Chapter 13: The Ninth Prison of the Nine Hells!

  Tang Lin picked up the ancient book and flipped it open, only to find that there was no text on the pages, just a blank expanse.

  "This book was obtained by me in a relic." The kitten looked at the ancient book in Tang Lin's hand and said, "There is no text on it, it should be a draft, and the content has not been written yet."

  Tang Lin nodded and said, "Can I take this book away?"

  "No problem." The kitten said gently: "Everything here can be taken away as long as the master likes it."

  Tang Lin looked at the remaining armor and shook his head: "These are not needed, you can keep them for now."

  "Uh-huh." The kitten nodded obediently.

  "Someone should be coming soon." Tang Lin thought for a moment, saying: "If they ask you anything, tell them the truth, but don't reveal my whereabouts."

  "Uh-huh, I know." The kitten nodded seriously.

  Tang Lin felt relieved in his heart, he stood up and said to the kitten: "Then I'll go first, next time I have free time, I will come again."

  "Master, you should come back early, the kitten will keep waiting for you." The kitten said reluctantly.

  Tang Lin didn't dare look into its eyes, turned around and strode towards the outside of the grand hall.

  Leaving the grand hall, Tang Lin unfolded his body technique of "Three Thousand Pure Yang", and his body was like a residual shadow, undulating and flying through the forest, quickly leaving this place and heading towards the outer periphery of the underground cave.

  Roar!

  Along the way, Tang Lin encountered over a dozen monsters and did not use his fist or knife techniques. Instead, he used his quick movements combined with the Golden Eagle Bow he had just obtained to shoot and kill them, practicing his archery skills.

  However, although his marksmanship was astonishing, his shooting technique was still too immature. Sometimes, even when they were gathered within a hundred meters, he would still miss the target, which made Tang Lin feel embarrassed and the demon even more astonished.

  Tang Lin rushed towards the outer perimeter of the underground cave while practicing his shooting skills along the way.

  However, this golden eagle bow really requires too much strength. After using it continuously for a dozen or so times, Tang Lin's arm became sore and painful, as if his meridians had been injured.

  Encountering the rest of the monsters, Tang Lin only used the Black Tooth Battle Knife to quickly resolve them. After walking for not too long, Tang Lin discovered that the monsters attacking from all sides had a cultivation level of only a few hundred years, and he knew that he had arrived at the outer periphery of the underground cave. He immediately crushed the bamboo tube.

  Tang Lin stood still, waiting. A few minutes later, a strong gust of wind came from the jungle, and a robust man stepped on the leaves, displaying extraordinary lightness, floating down towards Tang Lin's position.

  The majestic man saw that Tang Lin was unscathed, and after a moment of stunned silence, he furrowed his brow and said: "Recently, the demon lord has been rampaging, and the underground cave has already been closed. Didn't you receive any hints from the bamboo tube?"

  Tang Lin's expression remained unchanged as he said, "I received the hint, but got lost here. I wanted to find my own way out, but couldn't find the path, so I crushed the bamboo tube."

  "Hmph!" The majestic man's expression was cold and detached, saying: "A genius as arrogant as you will sooner or later lose your life on the battlefield! Follow me, consider yourself lucky to not have encountered the Demon Lord, otherwise you would've been dead already."

  Tang Lin pretended to be nonchalant and said, "What's so great about a demon lord? If I really encounter one, at most I'll just crush the bamboo tube."

  The majestic man sneered and said, "Wait until you really encounter it, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to crush a bamboo tube!" After finishing speaking, he seemed unwilling to say more to Tang Lin, turned around and flew towards the direction they came from, leading the way in front.

  Tang Lin hastily followed behind.

  This majestic man had a fiery temper and couldn't stand arrogant geniuses. At this moment, he intentionally wanted to suppress Tang Lin's sharp aura, displaying eighty percent of his lightness skill, flying swiftly through the treetops like an eagle, with a speed that was astonishingly fast.

  However, Tang Lin's speed had also increased significantly since his power surge. With both feet pushing off, although he couldn't borrow force from the fine leaves on the treetops to fly forward, he stepped on the branches and charged forward, agile like a monkey, his speed not slowing down in the slightest as he closely followed behind the majestic man.

  The majestic man was astonished in his heart, never expecting Tang Lin to have such a rapid movement at such a young age. His attitude towards Tang Lin warmed up a lot, and he no longer intentionally made things difficult for him, slowing down his pace to lead the way ahead.

  Two people walked together in silence.

  Tang Lin was pleased and relaxed, if he showed humility, this majestic man would appreciate himself more, and would say a few more words to himself, at that time it was inevitable to ask some questions, although he could avoid lying, but lies were told too much, there would always be times when people detected them.

  The best approach is to say nothing at all.

  Soon, the two arrived at a clearing on the outskirts of the underground cave. Tang Lin remembered that this was the same clearing where he had first entered the underground cave. The majestic man landed on the ground and took out a whistle from his pocket, putting it to his mouth and blowing once.

  The whistle had an eerie sound, with a certain resonance.

  "Alright." The majestic man looked at Tang Lin and said, "I've already had someone open the stone gate. Take a few steps forward, that's the spatial passageway of the stone gate, you can go back now."

  Tang Lin looked ahead of himself, and there was no change around him, but he still keenly sensed that in the void three feet in front of him, it seemed to ripple like water, distorting slightly.

  Tang Lin went there.

  Whoosh!

  His body was enveloped by a strange and mysterious power, Tang Lin's eyes blurred for a moment, and he appeared outside the stone gate.

  ……

  Purple Palace.

  The little cat, after seeing off Tang Lin, put away all the treasures and regained its queen-like calmness on its face, with elegance and dignity, reclining on the golden throne, admiring its slender fingers.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Outside the palace, two strong gusts of wind swept by.

  Only two sixty-year-old men appeared outside the palace, although they were over fifty years old, their skin was ruddy and full, with a sharp light flashing in their eyes, and their bodies were filled with a strong and resolute spirit.

  The two of them walked into the palace.

  Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong immediately retreated in fright to one side.

  "Cat demon!" The old man in the green robe on the left looked at the kitten and said coldly, "The Red Building Master had previously decreed that you are not allowed to leave the core area. You have disobeyed orders. We have come to enforce the law on his behalf. Are you going to take action yourself or should we do it?"

  The little cat elegantly raised its head, with a hint of smile in its eyes, and gently looked at the two old men, saying: "What law are you two here to enforce?"

  "How dare you, you wicked creature!" The old man in the red robe on the right side shouted loudly, his powerful voice seeming to shake the palace itself. "You're about to die and yet you still want to use your evil magic to deceive people's hearts! Our Red Mansion Master is kind and compassionate, originally intending to sentence you to death, but since this is your first offense, we will only punish you by making you enter the 'Nine Hells Demon Prison' to face the wall for a hundred years. If there's a next time, you'll be executed immediately!"

  "Nine Prisons Demon Jail?" A hint of fear flashed in the kitten's eyes, and it immediately looked at the two old men with pleading eyes, saying: "That place is full of ferocious demons and evil spirits. If I'm locked up there, I'm afraid that within a hundred years, I'll be eaten to the bone."

  "Hmph!" The old man in green robes said coldly: "Don't say any more, three days later, we will come to take you to the Nine Prisons of the Demon Jail."

  The little cat's teeth lightly bit her lip, looking pitifully at the two elders.

  The two old men were resolute in their minds, snorted coldly, and turned away with a flick of their sleeves.

  As soon as the two left, the kitten's expression immediately turned cold, gritted its teeth and said: "Damn the Red Mansion Master, this Nine Prisons Demon Prison is holding all the rare great demons in the world. Putting me in here isn't trying to take my life?"

  "Master." Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong looked at the kitten.

  "Listen up." The cat said coldly, "Once I leave, there will definitely be a new monster taking my place. I allow you to try your best to fawn over it. If you see my master arrive, remember to pass on the message that after a hundred years, I will return!"

  "Master, you must come back alive!"

  Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong were reluctant to part with them, although they feared the kitten, but if they had a new master, who knows how much worse they would be treated.

  "I will definitely do it." The kitten's eyes flickered with a cold and determined light.

  ……

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The old man in the green robe and the old man in the red robe flew back and forth among the treetops, and whenever a monster saw them along the way, it immediately fled, apparently recognizing the two.

  "The landlord is really something, actually letting this demon off." The old man in green robes said with a hint of resentment.

  The old man in red robes smiled lightly and said, "This cat demon is a rare Jiuli cat demon. The master of the building was born to love talent and didn't want to kill it directly. Moreover, although this cat demon has committed a great taboo, these disciples have gained a lot from it. In the future, when they practice here, they will also be more cautious."

  The old man in the green robe remained silent.

  ……

  Outside the stone gate, there is a square.

  The originally bustling square had only a few people at this moment. Tang Lin's sudden appearance did not attract much attention.

  Tang Lin didn't linger and directly headed towards the Battle Achievement Exchange Building.

  "Let's go take a look first, and see what can be bought with the battle points." Arriving at the Battle Points Exchange Building, Tang Lin didn't rush to exchange them, but instead went to one side of the building. There was a bookshelf here, on which many lists were inserted upside down.

  Tang Lin took a rough glance.

  "Top Ten Battle Achievements List."

  "List of 100 Battle Achievements."

  "List of 1000 Battle Achievements."

  "List of 10,000 Battle Achievements."

  The list above is in decimal form, Tang Lin was curious and picked up a "1,000 Battle Merit Points List".

  "Dragon Fire Fruit, 120 combat points! Effect: Rich in spiritual energy, nourishing for a hundred years, capable of tempering bones and increasing strength by over a thousand pounds."

  "Dragon Emblem Alpha, 250 Battle Points!"

  "Dragon Symbol Armor, a treasure of the ancient ruins, can penetrate into the body and form a thin membrane on the surface to protect any position other than the eyes, ears, and mouth. Ordinary fine iron weapons cannot cause even half an injury."

  "Tempering Chamber, one battle achievement point every day!"

  "The Refining Chamber, a relic of the ancient Dofu, where one day's cultivation is equivalent to ten days' worth outside."
