Yang Xuan naturally followed them in secret.
The speed of the flying ship was very fast. In less than half an hour, it flew into an undulating mountain range and finally landed in a concave valley.
On one side of the valley, there was a natural cave. The entrance of the cave was wide, and the inside was deep. It seemed to be very spacious.
Green Snake brought Di Lingxiao's wife and Xiao Ling out of the flying ship and went straight into the cave.
The bare-armed Ruler did not go in. Instead, he walked to the other side of the valley.
Yang Xuan followed behind Green Snake and sneaked in. After walking for about 300 to 400 meters, they arrived at an extremely spacious space.
This space was obviously man-made. The construction was relatively rough and not exquisite. Only caves of various sizes were dug out on the rock wall, and they seemed to be residences.
There were many people in the cave. They came and went, and no one knew what they were busy with.
Green Snake brought them straight to a cave and said respectfully, "Sir, I've brought them here."
The stone door opened from the inside, and a voice was heard. "Come in."
After entering, Yang Xuan saw a stone bed in the inner area. An old man in his twilight years was sitting on the bed. His beard was white, and his eyes were dim and lifeless.
After Green Snake brought the two of them inside, he excused himself.
The old man asked, "Are you Yimian, One-Armed's wife?"
Di Lingxiao's wife asked nervously, "Who are you? Why did you bring me here? "
The old man smiled and said, "You can call me Old Man Yuan. It doesn't matter what you call me. I invited you here this time because I need your help with something."
Di Lingxiao's wife, Yimian, gripped Xiao Ling's hand tightly. Her face was slightly pale. "What is it?"
"We're conducting an experiment, and your husband, One-Armed, is also participating in this experiment, but he's not very cooperative, so I want you to help persuade him." The old man smiled.
Yimian's heart skipped a beat. She quickly asked, "What did you do to my husband?"
"It's nothing. You just need to persuade him to help us complete this experiment, and your family will be reunited." The old man's smile didn't change.
"I want to see him, I want to see him." Yimian had completely lost her cool.
"No problem. Let's go. I'll take you to see him." The old man said as he floated down from the bed.
Only then did Yimian realize that the old man had no legs and was floating in the air.
After the old man passed through a long and narrow tunnel, they arrived at another huge cave.
There were no other decorations in the cave except for a transparent jar in the center. It was filled with purple gas, and Di Lingxiao was sitting in the jar with his eyes closed.
"Lingxiao …" Yimian exclaimed and was about to rush out.
But the old man waved his hand slightly, and a strong force came and pulled her back.
Di Lingxiao in the jar probably heard the noise, and his eyes slowly opened. When he saw Yimian and Xiao Ling, he began to fight.
"Bastard, what do you want?"
His words were directed at Old Yuan. He gnashed his teeth as he spoke, and his hatred seeped into his bones.
"Nothing. I just want you to cooperate with this experiment willingly. How about it?" Old Yuan said with a smile.
"In your dreams. The success rate of this experiment is less than one in a thousand. You want me to die?" Di Lingxiao roared.
"That's a pity. You might just have to watch them die in front of your eyes. Oh, no, death might not be the end. How about I modify them?" Old Yuan said with a smile. He waved his hand gently, and Xiao Ling flew to his side. He patted the top of his head.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you." Xiao Ling kept struggling, but it was to no avail.
"How dare you!" Di Lingxiao's hair stood on end, and his eyes were about to pop out.
"You know I dare!" The old man was still smiling.
From their conversation, Yang Xuan finally understood why he couldn't find Di Lingxiao's location. It was because the jar in front of him, including Di Lingxiao in the jar, didn't exist at all. They were just holographic projections.
In other words, Di Lingxiao wasn't in 22 Yunhua at all. They didn't know where he was, and Old Yuan was just projecting him here.
"So, have you thought it through?" The old man's smile was very kind.
Looking at Xiao Ling, who kept struggling under the old man's hands, and his wife, who couldn't move at all, Di Lingxiao finally broke down. He sat down in the jar and said absentmindedly, "I agree."
"That's right. After the experiment is completed, whether it succeeds or not, I will guarantee their safety. You can rest assured of that," Old Yuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yimian didn't know what kind of experiment they were going to do, but she guessed that it was very likely to be a death sentence. So, she screamed, "No, Lingxiao, don't agree to it."
Di Lingxiao in the jar smiled bitterly. He looked at Yimian with eyes full of tenderness. "It's been hard on you all these years. After I leave, you have to take good care of Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling, you have to listen to your mother, okay?"
No matter how naughty and mischievous Xiao Ling was, he could feel that the atmosphere wasn't right. He cried, "Dad, come out."
"Silly child, remember, you have to listen to your mother." Di Lingxiao looked at Xiao Ling with eyes full of love.
The pain of parting was finally too much for Yimian to bear. She looked around wildly and screamed, "Save him! Save him!"
As soon as she said that, everyone felt that something was wrong. Old Yuan's eyes focused and he reached out to grab Xiao Ling.
But his hand landed on empty air. Xiao Ling, who had been next to him just a moment ago, had long since left him and returned to Yimian's side.
Next to Yimian, a figure slowly appeared.
Old Yuan was stunned. The smile on his face disappeared as he stared at Yang Xuan.
Di Lingxiao's eyes widened. The change in the situation was beyond his expectations.
"Who are you?" Old Yuan's eyes shone with a dangerous light.
"Please save him. Please save him." Yimian knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan sighed. He helped Yimian up and said, "This is just a projection."
Yimian was stunned. She turned her head and looked around. When she finally realized that something was wrong, she burst into tears.
Yang Xuan didn't pay any more attention to her. He turned to Old Yuan and said, "Old Yuan, right? Tell me, where is the broken arm?"
Old Yuan looked at Yang Xuan's face and looked thoughtful. After a while, he said, "I know who you are. You were the one who stopped my people last time."
Yang Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He was going to find out where Di Lingxiao was before he showed himself. But after Yimian yelled at him, he couldn't hide anymore. He might as well use force.
"My patience is limited. Tell me where the broken arm is, and I'll consider letting you go," he said.
Most likely, Yang Xuan's arrogant attitude had finally angered Old Yuan. He suddenly let out a shrill shriek.
In that instant, the sound wave transformed into a visible ray of light that surged towards Yang Xuan like a tidal wave.
As soon as the sound came out, Yang Xuan set up a barrier around Yimian.
He didn't care, but Yimian and Xiao Ling couldn't take the damage.
