Chapter 23 - 23 Chapter 23: 3 Goals (2/2)

the woman’s face remains calm and she says, “give the kun tian key to me.”

“the kun tian key? what is it for?” su nan is puzzled, not understanding what the woman wants with the key. without much thought, he hands the key to her.

the kun tian key was held in the woman’s hand, her eyes slightly closed.

the next moment, something unexpected happened to su nan.

the woman somehow made the silver-white key bloom with dazzling light in her hand.

the light didn’t last long, and when the mysterious girl reopened her eyes, she threw the key to su nan and said:

“there are 72 prison cells on the first floor of the prison, and among these cells, 65 of them imprison demons.”

“among these demons, most of them are not something you can deal with. the ones you can deal with are only in three cells: 15, 28, and 42.”

there seemed to be abilities of the kun tian key that su nan didn’t know about. the mysterious girl seemed to be able to check all the prison cells with the help of the key.

in just a short breath, the mysterious girl had already selected the targets for su nan.

“three?” su nan frowned.

out of 65 demons, he could only deal with three of them, making the ratio too small.

this could only mean one issue: he was too weak!

su nan quickly calculated that the three demons meant three two-star tasks, which would be 15 demon points.

he needed 24 demon points to cultivate the iron ape sutra to perfection.

even if he handled all three demons, there wouldn’t be enough power to perfect the iron ape sutra, let alone awaken the bloodline combat skill.

not being able to awaken a bloodline combat skill, his strength would not be enough to deal with other demons. this would put him in a dead cycle of having no demons to hunt.

unless, he could complete a three-star task.

su nan’s face turned ugly, as three-star tasks weren’t easy to complete.

remembering the task refreshed today, he asked, “senior, do you know what’s imprisoned in cell no. 30?”

the mysterious girl glanced at him and said, “the existence in the cell is not something you can deal with.”

“senior, i’m not planning to face that existence.”

“but i don’t know if it’s aware of me or not. every time i get close to that cell, i get killed inexplicably.”

this issue had troubled him for two days, and if he couldn’t solve it, it meant that he could only stop in front of the cell no.30.

“you’re saying that every time you pass that cell, you die?”

“yes.” su nan nodded.

“looks like that old fellow is completely out of control and can’t control his own power anymore.”

the woman’s voice was very soft, but su nan still heard it.

there was a flash in his eyes as he asked, “senior, are you saying that the being in cell no. 30 is also a human martial artist?”

the mysterious girl nodded and said, “yes, that cell houses a very strong senior.”

“senior?”

upon hearing the girl’s words, su nan was taken aback. what kind of existence could be called a senior by her?

“i don’t know what realm that senior once belonged to, only that he was seriously injured several years ago, resulting in almost complete dispersal of his strength.” the girl spoke slowly, her eyes showing pity.

“strength almost completely dispersed?”

su nan was even more shocked; an existence with an almost completely dispersed strength could still silently kill him when out of control, making him unable to imagine how powerful it was!

he quickly asked, “what should i do then, senior?”

the mysterious girl was silent and didn’t respond to su nan, seemingly lost in her thoughts.

after a long time, she finally said, “maybe you can go and take a look inside cell no. 30, and you might even gain some fortuitous encounters.”
