Lei Yucheng stopped in front of the building's entrance, his face also heavy with worry. He sighed and said:
"She's completely gone mad! She attacks anyone she sees, she doesn't recognize her own family, we had no choice but to lock her up in this place..."
Shen Yunhao, standing behind him, nodded slightly in agreement.
He had witnessed the terrifying power of evil spirits and blood energy many times.
The demon race, once thoroughly corrupted, will eventually become mindless monsters that only know how to devour their own kind. Even the wolf princess must be kept tightly locked up!
Otherwise, if she were to devour other demons, it would not only bring disaster but also cause irreversible damage to her.
The thought that the next generation of heirs, whom the Moon Devouring Clan had painstakingly nurtured, was imprisoned inside still stirred up a complex emotion in Shen Yunhao's heart.
“Sir!” Lei Yucheng suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Yunhao, his tone sincere but also probing, “Do you have any means of remote treatment? If it requires close contact… there might be some risks.”
He paused, then added, "Although my sister is currently trapped by the restrictions, she still possesses the cultivation of the late-stage Soul Control Realm. Once she goes berserk, her destructive power is extremely strong. Moreover..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear... He was worried that this "expert" was not strong enough to handle close-range risks.
Shen Yunhao looked at Lei Yucheng through the gauze curtain, remained silent for a moment, then shook his head. His voice, coming through the curtain, sounded somewhat low:
"I need someone to completely control it before I can use my methods; otherwise, it's all out of the question."
His tone was very firm and left no room for negotiation.
It wasn't that he couldn't use the Vast Ocean Heart for remote healing... it's just that he didn't want to expose the existence of the Vast Ocean Heart in front of the Moon Devourer Clan.
Upon hearing this, Lei Yucheng's face showed a troubled expression. He looked at Bai Xiaoruo, then at Shen Yunhao, and finally gritted his teeth:
"Okay, we will do our best to ensure your safety!"
Finally, Xiong Da was assigned to guard the entrance, while Zhu Zhu accompanied Shen Yunhao, Bai Xiaoruo, and Lei Yucheng into the building.
As soon as he entered, Shen Yunhao felt a chilling aura wash over him. Unlike the cold of the snow and ice outside, this was a bone-chilling cold.
The building has a very large interior space, but the layout is simple. A main corridor extends straight into the depths, with rooms on both sides sealed off by iron fences. Some are empty, and in some, you can vaguely see huddled figures inside.
A faint smell of blood filled the air.
Almost every ten steps, you could see fully armed wolf guards patrolling. Their auras were at least at the Soul Condensation Realm. When they saw Lei Yucheng leading people in, they simply nodded slightly in greeting and continued to carry out their patrol duties without looking to the side.
The formidable defenses were alarming.
“This place was originally where the clan’s most dangerous criminals were imprisoned…” Lei Yucheng explained to Bai Xiaoruo in a low voice as he led the way, his voice echoing in the empty passage. “My sister has a special identity. Even in the clan, not many people know that she has been infected. In order to keep it a secret and to prevent the spread of the blood aura, she was imprisoned here.”
Bai Xiaoruo frowned, but ultimately said nothing.
The group walked along the main passage for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before arriving at the entrance to a downward staircase.
The staircase was wide enough for five or six people to walk side by side, and the walls on both sides were inlaid with luminous crystals, providing a dim light source.
Lei Yucheng was the first to walk down the steps, followed closely by Bai Xiaoruo and Shen Yunhao, while Zhuzhu lagged behind.
The stairs are very deep.
Shen Yunhao silently counted the floors. After descending nearly ten floors, they finally arrived at the depths of the earth.
Suddenly, a vast underground space opened up before them. In the center stood a massive door forged from some kind of dark metal, its surface carved with intricate wolf-shaped totems. Blood-red gems were inlaid in the eyes of the totems, emitting a faint glow.
Two guards stood at the gate.
The aura emanating from these two guards sent a chill down Shen Yunhao's spine.
Late stage of the Void Soul Realm!
Moreover, they were not ordinary Void Soul Realm cultivators, but powerful individuals who had experienced countless battles and whose auras were solidified. Standing there, they were like two unshakable mountains, and when their gazes swept over, they carried a sharpness like a scrutinizing blade.
"Young Master!"
The two guards bowed slightly to Lei Yucheng, their voices hoarse and low.
Lei Yucheng stepped forward and whispered a few words to the two of them.
Shen Yunhao was a little far away and couldn't hear the specifics, but he could see that both guards had furrowed their brows.
One of the guards looked at Shen Yunhao, his gaze lingering on him for a moment, then turned to Bai Xiaoruo and said in a deep voice:
"Please wait outside, Your Highness. This gentleman will come in with us, and we will ensure his safety!"
"no!"
The suggestion was met with immediate opposition from Bai Xiaoruo. She stepped forward, standing in front of Shen Yunhao, a cold glint in her eyes:
“I want to go in too. I’m worried about him going in alone.”
"This..." The guard looked somewhat troubled. "Your Highness is of noble birth. If you were to be injured here by accident, we... would really have a hard time explaining ourselves."
Bai Xiaoruo frowned. "Even if he is infected with the blood of an evil spirit, Lei Yujin's cultivation level is still there. Why are you treating him like a ghost?"
“It’s not a matter of cultivation level…” Lei Yucheng sighed, then continued, “It’s because this evil soul’s blood energy is far too strange. Even if we get close to it, the blood energy will still affect us and erode our minds. Since this gentleman can dispel the evil soul’s blood energy, he is naturally not afraid of its erosion. But if we follow him in and are affected by the blood energy, causing him to have to distract himself from dealing with us, then it would be a loss for him…”
