The mont she arrived in Uguria, Jiang Yunnuan sensed Si Xie’s location through their contract.
Once she had her target, she didn’t need to ask around for the Beast Fighting Arena or the Silver Fox. Instead, she just gave Yan Chen the coordinates for him to use Instant Teleportation.
That was why Yan Chen was only just now learning the reason for her desperate rush to this place.
"Yes, I’ve been looking for him this whole ti. Didn’t you know that?"
Hearing his words, Jiang Yunnuan was jolted back to her senses.
She realized she was still inside his Domain. Until he released it, she couldn’t touch those people, let alone kill them.
They couldn’t see her either.
She suppressed the murderous aura raging within her, turned to Yan Chen, and spoke urgently.
"Please, release your Domain first. Let save him. We can talk about whatever you want later, okay?"
The Silver Fox in the iron cage was already covered in bloody wounds, his skin split open and his flesh mangled. And those detestable bastards were still beating him. There was no more ti to waste.
"Using to save that Fox Beastman? Have you forgotten that I am your master, not your bodyguard?"
He narrowed his eyes. His cool fingertips lifted her chin, and his frigid voice was laced with danger.
The sound of a whip striking flesh filled her ears. Overco with anxiety, Jiang Yunnuan grabbed the corner of his robes and explained.
"I didn’t tell you about this beforehand because I couldn’t confirm his identity before we ca. Okay, I was wrong. Even if I wasn’t sure, I should have told you first."
"I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. What will it take for you to not be angry?"
At her words, he let out a cold laugh. His pitch-black eyes were devoid of emotion as he stared fixedly at her.
Jiang Yunnuan grew increasingly uncomfortable under his gaze.
But the situation didn’t allow for evasion. She bit her lip, steeled herself, and cast aside all her pride and dignity. Lowering her gaze, she swallowed her sha and begged in a low voice.
"Master, I was wrong. I beg you not to be angry. I beg you to forgive . I beg you to open your Domain..."
That one word, "Master," followed by her three pleas, seed to finally satisfy him.
His expression finally shifted. He narrowed his dark eyes and said, "This alone isn’t enough. You must also agree to one condition."
"Fine, no problem, Master. So... can you open the Domain now?"
At a critical mont like this, she would have agreed to ten conditions, let alone just one.
Right now, nothing was more important than getting Si Xie out of here.
As for everything else, it could wait.
She agreed so readily, yet he didn’t feel as happy as he’d imagined. Instead, a strange sullenness settled in his heart.
Seeing him still not making a move, Jiang Yunnuan couldn’t hold back. She gently tugged his sleeve, her eyes filled with urgency.
"Master?"
Although it was just one word, it was filled with urging.
Yan Chen snapped back to reality, his already sullen mood worsening. With a cold expression, he waved his hand and dispelled the Domain.
The mont the Domain vanished, the two of them appeared out of thin air, imdiately drawing the attention of the surrounding Beastn. The crowd of Beastn were stunned, staring at them dumbfounded, utterly shocked.
This was the Underground Dark Prison. Countless Beastn stood guard above, and every entrance was sealed so tightly that not even a fly could get in without permission.
’How did two living people get in here?’
"Who are you???"
After coming to his senses, a burly and imposing Elephant Beastman drew the Light Bullet Gun from his waist and aid it at them, his expression on high alert.
To be able to appear here without anyone noticing, these two were definitely not to be trifled with. They had to be treated with extre caution.
"I’m your ancestor!"
Jiang Yunnuan cursed, crushing several Jade Talismans in her hand and throwing them out.
The mont the Jade Talismans were thrown, they shot out countless rays of light. In the blink of an eye, the rays rapidly crisscrossed, forming a blinding, inescapable net that trapped the Beastn.
"Nine Heavens Thunder Fire, by my command, descend!"
She flicked out a talisman.
The air around them began to churn violently with a series of CRACKLES.
BOOM...
Countless bolts of purple lightning struck down from above as clusters of red flas erupted from the ground. Inside the net of light, the Beastn scrambled to dodge, creating a scene of total chaos.
ROAR...
Startled, the ferocious beasts in the surrounding cages grew agitated and frenzied, their massive bodies repeatedly ramming against the iron bars. The scene was spiraling out of control.
Yan Chen, who had been about to step forward and shield her, raised an eyebrow at the sight and abandoned the idea.
’So these are the tricks she ca up with from all that carving, writing, and drawing she’s been doing?’
’They’re actually quite powerful!’
The power of that Array combined with the thunder and fire was likely sothing no one below the Fifth Rank of the Deformation Stage could withstand. Those above the Fifth Rank might be able to fight back for a bit.
’If she continues her Cultivation, the power of this Array and its thunder fire will multiply as her own Cultivation grows stronger. It’s a decent trick.’
Jiang Yunnuan threw a few more talismans before striding over to the massive iron cage, which was locked.
Looking at the specially forged iron lock, she summoned the Spirit Sword that had been upgraded from her Iron Sword after being tempered. She swung it forcefully at the lock. Sparks flew, but the lock didn’t even budge.
’Dammit, how can this stupid thing be so sturdy?’
Jiang Yunnuan gritted her teeth. Refusing to give up, she hacked at it dozens more tis. Her arm grew numb from the vibrations, but the lock remained perfectly intact, without so much as a scratch.
’So frustrating!’
She raised her sword, turned, and stord furiously toward the Beastn trapped in the thunder and fire.
Suddenly, a hand clamped down on her shoulder, and Yan Chen’s cold voice sounded in her ear.
"Where are you going?"
"To force them to hand over the key!"
Jiang Yunnuan replied without looking up, her eyes spitting fire.
’If I can’t break the lock, I’ll go for their heads. I refuse to believe their heads are as hard as that iron lock.’
"How unnecessary."
Yan Chen said flatly.
He then turned and walked to the iron cage. Pinching the lock between two fingers, he applied a little pressure. CRACK. After the crisp sound, the specially forged iron lock shattered into two pieces and fell to the ground with a CLANG, leaving Jiang Yunnuan completely stunned.
’Is this the terrifying power of the Ultimate Venerable Stage?’
’That special lock, which I couldn’t even scratch after hacking at it dozens of tis with all my strength... he just snapped it with two fingers?’
In that mont, she was once again awed by the imnse power he displayed.
She silently vowed to herself never to oppose him again, never to anger him. Otherwise, her fate would probably be no better than that of the iron lock.
"What are you spacing out for? Let’s go!"
Seeing her in a daze, Yan Chen frowned and spoke.
Jiang Yunnuan quickly snapped out of it. She grabbed his hand and said fawningly, "We ca all this way. Wouldn’t leaving just like this be letting them off too easy?"
"What are you planning?"
From her expression, Yan Chen knew she was up to no good again.
"You’re so powerful, we can’t just let this heaven-defying strength go to waste. This Beast Fighting Arena has been in operation for so many years, and I heard they also run casinos, auction houses, trafficking rings, and so on... basically, all their businesses are vicious and illegal..."
