75 Duan Jian's Request

Alan's transformation into the Divine Winged White Tiger was swift and seamless.

With a graceful fluidity, he executed the White Tiger's Dance, an intricate combination of movement and combat techniques. His body moved unpredictably, flowing like a dance as he unleashed the power of the white lightning element.

The experts from the three families stood little chance.

Alan's devastating strikes, his lightning-fast movements, and the relentless flow of attacks left them overwhelmed and in disarray.

One by one, they fell, unable to withstand the might of a Legend Rank Demon Spiritualist.

With his foes defeated and at his mercy, Alan demanded answers. "Who are you people? Explain your families and your presence in this realm."

Alan stood over the subdued experts, his piercing gaze demanding answers. After a moment's hesitation, the Patriarch of the Silver Winged Family, Sikong Yi, spoke, "We are descendants of survivors from the Age of Darkness. Our ancestors sought refuge in the Abyss Prison Realm to escape the devastation that plagued the outside world."

Li Xiao, the Patriarch of the Divine Flames Family, continued, "Over the centuries, thirteen families were established within this realm, but the Divine Flames Family, Silver Winged Family, and Ash Wolves Family emerged as the most powerful among them."

Mo Ya, Patriarch of the Ash Wolves Family, added, "We came here to investigate a strong commotion that indicated the presence of a Legend Rank. We had no idea who you were or your intentions."

Alan listened attentively, absorbing the newfound knowledge. It was clear that the Abyss Prison Realm held more secrets and history than he had initially suspected, and there was much more to discover about this enigmatic place.

Alan's then revealed, "I am Shen Yue. Me and my girlfriends came here from the Main Continent. Now, one of you lead us to your residence. We want to check out this realm."

His tone was commanding, leaving no room for objections or hesitations. The experts, having experienced his overwhelming power, had little choice but to comply.

Sikong Yi, Patriarch of the Silver Winged Family, nodded and gestured for his group to lead the way. "Follow us."

The journey to the Silver Winged Family's residence was relatively short, as it was the closest to their current location. Sikong Yi led the way with the utmost respect, ensuring that Alan, Xiao Ning'er, and Ye Ziyun were comfortable during the walk.

As they arrived, Sikong Yi guided them to a lavish guest chamber, decorated with opulent furnishings. He turned to address them with courtesy, "Please consider this your home. Get some rest, relax, and take your time."

Alan, still maintaining his dominant aura, gave a dismissive snort and waved his hand. "You can leave now."

Sikong Yi, accustomed to dealing with powerful figures, nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Once they were alone, Alan turned to Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Well, it seems we've found a place to stay for a while. Let's rest for a bit, then we can explore this Abyss Prison Realm together."

In the following days, the trio explored the Abyss Prison Realm, but it became apparent that there wasn't much to see or do in this small, enclosed world. The constant tensions between the families were a recurring theme, but it seemed the resources in this realm made it worth their struggle.

Alan had a particular interest in the Blood Crystals found in the mines within the realm. He seized as many as he could, using his system to refine them before handing them over to Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er to boost their cultivation.

With his protective traps set up in their chamber, Alan felt confident in their safety, even from a distance. He had the power to instantly teleport to their side if they were ever in danger, thanks to his insight into the Supreme Law of Space.

As for himself, Alan roamed the Silver Winged Family's domain, searching for something that might pique his interest. However, nothing seemed to catch his attention until he decided to employ the Heavenly Eye. With the ability to use it only once a month, Alan wanted to ensure it was worthwhile.

The Heavenly Eye led him to a specific spot within the Silver Winged Family's territory, where he saw a mysterious yellow light enveloping a youth.

Alan's system, Zila, provided him with a crucial piece of information about this youth.

[The youth is a hybrid with a mutated bloodline of the Black Dragon. He possesses exceptional potential and is one of Nie Li's possible supporters.]

Alan raised an eyebrow, a sly grin tugging at the corners of his lips. He had no intention of letting this promising individual go to waste. With newfound purpose, he decided to approach the youth and turn him into his slave.

In the field, as Duan Jian endured the painful and degrading whipping, the Silver Winged Family's youths took pleasure in their sadistic act.

Their cruelty stemmed from a long-standing grudge against Duan Jian's father, a member of the Black Dragon Family, and their relentless pursuit of his dragon bloodline.

They had subjected Duan Jian to torturous experiments, leaving him with both physical and emotional scars. To make matters worse, they had implanted a demon spirit within him, causing unimaginable suffering.

Alan's arrival in the field though changed the dynamic of what was going on in the field. His intimidating presence struck fear into the hearts of the youths, and they scattered, fleeing from his wrath.

As they dispersed, Alan stepped forward and approached Duan Jian. There was an unspoken understanding between the two, and Alan didn't waste any time in getting to the point.

"Submit to me," Alan said, his tone direct and commanding.

Duan Jian, still recovering from the shock of Alan's intervention, replied without hesitation, "I will, as long as you help me kill Sikong Yi and destroy the Silver Winged Family."

To his surprise, Duan Jian was met with a feral grin on Alan's face. "That's all? That's easy to do."

Duan Jian couldn't shake the feeling that something was different about this man. He wasn't a member of the Silver Winged Family, that much was clear.

Duan Jian's astonishment grew as he realized the ropes binding him had been mysteriously slashed, setting him free. His savior, Alan, spoke with determination in his voice, "Follow me. I will destroy this family right before your eyes. As for that Sikong Yi, it seems that there is a heavy grudge that you have for him. I will leave his fate in your hands."

With newfound hope and vengeance in his heart, Duan Jian followed Alan as they stormed into the council chamber of the Silver Winged Family. The sudden intrusion drew anger from all the important members present, except for Sikong Yi, who responded with utmost respect.

"Sir Shen Yue, what brings you here? Was there anything you disliked?" Sikong Yi spoke respectfully.

Alan made his intentions clear with a sly and devilish smile on his face, "I want to recruit this guy, and his request is that I destroy this family. So, I guess we are in an interesting situation. If you have something to say to make him change his mind, you all have this opportunity now. Because if you can't, I am afraid there will be no Silver Winged Family in this realm anymore."

The council chamber fell into a heavy silence, each member realizing the gravity of the situation as their fate rested on the outcome of this encounter.

As the members of the Silver Winged Family attempted to convince Duan Jian to change his mind, he retorted to each of their arguments with the haunting experiences he had endured.

His voice trembled with a mix of anger and grief as he recounted his history, "You speak of family unity, but it was your family that tortured and killed both my mother and father right before my eyes. My mother was one of your own, a Silver Winged Family member but still you didn't spare her."

Duan Jian continued, his eyes filled with pain and rage, "You captured me and subjected me to cruel experiments to extract our dragon bloodline. You implanted a demon spirit into my body, causing me unimaginable pain and suffering."

Each of the Silver Winged Family members found themselves at a loss for words as Duan Jian's tale unfolded. They tried to justify their actions, but their words were feeble in the face of the atrocities they had committed.

As he listened to Duan Jian's tragic history, Alan's resolve to destroy the Silver Winged Family grew stronger. He thought to himself, 'Looks like destroying such a family won't weigh on my conscience at all.'

"I will never forgive any one of you!" Duan Jian uttered darkly.

It was at this moment that Alan spoke with a slight grin, "That's all you need to say."

"…If you try to attack us, I will order my experts to kill those two women who have accompanied you, Sir Shen Yue," Sikong Yi spoke with a calm and deadly tone.

Unfortunately, he had no idea that he had just made the biggest mistake of his life by uttering these words.
