Chapter 2154: Real Appearance

When he recalled the Yaksha Ocean Patrol that had been controlled, Zu An frowned slightly. Ka Qier still seemed to have his wits about him, so that didn’t seem to be the case with him.

When they left, he returned to his personal palace and shared what he learned with the two women. When they heard what he said, both of them were shocked. So apart from the monsters, Hell itself had also joined in on this plot!

“Are we really going to open the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons?” Shang Hongyu was a bit worried. She just felt like the risk was a bit too high.

Shang Hongyu didn’t say anything; instead, she gave Zu An a look, because she knew that he was looking for the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine. He had to look for a way inside.

Zu An knew what she was thinking and admitted right away, “That’s right, I'm looking for something and must make a trip into the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons. But we can also use this chance to see just what those monsters and Hell creatures are searching for. We can’t just passively respond to everything.”

Shang Hongyu nodded and said, “That’s true. If we can’t deal with this issue fully, the consequences will be immeasurable.”

Shang Liuyu gave her a look.

These two really are acting like a proper couple. I’m suddenly the one who feels like an outsider.

You have successfully trolled Shang Liuyu for +11 +11 +11...

Zu An was speechless. He was also a bit helpless. These two sisters really knew how to play around...

One of them thought that the other didn’t know, and was giving an Oscar-worthy performance; the other clearly knew, and yet didn’t talk about it. Now, he was the one stuck in the middle of it all. It was easy to imagine just how mad Shang Hongyu would be if she found out the truth.

I’ll definitely become a target for her venting then too.

Fortunately, Shang Hongyu changed the topic. “By the way, what's going on with that Ka Qier? I actually didn’t see him all day. This is the same guy who usually loves to monitor us.”

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Ka Qier was always tailing her, she wouldn’t have had to go that far with Zu An. Even though... Even though she had experienced pleasure she had never experienced before, that was only because she had been forced to.

There’s no way I would thank him for something like that!

“I find it a bit strange as well. I was pretty surprised when he told me that he wouldn’t be following us, but I didn’t think that there would still be no sight of him even now,” Zu An said with puzzlement.

Shang Liuyu’s expression suddenly changed. “Do you think he might be doing something bad? We need to be on our guard against that.”

Zu An nodded. “I’ll go to where he lives and look around.’

Shang Hongyu was really worried, saying, “But that Ka Qier’s cultivation is extremely high. What if you end up being discovered...”

“There might have been a chance of being discovered in the past, but now that I have the Crown of the Ocean Deity, I can control the waters themselves. I have even more confidence that I won’t be discovered by him.”

Shang Liuyu said seriously, “But you still can’t be careless. Judging from what you just said, Ka Qier is most likely a part of the Hell faction. We’ve never interacted with those Hell guys before and don’t know what kind of strange abilities they have.”

“Yeah, I’ll be careful,” Zu An said. After he bade the sisters farewell, he didn’t leave through the main door, and slipped out of the window instead. With his cultivation, he didn’t have to worry about alerting the nearby guards at all.

Shang Liuyu watched her sister looking at Zu An disappearing into the distance, and couldn't help but tease her. “Big sis, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you worry so much for brother-in-law.”

“The past is the past, and the present is the present. It’s not as if you don’t know the things that happened.” Shang Hongyu rolled her eyes.

“I really envy you, big sis. You have someone you love at your side.” Shang Liuyu suddenly sighed. “I wonder if Ah Zu received my letter or not. It would be great if he were here. With him and brother-in-law working together, they wouldn’t need to fear those monsters, no matter how many of them there are.”

Shang Hongyu couldn't help but chuckle. “Don’t worry, he’ll definitely come in time to save you.”

Shang Liuyu’s mood finally improved a bit when she saw just how hard her big sis was pushing her performance.

Hmph, act, keep acting. The more you put on this act, the more devastating your social suicide will be.

...

Meanwhile, Zu An quickly arrived at Ka Qier’s residence. As the leader of the Dragon Palace's guards, Ka Qier had his own home in the palace.

The security here was stricter, even including many defensive formations. If it had been in the past, no matter how profound Zu An’s cultivation was, it would’ve been difficult for him to infiltrate such a small place with so many vigilant eyes watching. But now that he had the Crown of the Ocean Deity...

He suddenly realized something and quickly withdrew his aura. Immediately after, he was surrounded by a circle of seawater. From the eyes of those outside, the area he was standing in was no different from the waters nearby. The entire Dragon Palace was immersed in water, which made things much easier for him.

Soon after, the seawater silently flowed into Ka Qier’s residence. The surrounding guards didn’t notice anything, because there was water everywhere to begin with. With Zu An’s current skill in formations, he could tell which areas had traps. He carefully avoided them and went inside the courtyard.

“Hm? There’s a sound blocking formation too?” Zu An muttered in confusion. The formation in front of him only blocked sound, but the design was extremely profound and complex. Even if a nuclear bomb exploded inside, no one would hear a thing outside. Just how many resources had been used to design such a complicated formation?

Could it be that Ka Qier is currently discussing secrets with the people inside?

When he thought of that, he quickly entered. As soon as he passed through the formation, he heard a bitter howl. He really couldn't imagine just what kind of pain one would have to endure to scream like that. 𝓯𝑟𝓮ℯ𝘸ℯ𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷ℯ𝓵.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Zu An’s expression changed. That was Ka Qier’s voice!

Did someone ambush him? But who would do such a thing in the current Dragon Palace? Is it the Bloodthirst Crocodile’s group?

But judging from the previous conversation, it doesn’t seem too likely.

He couldn't suppress his curiosity anymore and approached the source of the sound with increased vigilance.

There’s no sign of a battle...

Zu An arrived next to a building that seemed to be Ka Qier’s personal house. He looked in through a crack in the window, and his eyes immediately widened.

The scene inside was quite horrifying. Ka Qier’s figure was twisting wildly in bed as his entire body split apart from the inside... No, it was only his skin that was splitting apart. Immediately after, an indistinct, human-shaped flesh monster came out. There wasn’t even a bit of skin left on it, only blood-red flesh. Its entire body was covered in dirty blood and viscous liquids. Not one part of it remained in good condition, and it seemed almost to have been forcefully pieced together. It was as if the creature would melt at any time.

Fortunately, Zu An had seen too many inconceivable things in his life, and his mental strength was particularly great; otherwise, even if he hadn’t cried out, his heart rate and breathing could have sped up enough to draw attention. However, his aura was completely withdrawn, as if he didn’t exist. He just silently observed everything. His eyes landed on the layer of skin on the bed that still seemed fairly intact.

So the real Ka Qier was killed after all, and this monster emptied out his body and only left behind his outer skin. Then, it hid inside to impersonate him.

This monster really is disgusting-looking!

The monster rolled around on the bed in pain. It frantically scratched at the flesh on its body, as if that could slightly alleviate the pain it felt. But the more it scratched, the more its flesh became distorted as pieces of flesh fell from it. Sometimes, even the bones inside became visible.

Zu An was completely baffled at what he was seeing.

Just what is it doing? It doesn’t seem like cultivation deviation. It looks more like it’s enduring some kind of torture!

Wait, it came from Hell. Legend has it that only the worst of the worst enter Hell, so that's why they have to suffer punishment. Don’t tell me that's real?

But who's torturing them?

He carefully observed for a while. With his current strength, he could vaguely sense that there seemed to be some kind of ancient and mysterious power, belonging to a being that didn't belong in this world. It wasn’t some concrete person or creature that was torturing the monster, but rather some kind of special law!

Are these Hell’s laws? Zu An thought in alarm. He hadn’t expected that despite this creature being able to already enter this world, it still wouldn’t be able to escape the punishment of Hell.

In the blink of an eye, seventy to eighty percent of that monster’s flesh had already melted away. At the same time, however, many areas suddenly began to grow new skin. Shortly after, a new layer of intact skin covered its entire body.

Zu An finally saw the monster’s real appearance.
