The creatures inside could be roughly estimated in the hundreds, each one of them imposing and extraordinary.
So seed to have been confined for a long ti and had already grown accustod to life here.
Others were still struggling and roaring, especially upon seeing the arrival of Xu Zii, their roars almost shaking the heavens.
"Are there no rules?" Xu Zii asked, "Can I just randomly choose anyone here?"
"You can choose anyone, but there is one thing you must be aware of.
You can only ask them to fulfill one wish, and the wish shouldn’t exceed their capabilities," the elderly gentleman reminded.
Xu Zii slowly walked up to the cages, and saw that the cage in front of him imprisoned a human.
A man with disheveled hair that nearly reached his waist, covering his entire head.
The only thing visible on the outside were that pair of startling and soul-stirring eyes.
"His na is Tie Liangmu. A few years ago, when the Zi Yang Empire waged war against the Green Wood Empire, he, as the Deputy General of the Zi Yang Empire, defected to the enemy nation.
In the end, it led to the war being lost, the city’s residents being completely slaughtered, and he bears most of the responsibility for these sins," the elderly gentleman introduced on the side.
Xu Zii glanced at the man. He did not speak and rely looked at Xu Zii with eyes devoid of any emotion.
Next, the elderly gentleman introduced several other people to Xu Zii, each one of them with heinous cris.
But none could satisfy Xu Zii.
"What kind of person are you looking for?" the elderly gentleman asked Xu Zii.
"Do you have any criminals from the Netherworld Blood Sea?" Xu Zii asked.
"The Netherworld Blood Sea," the elderly gentleman paused slightly, then said, "Are you sure?"
"What do you an?" Xu Zii frowned slightly.
"Nothing, I’ll take you there," the elderly gentleman said with a smile, shaking his head.
Then, the elderly gentleman led Xu Zii northward. Along the way, the cages were ticulously arranged in a long line.
Xu Zii had no idea how vast this space actually was, just that the more he saw, the more astonished he beca.
Eventually, the two of them stopped in front of a deep purple-colored cage in a corner.
The cage imprisoned a man who looked quite similar to a human but had extrely pale skin.
His skin was an unhealthy white, including his eyes which were devoid of any differentiation between sclera and iris, completely blood-red.
"Is he from the Blood Clan?" Xu Zii could tell there was sothing unusual at first glance.
"To be precise, he is an inferior product created from the combined bloodlines of the Blood Clan and the human race," the elderly gentleman said with a smile.
Seeing the confusion in Xu Zii’s eyes, the elderly gentleman explained, "His father belonged to the human race, and his mother to the Blood Clan."
"I see," Xu Zii nodded slightly.
"He escaped from the Netherworld Blood Sea in those days, breaking into my Good and Evil Inn, and was later imprisoned here by ."
The elderly gentleman continued his recount.
"Unfortunately, most of the creatures here have signed the Good-Evil Contract with , earning their freedom by fulfilling one wish.
But he alone has always refused to sign, and I’m unable to discern what kind of evil he has committed."
"So, what’s the point of you recomnding him to ?" Xu Zii asked, his brows slightly furrowing.
"Don’t be hasty, hear out," the elderly gentleman said with a smile, "He’s the only creature here from the Netherworld Blood Sea.
I’m giving you an option. If you can persuade him to sign the Good-Evil Contract, I’ll allow him to leave with you.
This could be good for you, as you wanted to understand the matters of the Netherworld Blood Sea, didn’t you? He must know quite a bit."
Hearing the elderly gentleman’s words, Xu Zii pondered for a brief mont.
He finally nodded and said, "Can I be alone with him for a while, I’ll try."
"Of course," the elderly gentleman said with a smile and a nod.
Imdiately, he waved his right hand, and a white fog descended, slowly separating Xu Zii and the cage from each other, while he himself gradually faded from view.
......
Xu Zii observed the surroundings for a while and only after confirming that everything was in order did he turn his attention to the man from the Blood Clan.
"I think, we could have a talk?" Xu Zii said with a smile.
As his words fell, the Blood Clan man remained calm, not even sparing him a glance.
"I can take you out of here, set you free, and I can even let you not sign the Good and Evil contract," Xu Zii continued.
"If you want to get out, then talk to .
If you truly wish to die old in here, I’ll leave right now."
Seeing that the Blood Clan man still did not respond, Xu Zii grew tired of wasting ti and stood up, preparing to leave.
"Wait a minute," a slightly hoarse voice ca from behind him.
The voice was very unpleasant to listen to, as if it hadn’t spoken for hundreds of years and the throat had beco rusty.
Seeing that Xu Zii paid him no attention, the man in the cage seed to get anxious.
He frantically banged on the iron bars of the cage and roared, "I am willing to talk."
The sound was so loud, and the movent so intense, that it almost shook the whole space violently.
Xu Zii slowly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the Blood Clan man, saying indifferently, "You think I am begging you?
You don’t seem to understand who the prisoner is here."
"I want to get out," the Blood Clan man said calmly, sitting in the cage.
But Xu Zii could feel the yearning deep inside him.
This man had a big secret, Xu Zii had a hunch.
"Let’s talk about the deal instead," Xu Zii said, turning around.
"What do you want to know?" asked the Blood Clan man.
"Take to the Blood Clan," Xu Zii said.
Although he now knew that the Blood Clan was probably near the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Netherworld Blood Sea was one of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands.
Its vast expanse was such that without a familiar route, Xu Zii would likely never find the Blood Clan’s location, no matter how much ti he had.
Originally, he was planning to try his luck with the Divine Emperor, but now that he had encountered the Good and Evil Inn, he might as well try his chances here.
"What do you intend to do?" the Blood Clan man asked warily, looking at Xu Zii.
"You care quite a bit about the Blood Clan, don’t you?" Xu Zii said with a smile.
"Logically, since you have human blood, the Blood Clan should despise you."
In Yuan Central Continent, there are countless races, and actually, the human race and the Monster Race, due to their vast numbers,
which is to say that with a large enough forest, there are all kinds of birds, make them the most inclusive.
Many other races, however, place great importance on their own bloodline and certain things.
People like this man, with the blood of other races, should not be accepted by the Blood Clan.
"That’s none of your business, what do you want with the Blood Clan?" the man asked.
"I an no harm, I’m just going for an item," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"I can take you there," the man pondered for a mont, then finally nodded and said.
