"This is a heavily guarded prison; no trespassing is permitted." The guard glanced at us, his face stern.
You and I exchanged a glance. This was indeed a bit of a problem. We couldn't very well go to Luo again for such a trivial matter.
"We're not going in recklessly. We just want to go in and take a look, have a chat with the evil spirit from yesterday, and we definitely won't do anything." I tried to communicate with the guard again.
The guard shook his head. "It really won't work. Please don't make things difficult for us."
You glanced at the guard. "Whose permission do you need before you let us in?"
"If you have their pass, I can let you in if you go to Dongchen Palace."
"Okay." You nodded and pulled me away to Dongchen Palace.
I do remember Dongchen Palace. It used to be a subordinate palace of the Heavenly Court, responsible for organizing and reporting various matters. I don't think the Heavenly Prison was under their jurisdiction before.
"You, let's hurry up, I don't want to run into Luo later."
"good."
When we meet Luo, we inevitably exchange some unnecessary pleasantries, which is quite troublesome. It's better if we see each other less often.
After I told You to hurry up, You led me to Dongchen Palace in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, the celestial official in charge of Dongchen Palace was someone we knew before. After listening to our story, he reluctantly signed the pass for us.
After obtaining the pass, we quickly returned to the prison and showed it to the guards at the prison gate.
After the guards checked us, they readily let us in and even assigned one of them to lead the way.
Having not visited the Heavenly Prison for a long time, this revisit truly felt like a return to an old haunt.
I remember waking up in the Heavenly Prison when I first transmigrated to this world.
The guard led us there in no time. Just like the last time we saw him, he was wrapped in a black robe, obscuring his face.
Perhaps he wasn't a heinous or powerful demon, and the floor he was imprisoned on wasn't very deep.
The black-robed demon remained seated on the ground even after hearing our voices. He and our guards explained, "This demon hasn't spoken since we brought him in yesterday. We've tried all sorts of torture, but nothing has made him talk."
"Is that so?" I was a little surprised. He was a tough nut to crack. No wonder Liu Lieyu chose him.
"Well, so you probably won't get any answers from him."
Thank you.
"It's nothing." The guard waved his hand and tactfully withdrew.
I looked the black-robed demon up and down, and asked, "What did you do to the spirits of the village?"
Just as the guard had said, the black-robed demon seemed to have completely ignored what I was saying and paid no attention to me.
"Did you hear that?" I asked again, loudly.
The black-robed demon didn't even raise his head.
Just as I was about to ask again, You stopped me, "Don't ask now, he won't answer you if you keep asking like this."
"What should we do then?" I looked up at You's calm face.
"Let me ask," You said, ruffling my hair.
"Okay." I nodded.
You Song let me step forward, but instead of asking me what I expected, he closed his eyes and silently recited a spell before casting a spell on the black-robed demon.
You easily subdued the black-robed demon. I thought You would ask a question, and then the black-robed demon would answer something, but I was wrong.
You directly pulled out the black-robed demon's memories and looked through the memories about the immortal spirit.
I secretly admired him; he was truly a master.
I'm such a noob.
After You pulled out the black-robed demon's memories, I carefully observed them, and the fairy spirit in the black-robed demon's memories was indeed as beautiful as the boy had said.
It turned out that this black-robed demon had been cultivating near the village for many years and had always been at odds with the immortals. Because of the immortals' resistance, the black-robed demon did not dare to act recklessly. He could only secretly capture some souls that died naturally and did not dare to openly harm people.
This balance was broken by Liu Lieyu. One day, Liu Lieyu approached the black-robed demon and asked him to do something for him. He could greatly increase the black-robed demon's demonic power and even help the black-robed demon destroy the immortal spirit.
Without hesitation, the black-robed demon agreed. As promised, Liu Lieyu greatly increased the demon's power. The first thing the demon did after gaining this power was to go to the temple and devour the immortal spirit.
Seeing this, I felt a little sad. Did the kind and beautiful fairy really die like this?
I wanted to keep watching, but the black-robed demon's memories suddenly became chaotic, filled with indistinct black and white images, making it impossible to discern anything.
What happened next?
"Just as I thought." You withdrew the spell with a knowing expression, and the black-robed demon's memories gradually faded away.
"What do you mean?" You found out again? I blinked and looked at You curiously, waiting for her explanation.
"Although Liu Lieyu could greatly increase his demonic power, the black-robed demon himself could not withstand such a large amount of energy in a short period of time, and his soul was injured."
"Is that so?" I was a little surprised. "Then how could Liu Lieyu still control him to harm me?"
I remember clearly that he was also in the ward that day.
"It would be incredibly easy for Liu Lieyu to control a demon who has gone mad."
After hearing what You said, I understood.
"Can't the immortal spirit be saved?" The last thing the black-robed demon remembered was devouring the immortal spirit.
You shook his head as he looked at the black-robed demon. "Although he devoured the immortal spirit, he may not have fully digested it. The immortal spirit still has a glimmer of hope."
"Then let's save him quickly." I was overjoyed to hear that Xianling might still be alive.
"Okay, but don't have too high expectations, after all this time."
"Yes, I understand."
After You agreed, she cast a spell again.
A wisp of blue slowly rose from the black-robed demon's chest. This was... I squinted at it.
This ball of azure light was gentle and auspicious, exactly the same as the light when the immortal spirit cast spells before!
Upon seeing this, You flipped his right hand and a white jade seal appeared in his hand.
With his left hand, You used his magic to activate the white jade seal, which emitted bursts of bright light that absorbed the azure light in the air into the jade.
Only after You had finished dealing with everything did I dare to approach and disturb her.
I pointed to the seal in You's hand, "This is...?"
"This seal can be used for immortals to cultivate themselves," You said, handing the seal to me.
Huh? Why did you give it to me?
"What are you giving me for?" I held the seal as if it were a hot potato.
"What? Do you want me to be with a beautiful woman every day?" You raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.
"Never mind then, I'll keep it safe." Upon hearing this, I readily put the seal away.
You smiled and said, "Although Xianling has managed to survive, she is already at her last gasp. When she regains consciousness, she probably won't even remember who she is."
Is it that serious?
"It's a miracle you survived," You said calmly. "If it weren't for my seal protecting you, you would have been annihilated long ago."
"She's injured so badly, she'll need a long time to recover."
"That's natural."
