Chapter 1628: Hunt! Black Prison Master
Chapter 1628: Chapter 1628: Hunt! Black Prison Master
In front of the shattered turret of the Black Prison.
Ye Feng and Xia Yao stood side by side, their expressions grave.
"There are over a hundred thousand prisoners in the Black Prison, the weakest being at the Thirty-four Layer Immortal Emperor level. Now, they have all escaped across the universe, which will definitely lead to riots, alas!"
Xia Yao sighed helplessly.
Riots imply that the universe is easily thrown off balance.
As the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, she must shoulder the responsibility of maintaining cosmic balance.
Therefore, she has to fight the enemies!
Ye Feng said helplessly, "There’s no choice. I originally knew someone would use the energy of the Eternal Ancient Divine Pool to open the Black Prison, but I didn’t expect that they would act so boldly during the New Year’s Eve event."
"You knew?" Xia Yao widened her eyes.
"I only found out recently and didn’t have time to tell anyone else. I came to the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom to investigate this case, but before I even started, the opposition had already completed their arrangements."
Ye Feng grew increasingly helpless.
He had no idea the Outer Domain Ape-man would move so quickly, without even giving him a chance to investigate.
"Alas!"
Xia Yao couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
She really hadn’t expected the undercover agent to be right beside her!
"I’m very curious, why hasn’t anyone discovered the mastermind hiding in your Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom? Logically speaking, your kingdom has nine powerhouses at the Hundred-layered Supreme Divine King level. Discovering an undercover agent shouldn’t be difficult, right?"
Ye Feng questioned Xia Yao.
Xia Yao’s mouth twitched, and she said, "You probably don’t know that those nine Supreme Divine Kings are all in retreat or hiding from the world, not involving themselves in affairs."
"Ah?" Ye Feng was stunned.
"Their levels are too high, approaching the Heavenly Dao Realm, so they seldom manage cosmic matters. To them, ordinary life is no different from ants. However, rest assured, if the universe truly faces a devastating blow, they won’t just sit idly by."
Xia Yao said.
Under normal circumstances, she, as the State Preceptor, could sweep away many crises in the universe, given the strength of the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Artifact, the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron.
"Well, then that’s good." Ye Feng nodded.
Given those nine Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors would take action, the Outer Domain Ape-man at the Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor level couldn’t possibly cause significant trouble.
"It seems I worried too much earlier."
"As they say, when the sky falls, tall people hold it up. I’m just a Fifty-eight-layered Immortal Emperor level mid-high rank cultivator, some matters aren’t for me to handle."
Ye Feng thought to himself.
The Twin Universe has existed for so many years; during this time, it’s impossible that it hasn’t faced attacks from Outer Realm forces, yet nothing major has happened until now, proving the universe is stable.
In times of crisis, someone will handle it.
Crack!
Inside the Black Prison, countless spatial cracks erupted, creating a scene of doomsday.
Around Black Prison Peak and its vicinity.
"Alas, the Black Prison has been broken into."
"Our secluded lives are over!"
Some Ancient Immortals above the Seventy Layer issued sighs that echoed through the cosmos, and soon, many more Ancient Immortals of the Eightieth-layered, Ninety Layer levels arrived at the entrance of the Black Prison.
Ye Feng exchanged glances with these ancient powerhouses.
They were all cloaked in black robes, their faces obscured completely so that Ye Feng and Xia Yao’s Divine Sense couldn’t detect their true faces or specific cultivation levels.
"The Black Prison is broken!"
"We have to find a new secluded place again."
These top-ranked Immortal Emperors reflected.
In the next moment, they tore the void and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"So, there were so many Ancient Immortals above the Seventy Layer alive, thought they were all dead. Who knew they were actually hiding in the Black Prison."
Xia Yao lamented.
Those Ancient Immortals above the Seventy Layer who left in that moment numbered over a hundred.
The array was quite luxurious.
"They aren’t criminals, just a group of mysterious high-level masters in seclusion. No matter how many there are, they won’t cause cosmic imbalance. However, the Black Prison Master and others are the real threats and tumors."
Ye Feng remarked.
"The Black Prison Master, Silent Death Emperor, and hundreds of others from the Black Prison Demon Sect have already been killed by me using the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron. No need to worry anymore."
Xia Yao said with confidence.
But, just then, a familiar and arrogant voice echoed from the distant cosmos.
"Jie Jie Jie!"
"Ye Feng, Xia Yao, you didn’t expect, did you? We’re not dead yet, hahaha!"
It was the Black Prison Master’s voice.
"Ye Feng, we’re making our escape now!"
Silent Death Emperor also spoke.
Soon, their presence was completely concealed, even Ye Feng and Xia Yao’s Divine Sense couldn’t lock onto them.
"They’re resurrected?"
Xia Yao expressed disbelief.
Ye Feng then said, "The Black Prison Master and the others have actually died once before, only to be resurrected by the mysterious figure hiding in your Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom. I think the reason the Black Prison Master and others dared to cause trouble during the New Year’s Eve event is because they reached an agreement with that mysterious figure."
"I see." Xia Yao furrowed her brows.
"However, these people won’t last long. You possess the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, incredibly powerful, just kill them again."
Ye Feng said.
"Exactly." Xia Yao nodded.
"But, can you find where they are hiding?" Ye Feng asked.
Xia Yao froze.
Though she possesses the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron and can defeat high-rank Immortal Emperors, it doesn’t mean she can locate them. That’s quite an awkward problem.
"I have a secret technique and can find them."
Ye Feng said.
The so-called secret technique is fake. To find the Black Prison Master and the Outer Domain Ape-man, we still have to rely on the Black Compass.
"Teach me."
Xia Yao showed interest.
"Can’t teach, but I can tell you where those people are, like the detestable Black Prison Master and the Silent Death Emperor."
Ye Feng smiled and pointed in a certain direction.
"Charge forward!"
The two ripped through the void and disappeared.
People from various major forces also arrived at the ruins of the Black Prison city tower. Seeing Ye Feng and Xia Yao leaving, they followed, wanting to know what was happening.
In the depths of the starry sky.
Here lay a desolate, fragmented land, with some strange mushroom-like plants growing on it, and at its center a bizarre valley with an inverted waterfall.
"Hahaha!"
A hearty laugh echoed.
The Silent Death Emperor, having regrown his arms, stood proudly beside the waterfall, hands on his hips, face full of smugness.
"Stop laughing. From now on, this small land shrouded by Chaos Mist will be our Black Prison Demon Sect’s newest base, providing us refuge."
The Black Prison Master laughed and said.
"Sect Master, hiding here, are we really not going to be discovered by Ye Feng, Xia Yao, and others?"
A Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor asked.
"This area has a special force field and a faint Chaos Mist that conceals us. Even a Ninety Layered Immortal Emperor would find it hard to detect us. Ye Feng and Xia Yao definitely can’t find us."
The Black Prison Master was very proud.
He had only recently discovered this treasure land.
Although the local nature’s spiritual energy isn’t very dense, comparable to an ordinary Holy Grade Spirit Vein, those of us above the Thirty-four Layer no longer need abundant spiritual energy but rather a peaceful environment.
As long as this place is suitable for cultivation, we can hide here, calmly comprehending the laws.
"Alright."
"Since this area is without danger, let’s quickly set camp and build our own palace."
"Okay!"
The cultivators of the Black Prison Demon Sect voiced agreement one after another.
"Fellow sect members, from now on, this is our Black Prison Demon Sect’s brand-new mountain gate. Remember, don’t build too large or too far; once outside this land’s boundary, we’ll be discovered by outsiders."
The Black Prison Master reminded.
"Yes."
Everyone nodded.
The next moment, they got busy.
In the depths of the starry sky.
Ye Feng and Xia Yao were still rushing on their way.
Their destination was clear, the quiet land where the Black Prison Master and others resided.
"I can’t sense the Black Prison Master’s aura. Are you sure this direction is correct?"
Xia Yao expressed confusion.
"Don’t worry, my method is very accurate. It will definitely lock in the coordinates of the Black Prison Master and others; just follow me. However, this route passes through many weak spaces and time-space mist, making it not easy to reach and slower than usual."
Ye Feng reminded.
"No problem, as long as I can kill the Black Prison Master and the Silent Death Emperor, I don’t mind spending an extra year."
Xia Yao clenched her fist, her face full of killing intent.
She had specifically organized a cross-year event to allow people from various major forces in the universe to cultivate quietly without conflicts, thus maintaining cosmic balance.
However...
The damn Black Prison Master dared to cause trouble at the cross-year event. For Xia Yao, he and the Silent Death Emperor were people who must be killed.
On that mysterious land.
The Black Prison Master clasped his hands in incantation, causing all the nearby soil to rise and swirl in the air, skillfully utilizing his brick-moving skills from the Black Prison to rapidly construct a palace.
"My palace is also built."
The Silent Death Emperor said.
A six-story palace already rose before him, exuding a majestic aura.
"Idiot!"
The Black Prison Master slapped the Silent Death Emperor out of anger, scolding him, "I just said not to build the castle too big. Didn’t you see my castle is only five stories? As a mere Deputy Sect Master, you dare to live better than me, the Sect Master? Impudence?"
Hearing this, the Silent Death Emperor felt aggrieved.
"Sect Master, I didn’t mean to!"
He quickly lamented.
With a "boom,"
The Silent Death Emperor’s castle was already blasted into ruins by the Black Prison Master.
Then, the Black Prison Master said, "Next, rebuild a castle below five stories. Remember, don’t build too close to mine; it’s best to build in a low-lying area, highlighting the grandeur of my castle."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The Silent Death Emperor, very frustrated, hurried to a low area to rebuild his castle.
Atop the castle.
The Black Prison Master stood there, hands on the railing, gazing at the brilliant starry sky.
"Hehe!"
"In hiding here for intensive cultivation, I will wait until I break through the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, then go out to kill Xia Yao and Ye Feng."
As soon as he spoke, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Kill me? You better take care of yourself first!"
Suddenly, a nightmare-like voice rang out, causing the Black Prison Master, Silent Death Emperor, and other cultivators of the Black Prison Demon Sect to all look up at the sky, their faces filled with disbelief.
Ye Feng had actually arrived to kill?
How is this possible!
