Chapter 465: Beast Prison
Chapter 465 Beast Prison
He hesitated a little in his heart, and Li Yang had no choice but to hint that the old man surnamed Lan agreed to the request of the eldest prince. This person could tell at a glance that he was a clever person. At this moment, he didn't say anything, but Li Yang could feel that when Li Xiaoran looked at the dull face of the old man surnamed Lan, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. If he refused again, it would be possible that he might see some clues if he didn't do it well.
"Since that's the case, then your highness will come together even if he is subordinate."
Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded, then took a few steps quickly, walking side by side with the old man named Lan. The latter subconsciously fell behind half a step and just followed him.
"By the way, Mr. Lan, I heard a loud shout near the Dragon City not long ago. I heard that the sound should be what Mr. Lan, you are doing. I wonder what happened?" Li Xiaoran turned his head slightly and smiled.
Old Lan nodded, his tone was still so respectful, and said, "Yes, I just discovered a peak king beast. I thought an enemy had sneaked in secret, but in fact it was just a wild phantom beast that passed by here."
Li Xiaoran stared at Old Lan's face for a moment, then nodded with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Seeing this person like this, Li Yang couldn't figure it out. He was worried that the other party would make any mistakes if he continued to ask, so he controlled Mr. Lan to change the topic.
"Why is your highness so leisurely today? You have time to come to visit your subordinates in Wolong City. But the subordinates are too sudden. If you had known him before, how could you chase the wild illusion beast?"
"What's there to be busy with? Old Lan, you are not an outsider. If you have anything to say, Xiaoran will not turn around and beat him up." Li Xiaoran smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "In fact, my situation is far from as relaxed as it seems on the surface. Whether it is the second or third brother, there is still hope to replace me as the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"Oh, what do you mean?" asked the old man named Lan with a little puzzled voice.
"You also know that although I am the eldest son of my father, and you have seen the performance over the years. Although I dare not say it is perfect, I am stronger than other younger brothers. But I have a fatal flaw, that is, I am not the biological son of the Queen of the West Palace, but I am just a palace maid who was occasionally lucky. It's not a big deal when my father was young, but as my younger brothers gradually grew up, the Queen of the West Palace's oppression on me, the eldest prince is getting heavier. Although the Queen of the West Palace is now in her prime, according to common sense, the position of the crown prince should have been set long ago. But now you have also seen that the position of the crown prince has never been determined, which shows that the father has many plans in his heart."
"The elders are abolished and the young are afraid of being in the least, and the worst is that they are beyond the rules. With the wise wisdom of Your Majesty, you should not do such a thing." The old man surnamed Lan frowned. Although he was very afraid of his words, he could also hear a hint of resentment.
"The empress's clan is powerful, and there are countless root systems in the court and states. It has a great influence. Even the father has to pay attention to it. Although the father likes me, he cannot directly disobey the queen's clan's opinions. After all, there are too many things involved." Li Xiaoran glanced at Old Lan with a faint look, and continued: "But I can't rely entirely on the father. I will never give up any of the opportunities I can get."
Hearing this, Li Yang fully understood. The eldest prince made an excuse to visit the old man named Lan, not as idle as he said, or wanted to watch strange beasts for fun. In fact, he came to win over the support of the old man named Lan. As the peak king beast warrior, the old man named Lan was extremely powerful, and even in the Tang Dynasty court, he would probably have a place. If he could get the support of this person, then the eldest prince could really add a bargaining chip to seize the throne.
As for the past so much that he missed the past, Li Yang speculated that he might have deliberately played the family affection card for this purpose.
Li Yang was not interested in such a chaotic relationship within the royal family. His purpose was very clear, which was to rescue the phantom beasts of the Li family and then leave here far away.
Old Lan also supported the eldest prince in his heart, and Li Yang did not need to risk making Old Lan wake up in advance to disobey his wishes, so he expressed his loyalty to the eldest prince.
But both of them are sensitive to identity, so they naturally cannot express such words in public. However, after they were determined, they clearly understood each other's feelings after a few words that were like a mystery. Since then, the smile on Li Xiaoran's face became brighter and brighter.
The conversation between the two was just a few words. When the two of them finished their communication, they had already arrived at the depths of the beast prison. In front of them, a brightly lit passage appeared, which was slanted towards the depths of the ground. The steps were densely packed and could not see the end at all.
Obviously, all the phantom beasts were imprisoned deep underground. Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, Li Yang quietly looked at Li Xiaoran, and a hint of anxiety arose in his heart, and he secretly shouted: "Your purpose of winning over people has been achieved. Now go home quickly..."
However, Li Xiaoran seemed to be able to sense Li Yang's thoughts and did not follow Li Yang's wishes everywhere. It seemed that because of a big event in his heart, the eldest prince was really interested in the beast prison and walked downstairs with Old Lan like this.
Seeing this scene, Li Yang suddenly calmed down, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "I originally wanted to spare your life because I didn't want to have too many troubles, but I can't blame me for seeking death like this."
Obviously, Li Yang had already murdered the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Just an ordinary human being, if Li Yang wants to kill him, it would be very effortless. If it weren't for the other party's identity as a prince, Li Yang was worried that he would wear something like protective warning, so that his identity would be revealed instantly after killing the other party. Then how could Li Yang care about killing more humans?
Old Lan and Li Xiaoran naturally didn't know what Li Yang was thinking at this moment, and they were still chatting with each other with a relaxed face.
As the time for soul parasitization gradually decreased, the two Lan finally reached the end of the stairs. What appeared here was an extremely huge spacious space, with countless steel buildings arranged vertically and horizontally. Even Li Yang could not see the end of the iron cage at a glance.
These iron cages are big and small, but the smallest ones are more than five meters high. As for the larger ones, there are even more than a hundred meters square.
No matter how big or small, the iron cages are arranged neatly and orderly. On the road between the iron cages, there are many warriors wearing standard armor constantly patrolling the phantom beasts in the iron cages.
"Sir, the phantom beasts of the Li family are detained at this level." After entering this place, Old Lan immediately sent a voice to Li Yang.
"Okay, take me here." Li Yang's tone was calm, but his murderous intent gradually rose. Since his goal was about to be achieved, it should be time for the old man surnamed Lan and the eldest prince who came to die to completely solve it.
"Hey, Old Lan? The phantom beasts imprisoned on the first floor of this beast prison are just below the king beast level. What's so good about here? Wouldn't it be better to go to the second or third floor?" Li Xiaoran looked at another underground passage not far ahead, and then looked at Old Lan who had already walked to the side. Although his expression was still smiling, there was a deep confusion and doubt in his eyes.
Li Yang frowned secretly, and his murderous intent was even better in his heart, but Li Yang was cautious in nature. At this moment, he was not willing to make trouble, so he had to be patient and instruct Old Lan to deal with it.
"Oh, Your Highness doesn't know anything. I heard that a group of phantom beasts had just been imprisoned in this beast prison not long ago. Although the level is very low, its species are extremely rare. I have lived so old, but I have never seen it before. So today I came here to see it." The old man surnamed Lan was a little strange. After thinking about it, he said in this way.
Li Xiaoran's expression changed for the first time, and he frowned slightly, and then walked towards Old Lan.
"Old Lan, why do I feel that something is wrong with you today? Could it be that you were hurt when chasing the wild phantom beast?" Li Xiaoran asked seriously after coming to Old Lan.
"Wild Phantom Beast..." After hearing this, Old Lan became silent, and his face kept thinking and said for a few seconds later: "It's okay, thank you for your concern."
After all, that kind of tacit understanding that cannot be explained has just been established. Even if Li Xiaoran has any doubts in his heart, it is difficult to ask too deeply. Proper questioning is concern, but if it is too frequent, it will turn into suspicion.
Li Xiaoran smiled helplessly, shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the iron cage jungle ahead with Old Lan. Although the soldiers along the way did not recognize a princely figure like Li Xiaoran, they recognized Old Lan. Therefore, when the two passed by, countless soldiers bent over and saluted, extremely respectful.
Just now, Old Lan showed a look of struggle when answering Li Xiaoran's question. It was obvious that he was about to break away from Li Yang's control. Even at this moment, Old Lan was walking, his face kept thinking and confusion, as if he was thinking hard about something.
Li Yang's heart was as calm as ice, his eyes were slightly closed, and his soul power and the beast energy in his body were stored but not released, and he remained at a critical point.
Although he had completely restrained his murderous intent in his body, he had reached the level of Li Yang's level that had barely affected the surrounding environment. As Li Yang's murderous intent became stronger, the space around him gradually became colder.
Li Xiaoran obviously noticed this change. He turned his head and looked around, then looked at Old Lan slightly with no traces, then frowned slightly and showed a thoughtful look.
At this moment, the old and the young walked towards the depths of the beast prison, but closed their mouths at the same time, and their faces were full of a focused look of thinking about things.
Suddenly, Li Xiaoran seemed to have figured out something, turned his head in an instant, stared at the old man beside him, and suddenly shouted: "Old Lan, wake up!"
This loud shout was too sudden. Not only Old Lan, but even Li Yang, who was hiding in Old Lan's arms, was shocked.
As the roar fell, Li Yang's face changed again. Then he stopped hesitating and suddenly came out of Lan Lao Huai and appeared in the roof of the soil.
As Li Yang left, Old Lan's face suddenly turned pale. Then his body shook violently for a few times, but he fell to the ground. It turned out that at that moment, Li Yang had completely destroyed part of the soul origin that existed in his soul space.
The huge change in front of him naturally alarmed many armored warriors who were interested in paying attention to the old man in Blue Star. These warriors were all in general-level strength, and were surrounded by a peak general beast. Seeing this scene, they immediately gathered together and protected the fainted old Lan and Li Xiaoran in the center.
However, such a huge change did not make Li Xiaoran frown. He raised his head slightly and looked at Li Yang above calmly, as if everything that was happening around had nothing to do with him.
Just as Li Yang was about to destroy all the humans here, while slowly looking for the target, Li Xiaoran's faint words made Li Yang subconsciously stunned, and the "Thousand Thousand Lights" skill that had just been brewed naturally paused.
"You should be Li Yang, right?" Although Li Xiaoran was a puzzled word, his tone was full of affirmation. In addition to a little curiosity, there were some strange lights that Li Yang could not see.
"What's the matter, so what?" After a little pondering, Li Yang said so. Although reason told Li Yang that all humans should be killed as soon as possible to avoid any variables, people will be curious, and Li Yang is no exception.
"Haha, it seems that I've guessed it right. If it weren't, you wouldn't have looked like this." Li Xiaoran chuckled with his palm and looked extremely happy.
"How did you guess it was me? With my appearance at this moment, it should be more reasonable to recognize me as a high-level phantom beast. Besides, what can I do if I recognize me? I will still kill you. Are you so happy again?" Li Yang's eyes flashed repeatedly, and he spoke in a cold voice again.
"The first question is how I guess your identity. Actually, it's very simple. If it's really a phantom beast, it's impossible to use soul power to control powerful people like Old Lan, because the phantom beast has no soul advantage at all. This is a unique ability that only humans have. As long as you figure this out first, the rest will go with the flow. It's obviously a human, but there's an imaginary beast that appears in front of me, and you'll try your best to break into this beast prison."
Li Xiaoran chuckled softly and said, "The Tang Dynasty royal family is not ignorant of the affairs of the Western Continent. Just like a human who can transform into a variety of illusion beasts appeared in the Western Continent. How could I not know about such a big thing?"
Li Xiaoran tapped his head with his fingers and continued, "Since you have arrived here, it seems that the people of the Li family should have been rescued by you. However, before entering the beast prison, there was no huge commotion in Wolong City. It can be seen that you should have quietly transferred all the people of the Li family to another place. However, Wolong City is close to Long City, and it is almost impossible to hide hundreds of people nearby. Moreover, even if you can move hundreds of humans out of thin air, the difficulty of hundreds of huge illusion beasts will soar a hundred times. Even if you, Li Yang, may not be able to do this, right? But you are still here, and you are so confident. From this, it is speculated that you should be carrying some magical prop that can accommodate life. I wonder if the guess below is correct, Brother Li Yang?"
When Li Xiaoran finally called him, Li Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and then said, "Although I feel very unhappy, I have to admit that you are a very smart person, but you also need to know that if a person knows too many things that he shouldn't have known, it is a very troublesome thing. If he doesn't do it well, he may even lose his life."
"If the emperor likes it, the eldest brother's life can be taken away at any time. However, if I were you, I will definitely dig out more information I want to know from my eldest brother's mouth and then kill the other party. However, before this, I need to clean up the things that are in trouble." Li Xiaoran smiled faintly, then pointed his finger behind him and bounced it lightly, and half a scream rang out, but an armored warrior who was about to sneak out of the beast prison to inform him was killed before the steps.
The other generals and beast warriors who were protecting Li Xiaoran immediately showed an incredible look, and a huge question appeared in their hearts, why did Li Xiaoran kill his own people? Could it be that he is also an accomplice of this person? But what the two of them said in the conversation was not the case?
They were destined to be unable to get the answer to this question. In the next moment, Li Xiaoran's fingers popped out thousands of times in succession, extinguishing all the life fires of the beast warriors in this layer of beast prison forever.
Li Yang's eyes hopped slightly again, but he didn't expect that he could take a look away. How could the existence of a warrior who could kill the beasts in the blink of an eye in the blink of an eye? How could he be an ordinary human? It seems that the other party must be wearing some special item that can hide his strength. It is precisely because of this that he blocked the detection of Li Yang's soul power.
"Now the annoying things have disappeared. I think I can explain to you some things that you want to know urgently in your heart." Li Xiaoran's smile was still so profound and full of confidence.
"I don't plan to listen to you continue to talk. Unfortunately, although you can guess everything, you can't guess my decision. Now, you can die!" Li Yang said coldly, his eyes full of mockery. Then in the other party's surprised eyes, Li Yang opened his mouth and spit out a thick pillar of fire that was completely disproportionate to his rat body.
The color of the flame was as dark as ink, and it was the black flame of Purgatory!
The black flame fire pillar just left Li Yang's mouth and then soared to a thickness of several meters, instantly swallowing Li Xiaoran, and even the ground under his feet was penetrated by hundreds of feet...
