

Wu Mu laughed smugly, and as he thought of his good fortune, he couldn't help but howl to the sky.

Jiang Tuochen glanced at Wu Mu's towering figure and frowned slightly. Wu Mu's strength exceeded his expectations. This talkative and somewhat unreliable giant wolf was actually this powerful?

"Kill everyone on this level of the Blood Prison. Leave no witnesses, quickly!" Jiang Tuochen sized up Wu Mu and issued the order to eliminate the witnesses.

Dozens of cells simultaneously erupted in angry screams. These prisoners, the most dangerous and vicious criminals in this level of the Blood Prison, were all in a panic, shouting and cursing.

Amidst the curses, a thin, pale arm suddenly reached out from the cell next to Yin Xuege. The owner of the arm, with a hoarse voice, called out to Yin Xuege.

"Hey, child of the Yin clan, let these Easterners release me! It won't take them much time, and they still have enough time to release me! As a reward, I can give you three drops of my heart's blood! I am a powerful Duke, and you should know what a Duke's heart's blood means to a child!"

Yin Xuege's body suddenly trembled, and he instinctively looked at the thin, pale arm.

A blood demon Duke's heart's blood?

No blood demon child could resist such a temptation, not even Yin Xuege, not even the Yin Xuege eager to escape this Blood Prison, could refuse such a temptation!

"Three drops? No, if you're willing to pay more and swear that you won't cause me any trouble afterward and won't reveal this matter by any means, I can agree to your request!"

Yin Xuege's entire eyeball turned blood red, and his heart beat fiercely.
