Chapter 528 - 527: Became a Prisoner

Chapter 528: Chapter 527: Became a Prisoner

Vast Celestial Might descended, striking terror into the hearts of the Stone Race.

"What’s happening?"

"Have the heavens grown angry? Are they trying to stop our clan’s prodigy from opening his Spiritual Apertures?" The members of the Stone Race were terrified.

"Heavens! My Stone Race has been trapped here for over seventy thousand years! Isn’t that enough? Must you extinguish this last sliver of hope for my people?" Old Shi Ren’s eyes opened and closed as he looked up at the sky. A light flickered within them, like Divine Radiance shooting toward the heavens, and a terrifying aura erupted from him.

At this moment, he was filled with grief and indignation.

Just then, a Qi Vortex materialized in the sky. A turbulent current appeared, sweeping a young man along with it.

WHOOSH!

The young man’s body tumbled with the current, plummeting toward the Holy Pool, accompanied by a terrifying Celestial Might.

That level of Celestial Might made even Old Shi Ren tremble, and he hastily pulled Little Shi Tou back to protect him.

’A mountaintop...’ In the Void, Ling Fei’s body fell with the turbulent current. His blood was burning, his hair was a mess, and he looked utterly wretched. He forced his dim eyes open and scanned the area below. Upon seeing the peak and the crowd of people, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

’People. Better than landing in the middle of nowhere and getting eaten by a Great Demon.’

Ling Fei plummeted downward, his landing spot directly on top of the Stone Race’s Holy Stone.

BANG!

As his body landed, the Holy Stone erupted with a dazzling light that pulsed outward. In response, Dragon Qi burst forth from within Ling Fei.

It was the True Dragon Armor’s automatic defense.

BANG!

The Dragon Qi and the Holy Stone’s Light Patterns clashed, creating a ripple in the Void, but the Dragon Qi was ultimately defeated. Ling Fei was knocked into the Holy Pool.

SPLASH!

Ling Fei landed in the Holy Pool, sending up huge splashes. The shockwave knocked over the Jade Bottle that was placed in a groove on the Holy Stone.

At that very moment, the drop of Holy Stone Milk fell, but it landed on the platform of the groove and then slid down toward the Holy Pool below.

"Oh no, the Holy Stone Milk fell!"

"Quick, don’t let the Holy Stone Milk be contaminated by impurities!" The members of the Stone Race cried out in alarm, all in a state of panic.

This was their clan’s Holy Medicine. If it was tainted, the consequences would be dire.

Besides, the Young Master needed this Holy Medicine to open his Spiritual Apertures!

"The Holy Stone Milk!" At this moment, the old Clan Leader, who was shielding Little Shi Tou as he retreated, had a flash in his eyes. He gestured with his hands, and a sheet of Light Patterns extended forward, annihilating all the splashing water. Then, the Light Patterns became like threads, wrapping around the drop of Holy Stone Milk just as it was about to fall into the pool.

Thus, the drop of Holy Stone Milk was saved from falling into the Holy Pool. If it had been contaminated by the impurities in the pool, it would have been a disaster.

After all, even though the Holy Pool Water was also a rare Spiritual Water, it was nothing compared to the Holy Stone Milk. The two were incompatible.

With the Holy Stone Milk caught, the old Clan Leader made a gesture with his large hand, carefully guiding it to his side.

Then, the old Clan Leader took out another Jade Bottle and cautiously placed the Holy Stone Milk inside.

"How is it? Was the Holy Stone Milk tainted?" A few elders hurried forward, their faces filled with concern as they asked.

It took nine hundred years to condense a single drop of Holy Stone Milk. If they missed this one, they would have to wait another nine hundred years.

But could Little Shi Tou wait that long?

Even if the Stone Race had long lifespans, if their Cultivation Realms weren’t high enough, they wouldn’t be able to live that long!

"Fortunately, although the Holy Stone Milk slipped, it only touched the Holy Stone and wasn’t tainted. We’re truly lucky!" The old Clan Leader said, letting out a long sigh of relief.

He felt incredibly fortunate at that moment.

The Seal on the Divine Demon Sea was already loosening. If his clan didn’t have a few peerless prodigies, how could they compete with the other races in the future?

After all, it would be troublesome if those suppressed Great Powers within the clan had to take action.

"What was that fluctuation just now?" As they breathed sighs of relief, the surrounding members of the Stone Race immediately crowded around and asked.

Speaking of the incident, even the six elders and the old Clan Leader felt a lingering fear.

The Celestial Might had been so immense that no one could even extend their Divine Sense.

Fortunately, the lightning in the sky had vanished, and the massive Qi Vortex that seemed to connect heaven and earth had also dissipated.

"Look, there’s a person in the Holy Pool!"

"That’s the person who fell from the sky just now! He almost made the Holy Stone Milk fall into the Holy Pool!" As the incident was brought up, an uproar immediately followed. On the mountaintop, among the nearly two thousand disciples of the Stone Race, all eyes turned and naturally fell upon Ling Fei in the Holy Pool.

At this moment, Ling Fei’s body was floating in the Holy Pool. His clothes were tattered, but Dragon Scales had appeared on his skin, emitting layers of golden light.

At a glance, Ling Fei’s body was also filled with a sacred aura.

A few elders’ eyes flashed as they too fixed their gazes on Ling Fei.

"This person is covered in Dragon Scales and shrouded in Dragon Qi. Could he be from the Dragon Race?" one of the elders said in a deep voice, his eyes glinting.

"It’s been a long time since any outsiders came to this Sealed Demon Land!" The other elders all had solemn expressions.

"He seems very young!"

"Regardless, he’s an outsider. Let’s throw him in the dungeon first!"

"That’s right! This person almost destroyed our clan’s Holy Stone Milk. He deserves to be punished severely!" Instantly, discussions broke out by the Holy Pool.

No one had a good impression of Ling Fei.

After all, this drop of Holy Stone Milk was their hope!

Such a Holy Medicine had nearly been destroyed by Ling Fei; it was natural for them to feel some anger.

It was only because the Holy Stone Milk hadn’t been tainted. Otherwise, some of them would have probably wanted to tear Ling Fei to pieces.

"Take him away for now. After this old man helps Little Shi Tou consume the Holy Stone Milk, I will question him about his origins. Do not take it upon yourselves to punish him!" the old Clan Leader instructed the people beside him, his eyes flashing. Now that the Divine Demon Seal had loosened, he also wanted to learn about the outside world.

"Yes!" Immediately, a few middle-aged men acted, pulling Ling Fei out of the Holy Pool and taking him away.

With the Holy Stone Milk secured, the Stone Race held a ceremony to thank the Holy Stone for its gift, after which they dispersed.

As for Ling Fei, he was taken to a stone prison on the mountainside.

THUD!

Inside a stone prison that had been unused for a long time, Ling Fei was thrown violently into a cell.

"Kid, count yourself lucky! Our clan’s Holy Stone Milk wasn’t tainted. Otherwise, I would’ve broken every bone in your body!" a nine-foot-tall brute shouted,

"The Holy Stone Milk! That’s the Holy Medicine of my Stone Race, and you almost destroyed it! I really don’t know if the heavens sent you as a walking disaster!" another brute said, glaring at Ling Fei with resentment. From his expression, it was clear he wanted to give the young man a good thrashing.

"Forget it. the Clan Leader said not to give him a hard time for now. Let’s go wait for news and see if Little Shi Tou can open his Spiritual Apertures with the Holy Stone Milk!" The brute who had spoken first waved his hand and said somewhat dejectedly. If not for the Clan Leader’s orders, he really would have taught Ling Fei a lesson.

"Right, let’s go wait for news about Little Shi Tou!" The other brute nodded, his eyes lighting up at the mention of Little Shi Tou.

Then, the two of them locked the cell door and left.

’These guys are way too rough!’ As his body slammed onto the ground, the intense pain jolted Ling Fei awake. He inspected his body internally and found that the bones that were already on the verge of fracturing had actually developed some cracks from the impact. He was left speechless.

However, from what the two brutes said before leaving, it seemed he was lucky and the clan wouldn’t kill him.

’As long as I’m alive, there’s hope!’ Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred, and his gaze began to survey his surroundings.

The cell was in a cavern, surrounded by sturdy pillars. The lock on it seemed to have special patterns, as if it were engraved with a Restriction.

’The Restriction on it is ancient. It seems escaping from here will be troublesome.’ With a thought, Ling Fei discovered that the Restriction was extraordinary.

But he wasn’t worried.

After all, Yiyi was still in his Dragon Bone Space.

Yiyi could ignore those Restrictions and travel through space. It wouldn’t be so easy for this prison to hold him.

The only trouble was that he knew nothing about this land or what level of experts existed here. The slightest carelessness could land him in a crisis, which forced Ling Fei to be extremely cautious.

’First, I’ll heal my injuries.’ Ling Fei shook his head, and his Heart Spirit immediately sank into the Dragon Bone Space, pulling out some Elixirs.

Among them were Elixirs for mending tendons, stopping bleeding, and regenerating flesh.

As for his clothes and Storage Ring, they had all been destroyed by the turbulent spatial currents.

Fortunately, his important treasures were stored in the Dragon Bone Space.

At the same time, through his Heart Spirit Sensing, he discovered that Yiyi, Shangguan Wan’Er, and Lian Shuang were all unharmed.

"Ling Fei, how are you right now?" The two women asked immediately after sensing Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit.

"I’m fine for now," Ling Fei replied.

"Then where are we now?" Lian Shuang asked, her brows furrowed with worry.

She knew a great deal; once a spatial transport channel collapsed, one could fall into many unknown regions.

She was also worried that if they had fallen into the Divine Demon Sea, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger’s den.

"I’m not too sure about that myself, but I vaguely heard that we are now in the hands of a major race called the Stone Race," Ling Fei said. He had faintly heard the name "Stone Race" back at the Holy Pool, and in the prison, he had also heard it mentioned in the mutterings of that brute.

"The Stone Race?" Hearing this, Lian Shuang’s brow tightened, and she asked quickly, "Are you sure you’ve come to the Stone Race?"

"Yes," Ling Fei said. "Where I fell, there was a giant stone that emitted a vast power, which blasted me into a pool."

"A giant stone... It seems it really is the Stone Race!" Lian Shuang murmured.

"You know of this race?" Ling Fei asked.

Inside the Dragon Bone Space, Shangguan Wan’Er also had a questioning look in her eyes.

"We’ve entered the Sealed Demon Land within the Divine Demon Sea," Lian Shuang said, her brow furrowed. "Ancient Divine Demon races are imprisoned here. The Kunpeng Race is one of them!" At the mention of the Kunpeng Race, Lian Shuang’s expression turned a little grim. She had been here before and knew people from the Kunpeng Race.
