Chapter 1270 - 604: Subduing Deng Ze
Chapter 1270 - 604: Subduing Deng Ze
"How long does Liang plan to keep us locked up?"
"Damn it, this place is so dark and hopeless, it’d be better if he just killed me outright."
"What do you all think he’s trying to achieve?"
"I don’t care what he’s trying to do, I just wish he’d show his face—kill or torture, just say something! I can’t stand this godforsaken place anymore."
"Damn it, I knew it wouldn’t be simple for Liang to come back from that Dark Attribute Floating Island, yet Lin Tianci, that bastard, fooled us!"
The speaker should be an expert from the Earth Mother Sect, currently cursing the already deceased Lin Tianci.
On the Water God Sect side, several shadows sat on the ground, looking listless.
One of the figures was already languid, appearing lifeless.
"Is there really no way out?" Wen Fang sighed and asked.
A woman beside her spoke softly, "I tried. This place is filled with dark energy. Although my light energy can drive away some of it, there’s no way to break through this Shadow World."
"Why? Yan Yiqiao, you are a Light Attribute Superpower User!" Wen Fang couldn’t help but say.
Yan Yiqiao, who was cultivated by the Water God Sect to be the key to breaking the dark energy on the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, also got drawn into the Shadow World after Liang Yuan attacked Miyuan Rainforest.
Yan Yiqiao was truly unlucky.
She wasn’t highly valued in the Water God Sect because she wasn’t a Water Attribute Superpower User.
As a Light Attribute Superpower User, she hadn’t found the light-mutant beast’s essence blood to refine a Genetic Species.
Even though she trained hard, she was stuck at 50 Points in her Main Attribute, never daring to condense a Genetic Species.
Because she couldn’t form a Genetic Species, she wasn’t qualified to enter Miyuan Rainforest and lived a tough life on Denggong Mountain.
For survival, she had to hunt mutant beasts or dive underwater to catch mutant fish.
She nearly lost her life several times, yet due to being brainwashed by the Water God Sect over time, she held no grievances against them.
Eventually, her light superpower proved helpful for breaking the Dark Attribute Floating Island, and she was brought into Miyuan Rainforest by top brass from the Water God Sect.
Just as they prepared to advance her cultivation, Liang Yuan invaded.
She barely enjoyed any benefits before Liang Yuan consumed her into the Shadow World.
Here, she still had the chance to be released by Liang Yuan, work in the outside world, and join Yangshan with ordinary superpower users.
But Yan Yiqiao repeatedly used her light superpower to try breaking the Shadow World.
This naturally didn’t escape Liang Yuan’s notice, so he particularly targeted Yan Yiqiao, keeping her in the Shadow World.
Now, within the Shadow World, Yan Yiqiao had exhausted her superpower and was entirely helpless.
This left Wen Fang, Deng Ze, and others, who had placed their hopes on her, feeling desperate.
Only Deng Ze’s weak voice was heard, "No hope left, absolutely none."
Wen Fang looked at Deng Ze and couldn’t help but ask, "Deng Ze, why has Liang kept you here for so long? What does he want?"
Deng Ze responded weakly, "He wants me to guide him, lead him to Miyuan Rainforest."
"Didn’t you agree?" Wen Fang asked.
Deng Ze was speechless, "I thought your skills could save me."
Wen Fang was momentarily speechless, then sighed, "The Tidal Brain was crushed by him, and Liang Long is dead—you overestimated us."
He then said, "Luckily, this is a two-dimensional Shadow World. If it were three, we might have died of thirst and hunger long ago."
Deng Ze glanced at him, "Do you think that’s a good thing?"
"What?"
"After being here for a month or two, you’ll wish you were dead."
Deng Ze’s tone was filled with despair.
He knew what it was like when he was previously trapped here, when no one answered his cries.
The surroundings were dark, and a day felt like a century.
At that time, he truly desired death.
But in this Shadow World, no three-dimensional matter exists—he didn’t feel hunger or thirst, nor had the ability to end his life.
Like a consciousness drifting in a dark space, the sense of nothingness drove him to insanity.
Only when these people were caught by Liang Yuan did he gradually recover.
Communicating with them helped him regain some normalcy.
Especially when his old friends from the Water God Sect were caught.
He unexpectedly felt some happiness; at least someone was here with him.
At least he had someone to talk to, preventing the isolation that led to thoughts of death.
Upon hearing this, Wen Fang suddenly felt chills.
He dared not imagine spending the rest of his life in this dark, hopeless place.
Others overheard their conversation and felt a shiver run down their spines.
They hadn’t forgotten how miserable the Heavy Water Priest from the Water God Sect was when he first arrived.
Just then, a figure appeared above the group.
Liang Yuan’s voice was heard, "Oh, Deng Ze, have you figured it out?"
Deng Ze suddenly looked up and saw the figure, immediately standing excitedly, "Liang Yuan!"
"Hm? What did you call me?"
"Liang, Mr. Liang!" Deng Ze quickly corrected himself, eager, "Mr. Liang, what do you need me to do? Just say the word, as long as you let me out, I will follow your orders."
"I’ll do anything you ask, truly."
Liang Yuan laughed, knowing that anyone, trapped in this place without daylight for so long, would collapse.
It’s known that the military has a way to punish soldiers called solitary confinement, also known as the dark room.
No matter how tough a soldier is, once they’ve entered the dark room and been locked up for a few days, they’ll behave obediently afterward.
Compared to that so-called dark room, the shadow world created by Liang Yuan’s Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth is far more terrifying.
In here, there’s truly no light at all.
Deng Ze was locked here for almost two months; if his Spiritual Attribute wasn’t high enough, he would have completely collapsed by now.
So at this moment, he’s the first among the group to surrender.
Liang Yuan laughed: "Haha, it seems you’ve truly had a change of heart."
"Yes, yes, I’ve thought it through, Mr. Liang, I’ve really thought it through."
"I am willing to serve you faithfully, wherever you go, I will lead the way."
Deng Ze was quite obedient; joking aside, this man wiped out the Water God Sect, and the Miyuan Rainforest is in his hands.
What does Deng Ze have to worry about anymore?
Simply surrendering was his best option.
At least when the Water God Sect existed, he hadn’t surrendered and joined the enemy.
In his heart, he comforted himself.
Liang Yuan said, "Very good, I’m pleased you’ve come to this realization, come with me."
Deng Ze was suddenly overjoyed; he couldn’t believe Liang Yuan was really going to release him.
He disregarded everything else and immediately ran towards Liang Yuan.
This scene instantly unsettled the others.
Wu Wen Fang couldn’t help but shout: "Mr. Liang, I also wish to join you and serve faithfully!"
People from the Earth Mother Sect urgently spoke up too.
"Mr. Liang, spare us, we know we’ve made mistakes."
"Mr. Liang, please be lenient, and spare us. Whatever you need, we can do as well."
"Mr. Liang, I have vast management experience in the logistics of the Yellow Earth Divine Origin for the Earth Mother Sect. Spare me, and I can create more value for you."
"Mr. Liang, I am the leader of the Earthwalkers, and I know many secrets of the Yellow Earth Divine Origin."
"Mr. Liang, I am the leader of the Green Speakers, and I have great talent and potential in the field of cultivation..."
Begging voices continually echoed, yet Liang Yuan remained unmoved.
Because deep down, these people might not truly be begging.
They were just cursing him a moment ago.
"Haha, you all need not beg so quickly; I heard you clearly just now, your resentment towards me runs deep, and someone even cursed me."
"No hurry, I believe you should further temper your temperament, continue staying here."
Saying this, Liang Yuan ignored them and turned to leave with Deng Ze.
However, at that moment, a shadow dashed forward, shouting angrily, "Son of a bitch, Liang, I’m going to fight you!"
Before the person could get close, Deng Ze immediately stood out, and the two shadows collided, yet passed through each other without causing any harm.
The figure rushed to Liang Yuan, but his Spiritual Power surged, quickly transforming into a telekinetic arc, frenziedly striking at Liang Yuan.
The man turned out to be a Spirit Ability User, and had been lurking all this time without consuming his Spiritual Energy.
He was waiting for this moment to assassinate him.
Liang Yuan merely chuckled lightly, shaking his head: "What a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, an even more terrifying spiritual force suddenly swept out!
Bang!
The two spiritual energies collided with a roar, the shadow shuddered instantly, and in the next moment, the telekinetic arc was directly obliterated.
The shadow instantly weakened.
"No, impossible, you’re a Dark Attribute Superpower User, how can you have such strong Spiritual Power?"
He cried out in fear.
But in the next moment, Liang Yuan flicked a finger.
Poof!
With a strange noise, the figure vanished completely, devoured by the Dark Attribute energy.
Liang Yuan glanced at the remaining figures and said, "See, among you, there are still many who refuse to submit."
"No matter, we’ll play slowly, haha."
Liang Yuan laughed and vanished into the Shadow World with Deng Ze.
When the remaining people realized, they instantly began cursing the person who had ambushed Liang Yuan.
At the same time, some angrily cursed Liang Yuan to die.
Clearly, these people truly hadn’t completely surrendered.
Wu Wen Fang felt despair in his heart; after spending so much time with Deng Ze, he sensed that Deng Ze was genuinely and thoroughly disciplined by Liang Yuan.
Comparing himself to Deng Ze, his Combat Power was not as good as Deng Ze’s, did he have any hope left?
There were so many of them trapped here, but not a single one could revolt against Liang Yuan.
Judging by Liang Yuan’s methods earlier, killing them would be unbelievably easy.
He panicked for a moment.
