My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 314: Chapter 313: Who Says I Can’t Get In?

To rescue him, they had to approach and open the door. No matter how fast they were, they would be seen. However, there was no one else around, so being exposed wasn’t a major issue. The real danger was the possibility of a distress signal being sent out.

When Feng Wuyun saw Ye Qingxuan, he was startled for a moment, then chuckled. "Well, well, well. I was wondering who it could be, and it turns out to be the Holy Daughter herself. I really didn’t expect you to actually sneak in here; you’ve got some skills. And you brought a human with you. I assume he’s the helper you found?"

"Saintess..." Upon seeing Ye Qingxuan, the Spirit Race Ancestor said urgently, "Go... you can’t open this cell! Leave, quickly! He’ll notify General Long any minute now..."

"Tsk, tsk. What’s the rush? I’m in no hurry to notify General Long." Feng Wuyun took out a Jade Pendant, placed it in his palm, and sneered. "The moment I crush this Jade Pendant, every guard in the entire Netherworld Prison will swarm this place. Even if you grew wings, you couldn’t escape!"

"But no need to rush. I’ll play with you for a bit first. I want you to watch this old fool’s pained expression. It’s really quite fun..." Feng Wuyun cackled as he prepared to pour poison into the Spirit Race Ancestor’s mouth.

"Stop, you traitor!" Ye Qingxuan yelled.

Feng Wuyun was an elder of the Spirit Race who had betrayed them along with Thundercloud. His job here was to extract the Spirit Race Ancestor’s memories. However, he hadn’t succeeded, so he could only take it slow, using a potent poison on the Spirit Race Ancestor to weaken his Spiritual Power.

Unfortunately, the ancestor’s power was too immense, and his Spiritual Power hadn’t weakened despite being poisoned for so long. If Feng Wuyun attempted to use the Soul-Searching Technique while his target’s Spiritual Power was so strong, the backlash would turn him into a drooling fool.

"Stop? You want me to stop? Then come on in, if you’ve got the guts!" Feng Wuyun laughed vilely. "But you can’t, can you? You don’t have a key, so how could you possibly get in? And even if you did, so what? The moment I crush this Jade Pendant, forget saving him—you won’t even be able to save yourselves! Hahaha..."

He burst into laughter, finding the entire situation absurd. He thought their actions were utterly futile. They could only watch helplessly as he tortured the ancestor, completely unable to save him. Such twisted thoughts were nauseating.

"Who said we couldn’t get in?" A figure appeared behind him, violently grabbing the arm holding the Jade Pendant. With an extremely fast yank backward and a sickening CRACK, the entire arm was snapped. The Jade Pendant fell and was caught by Yi Tianyun.

Then, Yi Tianyun unleashed a vicious kick. With a loud THUD, Feng Wuyun was sent flying into the wall, a large section of his body caving in from the impact. The kick was so swift and violent it nearly killed him outright.

If Feng Wuyun’s cultivation hadn’t been a little higher, he would have been killed by that single kick. The man’s vile demeanor really made Yi Tianyun want to just kick him to death.

"Ahhhh..." Feng Wuyun’s face was pale as he stared at the now-present Yi Tianyun with terror in his eyes. "Y-You... how did you get in!?"

Ye Qingxuan and the Spirit Race Ancestor were both completely stunned. Neither of them had seen how it happened; one moment Yi Tianyun was outside, and the next, he was in.

Ye Qingxuan remembered that Yi Tianyun knew Teleportation, but she thought, ’Can Teleportation even work on this cell? It’s restricted by Divine Runes, so teleporting inside should be impossible. Yet Yi Tianyun just did it. He got in so easily and even managed to severely injure Feng Wuyun.’

Yi Tianyun’s Spiritual Power was immense. As long as he could see and probe the situation within a space, he could use Instant Teleportation to enter it, completely ignoring any Divine Rune restrictions. If he couldn’t perceive the internal conditions and structure, he wouldn’t be able to teleport in. But since he had a clear view and understanding of the cell’s interior, entry was simple.

To put it simply, as long as he had a fixed destination point, he could instantly teleport to it!

"How did I get in? I just walked right in..." Yi Tianyun said, his gaze cold. He then took out the badge and flicked it out of the cell, where it landed in Ye Qingxuan’s hands.

After catching it, Ye Qingxuan immediately fitted it into the slot and successfully opened the cell door. This key was a master key, capable of opening any cell in the Forbidden Spirit Zone, but none outside of it.

"You have a key? Don’t tell me General Long is..."

Feng Wuyun stared in horror at the key in Ye Qingxuan’s hand, finding it impossible to believe they possessed one. There were only two such keys in existence: one held by the Netherworld Emperor, the other by General Long.

’It’s impossible that the Netherworld Emperor was killed,’ he thought. ’So that can only mean one thing... General Long is dead!’

Of course, that was just his assumption. The item that had dropped from the system was effectively a third key. Under normal circumstances, there were indeed only two keys in existence, and no more.

The next moment, Feng Wuyun slapped the ground with his one good hand and launched himself sideways, flying toward the exit.

But Yi Tianyun was faster. He instantly appeared in his path and lashed out with another kick. THUD! Feng Wuyun was sent flying again, like a rubber ball.

Feng Wuyun’s cultivation wasn’t low—he was at the Fifth-Layer Core Transformation Stage. But before Yi Tianyun, he was far too weak, someone to be toyed with at will.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Yi Tianyun picked up the vial of poison from the floor, grabbed Feng Wuyun, and forced the contents into his mouth. "Go on, enjoy the poison. Experience for yourself just how... intense this ’pleasure’ is!"

The moment the poison went down, Feng Wuyun screamed, clutching his head and thrashing wildly as if needles were piercing his brain, causing him unbearable agony.

That the Spirit Race Ancestor had been able to speak normally under the same torment was a testament to his immense willpower. As an ancestor, he had experienced far too much in his long life; he could endure this pain. Most importantly, he knew that he could not afford to relax for even a moment. If his secrets were extracted, the Spirit Race would be as good as half-destroyed.

"Qingxuan, what should we do with him?" Yi Tianyun asked.

Ye Qingxuan answered with her actions. She drew her silver whip and lashed out viciously at Feng Wuyun. CRACK! The domineering whip struck him, and his body was instantly Frozen. She struck him several more times, tearing his flesh to ribbons, but she did not kill him. Instead, she bound him tightly with the whip, leaving him completely immobile.

After just two moves from Yi Tianyun, Feng Wuyun was already grievously injured and couldn’t move. Yi Tianyun’s attacks were becoming increasingly refined; both kicks had struck vulnerable points, shattering bone. How could he possibly move? Now, after being lashed by Ye Qingxuan, he was barely clinging to life.

After venting some of her hatred, Ye Qingxuan helped the Spirit Race Ancestor down from the wall. The ancestor’s aura had become extremely faint; it would have been a miracle if he were in good condition after being tortured for so long.
