Chapter 2259 Reason

Yun Lintian and the others turned to look at Bai Ze, waiting for his explanation.

Among the prisoners, the Mad Monk seemed to know a bit about Bai Ze's background, which was why he was so afraid of him. The others had witnessed Bai Ze's cruelty over the past thousands of years. Many new prisoners who tried to cause trouble ended up dead.

"I came from the Heavenly Bai Clan, which served under the God of Fortune's command," Bai Ze began. "Around three hundred thousand years ago, a coalition of top clans in the Holy Lands framed and annihilated my clan. Their target was the Bai Clan's primordial artifact, the Book of Fate."

He looked at Yun Lintian and said calmly, "I was the only survivor."

Yun Lintian's pupils shrank. Clan extermination was not a foreign concept to him, but it still shocked him. Bai Ze was at a True God, meaning his Bai Clan was immensely powerful. That such a powerful clan could be wiped out so easily was indeed shocking.

The Mad Monk and the other prisoners cowered even more upon hearing this. Most had heard rumors about Bai Ze's past. He was called the White-Haired Demon for a reason, and now that person stood before them.

"Naturally, those people didn't let me go easily. They continued to hunt me down. My friends avoided me, and some were implicated. They were so ruthless that they didn't even spare those who used to be close to me," Bai Ze said, his eyes flickering with murderous intent.

Yun Lintian was inwardly shocked. The killing aura emanating from Bai Ze surpassed anyone he had ever met. Millions had undoubtedly lost their lives at his hands.

"I was forced into a corner and had no choice but to retaliate. Since then, I began slaughtering their families, friends, and every living being related to them," Bai Ze continued.

The Mad Monk and the others shuddered, their faces pale as they recalled the news they had heard. Bai Ze's methods were inhumanely cruel.

However, they were in no position to criticize him. They would likely do the same in his position.

Yun Lintian remained silent. He could understand Bai Ze's mood and actions very well, having experienced the loss of loved ones himself.

"Do you regret it now? You unleashed a monster," Bai Ze asked with a faint smile.

"One of his shadows?" Yun Lintian was surprised. How could Yin Ye escape his Eyes of Heaven?

"His real body is a True God. The Yin Ye you saw was certainly his shadow," the Mad Monk explained.

Yun Lintian was startled. He hadn't expected Yin Ye to be a True God.

"Thank you for the information, but I don't need everyone's help," he said gently.

"Are you sure? Although we haven't fully recovered, it wouldn't be difficult for us to protect you," the Mad Monk asked while glancing at Bai Ze.

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly and carefully looked at everyone again. To his surprise, everyone was actually a True God, but their strength had been entirely suppressed previously.

Yun Lintian was speechless. Since when were True Gods as common as trees? It was no wonder they were all imprisoned together.

He thought for a moment and said, "I plan to enter the Holy Lands. What about you, Seniors?"

"Oh? Why do you want to go there?" The Mad Monk asked, quickly changing the topic. "By the way, I'm Que Zang. I would also go back to the Holy Lands."

"I'm Ji Xiaoman. You can call me Sister Xiaoman," the red-haired woman said with a charming smile. "Of course, I can go with you, little brother."

"Leng Er," the scar-faced man said simply.

The wizened old man stroked his beard and said, "I'm Liang Sun. I'm going to visit a brothel."

Ji Xiaoman glanced at him with disgust.

Just as Yun Lintian was about to say something, two figures suddenly walked into the prison.
