Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1148 - 1134: Jialuo Offers a Secret

"I’ll take you down with me!"

Jialuo Prison Master’s eyes were bloodshot, his gaze blazing with fury. His face contorted into a cruel expression, twisted by hatred.

His teeth clenched, his bitterness vast as the heavens.

The force of the world around Jialuo Prison Master surged and swirled, transforming into rings upon rings of gray light floating behind him.

Within each of those rings, one could glimpse another realm.

That realm was filled with massive infernal landscapes.

Hell was teeming with ghastly spirits, demonic beasts, and ruling demon gods.

The suffocating, dark aura permeated every corner of the abyss.

The gray rings behind Jialuo Prison Master hovered and spun, releasing deafening hums that caused the void itself to tremble without cease. Abruptly, Jialuo Prison Master transformed into a streak of gray light, hurtling down toward Xiao Yi. For the sake of this Chaotic Blood Lotus, he had poured in the effort of his lifetime.

He had also lain dormant within this Endless Ice Prison for tens of millennia!

Now, success was finally within reach.

Once he devoured the Chaotic Blood Lotus, he could ascend to the Saint Sovereign realm, re-conquer the Endless Ice Prison, and seize the fragments of keys held by the other three prison overlords. With these, he would break free from this cage as a Saint Sovereign.

Then, in Qingtian Realm, he’d create his sixth grand sanctuary!

But now...

Because of Xiao Yi’s intrusion, his countless millennia of scheming were reduced to ash.

In this moment.

There was only one thought in his mind: Kill Xiao Yi!

"Master, beware!"

"This is bad! Lord Xiao is in the midst of refining the Chaotic Blood Lotus and likely cannot evade Jialuo Prison Master’s attack..."

"Why would he choose this moment to refine the lotus? Isn’t this like deliberately giving Jialuo Prison Master a perfect opportunity?" Abi Prison Master’s face was clouded with confusion, and even his gaze toward Xiao Yi carried a hint of disdain.

But Shura Prison Master’s eyes gleamed sharply as he muttered in a low voice, "You’re correct. Master did it purposely..."

"Huh?"

Abi Prison Master froze in shock.

The next instant...

Jialuo Prison Master had already reached Xiao Yi. Within the four rotating rings were scenes of hell, rising and falling. In the chilling, ominous infernal scenery, the four light wheels spun furiously, as though they had become a World-Ending Roulette.

"Die!"

Jialuo Prison Master’s face twisted maliciously, bringing the four light wheels down toward Xiao Yi with all his might.

It seemed inevitable that the attack would strike him.

Just at this critical juncture...

Xiao Yi suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of icy light flashing within them. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He let out a cold smile and said, "You couldn’t have come at a better time!"

"What?"

Jialuo Prison Master’s face froze, revealing a look of horror.

He had realized he had fallen for a trap!

Xiao Yi wasn’t refining the Chaotic Blood Lotus at all; it had been a meticulously arranged deception, baiting him to strike!

But...

When Jialuo Prison Master attempted to retreat, it was already too late.

In this life-or-death moment.

Xiao Yi’s hands glowed with radiant flows of power, one bearing the form of a dragon and the other a tiger, both attaching themselves to his palms.

Dragon roars and tiger howls!

The sun and moon dimmed.

Where his hands swept, the four infernal light wheels were forcibly torn apart. Under Jialuo Prison Master’s incredulous gaze, Xiao Yi’s hand pierced through his chest with a deafening bang. Gripping his heart tightly, the tiger’s maw let loose a fierce roar and crushed his heart into pieces with a resounding explosion.

Simultaneously.

The dragon-shaped right hand rose up and obliterated Jialuo Prison Master’s skull.

The primordial spirit escaped in a desperate flight.

But before it could flee.

Xiao Yi’s hand clasped the spirit tightly. His face betrayed no emotion as he stared at the glowing blue soul trapped in his grip.

Jialuo Prison Master’s primordial spirit now displayed an expression of sheer terror. With his physical body destroyed, only his spirit remained. If the spirit were to be destroyed, he would truly face complete annihilation. Caught between life and death, Jialuo Prison Master pleaded pitifully, "Lord Xiao, spare me! I-I am willing to submit to you..."

"Submit to me? What use do I have for a mere primordial spirit like yours?" Xiao Yi sneered coldly.

"I..."

Jialuo Prison Master’s translucent visage turned pale. He knew Xiao Yi was right; as a mere spirit now, he was less valuable than Zhang Ming, and desperation overtook him like ants swarming a hot pan. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I—I can reveal a secret to you, as long as you spare me..."

"A secret?"

Xiao Yi raised his brows slightly, intrigued. "Well, let’s hear it. What kind of secret would make sparing your miserable life worthwhile?"

Jialuo Prison Master had been imprisoned in Endless Ice Prison since ancient times.

What intrigued Xiao Yi further...

The refining method for the Chaotic Blood Lotus had been strictly forbidden by the Hall of Longevity during ancient times. Not even the teachings of entities as powerful as the Twin Star Daoist, Wind Thunder Sovereign, or Martial God Zhao Wuji contained such details.

Yet Jialuo Prison Master had managed to acquire this forbidden knowledge.

Xiao Yi did not believe Jialuo Prison Master had possessed the status or access to such secrets during ancient times.

He suspected that the method had been obtained after Jialuo Prison Master’s imprisonment in Endless Ice Prison.

Sure enough...

Jialuo Prison Master’s next words confirmed Xiao Yi’s suspicions. "Within Endless Ice Prison, there lies a Hall of Longevity sub-palace ruin."

*Gasp!*

At this revelation.

The surrounding prison masters, including Shura and Abi, audibly sucked in cold breaths.

A Hall of Longevity sub-palace?

The mighty imprisoned figures in Endless Ice Prison understood well how terrifying and powerful the Hall of Longevity had been during ancient times. Of the ten Longevity Secret Realms in Qingtian Realm, nine had been born from the Hall of Longevity. If not for the emergence of a monstrous prodigy like Martial God Zhao Wuji, no force could have challenged its dominance.

"There’s truly a Hall of Longevity sub-palace within Endless Ice Prison?"

"Is that real? Why have I never heard of such a thing..."

All eyes fell on Jialuo Prison Master.

Xiao Yi’s eyes sparkled.

He was certain Jialuo Prison Master wasn’t lying—the Endless Ice Prison truly contained a Hall of Longevity sub-palace ruin.

Moreover...

Xiao Yi had begun to suspect Fang Ru’s motive in imprisoning him in Endless Ice Prison. Perhaps it was to make him uncover this very ruin.

At this thought.

Xiao Yi forcefully calmed the surge of excitement within his heart, gazing at Jialuo Prison Master with a composed expression. "Tell me, where precisely is this sub-palace ruin? What lies within it? If I deem its value sufficient to trade for your life, I won’t kill you."

*Huff!*

Jialuo Prison Master exhaled deeply with relief. Although he was reluctant to reveal this secret to Xiao Yi, he had no choice if he wanted to survive.

Jialuo Prison Master said, "The sub-palace ruin lies beneath Jialuo Realm City. It was detached from the Hall of Longevity and fell into Endless Ice Prison during Zhao Wuji’s campaign against the Hall. The method I used to refine the Chaotic Blood Lotus comes from this ruin. But the sub-palace is protected by layers upon layers of formations. Even after thousands of years, I’ve yet to fully unravel them..."

Xiao Yi’s eyes shimmered slightly.

For Jialuo Prison Master—a being of considerable power—to fail in breaking into the ruin despite countless millennia.

This was proof that its treasures remained untouched.

At this thought.

Xiao Yi fixed his gaze on Jialuo Prison Master’s spirit. "Lead the way. Take me to this ruin..."

Deep within his heart, Xiao Yi felt a strong sense of certainty that this ruin would bring him unprecedented gains...
