Chapter 58: Chapter 53: I will return for my ring!

Yao Jun was kneeling on the scaffold, overlooking the sea of people that had come to watch. Looking at the faces of the people that had come to watch, Yao Jun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in disappointment.

When he was young and lived in the Yao clan, they had ostracized him when they found his power to be useless. When he lived in Flying Fish Town, he was bullied for his lack of a good power. In Golden Moon Town he was deceived and used by others to make their own job easier, truly he had been the butt of many a joke.

After arriving at the Guanyu continent, he had seen exactly how the Human Race treated people belonging to the Demon Race and he had been attacked by robbers nearly every day. After arriving at the Great Xian City, he was attacked simply because the Anti-Demon Pillars registered him as a non-human, no one even bothering to ask him any questions.

And then again after he arrived at this Soaring Cloud City. He was attacked and kidnapped only hours after he arrived. He was then tortured for five days, all because he was friends with a certain person. And now all these people had shown up to watch his execution, their faces lit with excitement or curiosity.

He wasn't disappointed that Yun Yantian hadn't managed to stop the torture, if Yun Yantian was really that important to the clan, there was no way they would let him leave the clan to explore an ancient ruin. He was disappointed in how the people of this world degraded into this state.

Demon Race and Human Race constantly at war, sparing nothing to kill each other and humiliating and abusing anyone they manage to catch alive. People killing each other over the tiniest things, abusing those that are different from them.

If it was just people from different races and clans fighting, that would be one thing, but even people belonging to the same clan, the same family, were doing it. It happened to Yao Jun in the Yao clan, and it happened to Guo Luo in this Guo clan.

Yao Jun couldn't help but wonder if these were the kind of people that Sword Empyrean Heng Jiang wanted to save. Did these kinds of people even deserve to be saved? Wouldn't it be a favor to the entire universe to keep them locked on this planet? Or could it be that people all over the universe were like this? What worth was there in a universe like that?

Yao Jun shook his head again before turning his gaze onto Guo Luo who was standing next to him. His eyes flashed with a dim grey light that caused Guo Luo's own eyes to glaze over for a short second. Yao Jun saw the unknown hazy mist in her chest tremble fiercely when her eyes glazed over, but it quickly calmed down when her eyes became clear again. Once her eyes regained their clarity, she stood in silence for a short while before turning to look at Yao Jun and giving a short, but resolute nod.

Seeing her nod, Yao Jun's eyes flashed grey once more before he turned his eyes back onto the crowd, a faint mocking smile present on his face. He had been prepared to risk it all to escape from the dungeon, but now that they had brought him out here into this wide open area, it would be far easier for him to escape, all he had to do was wait for the right moment.

After Guo Jiahao saw that the Image Array was set up, he signaled the man in the grey robe, the executioner. Seeing his signal, the executioner stepped forward and pushed aside Guo Luo, taking her place next to Yao Jun. Guo Zhe stepped closer to Yao Jun, preventing him from moving to the left to escape. The executioner raised the two-headed axe above his head and swung it down with all his might.

The moment the executioner started swinging the axe downward, Yao Jun moved into action. The first thing he did was summon his gate, opening it directly beneath Guo Luo, causing her to fall into it. While he did that, he also moved his right arm, his gauntlets appearing and shattering the chains around his wrists. His hand reached towards Guo Zhe's leg, giving him no time to react since the two were so close to each other.

Right before Yao Jun's hand made contact with Guo Zhe's leg a simple, black sword appeared in his hand. The sword pierced through Guo Zhe's leg before he had a chance to react, a yelp of pain escaping his lips. Yao Jun returned the sword into his body and grabbed onto Guo Zhe's leg, pulling on it with all his might while moving his own body to the left, dragging Guo Zhe with him.

The end result was that when the axe struck down, it landed on Guo Zhe's leg, cutting it off with a single strike. While Guo Zhe's leg was chopped off, a grey light flew out from within the open gate. Little Gray quickly materialized above Yao Jun and grabbed onto his shoulders, grabbing him tightly.

Once its claws were around Yao Jun's shoulders, it flapped its wings and quickly ascended into the air, the gate vanishing from the ground. Yao Jun did not know if there was anyone in this city that had the power of flight or had a high enough cultivation level to fly, so he immediately had Little Gray fly away from the city.

"Guo Jiahao, I will return for that ring in the future, if anything happens to that ring, I will kill everyone from your Guo clan. And Guo Zhe, I will repay you for these scars one day, so you just wait for me."

Little Gray was simply too fast for anyone to react before they managed to process the situation, Yao Jun was already at the edge of the city, the only thing left behind was his hatred dripping voice.

After Little Gray flew over the city walls and Yao Jun saw that there was no one flying after them, he breathed out a sigh of relief. If there was someone there that was capable of flight, this escape would be much more arduous.

He signaled Little Gray to shift him onto it's back, which it managed by throwing him up into the air and catching him as he fell back down again. Once he was on Little Gray's back, he stretched out his hand, the gate appearing above his palm. The gate opened, and a white light flew out of the gate, Guo Luo appearing on the back of Little Gray.

"Brother Jun, where is this?"

Guo Luo sat down next to Yao Jun, curiously studying the surroundings. She had never flown before, so being so high up in the air and flying so fast was both exciting and scary.

"We're outside of the city already. This is Little Gray, the tiger earlier was Little Thunder, while the wolf was Sirius."

While he was talking, Yao Jun looked down at his hands and had the gauntlets sink back into his body, clenching his fists and shaking his arms a bit. He hadn't used them for the last few days so they felt rather stiff and unresponsive.

Guo Luo wasn't shocked at seeing Little Gray or the two other Demonic beasts inside the gate because Yao Jun had already told her about them. While they were on the scaffold, when Yao Jun's eyes first flashed with grey light, it was him dragging her into an illusion and asking her if she would escape if she had the chance.

When she nodded and accepted, his eyes flashed grey again. This time it was him dragging her into an illusion and explaining his plan to her. Since he explained his plan to her, he would naturally need to explain his power to her.

Yao Jun did not mind explaining his power to Guo Luo. She had nowhere else to go, so she would be traveling with him wherever he was going. He had also basically kidnapped her, taking her away from her family, so he felt that he at least owed her the truth. There was also the strange hazy fog in her chest, but when he asked her about it she had no idea what he was talking about.

He reached down with his arms and grabbed onto the restraints around his feet. The restraints were only normal iron, so they were destroyed with a single clench of his hands. After he broke the last of his restraints, Guo Luo took out a piece of clothing from her own interspatial ring. Since Yao Jun had lost his own interspatial ring, he obviously had no clothing of his own that he could put on, so he would have to use whatever Guo Luo could give him.

The piece of clothing was a pair of coarse, brown pants. They were too short for Yao Jun, but they covered up the parts that needed to be covered up to enter a city. After putting on the pants, Yao Jun sank into silence as he stared at the area around them. They had escaped, but they had nowhere to go, nor any money, their next step would be to find either of those things. Yao Jun also wanted to learn more about the hazy fog, but he had no idea how to even begin learning anything about it.
