Jiu Shen arrived inside the hidden dungeon of the Bloodfallen Family. The place was dark and gloomy and the only source of light were two flickering Ten Thousand Year Torches. Just like their name, they remain burning for ten thousand years!
From where he stood, Jiu Shen could see a prison cell not far from him. He then walked towards it with a calm look.
Despite the dungeon’s gloomy atmosphere, it was still clean. Balmond didn’t want his son to suffer, so he had someone he trusted to clean this place every day.
Jiu Shen stood in front of the prison and saw a young man sitting listlessly at the corner. His eyes looked vacant as if he had lost his soul and his body emitted a foul stench.
“What a pity! You have a Divine Physique, but no one was able to recognize it. Luckily, your father was smart enough to seal your cultivation or you would have died.” Jiu Shen muttered silently as he entered the prison. This kind of prison was nothing to him. Even without the key, he could just teleport inside using his space ability.
The soulless eyes of the young demon suddenly flashed with viciousness when he sensed the presence of another individual in this confined space.
He emitted a beast-like roar as he pounced towards Jiu Shen like an angry lion.
Jiu Shen lifted his finger and flicked the chest of the young demon, sending him flying towards the other side of the prison.
Thud.
“Just sleep there obediently since I’ll begin making the array.” Jiu Shen said to the unconscious young demon as he took out several items from his space earring.
Vermilion Callia Lily, mother leaf of Vulcan Spirit Vine, one vial of Origin God Realm savage beast blood, one God Stone, and a hundred pounds of Golden Sand.
Normally, Array Formation Makers use an Array Brush and a special type of ink to create an Array Formation. However, Jiu Shen was able to create an Array Formation Making Technique that wouldn’t any of the two items. This technique was created because of Jiu Shen’s boredom when he was studying Array Formation Making in his past life.
Jiu Shen drew a pattern on the ground using the Golden Sand. This process was the easiest in his technique and it only took him five minutes to do it.
After that, Jiu Shen grabbed the Vermilion Callia Lily and the mother leaf of Vulcan Spirit Vine and refined them into a liquid form. The refining process was a bit longer and he completed it in twelve minutes.
He then took out a flask and poured the liquid forms of the two spiritual herbs inside. He also poured the blood of the Origin God Realm savage beast inside the flask. After mixing the three, a purple liquid mixture was created. Jiu Shen will be using this as the ink for his Array Formation.
Jiu Shen dipped his forefinger in the flask and coated the tip of his finger with the purple mixture. He then followed the pattern he drew earlier using the Golden Sand.
The inscription he drew slowly lit up and came to life, but Jiu Shen knew that there was still one final item he needed to add to complete this Array Formation.
He grabbed the God Stone that he had taken out earlier and placed it at the very core of the inscription.
The light emitted by the inscription became even brighter, but it soon stabilized.
“Alright. It’s done.” Jiu Shen muttered, pleased with his own work. He then walked towards the unconscious Artaurus and threw him towards the Soul Stabilizing Array Formation.
“His body and soul need more than an hour to heal completely.” He muttered.
With nothing else to do, Jiu Shen took out a chair from his space earring. He definitely didn’t plan to sit on the cold smelly floor. He then covered his nose using his true essence and drank wine as he waited for Artaurus to wake up.
After about an hour, the unconscious Artaurus suddenly groaned as he slowly lifted his aching body. He felt like he had just woken up from a very long sleep. His bones creaked and his blood churned as if he had come back to life.
The last thing he could recall was that he had lost control of his own consciousness and began killing everyone. After that, everything soon went dark and this period lasted for a very long time.
“Whe-Where am I?” Artaurus lifted his head and observed his surroundings with a weak look. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of a silver-haired human seated calmly on a chair. At this moment, this human youth was looking at him with an indifferent gaze.
It unnerved him. It felt like he was being stared at by a predator!
Artaurus stood up with great difficulty as he looked at Jiu Shen’s face. “Human, where is this place?”
He saw the human smiling at him coldly. His voice was devoid of emotions. “Artaurus Bloodfallen. You don’t resemble Balmond at all. That guy looks like he would kill someone any time, but you look no different than your sister, Cornelia. Maybe a haircut would make you look manlier.”
That was the reply Artaurus heard from the human. Suddenly, his eyes became frosty. “How dare you call His Majesty by his name! Cough! Cough!”
Cough!
Artaurus fell weakly to the ground as he coughed heavily. He felt his lungs were short of oxygen after that moment of rage. Who is this human? Why did he know his father?
“Well, at least you got his violent side. You should not talk too much since you just recovered. It’s too troublesome to explain things to you, so I’ll give this job to Balmond. You can come to me when you’ve learned everything.” Jiu Shen said as he walked towards Artaurus. He then brought him out of the dungeon and teleported him straight to where Balmond was located.
“Wine Master Jiu Shen? Wait…. Artaurus?!” A surprised voice soon echoed as Jiu Shen and Artaurus appeared inside the meeting room of the Bloodfallen Family.
