These guards felt their bodies go numb and they stood stiffly on the spot, unable to move at all.
At this time, the human figure appeared in front of the guards with a blur. His entire body was covered in a faint black gas. After moving, he took a scarlet red key from the waist of one of the guards.
Following this, the human figure moved like the wind and opened the metal door behind him. In a flash, he disappeared inside.
Behind the metal door, there was a long and narrow flight of stairs leading downwards. Moreover, the air was abnormally turbid, as if it had not been ventilated for a long time.
However, the human figure ignored all of this. After moving his body, he rushed down the stairs. After turning a corner, he disappeared again.
A moment later, a few cries of surprise came from the depths of the stairs. Following this, there were no more sounds.
At the same time, the human figure, wrapped in black gas, walked in front of rows of tightly locked prison cells that were over a hundred feet underground. Through the thick, black bars, one could faintly see that most of the cells were empty and only a few seemed to be occupied.
When these people saw such a strange person suddenly rush in from the outside and subdue the nearby prison guards with one move, they could not help but be shocked.
However, the people who could be locked up in these cells were not commoners. Even so, most of them maintained a calm expression and did not yell or shout.
The human figure that had entered this place was naturally Liu Ming who had used a technique to sneak in.
To a normal person, this prison was considered to be heavily guarded. However, to a Late Spirit Apostle like him, it was filled with holes as if it was made of paper.
However, he did not want to alarm other cultivators, so he used a Concealment Glyph to make himself invisible in the eyes of mortals. Only then did he brazenly rush in.
At this moment, he walked past over a dozen prison cells and finally stopped at a certain corner. He looked at a man wearing a prisoner's uniform behind the bars and suddenly laughed.
"Are you Censor Chen, Lord Chen!"
"Who are you and how do you recognize me?" The prisoner's uniform on this man could be considered neat and tidy. His face also had a somewhat scholarly appearance. Hearing this, he asked with some surprise.
"Hehe, didn't you send a message to Martial Uncle Lei? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here." Liu Ming smiled and his mouth moved a few times. No sound came out but his words directly rang in the man's ears.
"What, so the token grandfather left behind was real. You really were sent by Immortal Master Lei! Are my wife and son okay? "Hearing this, Censor Chen could no longer maintain his calm and became excited.
"Don't worry, your wife and son are fine and have already left Xuanjing. After I bring you out, I will let your family reunite. "Liu Ming calmly replied.
"What, leave Xuanjing? Could it be that even with Master Immortal's face, I still cannot retain my official position? If I were to escape like this, wouldn't I really become a fugitive of the Imperial Court? "Censor Chen hesitated after hearing this.
Liu Ming frowned when he heard this answer, but he said faintly with a voice transmission,
"I have other matters to attend to in Xuanjing this time. Right now, I can't go out and interact with the people of the court. However, if you are really reluctant to part with your position in the Imperial Court, you can wait until you get out of the limelight and then ask Martial Uncle Lei to help you ask for it back from the Imperial Court. Who knows, you might even be able to rise to a higher level. However, if you don't want to leave now, I won't force you. However, in the future, you can only be responsible for your own life. "
"Immortal Master, please don't blame me. I was just muddle-headed. I have already offended so many people, how can I stay in Xuanjing as an official? I will go with Immortal Master to see my wife and the others. Not being an official is fine. "Hearing this, Censor Chen was shocked and quickly changed his mind.
"Very good, that is a wise choice. Sir Chen, please take a few steps back. " Only then did Liu Ming nod his head in satisfaction. After giving a few instructions, he suddenly took a step forward. "Pu, pu" sounds could be heard as he grabbed the black iron bars with both hands.
Seeing this, Censor Chen quickly moved to the side.
In the next moment, a red light appeared in Liu Ming's hands and a fierce scarlet flame appeared.
The iron bars, which seemed to be abnormally sturdy, melted into water in an instant, revealing a large hole that could fit a person.
"Many thanks, Immortal Master!"
Censor Chen was overjoyed and quickly came out of the hole.
"Follow me and I will bring you out of this place." After saying this, Liu Ming was about to lead the man to the exit.
However, at this moment, in another cell not far away, a prisoner suddenly threw himself onto the bars and hurriedly shouted:
"Brother Chen, I am Old Sun. Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Sir Immortal Master, please take me with you. If I am able to leave, I will definitely reward you handsomely. "This prisoner's hair was disheveled, but his voice didn't sound young.
"This …" Hearing this, Censor Chen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
"Who is he? Are you familiar with him?" Hearing this, Liu Ming swept a glance at the prisoner and lightly asked.
"It can't be said to be too familiar. It's just that after staying here, we empathize with each other and have some common topics to talk about. This Sir Sun is an official of the Royal Family's General Affairs Department. I've heard that he can barely be considered a relative of the Emperor. However, a year ago, he somehow angered the Emperor and was stripped of his position and imprisoned here. "Censor Chen finally reacted and explained to Liu Ming in a low voice.
"Since he isn't a familiar person, there is no need to pay attention to him. If I save you, the Gold Spirit Guests of the Royal Family will know that it was done by someone like them. They will most likely close one eye and not send a large number of people to capture you. However, if you bring another person, it will be hard to say. "After hearing this, Liu Ming replied without hesitation.
"Yes, we will listen to Sir Immortal Master." Censor Chen naturally did not have any objections.
Thus, the two of them turned around and were about to leave, ignoring the prisoner.
"Sir Immortal Master, please wait. I know a big secret. This secret not only involves the Royal Family, but it is also enough to decide the fate of the entire Da Xuan Country. Even the Immortal Masters may not be able to stay out of this." Once Sir Sun saw this, he anxiously shouted.
"What, what do you mean by that? Do you know what methods I will use to make you beg for death if you lie to me? " Hearing this, Liu Ming's heart finally moved. With a blur of his body, he appeared in front of Sir Sun's cell like a ghost and stared at him coldly.
"Sir Immortal Master, since I dare to say these words, I naturally have evidence." Although Sir Sun's hair stood on end from Liu Ming's cold stare, he still clenched his teeth and spoke.
"Very good. Remember what you said, I will believe you this once." Liu Ming stared at Sir Sun's face for a moment before nodding his head and speaking coldly.
Following this, a green light flashed in his hand and a short sword appeared. He cut the bars in front of him into seven or eight pieces.
Seeing this, Sir Sun was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Liu Ming.
"Everyone else heard what you said before. Since it is like this, we cannot just leave like this. We must also take care of the others. " After Liu Ming finished all of this, his gaze swept over the remaining four or five people in the other cells. His eyes flashed with sweat as he spoke.
"Sir Immortal Master, could it be that you want to …" Hearing the meaning behind Liu Ming's words, Censor Chen and the newly rescued Sir Sun's faces couldn't help but change.
The other prisoners in the other cells were originally shocked by Sir Sun's words. Now that they heard Liu Ming's words, everyone's faces paled.
"Don't worry, although I am not a mortal, I will not easily massacre the Royal Family's prison. Otherwise, I will only be looking for trouble for myself. I only plan on using a small spell to temporarily make them forget the previous scene. "Liu Ming laughed as he spoke.
"So it is like this. Many thanks for Sir Immortal's benevolence." Censor Chen let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed.
After Liu Ming waved his hand, he had already walked with large strides towards the other cell that held another prisoner. With a twist of his body, he squeezed through the bars as if he had no bones in his body.
The old man sitting inside immediately jumped in fright and couldn't help but stand up and take two steps back.
"You've heard the conversation we had outside. Do you want to cooperate with me or do you want me to help you completely escape from this world? "Liu Ming spoke to the old man without any trace of politeness.
The old man finally calmed down and said with a bitter smile, "Although this old man isn't young anymore, I still have some nostalgia for the mortal world. Since I've heard something I shouldn't have, I'll have to ask Immortal Master to cast a spell."
Liu Ming nodded his head and shook his sleeve. A light yellow incense stick shot out and stuck itself into the ground nearby. Soon after, a faint flame appeared on its tip and it spontaneously ignited.
In the blink of an eye, the smell of sandalwood filled the entire cell.
"Peng! Peng!"
Regardless of whether it was Censor Chen, Sir Sun, or the old man and the others in the cell, when they smelled the fragrance, their bodies all softened and they fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Ming smiled and dispersed the black Qi around his body. Then, he sat down cross-legged and with a wave of his hand, he pulled the old man's body closer to him and had him sit cross-legged in front of him. With a flash of silver light in his hand, a few thin needles were inserted into the old man's body.
The old man's body straightened and he actually sat up on his own. At the same time, he opened his eyes and they were filled with a dull and lifeless expression.
At this time, Liu Ming muttered an incantation and his eyes flashed with a crystalline light. At the same time, he held a silver needle in each hand and quickly pierced it into various parts of the old man's head.
… …
After the time it took to eat a meal, Liu Ming's body was once again covered in black Qi as he walked up the stairs. A few feet behind him, two huge black Qi tentacles wrapped around the unconscious Censor Chen and Sir Sun. They floated in the air as he walked forward.
