Chapter 900: Chapter 8: Why is it Always You? [Vote for the monthly ticket!]

"The Evil Rhinoceros from the Eastern Sea has escaped! Hurry... check if Warrior Chu has arrived, then report to the Prison King!"

More than ten armored soldiers, holding long pole lassos that shimmered with golden light, had all attached to a huge, solitary horn and the four hooves of an enormous gray rhinoceros. This singular horn was pitch-black and pointed upwards, and as flames spewed from its nostrils, it resembled an ancient divine weapon. Even with ten soldiers pulling back together, they could not hold it.

Yet, everyone was calm and unhurried, as if they were accustomed to such scenes.

Just as the furious Evil Rhinoceros was about to crash into the prison walls, a gate suddenly opened right in front of it, and someone entered from outside!

At that moment, a team escorting a prisoner had opened the gate to enter, yet the Evil Rhinoceros was just about to charge out from there. Normally, there were few prisoners entering the Sky-north Prison in a month, let alone prison breaks, so this coincidence was a first.

The soldiers behind finally began to feel anxious.

Bang—

Thankfully, the entrance of the Sky-north Prison was guarded by three fortresses, each manned by a Seventh Realm cultivator, and the final fortress within the Sky-north Prison was alternately guarded by the Prison King and Vice Warden, ensuring absolute security.

And while escorting the prisoners, a cultivator from the Immortal Sect at the third fortress also accompanied them, managing to block the giant rhinoceros in a rush, though he could only manage to strike with one palm due to the suddenness of the situation.

After the collision, the momentum of the Evil Rhinoceros was halted, but its lone horn still thrust forward. The escorting team, caught off-guard by the impact, was thrown into disarray, limbs akimbo.

At this critical juncture, a sword aura like a shooting star came streaking through the sky, carrying a triple-layered Chaos Sword Qi, instantly piercing the air!

Swish—

Despite its thick skin and flesh, the giant rhinoceros could not withstand Chu Liang’s ultimate Sword Dao, and the strike pierced through him directly!

At the end of the corridor, that familiar figure slowly emerged.

"Oh—Warrior Chu! Warrior Chu!" the soldiers cheered one after the other.

Over the past few days, Chu Liang, being generous and amiable, and repeatedly resolving crises for everyone, had won the extreme support of the soldiers in Sky-north Prison.

Before long, the Prison King also arrived soon after.

Unlike the ordinary prison guards, the Prison King felt something was amiss with the frequent escapes of demon beasts recently. At first, he thought it might be a conspiracy of the Demonic Clan, but after observing for a few days, it seemed like the Demonic Clan had no reason to sacrifice their Giant Demons?

"We truly owe you for this time, but..." he asked curiously, looking at Chu Liang, "Why does it seem you’re always here?"

"Ah... isn’t that curious? Haha, this demon beast is extremely fierce, holding it down also took a lot of effort from everyone." Chu Liang chuckled awkwardly, quickly taking out a bamboo tube, "Here, I have Split Mountain Bear Gall Water from Red Cotton Peak, good for invigorating vitality and replenishing True Yuan. Let’s all have a drink."

The soldiers of Sky-north Prison immediately crowded around, eager for a taste. Split Mountain Bear Gall Water was a rare spiritual medicine for martial artists, able to rapidly restore vitality and boost strength. If Chu Liang hadn’t offered it, they would never have dreamed of buying it themselves.

While they were sharing the spiritual medicine, a professional team was handling the carcass of the Evil Rhinoceros, creating a scene of harmony.

But just then, a voice suddenly rang out at the door: "Chu Liang?"

Chu Liang turned towards the source of the voice and saw, amidst the overturned demon beasts on the ground, a figure that was quite human-like, and it was actually an old acquaintance.

"Brother Du?" he exclaimed in surprise. "What brings you here?"

Not long ago, at Red Cotton Peak, he helped them dispose of their stolen goods in exchange for a large fortune. How did this guy end up in Sky-north Prison so soon?

Elder Mayfly had also disappeared without a trace.

He was brought in escorted by several demon beasts with fierce appearances, clearly as a prisoner.

"Chu Liang!" Du Wuhen struggled to stand up, like a child who had been bullied finally seeing an elder, and immediately showed a face full of grievances, "It’s so good to see you here!"

Chu Liang quickly came forward to ask about the matter, seeing what he had done wrong, and then Du Wuhen began to explain.

It turned out that he and Elder Mayfly had been scammed when buying a house, and after failing to find help anywhere, decided to go directly to the front of the Imperial City to explain their situation. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he was directly arrested by men sent by the Prime Minister.

But because he possessed Cultivation and refused to reveal his origins, he was treated as a suspicious person. He thought he would hold on for a while, hoping that Elder Mayfly would definitely come to rescue him once he found out.

It was not known whether it was because the situation in Yu Capital City had been very tense recently with several outbreaks of demon beasts causing chaos in the streets, or if someone was orchestrating from behind. Either way, they rather bluntly imprisoned several demon beasts along with Du Wuhen in Sky-north Prison without much interrogation.

It had only been a short while, and Du Wuhen had already found himself transported to Sky-north Prison. At this point, it was too late to clarify his identity and defend himself. If it weren’t for meeting Chu Liang, he might have faced some tough times inside.

After hearing his story, Chu Liang also felt a wave of sympathy for him and immediately pleaded with the Prison King, "This Brother Du is a dear friend of mine and was once a proud member of the Immortal Sect. He committed no crimes, and his imprisonment here is just a misunderstanding. Why not release him?"

The Prison King examined Du Wuhen’s file and immediately said, "I have no problem with that, but I still need to inform the office that sent him here. Let’s arrange a cell for him first, and we can release him once we hear back from them."

"Thank you, Prison King!" Du Wuhen quickly said.

With the Prison King’s favor, those offices certainly wouldn’t dare to delay, and he would be free before long.

"Alright, Brother Du." Chu Liang smiled and said, "Let’s go back and wait for the news."

For some reason, as he heard those words, he saw Du Wuhen visibly jolt, as if startled by something.

...

However, what they didn’t know was that as evening fell, a figure appeared on the wilderness outside Sky-north Prison.

Elder Mayfly’s hair and beard fluttered in the north wind, the old man’s gaze bright and his expression grim.

He had only learned of Du Wuhen’s whereabouts after realizing that he had not returned for a long time and inquiring about his location, eventually discovering that he had been locked up in Sky-north Prison. Ever since reforming from his evil ways, this elder brother had been by his side for the longest, even a dog would have formed an attachment.

Elder Mayfly had come to rescue Du Wuhen.

With every step he took, a thin layer of red mist rose from beneath his feet, swirling around him, gradually gathering into a thick fog that engulfed the wilderness.

I had intended to interact with you as an ordinary good citizen, but all I got in return was deceit and avoidance. No more pretending, I am an Ancient Demon, I’m laying my cards on the table!

When Elder Mayfly reached the outskirts of Sky-north Prison, the sky above the entire valley was already obscured by a dense red fog, pushing away the white mist gathered by the formation.

Change the heavens and the earth!

The guard at the first city gate, looking up at the oppressive red clouds, immediately shouted, "There is demonic aura!"
