In a shadow, watching the giant Borisin attacking the guards of the Shackling Prison, opening cell after cell, and dragging out the prisoners inside to devour their flesh and blood, Hanya tightly gripped the command flag in her hand, her eyes filled with terror.
"Hanya, get a grip! Don't be a disgrace," Tail said to Hanya angrily.
Why are you so weak? Even if the enemy is… a little bit strong, you don't have to be so scared.
Tail had wanted to sound tougher, but looking at Fenghuang's terrifying appearance outside, it didn't dare to speak too harshly. Fenghuang's strength was too high; he was among the strongest below the Emanator level. Even if the great General Jing Yuan were here himself, he might not be able to guarantee victory against this terrifying Borisin.
How did such a strong enemy get out?
Seeing the situation, Xueyi said to Hanya, "You stay here. I'll go find a way to leave the Shackling Prison and notify the guards outside. In this situation, we must notify the General to have any chance of quelling this."
"Lady Xueyi, it's very dangerous outside!" Hanya said to Xueyi with some worry.
Xueyi continued to walk forward.
"Don't worry, I'm very experienced in this area. Besides, my body is made of a puppet. Even if it's really destroyed, it can be repaired in the Ten-Lords Commission."
"Okay…" Hanya nodded with tears in her eyes, watching Xueyi leave.
After Xueyi left, Hanya asked the tail behind her, "Lord Tail, what should we do next?"
"Do? Naturally, we do as that judge said and obediently wait here," Tail said in an annoyed tone.
Hanya quickly nodded.
While Hanya was hiding, Tail didn't forget to complain, "If it weren't for you being so weak, we wouldn't be in this situation."
"Lord Tail, even at your full strength, you wouldn't be able to beat that Borisin, would you?" Hanya said softly to Tail.
"Hey! You little brat, can't you say something nice for a change!" Hearing Hanya's retort, Tail immediately shouted in a low, dissatisfied voice.
Even if it's the truth, don't say it out loud! Don't I, Lord Tail, have any face to keep?
"Oh." Faced with Lord Tail's intimidation, Hanya fell silent.
Feixiao's movements inflicted deep, bone-visible wounds on his arms. Although his strength was great, it was still far from Feixiao's.
Zhaofu looked down and found a long spear stuck in his body.
There's someone else?
His gaze turned and saw a handsome youth in white clothes, holding a greatsword, walking in slowly.
Well, well, luckily I came in time, otherwise a prisoner really would have slipped out.
Derick thought to himself, looking at Zhaofu.
To prevent Feixiao from missing anyone, Jing Yuan had notified Derick to come over as well. So, Derick, having just finished his battle with the Stellaron Hunters, had also rushed over to the Shackling Prison.
Down below, that Fenghuang is probably about to fight my teacher. He is definitely no match for her. And after being defeated by my teacher, he'll probably be even more devastated.
To be defeated by a Foxian he had always looked down upon… it would be a huge blow to him.
"Now that I've returned to the Borisin tribe, am I supposed to become the leader of these wild dogs?" he said to Ahema.
Ahema knew what Fenghuang was thinking. Not being a Borisin, he was no longer worthy of calling Fenghuang 'War-pride.'
Borisin, Foxians, Xianzhou people… none of that matters. I, Ahema, only like to do business.
"There is the Crimson Moon here."
"You are not worthy of the Crimson Moon's blessing. But I will not kill you. Get out, you whelp. From now on, you are no longer a Borisin. Whatever you want to do, just don't do it under the name of the Borisin. Don't tarnish the reputation of our clan."
Being exiled… this feels… great!
Ahema tried his best not to laugh out loud.
After throwing Ahema aside, Fenghuang headed towards the lower levels of the Shackling Prison.
The current Borisin were no longer usable. If he wanted to continue the glory of the Borisin, he had to create new ones.
And the Crimson Moon was the key. As long as he had it, he could transform Foxians into Borisin. There were many Foxians in the Xianzhou Alliance. Fenghuang was now eager to transform them into Borisin.
It's just a pity that I'm on the Luofu, and not on the Yaoqing. Over there, even weak Foxians can form a decent fighting force. If I could transform them into Borisin, that would be the kind of whelps I'd be truly satisfied with.
Fenghuang thought to himself.
He walked down and began to open one cell after another.
The prisoners on the upper levels had no ability to resist before Fenghuang. After opening the cells, he would grab them and begin to feast.
He was thinking, When the time comes, I should probably give the Crimson Moon to my teacher, right? With my knowledge, could I get some benefits and help my teacher out?
He knew how much his actions went against Fenghuang's will.
Fenghuang angrily threw Ahema against the wall.
"Whelp, tell me what you know about the Borisin. If what you say satisfies me, I might spare your life."
"Yes, yes…" Ahema nodded repeatedly, then told him everything he knew about the Borisin.
He had never thought that after his capture, the Borisin would have fallen into such a state.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, only worthy of gnawing on the bones left by others.
Then, he felt his body being thrown to the side.
"Get lost, whelp. Do whatever you want, just don't say you're a Borisin anymore," Fenghuang said to Ahema.
"Thank you, War-pride… no, Chief Fenghuang."
Ahema was about to continue saying 'War-pride,' but seeing Fenghuang's eyes, he immediately corrected himself.
If I'm exiled from the Borisin tribe, can my sentence be reduced? Will I have a chance to leave this Shackling Prison in the future?
He walked down, and the prisoners below were all great enemies of the Xianzhou, unable to be devoured by him. So he just released them and told them where the exit of the prison was, letting them escape on their own.
Although the released enemies were also vicious, none of them were stupid. Now that they were all major criminals of the Xianzhou, what they wanted was to escape this damn place as soon as possible.
"Hmph, another one slipped through the net." Fenghuang lunged at Xueyi. She sensed the force coming from behind her. She turned her head to dodge, but her movements were too slow compared to Fenghuang's. So before she could make a move to dodge, her entire body was hit by his claw.
The puppet body instantly shattered into pieces, its various parts scattering.
"So it's a puppet body?" Fenghuang shook his head, preparing to attack Xueyi again to completely extinguish her life force.
Just as Fenghuang was about to step forward, a huge body suddenly fell from the sky.
Fenghuang remembered his name was Mingdian, one of the legion commanders of the Wingweavers. His strength was also quite good. How did he fall down?
Could the defense of the Shackling Prison already be this strong!?
And just at that moment, a few more high-profile criminals who had just escaped from prison fell from above.
What's going on!?
And at that moment, another cyan mass of air crashed down beside him.
This time, it wasn't a prisoner.
The Sky-Shattering General of the Xianzhou Yaoqing, Feixiao, had arrived.
The powerful force and aura made Fenghuang, who was just about to kill Xueyi, shudder and retreat to the side.
Feixiao appeared before him, holding dual blades.
Fenghuang couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"A Foxian? You!"
Fenghuang was both surprised and angry.
He had anticipated that powerful people from the Xianzhou would come, but for it to be a Foxian… Fenghuang was a bit surprised.
In his mind, Foxians were like slaves. But the imposing Xianzhou general before him… you're telling me she's a Foxian?
Fenghuang's mind flashed back to the intel he had gotten from Ahema.
"You're that Foxian general from the Yaoqing!?"
"That's right. I am the general of the Yaoqing, Feixiao. Fenghuang, seven hundred years ago, I wasn't born yet, so I didn't have the chance to defeat you myself. Now, let me see how much strength the War-pride of the Borisin has."
As Feixiao spoke, the cyan aura around her automatically formed a gust of wind, making her trench coat billow.
Phantylia's sudden attack on the Shackling Prison was indeed beyond the expectations of Jing Yuan, Feixiao, and the others. But since they had always known that the person she was impersonating was Tingyun, discovering that Phantylia had gone to the prison was an easy matter.
Knowing that she might release major criminals to interfere with the Luofu, Jing Yuan and the others had planned to go and suppress the situation immediately. And at that time, Feixiao had volunteered to come here.
Having watched Derick, Yunli, and Yanqing fight, Feixiao's hands had long been itching. Now seeing that the people in the prison were about to escape, and with so many strong enemies present, of course, she had to act.
Arriving at the entrance of the prison, the prisoners wanted to escape. Because they had been imprisoned for a long time, their condition was generally not good. In addition, they hadn't reached the level of an Emanator. Facing the attack of the Yaoqing's General Feixiao, they couldn't put up much resistance before being cut down or knocked to the ground.
The situation was critical now, so there was no time to worry about whether they could be re-imprisoned. Those who could be killed were killed as much as possible.
She saw all the way to the deepest part of the prison, where she saw the former War-pride of the Borisin, Fenghuang, wreaking havoc. Whether it was because of the hatred of the Foxian race as a whole for the Borisin, or her anger at her own past life as a battle slave, she rushed in front of him, preparing to take him down.
"Foxians have always been the slaves of the Borisin."
Fenghuang roared and pounced at Feixiao. Even though he knew the person before him was a Xianzhou general, he would not admit defeat.
The force of his pounce was much greater than when he had attacked Xueyi, but Feixiao just pointed her right-hand blade forward and met his claw head-on.
Feixiao didn't retreat a single step, while Fenghuang's body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the wall.
Without giving him time to breathe, Feixiao quickly stepped forward.
The cyan light blades slashed out one after another. Fenghuang tried his best to resist, but he found that his eyes couldn't keep up with Feixiao's movements at all.
At the entrance of the Shackling Prison, a centaur-shaped Denizen of Abundance from the Huina clan saw Feixiao enter the lower levels and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
That terrifying woman has gone down. I can find a chance to escape.
He was Zhaofu, a Denizen of the Huina clan and an executor of Hui. He had committed multiple crimes of aggressive warfare in the past.
After being arrested, he had been very cooperative. But in his heart, he had always been looking for a chance to escape.
This time, Fenghuang opening the cells of the Shackling Prison was exactly what he wanted. And, unlike those other prisoners, he was very cautious and didn't swagger out of the prison.
"It seems I was right." Looking at his fellow inmates who had fallen, Zhaofu couldn't help but feel fortunate for his foresight.
Now to find a chance to escape!
Zhaofu thought to himself, then prepared to rush outside.
The Huina clan was extremely fast. Seeing the broken prison gate, he charged out with great strides.
Finally leaving the Shackling Prison! I can see the blue sky!
Zhaofu thought to himself.
Then, he felt a huge force suddenly hit his abdomen. His entire body involuntarily flew back into the prison.
Huh!?
What happened?
