Heroes' Prison

Chapter 398 - 388: Appearance of Celestial Realm Experts

This was a Half-Beastman, whose aura had reached the level of Holy Domain Rank, and had just appeared silently and without warning behind him, it was unknown how he had come!

Seeing the face of this person, Huang Yi was once again startled, for he had seen this Half-Beastman as well—it was the Young Master of that Half-Beast tribe he had eradicated not long ago—Blood Night, Liu Ying!

Back then, when Huang Yi was in a Blood Battle with the Half-Beast Chieftain, Liu Ying had led a group of Half-Beasts along with the tribe’s wealth, and escaped to the Muguang Forest in the southern lands through the Altar Teleportation. Later, Huang Yi had relayed this information to Thunder God, who led a team to the Muguang Forest and exterminated the tribe, seizing a large fortune, which provided a critical fund for the development of the Deep Sea Battleship fleet. However, they had not been able to capture Blood Night, Liu Ying, who had escaped.

Huang Yi had not expected that he would encounter Blood Night, Liu Ying in this place, and it seemed that the other party had also joined the ranks of The Seven Archdemons, with their strength skyrocketing abruptly to the Holy Domain Rank, and even surpassing the strength of his Half-Beast Chieftain father.

At this moment, Blood Night, Liu Ying also noticed Huang Yi. He glanced down at Huang Yi condescendingly, his gaze akin to looking at an ant.

Huang Yi’s heart tightened slightly; he and Blood Night, Liu Ying were absolute enemies. Now that they had met on a narrow path, with Unbeaten also present, the situation was extremely unfavorable for him!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment!

In this place devoid of sky and earth, cut off from the world, the three of them faced each other in such a way.

The next moment, Blood Night, Liu Ying shifted his gaze away, walking right past Huang Yi, not sparing him another glance!

From beginning to end, it had never intended to deal with Huang Yi, treating him just like an ordinary Eyeless Demon, completely failing to see through his identity!

At this, Huang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, his identity was temporarily safe.

"Liu Ying, why have you also come?" Unbeaten asked, looking at Liu Ying, speaking indifferently.

Liu Ying’s eyelid flickered, responding coldly, "I noticed that your expression seemed out of sorts, as if you were melancholic about something. Since you’ve joined The Seven Archdemons, put aside other thoughts and focus on helping them. That is the main task. We are both under the command of the Queen of Agony now; we’re supposed to be on the same side. I’m not comfortable working with someone who harbors other intentions."

"The one with other intentions is you!" Unbeaten retorted, "Your homeland was destroyed by the God of Slaughter, yet you didn’t go to the Central Continent’s Half-Beast Holy Land, instead joining The Seven Archdemons. Could it be that you have some sort of scheme?"

With a cold expression, Liu Ying snapped, "Hmph! You Heaven-Sent Man, always so glib. I joined The Seven Archdemons because they could grant me enormous strength in an instant, something the Half-Beast Holy Land could not offer. As for Instakill, I will naturally execute him with my own hands, so you needn’t worry."

"Good, then I await the day you kill him. But if the God of Slaughter also joins The Seven Archdemons, considering his status as The Eighth Great Demon King, you will have to respectfully address him as master. It would be good enough if he doesn’t kill you; it’s not your place to seek revenge against him," Unbeaten said, with a sardonic smile, taking steps towards the Demon King’s Gate. His figure vanished in an instant.

"These Heaven-Sent Men are truly detestable!" Liu Ying stared in the direction where Unbeaten had disappeared, cursing through clenched teeth. He then also walked over to the portal and entered, leaving The Seven Archdemons’ space.

The air became quiet as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Huang Yi’s thoughts were still echoing with the conversation between Unbeaten and Liu Ying. Liu Ying was now a Holy Domain Warrior, but Unbeaten was not in the least bit afraid, even appearing to mock him! It seemed that after joining The Seven Archdemons, Unbeaten’s strength had leaped forward dramatically, reaching a terrifying level where he could effortlessly face even Holy Domain Warriors.

Huang Yi calmed his emotions and continued forward, exploring the lair of The Seven Archdemons.

After wandering in the void for a while, he finally passed through a field of broken stones, and the view opened up tremendously.

Before him, the sight resembled a starry universe, with seven planets aligned in order. The most central planet was vast and brilliant, shining like a sun, with the other six planets arranged around it, orbiting as if part of a solar system.

Huang Yi speculated that the central planet must be where the King of Hell, Yanmo, the foremost of The Seven Archdemons resided. The other six planets belonged to the other six Archdemons.

The residences of The Seven Archdemons were indeed extraordinary, each one occupying an entire planet!

At this point, Huang Yi could not proceed any further. He was at an unknown vast distance from those planets and would surely require some sort of teleportation technique to enter them, something he was unaware of.

Subsequently, Huang Yi wandered around for a while, encountering several Demonic Creatures, but none were very strong. This was only the peripheral region of The Seven Archdemons’ space; the core area was those seven planets. Without reaching them, he could not witness anything substantial.

Huang Yi returned the way he came and arrived back at the Demon King’s Gate, leaving the place.

At this moment, the Abyss outside was quiet; Blood Night, Liu Ying, and Unbeaten must have long left the area. Huang Yi waited outside at ease, as Black Demon had said, contacting the Fallen Messenger would take at least several days, and he would have to wait here all that time.

...

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

The ultimatum time given to Huang Yi by the Half-Beast Holy Land had completely elapsed! Next, it was time for the 203-level Half-Beast Heaven-Sent Man Man Tian to personally pursue and attempt to kill Huang Yi!

That morning, under the blessings of friends like Thunder God, Overlord, and others from Rose Prison, Huang Yi entered The Second World.

What would happen next was going to determine his future in The Second World.

Currently, countless televisions, forums, and radios around the world were discussing this matter—it was the first time a Celestial Realm expert officially appeared since the opening of The Second World. They were all discussing Huang Yi’s fate, this pursuit of great power disparity was about to reach its climax today!

Countless people flooded into Dragon City, and even though Huang Yi had already left the Hero Guild, this was still the most likely place to encounter the Celestial Realm experts. However, Dragon City had essentially become a deserted city by now, as all assets had been ordered to be relocated by Qin Shiyu. Apart from a few basic personnel remaining and a hundred Holy Domain Guardians, there were hardly any members of the Hero Guild left in the city.

Among those most concerned with this matter, besides the Hero Guild, there was another power, the Hall of Famous Generals. In three days, the Hall of Famous Generals was set to go public, becoming the first Guild in The Second World to be listed on the market. Huang Yi had already publicly declared the Hall of Famous Generals as an enemy, which was extremely detrimental to their listing. If Huang Yi managed to survive this pursuit, it would be a heavy blow to the Hall of Famous Generals’ IPO, and investor confidence in the capital markets would shift to the likewise-soon-to-be-listed Sun Guild!

Huang Yi’s heart was at peace, and he logged on as usual.

His main body appeared in front of the Demon King’s Gate in the Abyss, while his incarnation appeared in a city on the continent.

The moment he logged on, he received many messages. Upon opening them, they were blessings sent by friends and relatives, such as Yun Sihai, Dugu Lengcang, and even that female player from Thornbush City who had once saved his life—Biyue Qingkong.

In the most dangerous moments for Huang Yi, there were still some people behind him.

Right then, Huang Yi received an instant message from Qin Shiyu.

"Brother Yi, the entire organization is following your updates, we have people in all continents around the world. Should you fail, no matter which continent you reincarnate upon, someone will be there to receive you. In particular, No.2 has prepared an absolutely safe haven for you to lay low—if your plan doesn’t work, you can have Thunder God take you there with the Deep Sea Battleship for temporary refuge."

Huang Yi smiled faintly and immediately sent a message back, "I’ve already found an absolutely safe hiding place, you don’t have to worry about me."

The absolutely safe haven Huang Yi spoke of was naturally the space belonging to The Seven Archdemons. That place was off-limits not just to the Half-Beast Holy Land’s Heaven-Sent Man, but also to the Half-Beast Race’s chieftain who was nearing Divine Domain status. Should Huang Yi truly have no other option, he could always hide there indefinitely. However, that would be very passive; if the Heavenly Domain Expert insisted on guarding the entrance or destroyed the gate, Huang Yi would have no idea how long he’d be trapped inside.

"That’s good to hear, Brother Yi, be careful. I’ll be waiting for your return," Qin Shiyu replied with concern.

At that moment, Huang Yi received another message. When he saw the name, he was momentarily stunned—the name hadn’t appeared for a long time—Dao Feng.

Since Dao Feng retired, the outside world had not heard any news of him—where he was or what he was doing. Now, when Huang Yi was in the most critical situation, he finally sent his first message.

The message was very short, comprising only two words: "Be cautious."

Huang Yi smiled. The friendship between gentlemen is as water; Dao Feng spoke only two words, but the sentiment was fully conveyed.

Next, it was time for Huang Yi to get down to business. For the first time, he used the attached skill of the Continent Guardian—[Eye of Supervision].

This skill allowed him to search for someone’s location across the continent, using only their name, with a cooldown of 15 days.

Huang Yi surmised that the Half-Beast’s Heavenly Domain Expert, Bloodthirst, Man Tian, must have used a continental teleport secret technique to travel from the Central Continent to this Hero’s Continent. He immediately began to search for him using the Eye of Supervision and the name provided.

The skill was indeed very effective. As soon as Huang Yi used it, he immediately found the other’s location. Right now, Bloodthirst, Man Tian was in the eastern part of this continent, countless miles away from him. (To be continued.
