Chapter 33: Strange
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After a moment, Zhao Yuling opened her eyes and a dazzling light shot out from them which was utterly eye-piercing.
She got to her feet and took in the sensation of the creepy strength within her body, her face revealing a smile.
The breakthrough was a success. It would be easy for her to free herself from danger!
That place could no longer hold her down!
Currently, she was no longer the girl she used to be.
“Foreign clan!”
“Hmph!”
Zhao Yuling let out a cold snort and her battle spirit grew stronger.
She clenched both her hands!
That was a practice she always did when she was holding onto her sword, ready to engage in a battle.
This time, there was no sword in her hand but only two pieces of paper. The sensation that transmitted to her hands was hence an unexpected and weird feeling.
She lowered her head to look.
She glanced at the two pieces of bloody papers in her hand and was puzzled.
‘What is this?’
Her stunning brows gently frowned. She opened up the bloody papers with curiosity in her heart.
She skimmed through the content on the paper.
Zhao Yuling was stunned!
“The whereabouts of the clansmen of Mei clan within the lands of Xia clan, and there are detailed records about their abilities! What’s the meaning of this? Who on earth put this in my hands?”
???
Lots of questions appeared in Zhao Yuling’s mind.
She could read and understand every word on the paper. However, after she had read through it, why did it make her more confused instead?
Her expression was a look of shock.
At that moment, she noticed a weird thing.
‘Since when were the chains on my hands and legs broken?’
‘Well, first off, I can rule out the possibility that the foreign clan had suddenly become kind.’
‘And it’s unlikely that the chain broke by itself.’
‘So, is this an act of someone else?’
Zhao Yuling put up her guard and glanced at the surroundings.
She did not find any suspicious activity.
When she lowered her head to think about it, she could not come up with anything resembling a hint.
Instead, the more she thought of it, the more she became lost!
‘This is way too weird?’
‘Everything is too suspicious.’
“Forget it, I’m not going to bother about it. I’ll head out for now.”
Finally, Zhao Yuling placed the bloody papers in her pocket.
Then, her battle spirit that was fading once again throttled up.
She made a move and slapped on the huge golden-bronze door aggressively.
The fierce aura seeped out of her body, and—boom—the huge golden-bronze door was blasted open by the tremendous force.
It was a simple feat.
The door was unlocked!
Things must be getting even weirder if the door was opened so easily.
However, Zhao Yuling did not let her guard down because of it. She was completely cautious as she walked out of the dungeon.
There were no guards outside.
To be accurate, all the guards were dead, leaving behind nothing but a few pulps.
“White Shirt Angel, you’re out? That’s great. Come help us open the chains of the cage.”
In that dungeon, apart from locking up Zhao Yuling, there were a few fighters of the Zhang family who had been locked up as well.
The only difference was that they were not locked up in a special way as Zhao Yuling was.
The group of them were just locked up with chains in an ordinary jail room.
They were still conscious.
They were able to make noise, shout, and even curse if they wanted to!
Once they saw Zhao Yuling, some of them even whooped in delight.
He was from the same batch that was caught along with Zhao Yuling and she recognized him.
“Who killed all these guards?” Zhao Yuling frowned and asked.
“The guards are dead?”
The gaze of the prisoners all shifted to the place where the guards used to stay guard and noticed the floor had a pile of pulps.
“You guys don’t know how the guards died?”
The group of prisoners in the ordinary prison was just separated by a metal railing. They were able to see the guards by just lifting their eyes. However, they had no idea how they died.
This made the event even more uncanny.
It was as if the palace was haunted!
The spooky atmosphere made one have goosebumps.
‘I got to leave this place fast.’
‘Or else, I’ll keep feeling scared.’
“Later, don’t make a commotion when I release you guys. You’ll all follow me and break out to the outside,” Zhao Yuling said with a low voice.
Naturally, she, who had broken through the King’s realm, was the strongest being in that place.
Her aura was now spreading out, and it made all the imprisoned fighters utterly shocked.
‘This is not an aura that a Precelestial Grandmaster should have!’
They sensed that White Shirt Angel had already broken through the realm of Demi-King!
This made them jealous yet thrilled.
With such a powerhouse with them, their hopes of getting out of that place would be greatly improved!
Zhao Yuling made a move and utilized her aura to vibrate the metallic gold door of the dungeon until it opened. The chains binding the inmates were also destroyed by the vibration.
The prisoners were in no hurry to make a move, awed by her abilities. They were very well-mannered. Those who were rescued first also helped to free the remaining people. There were also some of them collecting metallic railing and were enthusiastic to prepare for the imminent bloody war when they rushed out.
After half an hour, a group of fighters rushed out of the dungeon.
Their jaws dropped when they saw the scene outside.
There was not even a single person alive.
They had even raised their morale, anticipating a bloody war to break out.
‘So what’s up with this situation?’
They surveyed cautiously and finally clarified that the entire Zhang family had been slaughtered by someone!
“Oh my god, all the corpses aren’t even in their proper shape anymore. I wonder which senior did this! It’s so brutal!”
“All these people were killed with just a strike. It looks like they didn’t even have the chance to counter-attack.”
“There’s a palm marking here. I think this is the only place that has a trace of battle.”
“Look guys, the entire ground has sunk a layer. The soil is harder than rocks. It’s like the ground has been compressed by some huge force.”
“Who on earth could create such a horrifying scene!”
Everyone looked at the palace of the Zhang family. That scary huge palm made them feel stunned.
That was not something an ordinary person would be able to do.
Even a standard Demi-King could not even unleash such a spine-chilling attack.
“White Shirt Angel, can you identify the rank of the powerhouse who made this attack?”
A fighter looked at Zhao Yuling and asked her out of curiosity.
He was a Precelestial Fifth Erudition and could only sense that the aura around the huge palm was extraordinarily creepy. It made him terrified and unable to make an accurate judgment.
“Very strong, so strong that it’s terrifying. My feelings could not match up to it. Possibly it’s a senior of an Ultimate Demi-King who did it!”
Zhao Yuling thought that she had broken through the realm of Demi-King
Judging from the aura left behind by the huge palm, she firmly decided that she could not match up to such power. So, she was brave enough to guess that it was left behind by an Ultimate Demi-King.
It never crossed her mind that it was left behind by Chu He using the ability of a King’s level.
Her horizon of the world was still too narrow!
Actually, given her current rank, if she had some secret technique, she would be able to create the same overwhelming scene. It was just that her body would be so drained if she did that and even her foundation would be destroyed. Maybe the realm that she just entered would be brought crumbling down as well.
“Ultimate Demi-King? Could it be that the foreign clan had caused such a huge commotion that the elders staying guard at the three borders had returned?” someone shouted.
According to his knowledge, the Xia clan was an overwhelming power because of the three Ultimate Demi-King elders who were sitting guard at the borders.
“Have you guys forgotten about it?! The Lin family has a hidden Ultimate Demi-King elder. This is the Lin commandery, and it’s even more likely that the foreign clan had triggered him, prompting the elder to make a move!”
Someone spoke up as if he had recalled something.
Zhao Yuling had a thought when that comment was blurted.
Chu He’s silhouette appeared in her mind.
Then, a few rather embarrassing images came flooding into her mind.
Her face became scarlet, and her mind became a mess.
“White Shirt Angel, the men from the investigation organization have arrived. They’ve summoned us over!”
At that moment, a Precelestial fighter came into the scene and spoke respectfully.
