Chapter 868: Im Still Here!
Inside the Celestial Northern Prison, Du Wuhen let out a similar groan. "What an unlucky day..."
But unlike Little Second Brother on the outside, he was dealing with a real crisis.
Moth was slamming against the barrier with increasing speed and force. From the sound alone, it was clear that the barrier wouldn't last much longer. Judging by the terrifying murderous aura pouring off Moth, everyone inside would be doomed once it broke free.
And now, their final hope rested on yet another monstrous villain. Just thinking about it was enough to crush any remaining sense of hope.
By now, Chu Liang had arrived outside Immortal Yuan Lu's cell. The Great Devil of the West Sea showed no trace of foundational qi and looked no different from a frail, middle-aged man.
Back then, the Imperial Supervisory Commissioner had crippled his cultivation using the power of the Tai'a Sword. Later, the Celestial Northern Prison used multiple methods to place layer upon layer of restrictions on him.
When he heard Chu Liang ask him to name his price, Immortal Yuan Lu slowly lifted his head, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Help you?" he said, his tone dripping with disdain.
He seemed to have sensed the chaos unfolding outside as well. His tone turned sharp with sarcasm. "Even the so-called unbreachable Celestial Northern Prison is on the verge of collapse? And you've sunk so low that you're asking a prisoner like me for help?"
"These demons came here to revive the Demon God," Chu Liang replied. "You know the Demon God is the master of the Great Dao of Devouring. Once it awakens, all humans, whether righteous or evil, will become its food. That includes you. But if you can help me stall that demon king, even for a short while, you can name your price."
"Whatever I want?" Immortal Yuan Lu let out a cold laugh. "So I can ask to leave this place?"
