"Kill me if you have the guts."
"A decent sect? Hahaha, bah."
"Come on. If you can get one word out of me, I'll change my surname to yours."
"Lackey."
In the cave prison on the Desktop Peak, the imprisoned experts of the Devil Cult all cursed when they saw Li Mu and Ding Yi walk in. They stared at the two as if they were going to eat them alive.
The prison was located in the middle of the mountain. There were special ventilation holes, so there was no sunlight all day long.
There were new tactical deployments on the stone walls to prevent people from escaping or breaking into the prison. Those imprisoned on the first floor were all ordinary experts of the Devil Cult below the Natural Realm. There was a corridor in the middle, on both sides of which were stone chambers dug out of the stone walls. The doors were blocked by fine iron fences. The experts inside had their cultivation sealed, so they were almost the same as ordinary people.
Ding Yi was frightened by these experts of the Devil Cult. His legs felt weak, and his face changed dramatically.
But he still walked in front of Li Mu, pulling the iron cart that carried the food, and said, "Xiao Duan, don't be afraid. These people are just stubborn. They can't get out at all …"
Li Mu nodded and said nothing.
He was secretly observing these captured experts of the Devil Cult.
There were men and women, old and young. There were even some monks in Taoist robes and monk robes. All of them were wounded. Some were wounded in battles, and some were scars from being tortured by the West Sea Sword Sect. Some were covered in blood and lying on the ground, half-dead. Some were sitting silently in their cells, and some were yelling and shouting with a bad temper. They were glaring at Li Mu and the woman.
They would be given a meal if they were hungry for three days.
This was the rule set by the West Sea Sword Sect.
And the so-called meal was just brown rice mixed with gravel. It was enough to ensure that the captives would not starve to death.
Li Mu and Ding Yi threw the brown rice into the trough in the cell, which looked like a pigsty, with shovels.
This process was supervised by the disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect.
The second level was a water dungeon. There were a total of twenty cells, all of which were half-filled with water. The prisoners inside were all Connate and Celestial Beings. Not only were their natural qi sealed, but their meridians and joints were also pierced with Spirit Sealing Needles. They were also chained to stone pillars with black iron chains. The security was even stricter. Obviously, they were afraid that these people would escape.
These people were all in their own cells. Basically, they were covered in scars from head to toe. They had all been tortured and tortured. But there were still some who were alive and kicking, pulling the iron chains clanking. When they saw Li Mu and Li Mu come in, they dragged the iron chains and rushed over, looking fierce and bloodthirsty!
"When I get out one day, I'll definitely kill all of you righteous path trash."
"Bah, using someone to plot against me? What kind of ability is that? If you have the ability, let me out and we'll fight face to face."
There were also people shouting.
After delivering the food on the second floor, the two of them dragged the iron-skinned food cart to the third floor, but they were stopped by a Natural Expert disciple of the West Ocean Sword Sect named Zheng Qiang.
"The prisoners on the third floor are felons. There's no need to deliver food. You can go back." Zheng Qiang looked at the two warily and said in an unquestionable tone.
Ding Yi was stunned and said, "But Senior Fellow Apprentice Qi said …"
"Qi Zhen's words don't work here. Get out of here," Zheng Qiang said in an indisputable tone.
Ding Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, well, well, let's go now."
When the two of them walked out and came to the first floor, they saw several disciples of the West Ocean Sword Sect coming to the cells to take people away. They directly dragged a young couple out of a cell and were going to take them to the torture room for interrogation.
There was also a little girl in the cell. She cried and screamed at the young couple, "Dad, mom, don't …"
"Take their daughter with you. Hehe, she'll be useful when we interrogate them later." When the leading disciple of the West Ocean Sword Sect saw the crying girl, he rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something. Then, he said with a sinister smile.
Immediately, two disciples of the West Ocean Sword Sect rushed into the cell.
The other experts of the Devil Cult desperately tried to stop them, trying to protect the girl.
However, their cultivations were sealed, so they were only a bit stronger than ordinary people. How could they resist these two disciples of the West Ocean Sword Sect who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers? After a few punches, they were knocked down to the ground. The little girl, who seemed to be only seven or eight years old, was dragged out of the cell as if she were a puppy.
The young couple had looks of despair on their faces.
They were not afraid of any torture and torture, but their young daughter … They shouldn't have brought her to Mount Shu.
Li Mu frowned slightly and wanted to say something.
Ding Yi, who was beside him, hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Xiao Duan, don't be impulsive. You can't save them."
Li Mu nodded and said nothing.
Indeed, if he took action here, he would get Ding Yi into trouble. Moreover, there were so many people in the cell, and he couldn't save them all in a hurry. Moreover, if he saved them now, where could he take them?
Li Mu's natural qi cultivation had not been fully restored, so he didn't think he could defeat the entire Four City Alliance, the Three Grand Sword Sects, and the two aristocratic families by himself. Moreover, there might be extraterrestrial cultivators in the dark.
The two pushed the food cart out of the grotto and returned to the dormitory area.
"Xiao Duan, take it easy. This is Jianghu …" Ding Yi comforted Li Mu.
"I'm a little tired. I'll go back to rest first." Li Mu found an excuse and went back to his stone room to rest.
Ding Yi looked at Li Mu's back and shook his head.
Jianghu had always sounded picturesque, but when one really tasted it, his mouth would be full of blood.
When Li Mu returned to the stone room, he immediately changed his clothes and covered his face. Then, he quietly sneaked out and walked in the direction of the torture room.
No matter what, he had to save the people first.
Since the Devil Cult might be founded by Li Bai, it was inextricably linked to Earth. He could not sit back and do nothing.
Activating the Taoist magic arts with the primitive natural qi, Li Mu was almost invisible. Soon, he approached the torture room.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Before Li Mu could take action, the torture room was already in a mess.
There was a big fire around.
The sound of killing came.
A strange figure wrapped in silver light actually rescued the couple and the little girl from the torture room and was taking advantage of the chaos to escape to the bottom of the Desktop Peak.
"Someone took action in advance?"
Li Mu was surprised.
"Who is it? How dare you save people under the nose of our West Sea Sword Sect? Humph, you don't know what's good for you. Stay here. "
A jet of sword light instantly broke through the void and chased them at an extremely fast speed.
The top expert of the West Sea Sword Sect stationed in the torture room took action.
The sword light was as fast as lightning. He was at least in the Celestial Being Realm.
A sharp and terrifying pressure pressed down on him.
"Go!"
The silver figure shouted in a low voice, turned around, and asked the young couple to take the little girl to escape first, while he would stay to resist the pursuing expert.
Right at this moment, a sudden change took place.
"Bang!"
That expert in the Celestial Being Realm of the West Sea Sword Sect had not yet landed on the ground when he was suddenly hit by something in midair. Like a watermelon shot by an arrow, he suddenly burst open. Blood and bones fell to the ground, and he could not have been more dead.
The silver figure froze for a moment, then turned around and left quickly.
On the other side, Li Mu, who was hiding in the dark, continuously performed the Broadsword-commanding Skill and killed four or five experts of the West Sea Sword Sect who were chasing him. Then, he left.
As for the people of the West Sea Sword Sect, after losing six experts above the Natural Realm, they all turned pale and didn't dare to chase him anymore.
By the time the real Sage and Great Sage experts of the sect arrived, the silver figure, the couple, and the little girl had all escaped without a trace.
"Go after them! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find them for me!"
Lin Yuhan, the elder of the West Sea Sword Sect, roared.
The entire area of Mount Shu was basically controlled by the Alliance of the Decent Alliance, which had spread a tight net. He didn't believe that the escaped prisoners could really escape.
Lin Yuhan carefully observed the injuries of the killed Natural Experts and Celestial Beings and sensed the fluctuations in the air. His face grew solemn.
The man who secretly rescued the fugitives and launched a sneak attack was in the Great Sage Realm.
That was very scary.
An expert in the Great Sage Realm was definitely a lord on the Bitter Star, second only to the seven supreme masters in the Void-breaking Realm. He was not easy to deal with. Moreover, he had quietly sneaked into the Desktop Peak and hid in the dark, which was even more terrifying.
…
Li Mu returned to his stone chamber.
After intercepting the pursuers of the West Sea Sword Sect, he followed the route of the silver figure and his companions. He wanted to find out the identity of this man and it would be better if he could contact the people in White Emperor City. However, with his speed, he lost them after chasing them.
After searching for a while, he found nothing, so he had to return for the time being.
The silver figure's strength was probably in the early stage of the Celestial Being Realm, and he also had three burdens with him. Logically speaking, he couldn't have run far. But it turned out … This made Li Mu a little embarrassed. He had done a good deed, but the other party might not even know it.
After a while, he heard Ding Yi knocking on the door.
"Xiao Duan, are you still sleeping? Wake up. Something big has happened. "Ding Yi knocked on the door loudly.
Li Mu pretended to have just woken up and opened the door. "What's wrong?"
"An expert of the Devil Cult broke out of the prison. The Desktop Peak is now in chaos." Ding Yi said mysteriously, "Do you remember the young couple and the little girl?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"They were rescued. An expert of the Devil Cult sneaked in. Not only did he take them away, but he also killed an elder and five core elite disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect. Now the West Sea Sword Sect is going crazy," Ding Yi said.
"Is there such a thing?" Li Mu pretended not to know.
Ding Yi said, "Now on the Desktop Peak, all the vassal forces are investigating the moles who might have sneaked in at the request of the West Sea Sword Sect. The situation is grim. Later, if someone comes to interrogate you, just tell them that you have been with me all the time. Don't talk nonsense. Do you understand?"
Li Mu hurriedly nodded.
Ding Yi sighed and said, "Alas, if I had known this, I wouldn't have brought you here. Now, I've harmed you."
After a while, a disciple of the Wind and Cloud Sect did come to inquire and investigate under the surveillance of the experts of the West Sea Sword Sect. Li Mu and Ding Yi testified for each other. Without finding any clues or flaws, they passed the interrogation smoothly.
After all, among the two of them, Ding Yi was just a Great Master, while Li Mu appeared to have not even cultivated his internal qi. So, no one would suspect them.
"Ding Yi is really a good guy." Li Mu sighed with emotion.
In the next ten days, the prisoners in the grotto were rescued one after another, which greatly infuriated the West Sea Sword Sect.
The silver figure came and went like a ghost. No matter how the West Sea Sword Sect took precautions and set up ambushes in secret, they could not catch the silver figure. Every time, the silver figure did not rescue many people, but he could always save them. And once he left the Desktop Peak, he seemed to have melted into the air and could not be found again.
Li Mu was also shocked by this.
Every time, he would "clean up" the silver figure's mess and get rid of some pursuers. But in the blink of an eye, he would lose track of the silver figure.
As time went by, a month passed.
There were several large-scale battles between the Devil Cult and the Decent Faction, but none of them was decisive. The Devil Cult huddled up in White Emperor City. The seven forces of the Decent Faction joined hands, but for a while, they could not break in. The situation was in a stalemate.
In the past month, the "primitive natural qi" in Li Mu's body had been constantly growing, and he had re-cultivated to the Celestial Being Realm.
In this way, he was more confident about the next plan.
