Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Frustrating to Death Without Compensation (1)_1

"You didn’t reveal your brother’s affairs, did you?" Dugu Qianye asked.

It was as if Diwuyan had fallen into painful memories, and it took a while before he could speak, "My father has already suspected my brother and me because only we could have known about this. Later, my brother framed me in front of my father at the exit, so everyone labeled me a traitor."

Being betrayed by a respected family member, and with such an accusation, one could imagine how Diwuyan felt.

After listening, Dugu Qianye remained silent for a moment before saying, "Then you escaped, and ran into us, which further confirmed your guilt. We are all in big trouble!" Dugu Qianye finished, giving him a sympathetic look.

Because of his capture, and they being implicated due to him, it was indeed a bout of rotten luck for all involved!

Diwuyan glanced at Dugu Qianye and Zi Xiao, recalling Dugu Qianye’s question, and only now did he remember to ask, "How did you get in here?"

"Why don’t you say we are the ones in collusion with your brother or sent by them?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"Although I don’t know who you are, I was clear-headed when I met you; it is impossible for you to have come from that passage," Diwuyan stated confidently.

"Why?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"Because that place is the farthest corner of the Abandoned Realm, opposite the exit," Diwuyan explained.

Dugu Qianye nodded, "I see. We went to the Spirit Void Secret Realm, and when we came out, we were transported here."

"Why didn’t you run towards the exit when you escaped, instead of in the opposite direction?" Zi Xiao asked. After all, one could only potentially leave this place by heading to the exit; otherwise, no matter where one is, they would be recaptured.

"I didn’t leave on my own will..."

Before Diwuyan could finish speaking, they heard the sound of the cell lock being opened.

"Creak—"

The sound of the prison door opening was followed by the voice of the prison guard, "The Little Prince is inside." It seemed the visitor was displeased with the guard’s words, and the guard quickly corrected himself, "The traitor and the outsiders he met are all inside."

Dugu Qianye and Zi Xiao looked at each other, then turned their gaze to the entrance, curious about who had arrived and interrupted their conversation.

Soon, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of their cell. As expected, he donned black garments, a face cover, and eyes that bore some resemblance to Diwuyan’s but with a cold and cruel gaze.

"Yan, welcome back!" Dili welcomed Diwuyan from outside the cell.

Looking at Dili, Diwuyan said, "What a cunning plan, brother!"

"Ha-ha, if it weren’t for this act, how would Father believe you’re a traitor? If you weren’t a traitor, why would you flee out of guilt? My dear brother, isn’t that right?" Dili laughed as he spoke.

"So, you had people take me out of the cell and let the guard army capture me? What a pity for those men!" Diwuyan said.

"What does it matter? If they hadn’t seemed eager to rescue you, how could anyone believe they were your men? They’re mere pawns; I don’t feel a loss," Dili replied. Noticing Dugu Qianye and Zi Xiao, he added, "I originally intended to frame you for fleeing out of guilt to substantiate your guilt as a traitor, but I did not expect you to actually encounter outsiders. I must say, your luck is impressively bad!"

Diwuyan glanced at Dugu Qianye and the others but remained silent. Dili continued, "Though I don’t know how you got in, running into him was your bad luck. Wait to descend into hell with him!"

As if he thought of something, Diwuyan asked, "How many have died recently?"

"Up to now, not a single one, but now that they’ve come, it’s only a matter of time. Once word of another death reaches us, you’ll have no chance to turn things around. The Enforcement Team will erect the execution pyre in the city center, bind you to it, light the flames, and watch you burn bit by bit. I’ll be praying for you down below," Dili said, his eyes alight with excitement at the thought. "Then, when I’m the sole prince, who else could vie for the throne?"

"Perhaps your parents will have another child!" Dugu Qianye interjected.

Zi Xiao chuckled at Dugu Qianye’s words, "That’s possible too. Maybe it’ll be the child they’ve always hoped for."

Is this not infuriating without the cost of recompense?

Looking at Dugu Qianye and the others, Dili spoke viciously, "Cherish your final moments while you can still speak, you two outsiders! His end will be your end too, and you will receive even harsher punishment, hmph!"

After boasting, Dili turned and left. Watching him go, Dugu Qianye asked, "Were you taken out by his men?"

Diwuyan nodded, "They disguised themselves as my subordinates to break the prison. I didn’t want to go, but they drugged me from the start, so I was taken out. Then, those people died fighting with the guards who came after us."

"So, you were caught without an alibi," Dugu Qianye said with palpable sympathy, "and to top it off, you had the misfortune of running into us."

"It’s odd," Diwuyan remarked.

"What’s odd?" Dugu Qianye asked.

Diwuyan looked at Zi Xiao and Dugu Qianye, then said, "You have been here for so many days, yet no one has died."

Dugu Qianye took out three Spirit Fruits, gave one to Zi Xiao, another to Diwuyan, bit into one herself, and commented, "Maybe they died in some hidden corner without your knowledge."

Diwuyan shook his head. "People from the Dark Clan have a kind of connection between blood relatives. If someone in the family dies, everyone would know. Even if we haven’t found the bodies, relatives would come to report it."

Then, everyone in the family must have died off," Dugu Qianye stated.

Diwuyan said no more, biting into the Spirit Fruit Dugu Qianye had given him and began chewing slowly, his mind deep in thought. After a long pause, he spoke again, "Actually, there is a way to lift our curse."

"What way?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"There was a prophecy that an outsider would appear, who would become our master. This way, we could escape the punishment of the curse and not live as slaves," Diwuyan revealed.

Seeing the strange look in Diwuyan’s eyes, Dugu Qianye almost choked. Zi Xiao had to pat her back before she caught her breath.

"You don’t think we are that outsider, do you?"

Diwuyan fell silent.

Dugu Qianye didn’t bother with Diwuyan any longer. After finishing the fruit, she began to practice cultivation. Fortunately, the Spiritual Energy here was sufficient for her practice, for otherwise she would feel extremely aggrieved.
