Chapter 745: Like a World Apart
Next, without waiting for Jiang Yun to ask, Guluo revealed a secret they had discovered.
The three of them, except for Fusangzi, had been thrown into Dao Prison from other worlds. They had been in the seventh level of Dao Prison for over a thousand years.
Naturally, they had always been searching for a way to leave Dao Prison. Until they heard rumors about Peach Blossom City and came to this Peach Blossom City.
Because they were all from the demon race, and all had undergone the Demon Transformation, even though on the surface they belonged to three different major powers, in reality, their relationship in secret was good.
This is also why, despite many strong challengers coming to challenge them over the years, they all ultimately failed.
While challengers thought they were challenging just one power, in reality, they were challenging the three Sky Blessed Realms.
In short, after years of exploration and search, they finally discovered a secret place, or rather, an entrance.
They didn’t know where the entrance led to, but the entrance was full of restrictions, and standing outside the entrance, they could feel a faint demonic energy drifting out.
Although this demonic energy was very weak, it made all three of them hesitate.
Because of that evil aura, it should belong to a demon of the Daoxing Realm!
Of course, they couldn’t enter, but what they found made them realize that this demon should be guarding the entrance.
And a place guarded by a Daoxing Realm cultivator is most likely the way out of the Dao Prison!
"Now, Taoist Friend Gu should understand why we need to find a Demon Refiner!"
Guluo and the other two looked at Jiang Yun again, but Jiang Yun frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "Have you ever thought that if that Dao-like demon is not a guard, but a prisoner like us, just imprisoned more thoroughly?"
"Of course we have, but it’s unlikely because there are also Daoxing Realm cultivators within the seven layers of the Dao Prison, all of whom have their freedom."
After a pause, Guluo looked at Xiang Hongchen and said, "Furthermore, Sister Red Dust has a special gift. She can sense that behind that entrance, there is another world!"
Xiang Hongchen smiled faintly, raised her hand, waved lightly, and with a hint of fragrance, her figure disappeared right in front of Jiang Yun’s eyes.
Jiang Yun had seen such magic once before from Dao God Temple Boundary Patroller Yue Qing, when he used it against the Sky Palm.
It’s like transporting yourself to another place in an instant, and even Jiang Yun’s Love and Separation magic has some similarities to it.
Then Xiang Hongchen reappeared and said to Jiang Yun with a smile, "Taoist Friend Gu, whether the demon of the path nature is imprisoned or guarding the place, it shows that the place is unique and worth exploring!"
Guluo continued, "Taoist Friend Gu, we know our thoughts and guesses may be too optimistic and dangerous, but as long as there’s a possibility of leaving, we are willing to try."
"If we fail, we may die, but it’s better than dying in this Dao Prison! If we succeed, we can leave the Dao Prison and return home!"
"We’ve almost figured out how to break the seals, and we believe you, as a Demon Refiner, are the missing piece!"
Fusangzi looked at Jiang Yun and said, "The method Taoist Friend Gu used to immobilize us might be the Demon Refining Technique. If it can also immobilize the demon of the path nature, our journey will be much safer."
At this point, Jiang Yun understood the situation completely and knew their goal in finding a Demon Refiner was to bind the demon of the path nature, allowing them to possibly enter that place and leave the seven layers of the Dao Prison.
Although Jiang Yun wanted to leave, he found the adventure too risky with too many uncertainties.
Most importantly, he didn’t know the three Sky Blessed Realm demons in front of him at all, so he couldn’t tell if they were telling him the truth.
Even with the Soul-Locking Incense in hand, it was impossible to always be on guard against the three Sky Blessed Realm cultivators. If one were to relax even slightly, who knows if they would take the opportunity to strike and kill.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Yun finally spoke, "I need to consider this!"
If Jiang Yun were to agree too eagerly, Guluo and the others would still be suspicious, as this matter is of great importance. Therefore, Jiang Yun’s response was reasonable.
Guluo nodded immediately, saying, "Of course, this matter indeed requires careful consideration!"
"Furthermore, Taoist Friend Gu could stay temporarily in this Peach Blossom City. The environment here is much better compared to the outside world."
"In fact, if Taoist Friend Gu doesn’t mind, you can freely choose one of our three places to stay. We all welcome you."
Before Jiang Yun could speak, the voice of Firebird already sounded in his mind, saying, "Kid, let’s stay here!"
Jiang Yun glared at Firebird irritably. Among the three monsters, Fusangzi was the least compatible with him, yet Firebird insisted on staying here, clearly because of Fusangzi’s request.
Jiang Yun completely ignored Firebird’s message and nodded, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but I’d like to explore this Peach Blossom City!"
Guluo raised his hand and handed Jiang Yun a piece of bamboo about the length of a finger, saying, "With this bamboo, my Taoist friend, you can travel anywhere unhindered."
Jiang Yun didn’t hesitate, he reached out and stood up, saying, "Then I will take my leave!"
"I will see you off!"
Guluo personally opened the door and together with Xiang Hongchen, saw Jiang Yun off from the room.
It was only then that Jiang Yun noticed, this was a very ordinary small courtyard, secluded and clearly not Fusangzi’s real residence.
Stepping out of the courtyard, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
The air here was indeed much cleaner compared to outside, evidently a benefit from the three huge vortex formations in the sky above.
Jiang Yun stretched lazily, ignoring the constant complaints coming from Firebird on his shoulder, and casually chose a direction to wander off to.
Although he didn’t sense being monitored by divine sense, he knew that Guluo and the others must be observing him through other means, to prevent him from leaving without notice.
After all, Jiang Yun knew a big secret of theirs, if it got out, it would bring great disaster to them and to Peach Blossom City.
Soon, Jiang Yun found himself standing on a bustling street, wondering if he had already left Dao Prison.
The last time Jiang Yun saw such a scene was inside the Qing-zhu Desolate World in Mirage.
Since returning to Mountain-Sea World, Jiang Yun had not seen such a peaceful and harmonious scene.
Even though only a decade had passed, it felt like a whole different world for Jiang Yun.
After a moment of daze, Jiang Yun immersed himself in the bustling crowd, reminiscing.
…
Meanwhile, in a secluded courtyard, Guluo and two others sat facing each other. Guluo spoke first, asking, "What do you think?"
Fusangzi touched the wound on his forehead, showing a hint of resentment, saying, "If only we knew how he trapped us, we wouldn’t need him at all!"
