Chapter 317 Continuing the Deception
"Young Master, you..." Xiao Xingchen's eyes were filled with tears and gratitude.
Shen Hao actually shielded him with his own body, his blood staining the sky, which overwhelmed him with emotion.
"It's alright, I'm glad you're alright, sir."
Shen Hao, his face grim, flung away the ghost sword. The white bones on his hand were clearly visible, and his gaze towards Ling Xue held a chilling glint.
"The name 'Ghost Swordsman' is well-deserved. I will personally pluck your head off another day."
He uttered a harsh threat and was about to leave, but Ling Xue instantly appeared in front of him again.
"Trying to leave? Have you asked the sword in my hand first?"
"You go first, I'll deal with this woman."
Shen Li took the initiative to stop them.
"it is good,"
Shen Hao suddenly grabbed Xiao Xingchen's wrist, his fingertips probing her pulse with true energy that slithered like a venomous snake. The restriction left by the Demon Lord within Xiao Xingchen's body suddenly backfired, pulverizing that true energy.
"Sir, you are truly a man of great hidden talent." Shen Hao wiped the blood from his lips, his eyes gleaming brightly. At this moment, he had no doubts about the white-robed scholar.
"At midnight tonight, please accompany my Shen family cultivators to prison. If what you say is true..." He leaned close to Xiao Xingchen's ear, his voice filled with chilling coldness, "I, Shen, will reward you handsomely."
The Shen family cultivators were still locked in combat with the Xuanjia Army until Xiao Xingchen disappeared with Shen Hao, at which point they finally stopped.
Above the void, Ling Xue's Ghost Sword slashed down the last Shen family cultivator, and she smiled as she watched Shen Li quickly leave.
The Shen family has already entered the game; next up is Tianling.
The fact that the white-robed scholar possessed a map of the Demon-Suppressing Prison immediately alarmed everyone in the aftermath of the battle. The Shen family patriarch personally received Xiao Xingchen at the first opportunity.
With this, all the questions about the white-robed scholar were answered, and Xiao Xingchen also explained the situation to the people in the Shen family's camp.
"That's the truth. King Kao Shan is dead, but he mistakenly entered the Immortal Prison and learned the secret of our Shan family through that intelligence. That's how he found me. My family, located on Mount Ming, is the last guardian family of the Immortal Prison."
"The Mountain Family..." As the old man looked up, the twelve soul lamps behind the screen flickered on and off simultaneously.
"Having lived for thousands of years, how come I have never heard of a family that guards tombs?"
Faced with the question posed by the Shen family patriarch, everyone else also showed confusion.
“My ancestors recorded that 30,000 years ago, the Jade Capital Heaven fell, causing the laws of heaven and earth to collapse. Immortal corpses mutated and formed black mist. The Demon Suppression Prison was actually a prison for imprisoning the immortal corpses. However, later, due to the great war between immortals and demons, those great demons were not destroyed. Therefore, the Jade Capital Heaven re-established the Nine-Story Demon Tower to suppress them along with the mutated immortal corpses.”
"Over time, it became known as the Demon-Suppressing Prison. Actually, the name Demon-Suppressing Prison was originally given by Xiao Xingchen; this place wasn't originally called that."
Xiao Xingchen spoke slowly, recalling scenes from fantasy movies from his past life, and kept trying to persuade them. Only after seeing their expressions soften did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the ancients were easily fooled; as long as they were associated with immortals, it represented mystery.
"According to you, this is where immortal corpses are imprisoned, but why haven't we seen the immortal corpses you mentioned?" Shen Hao pressed.
"The Demon Tower has nine levels, so how could the imprisonment of immortal corpses be so simple? What we are seeing now is only the surface. The real purpose of this place is hunting. Only when you truly enter the core will you see the real Immortal Imprisonment Prison."
"Hunting?" Everyone was shocked.
"Could the legend be true?" The Shen family patriarch's expression changed upon hearing this, prompting the others to ask the same question.
"Ancestor, what do you know?"
"I've heard a legend before, the Immortal Hunt. Could this be the land of the Immortal Hunt?"
"What is Immortal Hunting?" Xiao Xingchen was delighted. He really didn't know how to explain this concept of hunting, but the old man had explained it himself.
"As the name suggests, it's an immortal hunt,"
"Immortal hunting?" everyone asked, but the Shen family patriarch seemed unwilling to dwell on the matter any longer and instead pressed for more information.
"So how did you break ties with those women?"
"Alas, this is the difference between men and others. During the cooperation with them, I found that their appetites were too great, and they even coveted the secrets of my Shan family. That's why I broke with them. That woman wanted to kill me to prevent the news from getting out. I beg you all to do justice for me."
Xiao Xingchen, with tears streaming down her face, delivered a moving speech that immediately garnered much approval.
They also deeply admired Ling Xue and the others' actions, believing they would have done the same, taking the treasures of the Demon Suppression Prison for themselves; they probably all harbored such a desire deep down.
“Sir, you are very righteous. Rest assured, our Shen family will definitely stand up for you. Now that you have joined our Shen family, you are naturally a member of our family. If they dare to continue to cause trouble, I don’t mind teaching them a lesson.”
"Thank you all."
"Now there's just one problem: how do we get into this Immortal Prison?"
"Since you all treat me this way, then I naturally have no need to hide anything," he continued, trying to deceive them.
“The three characters ‘Prison of Immortals’ should be read separately.” He dipped his brush in tea and wrote the seal script on the table.
"The character 'prisoner' refers to the chains forged from the Nine Netherworld Black Iron, and the character 'immortal' refers to the cultivators of the Twelve Towers of Jade Capital. This prison..."
The key point is the final watermark on the fingertip.
"What's trapped here are the corpses of immortals from back then, but these corpses were once immortals themselves, and their identities are the key to entering the Immortal Imprisonment Prison,"
Xiao Xingchen took out a fragment of bronze from his person. The four characters "Yujing Edict" were faintly visible among the mottled rust. It was the unknown item he had picked up at the edge of the black mist.
"This item should be embedded in the Xun position array eye of the Immortal Prison." Xiao Xingchen's pupils contracted slightly.
"When the nine chains fully appeared..." He gazed at the eerie light shooting into the sky outside the window.
"Using the bloodline of the Shan family as a guide, we can open the map of the Immortal Prison. On the map, you will find everything you want to know." These words were taught to him by Xizhu. He didn't ask why, but he just felt that these words were very mysterious and could fool people.
"You mean... using bloodline as a catalyst to unlock the Immortal Imprisonment Map?" The Shen family patriarch asked again, puzzled.
"Yes, is there something wrong with it?"
"No, no, then I will wait patiently for you to open the Immortal Prison for us. If what you say is true, then there is not only the inheritance of a great demon here, but also the treasures left behind by the Twelve Immortals. This time, it may be the key for us to leave the Cloud Recesses."
"Of course, you saved me, so I should repay you all. But I don't know about Tianling's side?" Xiao Xingchen asked doubtfully.
