In this cell, a total of thirty-seven prisoners lay.
Thirty-six of them were bound by special chains—chains capable of restricting martial force and barrier techniques.
Among them, only one was human. The remaining thirty-one were all demon beasts.
From the appearances of those demon beasts, one could tell they were of a special kind.
Though they were demon beasts, they didn't look fierce at all. Some of them even had appearances that looked quite noble.
But right now, all of those demon beast prisoners were dead.
Only the humans were still alive, though they were all extremely weak, hovering on the brink of death.
It was worth noting that among the living, four had already fallen unconscious, and only Wang Yuxuan remained awake.
The moment the cell door opened, Wang Yuxuan immediately shot an angry gaze toward them.
But when Wang Yuxuan saw Chu Feng, a flash of surprise appeared in her angry eyes, and she froze.
However, that surprise was quickly concealed. Her gaze turned angry once more, though she shifted it from Chu Feng to Lord Yunliang.
"Old beast, if you've got the guts, just kill me!"
Wang Yuxuan snarled viciously at Lord Yunliang.
She was doing it deliberately—deliberately concealing the fact that she knew Chu Feng.
It was also possible that she simply couldn't be certain whether the person who had appeared before her was truly the Chu Feng she knew.
Although Chu Feng's face hadn't changed, he had appeared here in the form of an Asura Evil Spirit.
Though Wang Yuxuan had averted her gaze, Chu Feng kept his eyes fixed on her.
He noticed that Wang Yuxuan didn't have any visible wounds on her body—even her clothes were intact—but she had become emaciated to the bone. Her once-pure face had lost all its former vitality, and her body was as weak as an empty shell.
Right now, Wang Yuxuan gave Chu Feng the impression that both her body's strength and her soul had been completely drained, and she could die at any moment.
This made Chu Feng's heart ache.
Chu Feng had once helped Wang Yuxuan cultivate, at the request of Dao Sea Fairy.
He and Wang Yuxuan had been alone together for a full three months.
He had even been disfigured as a result of helping her. It was only later, when Long Xiaoxiao made a wish at Wish God Granny's place, that Chu Feng's appearance was restored.
During those three months together, Chu Feng and Wang Yuxuan had become close friends.
Wang Yuxuan was not the arrogant type. She was generally kind to others, though she spoke very little. Combined with her otherworldly, fairy-like aura, she still tended to give people a sense of distance.
But in reality, she was a lively, cheerful girl—even a bit mischievous.
The thing was, she only showed that lively, cheerful side to those closest and most trusted to her. Besides her master, Dao Sea Fairy, Chu Feng was fortunate enough to be one of those people.
Later on, Chu Feng was able to call Wang Yuxuan by her childhood name, Lele, and she happily accepted it. That alone was proof of how close their relationship had become.
Because Chu Feng and Wang Yuxuan were good friends...
When he saw the suffering Wang Yuxuan was enduring, his heart naturally ached deeply.
It wasn't just heartache—it was intense fury. He was so angry he wanted to kill!!!
"Chu Feng, don't act rashly."
Suddenly, Eggy's warning voice rang in Chu Feng's ear.
Although Eggy had been in closed-door cultivation, she knew everything Chu Feng had experienced.
She knew Chu Feng recognized Wang Yuxuan, and she understood his personality.
But this was no ordinary place. Eggy didn't want Chu Feng to act rashly, or the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Chu Feng replied to Eggy.
Though he had seen Wang Yuxuan, Chu Feng pretended not to know her. He didn't even send her a secret voice transmission to inquire about her condition.
If his identity were exposed now, it would be good for neither him nor Wang Yuxuan. Chu Feng had no choice but to endure in silence.
() Lord Yunliang ignored Wang Yuxuan's curses and simply produced a jade vial.
The moment he saw the vial, Chu Feng's heart stirred.
Powerful formations were carved into it—and they were of a rather sinister nature.
Lord Yunliang bypassed Wang Yuxuan and approached a man who had passed out but was still alive.
He held the vial up to the man's nose.
Then the formation activated, and the man immediately reacted.
"Ughhh—"
Even though he was unconscious, the man let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
The sound was harrowing—wretched beyond description, making one's skin crawl.
And the reason the man screamed like that was because of that vial.
