Chapter 128: What You Bring?
Ji Suying was taken aback for a moment.
Then she furrowed her brow.
The young man exuded a maturity that contrasted with his age.
“Are you curious about how I know?”
Ji Suying didn’t reply.
But it was clear she was acknowledging it.
The young man continued, “In fact, before you came to me, someone else had already sought me out for the same purpose!”
He glanced at the box in Ji Suying’s hand.
Then he pulled out a small box from his own robe.
He placed the box on the table and opened it.
Inside lay a pill with nine intricate pill patterns gleaming.
“I got this a long time ago. In this Cave Heaven, aside from lacking the ability to cultivate, we basically have everything else we need!”
Ji Suying remained silent.
The young man lifted his cup and took a sip of tea before asking, “So, since I lack nothing I need, what can you possibly offer to sway me?”
Ji Suying also placed her box on the table, her delicate fingers tapping on it rhythmically.
After a long pause, Ji Suying asked, “What if I told you I can take you out of here?”
The Third Prince’s hand holding the tea paused momentarily, and then he resumed his composure.
After finishing his tea, he placed the cup down and coolly replied, “That’s impossible. If you’re so familiar with this Cave Heaven, you should understand why we have these restrictions!”
“It’s a kind of sin, one that cannot be resolved!”
Ji Suying smiled faintly.
“Well, if I know the truth and still dare to claim I can get you out, it must mean I actually have a way!”
The Third Prince remained calm.
He even looked at Ji Suying and said, “Actually, I’ve been searching for a way out myself. Even if you didn’t mention it, over time, I would find a solution.”
He even added, “Even if a way out appeared now, I wouldn’t take it, so your offer doesn’t excite me!”
“At least, I’m not tempted!”
Ji Suying suddenly felt a headache coming on.
This secret realm had too many obstacles.
All her original plans were crumbling at this moment.
Ji Suying felt utterly helpless.
“So what could help me?”
The Third Prince stared into the distance, lost in thought for a long time.
After what felt like an eternity, he finally asked, “You just need to answer me one question!”
Ji Suying was momentarily taken aback but then nodded.
The Third Prince looked at Ji Suying with a serious expression.
“Will the sins on me fade away in the future?”
Hearing this, Ji Suying’s pupils contracted.
The Third Prince chuckled.
“I hold a portion of authority in this Cave Heaven. Since you entered, I’ve noticed your actions with those from the Angry Heaven Palace seem quite odd.”
“I’m certain it’s your first time in this secret realm, yet your familiarity with its rules suggests you’ve been here many times. That’s certainly noteworthy!”
“Such matters, with a little contemplation, can lead to some conclusions!”
Ji Suying smiled.
“The Third Prince remains as sharp as ever!”
The Third Prince said nothing.
At this moment, Ji Suying nodded.
“You’re heading in the right direction!”
The Third Prince was momentarily stunned, and then a broad smile broke out on his face.
“That’s good!”
After saying that, the Third Prince handed Ji Suying a token.
Ji Suying accepted the token, releasing a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Third Prince!”
The Third Prince waved his hand dismissively.
“Just do what you have to do quickly; you’ve already taken the initiative!”
Ji Suying nodded.
“I’ll take my leave!”
With that, Ji Suying left with Ji Mingyue.
The Third Prince, in a very good mood, had obtained the answers he wanted.
But suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
Then he vanished from the spot in a flash!
……
……
Outside Giant God City.
Lin Wudao and the Shadow Guard were feeling dumbfounded.
Initially, after entering the outer city, those Divine Grievances unexpectedly went berserk.
The enraged Divine Grievances slaughtered the cultivators entering the outer city with wild abandon, as if they were fueled by endless rage.
Lin Wudao thought he was about to meet his end.
But when those Divine Grievances saw the Yama Palace tokens at their waists, their blood-red faces turned white in an instant.
Then they wailed and fled.
Lin Wudao: “???”
Shadow Guard: “???”
Even the members of the Yama Palace were left stunned!
What does that mean?
Why do these souls run away like they’ve seen a ghost upon seeing them?
Even though we’re associated with the Yama Palace, we aren’t actually the Yama Palace!
Are we somehow now their nemesis?
Everyone was utterly confused.
Lin Wudao was equally puzzled.
“Are we really that terrifying?”
Lin Wudao turned to the Shadow Guard and asked.
The Shadow Guard took a careful look at Lin Wudao.
Then he scratched his head.
“Is it possible that Lord Yama passed by and did something unexplainable to those residual souls?”
Lin Wudao felt speechless.
“When you meet Yama, repeat what you just said!”

The Shadow Guard chuckled.
“I’m not stupid!”
Lin Wudao rolled his eyes.
“Since Lord Yama has cleared the path for us, let’s hurry up and meet him!”
“By the way, remember Lord Yama’s advice: act discreetly!”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got this!”
With that, the Shadow Guard turned to the brothers behind him.
“Brothers, what are you doing?”
Suddenly, the Shadow Guard noticed that their comrades were eating those Divine Grievances!
“Boss, these things are pretty crispy. Though they can’t compare to the Divine Soul Pills, they make for a nice snack!”
The Shadow Guard was astonished.
“Really? Let me try!”
Saying that, the Shadow Guard grabbed a stray soul and took a bite.
“Chirp…”
The Divine Grievance shrieked again.
The Shadow Guard’s eyes lit up.
He dashed to Lin Wudao.
“Boss, it’s really crispy! You should try it!”
At first, Lin Wudao was reluctant to eat.
But hearing the crunching sounds behind him, he skeptically grabbed a Divine Grievance and took a bite.
“Hmm!”
Lin Wudao’s eyes widened.
“Not bad!”
In an instant, all around the outer city, whether above or below ground, countless pairs of eyes glowed with a red light.
Those Divine Grievances huddled together, trembling in fear.
“Boom~”
Black smoke clouded the area.
Half an hour later, each member of the Yama Palace, whether cradling them in their arms or from within squirming storage bags, found themselves filled with Divine Grievances.
Lin Wudao and the Shadow Guard each held onto a Divine Grievance.
“Alright, we’ve got enough snacks. Remember, act discreetly and progress secretly. Don’t let anyone catch onto your trail!”
Lin Wudao instructed.
“Understood!”
The Yama Palace members echoed in unison.
Then, to Lin Wudao’s astonished expression, they quickly coalesced into a swirling black cloud, even crackling with lightning as they made their way toward the inner city.
The sight was so imposing that anyone who didn’t know better might think the apocalypse was upon them.
Lin Wudao stiffened as he turned to the Shadow Guard.
“Is this the army you brought with you?”
The Shadow Guard also felt a bit awkward: “Who would know that cloud is from the Yama Palace? This should count as low profile, right?”
