Chapter 2396 I Need Your Help
Liu Yisheng thought carefully: "Right, Shangguan Biao was recommended again by Li Yun and went back to being his master Tang Linzi's disciple. It was two years after that that Zhao Dongyang died."
"Back then, he had already learned to be patient and restrained," He Lingchuan asked. "What kind of supernatural powers did Shangguan Biao cultivate?"
"Every disciple of Changfeng Valley can learn one main divine ability and three auxiliary divine abilities upon entering the sect. When Shangguan Biao became the master of Qufeng Cave, he was in charge of choosing all the divine abilities within the sect. I remember that his most outstanding abilities were the Secret Realm Space and the Soul Sealing Technique. At that time, he had not yet graduated from his apprenticeship. Once, during a competition within the sect, the Secret Realm Space he produced was so realistic that even his mentor, Tang Linzi, could not distinguish it from the real thing and was trapped inside. That's when we discovered that he had a great talent for creating secret realms."
The secret realm is a given, it's Changfeng Valley's forte. "Soul Sealing Technique?"
“Seal the soul within the secret realm.” Liu Yisheng pointed to himself and Li Yun. “This is a unique secret technique of Changfeng Valley, but it was still in the exploration stage until the sect was destroyed. I never thought that the evil one would make it so popular.”
The four instantly understood: "Guardian spirit?"
“Guardian spirits are the controllers of secret realms. They only appear under special conditions. The right time and place are indispensable, and they also need an extremely strong obsession. The conditions for their birth are very strict.” Liu Yisheng smiled bitterly. “But Li Yun and I actually… didn’t want to live from the very beginning, but we are still bound here and cannot break free.”
They were neither the masters of the hidden realm nor did they have any obsessions; their existence in the realm was simply a form of imprisonment and suffering.
“The chains on our bodies are made from the wood of the Juluo tree and the stone of the Earth Mother. They both bind and support us. Otherwise, after being separated from our physical bodies for so long, our souls would have long since been scattered,” Liu Yisheng murmured. “What I used to fear most is now something I can’t have.”
What does he want?
He wanted to see Shangguan Biao fall from power, but he hoped even more that his soul would be scattered and he would no longer have to suffer in this hell!
He Lingchuan glanced at Immortal Ming Ke, and seeing him shake his head, he had nothing more to ask.
"What other intelligence do we absolutely need to know?"
Liu Yisheng said solemnly, "I am no good, nor is Li Yun, but Shangguan Biao is truly wicked and a hundred or a thousand times more vicious than us!"
This was his final defense.
He Lingchuan walked around the screen and forward, leaving only one sentence behind:
"In fact, Shangguan Biao did do a good deed, which was to uproot Changfeng Valley."
The four disappeared behind the screen, walking further and further away.
After gazing at the dilapidated mountain gate outside the screen for a long time, Liu Yisheng finally exhaled a breath of stale air.
Having rarely spoken to living people for thousands of years, he felt a pang of reluctance to part with them.
These people have left, but they will most likely return soon—at least their heads will be brought back by Mother Earth.
The day of liberation seems so far away.
No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than a one-eyed troll slipped back from behind the screen.
It was He Lingchuan who had just left.
"Old Liu, I forgot to ask you something."
"Go ahead and ask." He didn't have anything else to do anyway.
"Is your contract with the Earth Mother still in effect?"
Liu Yisheng paused slightly, then nodded: "The contract is still in effect and has not been terminated to this day."
He still exists, so the contract remains. So many years have passed, and it seems that Shangguan Biao and he have both forgotten about this.
Anyway, Changfeng Valley is long gone, his body has long been destroyed, and the contract is now just a formality.
He Lingchuan readily agreed, "Okay, I need your help."

The Earth Mother Demon Army, which searches the Panlong Secret Realm, only does three things:
Demolish houses, push down walls, set fires.
The Earth Mother has given the order that all buildings within the Panlong Secret Realm should be demolished, until not a single tree remains standing in the city.
There were no plants here; the real fire spewed by the monsters burned fiercely on the buildings, and for a moment, flames soared into the sky, accompanied by loud explosions.
Panlongcheng is once again engulfed in flames.
The Bear King stared at the high wall of the south gate and said in a deep voice, "This wall doesn't seem easy to demolish."
The south gate of Panlong City has withstood countless attacks and years of wind and frost. It is obviously thick and hard. Even if it used its supernatural powers, it might not be able to break it.
The Earth Mother's avatar pointed behind the high wall of the South Gate and asked, "What's missing here? Have you noticed?"
"Huh?" The Bear King quickly shook his head. "No, I don't know."
“Both prisoners said there was a black dragon statue behind this wall. The first time we entered the city, the statue was still on the wall; the second time, it was shattered on the ground.” The Earth Mother didn’t have high hopes for its intelligence. “I ask you, do you see the statue now?”
The Bear King carefully examined the wall, then looked at the square, and shook his head:
"no!"
"Where did the statue go?" Mother Earth chuckled. "The statue of the Black Dragon God must have had some other significance. Its disappearance is suspicious!"
In the late ancient times, the Black Dragon God was recognized as the leader of all immortals. Its image appeared in Panlong City, but then disappeared from the secret realm; such an anomaly is often a hint.
Does the guardian spirit of this secret realm appear in the form of the Black Dragon God? If so—
The Earth Mother grinned grimly; she was determined to bring this guardian spirit back to Jade Capital and treasure it dearly.
The thought of being able to command the Black Dragon God for one's own use is incredibly exciting—even though it's just a figurine that looks very similar.
"Gather all our forces and smash down the south city wall first," Mother Earth ordered. "I have a feeling that the black dragon is most likely hiding inside the city wall."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the two monsters, who were happily setting fire to the alley, were suddenly grabbed by their hind legs and dragged to the ground.
The other monsters saw them being dragged into the burning house.
The demons hurriedly chased after them, but the two monsters had already vanished without a trace.
An eyewitness shouted, "A snake! No, it's a dragon!"
But as soon as it let out a cry, a dark shadow emerged from the thick smoke of the burning ruins around it, bit off its head, and then dragged the headless corpse into the fire.
Now, even more monsters saw its figure:
Its body resembled that of a python, but it was at least ten zhang long.
It has two forked horns on its head, a crocodile's mouth, eagle's claws, and a unicorn's tail.
Although the scales are pure black, they have a metallic sheen when illuminated by firelight.
"Black dragon!"
Just a few breaths later, the Earth Mother's avatar appeared beside the monsters and grabbed them.
"Look closely, is it really a black dragon?"
“It’s absolutely true, we saw it clearly.” A monkey demon pointed to the burning street ahead. “It went into there.”
"Search!" The Earth Mother's clone waved her hand. "All of you, come and surround it! Make sure you find it!"
The Bear King whispered, "Dragon God, can we...can we win?"
Before the Earth Mother's clone could utter a sound, Wolf King Silver Fang cursed, "You idiot, how could that be the real Dragon God! If the real Dragon God came, a hundred of us wouldn't be enough for it to bite!"
