Chương 5: Esape
Wtf. What is this voice? Why did it suddenly speak to me after I materialized my third Heaven?
Wait a moment... it appeared after I materialized my third Heaven. Does it have something to do with that? Or is it simply a coincidence?
My mind swirled with questions as I hastily made inferences, which were probably incorrect. Shakily, I asked, "What do you want?" out loud.
Loud chuckling filled my ears. "Oh... little girl, I reside within your mental space. There's no use in speaking out loud; other people will only think that you're crazy. Use your mental power to communicate."
Oh. That makes sense. Concentrating, I shut my eyes and visualized my mental space again. There, I saw an old man with a long, flowing white beard who was sitting cross legged on a mat. On second thought, where did he even get this mat in the first place?
He emanated an unfathomable aura, an aura that only powerful cultivators were capable of releasing. Cautiously, I asked, "Senior, what do you want with me?". He had been dodging my question for quite some time already, it's time he began answering my questions.
His long hair billowed as he replied, "Girl, you will learn that you're nothing in the grand scheme of things. You don't need to know my purpose in residing within your mental space; you only need to know that me being here is not detrimental to you in any way. In fact, I can offer you knowledge and techniques if you're willing to pay a price. My only requirement, as of right now, is for you to swiftly gain power in any way possible."
Annoyed, I began glaring at him. Who is this entitled bastard and why is he here, in my mental space. Barely suppressing my fury, I spoke through clenched teeth, "Senior. Please answer my questions. Who are you? Why are you here? And what is your purpose in interacting with me?"
Again, he lightly smiled, before replying, "Little girl, stop asking me questions I refuse to answer. You only need to know my presence is beneficial for you and that my only requirement is for you to grow stronger at a rapid pace. But since you're so pushy, I'll grace you with my name. It's Song Qing. Remember it well, girl." With that, the man disappeared, and a straw hut appeared in his place.
I walked up to the hut and tried to open it, but it was to no avail. With a humph, I disappeared from my mental space and awoke into the mortal world.
Hakan was peering in through the door when I opened my eyes. "Hey, Wu Xi, it felt like you broke through?"
Hakan has always been one of the most sensitive people to changes in the qi and surroundings. It's a good quality, which will be useful when we escape.
"Perceptive, An." I praised Hakan before getting up and off the bed. "How are Ixi and Smoke's plans going? Are we going to leave this damn place today?"
"Well... that prick Ulysses isn't going to come with us..." Hakan looked angry, almost murderous as he thought of Ulysses. I sighed. Of course, Ulysses would rather stay in this energy rich prison than go back to the mortal world, which, in comparison, was lacking in qi.
"Just ignore him, An. If he doesn't want to leave this dull prison, it's up to him." Besides, as long as I reach my fifth Heaven, I can ascend to the Continent of Space and Time, which as far richer in energy and qi than even this prison.
"So, I assume everything is ready." I quickly scanned the prison with my mental power, and I found Ixi, Smoke, Hail, and Quake waiting by the lobby. "I guess it's time to leave. I suppose the worms will be released when you, Quake, and Ixi trigger the alarms... It's such a hassle, can't we simply incapacitate them before we leave?"
Alarm flickered in Hakan's eyes. "Of course not! We can't kill them before they're released, or the jailers will be alerted!"
I yawned, and lazily remarked, "An, only you three even care about the jailers anymore. It's fine if they return early, at most I'll have some more practice using my third Heaven. Well, it's time to go. Otherwise, we we'll take too long and the jailers will be returning."
Two fiery wings appeared on my back, and I picked Hakan up as I passed through the doorway. Silently, I flew towards Ixi. "Let's go." I commanded before I dropped An and Ixi hopped onto my back. Hail and Smoke both formed their own wings (Hails' was made of ice and Smokes' was made of a greenish smoke that seemed like fire), and each of them grabbed another person.
We flew out of the entrance, and approached the gates. Ixi looked at them with grim eyes, and instructed Quake to create an Earth Spike below the iron wrought gates. He complied, and after 5 minutes, the gates were forced apart by the tall, pointed stake of earth that appeared beneath them. Gently, my wings flapped, and we flew out of the gates. At this moment, the worms were released.
F*ck. Hakan cursed when he looked back. There, hordes of the deadliest criminals on Element Continent emerged from the prison, ready to chase us down. They were already taking out their flying swords and forming their own clouds or wings to fly on.
"An, just wait and see. I'll show you how to take care of these sorry excuses for humans." I opened up both my Fiery Heaven and my Weapon Heaven. I created a titanium sword, which I coated with my heavenly flames. Wih a sneer, I launched it at the crowd. "Ugly things, DISAPPEAR."
BOOM! With a loud explosion, the sword hit its mark, the center of the horde, and exploded, blowing countless criminals apart.
An hour later
~~~~~~~~~~
We finally flew out of the island. Surrounding us was an ocean, as the Prisons of Draco are located on the Island of Mer, which is several kilometers away from the continent.
~~~~~~~~~~
In a mansion located in a valley filled with spiritual plants.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Has old man Song reappeared yet?"
"Yes, Master."
"Where?"
"In some minor continent, Master."
"Why is he there?"
"He seems to be... interested... in a young girl." The blond haired man with cool, mysterious golden eyes lowered his head and reported his recent discoveries.
BANG! The table rattled with the force. "What the hell is that pervert doing... Even implicating an innocent girl..." An azure robed man vehemently hissed his questions, his face covered in shadows.
"Master, she seems to be of *that* bloodline."
The azure robed mans' eyes widened in surprise. "Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"I see... what a smart move old Song has made... I just hope he doesn't draw her ire... or else he might not survive the next war..."
(1) An is a nickname for Hakan Wu Xi uses *shrug* idk why, I just thought it sounded more familiar.
(2) Smoke is short for Dragonsmoke
(3) Worms is referring to the criminals who purposely did their evil deeds, and the people who don't regret killing innocents; basically all of the prisoners Wu Xi doesn't consider 'decent' (the ones that don't have good/not twisted personalities.

Enjoy the chapter ^^
I hope my cliffhangers were ok... what if they aren't really that good? *sweats*
xD Today I failed a math competition... somehow I calculated the surface area of a shape instead of its volume... and that was the question worth 50% of the points... #fail.
