Heroes' Prison

Chapter 850 - 804: Identity Revealed

The Hanging Ghost’s face turned pale as he watched the scene unfold, his body trembling uncontrollably. When he saw the bloodthirsty gaze of the Demon Clan leader, his knees nearly buckled, and he almost lost the strength to stand.

All the other Half-Beastmen could clearly smell the scent of death. From the moment they had been surrounded by the Demon Clan, they knew they were doomed. But they never imagined such a cruel end—the fate of being eaten alive by the Demon Clan!

All the Half-Beastmen immediately turned their heads to look at the Hanging Ghost, placing their last shred of hope on him.

"Well... uh..." The Hanging Ghost spoke again, his throat dry as he forced the words out. "How about we help you capture the God of Slaughter and let you deal with him however you like?"

"Do you take us for fools?" The Demon Clan leader instantly extended his crimson, elongated tongue, wrapping it around the Hanging Ghost and pulling him into the air, rendering him immobile.

The Hanging Ghost was tightly bound, his face quickly turning red. He discreetly sent a message to his team, urging them to take action and rescue him immediately!

The Half-Beastmen understood they were facing certain death, so they decided to go all out. They swung their weapons and attacked the Demon Clan leader in an attempt to free the Hanging Ghost!

"Fools!" The Demon Clan leader waved his massive hand and issued a command for extermination to all the Demons!

In an instant, thousands of Demons launched their attack on just over a hundred Half-Beastmen. Countless demonic skills rained down, completely engulfing the Half-Beastmen.

Meanwhile, the Demon Clan leader violently retracted his tongue, strangling the Hanging Ghost to death on the spot!

Moments later, the Hanging Ghost entered the dark Death Space, and in his fury, he began cursing loudly: "Goddamn Miao Sha! You stole my boss and killed me, making me lose a level—fuck, fuck, fuck!"

The only response he received was a System Prompt:

"[System Prompt]: Your death has been classified as Reincarnation."

...

At this moment, Huang Yi had already summoned Little Dragon once more and activated the Lightning Conductor Skill, boosting his speed tenfold as he raced toward the exit of the Desolate Demon Lands like a flash of lightning.

He glanced back and saw that no Demons were tailing him. It looked like the worst of the danger was behind him.

Not long afterward, he managed to traverse the entirety of the Desolate Demon Lands and return to the exit. He dismissed Little Dragon and continued on foot, reverting his identity to Student No. 56 of Oskan Royal Academy.

People continued to stream in, eager to hunt Demons, their faces brimming with anticipation. Huang Yi moved against the tide of people and gradually left the Desolate Demon Lands, returning to the Desolate City.

At last, he was truly safe!

The journey to the Desolate Demon Lands had been incredibly rewarding. Not only had he obtained the Thunder Guard Bracers, but he had also acquired a significant number of Demon Cores and Experience Points. Most importantly, he had secured a priceless Dark Stone containing a drop of the Dark King’s blood.

His strength had greatly increased as a result.

Reincarnation was both a catastrophe and an opportunity. Without a doubt, Huang Yi had turned it into a chance for growth!

He obediently headed back to Oskan Royal Academy.

Meanwhile, on Hero’s Continent, his incarnation remained lying in the fields of roses in the City of Roses, a single rose between his lips, waiting for Qin Shiyu to log in.

It was already deep into the night on Hero’s Continent.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, its surface marked by visible ring-shaped mountains. Seven colorful stars surrounded it, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Huang Yi lay there, gazing at the view, awaiting Qin Shiyu’s arrival.

But leisure time was running out; calamity could strike at any moment, and when it did, there would be no telling how busy he would become.

His Reincarnation Time was down to just over a month—it would soon be over, leaving him with even more tasks to attend to.

He was like a machine constantly wound up to full capacity, tirelessly working without rest. He might never get another chance for Reincarnation again.

He needed to make the most of this remaining Reincarnation Time to leverage the massive level difference and gather as many Experience Points as possible. This way, when Reincarnation ended, his level would be higher, saving him considerable time grinding in the future.

He was immensely curious about how many levels the Experience Points gained during this Reincarnation would allow him to climb.

It was then that Huang Yi noticed a familiar figure appearing beside him—it was none other than Qin Shiyu!

She had finally logged in, and under the moonlight, she radiated like a Goddess of Moonlight.

Having waited impatiently, Huang Yi immediately stood up and lunged at Qin Shiyu like a starving wolf eyeing its prey, pinning her to the ground and kissing her fiercely.

"Why are you so eager? I just logged in!" Qin Shiyu exclaimed, clutching Huang Yi’s neck tightly. The two fell into each other’s arms, their passion burning endlessly.

After a frenzied kiss, Qin Shiyu lay on Huang Yi’s chest amidst the sea of flowers, gazing at the moon together.

"Xiao Yu, you’ve fallen behind on leveling during this time. Here, take these Demon Cores! Quickly level up!" Huang Yi said, flipping his hand and presenting Qin Shiyu with a generous handful of Demon Cores.

There were a total of thirty-five Demon Cores—enough to raise Qin Shiyu thirty-five levels! These cores represented everything Huang Yi had managed to gather, including the 191-level and 192-level cores he had obtained that day. The only one he kept for himself was a single 199-level Demon Core.

During Reincarnation, Huang Yi was unable to consume any Demon Cores, and they held little use for him. Once his Reincarnation ended, he wouldn’t need them either.

However, the cores weren’t entirely consecutive; many gaps existed at certain levels, as those cores were simply impossible to acquire. Qin Shiyu would have to level up on her own to fill those gaps.

"So many!" Qin Shiyu exclaimed in shock, reaching out to take the Demon Cores.

"Yes, I’m probably the person with the most Demon Cores in the world," Huang Yi said with a nod and smile.

...

Gradually, the night passed.

Huang Yi logged offline. It was already autumn, but the weather remained hot. He took a cold shower, refreshed himself, and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The cafeteria was as lively as ever. These elite prisoners were constantly discussing various topics. The vast majority were talking about the death of the Deputy Chairman of the World Federation.

Huang Yi grabbed a tray of food, found an empty spot, and began eating quietly.

"Brother Yi, have you heard? The Deputy Chairman of the World Federation, Rosiv Duncan, has been murdered!" a fellow prisoner sitting across from Huang Yi said, his joy barely contained.

"I’ve heard. What’s the latest update?" Huang Yi asked calmly, taking a sip of congee.

"The World Federation is still investigating the killer! Hopefully, they’ll never figure it out," the prisoner said hopefully, his eyes bright with excitement, as the morning sunlight streaming through the window seemed to lend him a vibrant energy.

Huang Yi smiled faintly. This reprieve was only temporary. With the World Federation’s resources, it wouldn’t take long to identify Qin Shiyu as the culprit.

But identifying the killer and capturing them were two entirely different matters—just like Huang Yi himself, who had been listed as an ace target on the Poker Card Warrant for an extended period before finally being caught. Another ace, Ni Dongde, had yet to be apprehended even to this day.

"The foundation of the World Federation is starting to shake. Over in the West African battlefield, the Rebel Army led by Ni Dongde is pushing the Federation’s military into retreat after retreat. Voices opposing the World Federation are increasing within various nations, creating an atmosphere of growing resistance and hope," another prisoner said as he joined the table. It was Tang Yunfei, the vice president of the Sun Guild, alongside Wang Jin. Together, they were now the Guild’s managers.

"Don’t celebrate too soon. Stay vigilant. At any moment, a disaster could break out in The Second World. With nearly half the global population spending time there, the World Federation won’t easily let it go," Huang Yi warned quietly.

"I know, but compared to before, our hopes are much brighter now," Tang Yunfei replied, taking a sip of congee before gazing at the golden sunrise outside. "Brother Yi, when do you think we’ll be released? It’s been six years since I came to prison, and for the first time, I feel so close to freedom."

Huang Yi also turned his eyes to the slowly rising sun outside and said, "When the high-ranking officials of the World Federation get sentenced to prison, that’s when we’ll be set free."

...

After breakfast, Huang Yi returned to his cell and caught up on some well-needed sleep.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that he logged back into The Second World. He began by heading to the forums to see if there were any new updates for the day.

As soon as he entered The Second World, he saw the 24-hour hot posts list. Spotting several of the top posts, he stiffened with unease.

These weren’t just regular posts—they were evidence of the World Federation’s retaliation:

"Deputy Chairman of the World Federation Rosiv Duncan assassinated, Federal Police confirm the identity of the killer! The culprit is Freedom Organization member Dong Yuqing, whose identity in The Second World is the Hero Guild’s vice president—Qin Shiyu."

"God of Slaughter’s true identity revealed! He is former World Federation ace wanted fugitive Huang Yi, lead warrior of the Freedom Organization, imprisoned in Rose Prison for assassinating former World Federation Chairman Beino Kang!"

"World Federation declares it will carry out the most rigorous crackdown in history against the Freedom Organization! Bleak futures ahead for the God of Slaughter and Qin Shiyu!"

...

As expected, the World Federation had exposed their true identities!

Long ago, the World Federation had already discovered Huang Yi’s identity but had chosen not to publicize it, keeping it as leverage instead.

Now, they had finally chosen to reveal this information, laying Huang Yi’s secrets bare before the entire world!

From now on, Huang Yi and the God of Slaughter would meld into a single persona in the minds of others.

No one could predict whether this revelation would bring fortune or disaster for Huang Yi—whether he would be shunned throughout the world or hailed as a hero.

Huang Yi found himself standing at the crossroads of his destiny once again, and how he navigated this path depended on the intricate battle between him and the World Federation. (To be continued.
