'This Cloud River Tier Immortal Essence Guard is at least a commander,' Lu Ye thought to himself.
"Lord Supervisor, what brings you here?" The Immortal Essence Guard glanced at the token in Hu Po's mouth and asked.
Lu Ye finally understood the identity of the token. However, the word "supervisor" was somewhat thought-provoking, and he didn't know what he was supposed to supervise.
"I heard that some people were captured here?" Lu Ye asked.
The Immortal Essence Guard nodded. "Those people trespassed into the Immortal Essence City without regard for law and order. They disturbed the people and made their lives miserable. The Immortal Essence Guard is also acting according to the City Lord's rules."
There was not a single living person in the entire Immortal Essence City, so how could they disturb the people and make their lives miserable …
Lu Ye knew that even if these Immortal Essence Guards had some spiritual intelligence, their consciousness was still muddled. Otherwise, they wouldn't have easily acknowledged him as the "Lord Supervisor".
He naturally wouldn't argue with them, and he said indifferently, "I'm here on the orders of that lord to take people away."
"That lord?" The Immortal Essence Guard leader was suspicious at first, but then he seemed to realize something and said with a frown, "The dungeon is an important place for the Immortal Essence Guards. Even if the Lord Supervisor wants to take people away, he still needs that lord's warrant."
Lu Ye didn't know who this lord was, but he was just using the red-dressed woman's tiger skin as a flag. In his mind, since the red-dressed woman could casually give him a token that represented the identity of a supervisor, her status in this city must be high.
It was impossible to ask the red-dressed woman for a warrant now, so he slightly channeled his spiritual power, and the hand holding the saber slightly tightened. He said expressionlessly, "I didn't see any warrant, only that lord's password. If the Immortal Essence Guards don't want to let people go, then you can go and explain to that lord personally."
The Immortal Essence Guard in front of him had a conflicted expression, and it was obvious that he was in a difficult position. This made Lu Ye understand that the red-dressed woman was indeed a good tiger skin.
"Forget it. Since it's a request from that lord, I don't think the City Lord will refuse. Come with me." The Immortal Essence Guard leader said as he turned and raised his hand to press on the heavy door in front of him.
A spiritual light flashed on the door, and complicated veined patterns flowed. Then, the door slowly opened.
Not far away, Ji Yan, who was observing the situation, let out a long sigh of relief. When he saw Lu Ye looking like he was about to start a fight, he was worried to death. He was already prepared to send people from the Hidden God Palace to help.
He was the one who had requested for Lu Ye to go to the dungeon to save someone. If Lu Ye was in any danger, Shenyin Palace would not sit idly by.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
As they entered the dungeon, the door behind them slammed shut. Lu Ye's heart tightened.
If a fight broke out, there would be nowhere to run.
Fortunately, the Immortal Essence Guardians leading the way did not have any intention of attacking. They led Lu Ye and Giant Armor all the way down.
The entrance to the dungeon was a spiral staircase that was dozens of feet deep.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the dark dungeon. Looking around, the environment was dark and damp. There were only a few torches on both sides of the corridor, and the weak flames flickered.
Curses and indignant roars came from all over the prison.
Lu Ye glanced around and found a somewhat familiar face looking at him from the front of the iron bars with an inexplicably surprised expression.
If he was not mistaken, this person was from Shenyin Palace. He was one of the people who came here with Ji Yan just now. In the end, he was caught and brought here.
"This person." Lu Ye raised his hand and pointed at the cultivator from Shenyin Palace.
The Immortal Essence Guardians' commander waved his hand, and a spiritual body that looked like a prison guard immediately appeared beside him. There was a bunch of keys hanging from his waist.
"Bring him out."
The prison guard hurriedly responded and took out a key to open the cell door. The cultivator from Shenyin Palace quickly walked out. Lu Ye gave him a look and asked him to stand beside him. Then, they continued to move forward.
The Immortal Essence Guardians' commander and the prison guard followed closely behind.
When they passed by a cell, Lu Ye poked his head out to take a look. Immediately, a haggard face came up to him. At first, he was stunned, but then he was pleasantly surprised. He shouted, "Fellow Daoist, save me!"
Lu Ye turned his head and looked at the cultivator from Shenyin Palace beside him. The other party shook his head, indicating that he did not know him.
Lu Ye raised the back of his hand and revealed the Battlefield Imprint.
The cultivator's expression changed, and he forced a smile. "I'm also from Haotian Alliance. Fellow Daoist, please save me!"
Lu Ye did not bother to pay attention to him and continued to move forward.
The imprisoned cultivators heard the commotion here and stood at the door to look around. Every time he saw someone, Lu Ye asked the cultivator from Shenyin Palace to identify them. If he knew them, he would save them. If he did not know them, he would use the Battlefield Imprint to determine their camps. If they were from Haotian Alliance, he would save them. As for those from Myriad Devil Ridge … he did not care whether they lived or died.
However, what made Lu Ye a little vigilant was that this dungeon was a little strange.
The imprisoned cultivators did not have any obvious injuries. Obviously, they had not been treated too harshly. They were simply locked up here.
However, except for the few cultivators from Shenyin Palace who had just been imprisoned, the others were extremely haggard. Some of them had pale faces, and some of them even had difficulty standing up. At this moment, they were being carried on the shoulders of giant armors.
Their bodies were filled with a rotten aura!
Lu Ye also felt that since he entered this dungeon, something indescribable seemed to be slowly flowing out of his body. He could not help but feel sleepy and tired.
He did not know what exactly was flowing out of his body, but this place was not suitable for him to stay for long.
He immediately sped up the search.
Cultivators from Haotian Alliance were rescued one by one. The expression of the commander of the Immortal Essence Defenders who followed behind Lu Ye slowly became unsightly. This was because Lu Ye had released too many people.
"Senior Martial Brother Gu!" A shout was heard. The cultivators from Shenyin Palace had finally found Gu Shenyang, who was imprisoned here.
They asked the prison guard to open the door. A few disciples from Shenyin Palace rushed in and carried Gu Shenyang, who was almost unable to stand up, out.
"Lord Supervisor, is it still not enough?" The commander of the Immortal Essence Defenders asked, faintly revealing his displeasure.
"It's enough."
The place where Gu Shenyang was imprisoned was the innermost part of the dungeon. It was not because of his strength, but because Gu Shenyang was among the first batch of people to be captured, so he was thrown in the innermost part.
Those who should be saved had been saved.
Under Lu Ye's lead, nearly 30 people walked out in a mighty manner. However, most of them looked haggard. Giant Armors even carried two people with both hands and two under his armpits. The others were supporting each other.
Behind them, the cries for help and curses of the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators could be heard. The dungeon's door closed with a loud bang.
They walked out of the dungeon along the spiral staircase and came to the surface. The group of cultivators had tears in their eyes. They could not help but feel that they were living in the world again.
Although they did not know what Lu Ye had done to have the ability to bring them out of the dungeon, they knew that they should keep quiet.
If they had any questions, it would not be too late to ask them after they were out of danger.
Lu Ye gave Giant Armors a look and asked him to leave first. He cupped his fists at the commander of the Immortal Essence Defenders and said, "Thank you."
The commander snorted coldly. Obviously, he was unwilling to pay attention to him.
Lu Ye was not annoyed by the snub. He turned around and left leisurely.
When he returned to the place where he parted ways with Ji Yan and the others, Ji Yan immediately came up to him and expressed his gratitude.
Lu Ye waved his hand. Speaking of which, he did not pay much this time. At most, he took a risk.
If he really did not have the ability to save people, then so be it. However, since he had the ability and so many Grand Heaven Alliance cultivators were detained, he would feel uneasy if he did not save them. Previously, when his identity was exposed, there were many Grand Heaven Alliance cultivators who took turns to escort him.
Now, the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators in the city had been purged. Those who were still alive were basically imprisoned in the dungeon. There might be a few fish that escaped the net outside, but they definitely hid somewhere and did not dare to show their faces.
There was not much danger in the city. They just had to be careful when dealing with the patrolling Immortal Essence Defenders.
The people of the Shenyin Palace found a large courtyard in the city and prepared to settle down there while waiting for the Immortal Essence City to close. The people who were rescued just now were all settled there. Ji Yan brought a group of people and waited here. Firstly, he wanted to thank Lu Ye and secondly, he wanted to invite him to come with him.
"I still have some things to do. I will look for Brother Ji after I finish them."
Ji Yan nodded. "Then I will wait for Fellow Daoist Yi Ye's news."
Saying so, he led the people around him and left.
After they left, Lu Ye looked at Giant Armor again. Since Sima Yang's death, Giant Armor had been following him, almost never leaving his side.
This was partly because of Hu Po, but also because of what Lu Ye said to him at the beginning.
Everyone had a grudge against the Wind Flower Courtyard, so it was naturally better to work together.
Now that the people of the Wind Flower Courtyard were all dead, Giant Armor's grudge could be considered avenged.
"What are your plans for the future?" Lu Ye asked casually as he walked.
Giant Armor lowered his head and followed without saying a word.
Since he started cultivating, he had been following Sima Yang. He never thought about what he would do tomorrow or where he would go. Wherever Sima Yang went, he would follow.
Now that Sima Yang was dead, he suddenly felt a little lost.
"If you don't have any plans, follow me for the time being."
"Okay!" Giant Armor agreed readily.
Lu Ye was in a good mood. Giant Armor was a talent that every Sect coveted. Even if he was already a Ninth Order, those Sects were willing to make an exception for him.
It was just that Sima Yang had obstructed them in the past, so they did not join any Sect, but it was different now.
Sima Yang was dead, so as long as Giant Armor continued to follow him, he would be a member of the Blue Blood Sect in the future.
Although the Blue Blood Sect had taken in some disciples and had gained a firm foothold in the Outer Circle, there were not many that could really be taken out.
Lu Ye did not expect that he would pick up such a powerful Body Cultivator on this trip to Immortal Essence City. Even though he knew that it was wrong to think so, but … he had to thank Sima Yang and the Wind Flower Courtyard.
Lu Ye estimated that even if he offered to take Giant Armor in as a disciple now, he would not refuse. But this kind of thing was not urgent and could be done slowly. At the very least, he had to cultivate a sense of belonging to the Sect. Otherwise, even if he took him in as a disciple, it would be meaningless.
Now that he was not in the Sect, there was no need to mention the sense of belonging, but he could cultivate Giant Armor's recognition of him.
Giant Armor was loyal to someone like Sima Yang, so as long as he treated Giant Armor well, would he be afraid that Giant Armor would not recognize him?
