Chapter 1026: Imprisoned Creatures
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Even a man of big guts as Chen Zhizhong couldn’t help but panic and become shocked. The sight in front of him was far beyond his imagination. The moment he could stabilize his footing, he frantically dashed backward instantly for tens of meters. Only after he reached another high boulder several meters back did he finally stop, gasping and panting.
Headless humans; armless humans; legless humans…
Some of them had even ten centimeters wide holes in their chests…
If these humans were just corpses, Chen Zhizhong wouldn’t be that frightened, but he couldn’t help but panic seeing that these people were absolutely not dead… All of them were still alive!
That’s right, they were all alive.
It was very hard for him to imagine what kind of lifeform could still survive without a head?! It was beyond his cognition that these monster-like humans looked extremely wretched and miserable. Yet, how come they still had still signs of life?!
“Hehe… this is so fun and interesting. To think that some living creatures appeared here. How many years has it been? A thousand? Or is it ten thousand years? I finally see some foreign lifeforms… It’s a human! Hehehe…” Among the hundreds of incomplete humans was a man who lost his arms and had a bloody wound on his chest. He mechanically raised his head as his eyes looked at the direction of Chen Zhizhong’s hiding place.
“It’s very interesting to have a living human coming here. Is he also a dissident who has been exiled to this godforsaken place? But why didn’t he get a corporeal punishment? Did he bribe the criminal officer? Is it because of his background?”
“Whatever his background or origins, for him to come here intact means that he’s not a friend but an enemy! Treat him as an enemy and kill him!”
“Hehe… let’s play with him and try his strength first, guys. It won’t be too late to kill him after we ruin him, no?”
“Who’s going first?”
“My turn!”
“Me!”
“…”
Dumbfounded and tongue-tied, Chen Zhizhong looked at these people… No… they should be monsters! If he was given another chance, he would never want to come here and be stared at by this group of monsters.
With his hiding spot already discovered, Chen Zhizhong no longer hid. He moved to the side of the boulder and shouted, “Who are you, people?”
A legless man around 40 looking like a bearded middle-aged man looked particularly aggressive and ferocious. Floating like a ghost, he stopped ten meters away from Chen Zhizhong and laughed wildly. “Hahaha, you really don’t know who we are? When the heck did the Sacred Pristine Palace become so interesting to imprison such a dumb brat like you here?”
“What Sacred Pristine Palace?” Chen Zhizhong frowned and said, “I don’t get what you mean. Nobody took me here. I came here with my Master.”
“Your Master?” The legless man blinked and suddenly burst into laughter. “Hahaha, he’s not some fucking dissident who got banished here, but just followed his Master into this prison? That’s so damn absurd and ridiculous! Is there anyone who would come into this prison willingly? Am I getting it wrong, or are you fucking shitting me?”
Pacing backward several steps, Chen Zhizhong vigilantly asked, “Who are you really?”
The legless man’s face changed and his aura fiercely burst out instantly just like a gale that blasted forward, instantly pressuring Chen Zhizhong. However, at the same time his blasting aura rolled four-plus meters forward, it was blocked by a transparent shield as two black chains appeared out of thin air, binding his neck and waist.
“Goddammit!”
The legless man looked furious, raving and roaring a few times before taking back his bursting aura. However, with his eyes staring fixedly at Chen Zhizhong, he said in a deep voice, “We’re all the most formidable warriors of Diablo Praecantator Clan. Those abominable robbers from Sacred Pristine Palace expanded their territory by using our clan. We killed and plundered for your campaigns. After they made us the scapegoat to the entire cultivation world, you all actually betrayed us, killed our king, massacred our people, and imprisoned all our loyal disciples who had paid so much. You’re all so fucking wretched! Damnable abominations!”
Diablo Praecantator Clan? Sacred Pristine Palace?
No tail, head, nor anything came to Chen Zhizhong’s mind. He was utterly confused. He was not a cultivator before and knew very little about the happenings in the cultivation world. However, he was sure of something at this moment. The fact that these people’s ability to move and act was limited and subject to restrictions. They seemed to be unable to come out of the energy shield, nor were they able to free themselves from those black chains. Hence, they posed no threat to him.
“Gotta leave this place fast!”
Chen Zhizhong thought for a moment before turning around and frantically dashing the way he came from. Running as fast as he could, he shuttled back through the forested mountains and appeared before Tang Xiu 20 minutes after.
“Master.”
Tang Xiu opened his eyes and asked in surprise, “Weren’t you searching around? Why did you come back so soon?”
Chen Zhizhong gulped and hurriedly said, “I found some monsters in the valley tens of kilometers away, Master. They said that they’re from Diablo Praecantator Clan and things like Sacred Pristine Palace I know nothing about. I didn’t get anything they said, so I hurriedly returned. Ah, that’s right. I also saw something. These monsters are all prisoners here. They are imprisoned.”
Diablo Praecantator Clan and Sacred Pristine Palace?
Disbelief and incredulity were obvious on Tang Xiu’s face. He had heard of these two names; not on Earth but in the Immortal World!
It was recorded in the Immortal World that the Diablo Praecantator Clan and the Sacred Pristine Palace had once existed. But according to that ancient records, they were around more than 100,000 years ago.
