Chapter 213

Yuan Yao naturally could not ignore the young man's resentful, hateful gaze, yet she did not give him a glance.

If she weren't currently trapped, she would have already drawn her sword and stabbed him to death!

On the cart Yuan Yao was in, one person was missing, and instantly it was no longer crowded.

There were still two men on the cart; they silently shifted their bodies, moving a little farther from Yuan Yao.

The green‑clothed woman witnessed everything; her gaze fell upon Yuan Yao's fair, tender face, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she secretly brushed her shoulder against Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao tilted her head to meet her gaze.

The two gazes briefly met for two seconds, then separated; immediately Yuan Yao began to shift her body bit by bit, turning her back to the green‑clothed woman.

After a moment, the green‑clothed woman also began to shift her body.

The two stood back to back.

After roughly half an hour, before the vast grassland appeared a huge city, the characters on its signboard somewhat complex.

Yuan Yao could not read it.

She guessed it must be the monster race's script.

The soldiers guarding the city were all monster race people.

When the troupe reached the city gate, the droopy‑eyed dog monster produced his identification and displayed it to the city guards.

The city guards were tiger monsters; their gaze swept over the three carts carrying humans, and they let them pass.

After entering the city, Yuan Yao discovered countless monster race soldiers patrolling the streets throughout the city, appearing as if the Guard were strict.

Suddenly, mournful howls came from afar.

As they drew nearer, in the not‑far distance a colossal cage loomed into view, resembling a huge birdcage, extraordinarily sturdy, tightly confining hundreds of humans inside.

These humans looked miserable; some had already been tortured to skin and bone, their bodies covered in bloody wounds; others appeared extremely weak and wretched.

Inside the cage were also a dozen or so young, frail children, their eyes filled with terrified helplessness, their faces full of fear and despair.

Each human's hands and feet were tightly bound by heavy chains.

These chains were not ordinary objects; they possessed a unique function—effectively suppressing the flow of spiritual power within the bound person's body, and thus were called "Spirit‑Sealing Chains" by the world.

Faced with such a grim sight, Yuan Yao's heart gave a sudden jolt.

Suddenly, she sensed something and looked in a certain direction.

She saw a white corner of clothing protruding from the eaves not far away.

Someone?

The green‑clothed woman also noticed; she looked at Yuan Yao and, with her eyes, asked: Shall we act together?

To leave this place unharmed is not an easy task.

Moreover, no one knows what the hidden mission of the Flowing Light Secret Realm is.

However, if they continue to sit and wait for death, they likely will endanger their lives.

Yuan Yao fell silent for a moment, then nodded.

Her gaze once again turned to the human captives trapped inside the cage.

This is a true event that occurred over seven hundred years ago.

One does not know whether those people from over seven hundred years ago survived.

Yuan Yao drew a deep breath in her heart, calmed her emotions, and told herself: Treat everything here as an illusion.

The three carts stopped outside the cage.

At that moment, the droopy‑eyed dog monster personally dragged the baby‑faced boy down.

"What do you want to do?" the baby‑faced boy said, barely standing firm, his face turning pale with shock.

The droopy‑eyed dog monster chuckled lightly, "You are the son of the Jialing Immortal Venerable, so naturally your treatment is different."

The baby‑faced boy's face turned completely white; he regretted revealing his identity, but then thought: If he hadn't exposed himself, wouldn't the monster race have simply tossed him into this cage at will?

The droopy‑eyed dog monster ordered, "Throw them all in!"

The monster race soldiers guarding outside the cage produced a key and opened the cage door.

Just as the dog monsters were about to hoist these humans up, an abrupt change occurred—

A white‑clad figure suddenly appeared, sword in hand, and slashed at the gate‑guarding monster soldier!

Boom!

The monster soldier's pupils contracted slightly, blood spurted from his throat, and he collapsed dead instantly!

"A human!" the droopy‑eyed dog monster's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

The monster patrol soldiers inside the city heard the sound and instantly rushed toward this spot.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of monster soldiers surrounded the area.

The white‑clad man wore a grim expression, his lips slightly pale, appearing to have previously suffered grave injury; he spoke not a word, swiftly advancing toward the dog monsters.

The dog monsters' cultivation was low; soon three of them were slain by him.

The white‑clad man quickly arrived behind those bound by the Immortal‑Binding Ropes, swung his sword, and cut the ropes!

In an instant, the Immortal‑Binding Ropes of seven people were severed.

"Thank you!" one of them said, clasping his hands.

The white‑clad man said solemnly, "Hurry and rescue them!"

And the monster soldiers, seeing this, immediately surged forward to confront them.

After Yuan Yao and the green‑clothed woman exchanged a glance, they casually broke free, and the Immortal‑Binding Ropes on them fell to the ground at once.

"We shouldn't linger here; we must leave first." The green‑clothed woman said solemnly upon seeing so many monsters around, understanding that any commotion would soon alert the great demons.

Once the great demons appear, their chances of escaping this place will become exceedingly slim.

Within the time‑reversal segment of the Flowing Light Secret Realm, these figures who once existed, though their strength cannot match that of over seven hundred years ago, are still capable of killing us.

So, wanting to survive this 'training' is definitely not easy.

"Go first!" Yuan Yao said immediately.

The green-clothed woman blinked slightly, she said in surprise: "You want to stay?"

"Stay a moment." Yuan Yao nodded, "I want to do what I want to do."

The green-clothed woman's face showed disapproval, but the situation didn't allow her to continue hesitating.

She and the other party were merely passing acquaintances, with no friendship, so she couldn't possibly stay for her.

"Take care." After saying that, the green-clothed woman formed a long sword in her hand and flashed away.

At the same time, seeing the green-clothed woman leave, those young humans felt a stir and decided to flee in different directions.

Their cultivation levels were all high, the lowest being at the Initial Golden Core!

And the white-clothed man who came to rescue, seeing they had actually fled, his pupils contracted slightly, and pain and disappointment welled up in his eyes.

The young humans had almost all fled; only the baby-faced youth Jia Ming and Yuan Yao remained.

Jia Ming also wanted to flee, but the Binding Immortal Rope was still on him, and the Hanging-tip Eye Dog Tribe tightly gripped his neck, dragging him toward the monster horde while shouting, "Go chase them!"

The white-clothed man Liu Xueyi was attacked from front and back, and soon suffered severe injuries.

Just as a spear was about to pierce his chest, with a 'clang,' a white-clothed maiden flashed in, blocked the spear with a sword, and swiftly swung another strike!

"Listening to Flower-Shattering Rain!"

Boom!

The fierce sword qi instantly drove back the monster horde.

And at that very moment, Yuan Yao clearly sensed a terrifying murderous aura approaching from that direction.

Soon!
