“Who are you?”

Ao Cheng knitted his brows and Jiang Xiaobai, on the side, also moved closer to ask, “Do you know him?”

“I don’t know jack shit about him. He’s someone locked up in Dragon Valley’s death prison. Why the hell would I know him?” Ao Cheng said with annoyance.

At this moment, the figure in the shadow stood up. Simultaneously, the scraping sound of chains sliding along the ground could be heard.

Clank!

The chains scraping along the ground seemed to have been yanked tight, stretching taut before letting out a sharp noise.

The thin, frail figure froze in his place, still within the shadow. Although he was shrouded in darkness, one could vaguely make out his outline.

He was incredibly thin, about as skeletal as a man could be.

A chill instantly spread through Jiang Xiaobai’s heart and he didn’t need light to picture the repugnant figure in his mind.

Certainly ghastly looking.

“Ah, so many years have passed without any movement. I almost forgot about this dog collar chained onto me.”

The emaciated man laughed lightly, “Come, let me see what you look like, kid.

See if you resemble that old man Ao Wan.”

The stench in his breath hit the men with anxiety.

Ao Cheng instinctively swallowed his saliva.

His gut told him that the man before him was far from benign. Going up to him rashly would surely spell trouble.

So he shook his head. He did not advance forwards, but instead took a few steps backward until he was leaning against the large prison door.

“Huh, is Ao Wan’s bastard so gutless? You don’t have even one-tenth of your father’s spunk. When I see your father someday, I’ll definitely tell him to give you a good beating.” The thin figure said, sneering.

Ao Cheng’s face turned red with anger, but he made no other move.

“Who are you, and how do you know so much?” Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes.

“Want to know?”

“If you want to know, then come closer. Let me tell you in detail.” The hoarse voice in the dark was truly hair-raising.

Jiang Xiaobai frowned, and actually stepped forward.

“Are you out of your mind? Going up to him is seeking death!” Ao Cheng shouted urgently, wishing to stop him, but Jiang Xiaobai did not pay heed.

In just a few steps, he was at the edge of the shadow. He could even feel the breathing of the man before him, rustling his hair.

Suddenly, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the darkness.

Clank!

The chains stretched taut again, letting out a creepy roar.

Regardless, the emaciated figure remained stuck in his place. Seeing this, Ao Cheng finally let down his guard and cautiously approached Jiang Xiaobai.

“Old man, are you a friend or foe of Dragon Valley? What crimes have you committed that you’re chained here?” Ao Cheng asked curiously.

“Hmph, the son of Dragon Valley’s lord has less courage than a Qi refining beginner!”

The thin figure sneered continuously, “As for your question, the answer is both.”

“Both!”

Ao Cheng gasped, his eyes wide as saucers as if he’d thought of something,

“You…are you that…’who’?”

“Heh, remembered now?”

The hoarse voice carried a touch of self-mockery, “In just the span of a hundred years, the people of Dragon Valley have forgotten about me.” Scrape.

At this moment, a flame emerged. Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t stand the eerie atmosphere anymore and used his spiritual power to create a small spark.

When he saw the sight before him, he was instantly taken aback, his scalp tingling in fear.

He saw an emaciated old man, bound by nine thick chains that were as thick as his own forearm.

What’s more, parts of the old man’s body, like his shoulders, hips, and legs, were all pierced by the chains, keeping him firmly locked in place.

“This…this is the Dragon Chain, a divine artifact of Dragon Valley. A treasure rumored to possess a trace of the divine power of a celestial artifact!” Ao Cheng suddenly exclaimed, “They used this thing to bind you!”

“Heh, that’s nothing.”

The old man lightly laughed, “Do you know how many years I’ve been locked up here?”

“Not much, just 125 years.” Gulp!

Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng instinctively swallowed their saliva.

Gazing at the old man’s chained figure, both felt their scalps tingle in fear.

Good grief, he’s been locked up like this for 125 years?

You should know that those chains went right through his flesh, and those wounds haven’t healed in over a hundred years!

Enduring this kind of pain for over a hundred years, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t dare imagine.

“Who on earth is he to be locked up like this?”

Jiang Xiaobai lifted his eyebrow, “Even if there’s such a deep hatred, wouldn’t it be finished if he was just killed?”

“Hatred?”

Suddenly, a wave of fury and insanity spread across the old man’s face, “What does hatred matter when all of them want to devour my flesh and smash my bones?”

“Leaving an old man like me here is merely a form of punishment.” “Punishment for what?” Jiang Xiaobai instinctively asked.

“Punishment for his betrayal of Dragon Valley, leading to the loss of its foundation and a great fall from its status!”

At this moment, Ao Cheng suddenly opened his mouth.

“You know about this?”

Jiang Xiaobai was startled and turned his head. He saw shock written all over

Ao Cheng’s face, “Ao Cangtian, is that your name? Is it really you?”

“Haha, after so many years, you’re the first to call me by my name.”

Ao Cangtian broke into laughter, “Ah, if you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten my own name!”

“So you are indeed Ao Cangtian!”

In a sudden bout of extreme rage, Ao Cheng tightened his fists, “You son of a bitch! Without your collusion with the ancient clans leading to such losses for Dragon Valley, how could it have turned into what it is now!”

Buzz!

Jiang Xiaobai’s mind was instantly filled with shock.

He had an inkling of Dragon Valley’s history before. In the old days, Dragon Valley was the supreme overlord of the entire Eastern Region, unparalleled!

But then, due to some unknown incident, it morphed into what it is now.

Jiang Xiaobai never would have thought that it was because of someone’s collusion with the ancient clans.

“What are you so excited about?”

Ao Cangtian chuckled, “It’s all said and done. Even if you kill me, what difference does it make?”

“Besides, can you kill me?”

“Hmph, you’re just a dog tied up with chains. How could I, a young master, not kill you?” Ao Cheng retorted angrily, raising his hand to throw a punch.

Jiang Xiaobai saw this and wanted to stop him, but he was too late.

He saw Ao Cangtian’s messy hair transform into hundreds of sharp blades, directly thrusting towards Ao Cheng. For a split second, Jiang Xiaobai thought Ao Cheng was done for.

Surprisingly, the strands of hair merely entwined around Ao Cheng’s fist. Then, they threw him out.

Thrown fiercely onto the wall, Ao Cheng coughed up a mouthful of blood. “Now you tell me, do you have the ability to kill me?”

Ao Cangtian kept on sneering, “Even your father didn’t have this ability, how could you?”

“Maybe your grandpa has a little chance, but you, you can’t.”

After saying this with a cold scoff, Ao Cangtian sat down on the ground.

He raised his head, his blood-red eyes staring straight at Jiang Xiaobai. His gaze was enough to make Jiang Xiaobai’s scalp tingle and his body shiver.

“You come here, I have a question for you..”
