Chapter 62: Rewards of the Secret Prison

Late repentance is even more worthless than grass.

You were so arrogant before; why now beg like this?

If one dares to do such things, they must bear the corresponding consequences.

To dare to act but not to admit it only invites ridicule.

Seeing Li Yilan's cold tone and expression of utter unwillingness to talk, Xiao Huo's mind was in turmoil.

Suddenly.

He took off the ring on his hand, held it above his head, knelt on the ground and said, "Those matters have nothing to do with me."

It was Yao Lao who made me do it; everything was Yao Lao's doing. He told me to kill your parents, take your blood, revive the Blood Pupil. In fact, these things have nothing to do with me.

Upon hearing this.

Yao Lao inside the ring was startled, then said in a deep voice: "Xiao Huo, you damn fool, wasting my wholehearted devotion to the Xiao family, giving you the Blood Pupil, helping your grandfather break into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and giving your father the supreme prescription to heal his severed arm—yet you treat me like this? You betray me like this?"

Yao Lao never expected that the person who by chance fell into the valley and gained this opportunity—the chosen one—would be so shameless and lacking any sense of honor or responsibility.

I thought Xiao Huo would be a child of destiny; with my guidance we could exchange glances, grow close, become stronger together, reach the limits of martial arts—but fate is unpredictable. Seeing Xiao Huo like this now, I wish I could slap him to death.

Though he lived a legendary life, he met his Waterloo in this scoundrel.

Hmph!

Xiao Huo snorted coldly: "Did I say something wrong? If I hadn't met you, this demon, I wouldn't have walked the path of reviving the Blood Pupil, nor would I have offended Li Yilan."

Li Yilan, if you trace it to the root, all this is Yao Lao's doing and has nothing to do with me.

If you want to kill, kill him; kill her and spare me.

Xiao Huo's questioning gaze turned to Li Yilan.

Now my grandfather has abandoned me, my father was killed, and Yao Lao cannot break that Emperor Weapon, so I can only use Yao Lao as a shield to exchange for my own survival.

Xiao Huo's words completely enraged Yao Lao inside the ring.

The ring flashed a faint light, and an old man appeared like a phantom, slowly materializing, immortal qi swirling around him, his aura condensing into a human shape.

The old man's face was gaunt, his eyes deep and sharp, his soul pressure like an abyss, fully displaying his might.

And he was exactly Xiao Huo's mentor behind him, Yao Lao.

Seeing this person, Lin Yang couldn't help but lick his tongue.

That is a walking soul power.

He wanted it.

And the woman inside Li Yilan's Azure Ring also narrowed her eyes; she and Yao Lao are both soul entities. If she could devour Yao Lao's soul power, her strength would surely skyrocket.

Thus, her help to Li Yilan is far from mere verbal guidance; she can act personally to resolve some troubles for Li Yilan.

Of course, these reasons are secondary; the most important is that she discovered she feels like a pervert, eager to become stronger, and the purpose of becoming stronger is actually to show off in front of Lin Yang.

It's like liking someone—you always want to display your beautiful side before them to attract their attention.

This perverse mindset is not love, after all; she has lived thousands of years and could, in name, be Lin Yang's countless-times great-grandmother, so it's not for love, but it's complicated—she just wants to prove herself to Lin Yang.

However, she sighed and returned to reality: Yao Lao's cultivation exceeds hers, so the thought of devouring his soul power is just a fleeting fancy.

Without a miracle, she cannot devour him.

After Yao Lao appeared, he immediately locked onto Xiao Huo.

"What I hate most is being betrayed, and your Xiao family has repeatedly betrayed me. Today, even if I am surely to die, I will personally kill you, this beast."

Yao Lao's fury blazed; Xiao Huo's betrayal undoubtedly landed on his death list.

If he doesn't kill this person, he wouldn't be Yao Lao.

Seeing Yao Lao angry, Xiao Huo hurriedly said: "Yao Lao, don't kill me—I lied to you; I said that on purpose to deceive Li Yilan."

"Even at death's door, you still spout slick talk—today I will kill you..."

Before Yao Lao could finish, Li Yilan interrupted him directly: "Xiao Huo's life must be taken by me."

Immediately!

The sword in her hand flew out.

No… don't, don't kill me.

Seeing the incoming sword, Xiao Huo's gall bladder nearly burst from fear.

Yao Lao, save me—I just wronged you, I know I was wrong.

Please save me, I don't want to die yet.

Yao Lao chose to ignore him, and as the sword drew nearer, Xiao Huo's eyes nearly popped out, knowing he was surely doomed.

He roared angrily.

Li Yilan, you little slut, what gives you the right to kill me?

You're nothing but a bitch I kept in a doghouse; I've already knelt, apologized, and begged for mercy—what more do you want from me?

Fine, you've gone too far; I'm not a pushover either.

Immediately.

He suddenly exploded in rage, a broken sword appeared in his hand, but only for an instant.

Pfft!

Originally, Li Yilan's sword was aimed at Xiao Huo's brow.

But Xiao Huo suddenly stood up.

Bang!

The long sword pierced straight through his heart.

A sword through the heart.

What a beautiful phrase, yet it directly killed Xiao Potian.

Heart-protecting blood surged wildly.

The young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Huo, who had long been known as the Qingzhou Zhi Long, bid farewell to this world.

Li Yilan took a deep breath, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.

For a long time, revenge had been like a heavy shackle, keeping her spirit constantly in a state of tension.

When revenge succeeded, that shackle was removed, and she felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted.

She looked up at the sky, as if reporting to her parents who were watching her from the heavens.

The daughter is not bad; the daughter has avenged her parents.

Lin Yang, standing nearby, was also quite pleased to see this scene.

Being able to help his disciple successfully exact revenge, this master of his also felt very gratified.

And just at this moment.

The system's notification tone began to echo in Lin Yang's ears.

"Ding-dong, congratulations, Host, for helping Li Yilan achieve successful revenge and simultaneously killing Xiao Huo."

"Congratulations, Host, you have received a reward: a Dark Prison."

"Introduction of the Dark Prison: The Dark Prison is an independent space prison forged by the Heavenly Dao; this space is personally controlled by the Host and absolutely obeys the Host's commands. Special note: there are currently ten Glutton cubs inside the Dark Prison, their state being that they are crying out for food; please, Host, quickly raise the ten Glutton cubs, for once the Glutton cubs mature, they can devour heaven and earth, be omnipotent, and will become the Host's ultimate weapon for slaughter."

"Oh?"

"Ten Glutton cubs? There's actually such an unexpected reward?"

Upon hearing the system's voice, Lin Yang's eyes couldn't help but brighten.

At the same time, images of Gluttons appeared in his mind, their form like a human-faced sheep, with eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a big head and big mouth.

They are agile in action, high in lethality, possessing the speed of tigers and leopards, they like to eat humans, and have enormous appetites.

He also hadn't expected that helping his disciple achieve revenge would also bring such an unexpected gain.

As his mind stirred, indeed he saw in the Dark Prison space ten Glutton cubs crying out for food.

"Is this a Glutton?" Lin Yang couldn't help but start researching.
