Chapter 848: Punishment
The Demon Realm, the Demon Palace.
Bai was punished by Li Yuan for secretly pursuing Ye Fei.
The Valley of the Dead, the most dangerous and terrifying place in the Demon Realm, was once the place of exile for demon prisoners. It is where countless ferocious demonic beasts are imprisoned, as well as naturally formed ominous formations and poisons.
Even a powerful expert at the Spirit Saint level might not survive once they enter the Valley of the Dead, because the extreme darkness inside is enough to torment you to the point of being unable to distinguish between ghosts and demons.
The punishment that Bai received was even more cruel—
His spiritual roots were sealed by Li Yuan, preventing him from using even a tiny bit of spiritual energy. He also had to stay in the Valley of the Dead for three days and three nights, using only his brute strength to fight against the demonic beasts, fierce formations, and poisonous creatures inside.
Many years ago, both Jiang Bai and Li Yu were punished by being sent to the Valley of the Dead for training, but their spiritual energy was not sealed at the time, so they managed to escape the Valley of the Dead with half their lives still intact.
But this time... Jiang Bai will probably die directly in the Valley of the Dead.
When Li Yu learned that Li Yuan had severely punished Jiang Bai, he was shocked and knelt in front of Li Yuan's palace for a whole day.
He and Jiang Bai had served the Venerable One for many years, their relationship as close as that of sworn brothers, but this punishment was far too harsh for Jiang Bai…
"Your Majesty! I know you are angry about what Bai did, but you sealed his spiritual root and made him stay in the Valley of the Dead for three days. He absolutely cannot come out alive! Now is the time to wage war. Your Majesty, are you really willing to watch Bai go to his death?!"
In response to Li Yu's desperate pleas, Li Yuan displayed the utter ruthlessness of the word "cold-blooded."
The atmosphere remained silent for a long time, and only Li Yuan's extremely cold words came from the tightly closed palace door: "A follower who cannot distinguish between friend and foe is better off dead."
Li Yu's face was filled with horror.
Finally, the ancestor Qiu Yu walked out of the palace, and a strong medicinal smell wafted out the moment the door opened.
Li Yu was worried about Jiang Bai, but he didn't forget the fire poison on Li Yuan's body. He knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at the Qiu Yu Ancestor: "Your Excellency, he..."
The ancestor Qiu Yu replied, "The medicinal herbs I asked you to find last month are all of sufficient medicinal value, and the inflammation has not recurred for the time being."
Li Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Ancestor Qiuyu knew that Jiang Bai had gone to the Valley of the Dead. He thought for a while, then patted him on the shoulder: "Judging by the time, you should be heading to the Arctic region soon."
Li Yu's handsome face darkened: "But he will be white..."
"Don't worry." Ancestor Qiuyu pointed to himself. "I'll go and persuade Li Yuan for you, how about that?"
Li Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "This... is something that is difficult to change once His Excellency has made a decision."
The Autumn Feather Ancestor smiled mysteriously: "In the end, it was because Jiang Bai crossed your Venerable One's bottom line by chasing Ye Fei. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. He may be angry, but he won't really let Jiang Bai die."
"With his current physical condition, it's difficult for him to even leave the Demon Palace. As for the Deep Sea Emperor Dragon Beast Core... we'll still have to rely on you to obtain it."
Li Yu immediately understood what Qiu Yu Ancestor meant, and his eyes lit up: "Qiu Yu Ancestor, can you really persuade His Majesty to withdraw the punishment against Jiang Bai?"
"Of course! Without the beast core, his life will eventually be handed over to the King of Hell." Ancestor Qiu Yu smiled and said softly, "Having failed to see his Empress again, how could Li Yuan allow himself to die like this?"
"Get up and get ready. Tomorrow, immediately go with Jiang Bai to the extreme ice zone to kill the Deep Sea Emperor Dragon and obtain its beast core."
After Qiu Yu finished speaking with great confidence, he turned around and walked back to his palace.
