Chapter 1929: Chapter 1914: Black Cloud Great Saint
"Princess Chimei, help me get Xuan Hu out of this black prison, and I am willing to let Xiao Mao truly be your imperial consort!"
Ye Zhen’s resolute voice first caused the face of the nearby Guardian Demon Commander to change drastically.
Faced with no choice, he allowed Princess Chimei to bring Ye Zhen’s group in, already shouldering a great responsibility, but now Ye Zhen wanted to take Xuan Hu away.
Xuan Hu was personally imprisoned in the black prison by the Black Cloud Great Sage. If he were released from his hand, he was sure the Black Cloud Great Sage would definitely imprison him himself.
Without hesitation, the Guardian Demon Commander crushed a jade talisman he had been preparing in his palm.
The position of being the Guardian Demon Commander of the Black Tiger Prison, inside and out, is one of enduring grievances. The current Guardian Demon Commander had already gained experience, thus preparing for such situations.
Regarding Ye Zhen’s decision, as a member of the Demon Race, Yun Ben understood very well the difficulty of freeing someone imprisoned in the black prison, something that an ordinary Princess Chimei could not accomplish.
He wanted to persuade Ye Zhen to abandon the idea, but seeing Xuan Hu’s pitiful and unbearable appearance, the rotten flesh cut off by Ye Zhen, and glancing at Ye Zhen’s eyes, ready to spew fire, he wisely shut his mouth.
As for Princess Chimei, it was clear that she was not one of those brainless figures.
She glanced joyfully at the sturdy Xiao Mao beside her, then shook her massive tiger head, introspectively pondering.
Evidently, she also understood that this matter would not be easy.
"Bear with it, the bones here are all black and need to be scraped off!"
After Xuan Hu nodded, Ye Zhen wielded the Spirit Blade in his hand, producing a teeth-clenching sound of bone scraping, just hearing it made people glance over, yet Xuan Hu was unfazed.
Having endured the dark and endless days in the black prison for a year and a half, this pain was truly insignificant to Xuan Hu.
Ye Zhen’s nose tingled.
To be honest, Ye Zhen’s initial thought was to first assess Xuan Hu’s situation, understand his condition, and then slowly find a way to possibly get Xuan Hu out of the Black Tiger Prison.
However, upon seeing Xuan Hu’s condition, Ye Zhen could no longer hold back.
Immediately resolving, no matter what, he must rescue Xuan Hu.
Ye Zhen’s first thought on rescuing Xuan Hu was a prison break!
With Ye Zhen’s current strength, a sudden attack could presumably deal with this Guardian Demon Commander and snatch Xuan Hu.
But the difficult part was how to get out.
This self-contained realm of Black Tiger Prison requires secret techniques to activate a command talisman for entry and exit.
Although Ye Zhen could forcefully intimidate this Guardian Demon Commander to open the passage, the problem was, what if this Guardian Demon Commander had a hardened resolve?
Furthermore, more importantly, if Ye Zhen violently took Xuan Hu away, it would be no issue for Xuan Hu, already harmed to this extent, defecting from the Demon Race is no problem.
But what about Yun Ben and Princess Chimei?
Yun Ben is Ye Zhen’s friend and helped Ye Zhen this trip. If Ye Zhen frees Xuan Hu, it would immediately bring disaster upon Yun Ben.
Though Tiger Chimei did this because she was interested in Xiao Mao, she still helped Ye Zhen, allowing him to see Xuan Hu.
At the same time, if Ye Zhen opportunistically freed Xuan Hu, it would also bring disaster upon her.
Ye Zhen cannot do ungrateful things like that.
Thus deliberating, Ye Zhen again opened his mouth to Tiger Chimei, hoping she could think of a solution.
After contemplating for a few moments, Tiger Chimei glanced at Ye Zhen, and then spoke to the Guardian Demon Commander.
"Bringing Xuan Hu directly out of the black prison is likely impossible, however, you’ve seen that Xuan Hu is on the verge of losing consciousness.
Can we find a place where he can recover steadily? Let him recuperate first, then we go out and seek Third Cousin, see if we can earn a favor to have him release Xuan Hu, what do you say?"
Tiger Chimei’s plan considered both sides, wouldn’t make it too difficult for the Guardian Demon Commander, catered to Ye Zhen’s emotions, and gave Xuan Hu a chance for survival.
"This...I really don’t dare!" The Guardian Demon Commander laughed bitterly, "Princess Chimei, why don’t you first go and seek a favor from the Black Cloud Great Sage, then come handle this?"
Upon hearing the Guardian Demon Commander still delaying, Tiger Chimei abruptly pounced to his front, "Are you giving face while wanting none! My mutually beneficial plan, brings you no harm, yet you refuse to do it!
Believe me, I’ll take them forcibly now, see what difficulty I bring upon you!"
Tiger Chimei made a threatening gesture, rushing before Ye Zhen, saying, "Let us go now, bring Xuan Hu along, I’ll see who dares stop me!"
"Princess, don’t!" The Guardian Demon Commander was anxious.
In truth, Tiger Chimei’s act merely pressured the Guardian Demon Commander to agree to her mutually beneficial plan.
However, at the moment, the Guardian Demon Commander had his own hidden suffering.
For he had already crushed the Warning Jade Token!
"Still unwise, we’re leaving!" Seeing the Guardian Demon Commander still not yielding, Tiger Chimei became angry, wanting to take Ye Zhen and Xuan Hu away!
"How dare you!"
At this instant, thunderous anger resonated from afar in the black prison, ten or more streaks of black light surged majestically from a distance.
As the echo faded, a martial artist dressed in a blood-red cloak, donned in black attire with a square-faced, wide-mouthed appearance, a tail like an iron whip covered with black cloud patterns flicking behind the cloak, appeared at the prison entrance, instantly blocking the exit.
Almost simultaneously, the majestic Dao Realm Expert’s aura continuously poured from this demon clan martial artist, pushing Tiger Chimei, Yun Ben, Ling Qianbi, and others back, their faces changing drastically.
"Third Cousin!" Clearly, this Dao Realm Expert from the Tiger Clan is the Black Cloud Great Sage mentioned by the Guardian Demon Commander, the Third Cousin mentioned by Tiger Chimei.
"Silence!"
"Bearing the black tiger bloodline, yet disregarding numerous edicts set by the Black Tiger King who upholds the law, not only that, attempting to initially violate, I disown such a cousin!" The Black Cloud Great Sage, as he appeared, angrily scolded Tiger Chimei uncontrollably.
"You..." Tiger Chimei was directly stunned by the reprimand, momentarily unable to think of a rebuttal.
Thereafter, the imposing Black Cloud Great Sage kicked the place’s Guardian Demon Commander flying, blood gushing from his mouth.
"Useless!"
"The king asked you to guard the Black Tiger Prison, yet you dare betray from within, everyday seeking benefits notwithstanding, now even letting people into the black prison holding major criminals, I see you’re audacious beyond measure!"
In his fury, the Black Cloud Great Sage laid his eyes upon Ye Zhen and the others, "A few insignificant humans, dare intrude into the black prison of my Black Tiger Clan, truly unaware of the dangers! Men, take them down; if they resist, kill without mercy!"
Instantly, over ten Guardian Commanders at the late stage of the Realm King Realm behind the Black Cloud Great Sage shouted and received the order!
