There was a familiar aura within this trace.
Chaos Qi!
"For Sister Ling to leave without saying goodbye, it must be something very important. The most likely reason is that the person who came looking for her is of very high status, leaving her with no reason to refuse to go back."
"So what could this be? A family matter of the Chaos Lineage? That's entirely possible! Or perhaps, Sister Ling... is homesick?..."
Xie Feng looked up, his gaze piercing through the clouds and sun, towards the Gate of the Vast Expanse of the Tenth Universe.
He stood Wordless for a long time.
The Land of Chaos.
The 800th floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower is home to many extraordinary prisoners.
Some of them may not necessarily have very high cultivation levels.
They all have one thing in common: they have very powerful backgrounds!
The 890th floor is an unguarded water dungeon.
The water prison was vast, boundless, and as black as an abyss!
The water dungeon was surrounded by walls, and near the walls was a small, protruding hill, with water slightly overflowing it, making it dark and damp.
A man was lying where the mountainside emerged from, where he had been sleeping.
His hair was disheveled and he had a stubble beard.
Black water snakes crawled all over his body, but he didn't even blink.
His red eyes were dull and lifeless, like a soulless shell.
All I could hear was the sound of water rushing across the surface.
He is Xie Yunhao.
Xie Ling and Xie Mu's biological father, a once-unparalleled genius! He was also Xie Xuanyuan's closest brother!
But now, Tianjiao lies in a muddy, watery prison.
Things have changed, but people are no longer the same.
Whoosh!
The chains on the water dungeon gate vibrated.
The next second, the door opened!
Shrinking ripples appeared—a defensive Formation!
Before the Formation could be activated, a beam of silver light swept across, and the Formation was destroyed by a powerful force.
Kong Qiusu's figure appeared outside the prison door!
Because of the extremely powerful defensive Formation, this place is unguarded.
But the Formation couldn't stop Kong Qiusu!
He came by walking on water and landed on a small hill. It was more like a tall, flat rock than a hill, with limited space, only enough for two or three people to move around.
It was extremely damp and dark. Xie Yunhao lay there, emaciated and on the verge of death.
"Senior."
Kong Qiusu half-squatted down and looked at him with concern.
Xie Yunhao remained motionless, his eyes still fixed on the dark, empty space above.
Kong Qiusu said, "Come with me, I'm here to save you."
Xie Yunhao ignored him, and instead slowly turned over and closed his eyes.
His clothes were so dirty that their original color was no longer visible, and they were tattered. Fortunately, the clothes were of good quality and hadn't completely rotted because he was sitting in water.
He turned his back to Kong Qiusu; the flesh on his back was festering and bloody.
This is the result of spending years in a water dungeon!
"I'm Xie Ling's friend. You're in danger. She asked me to rescue you!" Kong Qiusu said in a low but quick voice.
Xie Yunhao remained unmoved.
"I'm sorry, time is tight!"
Helpless, Kong Qiusu had no choice but to use his hand as a knife and slash at Xie Yunhao's neck. Xie Yunhao rolled his eyes and fainted.
He carried Xie Yunhao on his back and left the water prison.
Here, as long as you don't encounter powerful figures like Xie Han or Xie Tu, who are at the Heavenly Emperor level, and you are sufficiently cautious, you can basically come and go as you please.
After Kong Qiusu and the other man left, a blue shadow suddenly drifted past outside the water prison!
Kong Qiusu to the Qingli Realm and found Xie Feng. He saw the horribly mutilated person on Xie Feng's back, and Gu Yu and Ren Yanyu, who were with Xie Feng, were also shocked.
"Holy crap, who is this?!" Gu Yu exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"He's injured and unconscious!" Ren Yanyu said.
"Junior brother, get the medicine! He's been in the water dungeon for a long time; his back is ulcerated, and he probably has joint pain too!"
Kong Qiusu said quickly.
Xie Feng didn't ask anything, and quickly brought over some medicine to treat his injuries.
Kong Qiusu carefully placed Xie Yunhao on the bed, then turned him over so he was lying face down, making it easier to change his dressing.
"Clothing!"
Kong Qiusu took out the medicine bottle, her voice urgent.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu quickly grabbed Xie Yunhao's clothes and took them off.
Kong Qiusu applied the medicine!
Xie Feng frowned slightly and asked, "Senior brother, who is he?"
Xie Yunhao!
"?"
" Xie Ling's father, or rather, your second uncle!"
Kong Qiusu the path.
Xie Feng's expression changed slightly; this was actually his second uncle?!
"Not enough medicine? Get more!"
Kong Qiusu applied the entire bottle of medicine, and the flesh on his back where the medicine was applied gradually formed a scar, but there were still many areas where the medicine was not applied.
Xie Feng found all the healing medicines and pills!
I have to be willing to give it to my second uncle!
"Senior brother, what happened? Why is this happening...?"
" Xie Ling was taken back by the people of the Land of Chaos, but they found out about her relationship with you and have placed her under house arrest. They even plan to go to the Demon-Suppressing Tower to kill her father as a way to intimidate her!"
Why was he in the Demon-Suppressing Tower?
"As far as I know, it's because Xie Yunhao stole the sect leader's secret techniques. Other than that, I know nothing! Now that you've rescued him, settle him in your Jade Pivot Sect first!"
After the ointment was applied, and the wounds on my back had completely healed and formed many scars, the scars fell off automatically, revealing new, intact flesh.
Xie Yunhao's gaunt and weathered face gradually regained some color as his health improved.
"By the way, I heard in the Land of Chaos that this senior is your father's closest brother. It's also because your parents have taken good care of Xie Ling and the others that Xie Ling has been helping you in every way."
Kong Qiusu the path.
Xie Feng stared blankly at the middle-aged man lying on the bed, seemingly talking to himself, "So... he's my second uncle..."
Kong Qiusu said, "His current condition is not optimistic. I observe that there is no pressure within his body, his blood vessels are blocked, and he has no cultivation. He has become a cripple."
"It must have been those people from the Land of Chaos who crippled his cultivation and imprisoned him in the Demon-Suppressing Tower!"
Gu Yu speaks succinctly.
His speculation was not without merit.
"What should we do now?" Gu Yu asked.
"Let him stay here to recuperate. As for Xie Ling, her current status is quite high, and there should be many people in the Land of Chaos who will help her, so there's no need to worry about her for now," Kong Qiusu said.
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow and glanced at his senior brother.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but whenever Xie Ling is involved, this senior brother, who is known for his taciturnity, becomes more talkative than usual.
At this moment, Xie Yunhao, who was lying on the bed, silently opened his eyes.
He weakly reached out and casually tugged at the corner of Gu Yu's robe.
Oh my god!
Caught off guard, the Gu Yu jumped three feet high in fright.
"Hey buddy, why didn't you make a sound when you woke up? It was terrifying in broad daylight!"
He complained.
Xie Yunhao lay blankly on the bed, staring at the sky.
His face was filled with despair and depression.
Like a soulless walking corpse.
