Chapter 153 - Bai Lufengs Fate (2/2)

Bai Lufeng could feel the bones in his arm shatter, and his muscles were beyond bruised. The extraction of his primal yang energy severely weakened his body, causing it to be far more frail than normal. Despite this, he clenched his teeth in anger and cursed loudly.

Step.

Step.

Step.

The soft patter of footsteps resounded as a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a young man dressed in complete black, his face feminine and good-looking, his eyes suffused with indifferent arrogance at all beneath the heavens, and a dominating aura that permeated the surroundings emanated from his body. Bai Lufeng's gaze was drawn to this young man, and his face flushed with anger, but also hope.

Lifting up his battered body, he lunged towards the bars, clenching one in each hand tightly, and half his face attempting to seep through the gap. If one saw his bloodshot eyes, they'd see that hope and desperation was prevalent within. ”Let me out...if you do, my Young Lord will reward you handsomely!” Bai Lufeng attempted to bargain for his freedom, but the young man only approached at a measured pace, obviously unconcerned.

Each sound of his steps sounded heavily within the room. It was as if it sounded off a strange cadence that led others hearts to its rhythm. When he arrived at the cage, all the prisoners looked at him with fearful gazes, ”Reward?” The young man inquired as if curious about Bai Lufeng's proposition.

”What reward could this...Young Lord give me?”

Bai Lufeng gulped slightly, realizing that Yan Zaizen may be rich, but he wasn't nearly as wealthy as any imperial-tier force within the city. He could barely match peak grand-tier forces in wealth. Not to mention, his cultivation was a little too low to be used as a threat against the White Crane Sect. They were a heavenly-tier force after all! ”He could give you...a True Essence Sublimation Pill!” Bai Lufeng said, his voice grasped at any hope.

He wasn't sure if Yan Zaizen would trade a True Essence Sublimation Pill for him, but he had to try.

”Hahaha,” the young man laughed coldly, his eyes suffused with disdain and intense contempt. He was a mid-True Essence expert, what did he need a True Essence Sublimation Pill for? Not to mention, it wasn't some heaven-defying pill. No, it was a pill that only increases one's chances of ascending to the True Essence Realm or mid-stage - not a guarantee.

This was why Old Tai wasn't interested in Yan Zaizen's True Essence Sublimation Pill, his chances were horrendous to the extreme. Even if he took the pill, his chances would still be abysmal.

”You should get comfortable. You'll be here 'till death.” The young man declared, turning around and taking his leave. He was only slightly amused by Bai Lufeng, but with this, it should thoroughly crush his spirit. However, how could Bai Lufeng just give up like that?

”I swear! If you don't let me out, you'll die! You'll all die!” The decibel of his voice went to its peak as the cage shook slightly as if responding to his threats with fear. However, all Bai Lufeng received was laughter from the shadows. Those in the cage shook their heads, resting once more, and awaiting their deaths. If one could see the look in their eyes, it was as if they were no longer alive.

Screaming until his voice was hoarse and his body dropped helplessly in exhaustion, Bai Lufeng weakly leaned against the bars with a diminished will. With Tao likely in trouble, Yan Zaizen unbeknownst of their plight, and with him stuck in this cage, it's unlikely that he'll live to see the sun once more.

This world was cruel.
