Jiang Lin looked at Jingliu, who was afflicted by the Mara-Struck, and fell into contemplation… (Come, someone, show the picture!)
And just at that moment… “Jing Yuanyuan~ Master must have scared you just now~ Let Master give you a hug, don’t cry~”
Jingliu’s voice, like that of a cute young girl, rang out.
She ran towards Jing Yuan… Jing Yuan’s golden pupils instantly widened.
This scene directly startled Jing Yuan, who was frozen in place.
And so… “Yanqing, I have something to do; please take care of your grand-master first…”
Saying that, without waiting for Yanqing’s reply, he directly slipped away and disappeared from the spot… Yanqing: “Huh?”
Yanqing stared blankly at the vanished Jing Yuan… It was the first time he had seen his General so flustered.
But, not long after… “Mmm… Jiang Lin… mmm… Sir, please think of… a solution?”
Yanqing struggled to break free from Jingliu’s grasp, asking Jiang Lin for help with slurred words.
Jiang Lin pondered… It seemed the proportions were off?
He looked at the farce over there, then thought about his formula… “It seems I need to improve it…”
Then, he looked at the two people who were currently chasing each other.
Well, Dan Heng had already quietly left at some unknown point.
And so, two minutes later, Jingliu lay on the ground, asleep.
“Take her away; she should be fine when she wakes up.”
Jiang Lin said to Yanqing.
“Phew~”
Yanqing let out a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn’t ask the Cloud Knights for help and carried Jingliu on his own back.
“Thank you for helping out just now, Mr. Jiang Lin.”
Before leaving, Yanqing didn’t forget to thank Jiang Lin for his timely assistance.
After the two figures disappeared… “They’ve left. Are you still going to hide?”
Jiang Lin looked towards a hidden corner.
“Haha, as expected, I can’t hide it from you…”
Jing Yuan walked out of the corner, speaking with a smile on his face.
However, Jing Yuan then asked with a serious expression:
“Just now… could that be the miraculous elixir you developed, Mr. Jiang Lin, that can alleviate the Mara-Struck?”
“That’s right, I call it the revival pill 1.0. You see, the effect is immediate, isn’t it?”
Jiang Lin replied calmly.
“Indeed, there are no symptoms of the Mara-Struck anymore, but isn’t this side effect a bit…”
Jing Yuan hesitated to speak:
“Hmm, I will improve it next. Here, I’ll give you another one. Take it back to your Dan Ding Division for analysis, so you don’t have to worry.”
As Jiang Lin spoke, he somehow produced another revival pill 1.0 and handed it to Jing Yuan.
“Hahaha, what are you talking about? Jing Yuan naturally trusts Mr. Jiang Lin very much.”
Although he said that, Jing Yuan took the pill without hesitation.
Then he added:
“Consider it as Mr. Jiang Lin’s assurance left with Jing Yuan.”
“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”
Jiang Lin didn’t care for his official rhetoric and left the Linyuan Border directly.
But Jing Yuan suddenly spoke again:
“The alliance on Hu Lei’s side is ready; you can go to the Cloister of Imprisonment anytime…”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin’s eyes lit up, and he left even faster.
But before he left, he also conveniently took “a little bit” of material from the fallen Blade.
This made Jing Yuan’s eyelids twitch… ————
After Jiang Lin left, he immediately headed towards the Cloister of Imprisonment… In a short while.
“I want to see Hu Lei; please announce me.”
Jiang Lin calmly said to a Cloud Knight guarding the Cloister of Imprisonment.
“You are… Mr. Jiang Lin? I will go and inform the escorting envoy immediately…”
After the Cloud Knight recognized Jiang Lin’s identity, his expression instantly became serious.
Such a major matter was beyond his ability to handle.
He then went aside to contact his superiors.
Without waiting long, a team of Cloud Knights approached Jiang Lin.
Without much communication, they escorted him into the Cloister of Imprisonment.
After passing through a tunnel made of flowing water, Jiang Lin entered a very dark and eerie environment.
“If you are ready, I shall open the prison gate.”
The escorting envoy asked Jiang Lin, who was behind him.
“Hmm.”
Then, under the escorting envoy’s operation, the prison gate slowly opened.
“Please enter.”
Upon stepping into the Cloister of Imprisonment, the environment inside immediately piqued Jiang Lin’s interest.
Looking down from above, countless prison cells spread out like a dense honeycomb, disappearing into the unseen darkness.
Jiang Lin secretly guessed that at least 300,000 criminals could be imprisoned here.
And this might only be one corner of the Cloister of Imprisonment.
Moreover, thick iron chains were everywhere, giving a very oppressive feeling.
Then, a short-haired woman with exquisite features and an extraordinary temperament walked towards Jiang Lin.
“Guest, you have waited long. My name is Xue Yi; I am here by order of the Ten-Lords Commission, Lock Division.”
“Jiang Lin, I am here to collect the reward the alliance promised me.”
“This matter has been approved, and I shall be your guide on this journey.”
After confirming there were no discrepancies, Xue Yi continued:
“The prisoner Hu Lei is the battle leader of the Buli People, a prey of the Abundance, the progenitor, and a great enemy of the Foxian people.
He is responsible for 2123 consecutive invasion wars and their associated crimes, as well as his brutal and violent acts, which caused countless deaths.
He is sentenced to the bottom of the Cloister of Imprisonment, to suffer the punishment of the Interminable Sword Tree until the heavens and earth are annihilated, never to be pardoned.”
Jiang Lin listened silently, while Xue Yi stopped and looked at Jiang Lin.
“Few guests visit the Cloister of Imprisonment without interrupting me…”
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said, “Guests who visit the Cloister of Imprisonment… should be very few to begin with, right?”
Xue Yi nodded undeniably, then continued to speak voluminously about Hu Lei… Jiang Lin listened, nodding slightly and occasionally agreeing with a few words.
“Hu Lei is indeed very special… Hmm, what you said is very useful information to me.”
After some time, Xue Yi seemed to realize that she couldn’t finish speaking by herself, and it would also waste the guest’s time.
So, she simply took out a small booklet and a pill.
“These are the precautions needed when meeting Hu Lei, and this can prevent Wolfbane.”
After making thorough preparations, the two began to walk downwards.
Soon, they reached the cell where Hu Lei was imprisoned.
Hu Lei’s screams were deafening.
“Is he being tortured?”
“Yes, at this time, it should have just begun.”
Jiang Lin nodded, his gaze passing through the door and falling directly on the huge monster.
After observing for a while, he nodded.
His gaze was fixed directly on its chest, because there lay his goal for this trip—the crimson moon, handed down by the ancestors of the Buli People!
