Heroes' Prison

Chapter 381 - 373 Leizes

Just as he had turned his back, the window he had gazed at countless times opened up, revealing the figure of a young girl.

At this moment, the distance between him and her was unprecedentedly close, seemingly only a step away, but Huang Yi had already turned away and did not witness this scene.

A step away, yet as far as the ends of the earth.

Leaving Thornbush City, Huang Yi rode his Two-Headed Lin horse tirelessly towards Bai Long Lake.

He currently had a dangerous method to deal with Celestial Realm Experts, but with his own strength, he couldn’t pull it off and needed the help of the White Dragon King.

As the sun rose higher, Huang Yi’s Two-Headed Lin moved swiftly, darting through the forest like a swiftly passing shadow, with dappled sunlight casting shifting patches of light.

By now, the Two-Headed Lin had brought Huang Yi to the top of a hill, from where he could look down at a vast lake that lay like a mirror, quietly set within the secluded forest below – it was Bai Long Lake.

Huang Yi immediately urged the Two-Headed Lin down the hill and made his way directly to the other side of the lake where the reeds were dense, finding that ferry.

There, at the ferry, was a small boat with an old man wearing a bamboo hat fishing, exuding a serene and peaceful aura, definitely the incarnation of the White Dragon King.

"Instakill, you’re here," greeted the incarnation of the White Dragon King with a slight nod, "It’s incredible that you managed to escape from the pursuit of those hundred Holy Domain Warriors. If it were me, I would already be nothing but shattered bones by now. However, now that the Half-Beast Holy Land has sent a formidable Celestial Realm Expert to hunt you down, how do you plan to deal with it?" At this point, the White Dragon King’s tone became slightly tense. Huang Yi was their hope for the White Dragon Clan’s revival, and he did not wish to see Huang Yi fall.

"That’s exactly what I came to discuss with you," nodded Huang Yi, "I have only one method to deal with that Celestial Realm Expert, but I need your help to get me into the Abyss in the middle of the road."

"The Abyss?" The White Dragon King was taken aback, "That’s the most dangerous place on this continent. Inside the Abyss, there are Top Holy Domain Experts, and even outside it is filled with Holy Domain Rank Magical Beasts. With my strength, I can only reach the entrance of the Abyss; once inside, I too would die."

"I just want you to take me to the entrance of the Abyss. I have my own way to cope once inside, and you don’t need to go in," said Huang Yi, shaking his head at the incarnation of the White Dragon King.

"In that case, I can agree to help you," the White Dragon King frowned, puzzled, "But why are you going to the Abyss? Although there are Top Holy Domain Experts there, it’s of no use hiding there. Celestial Realm Experts will still come to kill you. Celestial Realm may only be a few levels higher than Top Holy Domain Experts, but the difference between them is like heaven and earth. The Abyss is very dangerous for us, but for Celestial Realm Experts, it’s like their backyard; they can come and go as they please."

"No!" Huang Yi shook his head with a mysterious smile, "It’s not just Holy Domain Warriors there; one can also find Celestial Realm Experts."

"What?" The White Dragon King was suddenly alarmed, "Our continent has no Celestial Realm Experts anywhere! Ever since the last Celestial Realm Expert on our continent died ten thousand years ago, there have been no Celestial Realm Experts since. Where did you get such information?"

"The Celestial Realm Expert I’m speaking of isn’t one from our continent," Huang Yi shook his head, "He’s one of the subordinates under The Seven Archdemons."

"The Seven Archdemons?" The White Dragon King’s frowned deepened, and he expressed his doubt, "All of The Seven Archdemons are incredibly powerful individuals. How can you possibly come into contact with a Celestial Realm Expert who serves under them?"

"Do you remember the Sand Thief King?" Huang Yi asked with a smile, then continued, "He’s trapped in the treasury of the Golden Holy Dragon. There’s a Barrier of level 200 in that treasury, and anyone below the level of a Celestial Realm Expert who enters can only be permanently trapped. I went to visit him a while ago, and he gave me a token, asking me to go to the Abyss in the center of the continent, find a person named Black Demon, have him take me to find the Fallen Messenger, and ask the Fallen Messenger to come and save him. From this, we can infer that the Fallen Messenger must be a Celestial Realm Expert exceeding level 200, capable of ignoring the Barrier of the Golden Holy Dragon’s treasury, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to save the Sand Thief King."

"Fallen Messenger." The White Dragon King mulled over these four words, nodding, "From the name, it should be the messenger of the King of the Fallen, someone with a chance to come in contact with the King of the Fallen himself, and indeed, one must have reached the Heavenly Domain Level to be qualified to meet the King of the Fallen."

"I have made the same guess; the Sand Thief King is a servant of the King of the Fallen, so it makes sense for him to seek help from the Fallen Messenger. The Half-Beast Holy Land intends to send a level 203 Celestial Realm Expert to kill me, one of the weakest among Celestial Realm Experts. I don’t know exactly how strong that Fallen Messenger is, but at the least, he should be able to contend with that Celestial Realm Half-Beastman."

"Indeed, as long as you can find a Celestial Realm Expert, you’ll at least have a chance to survive in the upcoming pursuit," the White Dragon King nodded slightly, "The Abyss is too far from here, even at my speed, it will take six or seven days of full-speed travel to reach. You have only nine days left before your ultimatum expires; there’s no time to lose, let’s get you there now!"

"Thank you!" Huang Yi expressed his gratitude. In crucial moments, one’s own kin are the most reliable, and the White Dragon King was one of the few clan members he had.

In this pursuit order incident, the Half-Beastmen faction profoundly demonstrated what kinship means. To kill one Half-Beastman meant that an even stronger group of Half-Beastmen would emerge. By comparison, Huang Yi was somewhat lonely, forced to struggle on his own.

In fact, his Beast King Race was not without members; on the contrary, his kin were very powerful, which were his father and mother. However, because they were too mighty, being gods, they were restrained by the rules of the world and could not intervene to help him.

In his other evolution forms, he had not met any creatures of the same kind in his Agile Cat Form; in his Half-Beast Form, his kin were his enemies; the Treasure-Sniffing Cat was an almost extinct animal with no kin of the same species; the Eyeless Demon was a creature from the Demon Realm, and since he couldn’t go to the Demon Realm, it was as if he had no kin. After considering all of this, he realized he could only seek help from members of his White Dragon Race.

"Whoosh!" At that moment, the true form of the White Dragon King burst forth from Bai Long Lake, emerging like a colossal monster that had been hidden underwater, its huge wings shrouding the sky. Its massive head shaked, shaking off droplets of water, which fell like rain. It was a Mid-level Sanctuary Expert, a rather dominant force on this continent.

"Instakill, come aboard!" The White Dragon King tucked away its wings and landed in front of Huang Yi, its mountainous body sprawling before him.

Dragons are exceedingly noble creatures, but at that moment, it lowered its noble head to let one of its own kin ride on its back.

Huang Yi immediately climbed on, and the White Dragon King once again unfurled its vast wings, speeding toward the central Abyss of the continent.

The speed of the White Dragon King was like rapid lightning, a giant shadow sweeping swiftly below, spanning countless distances in an instant.

"White Dragon King, do you know someone named Leizes?" Huang Yi suddenly asked. His reincarnation was about to join Leizes’s treasure hunt, exploring treasures with the adventure group under the Overlord’s command.

"Leizes? What do you want with him?" The White Dragon King asked while flying, continuing, "Leizes is precisely the last Celestial Realm Expert on the continent that I just mentioned. Ten thousand years ago, he was the Guardian of our land but later perished. Since then, no Celestial Realm Experts have emerged on our continent."

"I see!" Huang Yi nodded, his anticipation growing. The Overlord had previously described it as a vast treasure, and now with White Dragon King’s words, the expectation for the treasure of a Celestial Realm Expert was undoubtedly immense, guaranteeing that Legendary Equipment would be found.

"So, what do you know about Leizes?" Huang Yi continued to inquire.

"I don’t know much about him, just that he was adept in Thunder Attributes," replied the White Dragon King, shaking its head.

...

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

During these five days, both Huang Yi’s main body and his reincarnation were traveling swiftly, with the main body heading towards the Abyss at the center of the continent and the reincarnation advancing towards the location of Leizes’s treasure.

Previously, the Overlord led an Elite Adventure Group of five hundred, and with Huang Yi’s Treasure Map, they had located the treasure site. However, a Holy Domain Guardian blocked the entrance, and with their strength, they were no match, necessitating Huang Yi’s assistance.

During these five days, Huang Yi’s forum post spread rapidly, and the Hall of Famous Generals was cast as the main suspect behind Ice Wind Water Soul, leading everyone to foresee Huang Yi’s vengeful wrath.

This news dealt a heavy blow to the Hall of Famous Generals, which was about to go public, vastly shaking the confidence of the capital market in them!

As a result, the Hall of Famous Generals had no choice but to issue a statement of clarification, and even the president, Lv Bu, personally came forward to explain to the media that the Hall of Famous Generals was uninvolved in the matter. However, the key figure Ice Wind Water Soul maintained silence.

The whole situation became puzzling, and the truth uncertain.

Coincidentally, the listing date for the Hall of Famous Generals was scheduled for three days after the end of Huang Yi’s ultimatum. Consequently, Huang Yi’s fate became entwined with the fate of the Hall of Famous Generals.

If the ultimatum expired and a Celestial Realm Expert reduced Huang Yi to level 1, then the Hall of Famous Generals would be spared much worry, and Huang Yi would have no means to enact his revenge, smoothing their path to a successful public offering and regaining favor in the capital market.

However, if Huang Yi succeeded in escaping this calamity, the Hall of Famous Generals would undoubtedly face his furious retribution, casting a vast shadow over their public offering.
