Chapter 296 - 199: Only Hate That I'm Not Crazy Enough_2
"I don't believe you!"
Yun Lin, who seemed to have heard this kind of talk too many times, answered without hesitation and seized the opportunity to make a request.
"Unless you bring me to tour all three levels, I will absolutely refuse to believe that the Ten Thousand Demon Nation only has three levels!"
"Believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?"
Xiao Yi was so annoyed that he threw his sleeve and sneered.
"Young Master Xiao, I am confused about something and would like to ask for your guidance!"
Seeing these two arguing meant he likely couldn't ask what he wanted, so Feng Qing'an decided to interrupt them.
"Young Master Feng, please feel free to ask any question. As long as it does not involve the secrets of the Xiao family, I will definitely answer honestly!"
Xiao Yi was quite polite to Feng Qing'an. The speculation regarding his elder brother's identity has always been a matter of debate within the Xiao family, but one thing that everyone agrees on is that his elder brother is at least a reincarnation of a heavenly being.
As for the younger brother standing before him, he could also be a similar existence. Therefore, even though the Xiao family has a heritage that can be passed down for thousands of years, they still treat a suspected reincarnated heavenly being with utmost respect.
However, while he's respectful, he would honestly answer what he could, and wouldn't utter a word about what he can't.
"This place is a sacred place for the Demon Clan. The environment of this place, even its resources, and certainly its spiritual qi, are all significantly different from the outside world and entirely geared towards the Demon Clan. Why did this place get chosen as the prison for the Demon Clan?"
Feng Qing'an voiced his doubts that had just arisen. Remodeling a blessed land of the Demon Clan to imprison the Demon Clan, can that really be considered as the Ten Thousand Demon prison? Is this not a suicidal act? Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Now they had just entered the blessed land; he's unfamiliar with the other aspects, but he knew one thing: this place recognized as a blessed land is actually the Ten Thousand Demon Nation located in a broken Cave Sky, where Emperor flowing liquid periodically descended.
Now they had just entered the blessed land; he's unfamiliar with the other aspects, but he knew one thing: this place recognized as a blessed land is actually the Ten Thousand Demon Nation located in a broken Cave Sky, where Emperor flowing liquid periodically descended.
This natural wonder of the essence of sun and moon coalescing would generate a large number of demons. Ordinary grass underfoot, even a small stone, would change into fairly powerful spirits under the nourishment of Emperor flowing liquid.
If even the weeds and stones could be, then those ghost creatures that had already matured wouldn't be an exception. Under the nourishment of the Emperor flowing liquid, the strength of the ghost creatures would only skyrocket, with no other changes occurring.
"Hehe, Mr. Feng, what you didn't know is that in the Ten Thousand Demon Prison, be it above or below, seventy-two Demon Suppression Halls have been built. So, even if this place was once a blessed land for the Demon Clan, or even a Cave Sky if they were locked in, they would prefer death over life!"
Yun Lin jumped in with an answer again, but after finishing, he didn't forget to add,
"These are things that I heard from my grandfather. I just heard that there's another level of the Ten Thousand Demon Prison with Demon Suppression Halls to prevent the monsters from rebelling, but I have never been there and don't know the exact situation!"
"You're here spouting nonsense about things you have never seen!"
Xiao Yi glared at him. If looks could kill, Yun Lin would have been riddled with holes under his gaze.
"How is it nonsense? These are words from my grandfather. How could there be any mistakes? If you think something is wrong with what I said, then point it out!"
Yun Lin fought back, but this kind of crude provocation didn't work on Xiao Yi,
"The purpose of the Demon Suppression Hall is not to prevent monsters from rebelling, there are other methods to limit them!"
"What methods?"
"No comment!"
Xiao Yi responded coldly.
"Does your Xiao family cooperate with the Da Jin dynasty?"
Feng Qing'an asked, he didn't believe that such a prominent family had such a sense of responsibility that they would take on the task of subduing demons voluntarily. There must be some kind of incentive or profit exchange.
He truly struggled to envision that a highborn aristocrat, such as the one he was facing, could traverse mountains and valleys to capture demons and throw them into his territory.
"Yes!"
Being transparent about the public messages intended for the privileged class, Xiao Yi certainly would not keep any secrets from the individual before him.
"Our Xiao Family has reached an agreement with the Luo Family. We are responsible for detaining and suppressing some ghost creatures and demons that for various reasons cannot be killed or eliminated on the spot!"
"What kind of reasons? The need to tread carefully around demon ghosts?"
Feng Qing'an scowled. Hearing such words made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Young Master Feng, not everyone can be like you, acting recklessly. In the past millennium, there was only one person who could replicate your audacious behavior, your brother!"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh. He also had the same question when he was young. But as he got older and experienced more of the world, he understood why.
If an ordinary water ghost or fish demon causes harm to the villagers and is discovered, it is naturally executed on the spot without a second option. But what if it is a perpetrator of a natural disaster who has a special background or identity?
The son of a Mountain Lord or the daughter of a water god, these second-generation deities possessing inherent divine power could easily wipe out a village. They are such a headache to deal with, even if captured, that letting them go would harm Da Jin's dignity. However, if they were executed on the spot and then upset the Earth Spirits, what should be done? Should they indeed wage war and destroy temples?
Da Jin could afford the loss of one or two, but if all the mountains and rivers were involved, then they would have collapsed halfway through this war, therefore, they could only make a compromise - not to kill but not to release them either, just throw them into Ten Thousand Demon Prison.
"Mr. Feng, your brother is like a Godsend. We brothers admire him a lot. Because of your brother's massacre three years ago, many exquisite beauties in the Ten Thousand Demon Prison lost their strong backers, so they were moved to the top layer. This made us brothers immensely enjoy ourselves!"
When it came to this topic, Yun Lin was all geared up. Feng Qing'an shifted his gaze to him, waiting for him to continue.
"One has left a deep impression on me; she was the younger daughter of the mountain god of Crouching Tiger Mountain. She was detained here because she enjoyed consuming the blood of male humans, causing disaster to more than a dozen villages at the foothills. Many people had to spend much effort and time before they caught her.
Unfortunately, they were too cowardly to hurt her because she had a good father protecting her. So, they threw her into the Xiao Family's Ten Thousand Demon Prison. However, this little tigress didn't feel accomplished for long as she ran into your elder brother and ended up getting chopped down by his sword. I heard that when her corpse was found, it was so rotten that only her bones were left!"
While discussing this topic, Yun Lin's face revealed unrestrained satisfaction and pride.
"Since then, this little tigress has lost her protection, and although she should have been ruthlessly punished, it would have been too easy just to kill her for her crime. Hence, the Xiao Family moved her up and let her serve clients. Me and my brothers were her first patrons. We applied all sorts of cruel methods to deal with her. At first, the tigress was still fierce. But now, she turns into a weeping kitten at the sight of a human, which is rather boring!"
"...You seem quite delighted?"
Feng Qing'an's mouth twitched a bit. He had no intention of commenting on this matter.
He had no sympathy for the daughter of a mountain god. Being tormented by a group of upstart prodigal sons, her miserable life was deserved.
"Of course, but it's a pity, there are only two or three goddesses, and the majority that were captured are males. I don't have the taste for the opposite, unlike those guys who don't mind anything. "
Yun Lin's face displayed a hint of regret. He hated that he wasn't perverted enough. Otherwise, regardless of whether they were goddesses or gods, he could play with more than a dozen. However, for those creatures with scales and horns, he simply could not arouse any interest.
"..."
Feng Qing'an had a deeper understanding of the licentious aristocrats of Da Jin. It would be best to distance himself from these individuals once he left this place; he could not accompany them in their antics.
"By the way, Mr. Feng, there are some powerful individuals with significant backgrounds locked up beneath the Ten Thousand Demon Prison. Both Da Jin and the Xiao Family are afraid to touch them. If you're interested, you could have a taste. Do you want to try?"
The regretful Yun Lin suddenly thought of something. His eyes sparkled as they met with Feng Qing'an. Their intimidating backgrounds were insignificant before this man.
If Feng Qing'an was willing to entertain himself with a goddess, then Yun Lin could witness it on the side. Not to mention, he would have bragging rights for half a year afterward.
As a notorious prodigal son of Fengtian City, his biggest interest was to mount those who acted haughty in front of the Human Race and watch as their faces displayed despair and pleas for mercy. There was nothing more exciting than this.
