Chapter 1377: Twelve Days Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A blue beam of light shot out of the white-robed elder’s hand and released Ji Lin’s seal. He smiled and said, “Little girl, it’s been hard on you for the past few days, but it’ll all be over in twelve days. The last day might be a little painful, though. It will feel like thousands of ants eating your heart.”

“When the time is up, you’ll die. Don’t worry, the ceremony won’t last long. It’ll only take an hour!”

“After that, you will be free forever. Besides, you have nine companions accompanying you into the Netherworld, so you won’t be lonely.”

He described all of this calmly and indifferently.

Ji Lin woke up and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in fear.

She really regretted coming here to look for her sister.

“Woo…”

“I don’t want to die… I don’t want to die…”

“Sister, Ye Chen… I don’t want to die… Sister Luo, how are you…”

Ji Lin held onto the cage’s iron bars, looking extremely miserable. Tears streamed down her cheeks. From time to time, she shouted, “Why?”

“I have never offended you, so why do you want to kill me?”

“Why are you so vicious?!” Let me out!” Ji Lin shouted hysterically.

“Otherwise, don’t even think about completing the ceremony. I’ll self-destruct right now!”

She gradually mobilized the power of her blood essence, and her small body gradually expanded.

Whoosh!

A streak of red light flashed, and Ji Lin’s body returned to its original state. She looked at the white-robed elder with a blank and helpless expression.

‘Why? I didn’t do anything. Why do these people want to kill me?’

‘Sister, Ye Chen, Sister Luo! Can you come and save me?’

“No matter what you do, you will die.” The white-robed elder smiled wickedly. A blue light flashed in his hand, and a special white prison uniform appeared on Ji Lin’s body. He casually lifted the cage as if he was carrying a toy, and brought it into a dungeon, passing by countless guards and checkpoints.

Along the way, not a single guard dared to disrespect him. Wherever he went, the guards lowered their heads and did not dare to look straight at him.

Soon, the white-robed elder arrived at the deepest cell, which was huge and already contained nine other cages, which housed nine girls in white prison uniforms.

The nine little girls were in a daze as they hugged their legs and sat in the cage, looking as if they had lost their minds.

They stared at the white-robed elder expressionlessly, who carried the crying Ji Lin in, but there was no reaction.

It was as if he had already accepted their fate.

Now, there was no need for any more emotions or words. After all, everything would end in twelve days.

“Mhm, the tenth!”

“Just right!” The white-robed elder smiled and happily hung the cage on a specially made iron chain. Seeing that Ji Lin was still crying in the cage, he casually slapped Ji Lin’s face, causing her face to turn red.

“Little girl, if you dare to cause trouble again, I won’t kill you, but I’ll have you experience what true despair is!”

“Just look at the nine of them. They were also troubled at the beginning. Their cultivation levels might not be as high as yours, but they kept crying. What do you think the consequences were? How do you think they ended up like that?”

“If you want, I can allow you to experience that same nightmare!”

Ji Lin was so frightened that she trembled and did not dare to say another word.

Seeing this, the white-robed old man revealed a vicious smile. “That’s the spirit. I’m not overly cruel and won’t let others torture you all, so be sensible, and perhaps you can eat and drink well in the last twelve days before you die!”

“However, if you dare to make any noise…”

Kacha!

The white-robed elder crushed a Primordial Chaos-grade artifact. Some of the broken shards slashed Ji Lin’s face, leaving behind wounds. He then said with a vicious look, “Don’t blame me for being heartless!”

Ji Lin stopped crying, but she kept twitching. She did not say a word until the white-robed elder left.

Soon, night fell. Ji Lin curled up at the edge of the cage. From time to time, she would look at the nine cages hanging on the left. The nine girls did not say a word. They were like statues, curled up in the cage, trembling and crying from time to time.

It was hard to imagine what kind of treatment these girls had suffered which resulted in their current state of mind.

“Ye Chen, where are you?” Ji Lin was curled up. She was a little more awake now and muttered to herself.

“Sister Luo is in danger. I wanted to inform you, but I can’t. Ye Chen, where are you?”

“Big Sister, where are you? I miss you so much.”

“I miss you guys so much. I miss Huaxia’s snacks. I miss Senior Han Yun and Ye Lingtian too. When you weren’t around, they would protect me.”

“Big Brother Hei Yao, Big Brother Qing Xuan, Big Brother Huang Zhantian, they were all very nice to me and gave me a lot of snacks, but I can’t eat them now. I really want to go back to the Kunlun Mountains. I really want to go back and see them. I really want them to play with me.”

“Ye Chen, ever since you went to the Lingwu Continent, and after the battle with the Blood Sword Sect, many of my senior brothers and uncles are cultivating and ignoring me. Brother Huang Zhantian and the others are busy with all kinds of things. I’m the only one in the huge palace with nothing to do, so I wanted to come and find you. That’s why I waited outside Spirit City, but I couldn’t enter until Sister Luo arrived.”

“Ye Chen, I thought I could find you, just like in the Kunlun Mountains and Huaxia. However, the Lingwu Continent is really too dangerous…”

As Ji Lin spoke, she wiped her tears and choked several times. “I might die in twelve days…”

“Ye Chen, will you come and save me before that?”

She looked at her little hand and waved her fingers. “Twelve days. I’ll wait for you!”

“Ye Chen…”

After she spoke, Ji Lin fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, a cold gust of wind blew from outside the window. There were even terrifying howls of wolves that woke Ji Lin up. She could only count the seconds one by one, hoping that Ye Chen would come and save her the very next moment.

The nine girls looked at her silently, but their eyes were filled with sorrow.
