Chapter 402: Chapter 85: Is this it?【Request for monthly tickets!】_1
With Lin Bei’s guidance, it was much more convenient for everyone to navigate the place. There were not many Ji Meng Dragon Cavalries to begin with, and most of them had gone out to deal with the troublesome Demonic Clan, so they didn’t encounter a single Ji Meng person here.
"Although there are many cells in this area, there are likely fewer than ten that are actually occupied. I have been delivering meals to each one during the day," Lin Bei explained, "If it weren’t for me, you would have had to search for quite a while."
"We owe you one," Chu Liang replied.
As they spoke, they had arrived at a cell.
This cell was small in size, but the rune array that supplemented it was more complex than the city walls, making it difficult for even the Seventh Realm to breach... unless someone like Empress Feng arrived.
Of course, if Empress Feng arrived, who would be left inside would be uncertain.
The entire cell had no doors or windows, only a small hole at the bottom for delivering meals. Through this hole, one could tell that the walls were thick. This hole was a narrow passageway, and food would slide through into the cell, thus making it impossible for one to see the inside from the outside or vice versa.
Seeing Chu Liang preparing to break through the wall, Lin Bei couldn’t help but say, "It’s quite difficult to do so..."
"..."
"Wow, you really did it?"
A moment later, he couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.
The top members of the Blaze Guild all nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes, that’s right! Surprising, isn’t it?"
We also felt the same earlier, so don’t feel embarrassed.
Within the thick walls, Golden Butterfly Baby was like a swimmer, swiftly chewing a hole the size of a basin, even quicker than before.
Chu Liang guessed two reasons for this: one was that Golden Butterfly Baby had just woken up awhile ago, and the other was that the rune array here was more complex, meaning there was more spiritual power. To Golden Butterfly Baby, more spiritual power meant tastier snacks.
As for how tough it was...
It was all crispy anyway.
After chewing another big hole, Lin Bei leaned in to take a look. Seeing a young man with chains wrapped around his limbs, he asked, "Is the Guild Leader of Blaze Guild inside?"
"No," the man inside replied.
"Sorry, wrong cell," Lin Bei turned around, ready to leave.
"Wait, wait, wait!" The man inside quickly cried out, "Don’t leave."
Why suddenly being polite?
Chu Liang glanced through the hole and, to his surprise, exclaimed, "Ji Lingfeng?"
"Ah!" The young man inside also exclaimed in surprise, "You’re that Shu Mountain disciple who rides the Meng beast?"
His once elegant attire was now tattered and his previously clean and handsome face was very distressed. However, his eyes were an unusual blue.
Amazedly, it was Ji Lingfeng, the Eighth Young Master of Ji Family, whom Chu Liang had met once before.
The day Chu Liang went to the Ji Family to deliver a letter, he first met Ninth Miss Ji Lingyu, and then came across Eighth Young Master Ji Lingfeng when hitching a ride on the Meng Beast. The whole incident was quite bizarre.
Later, Ji Lingyu joined his Ghost Face Hall along with Tang Shi, saying that since her eighth brother hadn’t returned home yet, she didn’t feel right going back either.
So, her brother had been here the whole time?
If Ji Lingyu insists on comparing who comes home later with him, it will likely be a grueling and extraordinary endurance battle...
Considering Ji Lingfu as an acquaintance, Chu Liang ordered Golden Butterfly Baby to continue chewing and he also went in to chew off Ji Lingfu’s chains. During this time, he asked how Ji Lingfu ended up here.
"Sigh," sighing, Ji Lingfu answered, "This is misfortune at the doorstep. On that day I left home to travel and intended to hide far away across the ocean. But I just so happened to witness a big fight in the Western Sea! Someone set up an ambush for the Whale Guild Master Xu Baishan! I was found when I intended to run away, and they wanted to kill me to silence me. Seeing that I was from the Ji Family, they decided to spare my life and took me captive."
So that’s what happened.
This guy really had some rotten luck, unexpectedly, he ran into the Swallowing Python incident where Xu Baishan was devoured. The culprit behind all of this had not been discovered until now, and they certainly wouldn’t tolerate any witnesses getting away.
"Did you manage to get a clear look at the identity of the assailant?" Chu Liang curiously asked.
"That person..." Ji Lingfeng hesitated for a moment before answering, "It should be my eldest brother."
"What?" Everyone was taken aback.
Lin Bei was surprised, "You’re already sworn brothers with the City Lord?"
"No..." Ji Lingfeng was confused as to why he would assume that, so he explained, "He’s from the Ji family, and he’s the eldest son of our generation. His name is Ji Lingyu. Even though we are of the same generation, he’s over a hundred years older than me, so I’ve only heard of him from my elders."
"Wow." Lin Bei was astonished.
This was normal in such large families where there could be a huge age gap within the same generation, but it wasn’t common for the gap to be this wide. Only in a Cultivation Family could this be possible.
Most likely, there was once an old man who was still vigorous despite being hundreds of years old.
"His father is my uncle from the main branch of the family, but his mother is a Dragonwoman of the Ji Meng tribe. They probably had a brief romance and his existence was merely an accident... so he was abandoned," Ji Lingfeng scratched his head and continued, "Relying on his monstrous talent, he grew up on his own, probably experiencing countless hardships. When his cultivation advanced significantly, he once returned to the Ji Family to recognize his lineage. His father, my uncle, went to see him and then...."
"At that time, a maid entered the room to serve tea and saw his father lying in a pool of blood, and him standing there, laughing."
That’s quite a story.
A father dead, a son laughing, it was breathtaking.
"No one expected this to happen. He fought his way out of the Ji Family and then disappeared without a trace. My family has issued a worldwide wanted notice for him, it’s been many years already."
Lin Bei blinked his eyes, saying, "He must have killed his mother too, because I heard from the Chief Steward that the City Lord became the new ruler of the Ji Meng Tribe by killing their previous Dragonwoman..."
