Looking at the shiny saber that was stuck to his ear, Lei Honghai was sobbing for a moment, not knowing how he should react.
Lei Chenghu stopped looking at him and turned around to look at Li Yao. "Let's go!"
Li Yao hesitated. "General Lei, your wounds …"
"Minor wounds. Don't worry!"
Lei Chenghu had lost an arm, but he was as calm as if he had lost a finger. Picking up a storm bolter and a broken chainsword, he looked at Li Yao emotionlessly. "Where should we go?"
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao dashed to a few guards of the Godly Might Prison who had been killed. His hands turned into two clusters of gray mist as he dismantled their Crystal Suits into broken components, finding the identification units inside as well as the identity chips that could pass through the gates of the Godly Might Prison.
Those few guards all belonged to the Four Top Experts of the Godly Might Prison. Naturally, their identity chips could be opened freely in most of the gates.
After embedding an identity chip and an identification unit into Lei Chenghu's Crystal Suit, Li Yao finally retrieved a piece of delicate communication magical equipment from his Cosmos Ring and activated a secret short-distance communication channel.
"Black Stone. Black Stone."
Li Yao aimed at the communication channel and said in a low voice, "This is Vulture. We have rescued the general, but we are surrounded by the enemy and cannot be delayed for long. We have decided to change our strategy and go directly to the highest control center of the Godly Might Prison. Please open the channels on the way for us and turn off all the surveillance cameras and guards.
"I repeat, this is the general's request. You must fulfill it. Otherwise, the general's safety cannot be guaranteed!"
'Black Stone' was the secret code name of Luo Wenyao, the deputy warden who had been bought over by the reformists.
Since the wireless transmission was adopted, the so-called 'secret channel' was naturally not so secret, and it would be discovered by the enemy sooner or later.
However, the situation was too urgent to care about anything else.
After a long silence in the secret communication channel, a surprised voice finally came over. "What?"
"We are moving towards the control center. Please show us the safest route."
Li Yao did not care about the guy's shock and surprise at all. He said quickly, "Otherwise, we would have had no choice but to fight our way here!"
The secret communication channel fell silent again, as if the heavy breathing on the other side could be heard. Then, a 3D map of the Godly Might Prison was sent over, in which a crimson route was glittering.
Luo Wenyao gnashed his teeth and said, "I'll give you three minutes. I'll try to send away all the guards on the route and cut off the image transmission from the surveillance cameras. If it takes too long, it will raise suspicion. What are you doing in the control center?"
Li Yao smiled faintly and glanced at Lei Chenghu. He said decisively, "Come, let's catch them all in one fell swoop!"
The two of them followed the informant's instructions and entered a spacious and comfortable ventilation duct.
Not long after they entered, they heard shouts and explosions coming from the area they were originally in.
As it turned out, the guards of the Godly Might Prison and the captives of the Holy League who had received new orders had all arrived. They happened to run into each other on the narrow path. Naturally, another bloody battle broke out.
Li Yao stole a glance at Lei Chenghu, only to see that the guy was groping forward in the darkness wholeheartedly with thousands of thoughts running through his mind, but he was not worried about the safety of his son at all. Li Yao felt chills flashing in his heart again.
The Immortal Cultivators and the people of the Holy League were truly not easy to deal with!
The ventilation duct had been scourged by the venomous fog and corrosive gas. Most of the guards had been evacuated, replaced by surveillance cameras and automatic defense magical equipment that floated in midair like green-headed flies.
The informant had cut off the picture temporarily. Li Yao and Lei Chenghu, on the other hand, were embedded with the identification units of the highest level. They were immediately determined to be on the same side by the automatic defense magical equipment and allowed to swagger forward.
Although Li Yao had consumed fifty percent of his combat ability in the fierce battle just now, it was still possible for him to release spiritual threads and perceive the enemies within hundreds of square meters nearby.
Also, the informant was transmitting the latest distribution and direction of the troops every now and then, making it possible for them to avoid all the guards at the right time.
Lei Chenghu's estimation was not wrong.
The highest commander of the Godly Might Prison was already overwhelmed by the unexpected assault of the Holy League. Even if he knew that Lei Chenghu had escaped, he would only think that Lei Chenghu was running to the deepest part of the Godly Might Prison. But it never occurred to him that Lei Chenghu and Li Yao would take a detour and stab at the heart of the Godly Might Prison, throwing themselves into the trap!
The two of them moved forward quite a few kilometers in the ventilation duct without any mishap. During the process, they only encountered three patrols that they could not avoid, but they were all discovered in advance by Li Yao and knocked out neatly.
Up ahead was the control center of the Godly Might Prison.
But they had reached the end of the ventilation duct. Further ahead was another air circulation system that was completely isolated. It was absolutely impossible for them to pass through.
Down below, on the other hand, was heavily guarded. Hundreds of fully-armed prison guards surrounded the control center like hundreds of iron fortresses, not letting go of even a fly.
Those soldiers were all the warden's personal guards. The informant, as the deputy warden, had no way to command them at all.
"What do we do?"
Li Yao mouthed the question to Lei Chenghu.
The hundreds of prison guards were tall, muscular, and vaguely enshrouded in the delicate Crystal Suits. They were absolutely different from the common jailors that Li Yao had swept away a moment ago.
Li Yao had consumed too much spiritual energy and soul power. He did not want to fight against the hundreds of ferocious guards on his own anymore.
Even the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators could be beaten to death by them!
Lei Chenghu narrowed his eyes and completely took off the broken iron mask, revealing his face that was made of iron.
Then —
He used the Thousand Catty Drop to smash through the ventilation pipe and jumped down.
"Who's there?"
The guards who were on high alert outside of the control center were greatly shocked. Their guns were all aimed at Lei Chenghu.
Li Yao secretly cursed in his heart. He could only grit his teeth and jump down together with Lei Chenghu. While they were still in midair, the aura of the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators blossomed crazily like surging tides, raising a ferocious storm around the two of them. All the storm bolters and crystal cannons were shaking violently and could not lock onto them.
Lei Chenghu, however, did not bother to look at those people at all. Ignoring the sabers, swords, and guns in their hands, he held his head high and strode toward the control center!
Lei Chenghu's behavior and Li Yao's dominance greatly surprised all the guards.
The suffocating pressure of the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators that was like a hundred thousand tons of seawater made them grit their teeth and bulge their eyes hard, but they did not have the courage to pull the trigger.
Lei Chenghu's aura that was even more intimidating than the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, and his uncannily familiar face, made the guards' hearts tremble.
"M-Marquis Liaohai!"
Some of the guards exclaimed in shock, finding it hard to believe their eyes.
Since Lei Chenghu was secretly caged in this place, naturally, only a few leaders were aware of the news. Most of the guards did not know it at all.
The guards who were responsible for the Godly Might Prison, even if they were from the four Kurfürst families, were often the secondary branches and the bottom level of their families. They had to endure all kinds of exploitation from their superiors. After their value was exploited, they would be kicked to such a hopeless "cold place" as the Godly Might Prison to wait for their death.
Their feelings for their families were relatively indifferent. As for such a famous hero of the Imperium such as "God of War" Lei Chenghu, they were naturally quite familiar with and even admired him!
For a moment, a lot of guards were at a loss.
They did not know why the legendary "hero of the Imperium" had suddenly shown up in this place. They did not know why Lei Chenghu had lost an arm and was covered in blood, as if he had just been through a fierce battle. They did not know how to deal with such a weird situation at all!
Even though a few commanders vaguely knew the inside story, Li Yao sensed their existence keenly the moment he jumped down. His spiritual energy bit their throats like vipers, making them feel cold all over, their hearts pounding, and they felt that a needle had been stabbed into their spine. They could not utter a single word at all.
"Now that you know it's me, get out of the way!"
Lei Chenghu marched straight into the glittering forest of iron. With a gloomy face, he bellowed, "The Holy League has launched a large-scale invasion. The Godly Might Prison is in peril. My Thunder Fleet is still docked on the orbit and cannot break in. Why don't you ask your warden to come out and talk?"
His words were unintelligible and ambiguous, but it was enough to daze all the guards for a moment.
While they were dazed, Lei Chenghu had already strode to the gate of the control center under the protection of Li Yao.
Protected by hundreds of tough guards, and a lot of officers were going in and out to deliver orders, the gate of the control center was naturally wide open. Even if the gate had been tightly shut, it probably would not have been able to resist Li Yao's full-strength strike.
Lei Chenghu and Li Yao stepped into the highest control center of the Godly Might Prison heavily.
The control center was in chaos right now. Everybody, including the warden, was roaring at the top of their voice and issuing orders in a hurry, trying to reach out to the Godly Might Fleet. Hundreds of 3D light beams were crashing into each other, raising ripples that looked like snowflakes as they sprayed down in a hurry.
The arrival of Lei Chenghu and Li Yao, on the other hand, was like two enormous black holes that attracted and swallowed all the sounds and eyes.
Other than Deputy Warden Luo Wenyao, everybody in the control center was dumbfounded. Coughing sounds were coming out of their throats, and none of them could say anything for a long time.
It was not until this moment that the personal guards of the warden outside finally came back to themselves. They crowded in and aimed their shivering guns at Lei Chenghu and Li Yao again!
"Marquis Liaohai!"
The warden, who was issuing orders in front of the mainframe crystal processor, saw such a weird picture in the dead silence when he turned around. His face turned pale for a moment, and he blurted out.
The current warden of the Godly Might Prison was named "Yun Chenghua". He was a direct descendant of the "Lantian Yun" family, one of the four Kurfürst families. He was also a rarely-seen expert in the Yuanying level who boasted both "admin-type" and "battle-type" talents.
However, under the intimidation of Li Yao and Lei Chenghu, two experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage, how could he carry out the strength of the Yuanying Stage at all?
"Fellow Cultivator Yun."
