Chapter 769: Chapter 766: Soul Prison
“Kill or flay , do as you please!” the East Desolate Wolf snorted coldly.
At this mont, he had already co to terms with his fate.
Falling into the hands of Emperor Ye, his end was all but certain.
So, he simply couldn’t be bothered to say more.
Ye Xuan looked down at the East Desolate Wolf who lay prostrate on the steps below him and said with an indifferent smile, “The once frail little wolf cub, has now turned into a wolf king with backbone, hasn’t he?”
“You seem to have forgotten the pitiful state you were in at the hands of the Demon Hunter back then.”
Upon hearing this, the East Desolate Wolf fell silent and said nothing.
In this world, there are many professions, such as Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, Spirit Array Masters, Divine Talisman Masters, Divine Puppet Masters, and among them are Demon Hunters.
True to their na, Demon Hunters specialize in hunting demons.
Apart from their own heritage, the more valuable reason is that the bodies of demons are worth a lot of money.
The true form of the East Desolate Wolf was that of the Desolate Wolf, a genuine prival rare breed. Such beings were extrely rare in the world, which was why, apart from Demon Hunters, ordinary Cultivators would also set their sights on them.
For both Demon Hunters and Cultivators, the entirety of the Desolate Wolf’s body was treasure.
Back then, the East Desolate Wolf was just beginning his Cultivation, and the Demon Hunter who targeted him was a top-level Demon Hunter renowned throughout the Nine States Land.
Being eyed by such an entity, the East Desolate Wolf had no choice but death.
And it was at that ti, Ye Xuan, who was passing through the East Desolate, saw this fellow was quite intelligent, and thus conveniently saved him from that top-level Demon Hunter.
After noticing the wolf’s good comprehension, Ye Xuan imparted a Cultivation Technique to him, left behind an Array Realm to aid his Dao confirmation, and then departed.
To Ye Xuan, this might’ve been an insignificant gesture, but for the East Desolate Wolf, who was already on the brink of despair, this was a life-saving grace combined with the kindness of imparting a doctrine!
As the saying goes, a small kindness should be repaid with a spring-like bounty, not to ntion the grace of saving one’s life and imparting wisdom.
Perhaps Ye Xuan never expected the East Desolate Wolf to repay the kindness, but that’s Ye Xuan.
No matter what, the East Desolate Wolf should have repaid the favor, but not only did he fail to do so, he even joined the rebel Double Emperor Camp against Ye Xuan.
This was the very definition of biting the hand that feeds you.
Seeing the East Desolate Wolf remain silent, Ye Xuan smiled nonchalantly, stood up from the threshold, and walked towards the East Desolate Wolf along the steps, saying as he walked, “Among the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there’s a saying among your Wolf Clan, ‘A wolf that turns back has a reason, it’s either out of gratitude or for revenge.'”
“Now tell , what is the grievance between you and ?”
Ye Xuan stopped in front of the East Desolate Wolf, looking down at him.
Standing beside him, Qiao Xinyu looked down at the East Desolate Wolf lying on the ground, a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
In the Revenge Lineage, betrayal ans a death sentence.
This East Desolate Wolf was indeed not worth pitying!
The East Desolate Wolf looked up, trying to see Ye Xuan, but could only catch a glimpse of his feet. He said through gritted teeth, “I joined the Double Emperor Camp in those days because I had no choice.”
“Had I not joined the Double Emperor Camp, death was certain.”
“You fear death?” Ye Xuan asked with a smirk and then added, “I almost forgot, indeed, you do fear death.”
The East Desolate Wolf said somberly, “Then let ask you, do you not fear death?”
Ye Xuan suddenly let out a long laugh skywards.
“Why do you laugh?” the East Desolate Wolf asked darkly.
“The leader is known as the—Undying Night Emperor.” Qiao Xinyu stated flatly, and when she ntioned ‘Undying Night Emperor,’ her eyes were filled with respect.
“Undying Night Emperor?” the East Desolate Wolf began to laugh, his face laced with mockery, “Then how did you die? You’re nothing but a body undergoing re-cultivation now, do you think you’re still the Undying Night Emperor?”
“Who told you this Emperor is dead?” Ye Xuan contained his laughter and uttered slowly, “Do you really think those two traitors could kill this Emperor?”
A body undergoing re-cultivation?
Maybe in the eyes of those people, he is now a body undergoing re-cultivation.
But who knows, this is his true body!
With the Emperor Soul still existing, who dares to declare he’s dead?
“Well then, let’s show you, a wild dog without any of the wolf’s traits, what it ans to be the Undying Night Emperor.”
Ye Xuan stared at the East Desolate Wolf and slightly raised his hand.
Hum————
An intangible force lifted the East Desolate Wolf into the air, finally allowing him to look directly at Ye Xuan.
However, due to Qiao Xinyu’s strike which sealed away the East Desolate Wolf’s power, he couldn’t do anything now but watch helplessly.
The mont the East Desolate Wolf’s gaze t with Ye Xuan’s and they were on the sa level, the East Desolate Wolf felt his world undergo earth-shattering changes.
He himself was rapidly shrinking, while Ye Xuan was growing larger at a swift pace.
In the blink of an eye, he beca a speck of dust.
And Ye Xuan transford into a supre Heavenly Emperor, with a crown touching the stars and feet planted on the continent.
At this mont, Ye Xuan was regarding him with a detached look.
In an instant, the East Desolate Wolf found himself involuntarily prostrating on the ground, trembling violently—a shudder from his soul made him kneel instinctively.
Wasn’t this the sa feeling he had when facing Ye Xuan years ago?!
“This is impossible…”
“Why…”
The East Desolate Wolf continued to shake uncontrollably, his heart a storm of shock and awe.
“His strength hasn’t disappeared at all?!”
The earlier mockery and scoffing had vanished at this mont, leaving only astonishnt and terror!
“In the past, I saved you because I felt that the Desolate Wolf bloodline in this world was dwindling, and I intended to let you be the wolf leader, but you insisted on being a dog,” said Ye Xuan, his words slow and asured.
“Emperor Ye, spare my life, it’s the little wolf’s fault, the little wolf was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again!”
At this mont, the East Desolate Wolf was thoroughly panicked, begging for rcy over and over again.
Ye Xuan’s expression was indifferent as he looked down on the East Desolate Wolf, insignificant as dust, and said lightly, “Since you’re so afraid of dying, I’ll leave your fate in your hands. Survive the Soul Prison for three days, and this Emperor shall spare your life.”
As he spoke, Ye Xuan pointed a finger.
Hum————
In an instant, within this endless darkness, a terrifying prison appeared out of nowhere, instantly swallowing the East Desolate Wolf within.
“No——————”
The East Desolate Wolf let out a piercing scream of agony.
Soul Prison—what did that signify? A prison for the soul.
Within that prison, there were countless tortures.
Let alone three days, even three seconds were enough to drive one to despair.
Who could withstand a punishnt at the level of the soul?
In this world, probably only Ye Xuan was unafraid.
His Invincible Emperor Soul was forged through endless trials and tribulations.
Years ago, he was captured and thrown into the Soul Prison for a hundred thousand years.
A hundred thousand years of tornt.
But because the seal on that Undying Monster Body was so terrifying, Ye Xuan’s soul could not be extinguished, lingering on the edge of life and death.
It was after that ordeal that Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul had beco increasingly fearso.
And now, it was ti for the East Desolate Wolf to experience the pain Ye Xuan had endured back then.
Three days—if he could withstand it, Emperor Ye might let him live.
If he could not, then he would die.
“What happened to that guy…”
At the entrance of the Desolate Wolf Palace, Huang Yue and Zhou Youwei couldn’t hear the conversation between Ye Xuan and the East Desolate Wolf; Ye Xuan had intentionally made it so.
As a result, to Huang Yue and Zhou Youwei, it seed as if Ye Xuan walked over to the East Desolate Wolf and said sothing to him.
Right afterward, the East Desolate Wolf was levitated, his face pale and filled with terror, looking as if he had seen sothing horrifying.
And now, his body was convulsing, foaming at the mouth, and then blood flowed from all seven facial orifices—an utterly tragic sight.
“Xinyu, you stay here and watch him, notify of the outco after three days,” Ye Xuan said without looking back at the East Desolate Wolf as he turned and left.
“Yes, Young Master,” Qiao Xinyu replied respectfully.
“Senior, was that guy really the Guardian God of the East Desolate?” Huang Yue asked Ye Xuan, who was returning, voicing the doubt in his heart.
“You at least ca from the Mountain God Dao; do you really believe in such talk?” Ye Xuan gave Huang Yue a glance.
Huang Yue could only scratch his head in embarrassnt.
Indeed, if there really was a Guardian God of the East Desolate, records of it would undoubtedly exist in the Mountain God Dao.
It’s just that he had heard many stories about the Guardian God of the East Desolate, leading him to be sowhat skeptical.
However, with Ye Xuan’s words, it felt like a confirmation that the Guardian God of the East Desolate did not exist.
It was just a rumor gone wild.
“However, the Daozhou Land indeed has its Guardian God, but not in the East Desolate,” Ye Xuan said with a faint smile.
Not only Daozhou.
The remaining Eight States also had their Guardian Gods.
Together, they were known as the Guardian Gods of the Nine States.
