Chapter 221: Thank you for saving my life

"Master..."

Bai Tian cried out in grievance.

She looked miserable, with her limbs nailed to the wall, her body covered with criss-crossing whip marks, and her face as pale as paper.

A man in black stood in front of her, holding a bone whip in his hand. The whip was made up of sections of white bones with barbs growing on them, emitting a cold white light.

The man in black sneered, "Who are you calling Master? I think you are hallucinating because of the beating. I hate women like you who look weak and harmless on the surface. You are always pretending to be pitiful. It's really disgusting!"

Bai Tian said: "What do you mean by weak? If you have the guts, put me down. I can twist your head off with my bare hands!"

After saying that, Bai Tian asked unwillingly, "I have no grudge against you, why are you torturing me?"

The man in black snorted, and without saying the reason, he swung the whip in his hand again, "I will mercifully tell you when you die!"

However, the whip did not hit the target because Luo Mingyue reached out and grabbed the whip.

The bone spurs melted under the blazing white flames and the entire whip was quickly ignited.

The man in black quickly threw away the whip. His pupils shrank slightly, and he said in shock: "How did you get in? This prison is made of forbidden spirit materials, and there is also a formation. Anyone who is within the range of the formation will be imprisoned in cultivation..."

"Hmm? Is it forbidden to use spiritual power here?"

Luo Mingyue felt nothing at all. She raised her eyebrows, cast a spell to rescue Bai Tian from the wall, and took out a few healing pills and stuffed them all into Bai Tian's mouth.

"Thank you, Master."

Bai Tian thanked him incoherently. She chewed the pill in her mouth, and her injuries healed quickly, but her spiritual power was still in a restricted state.

Luo Mingyue took out a green dress from the storage space and said, "Here, put it on."

"Master..." Bai Tian stretched out her hand to take it. Her nose felt sore and she had an urge to cry. When she was beaten before, she was still very tough and cursed at the man in black, refusing to show her vulnerable side. Now that she changed into the green dress given by her master, her tears could not stop falling.

Luo Mingyue saw this and felt very upset. She said, "Why didn't you ask me for help earlier? Did you have to be injured like this before contacting me?"

Bai Tian said: "I folded up the paper puppet that my master gave me, sewed it into a red cloth, and hung it around my neck as a pendant. After I was led into this underground city, I was ambushed and fainted. When I woke up, I couldn't use the spiritual power in my body, and the red cloth was hidden in my clothes..."

There are only two ways to trigger this paper puppet. One is through spiritual power, and the other is to drip one's own blood on it.

Bai Tian sniffed and said, "I couldn't control where his whip landed, so I could only twist my body and try to smear the blood on the paper man, but my limbs were fixed... I almost thought I was going to be beaten to death. Fortunately, he just hit the paper man with one whip, and the paper man was stained with my blood, which attracted Master."

Luo Mingyue didn't know what to say after hearing this. She sighed and said helplessly, "Don't hide the location of the paper figurine so secretly next time."

Bai Tian nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

In fact, Bai Tian felt that the paper puppet given to her by her master was like a lucky charm, hanging around her neck so that she could carry it with her every day. She didn't expect that it would cause such great difficulties for her to ask for help. It seems that she should listen to her master in the future. If she had hidden the paper puppet in her sleeve, the red cloth would have been soaked with blood, and her master would have come to save her long ago...

While the master and disciple were chatting, the man in black had been moving stealthily. When he saw that he was only one step away from the door, he raised the corner of his mouth, tried to restrain his inner excitement, held his breath, and tiptoed, thinking that he could escape in this way. Just when his hand was about to touch the door, Luo Mingyue waved her hand and blew his body back with a gust of strong wind.

The black-clothed man was slapped against the wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said with a frustrated look, "Why can't I mobilize my own spiritual power? This shows that the formation under my feet has not failed. How did you do it? Aren't you using spiritual power?"

Luo Mingyue was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She simply used her spiritual power to press his body against the wall, and then used nails as big as fists to directly drive into his joints.

The man in black howled miserably, his voice filled with tears: "You nailed it in the wrong place! This thing is nailed to the wrist and ankle!"

"Oh, sorry."

Luo Mingyue knew her mistakes and was able to correct them. She controlled the nail to be pulled out and moved to another position.

The man in black was crying and wanted to slap himself twice on the spot. If he had known earlier, he would not have said anything more. He ended up with four more holes on his body...

The man in black said, "Please spare my life, senior! I am just a small errand boy, I am not the mastermind!"

Luo Mingyue asked: "Who is the mastermind?"

The man in black's lips were trembling as he kept repeating words of begging for mercy. It was obvious that he did not want to confess.

Luo Mingyue regretted a little why she used the Life-Blessing Divine Fire to burn the bone whip. Fortunately, there were many handy torture instruments in the room. She swept her eyes over them.

Bai Tian understood Master's intention and took the initiative to say, "Master, let me do it!"

Luo Mingyue nodded, "That's great, it's just right for you to take revenge yourself."

Bai Tian said: "This kind of scum is not worthy of Master's attack. It's very hard for Master to whip us, and we must not let outsiders get away with it."

Luo Mingyue: “…”

Bai Tian added: "It's all my fault. Last time, Master hit me only twice and I begged for mercy because of the pain. In fact, I hoped Master would hit me a few more times..."

Luo Mingyue said indifferently: "Okay, as long as you are willing, I can find time to give you another whip."

Bai Tian was overjoyed, "Really, Master? I am willing, I am very willing!"

The man in black was completely dumbfounded after hearing this. He looked at Bai Tian with a horrified look in his eyes, "You... you like being beaten? Then why did you ask your master for help when I beat you so hard just now?"

Bai Tian said with disdain: "Nonsense, how can your attack be the same as my master's? Only we disciples are qualified to be beaten by the master. You are not qualified at all. I think you have dirtyed the master's eyes."

The man in black yelled, "Madman, you are really a madman!"

Bai Tian took a few needles from the torture table nearby and pierced them into the fingernails of the man in black.

The silver needle penetrated into the flesh little by little.

The man in black struggled violently, and when he struggled, the nails would tear the wounds on his limbs, causing even greater pain. He struggled desperately like a dying fish on the shore.

Bai Tian said: "My master is here, I don't want you to be covered in blood, it won't look good, so the wound should be hidden..."

Luo Mingyue smiled and said, "It's okay, just do whatever you want. I'll leave him to you to interrogate, I'll go out for a walk."

"Okay, Master."

Bai Tian was in a closed cell with dark red walls all around. There was a lighting device in the room, and the light was bright white, allowing people to clearly see the coagulated blood on the torture instruments. There were some bones and broken limbs placed in the corner, and I didn't know if it was specially placed to create a horror atmosphere or if they hadn't been dealt with in time.

Luo Mingyue originally wanted to burn them, but then she changed her mind and thought that these were the remains of the "victims", so she should not destroy them.

Luo Mingyue opened the door and walked out, and found that it was a corridor. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor. The doors were all closed and the sound insulation effect was very good. Standing in the corridor, one could not hear any sound from the rooms at all.

Luo Mingyue expanded his spiritual sense.

The so-called spiritual consciousness is the cultivator's perception of the outside world. This perception is very clear and can easily reveal other people's privacy.

Therefore, when cultivators come to a strange place, they generally do not casually expand their spiritual sense, because if the spiritual sense covers the body of a strong person, it will make the strong person feel it and think it is a provocation.

Especially in crowded places such as inns, if one opens his spiritual sense and runs into men and women making love, it would be quite embarrassing. Therefore, whenever Luo Mingyue arrives at a place, he will not open his spiritual sense at the first moment.

However, in this dungeon prison, you don't have to worry about seeing these scenes.

The divine consciousness was overwhelming and silently enveloped the entire Shacheng.

In an instant, countless images and sounds came flooding in.

The Sha City on the ground looked relatively peaceful. There were mortals setting up stalls on the streets, and the city lord's guards were patrolling, and the order was good.

The dungeon, however, is synonymous with chaos, blood, and sin.

This prison alone has thousands of cells, and each cell is filled with torture instruments.

In every cell, there is at least one person being tortured.

In addition, there is a cell with large bunk beds, where hundreds of cultivators are imprisoned. Some of them have despair on their faces, some are in a daze, and some are trying hard to find ways to save themselves.

Luo Mingyue's face darkened because she found that in addition to Bai Tian, ​​the third, fourth, and fifth disciples were also imprisoned here, but they were being tortured in different rooms.

The third disciple, Mo Xiguang, was in the room next to Bai Tian.

Mo Xiguang's situation was worse. He had several burns on his body from a branding iron. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, but he raised his head, revealing his fragile neck and Adam's apple. He challenged, "Come on, brand me a scar on my neck too if you can!"

Luo Mingyue swept her spiritual sense and found that Mo Xiguang also had a pendant hanging around his neck. The pendant was a piece of green jade in the shape of a peace locket, and inside the green jade was a bent and folded paper puppet.

Luo Mingyue discovered that the jade had good sealing properties. Under normal circumstances, Mo Xiguang could have used his spiritual power to penetrate the jade and exert its influence on the paper puppet, summoning his master to save his life. But now, even if all the blood in Mo Xiguang's body was drained out, it could not flow into the paper puppet.

Mo Xiguang specifically ridiculed the jailer, probably because he wanted to anger him and let the branding iron fall on his chest. If he was lucky enough to crush the jade, then Mo Xiguang could summon his master for help. But he couldn't say the chest openly. After all, the jailer was not a fool and it was impossible for him to obey the orders of the "prisoner", so Mo Xiguang deliberately exposed his neck.

Unexpectedly, the jailer was not fooled at all. He said maliciously: "Neck? No, I can't kill you directly, but I can make you live a life worse than death..."

As he spoke, the jailer gently touched Mo Xiguang's thigh with the branding iron and said with a smile: "I think this place is very good. Don't worry, I will use the branding iron to clean your whole body, except for your face. After all, it would be a pity to ruin such a handsome face."

When Mo Xiguang noticed the location of the branding iron, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He stared at the jailer, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance in his mind.

The jailer said nonchalantly, "Yes, that's the look in your eyes. I admire your stubbornness. I hope you can still have the energy to glare at me later, instead of begging for mercy. That would be meaningless..."

As for the fourth apprentice Yun Jinshu and the fifth apprentice Yun Xiangsi, they are a pair of twin sisters. The sisters were imprisoned in the same room and nailed to the wall face to face. When the elder sister was being tortured, the younger sister verbally abused the jailer so that the jailer would not beat her sister but beat her instead. However, as the elder sister, Yun Jinshu could not bear to let her younger sister get hurt. Yun Jinshu's personality was originally relatively gentle and she never swore, but today she swore even more foully than her younger sister just to attract fire.

The jailer grinned and said, "What a touching sisterly love. Don't worry, I will treat both of you one by one. No one can escape. You don't have to fight over it. I have always been kind-hearted. I will let both of you get hurt equally, but..."

The jailer had just said half of his words when he suddenly fell to the ground, as if a huge rock was pressing on his back, and he couldn't get up.

Not only him, but all the jailers in every prison cell lay prone on the ground.

It was impossible for Luo Mingyue to break into each room one by one to rescue people, so he used a large-scale spell to suppress the jailers in each room and lowered the "prisoners" down from the wall. He then took out the guqin from the storage space, sat down and played a short song.

The sound of the piano flowed and spread to every corner of the dungeon.

The wounds of every "prisoner" in the prison are healing rapidly. The effect is better than taking healing pills, and their bodies are full of strength.

"Who saved me?"

"Thank you for your help, please leave your name. I will repay you for your kindness in the future!"

"Oh my God, I was so badly injured, and now it's all healed!"

"May I ask your name? When I get home, I will ask my family to prepare a generous gift to thank you!"

After the "prisoners" regained their ability to move freely, they were surprised and the first thing they wanted to know was who saved them. When going out, they should be considerate of the ways of the world and learn to be grateful.

Luo Mingyue originally didn't plan to leave her name, but then she thought that she was doing good deeds, which was aboveboard and there was no need to be sneaky, so she said, "I am Luo Mingyue."

"Master Mingyue?"

"The Mingyue Sect is supposed to be very far away from here, but the Sect Master actually came to save us?"

"Master, I have seen you in the [Concentrating Mind Mirror]. I am just a casual cultivator. I never thought that I could hear your voice and be saved by you in my lifetime. Are you still in need of a servant? I am willing to work like a slave for you and obey your orders from now on!" This was from a clever cultivator. He was fed up with the days of being a casual cultivator with no one to rely on, and he longed to take this opportunity to get on the ladder to heaven and be a servant to the master. It would not be shameful but a great blessing.

"Master, wuwuwu... Your healing power is so strong, thank you for saving my child..." This was an old father who was imprisoned in the same cell with his child. He thought he could not escape death, but he did not expect that he would have a chance to be rescued. He cried with joy.

Some people pointed at the jailer lying prone in the cell and asked cautiously, "Master, can I have revenge?"
