Chapter 516: Underground prison (2)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
She had been discovered?
Ye Qing Luo’s heart thumped hard. She had already concealed her entire presence, could these underground prison guards be so resourceful?
Just as she was congealing her senses, preparing herself to extend the blink movement to leave the prison cell just before those guards came over to catch her.
The numerous guards who were standing outside for a couple of breaths all nearly turned around and continued their surveillance.
Ye Qing Luo, “…”
What situation was this?
Had they discovered her or had they not?
The footsteps of this troupe of guards started to get further and further away.
Ye Qing Luo noticed that other than staying at the prison cell which she was in for a couple of breaths, they just casually glanced at the other prison cells.
This made Ye Qing Luo feel even more absurd.
Slowly, the underground prison entered into a state of dimness and silence.
There was no longer any shuffling of feel sound from those guards.
The entire underground prison was strangely quiet.
After staying in the prison cell for a bit of time, Ye Qing Luo had more or less developed some immunity towards the stench.
Especially after she withdrew herself to behind that pile of straw, that pungent smell got even more intense.
After being fumigated for some time, she got accustomed to it!
As the prison guards took a bit of time standing at the entrance, Ye Qing Luo kept herself hidden in the straw for some time before moving her limbs.
She had just started moving when she heard a hoarse voice by her ear, “You’re actually a young lady… hehehe….”
That hoarse laugh sounded extremely ear-piercing.
It made one’s hair stand up.
Ye Qing Luo’s pupils suddenly contracted.
This voice was right beside her!
She actually didn’t realise that there was someone beside her?
Ye Qing Luo raised her eyes in alertness as she speedily pushed aside the straw and she started rolling on the ground.
After distancing herself from that direction, she gazed intently at the direction of the voice as she lowered her volume, “Who’s that!”
“Your moves are rather nimble, no wonder you’re able to reach this place.” That voice continued on talking, “Indeed the times have changed. Just a few years of time and even a lady can become an outstanding thief…”
Hearing this regretful voice and tone, Ye Qing Luo’s tightly knitted brows slightly loosened.
This voice sounded very old and it belonged to a man.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that his throat was very dry, his hoarseness was audible.
There was no ill intention on this old man.
Ye Qing Luo narrowed her eyes as she carefully sized up the old man who had been sitting beside her.
This old man… who exactly was he? Before she executed her blink movement, she had specially sensed around this prison cell and there wasn’t any presence at all.
Furthermore, she had laid within the straw earlier and for almost one hour, she totally didn’t discover that someone was right beside her.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that the old man opened his mouth first, she would probably not have discovered her even by now.
“Young lady, there’s no need to treat me like some great scourge.” The elderly man saw the alertness in Ye Qing Luo’s eyes as he laughed wildly, “I’ve been locked up by the Profound Ice Shackles and totally immovable.”
Profound Ice Shackles?
Ye Qing Luo had heard of this item.
It was rumoured to be the shackles which were refined by the Number One Armament Master, refined with the main material of unbreakable cold ice infused with Heaven and Earth’s spiritual qi.
Those people who had been shackled by the Profound Ice Shackles weren’t able to struggle free from it no matter how high their Profound grade was or how powerful their abilities were.
“Old man, who are you?” Ye Qing Luo silently went close to him as she pulled away those straws.
She saw an old man in rags with his hands fixed on the wall. It was indeed the Profound Ice Shackles, which was radiating with a chilly ray, that had fixed him onto the wall.
For someone who needed to be restrained by the Profound Ice Shackles, he must be someone who could not be underestimated.
Ye Qing Luo absolutely believed that this old man’s ability… was not only above hers, but also extremely powerful!
Otherwise with her acute perception, how was it possible that she had not discovered that there was someone right beside her?
This old man’s identity really made one had misgivings.
