"Help them stop the bleeding." Ah Jin's voice rang out in Ji Dong's ears. Ji Dong's reaction wasn't slow either. In an instant, he kept the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon back into his Core of Life. At the same time, his figure flickered, and he followed closely behind Ah Jin. He brushed the backs of the eight people's necks, and Yin Fire Devilish power silently seeped in to block the blood vessels around their wounds. This way, there wouldn't be any blood flowing out.
After they were done with this, the clouds dispersed. The two of them didn't need to communicate with each other. They had already entered the cave.
The entrance of the cave was very big, and the passageway inside was also very wide. Otherwise, Du Sikang wouldn't have been able to enter on his Frost Earth Dragon.
This process sounded complicated, but in reality, it was completed in a short five minutes. From afar, the eight Ming Gang members were still standing there. They just wouldn't occasionally move around the entrance of the cave. As long as the sentries in the distance didn't walk over, they wouldn't discover anything wrong with them. The Demonic Alliance's defense system was very tight, but the extreme combination of Ji Dong and Ah Jin was even stronger. They still entered the cave.
The cave was very dry. As soon as they entered, Ji Dong gave Ah Jin a thumbs up and said, "You're so professional. You must have been an assassin in the past." It was very easy for him to kill those people. However, Ah Jin had taken the lives of those Devil Masters without anyone noticing. She had even arranged for the eight of them to stand still. This ability wasn't something that Ji Dong could do.
Ah Jin glanced at him. She didn't seem pleased at all. She said, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and find that person."
Ji Dong knew Ah Jin's temper very well. He wasn't angry even after being rebutted. He waved his hand and said, "Follow me."
The two of them snuck forward. The defense outside the cave was tight, but it was much more relaxed inside. Perhaps it was because those people from the Demonic Alliance were watching Du Sikang enter together.
With the powerful spiritual undulations released by Ji Dong's Spiritual Fire, he didn't even need to use his eyes to accurately grasp every hidden spot in the cave. Ajin was gradually getting used to Ji Dong's Spiritual Detection, and her coordination with it became better. With Ji Dong's help, her concealment and assassination techniques were unleashed to the maximum. The two of them did not stop at all. Wherever they passed, no one was left alive. Ajin even used her magic power to drill directly into the wall, causing the golden blade to drill out of the rock to kill the enemy. Without the strength of Six Crowns or above, it was impossible to sense the fluctuations of her magic power when she completely concealed her aura. How could a Magician used as a sentry have the strength of a Six Crowns?
The cave was very deep, as if it had been drilled directly into the belly of the mountain. The wide cave clearly had traces of being excavated by someone. On both sides of the cave, there were magic lamps powered by the crystal cores of low-level magical beasts, illuminating the cave very brightly.
Along the way, Ajin killed another ten or so people before she truly entered the inner part of the cave. Light shone brightly in the distance, and faint voices could be heard.
Ajin Hyōhime pointed upwards and leapt up first. She silently stuck to the top of the tunnel, and used the sharp claws formed by her magic power to stick closely to the top of the cave before she continued forward.
Ji Dong also leapt into the air like Ajin. He didn't have the strength of Ajin's magic power, but he had shocking strength. He channeled his magic into his limbs and stuck closely to the top of the cave. With every step he took, his fingers and feet would directly imprint into the rock. Without a doubt, he used up more magic than Ajin, and his speed was slightly slower. However, it was enough for the current situation.
Very soon, they arrived at the edge of the tunnel. When the two looked in, they couldn't help but reveal expressions of shock. At the end of the wide path was a huge cave in the belly of the mountain. There were all sorts of strange stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, and water droplets fell from them from time to time. Compared to the tunnel they had passed through before, this was clearly a naturally formed cave. The top of the cave was forty to fifty meters tall, and there were strange rocks everywhere.
Ji Dong already had a slight understanding of the origins of this place. Without a doubt, this cave was naturally formed, but the original entrance shouldn't have been that wide. The people of the Demon Alliance had dug a path to the entrance based on the original natural cave and widened the entrance, which was why it had its current scale. It was obviously difficult to imagine that they would build such a base in a place with a low temperature like the Northern Mang Mountain. Furthermore, this was only a natural cave that was used as a temporary shelter. Even if they gave it up, there wouldn't be too much of a loss.
At this moment, Du Sikang was still sitting on the back of his Frost Earth Dragon. His expression was very cold. There were a dozen or so people standing in front of him. The person at the front was not masked. It was actually a young woman in her prime. She was dressed in black, and her long gray hair draped over her back. Strangely, her long gray hair actually gave off a sparkling luster, like gray crystal threads. It was extremely strange and unforgettable.
Beside this gray-haired woman, there was an old man standing on the left and right. These two old men looked exactly the same. They were a pair of twins. They were both tall and had sinister faces. However, their auras were extremely grand. The powerful pressure made Du Sikang, who was sitting on the back of the Frost Earth Dragon, not dare to act rashly.
Behind the three people at the front, there were at least twenty Demon Masters gathered there. This did not include the people standing in the various corners of the cave. Almost all of the powerful auras that Ji Dong had sensed in the air were gathered here.
"Du Sikang, quickly hand over the Vast Sea Jade Nectar, and we will let you and your family go. Although the Demon Alliance acts according to our mood and doesn't care about the hypocrisy of the outside world, we will definitely keep our word. Although the Vast Sea Jade Nectar is good, can it compare to the lives of your Bartenders Guild?"
The girl at the front of the Demon Alliance looked at Du Sikang coldly and said. Her voice was full of pressure. Ji Dong was surprised to find that the girl's voice contained a strong spiritual wave. Although it could not be compared to his Soul Fire, it could still intimidate people.
Du Sikang said in a deep voice, "The Vast Sea Jade Nectar is the biggest secret of our Bartenders Guild. Can you tell me how you know about the existence of the Vast Sea Jade Nectar?"
The girl said indifferently, "There's no harm in telling you. Anyway, your Bartenders Guild is meaningless to me from now on. Don't you know what a traitor is? You may be tight-lipped, but it doesn't mean that your family will be tight-lipped. If you hand over the Vast Sea Jade Nectar and return alive, whoever you see disappear will naturally be the one who told me this secret. "
"It's hard to guard against a thief in the family. I didn't expect it to be a thief in the family." Du Sikang said fiercely, "Alright, I'm willing to use the Vast Sea Jade Nectar to exchange for the people you kidnapped. However, you have to let me see them first before I can exchange with you." As he spoke, Du Sikang flipped his wrist and two wine bottles appeared in his hand.
The two wine bottles were exactly the same, and their styles were strange and ancient. From the looks of it, they looked like two boats. The two boats were a deep blue color, and the carvings were extremely detailed. They were extremely precious works of art. As soon as Du Sikang took them out, the temperature in the entire cave suddenly dropped. From their bodies, a strong cold air was emitted, and there was a faint halo of light circulating within. This was definitely a supreme treasure. Even for Ji Dong, this was the first time he had seen such a thing.
Du Sikang held the two strange wine bottles with a serious expression. He said, "Since you know about the existence of the Vast Sea Jade Nectar, you should naturally know that it must be stored in the Deep Sea Dragon Jade. The Deep Sea Dragon Jade is extremely cold and is the most precious treasure of the sea. Any ornament made from it will be extremely beneficial to the cultivation of Water Element Demon Masters. However, the Deep Sea Dragon Jade has a weakness, and that is, it is very brittle. Once there is a slight forceful collision, it will shatter, especially a bottle like the one in my hand. Although I'm definitely no match for you, I, Du Sikang, am also a Seven Crown Demon Master. I can't guarantee anything else, but before you defeat me, I'm confident that I can shatter these two bottles. Now that I'm here and the Vast Sea Jade Nectar is here, you can release the people from my guild. After they leave the mountain, my people will receive them outside the mountain. When I receive the signal, I will hand over the Vast Sea Jade Nectar to you. Otherwise, I'll take you down with me today. Even if my Bartenders Guild is completely destroyed, I won't let you have your way."
Du Sikang's words were resolute and there was no room for negotiation. Ji Dong and Ajin, who were hiding on the roof of the tunnel, could not help but secretly nod.
The grey-haired girl frowned slightly. She turned around and whispered to the twins beside her. Then, she turned to Du Sikang and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say. Someone, bring all the people from the Bartenders Guild to me. Let President Du Sikang watch them leave."
Hearing the grey-haired girl's order, someone immediately walked into the depths of the cave. After a while, nearly a hundred people had been brought out. Every one of them was handcuffed and shackled, and they looked exhausted. They only became excited when they saw Du Sikang.
"President, President …"
"Sikang …"
"Dad …"
A beautiful middle-aged woman walked in front with a young girl. When she saw Du Sikang, she immediately exclaimed.
Du Sikang was indeed the president of the Bartenders Guild. Seeing his wife and daughter, his expression did not change. He said, "You guys leave quickly. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
The young girl immediately pounced over and said, "Dad, I'm not leaving. If I want to leave, we'll leave together." Unfortunately, she was stopped by a Magician from the Demonic Alliance and could not get close.
The grey-haired girl from the Demonic Alliance said, "President Du Sikang, you saw it too. Your wife, daughter, and the family members of the Magician Alliance did not lose a single hair. We want the Vast Sea Fine Wine and are not interested in the old, young, women, and children. Our Demonic Alliance also has a principle. We will not kill the old, young, women, and children. Now, can we start the trade?"
Du Sikang nodded and said, "Okay, get someone to send them out of the mountain. When they reach the Northern Mang Mountain, there will naturally be people from our guild to receive them. After receiving them, my people will give your people a token. When they bring it back, it proves that they are safe. Then, I will give you the Vast Sea Fine Wine. The things that you and I want are all here. Is it enough as a hostage?"
The grey-haired girl smiled and said, "Okay, President Du is a smart person. We won't waste time with you. We will do as you say. Fatty Six, bring a few people and send them out. Once you get the token, come back immediately."
"Yes, Alliance Leader." A fat, ball-shaped magician jumped out and waved his hand to point at a few people. He pushed the women and children of the Bartenders Guild out. Du Sikang's wife pulled her daughter with tears streaming down her face. In the end, they still left. When the girl left, she looked at her father with eyes filled with despair.
Ji Dong and Ah Jin, who were hiding on the wall, looked at each other at the same time. They knew very well that if these people from the Magician Guild walked into the tunnel and saw the situation outside, it would be troublesome. Ji Dong's expression was firm and ruthless. He gave Ah Jin a look and both of them were ready to attack at the same time. As soon as the old, young, women, and children of the Bartenders Guild entered the tunnel, they would attack. They would first kill these people with lightning speed and then seal the cave door to prevent the people from the Demonic Alliance from chasing after them. Anyway, the sentry outside had been cleared. Naturally, there would be a big battle next. Although it was different from the original plan, Ji Dong and Ah Jin were extremely confident in their own abilities.
However, the grey-haired girl's next sentence made the two of them stop what they were about to do.
"Fatty Six, bring them to the back of the mountain. There might be some experts from the Bartenders Guild monitoring our Northern Mang Mountain from the sky. We can't let them determine how many entrances and exits our temporary base has."
"Yes." After agreeing respectfully, Fatty Six led a few Magicians to escort the people from the Bartenders Guild and left in another direction.
Ji Dong and Ah Jin looked at each other. What they had to do now was to continue waiting until the Magician called Fatty Six sent news that the hostages were safe. Without these hostages as a burden, what they had to do next was to retreat with Du Sikang and the Vast Sea Fine Wine. It would be much easier than taking action now.
Before they came, they had already thought of a few plans. Ji Dong even included the Intermediate Ultimate Skill Scroll that he had on him. He was going to help the Bartenders Guild get through this crisis at all costs. Apart from his sense of justice, he was also a little selfish in helping the Bartenders Guild. It was impossible for him not to be interested in the Vast Sea Fine Wine that was ranked third on the list. However, he would not rob it by force like the Demonic Alliance. Instead, he would fight for it in a proper way. A bottle of Source of Life was not comparable to a bottle of Vast Sea Fine Wine. However, what if he added a priceless Intermediate Ultimate Skill Scroll in the exchange? To Ji Dong, no matter how powerful the Magic Scroll was, it could not be compared to the top-notch wine that he desired. To Ji Dong, the Vast Sea Fine Wine was not to be used as a Mana Potion. It was just a wine that was to be appreciated and tasted.
As time passed, Ji Dong's mind gradually tensed up. The crucial moment was coming.
