In the palace, the Mountain Lord's eyes flickered. He waved his sleeves and a layer of green light shot out, covering the entire area. This was to prevent any powerful cultivators from using their divine consciousness to spy on them.
Other than them, there were also the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise Clans in the palace. They were all people the Mountain Lord trusted.
To him, as long as he knew where Luo Feng and the rest were locked up, everything else would be easy.
After he rescued Luo Feng, he would tear open this universe and leave. The universe was so vast, and there were so many universes. He could just find a place to live in seclusion. Who could find him then?
As for the life and death of the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions, what did that have to do with him?
In the Mountain Lord's eyes, all the races in the Eight Desolates and Four Seas were just pawns he used to buy time.
"If that's the case, shall we act tonight? I'm worried that if we wait too long, Gu Changge will sense that something is wrong and move Master, Sister, and the rest away … "
Then, Xiao Yang and the rest became serious, especially Xiao Yang. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He couldn't wait to go to the dungeon and save his Master and sister.
"From your investigation, that should be where the Second Mountain Lord and the rest are locked up."
"There's no time to lose. It seems that we'll have to make our move tonight." The Mountain Lord nodded with a rare smile on his face.
Then, everyone discussed the details of their next move. They wanted to be 100% sure that they would not make any mistakes.
In the blink of an eye, dusk fell. The entire Sky Deer City was shrouded in a layer of magnificent fog. Streaks of bright stars fell from the sky.
"When the time comes, some of you will guard the entrance. If there are any strange movements, you will be notified immediately." The Mountain Lord's face was solemn. He glanced at all the cultivators in front of him and ordered.
"We understand. Don't worry, Mountain Lord."
Everyone's expression was solemn. They knew how important tonight's move was. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Then, the Mountain Lord waved his sleeves, and ancient and mysterious runes appeared in the void. They turned into a hazy glow, concealing everyone's figures.
He appeared to be rather cautious. While sensing the movements of the surrounding cultivators who were monitoring this place, he concealed himself and left the palace complex, heading towards the street in the southwest direction.
Although it was night time, 623 Heavenly Deer City was still brightly lit. There were figures moving about in the various palaces and pavilions.
Singing could be heard on the boat. In the distance, the fishing boats were like beans, bustling with noise and excitement.
Stone gambling dens, teahouses, shops, brothels … Cultivators could be seen in almost every place.
Apart from the occasional patrolling soldiers in the sky, the entire Sky Deer City seemed rather peaceful. It was completely different from the solemn and heavy atmosphere of war in the past.
Xiao Yang, Gu Wudi, and the others carefully concealed their auras as they followed behind the Mountain Lord.
Even though the Mountain Lord had stepped in to protect them, it was impossible for them not to be nervous at such a critical juncture.
However, the Great Mountain Master's Dharmic powers were profound and his means were extraordinary. It was even harder to find a flaw in his concealment divine ability.
They left the palace and walked for hundreds of miles on the streets, but no one found them.
This more or less made them feel a lot more at ease, and they felt even more confident.
"After passing through the stone gambling den, there's a dilapidated house in the southwest direction. That's the suspicious place we've investigated," Xiao Yang said.
Xiao Yang opened his mouth and said. He looked at the brightly lit stone gambling den in front of him and pointed to a house behind it.
From where they were, they could only vaguely see that the light there was dimmer, as if no one lived there.
"There's indeed an obscure fluctuation there. We'll have to be careful later."
"Gu Changge is so cunning. He might have set up many traps there."
The Great Mountain Lord nodded. His expression was slightly solemn, and a faint golden glow was gathering in his originally pitch-black eyes.
The aura of the entire world, the changes of the laws, and even the fluctuations of the Great Dao appeared in his mind.
Such a method already involved the origin of the world. It was extremely mysterious.
Following which, the group carefully concealed their auras and stealthily made their way to the dilapidated house.
"Young Master, as you've guessed, the Mountain Lord and the others have secretly left the palace they've been resting in for the past few days …"
"According to our spies, they should be heading in the southwest direction."
At the same time, on top of a palace in the southwest direction of Sky Deer City.
Gu Changge stood there and looked at the group of splendid palaces in the distance. He seemed to be deep in thought.
Behind him, Ni Shang's figure appeared and spoke respectfully.
"It seems like the fish is about to enter the net. I didn't waste so much time setting it up."
Gu Changge smiled faintly and retracted his gaze.
"Young Master, you're so clever. The Mountain Lord thinks that everything is under control. He doesn't know that you've already arranged everything."
Ni Shang looked at Gu Changge's back. A smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face. Her eyes were bright.
If Ancestor Bone hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known that Gu Wudi, who was by the Mountain Lord's side, was actually a hidden chess piece that Gu Changge had placed there.
In that case, Gu Changge had already predicted this situation and arranged for Gu Wudi to be there early on.
All of these arrangements really made her feel amazed.
If she had been the Mountain Lord, she would not have been able to figure out what had gone wrong even until the day she died.
The Mountain Lord thought that his rescue plan was foolproof, but in reality, it was already under Gu Changge's control.
He even revealed the location of Luo Feng and the Second Mountain Lord to Gu Wudi. He then told Gu Wudi how to explain it to the Mountain Lord so that the Mountain Lord wouldn't be suspicious and cautious.
"Judging by the time, it should be about time."
"Pass down the order and gather everyone. The fish has taken the bait. It's time for me to reel in the net."
Gu Changge smiled and moved. As he took a step forward, there seemed to be invisible stairs condensing in front of him. With one step, he disappeared thousands of miles away.
"Yes, Young Master," Ni Shang replied respectfully. She also disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, several terrifying auras appeared in the dark of Sky Deer City. A vast wave of energy swept across the sky like a raging wave, shaking the heavens and intimidating the universe. Many cultivators and living beings who didn't know what was going on trembled and almost prostrated themselves before this aura.
The leaders of the Eight Desolates Ten Regions, who were discussing tomorrow's peace treaty, also trembled. Their expressions changed as they almost thought that it was the Upper World's experts.
At that moment, an inexplicable terrifying aura descended and enveloped the entire Sky Deer City.
On the other side, Xiao Yang and the rest, who had carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers, finally found the dilapidated house.
From the outside, it looked like the owner of the house had fled before a great battle. It was extremely hurried and there were still some things that hadn't been moved away. It looked extremely desolate.
There were many wormwood plants that were half the height of a person growing in the corners of the walls. They were covered in vines and looked extremely creepy at night.
This place was extremely quiet. There were no patrolling soldiers.
However, it was because of this that Xiao Yang and the rest felt uneasy and were even more careful.
"Leave some people outside. The rest, follow me down."
"There's a formation pattern here that can hide from others," the Great Mountain Chieftain suddenly said.
At this moment, the Great Mountain Master suddenly opened his mouth. There seemed to be two candlelight burning in the depths of his eyes. They were golden and dazzling, and they emitted an intimidating pressure.
He stared at a courtyard not far away. With a raise of his hand, divine talismans were shot out. Instantly, the light there disappeared, and a vague door spread out like ripples.
Seeing this scene, everyone was excited. Through that door, they could see a very well-hidden passageway.
At that moment, they no longer had any doubts about where the Second Mountain Chieftain and the rest were imprisoned.
"Time is of the essence. I made a move to hide the heavenly secrets here. They won't notice us for a while," the Great Mountain Chieftain continued.
Strands of rules and order fell from his robes. At that moment, his entire body was filled with celestial light. He was powerful and mysterious.
Hearing this, everyone became serious. Then, Xiao Yang, Gu Wudi, and the rest chose to follow the Great Mountain Chieftain.
The Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird Clan's experts stayed outside to keep watch. If there were any strange movements, they would immediately send news.
However, to everyone's surprise, there were not many prison guards guarding the tunnel.
Therefore, the moment the Great Mountain Chieftain entered, he waved his sleeves. A vast aura blasted out, sending many prison guards in front of him flying. They fainted and fell to the ground. No one knew if they were dead or alive.
"Great, it's really here!"
Xiao Yang and the rest were excited. They followed closely behind him and did not notice anything amiss.
The layout of the tunnel was similar to that of many dungeons. There were many perennially lit candles on both sides. It was dark and damp.
Not long after entering, they saw a few people imprisoned. They were Luo Ying and the Second Mountain Chieftain.
However, their four senses were obviously sealed. They could not speak or hear anything. They could only see the Great Mountain Chieftain, Xiao Yang, and the rest rushing over from outside the dungeon.
There were chains wrapped around Luo Ying and the Second Mountain Chieftain. These chains were obviously made of a special material and were extremely sturdy.
They were locked in the depths of the dungeon and could not move.
On the other side, Luo Feng was in a similar condition. However, he was unconscious and only had a weak aura.
Seeing this, Xiao Yang and the rest were pleasantly surprised. Even the Great Mountain Chieftain smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.
"It seems that Gu Changge is very confident in his arrangements. He did not send any experts to guard this place."
Xiao Yang looked around. Apart from the few imprisoned people, he did not see anyone guarding this place.
This surprised him a little. However, he felt that Gu Changge was very confident and did not think that anyone would dare to barge in and rescue the Second Mountain Chieftain.
"Master, sister, I'm coming to save you."
Xiao Yang did not think too much. He stepped forward and runes rose from his body. He walked toward the chained Second Mountain Chieftain and Luo Ying in an attempt to save them.
However, what made him feel strange was why Luo Ying and the Second Mountain Chieftain were looking at him with fear, helplessness, and pain.
Especially Luo Ying. Her eyes were wide open, as if there was a great terror hidden in this place.
"Something's wrong. Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?"
However, at this moment, the smile on the Great Mountain Chieftain's face suddenly froze. He frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.
At the same time, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the silent dungeon. It was neither fast nor slow, but it gradually came from outside.
Hearing this sound, no matter how slow Xiao Yang and the rest were, they could feel that something was wrong. Their hearts skipped a beat.
Their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately took out the weapons in their hands.
The plan to rescue the Second Mountain Chieftain and the rest did not seem to be going so smoothly.
"What?"
"Who is it?"
The Great Mountain Chieftain felt a chill run down his spine. His hair stood on end as he turned around abruptly.
His voice was filled with anger and contained a special magical power. Even a Supreme Martial Artist would be injured by this Dao Shout.
However, the moment the Great Mountain Chieftain opened his mouth, there was a buzzing sound, and the four walls of the dungeon suddenly lit up with a dazzling brilliance.
Runes of the Great Dao appeared one after another. They were like bright lamps, dazzling and blinding, causing tears to flow out of their eyes. In an instant, they lit up the dark dungeon.
Boom!!!
These runes of the Great Dao contained a terrifying aura. It was like a river of stars floating there, forming all things in the heavens, mountains, rivers, stars, suns, moons, and rivers.
At the same time, some kind of supreme rule appeared in this place. It came from all directions and was imprinted in the void.
Vast and mighty chaotic fog could be seen rising, as if an ancient palace was floating within it.
Xiao Yang and the rest could even hear the ancient chanting of sutras. They could see a tall and blurry figure sitting within. It was like an ancient demon god that could suppress all the worlds in the heavens.
Such a scene caused their expressions to change drastically. They were filled with fear and disbelief.
It was obvious that these experts had made arrangements to completely seal off this place. Even their auras could not be transmitted out.
"It's you … Gu Changge!!"
"How did you know we would come here …"
When he saw the white-robed man walking in from outside the dungeon, Xiao Yang's expression changed drastically. His voice was trembling and even a little pale. He could not believe it.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
Gu Changge had a carefree smile on his face. He shook his head lightly and did not explain anything.
As his words fell, a vast wave of energy suddenly came from behind him. It was like a mountain sea that was rushing forward, wanting to drown Xiao Yang and the rest.
Many Dao Attainments cultivators appeared. Among them, the auras of Ancestor Bone and the rest were the most terrifying.
Just by standing there, they were suppressing Xiao Yang and the rest to bend their backs and worship them.
Such an aura made their faces pale with fear. They could not hide their fear and could not stand steadily. They could only look at the Great Mountain Chieftain for help.
"You knew that I would come to rescue them?"
Although the Great Mountain Chieftain was much calmer than Xiao Yang and the rest, his expression was also heavy. He stared at Gu Changge and asked.
