"That's not what I meant, Sir Sword Emperor."
Gopher King chuckled. "There's only one way out of here, and I'm afraid you'll need my help.
Therefore, I only have one request, and that is to trouble Your Excellency Sword Emperor to protect me. "
"You know the way out?"
Ling Xiao was a bit surprised.
His original plan had been to rescue Sword Eighteenth and Falling Moon, then figure out a way to leave.
He couldn't leave through the same entrance. After all, it was easy to get in, but not easy to get out.
He needed Dugu Batian's permission.
Dugu Batian wasn't stupid enough to let Sword Eighteenth and Falling Moon out.
"Deal!"
Ling Xiao agreed after a moment of thought.
With Gopher King leading the way, not only would it be easier to find Sword Eighteenth and Falling Moon, but it would also be easier to get out.
"You'd better not lie to me," Gopher King said. "If you do, I'll make sure you die a horrible death."
Ling Xiao glanced at the Gopher King and said, "Let's go. You lead the way, and I'll follow behind. You don't have to be afraid no matter what trouble you encounter. No one can do anything to you with me around."
"Alright."
Gopher King was ready to take a gamble.
There was no way he could get out of the Bloodthirsty Sword Mound on his own. Although the entrance wasn't guarded, the exit was guarded by the Bloodthirsty Sword Sage, the boss of the place, the Bloodthirsty Sword Sage.
The Sword Sage had guarded the Bloodthirsty Sword Mound for over a hundred years, and had never left.
That was why the outside world didn't know how powerful he was.
But Gopher King knew.
Someone had tried to escape, but the Bloodthirsty Sword Sage had chopped them up and fed them to a dog.
That dog was a bloodfang dog, a Second Stratum One Star Lifeseizer demonling, and as strong as a sword emperor.
Although he couldn't guarantee that Sword Emperor Goldenphoenix would be able to escape, at least there was hope.
He had to give it a shot.
With Gopher King leading the way, Ling Xiao didn't have to take many detours.
It didn't take long for them to reach the third floor.
After all, the prisoners on the third floor were all second division Lifeseizers.
Although it was faint, Ling Xiao could sense the auras of Sword Eighteenth and Falling Moon.
"Stop!"
Just as he was about to save them, a particularly coquettish woman with a whip in her hand blocked their path.
Beside this woman, there were two tall and mighty warriors who were more than three meters tall.
These two martial artists were both male. They wore iron headgear on their heads and looked very fierce.
But in the Profound World, what seemed to be fierce might not necessarily be so.
With the Taiji Eye, Ling Xiao easily detected the cultivation of these two people.
Both were in the second division of Lifeseizing.
Just like that woman.
"Who are you?"
The woman questioned.
"Can't Dugu Bajian allow me to visit the Bloodthirsty Sword Tomb?"
Ling Xiao said coldly.
"I've never heard of such an order. If you obediently put on your shackles and come with me to see the Bloodthirsty Sword Saint, I can spare your lives."
The woman said coldly.
"Then I'm sorry, I don't have time for that."
Ling Xiao sneered and pulled the Gopher King behind him. Then, he extended his hands forward and released sharp sword Qi from his fingertips, attacking the three of them at the same time.
He was here to save people, so how could he possibly allow himself to be captured?
"Kill him!"
The woman shrieked, backing up.
As for the two burly men, they pounced on Ling Xiao.
Slash!
Despite their thick skin, it was still difficult for them to resist the cursed sword qi released by Ling Xiao's hands.
The blood-red sword energy pierced through their bodies.
Ling Xiao didn't stop. He took a step forward and threw an uppercut at the guard, sending her flying into the ceiling.
"Let's go!"
The guard fell to the ground and fainted.
Ling Xiao called out to the Gopher King, and then he charged forward.
The Gopher King was shocked.
He had assumed that this self-proclaimed Sword Emperor Gold Phoenix was only in the second division of Lifeseizing.
Facing the female guard and her two subordinates would definitely be a tough fight, and he might not even be able to defeat them.
However, who would have thought that Ling Xiao would be able to take down the three of them so easily in just a few moves?
"Maybe it'll work!"
The Gopher King excitedly chased after him.
The third floor was different from what Ling Xiao had imagined.
There were prison cells on the first and second floors.
But the third floor didn't have anything like that.
Along the way, he saw several second division Lifeseizers leaning against the walls.
They weren't restrained, but their faces were ashen and filled with despair.
It was as if an invisible hand was choking them, making it impossible for them to escape.
Seeing them, Ling Xiao couldn't help but think of Falling Moon and Sword Eighteen.
'Please don't let anything happen to them.'
Ling Xiao screamed inwardly.
'It's the aura of Sword Eighteen's master!'
As the aura grew clearer, Ling Xiao confirmed that his intuition was right.
He turned a corner.
He finally saw Sword Eighteen.
At this moment, Sword Eighteen was tied high up on a huge rack.
He was on the verge of death.
Only a small portion of his true energy was left to sustain his life.
As for the rest, it had been completely sucked dry.
Even so, there were still a few people below who kept whipping Sword 18 with their whips.
"Damn it!"
When Ling Xiao saw this scene, he was furious to the extreme.
Without even thinking, he used Phoenix Soars Through the Nine Heavens to appear in the middle of the group. A sword appeared in his hand.
It was the Celestial Demon Sword that Madam Golden Phoenix had once used.
It was a treasured sword on the same level as the Demon Dragon Sword.
It belonged to the Golden Phoenix Sword Palace, so it wouldn't reveal his identity.
As soon as the Celestial Demon Sword appeared, blood-red sword light flashed.
There were a total of seven people, and before they could even understand what had happened, all of their heads had already fallen to the ground.
Ling Xiao quickly put Sword Eighteen down and examined him. He was in bad shape.
His internal energy had been depleted, and he couldn't heal himself. His injuries were getting worse.
With that in mind, he fed Sword Eighteen a Healing Pill.
Not only could it heal injuries, but it could also restore internal energy. This was the Recovery Pill.
Anyway, he had obtained a lot of materials from the last trip to the Ice Venerable's Forbidden Ground. He had refined a lot of Healing Pills, so he didn't have to worry about running out.
He swallowed a Healing Pill.
In just three to five minutes, Sword Eighteen had already woken up.
"Master!"
Ling Xiao shouted.
"You are the Golden Phoenix Sword Emperor? But why do you call me Master? "
Sword Eighteen was a little confused.
"I am Ling Xiao. I just changed my appearance."
Ling Xiao said through his soul.
He didn't know if anyone could see him, so it was better not to expose his true identity.
Dugu Bajian might not take the Golden Phoenix Sword Emperor's rebellion seriously.
After all, the Golden Phoenix Sword Emperor had reached the limit of his martial arts. It wasn't that easy to improve.
But Ling Xiao was different. He was so talented that he even defeated Dugu Bajian.
