These elders probably looked down on Shi Zhenxiang usually. When they heard the princess's words, they couldn't help but glance at Shi Zhenxiang, with a hint of guilt and gratitude in their eyes.
"Oh, I'm just an errand boy. The two of them are the ones who really contribute."
Shi Zhenxiang was a little embarrassed and quickly pointed at me and the Xudu Ghost General.
"If you want to thank you, thank them!"
The elders then bowed their heads respectfully and bowed to me and General Xudugui.
"Mr. Corpse Demon, General Xudu, your life-saving grace will be unforgettable!"
"If you are called in the future, please feel free to give me orders. Our fish demon tribe will never refuse!"
I waved my hands and said, "The elders spoke harshly. We couldn't stand the actions of Young Master Juexin, so we decided to take action."
"Without further ado, let's get out of here quickly."
The elders also knew that this was no place for leisure, so they nodded and followed us to leave the underground grotto.
But just after taking two steps, another painful murmur came faintly.
This is already the deepest part of the cave. Apart from a cave wall, there is no other hiding place. Where did the sound just come from?
"Except for a few elders, is anyone else in your fish demon tribe imprisoned here?"
I turned back to the fish demon princess and asked.
"No."
The fish demon princess also looked puzzled: "As far as I know, except for the five elders, no one else in our fish demon tribe is imprisoned."
It seemed that the fish demon princess did not know much about it, so I asked the five elders: "How many elders do you know about it?"
"We don't know much about this either."
The great elder shook his head: "Except for a few of us, there don't seem to be any other prisoners in this grotto."
"only……"
At this point, the great elder changed his subject: "Ever since we were imprisoned, we can hear bursts of painful murmurs every day. We don't know where they come from."
"At first we thought there were other people being held here, but when we tried to communicate with that voice, we couldn't get any response, so we had no choice but to give up."
I nodded slightly and closed my eyes, trying to determine the source.
The sound was intermittent and very suppressed, as if it was trapped in a small space.
I felt the sound carefully, kept moving forward, and soon reached the cave wall.
I put my ear against the wall of the cave, and the sound suddenly grew louder, as if it was right next to my ear.
It seems that there is something else going on inside this cave wall!
"Brother Xudu, it's up to you."
I pointed to the middle of the cave wall and said to the empty-belly ghost general.
The weak-belly ghost immediately understood, drew out the ghost-headed knife, and slashed horizontally towards the cave wall.
The black sword light hit the cave wall, making loud noises, and the entire cave trembled slightly, as if it would collapse at any time.
The Void Belly Ghost gritted his teeth and swung a dozen knives in succession. Finally, with a roar, a small hole was cut out of the cave wall.
After peeling away the surrounding rock formations, the cave entrance gradually expanded, and soon, the scene inside was clearly displayed in front of us.
This is a very small cave, only about two square meters at most. There is a cage made of unknown material inside, which takes up almost the entire space of the cave.
Around the cage, black energy was lingering, and there were black arcs flashing. It seemed to be some kind of reaction caused by the fusion of Yin energy and the material of the cage.
Inside the cage, an old man was sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. After seeing us coming in, he opened his eyes instantly.
A ray of light suddenly bloomed from his cloudy eyes, which was breathtaking!
This old man has silver hair and wears a shabby black robe. Although he looks very old, the look in his eyes just now is enough to make people conclude that this old man is definitely an ordinary person!
Staring at the old man, I felt more and more that the old man's appearance was somewhat familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere not long ago.
"Brother Corpse Demon, this person is the Lord of Yin-Yang City, the King of Yin-Yang!"
Just when I was thinking hard about where I had seen this old man, the weak-belly ghost general suddenly spoke to me softly.
What?
Is this old man Yin Yang Dharma King?
Didn't he go to recuperate outside Yin Yang City? Why was he imprisoned here?
Just when I was secretly frightened, the old man suddenly stood up, his face flashing with excitement that could not be concealed.
"Outsiders, no matter who you are, as long as you rescue me, I will grant you any request!"
Although the Void Belly Ghost General had already told me the identity of the old man, for the sake of safety, I decided to test it out first.
"You're an old man, you don't have a soft tone. What can you promise us?"
I deliberately put on an expression of disbelief and said to the old man.
"I am the master of Yin-Yang City. It was my unfilial son who designed to imprison me here. If you can help me get out, after I regain my rights, you can take in the resources of the entire Yin-Yang City at will!"
The old man said to me excitedly.
"Well, I still have to think about it..."
I dragged my chin and still said in a questioning tone.
"I...I am really the Lord of Yin Yang City, and I definitely did not deceive you!"
The old man was anxious and grabbed the outer frame of the cage with both hands, looking anxious.
Suddenly, the flashing arc of electricity outside the cage struck directly at the old man.
The old man suddenly let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground. Black gas came out of his body, and the arc of electricity was still rapidly moving around him, jumping continuously!
After a while, the electric arc gradually disappeared. The old man struggled to get up, and his soul had become a little hollow.
Only then did I realize that the arc flashing outside the cage was specially designed to prevent the old man from escaping.
As long as the old man's body comes into contact with the outer frame of the cage, the arc will attack instantly, completely giving up his desire to escape.
"This cage is made of ten-thousand-year-old soul wood. It is extremely strong. In order to prevent me from escaping, that unfilial son even attracted lightning from the endless wilderness from the depths of the underworld. Haha, what a sin!"
The old man looked dejected and said mockingly.
"So, you are really the Yin Yang Dharma King, and he is determined to imprison you?"
The old man nodded and said, "That's right. I never imagined that this unfilial son would be so cruel. I accidentally fell into his trap and ended up like this!"
"If I could regain control of Yin Yang City, I would cut this unfilial son into pieces!"
I asked in confusion: "If you are really the Yin-Yang Dharma King, even if you are extremely cunning, you cannot be trapped so easily, right?"
King Yin Yang sighed: "Yes, in Yin Yang City, no one is my opponent, but behind that unfilial son, there is a powerful helper!"
