He teleports around like a ghost; does this guy have unlimited magic power? His space magic, which consumes a lot of energy, is practically useless.
And why is that head so hard? Its fangs can even penetrate the tough hide of a superhuman Behemoth, yet this guy managed to smash it with his skull.
Not to mention the healing tentacle ball. The snake-haired girl knew that this was a divine spell blessed by the false god behind the other party, but if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have thought that Mata could be so outrageous, able to pull someone back no matter how badly they were cut up.
The key question is, even with this divine spell not consuming any energy, and hundreds of such spells already cast, is it still not over?
Unable to comprehend it, she could only shrink her body from its camouflage, transforming into an inconspicuous little snake, and seize the opportunity to slip into the crevice between the stone walls.
While she still had half of the Earth Believers drawing the enemy's attention, she quickly withdrew to seek support, hoping there might still be a chance to turn the tide.
As long as she escapes to the ground and finds the royal family to lead troops to surround and kill her, no matter how strong this guy is, he is doomed.
Thinking of this, the snake opened its lower jaw and flicked its tongue, as if revealing a sinister, human-like smile.
But in the next instant, her scales suddenly sensed a slight tremor coming from the stone wall outside her body.
Before she could even realize what was happening, a merciless iron arm suddenly rammed into the stone wall, piercing through the tough structure like a pile driver, and grabbed the snake by its vital spot.
No way, does this guy have X-ray vision?!
The snake's head was clamped by a strange force, its wide-open jaws unable to close, spitting out several streams of foam, its eyes rolled back, and its forked tongue dangled out like a ribbon.
The rock-hard wall was as fragile as tofu in front of Ye Xiao's arm; the black snake, which had crawled in for half a meter, was pulled out by him.
He was constantly observing the situation outside the field, just waiting for this guy to show up.
Although it was just a tiny, inconspicuous black shadow that flashed by in his field of vision, for Ye Xiao, whose perception was also stacked to an extraordinary level, this level of flaw was enough for him to react if he paid attention.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!!"
With its true form held in his palm, the creature finally became obedient, struggling to flick its tongue but managing to emit a sharp human voice.
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. He had never seen such a shameless Dark Cultist before. In the past, most of these Dark Cultists would just roar and fight him to the death.
"You should be able to stop the remaining Earth Believers, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't need to keep you around."
Black Serpent nodded with difficulty, and then, the remaining Earth Knights and Priests who were being manipulated actually stopped their attack below the pit.
Seeing this, the maid Fisher, who was fighting with them, finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the wall covered in blood, and began to pant.
Ye Xiao grabbed the black snake and teleported back to the bottom of the pit. Seeing Fei Xue's seriously injured appearance, he opened a deep red magic circle with his left hand.
"I can recover on my own, don't shove that terrifying tentacle into my hands."
Fisher quickly raised his hand.
Ye Xiao shrugged and instead took out two bottles of healing potions from his spatial ring and tossed them into the other person's arms.
Then, he first spent some time exorcising the black snakes from the bodies of the remaining Earth Church believers, allowing them to help each other. Only then did Ye Xiao grab the black snake by the neck and interrogate it in a cold voice.
"What are you?"
"I...I am the great Lord, the supreme will of chaos, the god of the void..."
"Tell me in a concise way."
Ye Xiao impatiently exerted his strength.
"Ugh!... Ah!... I said! Lower your pressure, I can't breathe!"
The black snake flicked its tongue in pain. "I am an apostle under my lord, and one of the last direct descendants of the Eldridge family."
"Eldridge?"
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the tongue-twisting name.
"It is the family lineage you call 'Miracle Sorcerers'... This surname, along with the name 'Life,' has been erased, but this is our true surname."
The black snake slightly turned its head, its vertical pupils looking pitifully at Ye Xiao, "You also inherited the family bloodline, so logically we're family..."
"Don't try to get close to me."
Ye Xiao immediately slapped the snake's head, "Now that you mention it, you're making me feel a little uncomfortable. If you bring this up again, I'll strangle you."
"Don't!"
The black snake opened its mouth in astonishment.
"The last member of the Eldridge family... Your master calls herself Lydia, right?"
Upon hearing this name, the black snake visibly trembled with fear.
"And, it's not a self-proclaimed name... that is the master's divine name..."
"Bullshit, then who's that in my house?"
"That one of yours is just a false god... not the real Lady Lydia..."
Black Snake seemed afraid that Ye Xiao would hit her on the head again, and she nervously shrank her head as she spoke.
"According to you, where did the false god come from?"
"Your... it's just... it's just that Ella Heviel used some tricks in a past reincarnation to temporarily occupy my master's body..."
Black Snake's tone was both timid and firm. To be honest, Ye Xiao rarely saw such a combination of emotions in one thing.
“My Lord Lydia is the true chaotic consciousness, only sealed by those seven layers of divine tombs. But once she breaks the seal, she will descend upon the void again sooner or later!”
Ye Xiao found it amusing to hear this guy's timid and boastful shouting.
But upon closer reflection, he felt somewhat uneasy. The other party had revealed this information rather readily, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, yet the unwavering determination in their eyes was undeniable.
Why do you believe that?
Ye Xiao asked curiously.
"This... friend?"
Just then, a Templar Knight of the Earth walked over.
This was originally a beast rider, but has now returned to human form, wearing a helmet and making a buzzing sound.
Ye Xiao was wearing a hood and cloak, making it impossible to recognize his true form, so he could only address him vaguely.
"There's some noise coming from the upper stairwell. It seems there are new enemies coming down, and quite a few of them."
Chapter 191 The Seventh Floor
Reinforcements are here already?
Ye Xiao frowned, and his gaze toward the black snake immediately turned hostile.
"I didn't call it! It has nothing to do with me!"
The black snake was immediately thrown into a panic.
"Don't think I don't know that you and your master can communicate remotely."
Ye Xiao pressed down slightly on the back of the black snake's neck with his thumb, "I think you don't want to live anymore."
"Innocent! Our master often falls into a deep sleep, and during these times we apostles cannot contact her..."
Black Snake blurted out the words in his haste, then quickly realized something was wrong.
"Damn it! You tricked me into telling me this!?"
"I'm just trying to give you a chance to confess and receive leniency, so you can suffer less."
Ye Xiao shook the snake's head. "You don't actually think you still have a chance to go back, do you?"
The fact that Lydia on the other side can fall asleep is quite important information.
However, they still needed to figure out how to deal with the enemies coming from above. After a moment's thought, Ye Xiao ordered the Earth Knight to blast open the ramp leading to the top.
"How is this okay!?"
Hearing this, a noble prisoner who had been rescued immediately protested loudly, "How are we supposed to get out if there's no exit?!"
Just as Ye Xiao was about to answer, another middle-aged prisoner who looked more composed spoke up first: "You can go out."
"On the sixth floor, there is a secret passage connecting to the city's underground river. In the past, this place served not only as a prison for holding criminals, but also as an underground fortress, a hidden escape route left by the royal family in case the palace fell."
"How did you know?"
To be on the safe side, Ye Xiao asked with some curiosity.
“My father was the royal architect and participated in the renovation of the palace. Although the architectural drawings are kept in the royal library, my father mentioned this to me.”
"That's just hearsay; you've never seen it with your own eyes."
Another noble prisoner looked worried.
"But it's worth a try."
Ye Xiao nodded. "Do you really want to fight your way out against the palace guards and imperial soldiers above?"
Upon hearing this, the noble prisoner had no further objections.
Even if going down is a dead end, we can only take a chance; going up will never get us out of the palace.
"But how can we be sure you are trustworthy?"
Another priest from the Earth Church questioned, “Indeed, you helped my colleagues regain their minds, but the power you used is also very disturbing.”
"You don't need to trust me."
Ye Xiao pulled up the collar of his shirt that was covering half of his face. "Let's just treat this as a temporary partnership for now. We'll have to wait until we survive before we can discuss anything else."
"I don't trust this guy either."
Fisher, who was wiping the blood from her forehead with a handkerchief, spoke up at that moment, "But it's more important to get out of here than to waste time here."
After a brief discussion, the group managed to reach a reasonably unified stance.
Under the command of the Beast Knight Commander, several Earth Priests first chanted together, unleashing a large-scale earthquake wave spell that destroyed the tunnel above.
Next, the group entered the downward passage at the bottom of the pit, and finally used magic to move the rocks, causing the entire sinkhole to collapse completely.
However, no one noticed that before entering the lower level, a rat was clinging to the pit wall, opening a spatial door.
Ella extended tentacles from it and snatched away the two sarcophagi. Now we finally have a chance to figure out how this thing works.
There are still some manipulated Earth Believers stationed on the fifth and sixth floors below, but there are not many left. After all, the main military force has long been gathered on the fourth floor to fight Ye Xiao, so there is no reason for them to remain on the lower floors.
But these colleagues, who were frantically chanting chaotic wills, made the church believers who had come to their senses feel even more deeply afraid.
Initially, they were somewhat wary of Ye Xiao's strange tentacles used for healing, but after witnessing their delirious companions regain their senses, they gradually developed some trust in him.
Regardless of whether those tentacles will have any subtle influence in the future, at least for now, they feel that their will is largely free. After all, it doesn't seem to be a problem to maintain their hostility towards Ye Xiao, which is completely different from the fanatical feeling of being controlled by the black snake in their memories.
Ye Xiao didn't care much about what these guys thought. Regardless of whether they were wary of him or not, they would definitely become trouble for Silvana once they got out.
This underground prison is a large-scale brainwashing facility for a secret cult, and the nobles who have been arrested but not yet fully brainwashed now cover almost every industry, making it a talent market for rebels.
Therefore, he opened all the cells on the fifth floor without any hesitation and released all the prisoners inside.
Fisher looked around in the crowd, seemingly searching for someone, but clearly didn't find anyone, and a look of sadness appeared on his face.
These two levels also housed a large number of people, with over two hundred unfortunate prisoners. Unfortunately, there weren't many high-ranking nobles; even earls were extremely rare. The vast majority were family members who might not even have titles yet, let alone marquises and dukes.
But that's normal. After three months in power, if a high-ranking nobleman were imprisoned, he would either have been won over or brainwashed long ago. He wouldn't still be in jail.
However, these are minor issues, since Ye Xiao now knows how to break the mind control of the Dark Shepherd.
After releasing the prisoners from the fifth and sixth levels, the team grew significantly, and these were all genuine combatants. Aslan himself believed in bloodlines; as a nobleman, his magical skills were generally quite high.
The main force quickly arrived at the seventh floor.
The number of people on this floor was noticeably less than on the previous two floors.
The Earth Knights stationed here were naturally no match for so many people and were easily dealt with. However, looking around, it seemed that there were only three prisoners in this huge dungeon.
The reason for using "seems" is that the cell doors are no longer the ordinary iron bars like those mentioned above, but sturdy obsidian doors with layers of restrictions.
Chains of demonic steel coiled around it like giant pythons, and countless magical runes circled the heavy sealing stone, emitting an eerie, ghostly blue light.
Ye Xiaoxin became curious and reached out to touch the sealing stone, but was stopped by the nobleman behind him.
“Sir… the deepest colleague I’ve heard of is imprisoned is only on the sixth floor. It’s best not to inquire about what’s imprisoned on the seventh floor.”
"Hmm...it seems there are no noble prisoners here who need to be rescued. Let's go back to the sixth floor and start searching for a way out."
The Beast Knight Commander, who was in temporary command, also spoke up.
