Shen Yunhao took a deep breath, the cold air mixed with the nauseating smell of blood and decay filling his lungs, causing him to frown.
Through the gauze curtain on his straw hat, he could see the darkness behind the door flowing slowly like solid ink. The faint sounds of chains and beast roars coming from the darkness added to the ominous atmosphere of the scene.
The moment the door opened, the evil aura surging out from behind it caused the vast sea of energy between Shen Yunhao's brows to tremble slightly.
One can imagine just how deep the evil spirit and blood energy had accumulated in that wolf princess inside!
Thinking of this, he turned his head slightly and lowered his voice to instruct Zhuzhu behind him:
"Remember, stay close to me!"
"Okay, okay..."
Zhuzhu agreed verbally, but her tone carried a hint of indifference.
Although she had never personally come into contact with the evil soul's blood energy, those two wolf clan guards at the Void Soul Realm could come and go as they pleased. She was, after all, a great demon at the Spirit Void Realm. Was she really inferior to those two gatekeepers?
However, as she followed Shen Yunhao through the gate and was truly immersed in darkness, her brows furrowed instantly, and she let out a suppressed groan.
"Hmm..."
The stench that hit me was not just a simple fishy smell, but a deeper kind of malice that went straight to my soul.
It's like having countless people whispering and raving in your ears, stirring up an uncontrollable sense of irritability and violence in your heart.
She subconsciously took half a step closer to Shen Yunhao.
"It's...a truly disgusting smell."
Shen Yunhao noticed her reaction and his heart grew even heavier.
He looked at the two wolf guards leading the way and could vaguely see that they were surrounded by a faint vortex of spiritual energy, which was pale gold in color and formed a thin film of light covering their bodies.
It is estimated that this peculiar fluctuation of spiritual energy is what helps them resist the erosion of blood energy.
Otherwise, with their cultivation at the Void Soul Realm, it would be impossible for them to maintain their sanity under such intense blood energy.
It's worth noting that back in the Ancestral Dragon Land, even Mo Yan, a Void Realm cultivator, lost most of her sanity and fell into a deep sleep for half a year after being tainted by blood energy...
This is enough to show that it is difficult to resist the invasion of evil spirits and blood energy by relying solely on cultivation level.
"The protective layer on your bodies..." Shen Yunhao suddenly spoke, his voice coming through the gauze curtain, sounding somewhat ethereal in the empty cell.
One of the guards glanced back at him and replied briefly, "It's the 'Heart-Cleansing Spell Seal' personally cast by King Xiaoyue. It can only last for one hour. Once the time is up, we must leave, or we will also be corrupted by the blood energy."
Shen Yunhao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
...
The interior of this cell is much larger than it appears from the outside.
After walking about ten feet into the depths, Shen Yunhao could vaguely see a figure chained up in the dim light.
As they got closer, the figure's outline gradually became clearer.
It was a large white wolf.
Even now, curled up on the ground, its shoulder height is over ten feet. If it were to stand up completely, it would probably be over twenty feet tall.
Shen Yunhao had never seen the Moon Devourer Clan, also known as the Darkwing Snow Wolf Clan, before, but he could imagine from the name that they must be some kind of handsome and elegant beings.
Not to mention, she is the wolf princess of their clan, who is surrounded by countless accolades.
But the snow wolf in front of him gave Shen Yunhao a completely different feeling.
Its four wolf claws and its entire body were completely locked up by thick, jet-black iron chains. The chains were covered with complex runes and were emitting a faint golden light, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary items.
The slender wolf's snout was fitted with a thick metal ring, which tightly constricted its mouth, leaving only a slit open.
Its once snow-white fur was now filthy, covered in dark brown stains and dried blood.
The most shocking thing was its back... Unlike ordinary wolves, the Darkwing Snow Wolf was born with a pair of wings. However, at this moment, those wings were twisted in an extremely strange posture, with the wing bones obviously broken, the feathers falling off in a mess, and hanging limply on both sides of its body, like two tattered flags.
How could such a scene possibly have any connection with the "wolf princess"?
Even if you said this was a death row inmate who had been imprisoned for many years and suffered endless torture, no one would doubt it.
"How did it get into such a mess?"
The first to ask a question was Zhuzhu, who was standing behind her.
As Bai Xiaoruo's maid, she had met Lei Yujin before.
Back then, Lei Yujin was dashing and had an air of arrogance that looked down on his peers.
And now...
Zhuzhu's brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with seriousness.
The two guards kept their heads down and offered no explanation.
Because the giant wolf has already demonstrated through its actions why she is being treated this way.
"roar--!"
Upon hearing Zhuzhu's voice, the giant wolf, whose eyes had been tightly closed, suddenly opened them.
It was not the natural color of a beast's pupils at all, but a scarlet color as if it had been soaked in a pool of blood and permeated with endless malice! The pupils were fully dilated, and apart from the most primal bloodlust and madness, no rational emotions could be seen at all.
Then it started to struggle.
"Splash—!"
The heavy iron chains were suddenly taut, emitting a piercing metallic scraping sound, and the giant wolf's massive body twisted wildly, trying to break free of its restraints.
Because its muzzle was locked by a metal ring, it could not open its mouth to bite, and could only emit a low and frantic groan from deep in its throat.
Shen Yunhao could clearly see the irrational killing intent in the giant wolf's eyes. If it weren't for these specially made iron chains that restrained its movements, it would have instantly sprung up and torn everything in sight to shreds.
They didn't care who the person in front of them was, or how high their cultivation level was; all they cared about was killing and devouring, dragging all lives into that crimson abyss...
Lei Yucheng is absolutely right.
This once brilliant wolf clan prodigy has had his mind completely corrupted by bloodlust, and has one foot in eternal madness.
"town!"
Upon seeing this, the two guards' expressions hardened. They stepped forward simultaneously, forming hand seals. Two pale golden magic seals flew from their palms, merging in the air to form a larger array, which slowly descended and pressed down on the struggling giant wolf.
"Buzz—"
The array resonated with the iron chain seal on the giant wolf's body, and the runes and array patterns intertwined to form a double suppression.
The giant wolf's movements were hindered, but the crimson in its eyes did not fade at all, and the low growl in its throat continued, filled with resentment and violence.
"We hope you will receive medical treatment as soon as possible, sir!" One of the guards had beads of sweat on his forehead, clearly finding it difficult to maintain this restraint. "We cannot control the young lady for much longer!"
Shen Yunhao nodded, stepped forward, took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve, and opened it in his palm. Inside were long, thin silver needles.
