Lu Jinyan gritted his teeth in anger and glared at the snake demon.

"You son of a bitch had to go first!"

"It would've been the same if you guys had gone first." The snake demon was stressed too.

"This dungeon is full of jailers and guards. Just getting out of the cell is no use. We were too naive! Now that they know of our escape, we are probably not going to make it." Lu Jinyan looked at Aji behind him.

"What do we do? You have a lot of ideas, think of something!" Aji then stepped out of the cell and eyed the snake demon.

"I told you to cooperate with us. We help you open your door and you open ours. I never said you'd be able to get out on your own." The snake demon snickered,

"What? Do you think the three of you can fight your way out?"

Aji laughed. "Not the three of us. I alone can do it."

She summoned her demonic power and black gas filled the air. Lu Jinyan and the snake demon both looked at her in shock.

At this time, a guard charged forth and slashed against the black cloud with his large sword. But it was like slashing against solid steel. With a loud clang, the blade curled and broke.

The black cloud then waved and threw the guard backward, landing on others approaching from behind. They all fell down into a pile.

The black gaseous cloud around Aji then fluttered and gradually coalesced into three tails behind her. The male disguise was her third face which gave her the power of three tails, but Aji knew it was enough to deal with these prison guards.

Lin Haoqing had told her before that she was very powerful, but Aji did not really know exactly how powerful. After she fought the burly man with an axe by the mountain stream, she knew she could take on ten such demons with her current body.

When she was trapped by the oryoki, it was because it had taken her by surprise. And afterwards, it was the sudden headache she felt when facing that monk that got the better of her. Else they would not have been able to capture her so easily...

"Let's go," Aji said. But both the snake demon and Lu Jinyan just stood there and looked at her.

"Kid, you're this powerful?" Lu Jinyan said with a bit of shock.

The snake demon also blinked for a moment and said, "If you have this kind of power, why not fight your way to the main hall, kill the jiaoren and become the Lord of the North yourself?"

"Have you guys fought with him before?" They shook their heads, and Aji laughed. "Then how do you know I can beat him? I don't want to die. I'm not staying in the north, let's go our separate ways after we get out. I still have to go back to the south."

.. ...

With Aji in front, they gloriously left the dungeon before backup could arrive. All the way into the forest of the Northlands. Aji collected her tails and grabbed Ji Ning who still had a face full of confusion from waking up in the middle of their run.

"We will part ways here, it'll be too eye catching if we remain together. You guys probably can't stay in the north anymore. If you have nowhere else to go, you can head south and wait for me at the little village by the Demon Valley. We can make plans there."

Lu Jinyan clasped his hands and bowed to her, "I will never forget your help today. You are different from other demons. I, Lu Jinyan, will remember you."

The snake demon flashed Lu Jinyan a dirty look and said to Aji, "Escaping from the dungeon only saves us from the execution in two days. There is not much to look forward to out there in the human world either. We can only hope to live day by day. Little brother fox demon, remember what you said in the dungeon, do not use your great power without due consideration. Take care, and farewell." Aji nodded.
