Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1149 - 1135: Astounding Skills Amaze the Audience

Under the leadership of Jialuo Prison Master.

Xiao Yi and his party entered the Jialuo Realm City’s Prison Master’s Mansion.

The mansion was incredibly vast, especially since almost all the living beings within the Jialuo Domain had been sacrificed and refined into the Chaotic Blood Lotus by Jialuo Prison Master.

The first to suffer were the creatures of Jialuo Realm City itself.

Thus.

Now, aside from Xiao Yi and his group, the entire realm city was populated only by those dazed and mindless worshippers lingering near the Chaos Altar. All of them were enslaved by the spiritual control of Jialuo Prison Master, and unless his Primordial Spirit shattered,

or he chose to undo this control through a specific Secret Technique, these people would never wake up.

Because of this.

Xiao Yi and his party’s arrival did not draw any attention from anyone.

"Ever since I discovered the ruins of the sub-palace, I’ve fortified this place layer upon layer. No one but me knows its secrets. Along the way, there are no fewer than ten thousand traps. Without my guidance, even a Saintly Sovereign wouldn’t dare dream of breaking in..." Jialuo Prison Master, held firmly within Xiao Yi’s palm, boasted proudly, his Primordial Spirit glowing with arrogance.

But...

Xiao Yi walked through as though it were flat ground.

Those so-called mechanisms and traps Jialuo Prison Master was so proud of? Not a single one was triggered.

Xiao Yi avoided every single one with uncanny precision.

Zhang Ming furrowed his brow in suspicion: "Are there really traps here?"

"Jialuo Prison Master, were you just babbling nonsense?" Abi Prison Master looked at him with a strange expression and teased sarcastically.

Shura Prison Master’s face was filled with ridicule.

"..."

Jialuo Prison Master’s face turned an array of livid shades. Even though he only had a Primordial Spirit left, the embarrassment and disbelief painted vividly on his face were undeniable.

His expression was as though someone had slapped him dozens of times.

His face burned with shame!

At this moment, Jialuo Prison Master’s spirit had completely collapsed...

The thousands of traps he had poured his life’s work into to guard the sub-palace ruins were now rendered entirely useless before Xiao Yi.

He couldn’t help but recall his earlier boastful claims. Watching Xiao Yi stride unhindered down the passageway.

Jialuo Prison Master couldn’t even muster the will to live anymore.

This was so unbelievably vexing...

Huff!

Jialuo Prison Master’s Primordial Spirit flickered, masking his dismay with an awkward laugh. Trying to appear composed, he spoke: "I didn’t expect Lord Xiao to be so well-versed in traps and mechanisms. Truly admirable! However, these traps are but a trivial matter. The real challenge lies with the formations guarding the ruins of the sub-palace. Even I spent thousands of years to enter just the first layer..."

"Are the formations so intricate?"

"Utterly complex?"

The group turned curious glances toward Jialuo Prison Master.

Shura Prison Master rubbed his chin and said gravely, "In the field of formations, there’s truly no one in the vast Endless Ice Prison who can rival Jialuo Prison Master. It took him thousands of years to crack the first layer—this sub-palace must indeed be no easy feat!"

Jialuo Prison Master’s expression relaxed somewhat after hearing this, sneaking a glance at Xiao Yi.

He was waiting for Xiao Yi to seek his help in deciphering the formations.

Then, he could use it as leverage to negotiate his survival.

But...

Even as they arrived at the sub-palace ruins, Xiao Yi still hadn’t uttered a word, causing a gnawing unease to grow in Jialuo Prison Master’s heart: Could it be... he also understands formations? Impossible, these are ancient formations, how could he possibly understand them...

Just then.

The group finally passed through a narrow corridor and arrived at the entrance of the sub-palace ruins.

The entire sub-palace was a deep crimson color.

Its architectural style was remarkably archaic.

The crimson walls encircled the palace in three layers, though many of the formations on the first layer were visibly damaged, likely from the time Zhao Wuji had knocked this sub-palace down from the Hall of Longevity.

Had the formations of the first layer not been broken, Jialuo Prison Master wouldn’t have been able to access it.

"Lord Xiao, the formations on this first layer number nine hundred and thirty-two, including..." Jialuo Prison Master began tentatively, eager to speak since Xiao Yi hadn’t yet sought his assistance.

But...

Before he could finish.

Xiao Yi had already approached the entrance and with a wave of his arm flung out a series of formation stones.

Thud thud thud!

These stones landed silently around the first layer’s entrance.

Each stone, upon touching the walls, rippled like drops into a lake, then seamlessly merged inside.

In the blink of an eye.

A burst of dazzling light shot skyward. The brilliance on the walls grew even more resplendent, interweaving perfectly to form a complete formation diagram.

The diagram was unmistakably one cohesive system!

Shura Prison Master drew in a sharp breath; he had some knowledge of formations himself: "This isn’t nine hundred some formations—it’s a single formation! Just composed of thousands of smaller ones. Previously it appeared fragmented due to damage, but the master has now completely restored and reactivated the array..."

"Marvelous! Lord Xiao’s mastery in the art of formations is truly unparalleled!" Abi Prison Master was full of admiration.

Jialuo Prison Master: "￥%...&*"

This was so vexing...

Originally, he intended to use this opportunity to show off and compel Xiao Yi into promising his safety, perhaps even earning some benefits in return.

In the end...

Xiao Yi took one glance and saw through the true nature of this formation.

Making his millennia of research appear utterly ridiculous.

Xiao Yi dispelled the protective formation of the first layer, then glanced down at the Jialuo Prison Master in his palm and asked with feigned confusion: "You said you studied this formation for thousands of years? This thing—thousands of years?"

Jialuo Prison Master: "..."

Even with only a Primordial Spirit left, he felt his face burn with shame!

Xiao Yi shook his head and stepped through the entrance of the first layer.

The first layer had long since been destroyed by Zhao Wuji, leaving behind very little. The refinements for the Chaotic Blood Lotus Jialuo Prison Master acquired were among the few preserved Secret Techniques.

Xiao Yi gave the first layer only a cursory glance before quickly losing interest. He looked to Shura Prison Master and the others: "Search through this area and see if there’s anything useful left!"

Casually tossing Jialuo Prison Master’s Primordial Spirit to Shura Prison Master.

Xiao Yi walked toward the entrance of the second layer.

Shura Prison Master grinned maliciously at Jialuo Prison Master: "Jialuo, master is about to head into the second layer. You’ve spent tens of thousands of years without cracking it—how long do you think it will take my master?"

"Hmph!"

Jialuo Prison Master snorted coldly, declaring with confidence, "The formations on the second layer are hundreds of times more intricate and complex than the first! Even if Lord Xiao excels, he’ll need at least several dozen or hundreds—"

Before he could finish.

Xiao Yi had already dispelled the second layer formation and stepped into the third layer.

Jialuo Prison Master: "..."

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was unaware of Jialuo Prison Master’s utterly shattered psyche as he combed through the second layer, though it yielded little of value.

But as he approached the entrance to the third layer, he felt a subtle tremor within the Ancient Heavenly Tomb inside him.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, his eyes blazing as they locked onto the tightly shut doors of the third layer: "To think it could resonate with the Ancient Heavenly Tomb—what’s hidden in this third layer? Don’t let me down..."

With that.

Xiao Yi stepped toward the third layer... freeweɓnovel-cøm
