The two old men were usually cheerful and full of laughter, but now their faces were dark and gloomy—this had touched the bottom line of their hearts!
Whoever dared to release the creatures from the earthen jars would become their enemy.
Freeing those beings would bring about human tragedy and unleash calamity upon the world!
Shi Hao’s face was stiff, for he was suppressing his fury, not letting it erupt, making his expression appear rigid.
For both public and private reasons, he would never agree. It was one thing for someone close to them to injure Qin Hao, but to exploit him like this? They truly had a death wish.
However, Shi Hao did not act immediately. Instead, he remained calm and said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t do it. I once tried to explore this place before, but it’s strange and dangerous. Now that I’m afflicted with the Immortal-Severing Curse, my cultivation has already declined. Though I haven’t completely lost my power, I’m certainly not as strong as before. I can’t afford to act recklessly here.”
Upon hearing this, a flash of disdain flickered in Yi Luo’s eyes, though she concealed it well. “We merely seek your assistance, Brother Daoist. There’s no need for drastic measures.”
Shi Hao sneered inwardly. Were they about to tear off the pretense? Even if he could help—which he couldn’t—did they really think he wouldn’t know whether this place was dangerous or not?
“Brother Daoist, have you ever touched those earthen jars?” Xu Hui asked.
Shi Hao naturally wouldn’t admit to anything. “No, I only lingered outside. But I always felt an oppressive aura, as if the stone statues in the black hall were exuding a terrifying pressure that chilled the heart.”
“Later, we can act together. There are only some lingering spirits here. After countless years, they must be weak and insignificant. Nothing to worry about,” Xu Hui said with a smile.
Shi Hao wondered—were they here for some artifact, or did they intend to release those terrifying creatures? If it was the latter, their malice was too great, and they needed to be killed immediately!
“What exactly are you here for?” Shi Hao demanded.
“At this point, we won’t hide it from you. We do seek something of great importance,” Yi Luo said.
“You must have heard of the foreign realm’s invasion of the borderlands. They sought to cross over in search of something. If there are no surprises, this place must be key—it likely holds something crucial,” Xu Hui said gravely.
Upon hearing this, Bird Grandpa and Fine Jade Grandpa looked momentarily lost, then jolted as if recalling something. Their expressions darkened further.
“Even True Immortals wouldn’t know of this. How do you?” Fine Jade Grandpa asked, his voice calm but his eyes sharp. Shi Hao could tell—the old men were brewing a storm, ready to explode.
The two youths from the Immortal Domain had struck a chord in the old men’s hearts, awakening forgotten memories!
“True Immortals may not know of this place, but that young king learned of it by chance. His family is one of the strongest lineages in the Immortal Domain, and his ancestor is an invincible existence—one of the realm’s taboos,” Xu Hui explained.
“So, we’ve been honest with you, Brother Daoist, sharing this monumental secret,” Yi Luo said with a smile.
Shi Hao sighed inwardly. If they dared to reveal this, they surely intended to silence all witnesses later. Even their own followers would likely die. As for him—already crippled—he posed no threat.
“Bird Grandpa, anything else you want to ask?” Shi Hao glanced at the two old men.
“Ask my ass! How audacious—daring to reveal this place, daring to open it! They’ve got a death wish! Seal them here for a million years!” Bird Grandpa roared.
“I’ve remembered something. This place is forbidden—no changes must occur! Whoever dares release the creatures in those jars must die!” Fine Jade Grandpa snarled like a demon.
They had forgotten that not long ago, they themselves had brought Shi Hao here.
But the old men had been muddled—it wasn’t their fault. Now that they recalled fragments of the past, the gravity of this place demanded absolute secrecy.
“You dare interfere in our affairs?” Yi Luo laughed, her beauty icy.
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Shi Hao retorted—and struck first.
*Boom!*
His palm descended like a rainbow blade, swift and sudden.
Yi Luo and Xu Hui reacted instantly, countering with their full strength.
Amid the fierce clash, Yi Luo was sent flying, clutching her mouth. Blood spilled from her lips, her face swollen and bones cracked.
*Boom!*
Xu Hui was next, kicked in the chest, ribs snapping as he vomited blood.
The distant cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths trembled in fear. Was Shi Hao truly this ruthless? Daring to attack even the young elites of the Immortal Domain at the slightest provocation?
They felt an overwhelming sense of danger!
Shi Hao hadn’t lost his cultivation at all—his combat power remained terrifying, filling them with dread.
“Impossible! Your power hasn’t weakened at all—it’s even stronger than the rumors!” Xu Hui exclaimed, his face ashen.
Yi Luo, clutching her ruined face, was livid. She raised her other hand, revealing a glowing talisman radiating immortal light.
“You dare provoke me? You won’t be spared!” she shrieked, her gaze frigid.
Shi Hao’s heart pounded. What kind of talisman was this, emitting immortal radiance? The sheer danger forced him to draw the Great Luo Sword Embryo.
“Quite the bold move, bringing a Sealing Immortal Talisman!” Bird Grandpa sneered.
“Truly a scourge, daring to tamper with this place. This is like touching a true dragon’s reverse scale!” Fine Jade Grandpa chanted incantations, causing the earth to tremble.
“You dare?!” Yi Luo screamed.
*Hummm—*
The black ancient hall quaked, the prison cages shaking violently.
On one of the altars, an open-mouthed earthen jar—empty until now—suddenly inhaled like a whale swallowing the sea. In an instant, Xu Hui and Yi Luo, still clutching the ancient talisman, were sucked inside.
“Good. There was still a spare sealing jar,” Bird Grandpa remarked.
The distant onlookers from the Nine Heavens and Three Thousand Provinces were dumbstruck. Two mighty experts had just been sealed away in the blink of an eye.
“The secret must not leak. They must be sealed too!” Fine Jade Grandpa declared.
In the next moment, every follower who had come with Yi Luo and Xu Hui was captured, unable to resist, all sealed within the same jar.
“Eh? Why did I use that empty jar?”
After finishing, the two old men looked confused. Their memories were clearly still fragmented.
Chi Long Ge Gu rolled his eyes, and Shi Hao was speechless.
Half an hour later, Shi Hao interrogated Yi Luo and Xu Hui by pounding on the jar.
“Speak. What is this place? Explain clearly.”
The two were now terrified. Sealed away, their Immortal-Sealing Talisman useless despite their meticulous preparations—they couldn’t believe it.
“The young king of the Immortal Domain sent us to investigate. This has nothing to do with us!” Yi Luo pleaded in fear.
Even the Immortal-Sealing Talisman had been bestowed—this matter was far greater than they’d imagined. That person valued this place too highly.
“That person said the so-called lower realm prison doesn’t refer to the Eight Domains, but to the deepest part of the Void God Realm—where a true prison is hidden,” Xu Hui confessed, realizing the gravity of their situation. If he didn’t talk now, death was certain.
“What the foreign realm seeks might be here,” Yi Luo hastily added.
Shi Hao’s expression turned grave, his heart surging with turmoil.
The scale of this matter was indeed vast—beyond imagination. This place was a forbidden land of terror, never to be disturbed!
