Chapter 877: Chapter 546: Rescue of the Tigress, Thunder Pool Legacy! (Double-Length)

Outside the skeleton, under a black tree, Song Changming stood quietly.

"It’s not so easy, after all."

The sudden sweep of perception indicated that some demon had sensed something amiss.

If he took a few more steps forward, he might be completely detected.

It seemed that the owner of that perception must be the Tiger King.

"This distance is the limit my body can approach, but..." Song Changming wasn’t without options.

With a single thought, a Divine Soul avatar flew out from the Nether Sea.

The divine eyes, bright like searchlights, scrutinized the huge Tiger Race Palace ahead.

He glanced back at his original body before floating forward, his small figure passing directly through the gaps in the skeleton.

The Evil Yin Death Qi within these bones couldn’t erode him in the slightest, given his Witch God Soul’s strength.

He easily passed through and quickly approached the palace.

This time, the Tiger King’s perception wasn’t released again, and Song Changming promptly entered through a half-open window.

This place, labeled as the Tiger Race Palace, was more like a large castle.

Not only did it have palace areas, but also rock gardens, various open-air locations, huge and spacious corridors, and a network of pathways and secret rooms.

"Hmm?" Song Changming suddenly heard some fragmented conversations around the corner and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Thunderous Night, the Thunder Pool is open, I guess Father intends to..."

"..."

After the Tiger King’s offspring left, Song Changming’s Divine Soul avatar emerged from a stone statue, thoughtfully watching them depart.

These offspring were not weak; they all possessed the qualities of Great Demons.

But even at such close range, they couldn’t detect Song Changming’s Divine Soul avatar listening in on their conversation.

"If true, this Tiger King is indeed ruthless, not sparing even his own children..." Song Changming thought to himself.

It’s no wonder He Ya rebelled, saying she must overthrow her father.

Even without previous assassination attempts, there was little family affection between them in daily life.

He Ya’s decision to parricide was not difficult at all.

"Now, let’s go see my little tiger," Song Changming said to himself, arms crossed.

He knew He Ya was detained in the palace dungeon, and finding her in this unfamiliar place wouldn’t be difficult.

He just needed to track the location of the God-Binding Seal.

His Divine Soul could freely traverse unsealed, non-energy-shrouded entities, so he directly pinpointed the location and sank into the floor tiles.

After descending several meters underground, Song Changming saw a deep, long path of stone bricks.

The pathway was damp, with a row of prison cells at the end.

The prison cells were mostly empty, with skeletal remains of long-deceased inmates. One couldn’t tell how many years they had been imprisoned here, and the outside world probably no longer cared.

The underground dungeon of the palace wasn’t open for just any demons; only those with special identities were confined here.

Contrarily, once inside this dungeon, surviving was harder than ascending to the heavens.

Entering this place was practically a death sentence.

The only difference was immediate execution or delayed death.

Song Changming initially thought he might encounter other living prisoners but saw none when he discovered the cell where He Ya was held.

He Ya remained kneeling on the ground, her limbs chained, pierced through flesh and bone, blood constantly soaking, wounds hard to heal.

Head down, breath unsteady.

Clearly, this little tigress had suffered a lot in this prison.

"Be smarter next time, don’t trust everything blindly."

Song Changming’s voice reached out through his Soul Body, and He Ya shivered, noticing the arrival of the Divine Soul avatar.

"Master... Master..." He Ya opened her mouth, struggling to speak.

Through previous Heart and Spirit communication, Song Changming understood why He Ya chose to return to Thunderstruck Mountain for revenge.

The root cause was deception.

The siblings who seemed close to her united to trick her back.

Saying they would join forces against the Tiger King, they planned everything, but when she returned to the Northern Territory of Lei Province, the Tiger King saw through it, and she couldn’t escape.

Only then did she awaken.

It was all orchestrated by the Tiger King behind the scenes, and her siblings had long found her intolerable.

Family and affection were just one-sided wishful thinking.

And she suffered immensely for her naiveté.

Song Changming didn’t waste further words and raised his hand, unleashing the God-devouring Saber, striking at the iron pillars of the prison.

The saber transformed into the form of an Evil Beast in the air and bit down.

Without a sound of metal clashing, several iron pillars of the prison in front were directly severed.

Song Changming then floated in, his Divine Soul avatar barely palm-sized, moved close to He Ya.

He glanced at the chains piercing through He Ya’s limbs and attempted another strike.

This time, the chains remained unmoved.

"Hmm." Song Changming looked at the chains intently.

The rigidity of these chains surpassed that of the prison.

"Master, this is Thunderstruck Iron unique to Thunderstruck Mountain. Without a key, it can’t be broken," He Ya said with effort.

"Master, please kill me and take my Demon Core..."
