The Imprisonment Jail is a labyrinth of mountains and rivers, layer upon layer. It was built with the help of skilled craftsmen from the Dragon's Kin, who used all the wonders of the Cave Heaven Technique. What Hua Yi and his group saw was only a small part of the prison.
The terrain here is treacherous; a slight misstep could send you tumbling into a bottomless abyss. If you were to fall into the Frozen Prison or the Scorching Prison, even if you didn't die from the fall, you would be frozen in the deep, solid ice or burned to ashes by the scorching flames.
The further down you go, the more dangerous it becomes, and the more heinous the crimes of the prisoners.
According to Xueyi's idea, the Astral Express will mainly visit the shallow area, and at most stop at the middle level.
The bottom of the Netherworld is not a place one can easily traverse. The mysterious mechanisms along the way are formidable barriers that will not be easily activated. Even the Judge of the Ten Lords Bureau, who are familiar with the path, would need quite some time to pass through.
Therefore, the idea that "many Foxian are gathering at the bottom" is definitely not a normal situation.
"Stop!"
Xueyi secretly gripped the iron chain and the Demon-Slaying Cone at her waist, blocking the way for several sneaky Foxian.
Who are you?
"... The clerk of the Ten Lords Bureau is ordered to investigate the serious criminal Hoolay. Please do not obstruct Lord Judge."
The Sinful Prisoner Hoolay is the leader of the Buli Ren and the Nest Father among the Abundance fiend. He is the Great Enemy of the Foxians. Based on the intelligence held by the Xianzhou Alliance alone, he launched more than two thousand large-scale wars of aggression, causing countless planets to weep.
Since the previous Sword Master defeated Hoolay, the Ten Lords Bureau, for their cruelty and tyranny and the countless atrocities they committed, have sentenced them to the bottom of the Imprisonment Jail, to suffer the punishment of the Eternal Sword Tree Punishment until the end of time, with no mercy.
The atrocities he committed could stop a child from crying, and Xueyi, as Judge of the Ten Lords Bureau, was also aware of another horrifying truth.
Centuries have passed, Imprisonment Jail has never allowed Hoolay to eat or be fed, yet he still lives despite the hunger.
The vitality of the Abundance fiend is well known in the Xianzhou Alliance, but most Buli Ren who suffer the Eternal Sword Tree Punishment cannot survive more than three days. Hoolay, however, can recover immediately after being pierced by the sword fragments, and this has always been the case over the long years.
Clang!
Xueyi remained expressionless as she held an iron chain that pressed down on the Foxian who called themselves scribes.
" Your Lord Judge, why are you attacking us and harming our colleagues without cause? Are you disregarding the laws of the Ten Lords Bureau?"
"A serious criminal like Hoolay, even with an imperial edict, can only be inspected under the guidance of a judge. Clerks have absolutely no right to investigate without authorization—surrender now!"
"Damn it!!"
Seeing that they could no longer hide it, the fear on the Foxian's faces disappeared, replaced by madness and bloodlust. The illusory skin created by the magic potion was torn apart from the inside, revealing the beast heads. Long wolf howls echoed through the space, sending a message to their kin.
" Buli Ren?"
Xueyi originally planned to use iron chains to bind the clerk and capture all the suspicious Foxian, but when she saw their distinctive and ferocious beast heads and heard their fierce howls, she immediately reached out with her right hand and grabbed the Demon-Slaying Cone.
The change was from capturing to killing the enemy.
Buli Ren brandished his claws and fangs, lunging at Xueyi, and wolf poison began to spread.
That is a pheromone unique to the Buli Ren. It is one of their tools for hunting across the myriad worlds. It can make living beings fear facing their natural enemies, fall into extreme weakness, and become unable to even hold their weapons, turning them into lambs to the slaughter.
This is not something that can be easily resisted.
Even though Xueyi was already on the path of destiny and was a judge, she still felt a sense of weakness when the blood mist approached her.
The puppet's body was not supposed to have any emotions; it was the Machinery Organs of the Five Viscera Gods that were hindered and became disordered under the influence of wolfsbane.
Buli Ren infiltrates the Imprisonment Jail, disguises himself as Foxian using unknown methods, and learns about the prison's mechanisms. Given the urgency of the situation, Xueyi decides to end the battle as quickly as possible.
With a surge of strength, the Demon-Slaying Cone and Iron Chain attacked relentlessly, aiming to cleave Buli Ren's head.
This is a fighting style that trades injuries for injuries.
She was not originally a person of the mortal world; she only remained in the Puppet Body through the body of a puppet to carry out the duties of a judge. Even if she lost an arm and a leg under the attack of Buli Ren, she could simply change bodies after the battle was over.
It's all worthwhile as long as we can use the Jade Abacus as soon as possible to spread the word about the Buli Ren's invasion.
" [Preservation] here."
Suddenly, Amber brilliance shone brightly, radiating outwards from Hua Yi, who had raised his lance, and spreading to a distant place beyond the sight of Xueyi.
What she could see was that she was covered by a layer of afterglow.
Her years of experience in combat and capture honed her skills, allowing the girl to move without hesitation. With a sweeping motion, she decapitated the oncoming Buli Ren.
They still only attack and never defend.
At the same time, the claws were already upon her, about to cut the Xueyi -white clothes in half, but the moment they touched the Amber brilliance, they only made a metallic sound and failed to harm the girl in the slightest.
They successfully killed the enemy without injuring anyone.
Before she could thank Hua Yi, she immediately took out the Jade Abacus.
" Buli Ren disguised himself as Foxian and invaded the Imprisonment Jail. All military officers should remain on high alert and capture any suspicious persons. Those who violently resist should be killed on the spot."
"Yes!"
" Your Lord Judge, the Imprisonment Jail has lost contact with the outside world. We were attacked, but suddenly Amber Barrier protected us, seemingly the power of the Sky-Mending God."
"We are the same here, blessed by the God of Fate."
" The Buli Ren in the vicinity have been killed! All the clerks of the Record Keeping Hall are safe and sound."
" The Company Mechs that were delivered to the Imprisonment Jail earlier went berserk without any power. The situation is strange. I have already suppressed them. Please be careful, sister."
He blessed the entire Imprisonment Jail?!
What kind of methods are these...?
Xueyi spoke rapidly, hastily ordering the military officers and Buli Ren's attack and to find a way to re-establish contact with the outside world. Then she spoke to Hua Yi.
" The Imprisonment Jail is in turmoil. Thank you for your help, but I am Puppet Body and cannot be considered a living person. You do not need to protect me. Save your strength to break out."
"The Buli Ren; they're already trapped."
Wielding the Supreme Guardian's lance, Hua Yi completed a simulation of the fates of several Supreme Guardian, including Alisaland, stirring up Preservation. While safeguarding the people of the Imprisonment Jail, he continued the epic of Belobog, using the real-world consequences to construct the cause of their continued existence.
"The matter is already clear. Buli Ren wants to help their leader Hoolay, escape. Miss Xueyi, would you be willing to take us to the bottom of the Imprisonment Jail? The Astral Express is willing to stand on Xianzhou Luofu's side in this chaos."
"Since you can use the power of [Preservation]... have you confirmed the identity of your companions beforehand? Buli Ren can disguise himself as Foxian, so perhaps he can also impersonate the Nameless."
"I've confirmed it; they're all our own people."
"—In this urgent situation, please follow me."
Chapter 338 Buli War Leader, Hoolay.
Azure Bird clear the way, Hellfire illuminate the path.
At the bottom of the Imprisonment Jail, the Buli Ren had already arrived. The elite hunters gathered here were densely packed. If you include those who were hindered by various traps along the way, and those who disguised themselves as Foxian and scattered to attack the Netherworld Scribe and Guard, the number of Buli Ren infiltrated the prison is unimaginable.
Amidst the swirling ghostly flames, before the prison gates where the notorious criminal Hoolay was imprisoned, Buli Ren revealed his ferocious Wolf of the Hunt nature, completely abandoning any pretense.
Two of the Buli Ren a glance, and without further communication or hesitation, they got down on all fours and headed straight for the prison gate.
Then, from inside came strange sounds of flesh breaking apart, and chewing sounds.
The Buli Ren offered themselves as food to the Nest Father, who had Sword Tree Punishment for hundreds of years.
With its broad and robust skeleton, well-developed canines forming fangs, and sharp claws that have torn apart countless lives, when the giant wolf walks out of the prison gates, the Buli Ren as if they are seeing their faith, howling and prostrating themselves before it.
"It's been a long time, War Chief. We've come to welcome you back to your nest!"
"How many times has Qingqiu rotated since the last hunt?"
Hoolay looked down at the pack of wolves.
"You little brat Du Lan! Tell me your name!"
"Great Hulei Khan, enemy of the Foxian, hunter of all beings. My name Medu, merely a lowly Strategist Official in the Rhinoceros Hound Pack, perhaps one of the most insignificant offspring of your bloodline. It has been at least seven hundred years since you last led my people across the starry seas in your hunting grounds."
"Seven hundred years... It seems you have a plan to escape. So tell me, what should you do next to leave this enormous Sky-Faring Vessel?"
Under the watchful eyes of the leader and the Nest Father, the Buli Ren trembled with excitement as wolf poison spread rampantly at the bottom of the prison, threatening to turn the Imprisonment Jail into a hunting ground.
"My brothers and I will seal the prison doors and trap the guards inside, giving us a brief respite. Then, our disguised brothers will prepare boats for your escape. According to the plan, we will have a total of two hours to leave here."
"A reckless and foolish plan! Even with a boat, our chances of escaping are far less than the chances of the Foxian escaping my claws!"
"We have no choice but to save you. An angel of the Lord of Longevity once said that only your return can end the Buli Ren."
"The angels of the Lord of Longevity? Aren't they Dulan Bloodline? In the days I was away, what kind of depravity have you all fallen into? If you can choose a new Lord, why do you need to welcome me back!"
" Hulei Khan, we... we..."
That's enough.
Hoolay raised his head and looked at the steps at the bottom of the prison.
There appeared the Netherworld Martial Officers, surrounded by a large number of Prison of Eternal Captivity Guard.
"Weak beasts place their hopes on the Protection of the strong, while powerful beasts will fight their way out! From this point on, you should be hungry wolves baring your fangs, walking among flocks of lambs. Go forth, wherever I go, there will be wolves."
"Lord Nest Father, you have bestowed upon us bones of copper and iron."
"Lord Nest Father, grant us divine power that reaches the heavens!"
The pack of wolves howled, trailing a cloud of blood, and pounced on the soldiers.
Even though this is the Luofu Xianzhou, the [Hunt] headquarters, with the leader here, the wolves can hunt!
Wolfsbane flooded the soldiers 'Netherworld Martial Officers like a torrent, attempting to awaken the deep-seated fear within them, transforming into terrifying illusions that would cause them to lower their weapons and become lambs to the slaughter.
However, the Amber Divine Radiance that blessed the guards isolated them from the wolf poison, protecting them from its harm.
Seeing this, Xueyi couldn't help but give Hua Yi a grateful look again, then her expression turned serious and she spoke in a deep voice.
" Buli War Leader is attempting to flee. Military officers, listen to my order: kill him without mercy!"
"Kill!!"
The Netherworld Martial Officers and Buli Ren clashed, their fighting spirit and killing intent filling the space—it was a fight to the death.
What about me? What about me?
Xing raised his hand to speak, seeking Hua Yi's consent.
Can I go up?
"Now is your time to shine."
So Galactic Baseballer, bat in hand, charged forward. (bici)
Hoolay paid no attention to her, and his sharp wolf eyes did not linger for a moment on the pink-haired girl who was unleashing arrows with an ice bow. Instead, he looked straight at the figure holding the Amber Lance.
He was guarding the battlefield.
Swords, spears, and halberds made by the Luofu Engineering Department pierced through the beast's body, but the wolves' claws and fangs failed to break through the Amber Barrier.
The [Preservation] blesses everyone in the Imprisonment Jail, and no matter how much the Dulan Bloodline tries to tear at them, they cannot be shaken, let alone killed.
Preservation Trailblazer of this level has appeared in the Demon Bow's stronghold?
ridiculous!
Hoolay surveyed the entire scene, and the soldiers were restless and uneasy because of the unyielding Amber brilliance.
"As wolves, we are the creators of fear, not its slaves. If you cannot see the path, I will become the high-hanging Crimson Moon, illuminating its way for you!"
He sensed the mad call of the moon, letting the sharp thorns tear through his flesh, the dark blood dissipating like mist, transforming into an even deeper poison.
He stretched out his arms like a martyr, Buli Wolf Poison —the terrifying pheromones spread with the blood mist, stimulating the senses of the Buli Ren warriors as if possessed by gods and demons.
Give the wolf a dead end, so that it may find its way forward.
They fed the wolves until they died, so that they could have enough to eat.
Those who seek only comfort and security will find nowhere to live; those who fight to the death will live forever!
Unleashing his deepest instincts and awakening memories of the battlefield, Hoolay stomped his foot, shattering the earth and causing the entire prison floor to tremble.
This terrifying power corresponds to extreme strength and speed.
The Hoolay Netherworld Martial Officers, clearing away all obstacles in its path, and heading straight for Hua Yi.
Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings.
The victory in this war did not depend on the soldiers or the wolf pack, but on him and me.
Break through the enemy lines and slay the generals; tear apart this follower of the Amber Spear and the demon bow, and the battle will be won.
Hua Yi watched quietly as the giant wolf approached from afar, stirring up a foul stench that made the hem of his clothes rustle.
The lance, its light shimmering, did not turn; its tip remained firmly planted on the ground.
