Xu Nian didnât expect the Peacock Woman to agree so readily.
"Youâre really straightforward about wanting to get out. Arenât you afraid Iâll do something to you?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
"Afraid of what? You can do whatever you want, as long as you can get me out of here. Staying alive here holds no meaning for me," the Banshee Empress responded.
"How long have you been imprisoned?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"About 650,000 years," replied the Banshee Empress.
"650,000 years?" Xu Nian sucked in a cold breath.
"Do you know how long Iâve lived?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
"How long? 100,000 years?" The Banshee Empress sized Xu Nian up.
Xu Nian shook his head with a smile.
"200 years!" Xu Nian said, smiling.
"How many?" The Banshee Empress asked in disbelief.
"200 years!" Xu Nian replied again.
The Banshee Empress was left completely dumbfounded.
To reach this level in just 200 years, how did this guy do it?
"Even if youâre from the Human Clan, you canât cultivate this quickly!" The Banshee Empress still found it hard to believe.
"Maybe Iâm just an exception," Xu Nian chuckled.
"Whatâs your name?" Xu Nian continued to ask.
"Kong Xiao!" the Banshee Empress responded.
"Iâm planning to go to the top floor to find someone. If you wish, you can come with me, or you can wait here for me. As long as I make it back down, Iâll take you with me," Xu Nian said.
"Iâll go with you!" Kong Xiao answered.
"Alright!" Xu Nian did not refuse.
Because Kong Xiaoâs combat strength was not weak, having her by his side would save a lot of trouble.
Xu Nian also released Kuang Shi.
The latter looked cautiously at Kong Xiao and Xu Nian standing together.
"Donât worry, itâs fine now. Iâve negotiated with her, and she is willing to recognize me as her master. Iâll take her out," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Really?" Kuang Shi looked surprised.
Evidently, he did not expect Xu Nian to actually subdue Kong Xiao.
Kong Xiao, however, had a haughty expression, seemingly with no intention of explaining.
Xu Nian chuckled, "Itâs true. Alright, letâs proceed to the third level."
Kuang Shi was utterly astonished.
He never imagined that Xu Nian would be this formidable, even able to subdue Kong Xiao.
Though there was the condition of taking her out, he clearly understood that if Xu Nian hadnât conquered Kong Xiao,
Kong Xiao would not agree to recognize Xu Nian as her master.
Thinking of this, Kuang Shi felt more and more that this young man from the Human Clan was extraordinary.
"You want to go to the third level, then I must remind you," Kong Xiao said.
"Whatâs the matter?" Xu Nian asked in confusion.
"The guy on the third level is particularly powerful because his cultivated law is the same as yours," Kong Xiao said.
"The same? Wind Attribute? Earth Attribute?" Xu Nian was puzzled.
"Itâs the spatial attribute!" Kong Xiao replied.
"Uh? Spatial attribute?" Xu Nian showed a look of surprise.
Up till now, he hadnât encountered a cultivator of the Space Law.
Unexpectedly, the guy on the third level turned out to be a Space Practitioner.
"Whatâs his true form?" Xu Nian asked, perplexed.
"A spider, Space Black Demon Spider, proficient in the Space Binding Law," Kong Xiao said.
Xu Nian was shocked inwardly.
Space Binding?
That really is quite a troublesome opponent.
"Iâm just passing through; he shouldnât trouble me, right?" Xu Nian asked coldly.
"Hard to say. Heâs an extremely ruthless fellow, and his greatest pleasure lies in devouring othersâ marrow. So, he basically wonât spare anyone weaker than him," Kong Xiao said.
Xu Nian furrowed his brows.
Devour marrow?
What a cruel and savage beast.
If thatâs the case, it seems this guy wonât easily let him pass.
"Letâs go. If he doesnât step aside, then weâll slaughter him," Xu Nian declared.
Now at the Demon Emperor Realm, there were few who could harm him.
So, even if the third level held a Space Black Demon Spider, he had no fear.
Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao nodded as well.
They had witnessed Xu Nianâs strength.
Perhaps he really did have the power to slay the Space Black Demon Spider.
Thus, they followed Xu Nian up the stairs to the third level.
But as they arrived on the third level, Xu Nian suddenly frowned and stopped.
"Whatâs wrong?" Kuang Shi asked, puzzled.
"This place is filled with many space threads. Once you enter, youâll be instantly entangled," Xu Nian said.
"Space threads? Why canât I see them?" Kuang Shi exclaimed in surprise.
Not only him, but even Kong Xiao couldnât see them.
"These space threads are condensed by Space Power and are generally hard to detect. Youâre not Space Law practitioners, so naturally, you canât sense them," Xu Nian explained.
Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao both felt a chill upon hearing this.
If it were them alone, they might have fallen into the trap directly.
"What should we do now?" Kuang Shi asked.
"These space threads are quite tough, but not unbreakable," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Then, he slashed his sword, cutting all the threads within a ten-meter radius.
Then they entered the third level.
"Kuang Shi, Kong Xiao, you dare come to my third level? Do you intend to become my delicacy?"
At that moment, a massive figure crawled over from a distance.
It was an eight-legged spider.
Its enormous body stood several hundred meters high, and each leg was nearly three hundred meters long.
"Black Demon, we just want to go to the fourth level and have no intention against you," Kuang Shi said.
"Humph, go to the fourth level? What do you want there?" Black Demon asked.
"Iâm the one going up, actually heading to the seventh level. Since youâve set so many traps here, I have no choice but to go," Xu Nian smiled.
"Who are you? You can see the space traps Iâve set?" Black Demon looked at Xu Nian in surprise.
He then noticed Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao were standing behind this young man.
This confused him even more.
Especially Kong Xiao, known for her arrogance. How could he, as a long-time neighbor, not know?
"Iâm Xu Nian, also a Space Practitioner. Naturally, I can see the space traps youâve set," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Youâre a Space Practitioner too?" Black Demon once again scrutinized Xu Nian in surprise.
"Youâre human, arenât you? How did you end up here?" Black Demonâs eyes gleamed.
"Yes, Iâm human," Xu Nian smiled.
"Haha, human marrow is the tastiest. I havenât tasted it in tens of thousands of years," Black Demon laughed excitedly.
His eyes filled with endless greed.
Xu Nian instantly furrowed his brows.
Just as Kong Xiao had said.
This Black Demon wouldnât let him off easily.
"So, youâre not planning to let us pass?" Xu Nian asked.
"Haha, such a delicious treat, how could I miss it? Kid, today you stay here," Black Demon laughed loudly.
Then, space threads around them shot towards Xu Nian crazily.
In just a moment, Xu Nian and his companions were all wrapped up like dumplings.
