Chapter 636 - Sealed Creature (1/2)

The Lianying family head lowered his gaze and ordered, “First, send someone to the sparrow spirit mine to look for the boy. If we can’t find him, we’ll inform Venerable Lian Hua. Venerable Lian Hua has been in closed-door cultivation in Spirit Sect for a hundred years now. We shouldn’t casually disturb him.”

Manager Mo nodded and went to comply.

Before leaving, Manager Mo looked worried again. “Master, if it’s really something that uses evil Qi, what should we do?”

The master of the Lianying family answered coldly, “Naturally, we will kill any that appear! The Youshan Capital never let anything evil get away!”

Soon, Manager Mo chose a person to look for Yan Tianhen. What happened in the sparrow spirit mine soon caused quite a stir. Just as Manager Mo was about to take people to the mine to investigate, he was stopped by Lianying Qi, who had heard the news.

“I heard that someone from those damn prisoners got away?” Lianying Qi asked with a sloppy posture.

Manager Mo answered respectfully, “There is indeed a missing prisoner right now. This subordinate intends to investigate immediately.”

“Trash.” Lianying Qi showed a contemptuous expression. “You couldn’t even keep watch over a single prisoner. Just what do you even do everyday?”

Manager Mo didn’t speak but just lowered his head.

“Who’s the person who ate so much guts that he even dares to run away from my Lianying family’s mine? If honourable me catches him, he will certainly be skinned!”

Manager Mo said faintly, “Young Master should have some impression of that person.”

Lianying Qi raised his eyebrow. “Oh? Me?”

Manager Mo replied, “Young Master had a few words with him outside the mine earlier.”

Lianying Qi paused, then immediately became furious and cursed, “To think it was that rabbit. Honourable me just knew that there was something wrong with that boy!”

Manager Mo was the Lianying family’s chief steward and had personally completed many tasks for Lianying Qi, one of which was to find trouble for Yan Tianhen. As for the reason why Yan Tianhen offended Lianying Qi, it was better to forget it.

Lianying Qi said, “Honourable me will also go and take a look.”

Manager Mo said, “Young Master, there are many dangers in that mining cave. Others don’t know the extent of the dangers, but Young Master should understand the situation inside. In consideration of your safety, let’s…”

“Why are you blabbering so much?” Lianying Qi said impatiently, “With honourable me’s present cultivation, don’t tell me that I still can’t compare to that little bitch who doesn’t know his place? Cut the crap, honourable me is definitely going to that sparrow spirit mine today.”

Lianying Qi did whatever he wanted, and no one in the capital dared to offend his sharp edge.

Yan Tianhen had once offended him, so it was only natural for him to see Yan Tianhen caught and put to death. Only then would he feel satisfied.

……

Inside the sparrow spirit mine.

Yan Tianhen had almost walked to the end.

Although this path was dark and no light came in, it didn’t appear dark. There were countless sparrow spirits buried deep in the thick surface, quietly emitting a faint light.

The light was refracted through the ice again, making the whole deep tunnel look bright and dreamy. After walking through a difficult road of gale and snow, Yan Tianhen turned a corner, yet he could no longer see any snow ahead.

A natural ice cave appeared in front of him. Looking up, there were thick, sharp icicles hanging from the hundred-foot high ceiling. They were different in height and size, forming a magnificent picture scroll. Yan Tianhen didn’t know exactly where this was, but when the blood in his body reached here, it started to boil — as if something was calling to him.

Yan Tianhen licked his lips as he held two modestly sized sparrow spirits in his left hand and a pale purple whip in his right hand, ready to attack at any time.

Suddenly, Yan Tianhen heard the faint sound of a wild beast roaring. The voice was thick and stifling, and it seemed somewhat excited and also somewhat sad. Yan Tianhen paused. His intuition told him to go and take a look, but his reason made him stand still. Yan Tianhen hesitated for a moment.

He saw the shining dots of sparrow spirits around him, and his fingers subconsciously began to pick at the sparrow spirits in his hands.

If I suck away all the spiritual Qi in these sparrow spirits, I wonder if those guys outside will be so angry they’ll even vomit their essence blood?

When Yan Tianhen thought about this, his fingers started to move uncontrollably. He had an urge to absorb the sparrow spirits, but he knew that if he absorbed spiritual Qi in this place, he would be simply looking for death. Yan Tianhen struggled with his own nature for a long time.

This crazy urge to absorb–

At this time, however, a series of explosions sounded one after another. Startled, Yan Tianhen looked in the direction of the sound and immediately understood.

This was the sound of mining.

They used explosive magic treasures to blast a path through the thick mountain and ice, then sent people in to clean up the broken rocks. Finally, they would throw down the miners to chisel away at the sparrow spirits.

This noise was not small, so that after the explosion, the roar Yan Tianhen had heard just now rang out in the cave again, but it was angrier than before.

Yan Tianhen also couldn’t understand why he could hear the roar of the wild beast whose species he couldn’t even distinguish, yet he could understand the emotions contained in it.

So Yan Tianhen decided to take a look.

Inside the thick ice, he was actually able to see an enormous demonic beast that was as tall as this mountain cave. This demonic beast had four antlers and its entire body was snow-white. It looked like a mutated white deer. It had a pair of round black eyes, so it looked down at the short human outsider with an indulgent commanding attitude.

“My Dao ancestors ah.” Yan Tianhen murmured involuntarily. “Isn’t this way too big?”

The demonic beast cried a few times, and its four hooves wanted to bend down to kneel. However, the legs were only half bent when they became tightly bound by the thick chain wrapped around them, and the beast could not move at all.

The demonic beast cried again, sounding both eager and lamentful.
