Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 235 - 160: Target of All, Return to the Demon Sect with Me

Chapter 235: Chapter 160: Target of All, Return to the Demon Sect with Me

Jiang Feng listened intermittently for a long time.

He roughly understood what had happened.

"Under Zhenbei Prison, there’s actually a hidden underground palace?"

"Uncle Fu is just a gatekeeper?"

"What’s the origin of that underground palace, and can Zhenbei Prison still be a place to stay?"

Jiang Feng was greatly surprised.

Even though his cultivation had reached the True Essence Realm, he had never realized there was an underground palace beneath Zhenbei Prison. Like everyone else, he was full of interest and curiosity about that mysterious underground palace.

Seeing the runners who, after spotting the disappearance of the Spirit Devouring Array, dashed back in to witness the spectacle, hoping to gain something from the chaotic situation.

Jiang Feng was somewhat hesitant.

"Forget it, I better stay away from this place."

"With things getting so big, there will surely be some powerful figures appearing. If I accidentally expose myself, it will not be worth the risk."

Jiang Feng thought seriously, deciding not to join the excitement.

He worried about what to say should he encounter Uncle Fu upon his return.

Therefore, he remained at the South City Gate waiting.

From his position, he could not see the situation at Zhenbei Prison due to the distance. He could only feel that after the Spirit Devouring Array vanished, the originally converging power of heaven and earth towards Zhenbei Prison had halted, and the surroundings seemed to restore to normal.

Over at Zhenbei Prison.

The Ten Directions Ghost Realm had turned the entire Zhenbei Prison into a purgatory on earth. The Chong Ghosts crafted by the Old Demon Child made the disciples of Yun Gui Sect wail in distress.

Scholar Chaihu led people to break into the prison.

At this moment, the True Essence surged inside, and magical treasures flew about. Occasionally, eerie laughter or screams could be heard from inside, and it was unknown which side held the advantage.

Liu Jinhu stood atop a pavilion.

Observing from a distance for some time.

He discovered that the disciples of the Demon Sect and Yun Gui Sect were evenly matched, and it was uncertain when they would come to a cease-fire.

Unable to contain his impatience, he swooped down in a black shadow, rushing into Zhenbei Prison, intending to enter the underground palace and uncover its secrets.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

As Liu Jinhu charged into Zhenbei Prison towards the underground palace, those who came from the Imperial City to see the spectacle or with the mission to investigate the underground palace also sprang into action, all rushing towards Zhenbei Prison.

These people did not care about the slaughter between Yun Gui Sect and the Demon Sect, only hoping to obtain their own opportunities and treasures within the underground palace.

"Boom!"

With Liu Jinhu’s intrusion into Zhenbei Prison, the fluctuation of True Essence inside intensified.

"Do you know who I am, get lost!"

"Master!"

Uncle Fu exclaimed in surprise. He recognized the voice belonged to the Old Demon Child.

"I don’t want to interfere in your strife; I just want to go inside and take a look."

Liu Jinhu said with a sullen face.

Scholar Chaihu led his people, battling with the Old Demon Child in the passage to the underground palace, blocking Liu Jinhu’s path. Feeling more people rushing in from outside, Liu Jinhu couldn’t help but make a move, wanting to carve a bloody path.

"Mr. Liu, if you can help us take down this old demon, consider it Yun Gui Sect owing the Second Prince a favor."

Scholar Chaihu shouted.

He hadn’t expected that even with prior preparation and a group ambush, they couldn’t gain an advantage over the Old Demon Child. At this rate, not only would they fail to capture the Old Demon Child, but they might also end up leaving their lives here.

"Why don’t you go and ask the Seventh Prince for help?"

Liu Jinhu retorted coldly.

He showed no deference to Scholar Chaihu as he already knew that Yun Gui Sect’s people had aligned with the Seventh Prince. Now, with the Second Prince heading south to eliminate the Rebel Faction, the surroundings of the prison were filled with the Seventh Prince’s people.

Even if he helped Scholar Chaihu capture the Old Demon Child, outside, they would have to hand the person over to the Seventh Prince and would end up offending the Demon Sect.

"I’ll let you pass."

The Old Demon Child actively stepped aside, allowing Liu Jinhu a path through.

Liu Jinhu looked somewhat surprised at the Old Demon Child.

He had thought that after hiding in the underground palace for over twenty years without seeing daylight, the Old Demon Child would be like a ghostly figure with wild hair. Yet, to his surprise, the Old Demon Child was handsome and imposing, appearing not yet forty, with his dark hair tied into a bun.

Standing in the passage.

The dark aura around him was much denser than Liu Jinhu’s, as if he were a dark war god, with an Iron Wire Demon Zither strapped to his back and wielding a large blade. The passage walls were marked all over with the imprints of his blade strikes.

Before him, Scholar Chaihu and the others were injured, with two drenched in blood. Were it not for the support of magical artifacts, they likely would have perished at the Old Demon Child’s hands already.

In Liu Jinhu’s eyes.

The Old Demon Child seemed like a ghostly presence, mysterious and uncanny, evoking a chill. Confronting such a person, Liu Jinhu had no certainty of victory.

Thus, to the Old Demon Child’s goodwill, he offered a slight bow, intending to bypass Scholar Chaihu and the others to explore the underground palace.

"Kill!"

Seeing Liu Jinhu reject their plea for help and even try to accept the Old Demon Child’s goodwill, Scholar Chaihu and his group couldn’t bear it. At once, the five of them launched another fierce attack on the Old Demon Child in the narrow passage, blocking Liu Jinhu’s path, preventing him from entering easily.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Jinhu shouted in anger.

Glaring at Scholar Chaihu and his companions’ backs, he indeed wanted to strike them down, but he knew doing so would turn the Second Prince and Yun Gui Sect into mortal enemies, ultimately benefiting the Seventh Prince.

Thus, he could only stand there in fuming frustration.

Looking for an opportunity to break in directly.

"Do you think I can’t kill you all?"

The Old Demon Child chuckled darkly.

He was delighted to see Liu Jinhu being enraged to the point of turning red by Scholar Chaihu and the others.

As the five hurled magical artifacts and martial arts at him, the Old Demon Child wielded his long blade, abruptly swinging it out. In the narrow passage, a surge of black blade light instantly swept toward the five.
