"Grandpa, stop sighing and help me figure out how to escape. What is this thing they've bound me with? It's too strong."
"That's a second-grade demonic artifact, a restraint type. It's not difficult to break free from."
"How do I break free?" Zhou Hong asked urgently.
"Have you forgotten? You possess World Power. Even if it's only the power of one star, this second-grade restraint artifact is not enough to trap you."
"Huh!" Zhou Hong only then remembered. If his grandpa hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten he had the power of one star.
Just as Zhou Hong was about to break free from his restraints, it sounded like someone was coming down into the basement.
Zhou Hong immediately stopped moving. If they discovered he had World Power, it would be even more troublesome.
"Miss, please choose one to eat first," the person who came down was none other than the butler and the City Lord's daughter.
"Mm." The City Lord's daughter scanned the six people and finally pointed at one of the youths, saying, "Let's eat him first."
"Alright."
The next second, the butler grabbed that person and, with a palm strike to his head, sliced off a small portion of his crown. His head became like a basin, and Zhou Hong saw bloody brain matter swirling inside his skull.
However, the youth did not scream in pain.
The City Lord's daughter took out a spoon and scooped out the brain matter. The subsequent scene was unbearable.
Under Zhou Hong and the others' watchful eyes, the City Lord's daughter ate all of the youth's brain matter, and the youth died completely.
"Alright, the remaining five will be kept for the next few days, one per day."
"Yes, Miss. I will keep a close eye on them."
With that, the butler and the City Lord's daughter left the basement again.
"Wuwuwu, City Lord, you're not human." The other people beside Zhou Hong cried out in despair.
"Everyone, stop shouting," Zhou Hong said exasperatedly.
"Why are you acting so high and mighty? You're about to have your brain matter eaten alive, and you're not even panicking?" the other youths cursed angrily, thinking Zhou Hong was feigning calmness.
"If you don't want to die, then stop shouting. Otherwise, I won't save you."
"Brother, do you have a way to escape?" The remaining people immediately stopped shouting, their eyes filled with longing as they looked at Zhou Hong.
"Nonsense. If I didn't have some skills, why would I say I'd save you?"
After speaking, Zhou Hong instantly used his World Power, and the demonic artifact binding him shattered.
At that moment, on the ground, the old butler suddenly cried out, "Not good."
"What is it?" the City Lord's daughter beside the butler asked with confusion.
"Miss, something is happening in the basement. One of the five bound individuals shattered my restraint artifact."
"What? That's a second-grade demonic artifact. How could they...?"
"Miss, although I don't know how they did it, one of those five people in the basement is definitely not ordinary." Su Dan novel network
"Then what do we do?"
"You go back first. This old servant will handle it."
Meanwhile, in the basement, Zhou Hong's grandfather said, "By shattering someone else's demonic artifact, they'll sense it immediately. They're already on their way. You need to think of a solution quickly."
Zhou Hong was also filled with tension. The old butler's strength was that of a second-grade demonic master.
This meant that even if Zhou Hong used his World Power, he would be no match.
"Grandpa, I don't have any ideas right now. I can only try to use my immortal mansion to capture this butler," Zhou Hong said urgently.
"Haha, that's no problem at all. Your immortal mansion is a cage-type immortal artifact. And as long as you can capture him, he won't be able to get out easily."
"Mm-hmm."
"Quickly set up a trap on his path. Open the door of your immortal mansion. He'll have no defenses and will surely step right into it."
"Okay."
Zhou Hong immediately took out his immortal mansion and placed the entrance to it at the basement's entrance. As soon as the butler stepped in, he would be directly led into the immortal mansion.
After doing all this, Zhou Hong waited. Soon, he heard footsteps.
About ten seconds later, the basement door opened, and the old butler walked in. Although he entered cautiously, he still stepped into the immortal mansion's entrance.
The moment he stepped inside, a powerful force seemed to instantly pull him in. With a bang, the immortal mansion's door closed.
"Haha, success!" Zhou Hong laughed and placed the immortal mansion in his palm.
Through the immortal mansion's transparent barrier, Zhou Hong saw the old man inside, as tiny as an ant.
"How can this be?" the old man stood at the entrance of the immortal mansion's main hall, completely bewildered.
"Old ghost, stay put inside. You wicked old man who aided evil. You think you can eat my brain matter? You don't even know who you are dealing with." Zhou Hong's voice echoed into the immortal mansion.
The old butler finally realized he had been captured by a cage-type immortal artifact. He immediately tried to struggle out and attacked the immortal mansion repeatedly. However, Zhou Hong's immortal mansion was not that fragile, and the old butler did not have enough strength to break it.
Zhou Hong ignored the old man and put away the immortal mansion.
At this moment, the other four bound youths looked at Zhou Hong with awe. They could only wait to be slaughtered, while Zhou Hong not only escaped but also captured the old butler. Truly remarkable people are remarkable wherever they go. Of course, they envied Zhou Hong even more, to possess such a powerful immortal mansion at the realm of a first-grade demonic person.
"Brother, please save us quickly." The other four immediately pleaded with Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong hesitated for a moment, then decided. They were all chosen and bound together, so it could be considered fate.
Therefore, Zhou Hong shattered the restraint artifacts on the four of them. It was a pity for the demonic artifacts.
"Thank you, brother. We will never forget your great kindness," the men quickly kowtowed to Zhou Hong.
"Alright, you guys should leave quickly. I still need to deal with the City Lord's daughter," Zhou Hong said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the other four were impressed to the point of prostration. He actually intended to deal with the City Lord's daughter.
"Brother, please listen to my advice and run with us. She is, after all, the City Lord's daughter," one of the youths advised.
"Are you fools? If the City Lord's daughter isn't dealt with, even if we escape, we won't have a chance to live. The City Lord's daughter remembers what we look like, and with the City Lord's power, finding us would be easy. Therefore, we must capture the City Lord's daughter so that no one will know about us."
