The main reason why Patriarch Jiang Lie had asked Old Monster Qu for help was that Old Monster Qu had cultivated the remarkable power of the Five-Colored Spiritual Eyes. This remarkable power could track the prey's aura.
Unfortunately, Mo Wen's concealment technique was too profound. In the past few days, Old Monster Qu had been using the Five-Colored Spiritual Eyes to search for Mo Wen's whereabouts in the Devil Fire City, but to no avail. Because he couldn't find Mo Wen, Patriarch Jiang Lie had come up with the plan to use the people of the 72 Tribes Alliance to lure Mo Wen out.
Old Monster Qu's expression was solemn. A Five-Colored Vertical Eye appeared between his brows. Spiritual light surrounded the ruins. Soon, the spiritual light captured a trace of the Luminous Sun Thunderbolt.
The next moment, traces of the Five-Colored Spiritual Light wrapped around the Luminous Sun Thunderbolt and turned into a Five-Colored Bird.
The bird let out a clear cry, spread its beautiful five-colored wings, and flew away with a whoosh.
"There's a clue." A look of joy flashed in Old Monster Qu's eyes.
After searching for several days to no avail, Eccentric Qu, a Dao Integration Stage cultivator, had been fuming with rage for a long time. Now, he had finally found a clue about that guy. As long as he followed this wisp of aura, it would be a piece of cake to find him.
Patriarch Jiang Lie's eyes were also filled with joy. He immediately followed the Five-Colored Bird and flew over. The Devil Fire City was only so big, so he believed that the Five-Colored Bird would soon be able to find Mo Wen.
However, the five-colored bird only flew for ten kilometers before it suddenly stopped. Its colorful eyes were filled with confusion. It tilted its head and its eyes were blurry, as if it had lost its way.
"What's going on? The clue has been cut off."
Old Monster Qu's expression changed slightly. All the clues and aura about Mo Wen had been cut off at this location. He couldn't find any more clues.
"The clue has been cut off! Do you mean that we can't find him this time? "Patriarch Jiang Lie looked at Old Monster Qu with an ugly expression.
He had called Old Monster Qu over because he needed his help. If Old Monster Qu was useless, how could he get a share of the benefits?
"That Mo Wen must have a treasure to conceal his aura," Old Monster Qu said with a serious expression.
Eccentric Qu said solemnly. His Five-Colored Spirit Eyes could easily hunt down cultivators of the Dao Integration Realm. How could he fail to hunt down a young man?
There was only one explanation for the failure of the hunt this time. Mo Wen had a treasure on him that could conceal his aura, causing even the Five-Colored Spirit Eyes to be unable to detect the source of his aura.
"Humph, if you can't find Mo Wen, what's the point of having you around?" Patriarch Qiao Lie's face darkened.
Hope had just risen, only to be shattered in the next moment. No one would feel good about it.
"Jiang Lie, don't spout nonsense. If Mo Wen was so easy to find, he would have been captured by others long ago. If he couldn't even come to Demon Fire Demon Mountain, would it be your turn?"
Old Devil Qu said coldly, "Also, don't forget that there are many people coveting that brat. Some of them are at the same level as us, and some are even stronger. Do you really think you can take the treasure-seeking item by yourself?"
Hearing that, Patriarch Qiao Lie coldly stopped talking. Indeed, he had sought out Old Freak Qu to form an alliance.
Over the past few days, there were no less than 20 forces gathered in the Fiendish Fire City. Many of the forces were so powerful that even he did not dare to provoke them.
The current Fiendish Fire City was surging with undercurrents, and anyone could appear.
If it weren't for the interference of so many external forces, given Patriarch Qiao Lie's demonic nature, he would have killed everyone in the city long ago. He would have dug three feet into the ground and searched for Mo Wen one by one.
Now, Patriarch Qiao Lie clearly did not dare to do so. Even he did not dare to offend some of the ancient forces in the wastelands.
…
A thousand miles away, Mo Wen's lips curled into a cold smile. The concealment ability of the Starry Mask had been enhanced by Goddess Jia Xie. Ordinary immortal cultivators at the Path Integration Realm could not track him at all.
However, old monsters at the Path Integration Realm were indeed terrifying. They were on a completely different level from those at the Divine Illusionary Realm. With Mo Wen's ability, he would most likely be killed in a second.
Mo Wen decided to hide for a period of time. He would only appear when the time was right. He did not have the ability to fight against old monsters at the Path Integration Realm head-on.
The Devil Prison had been destroyed, and tens of thousands of prisoners had escaped. The entire Fiendish Fire City was in chaos.
However, a few days ago, Patriarch Qiao Lie had ordered for the city to be sealed. People could only enter, but not leave. It was extremely difficult for the prisoners to escape. Unless they could break through the defenses of the Fiendish Fire City, it was impossible for them to escape.
Many prisoners had tried to break into the city, but they either returned in failure or died at the city gates. Until now, no one had managed to escape.
The entire Fiendish Fire City's law enforcement team had been mobilized. They were on alert 24/7, ready to capture the escaped prisoners who were wandering around the city at any time. In just a few days, two-thirds of the prisoners had been captured again. Only some immortal cultivators who were adept at concealment and survival were still holding on.
However, the immortal cultivators living in the Fiendish Fire City understood that the prisoners were merely struggling to survive. Patriarch Qiao Lie had ordered for the city to be sealed. The entire city was a prison, and all the prisoners were still trapped. It was only a matter of time before they were all captured.
Mo Wen transformed the Junior Master's Pagoda into a small blade of grass and hid it in a patch of grass. A cubic meter area on the grass was covered by the Starry Mask. With the concealment ability of the Starry Mask, unless Old Monster Qu used his Five Colored Spiritual Eyes to scan the grass, Mo Wen would not be able to detect him even if he passed by.
As for the inns and restaurants in the city, Mo Wen did not dare to go at all. These days, the security in the city was especially strict. No suspicious person could escape the search.
…
One morning, two women suddenly appeared outside the city gates of the Fiendish Fire City. Both of them were wearing veils, and their appearances could not be seen. Their large robes covered their bodies, and nothing special could be seen from their appearance.
Immortal cultivators dressed like this were everywhere on the streets. The appearance of these two women did not attract much attention.
The guards guarding the city glanced at the two of them and ignored them.
These days, the number of immortal cultivators who came to the Fiendish Fire City had not decreased. Patriarch Qiao Lie had ordered for the city to be sealed, but there were still many people coming to the Fiendish Fire City every day.
Most of these people were here to search for treasures. In just a few days, the population of the Fiendish Fire City had increased more than tenfold.
The guards guarding the city were used to seeing these people enter the city. As long as they did not leave the city, no one would care.
"Ye Keming, we entered the city just like that?"
Ji Tong looked at Ye Keming with a stunned expression. He still could not believe that they had entered the city so easily.
Originally, the two of them had thought that it would be quite difficult to enter the Fiendish Fire City. They had even prepared a lot of backup plans and excuses. In the end, they had not used any of them. They had entered the city so easily, and the guards did not even look at them.
"I think so."
Ye Keming looked around. This should be the city. Although she had not been to the Fiendish Fire City before, she knew quite a lot about the city.
"Could it be that Patriarch Qiao Lie knew that we were coming to the Fiendish Fire City, so he deliberately let us in and let us in?" Ji Tong said in shock.
Ye Keming rolled her eyes at Ji Tong and said speechlessly, "Who do you think Patriarch Qiao Lie is? Why would he deliberately set up a trap to deal with you? Even Xu Wenguang might not take you seriously. We were able to enter the Fiendish Fire City so easily because we are just insignificant people who are not valued. "
Ye Keming sighed softly, feeling a little sad. Sometimes, it was a good thing to be not valued.
Ji Tong smiled awkwardly. He had been in a tense state for the past few days, so he was more or less paranoid. He had subconsciously regarded Patriarch Qiao Lie as his mortal enemy, the kind of enemy that he hated. In fact, Patriarch Qiao Lie might not even know who Ji Tong was.
"What should we do now?"
Ji Tong looked at Ye Keming. Although their cultivation levels were similar, Ji Tong had always lived in a small tribe and had limited knowledge. Sometimes, he was not as assertive as Ye Keming. Ye Keming was different. She had lived in a large sect like the You Guangzong since she was young. Everything she had seen and come into contact with was not on the same level as Ji Tong.
"Let's find a crowded hotel first. Maybe we can find some useful information there."
Ye Keming pondered for a moment, then pulled Ji Tong to a restaurant. The restaurant was bustling with people, and it was quite popular.
Inside the restaurant, there was a lot of noise as three to five people gathered together and chatted.
Ji Tong and Ye Keming pretended to eat, but they were secretly eavesdropping on those people's conversations.
"Have you heard? Another twenty Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators were captured by Patriarch Qiao Lie today. At least a hundred Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators who escaped were captured. I'm afraid there are only a few who are still on the run."
"What? Twenty Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators? That's too terrifying. Usually, it's hard to meet a Divine Illusionary Realm powerhouse in the Desolate Domain. All of them are Dao Ancestors. Who would have thought that such a person would have such a tragic day? "
"I can only say that there is always a higher mountain. Who is Patriarch Qiao Lie? He is a peak existence in the Dao Integration Realm. In the eyes of such a peerless figure, Divine Illusionary Realm powerhouses are probably just ants. "
"Some time ago, that youth called Mo Wen destroyed the Devil Prison. Indeed, the Devil Fire City was in chaos for a few days. However, Patriarch Qiao Lie's background is too strong. In just a few days, most of the escaped prisoners have been captured. In my opinion, Mo Wen won't be able to escape even if he has wings. He will be captured sooner or later. As the saying goes, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. If one doesn't have the ability, it's best not to get involved in treasure-seeking and mystical items. "
…
The discussions in the restaurant were all about the big and small things that had happened in the Devil Fire City recently.
Ji Tong's eyes lit up. The Devil Prison had been destroyed and all the prisoners inside had been rescued. Didn't that mean that Mo Wen had already rescued her father and all the immortal cultivators of the Devil Fire Alliance?
She hadn't expected Mo Wen to be so efficient. In the face of such a predicament, he could actually rescue people.
"The immortal cultivators of the Demon-Exterminating Alliance are not imprisoned in the Devil Prison. Instead, they are imprisoned by Patriarch Qiao Lie in another secret place."
Ye Keming was a little depressed. The immortal cultivators of the Demon-Exterminating Alliance would not have a good ending in the hands of Patriarch Qiao Lie. Her Sect Uncle was most likely still imprisoned.
