Chapter 2258 Freedom Of Heart

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Crack!

The crackling sound echoed in the prison, and everyone could see the chain around Yun Lintian's body snap into several pieces.

The eyes of the Mad Monk and the others widened in disbelief. Each of them was a notorious powerhouse who had seen many ups and downs, but at this moment, their minds went completely blank.

After thousands of years of imprisonment, they had completely given up on freedom. They wholeheartedly believed they would never have a chance to see the sun again in their lifetime. Now, the scene before them reignited the long-lost hope in their hearts.

"Phew..." Yun Lintian let out a long breath. He hadn't expected to break it on the first try.

Feeling his strength returning, Yun Lintian clenched his fists a few times and stretched his body. Next, he would use the spatial law to leave this place.

"Boy... No, Messiah! Please help us!" The Mad Monk knelt on the ground and clasped his hands together, looking at Yun Lintian with pleading eyes.

"Little... Handsome Young Master. Please take this little one away. I can do anything. Any position is fine." The red-haired woman said with a seductive expression.

The wizened old man and the scar-faced man didn't hesitate to kneel and kowtow to Yun Lintian. They would do anything as long as Yun Lintian helped them leave this hellhole.

Yun Lintian ignored everyone and channeled his power to break the door. He then went straight to the deepest area of the prison.

"Congratulations. You're indeed different from anyone I've ever seen." The White-Haired Demon opened his eyes and said with a smile.

Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said, "Junior Yun Lintian thanks Senior for the guidance."

"It's all due to your own effort." The White-Haired Demon responded. "You should leave now before it's too late."

Yun Lintian was surprised. He thought the old man would ask him to break the chain. It seemed he had misunderstood this person.

"May I know your name, Senior? And how did you end up here?" Yun Lintian asked boldly.

The White-Haired Demon stared at Yun Lintian for a moment and said, "Bai Ze. I've killed too many people."

Yun Lintian was about to say something, but the old man spoke further.

"I can see you have a kind heart. In my place, you would be considered a righteous man. But I can also see you're not entirely naive." Bai Ze said calmly.

He looked at the other prisoners and continued, "Each of them is a notorious demon who has reaped countless innocent lives. Including me, if you let us go, countless people would die again. Are you sure you want to set any of us free?"

The Mad Monk and the others were anxious upon hearing this, but they didn't dare to say anything. They couldn't help but curse inwardly. This old demon was about to ruin their chance.

Yun Lintian fell silent upon hearing this. There was indeed a conflict in his heart about whether he should help Bai Ze. After all, without him, Yun Lintian might not have been able to break the chain in time.

All the prisoners stared at Yun Lintian attentively, waiting for his decision.

Yun Lintian looked at Bai Ze and asked, "May I know the reason behind your killings, Senior?"

Bai Ze chuckled when he heard this. "Do you need a reason to kill people?"

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and shook his head. "There's no need for it, but not every killing is without reason. I'm not a law enforcer or a minister of justice. I am not innocent either. However, I do believe that anyone with a bottom line is considered human."

He turned to look at everyone and said, "Although I don't know what insidious deeds all of you have committed, I have my own judgment. I can see you are not completely mindless demons who take pleasure in killing."

The Mad Monk wanted to shout "yes" loudly, but he couldn't utter a word at the moment. He didn't expect Yun Lintian to think of them so highly after all the mockery he had made.

The red-haired woman and the others were no exception. They couldn't help but re-evaluate Yun Lintian. This young man wasn't as naive as they thought.

Yun Lintian turned to Bai Ze and asked, "So, do you want to leave, Senior?"

Bai Ze took a deep look at the young man in front of him. A shadow of his former self seemed to overlap with him. He used to be such a kindhearted and meticulous person, but things had changed on that fateful day.

"Are you aware of the consequences?" Bai Ze asked in a deep voice. "We are wanted criminals that the entire Primal Chaos despises. If they know you are helping us, you will be treated the same way. Not only that, but the people behind you will be implicated as well."

Yun Lintian smiled and said, "Do you know what, Senior? I used to be very cautious. Every step I took, I had to ensure my safety first. Even if I had to take a risk, I would make sure I could escape. But what was the ending? I was eventually caught off guard and lost my life in the most stupid way."

He laughed and shook his head when he thought of his past self. "Many Seniors told me to be bolder and take the chance to control my own fate. They told me I had everything in my hands to do whatever I wanted, but I didn't dare to do it because I was afraid of implicating them."

Yun Lintian paused for a moment and continued, his voice firm. "After I miraculously survived, I immediately realized that they were right. My approaches in the past were all wrong. I should be fearless and stand on top of everyone."

The Mad Monk and the others were surprised to hear this. They didn't expect such a young man to have gone through so many ups and downs in his life.

Bai Ze stared at Yun Lintian for a long time and said, "If that's the case, you should do as your heart desires."

Yun Lintian didn't say anything further. He raised his hand, and his divine energy quickly spread out.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Instantly, all the chains on the prisoners broke into pieces, returning freedom to them.

The Mad Monk was overjoyed that tears streamed down his cheeks. "Finally!"

The other prisoners were no different. They felt as if they were dreaming.

Bai Ze slowly got up from the ground. His tall body stood straight like a pine tree. "Since you want to know, I will tell you the reason."
