“All!”
Painful screams resounded throughout the canyon.
Looking over, everyone saw to their shock that Qin Xiuluo’s entire right hand had been bitten off by the huge dog that had appeared out of nowhere.
Then, it even swallowed the severed hand.
“Ha! What kind of dog is this?”
“This is too terrifying!”
“The Lord’s cultivation is at the Divine Pedestal Tier, yet he’s actually unable to withstand this dog’s bite? Isn’t that too terrifying?”
“Look, the Lord… His cultivation!”
Suddenly, someone in the crowd cried out, and his words were filled with panic and fear.
At this moment, they were shocked to discover that after Qin Xiuluo’s right hand was bitten off by the Hound of Sin, his cultivation had actually dropped by a major realm in an instant, from the original Divine Pedestal realm to the Divine Vein realm.
“Oh my god, this damn dog! One bite and it actually lowered the Lord’s cultivation? What kind of dog is this?”
Everyone was shocked. The scene before their eyes completely overturned their understanding.
In fact, it wasn’t just them. Even Qin Xiuluo’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“This… How is this possible? My cultivation actually… Dropped a major realm?”
Waves of emotions surged in Qin Xiuluo’s heart. He was terrified to the extreme.
He had never seen or heard of such a terrifying dog. One bite from it could actually cause his cultivation to drop. This was already beyond his understanding!
Qin Xiuluo didn’t dare to stay any longer. He wanted to escape as fast as possible.
However, contrary to expectations…
Chi!
Just as he turned around, a cold ancient sword suddenly pierced his chest. Under the ravaging of the terrifying sword energy, all the vitality in his body was extinguished.
It was Li Zangtian.
Previously, Qin Xiuluo had the formidable strength of the Divine Pedestal realm, so Li Zangtian was naturally not his match. However, after being bitten by the Hound of Sin, the former’s cultivation had dropped to the Divine Vein realm. Wasn’t it just easy to kill him then?
“Let’s go!”
The rest of the crazy villains of the Black Demon Palace were scared out of their wits when they saw their Lord killed.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
…
The group of villains immediately fled at their fastest speed.
Seeing this, Li Zangtian immediately gave chase.
After they left, Lin Wudao walked out of Devil Prison with steady steps.
“City Lord, you’re finally out! If you had been just a little late, I’m afraid we would have died without a burial place.”
Xiao Jinglun dragged his heavily injured body and said bitterly.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao glanced at him and Lu Chentian, then nodded.
Then, he looked at the Hound of Sin.
Boom!
After Li Zangtian killed Qin Xiuluo, the Hound of Sin immediately swallowed the corpses of Qin Xiuluo and the other slayers.
He wanted to collect the corpses, but it was already too late.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao’s expression turned gloomy. He felt that he had lost a few hundred million in an instant.
“Don’t eat corpses in the future! If you continue to devour other people’s corpses in front of me, I will stew you and eat you up,” He threatened fiercely.
Woof, woof!
Hearing Lin Wudao’s words, the Hound of Sin immediately bared its teeth as if it was extremely dissatisfied with his threat.
However, Lin Wudao didn’t let it be and even slapped it.
Unfortunately, it agilely dodged the slap.
“City Lord, is this the Hound of Sin, one of the most evil things in the world?”
At this moment, Yin Siming came to the dog and sized it up curiously. His eyes were filled with surprise. This was the first time he had seen a creature like the Hound of Sin, a creature from ancient legends.
“Yes. I met this dog on the ninth floor of Devil Prison. It feeds on the sins and evil of the world to strengthen itself. Right now, it’s still in its infancy, but it’s rebellious and easily causes trouble.”
Lin Wudao replied with a hint of helplessness in his words. He was worried that he would not be able to control this dog in the future.
“By the way, City Lord, did you find our ancestor in Devil Prison?” After a long silence, Xiao Jinglun asked nervously.
In response, Lin Wudao nodded.
“Yes. There is indeed an ancestor of the Penglai divine race on the ninth floor of Devil Prison. He was a Divine King from tens of thousands of years ago and his background is extremely extraordinary. I suspect that the entire Devil Prison was built just for him.”
Boom!
Saying this, Lin Wudao waved his hand and placed the black stone coffin containing Xiao Xuanji’s left hand on the ground.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinglun and the other two were pleasantly surprised.
However, when Xiao Jinglun pushed open the stone coffin, he was stunned on the spot.
“City Lord, this… Why is there only a left hand?”
“This is the ancestor trapped in the Land of Sins. In fact, he died a long, long time ago. After that, his corpse was even dismembered and suppressed in different places. On the ninth floor of Devil Prison, only Xiao Xuanji’s left hand is there,” Lin Wudao replied nonchalantly.
What? That senior was already dead?
Xiao Jinglun was in disbelief when he heard the news. He did not expect that he would only get such a result after coming to the Land of Sins at all costs.
“To be honest, it’s already a great fortune to be able to bring back Xiao Xuanji’s left hand. About thirty-six thousand years ago, a Demigod of the Penglai divine race crossed the Sea of Bitterness to the ninth floor of Devil Prison. He wanted to bring Xiao Xuanji’s corpse out, but in the end, he was cursed to death. According to my guess, this Divine King of your Penglai divine race should still have a chance to come back to life. Perhaps after gathering his corpse, he can be reborn and return. This is also the pursuit and mission of your Penglai divine race for generations,” Lin Wudao said calmly.
Hearing this, Xiao Jinglun sighed deeply.
Although this result was somewhat out of his expectations, being able to successfully bring back the Divine King’s left hand was also a great merit for the Penglai family.
At that time, with the Divine King’s left hand, they would definitely be able to return to the divine race and be acknowledged.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinglun’s eyes burst with unprecedented excitement and joy.
Immediately after, he brought Xiao Yiren and Xiao Ziyi with him and knelt before Lin Wudao.
“Thank you, City Lord! City Lord, we can’t repay the kindness of saving our ancestor. We will remember it forever.”
Thump, thump, thump!
Saying this, Xiao Jinglun and the other two bowed to the ground gratefully.
After a while, he took out an ancient Panlong Seal with a flip of his hand and handed it to Lin Wudao.
“High-grade Extreme Dao ancient spiritual weapon, Curled-up Dragon Seal?”
Lin Wudao’s eyes lit up. This was also a rare treasure.
“City Lord, according to our previous promise, you have helped us save our ancestor. This is a small token of the Penglai family’s appreciation. In the future, when we return to the divine race, you will still be rewarded generously,” Xiao Jinglun said sincerely.
Lin Wudao was extremely pleased to hear this. A faint smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.
“Very well. Since this is the goodwill of your Penglai family, then I will accept it.”
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, he put the Curled-up Dragon Seal in the system space.
As the Curled-up Dragon Seal entered his inventory, his foundation increased by another point.
“Right, this time, in my exploration of Devil Prison, besides successfully finding the corpse of your Penglai family’s ancestor, 1 also accidentally found a way to leave the Land of Sins.”
What was that? Could they leave the Land of Sins?
Yin Siming, Xiao Jinglun, and the others didn’t have much of a reaction when they heard this, but Lu Chentian was extremely excited.
He stared at Lin Wudao without blinking, and his eyes were filled with endless anticipation. For the living beings living in the Land of Sins, nothing was more exciting than leaving this place.
“On the tenth floor of Devil Prison is the Sea of Bitterness. The Sea of Bitterness is connected to the other side of the Mountain Mausoleum Area and can lead to the outside world of the Land of Sins. As long as one crosses the Sea of Bitterness, one can break away from the shackles of this area and regain one’s freedom. That being said, Clan Leader Xiao, in view of the fact that you are too weak, it is not suitable for you to roam in the Mountain Mausoleum Area. For safety reasons, I suggest that you stay in the Land of Sins.”
What? Stay here?
Xiao Jinglun and the other two’s hearts sank.
“City Lord, this….”
“Don’t worry, the current Devil Prison is the safest place in the Land of Sins and even the entire Mountain Mausoleum Area. There’s no need to worry about any danger. As long as you stay in Devil Prison, I will come and bring you out when the time is up. However, if you choose to leave the Land of Sins, then your life and death will have nothing to do with me. After all, I am very busy,” Lin Wudao said indifferently.
Now, the matter between them had been settled, and Lin Wudao did not need to continue protecting them. Letting them take refuge in Devil Prison was already a great kindness.
“Very well. We are willing to stay in Devil Prison…”
In the end, Xiao Jinglun accepted the suggestion helplessly.
They were indeed too weak. If they continued to be with Lin Wudao, not only would they not be of any help, but they would also become a burden.
At that time, without Lin Wudao’s protection, they would not be able to survive in the dangerous Mountain Mausoleum Area. The only thing they could do now was to stay in the Land of Sins and wait for the Mountain Mausoleum Area to reopen after six hundred days.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinglun was quite grateful to Lin Wudao.
“Alright, since you’ve decided to stay in Devil Prison, I’ll bring you in. As for Lu Chentian, you can choose to stay or leave.”
“Thank you, City Lord,” Lu Chentian bowed respectfully.
Lin Wudao merely nodded. After which, he waved his hand and brought them into Devil Prison.
Finally, they arrived on the ninth floor of Devil Prison..
