"Wait for me here. After I save them, I will take you out of the Hall of Stars." Ling Xian grinned.
"I'll go with you."
Hu Sheng grinned, "I have been imprisoned for hundreds of years. If I don't move, my bones will rust." "Alright, let's go." Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps.
After a while, he sensed that Zhang Chenglong's aura was extremely weak.
"Over there."
Hu Sheng opened his Third Eye. Divine light emerged and illuminated the left side.
The Celestial Illuminator didn't just have divination abilities, it could also see through illusions and illuminate the darkness.
Therefore, when he glanced over, the darkness was chased away, revealing the weak and exhausted Zhang Chenglong.
He was shackled in midair by three iron chains. His face was deathly pale and his body was covered in blood. He was already exhaling more than he was inhaling.
This made Ling Xian's expression turn cold and furious.
Zhang Chenglong was Liao Cang Qiong's descendant, which made him his junior. To be tortured like this, how could he not be angry?
"Damn Star Hall!"
Ling Xian's angry roar woke Zhang Chenglong up.
He opened his eyes with difficulty. After he saw Ling Xian, he was stunned. Then, he revealed a look of ecstasy.
"Big Brother, is it you? Is it really you?" Zhang Chenglong couldn't believe it.
"It's me. Don't be afraid. Big brother is here to save you."
Ling Xian spoke softly. Then, he flapped around his sleeve and lifted the seal.
This caused Hu Sheng to be stunned once again. Even though it wasn't his first time seeing it, he was still shocked.
The restriction of the Star Hall was not easy to break. At least, he had spent a hundred years without being able to shake it. Yet Ling Xian merely waved his hand. Anyone would be shocked.
"Big Brother, I …" Zhang Chenglong's eyes were red and he was very touched.
Not even in his dreams did he think that Ling Xian would save him.
After all, this was the Star Hall. Even if it wasn't as powerful as it used to be, it was still a colossus on the Big Dipper Star!
"There's no need to say anything. Just focus on recuperating."
Ling Xian waved his hand and placed a healing Dan he got from the ancestor into Zhang Chenglong's mouth.
After that, his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It couldn't be helped. This was a spirit pill personally refined by the Pill Ancestor. Naturally, its effects were shocking.
"Big Brother, you shouldn't have come. It's too dangerous here." Zhang Chenglong was anxious, fearing that the experts from the Star Hall would arrive.
"It doesn't matter. Since I dared to come, I have full confidence."
Ling Xian smiled warmly. With Thief Jiu Xiao's help, the powerhouses from the Hall of Stars won't notice the Prison of Eternal Darkness. This gave him enough time to leave.
"Of course I believe in your strength, big brother, but …"
Zhang Chenglong wanted to say more, but Ling Xian interrupted him.
He looked at Zhang Chenglong seriously and said resolutely, "Don't worry, big brother will definitely bring you home."
Hearing this, Zhang Chenglong was startled for a moment, then he smiled.
A reassuring smile.
"Let's go. I will get you out of here first. Then, I will deal with the Hall of Stars." Ling Xian's eyes flashed with coldness as he retraced his steps.
"Why don't we save the others as well?"
Hu Sheng smiled and said, "To you, this is a piece of cake. You might as well save them all and create trouble for the Star Hall."
"That's exactly what I was thinking. Just take it as a little interest."
Ling Xian nodded softly. Before he met Hu Sheng, he already had this thought.
For one, these people weren't guilty. For two, they were creating trouble for the Hall of Stars.
There were many powerhouses among those who were imprisoned. With the same goal, even the Hall of Stars would feel troubled.
Therefore, Ling Xian spoke in a bright voice that echoed throughout the entire Prison of Eternal Darkness.
"I want to save you. But there is a condition. Whoever agrees can leave immediately."
Just then, the Prison of Eternal Darkness boiled.
"I agree. As long as you can save me, I will agree to anything!"
"That's right. I've been imprisoned here for more than 200 years. I really can't hold on any longer."
"Save me. No matter what your request is, as long as I can do it, I will agree!"
Everyone spoke one after another, and all of them revealed strong expectations.
"My request is simple. You must swear to the heavens that you won't do evil."
Thinking about the demons that will arrive sooner or later, Ling Xian said in a low voice, "Also, you must promise that when this world is in danger, you will step forward."
Hearing this, most people froze. The first part was easy to understand, but what did the second part mean?
Only a few people guessed what was going on. Hu Sheng was one of them.
He gave Ling Xian a deep look. There was now more recognition and more admiration.
"If I may ask, what do you mean by the second part?" An old voice arose. It was the elder Ling Xian met at the very beginning.
"You don't need to care."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless, "You just need to promise that you won't retreat when the time comes."
"Do not worry, I will step forward for sure!"
"That's right. I may not have other things, but I have a few tough bones. If this world is in danger, I will not retreat no matter what."
"I am the same. Even if I die, I will not step back!"
Everyone chimed in and swore to the heavens.
They originally thought Ling Xian would ask for an exorbitant amount. Even if it wasn't too much, he would at least ask for some treasures. They didn't think his request would be so simple. It was so simple that they couldn't believe it.
Why would they reject such a simple request?
"Very well, come out."
Ling Xian grinned. Waving his hand, runes materialized and arrays filled the sky.
In the next second, everyone's seals were lifted by him. It was easier than eating or drinking.
Everyone's eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. The way they looked at Ling Xian was like they were looking at a monster.
This was far too unbelievable. With a wave of his hand, all the seals were lifted. It was as if they never existed.
If the leader of the Hall of Stars knew about this, he would puke blood from anger.
"Even though I've seen it twice, I still find it hard to believe."
Hu Sheng bitterly smiled, "Just how knowledgeable are you with arrays?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled but didn't say anything.
He looked around at the crowd, and his smile widened a little.
Because there were 25 people here. 13 of them were of the seventh level and one of them was of the eighth level!
Though to the Hall of Stars, this wasn't much of a threat, it could cause them some trouble. Especially the eighth leveled cultivator. As long as he doesn't fight against the Hall of Stars head on, he will give them a headache.
"Everyone, the Hall of Stars is powerful. I suggest you to be patient and not fight against them head on."
Ling Xian's reminder made everyone nod in agreement.
They knew how powerful the Hall of Stars was. Even if they work together, they cannot win against them.
"But, we can create some trouble for them."
Ling Xian grinned. Everyone smiled as well. However, their smiles were full of coldness.
The Hall of Stars imprisoned them here and tortured them. Why wouldn't they hate them?
"Who dares to break into the Prison of Eternal Darkness?"
A cold shout rose. Then, a middle-aged man appeared. He was arrogant and full of killer's intent.
His demeanor was like that of a Supreme Emperor who had descended upon the world, looking down at the world.
However, when he saw that everyone had regained their freedom, his arrogance froze on his face.
