Chapter 636: Chapter 232: Demon Clan’s Last Words, Demon Emperor Strong (Seeking Monthly Tickets!) _2
Hu Weiyong, as the Patriarch of the Hu Family, naturally knew more about the hidden secrets of the world, so he understood better than Qin Ai how strange this matter was.
He couldn’t help but think that after the establishment of the underground world, the ancestors of the demon clan had left a prophecy.
Since then, the demon clan had been preparing for the prophesied catastrophe for millions of years. However, when the time of the prophecy came, the catastrophe did not occur, and they did not know how long it had been since then.
Everyone in the underground world thought that it was a mistake in the prophecy of the ancestors, so they gradually paid less attention to it and simply continued to adhere to the teachings of the ancestors.
However, in light of the current situation, it might be that the prophecy was only wrong about the time, otherwise there would be no explanation for the massive descent of the human elites into Beast Swamp.
Could it be that a catastrophe was truly going to come to Beast Swamp?
With this thought in mind, Hu Weiyong could no longer sit still and stood up directly, “Qin Ai, you have done a good job this time.
Since you left a living person behind, we will know the truth after some interrogation.”
As he said this, Hu Weiyong started to walk out, with Qin Ai hurriedly following behind. This was precisely the reason Fu Yuanpei had asked him to come.
Hu Weiyong also knew what Qin Ai had come for, although the other party had not said it, it was clear enough, so Hu Weiyong did not plan to waste any time.
As soon as the door of the room opened, the Hu Family Steward came forward immediately, but seeing Hu Weiyong’s intention to go out, he promptly prepared the Patriarch’s entourage.
However, his action was stopped by Hu Weiyong, “Don’t let anyone know that I am going out today. Everything at home should be usual. If anyone asks for me later, tell them that I am in closed-door cultivation.”
“Yes, Master, I have noted it down.”
Hu Weiyong saw that the steward understood his intention, and then quietly left the Hu Mansion with Qin Ai through the side door.
He did not want to make a fuss about this before the specifics of the Human Clan elites’ descent into Beast Swamp were clarified.
With more people involved, things would be harder to handle.
By the time Hu Weiyong and Qin Ai stealthily entered the Fu Family, Fu Yuanpei had already prepared a banquet, waiting for Hu Weiyong’s arrival.
“Brother Yuanpei.”
“Worthy brother Weiyong, I’m sorry to have bothered you today, but this matter is of great concern, and I cannot rest without you.”
The two greeted each other politely upon meeting, who would have thought that the younger-looking Fu Yuan would be called “brother” by Hu Weiyong. It could only be concluded that neither cultivators nor demonic beasts could be judged by their appearance.
As Fu Yuanpei finished speaking, Hu Weiyong waved his hand, “We are all demons on the same ship. This is not a matter for just one family.”
Understanding Hu Weiyong’s thought, Fu Yuanpei stopped being polite and invited Hu Weiyong to take a seat, ready to elaborate on his plan, but was interrupted by Hu Weiyong.
“Brother Yuanpei, since you have invited me, I don’t need you to say anything more about what needs to be done. I understand.
The most important thing now is to not waste time and get to the bottom of this matter.
Since we have this consensus, we better not waste any more time. Why not take me to see the Human Cultivator now, so I can get a clear understanding of the situation?”
“Since you are so righteous, worthy brother, I will not pretend further. Qin Ai, lead the way, and we will go to the dungeon to meet the Human Cultivator now.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”
After Qin Ai accepted the order, he took the lead in guiding the way. Soon, he brought Fu Yuanpei and Hu Weiyong to the Fu Family Backyard.
Then, they saw Qin Ai walk directly in front of a mountain stone and quickly make a hand seal. In a short time, a hidden entrance appeared on the stone.
“Master, Patriarch Hu, please follow me.”
After entering the passage, they found a hidden dimension, a winding path leading to a secluded area, in the darkness, with stone steps disappearing into the depths.
Yet Hu Weiyong was not surprised by this at all, he did not show any fear or suspicion that this might be some kind of conspiracy by the Fu Family.
He followed closely behind Fu Yuanpei and Qin Ai, walking step by step down. After crossing a bridge of iron chains, the scene before them suddenly opened up.
It was a carefully excavated space, with no prison guards visible, but the depth of the area was incredibly mysterious.
This was the Fu Family’s prison.
Though there seemed to be no guards here, it would be almost impossible for outsiders to break in, not to mention prisoners trying to escape.
Those who could leave the prison were likely headed for death, with no other option. Hu Weiyong still kept a watchful eye, simply following behind Qin Ai and the others.
There was a similar place in the Hu Family Backyard, though the structure was different, the level of security was almost the same.
On their way here, Hu Weiyong was sure that there were hidden masters of Demon Venerable or even higher levels lurking around, but no one knew where they were hiding.
Although Hu Weiyong did not find any trace of them, Liang Sheng saw them clearly. He was hiding his shape and stealthily following behind Fu Yuanpei and the others at this moment.
No one else could detect Liang Sheng’s presence, but Liang Sheng could clearly see the hidden masters of the prison.
Unless there were Unification Realm or higher-level masters, nothing could escape Liang Sheng’s eyes, and even the existence of Unification Realm, Liang Sheng would be aware of.
Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil was not only the Bloodline Ability of the Zhou Family; Liang Sheng was likely even better at it.
