Chapter 2486: Chapter 2489: Saving Ling Yan: Entering the 5th Layer of Ghost Prison Again

After reinforcing the array formation of the courtyard, Ling Xiao notified Lin Ruoxian, hoping she could come by frequently.

With Lin Ruoxian’s cultivation level, she might not be a match for those top-level masters, but it was more than enough to protect the people in the courtyard.

After finishing everything,

Ling Xiao and Heiye Wuxing set off.

Ling Xiao’s purpose was to rescue Ling Yan, and with Heiye Wuxing’s involvement, it would surely yield twice the result with half the effort.

As for Heiye Wuxing, he wanted to go in and interrogate the Demon Dragon Sect martial artist imprisoned on the fifth level of the Ghost Prison.

To investigate the true cause of his son’s death from that person’s lips.

In the past, he didn’t want revenge, but now, he must find the real culprit who killed his son and then execute them.

The fifth level of the Ghost Prison was naturally not unfamiliar to Heiye Wuxing.

He had come here many times during his cultivation years.

Ling Xiao, however, had only been here once.

The martial artists guarding the fifth level of the Ghost Prison saw the two approaching.

They couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

"It seems, as the Dark Clan Elder said, these two are indeed going to the Demon Sea Domain."

One of them said.

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with us. We just need to let them pass as ordered by the Elder, and naturally, we won’t be responsible for what happens next."

Another person said.

"Indeed, but speaking of it, the Dark Clan Elder isn’t planning to deal with them, is he?

Not to mention Heiye Wuxing’s strength.

Just talking about Ling Xiao, he’s comprehended the Dark Shadow Martial Arts and obtained the Shadow Black Gourd, and even defeated the pinnacle cultivation level of First Stage Four-Layer Hell’s Dark Gold!

With such aptitude, is it worth provoking him?"

"Yeah, isn’t he just sixteen or seventeen now? Not only has he attained First Stage Four-Layer Hell cultivation level, but he can also defeat Dark Gold. We really can’t compare with him."

"Why don’t we inform them about what the Dark Clan Elder said, so we won’t disobey the Elder’s orders, and we don’t have to offend Heiye Wuxing and Ling Xiao?"

"Great idea!"

The guards secretly agreed, thinking they were minor figures who couldn’t afford to offend anyone, so they simply wouldn’t offend anyone.

After discussing, they conveyed the Dark Clan Elder’s instructions when Heiye Wuxing and Ling Xiao arrived.

"Mountain Master, I’m afraid that old thing really intends to harm us; the journey to the Demon Sea Domain might be fraught with dangers."

Ling Xiao said.

"Scared?"

Heiye Wuxing asked.

"Not at all. If he dares to come, we’ll make sure he doesn’t return!"

Ling Xiao sneered; when dealing with stronger enemies, he isn’t interested in talking fairness, he would directly utilize Shen Dian and Butterfly Girl’s powers without hesitation.

"Let’s go!"

Heiye Wuxing chuckled; if it were the past, he might have stopped Ling Xiao’s reckless idea.

But today, he wouldn’t do so.

If the Dark Clan Elder indeed plans to attack him, he certainly wouldn’t hold back.

...

The two boarded a canoe, traversing the cultivation route, finally reaching the entrance to the Demon Sea Domain.

Water Elder naturally appeared.

"Water Elder, I have obtained the Shadow Black Gourd and wish to rescue my brother. Could you please open the entrance?"

Ling Xiao cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

This surprised Heiye Wuxing; since when did Ling Xiao become friends with Water Elder, who guarded this place?

"Yes, it can be done."

Water Elder had resolved to help Ling Xiao turn Eight Immortals Mountain upside down.

His hatred towards Eight Immortals Mountain was profound.

The things Eight Immortals Mountain did to him were unforgivable.

"Wait a moment."

Heiye Wuxing coldly eyed Water Elder, "I recognize you, a martial artist from the Demon Dragon Sect!"

"Demon Dragon Sect!"

Ling Xiao was taken aback; he didn’t know Water Elder was from the Demon Dragon Sect.

"Indeed, I am from the Demon Dragon Sect. Once, for a brother, I wasn’t afraid to leave the Demon Dragon Sect and submit myself to this small Eight Immortals Mountain. Unfortunately, my dear friend was harmed by others, and even I was plotted against, ending up trapped here!"

Water Elder said bitterly.

"Did you kill my son?"

Heiye Wuxing asked coldly.

"Your son? Hahaha, you must be mistaken. I’ve been trapped here for hundreds of years; how could I kill your son? Judging by your age, you are merely a First Transformation Martial Artist, so your son must be even younger."

Water Elder laughed heartily.

"Looks like I’ve really made a mistake, but being trapped here, Water Elder must have seen the Demon Dragon Sect martial artist imprisoned here, right?"

Heiye Wuxing asked again.

"Indeed, I have; not only seen him, this person told me some things.

He originally came to Eight Immortals County City for a mission, but was used by someone to kill a naturally gifted lad, which should be your son."

Water Elder sighed.

"Where is he?"

"Dead! In fact, as soon as he entered the Demon Sea Domain, he was killed!"

Water Elder said.

"Silencing witnesses!"

Ling Xiao frowned.

Heiye Wuxing naturally thought of this; since that Demon Dragon Sect martial artist was used, the person who used him would certainly silence him.

"Water Elder, did that person not tell you who instructed him to kill my son?"

Heiye Wuxing asked urgently.

"It was Sha Hai from the Sha Clan of Eight Immortals Mountain, but the real mastermind, I don’t know. I suppose that Demon Dragon Sect martial artist didn’t know either."

Water Elder shook his head.

"Sadly, Sha Hai is dead, and no one else knows this secret now!"

Ling Xiao frowned; now thinking back, Sha Hai provoked him several times, wanting a life-and-death duel, yet no one in the Sha Clan stopped him.

Knowing that his ability was already very strong then, Sha Hai likely couldn’t win.

The mastermind behind might have wished for Sha Hai to die so that this past would be buried in historical dust.

How insidious.

But I won’t let you succeed.

Even if I have to resurrect Sha Hai, I will investigate this thoroughly, as this might be Heiye Wuxing’s last hope now.

"Mountain Master, leave the task of rescuing Ling Yan to me; you should return and ask the Yue Clan for their Moonlight Soul Control Needle.

The Moonlight Soul Control Needle can pull the soul of the deceased from the Underworld for questioning."

Ling Xiao looked at Heiye Wuxing.

"But you alone are too unsafe."

Heiye Wuxing shook his head, "Moreover, the Dark Clan Elder is constantly watching you."

"Mountain Master, actually I’ve been thinking this whole time, me alone would have a smaller target.

Besides, your opportunities are limited; if they focus on me, naturally they would overlook you. It’s the perfect time for you to investigate your son’s death cause."

Ling Xiao smiled, "And Mountain Master forgot? Someone has my back; it was that person who helped you against the Elder and Lin Yuetian’s siege last time."

Originally, Ling Xiao didn’t intend to reveal this, but now, to make Heiye Wuxing leave, he had to say it to reassure him.
