Zhou Chengfeng lowered his head, gray-white long hair covering the tension and excitent in his eyes, suppressing the fear in his heart.
For the first ti in twelve years, he felt this kind of emotion.
However, compared to excitent, he felt more uneasy.
During the 37 years of imprisonnt, the Hua Country's high command sent five groups to rescue him.
These were all powerhouses, including kings, but without exception, they all failed, and few managed to escape, with two groups being completely wiped out!
Twelve years have passed, and no one has co to rescue him.
He gradually lost hope as well.
He even thought it was just as well, with no need for pointless sacrifice.
In such a place, facing such surveillance and guard forces, no matter how many powerhouses ca, it was impossible to successfully rescue him.
Even if they could kill all the alien races here, he would surely be slain before his demise.
He had already given up hope, but the sudden bloodline sensing still stirred his emotions.
He longed to be saved, to leave this cursed place, to use his abilities to work for his country, to redeem his sins.
But at the sa ti, he feared it was empty happiness.
This ti, the rescuers included his grandson.
His only grandson.
If this grandson died too, the Zhou family lineage would end, and he would beco the sinner of the Zhou family.
"Perhaps the high command only wants dead!"
A thought suddenly flashed in Zhou Chengfeng's mind.
Because he didn't quite believe in escape, he couldn't understand how he could have a chance.
Perhaps death was the best choice.
"I am under total surveillance. Even if they find , what can they do?"
"Around the cave, eighteen Ninth Grade Martial Artists and Demon Spirit Masters take turns monitoring . Each one is a master, and they can control anyti before rescuing , easily killing ."
"If it's really to kill , death might actually be a relief."
Zhou Chengfeng thought a lot, his expression slightly changing, but it did not attract attention.
The surrounding alien races just assud he hadn't recovered from the earlier ga.
"Zhou Chengfeng, have you thought it over? If you agree to cooperate with the lord, you can live well, and even have a chance to return to your holand!"
The brocade-robed alien asked as usual.
He had been guarding Zhou Chengfeng for seventeen years, asking the sa question for seventeen years, thousands of tis.
But unfortunately, he never got the desired answer.
Zhou Chengfeng refined the Light Brain Beast, possessing the strongest mind, his abilities not limited to rging cultivation techniques and martial skills.
With his ability, he could live well even in captivity.
His bones were just too hard.
In human terms, it ans preferring death over submission.
Unfortunately, he didn't even have the freedom to die.
"Return to the holand? Jiu Xing, do you think I'm a child?"
Zhou Chengfeng lifted his head with a sarcastic expression.
The brocade-robed alien called Jiu Xing smiled and pointed to the corpses in front of him:
"Anything is possible, it's just a matter of cost. If you agree, you won't have caused the deaths of so many innocent people. These people died because of you."
"If I agree, even more people will die in the end!"
"Do you really think humans can stop us?"
"Human powerhouses are not as nurous as yours, but at the mont of extinction, you'll deeply understand what it ans to prefer death in glory over life in disgrace."
Jiu Xing smiled, not arguing further.
Human technology and weapons were indeed their greatest concern, but this threat no longer held great deterrence.
Who would completely give up hope without reaching the last step?
And when the day of their large-scale invasion cos, self-destruction won't be that easy.
Even if it succeeds, it won't be a fatal issue for those emperors.
It's just the worst possible outco!
Who wants to see that scene without reaching the last step?
"I agree!"
Just as Jiu Xing was about to leave, Zhou Chengfeng suddenly said.
"Agree?"
Jiu Xing stopped, slightly stunned, montarily not comprehending, but soon his pupils narrowed slightly, surprised: "You agree to renew the lord's life?"
"Yes, but I want Yue Ming to make a Soul Contract, allowing to leave only after successfully renewing his life."
Zhou Chengfeng said coldly.
He referred to Yue Ming as the lord ntioned by Jiu Xing.
An Extraordinary Powerhouse who lived for over a thousand years, facing the end of his life but desperately seeking to renew it.
Not wanting to die, Yue Ming gathered many thods to renew life.
So were secret skills, others involved bodily modifications.
Yue Ming needed his strongest mind.
Back then, he was tortured in countless ways, but he didn't compromise, forcing Yue Ming to reluctantly give up, only asking him to analyze and rge so cultivation techniques.
The ga of humans slaughtering each other was rely a ans to coerce him into submission.
Jiu Xing was not angry at Zhou Chengfeng's attitude; he scanned Zhou Chengfeng's face, and besides excitent, there was more doubt.
He was surprised at Zhou Chengfeng's drastic attitude change.
If he wanted to agree, there was no need to wait until today.
He could have agreed 37 years ago.
There was no need to suffer those tortures, nor for them to slaughter thousands of humans to coerce him into compliance.
What made Zhou Chengfeng, who wasn't afraid to die, compromise?
"Didn't you say there's no way they'll kill you? Why did you suddenly agree?"
Jiu Xing asked.
Zhou Chengfeng did not answer, only looking at those two dazed children.
What he said was naturally false, he only said it to leave the cave.
Only by leaving would there be a chance to escape.
"Tired, have you resigned yourself?"
Jiu Xing thought to himself.
Based on Zhou Chengfeng's earlier unusual behavior, their plan seed successful.
Zhou Chengfeng finally couldn't hold out.
"Since you agreed, I'll inform Lord Yue Ming."
Jiu Xing said.
Zhou Chengfeng nodded, reminding: "Tell him the premise of renewing his life is signing the Soul Contract, no tricks."
"I will convey it to Lord Yue Ming!"
Jiu Xing nodded, taking one last look at Zhou Chengfeng before turning to leave.
Listening to the discussion between Zhou Chengfeng and Jiu Xing, the two middle-aged n and the elder showed a hint of joy in their eyes.
It seed they were saved.
No longer needing to slaughter each other!
Seeing the joy in the three n's eyes, Zhou Chengfeng had no reaction.
The ga he watched for thirty-seven years, from initial anger to now feeling nothing.
In the face of life, human nature is pathetically fragile.
....
The sky was cloudless, and a giant whale surfaced on the blue sea, bringing a spray of white waves before vanishing again.
Near the cliff, beside the stone gate, two aliens noticed the whale but only glanced at it, thinking nothing of it.
It was the most normal thing to see a sea beast when on the sea.
Inside the Sea Whale's belly, Zhou Yi opened his eyes excitedly and shouted: "We've arrived, it's nearby."
With these words, everyone who was resting with their eyes closed opened them.
Lin Feng was no exception, he looked at Zhou Yi: "How far?"
"No more than three hundred ters."
Zhou Yi affird.
Lin Feng turned to Dong Yunan: "Yu Nan, go out and take a look, don't get discovered."
"Mm, don't worry."
Dong Yunan nodded seriously, responding.
He hadn't been able to help much in normal combat, having little presence. This ti coming to Dahai was her chance to shine, she couldn't let anything go wrong.
She ordered the Sea Whale to open its mouth and, with a flicker like a rmaid, disappeared.
Five minutes later, she appeared again in front of everyone.
Watched by everyone, she quickly said:
"There are no small islands around, only a fifty-ter high, thirty-ter diater cliff edge, with a stone gate forty ters up, and two aliens by the stone gate!"
"That seems to be where the rescue target is hidden inside the stone gate!"
Ye Xing frowned slightly.
Without seeing the rescue target, they couldn't make a plan.
They couldn't quietly approach the rescue target. If discovered, the target risked being torn apart.
"What do we do?"
"We don't know, we can't even see the person!"
The group looked at each other, unable to think of a way.
"Monitor and wait. The bloodline connection is mutual, Elder Zhou inside surely knows we're here; let's wait for him to create an opportunity for us."
Lin Feng said.
Everyone nodded; they could only wait patiently now.
