Chapter 222 The Mastermind Behind the Dungeon

Luo Mingyue used secret voice transmission to reply, "Of course."

It is impossible for her to respond to everyone, but she will selectively reply to some people.

The "prisoners" all felt incredible. Most of them looked at the jailer lying on the ground, intending to kill him and then escape. A small number of people gritted their teeth and did not want to let the jailer die easily, so they tried various torture instruments on the jailer one by one, with extremely cruel methods. Some people were in a hurry to escape and did not care about the jailer at all, running towards the door. After reaching the corridor, everyone was stunned because they did not know which direction to run.

Luo Mingyue provided guidance and helped everyone find the escape route.

There were no guards in the entire corridor, and the escaped "prisoners" ran wildly.

When Mo Xiguang heard the words "I am Luo Mingyue", his eyes lit up and he asked in disbelief, "Master is here?"

He hurriedly checked the green jade on his neck. The jade was transparent and not stained with any blood, which showed that he was not the one who brought his master here.

Sisters Yun Jinshu and Yun Xiangsi were also stunned.

Yun Xiangsi slapped his forehead in annoyance and said, "Look at my brain. It's so stupid that I didn't even think of asking Master for help!"

Yun Jinshu said: "Actually, I have thought about it, but I think that when we go out to train, it is normal to suffer a little. We can't trouble Master for everything..."

Yun Xiangsi wanted to cry but had no tears. "But we can't escape. We can only look for Master."

At this time, Luo Mingyue's voice rang in the ears of the two sisters, "Jinshu, Xiangsi, come out."

The two opened the door and walked out, and saw the master leading the third brother Mo Xiguang standing on the sword.

The two sisters bowed to Luo Mingyue and said, "Greetings, Master."

"No need to be polite, come up."

After the disciples stood firm, Luo Mingyue used the sword to clear a path, and on the way he killed the surviving jailers and sent them to heaven.

Then, Luo Mingyue went back to pick up Bai Tian.

Bai Tian didn't get any useful information out of the inquiry. She cursed it as bad luck, ended the jailer's life, and stood on the flying sword.

The layout of the entire prison was like a maze. Although those "prisoners" escaped first, they were naturally no match for Luo Mingyue's flying sword as they could only travel on foot. Soon, Luo Mingyue caught up with them and rushed out of the cell.

There were many guards with knives patrolling outside the prison. When they saw Luo Mingyue coming out, they immediately drew their long knives and asked in horror, "Who is it?!"

Because the formation blocked spiritual spells and isolated the sounds in the dungeon, the guards at the door had no idea what was going on inside.

Luo Mingyue beheaded the guards without saying a word.

At the same time, the "prisoners" in the dungeon followed the guidance of the sword energy and rainbow light and ran out one after another.

At the moment of seeing the light of day again, many people were so excited that they burst into tears.

The dungeon will restrict one's cultivation, but after coming out, the spiritual power in everyone's body will begin to recover.

Some people find the right direction and run, just wanting to get as far away from the dungeon as possible and never wanting to come back for the rest of their lives.

But most of the people in the crowd are smart.

All these smart people knelt down before Luo Mingyue.

"Please help me, Master!"

“Sect Master, my cultivation is at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage. I am considered a strong man when I go out. But since I entered Sha City, I have lost my freedom. I have been locked up in a dark dungeon and tortured for a full six months! If it weren’t for my strong will, I would have gone crazy long ago!” An old man with a gray beard kowtowed to Luo Mingyue several times, his forehead was stained with blood, and tears kept flowing from his eyes. He said, “The Lord of Sha City is a hypocritical beast!”

Bai Tian asked: "What happened to the city lord?"

The old man said, "We used to be friends, but he poisoned me with a glass of wine and locked me up. He also said that the entire underground city was his Gu breeding ground. He was breeding an evil Gu worm. I forgot the specific name of the Gu worm, but I remember that the Gu worm needed the pain, despair and other negative emotions of many people, and the blood of countless people as nutrients... The more powerful the cultivator, the more the Gu worm likes it, so he built a relatively orderly city on the ground, and publicized how friendly his city is to casual cultivators, so as to attract many casual cultivators to come."

"However, the entire Sha City actually only allows people to enter but not leave. On the surface, people are coming and going at the city gate, and many independent cultivators leave every day. But in fact, those independent cultivators who leave are caught and locked up in the prison of this underground city..."

The old man cried very sadly, "My daughter was so young, but she died a month ago... I know that I can't take revenge with my own ability, so I dare to ask Master Luo to help me. As long as the Lord of Shacheng can be killed, I am willing to swear a great oath to the devil in my heart and become your loyal servant with the law of heaven as my witness. Even if you let me die, I won't frown!"

The others were surprised when they heard this, "The mastermind behind this underground prison is actually the city lord?"

"No wonder I was hit with a stick and passed out right after I left Shacheng. When I woke up, I was in a prison cell, nailed to the wall..."

"I'm even more miserable. I worked so hard to save up 100,000 low-grade spirit stones and was going to go to another city to propose to the girl I love, but I was caught and thrown into a cell. Not only was I punished every day, but all the spirit stones on me were taken away. How can I explain to my sweetheart?"

"It's already this time and you're still thinking about your sweetheart?"

"If it weren't for my thoughts about her, I would have collapsed and died in the dungeon. My obsession for living was to see her again before I died. Fortunately, I persisted and finally got rescued. Sect Master Luo is so kind. She brings light and salvation like a god..."

"Master Luo, please avenge us. I am willing to swear allegiance to you, but I am a very stubborn person and don't want to be a slave without dignity. I want to be a menial disciple, is that okay? The kind of disciple who does odd jobs every day..."

"It's good enough to be alive. You are still picky? All of you are insincere. I am the only one who is the most sincere. I am willing to swear on my path and my life now. Please bear witness to the heavens. As long as I can leave Shacheng alive, I will always be grateful to Sect Master Luo for saving my life. No matter where I am in the future, as long as she needs me, I will rush to her side even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers between us. If she doesn't need me, I will not stay by her side shamelessly. I will silently bless her and remember her kindness forever."

Since there were many cultivators present, there were many voices talking, making a continuous buzzing sound.

Mo Xiguang stood up and said, "Stop arguing, and keep quiet in front of Master."

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Luo Mingyue eagerly.

Of course, some people were unwilling to kneel, so they quietly stood far away, bowed to Luo Mingyue, and silently promised in their hearts that they would repay the favor in the future. Then they quickly left with their families, blended into the crowd, and disappeared. Luo Mingyue looked at the dark crowd of immortal cultivators in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and said: "I came here to rescue my apprentice. I will kill the Lord of Sha City, but not to avenge you, just to vent my anger for my apprentice."

Her words were a tactful rejection of these people's idea of ​​following her. Luo Mingyue didn't want to support so many people, she thought it was too troublesome.

But the disciples were deeply moved.

Mo Xiguang murmured: "Master..."

Bai Tian said happily, "Master is so kind."

At this moment, a loud shout came from not far away -

"Who dares to break into the prison?!"

A guard station was set up in front, behind, left and right of the dungeon to prevent anyone from escaping. Now seeing so many people pouring out of the dungeon, the guard stations on all sides were all alarmed, and quickly sent a message to the Lord of Sha City, asking the Lord to come down and take charge of the situation.

"Don't move, you are surrounded!"

The people from the Guard Department were all dressed in black, and each of them was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It is very difficult for ordinary practitioners to advance to a higher level, but this is not the case for evil practitioners and demon practitioners. The members of this guard department are all at the same level of cultivation, and the strength of each person's aura is also the same. Many guards stand together, with their auras faintly connected, forming an invisible net that covers the entire dungeon.

It is not easy to escape.

Even the immortal cultivators who had just run away were frightened by the guards' momentum and came back here. They obediently followed the crowd and knelt down to the leader of Mingyue Sect.

There was no other way. Everyone was kneeling, and if one or two people stood up occasionally, they would be particularly conspicuous and easy to be targeted. Besides, what was wrong with kneeling to your savior? Even kowtow a few times was what you should do.

The leading guard was a fierce man with a hawk-like gaze, a tall and straight figure, and bulging muscles. He looked particularly powerful. He stared at Luo Mingyue and said in a deep voice: "I have seen you in the [Concentrating Heart Mirror], Master Mingyue."

Luo Mingyue smiled and said, "It seems that the mirror sold by the Sect Master is really a good thing. I feel like many people know me now."

The man said expressionlessly, "The Sect Master is famous himself. Moreover, the scene of a Jindan-stage fighting is extremely rare. I believe that all cultivators would want to buy a [Mind-Concentrating Mirror] to treasure up... I heard that the Sect Master fought against hundreds of Jindan-stage sea beasts alone and was able to handle it with ease. Is this true or false?"

"Hundreds?" Luo Mingyue was stunned. She knew that sometimes rumors would be outrageous, but she didn't expect them to be so outrageous. She did kill a lot of sea beasts, but there were only dozens of sea beasts in the Jindan stage at most, not hundreds.

The man looked at her reaction and laughed, "It seems that the rumor is false. Even the sect leader himself is surprised by this matter..."

Luo Mingyue asked, "Are you stalling for time, waiting for your master to come?"

The man nodded in acknowledgment, and then continued: "People in the world think that there are only three Jindan-stage immortal cultivators, but they don't know that there is actually another one who is also a Jindan-stage immortal cultivator. That person is a good friend of our city lord, but he was tricked into this prison by the city lord. My brothers and I used the formation to kill him. From then on, I knew that Jindan-stage immortal cultivators are not that strong, and many of them are just exaggerating..."

"You have killed a Jindan stage before?" Luo Mingyue was not nervous at all. She was very confident in her own strength. She was also waiting for the arrival of the Lord of Sha City, so she chatted with the man with great interest. "So is your Lord powerful?"

Hearing the word "city lord", a trace of fear flashed in the man's eyes. He said, "The city lord is more than powerful. He is simply unfathomable. We brothers have gathered together to kill Jindan stage cultivators, but the city lord was able to repel us all with one move... I feel that his cultivation is at least in the Jindan stage, but over the years, the cultivation realm he has shown to the outside world has always been the great perfection of the foundation building stage. Maybe he is hiding his strength..."

As they were talking, the mayor of Sha City finally arrived.

He came on foot, accompanied by several of his children.

The city lord looked to be in his twenties, with ordinary features. He smiled in a casual and friendly manner.

His children all looked to be in their twenties and were all good-looking, much better looking than the city lord. Among them, the eldest son looked most like the city lord, except that his eyebrows and eyes were more handsome.

"Tsk, it's so lively here, why are all of them coming out?" The city lord asked with a smile as he walked, his tone as if he was greeting a friend.

The old man kneeling in the crowd spat and shouted, "Old thief, today is the day you die. Stop pretending here. I have seen your true face a long time ago!"

"Hey? It's Old Li. It's been so long and you're still alive. I'm so happy. One day I'll warm up a pot of wine and drink with you." The city lord kept smiling. He glanced at Luo Mingyue and her group, but ignored Luo Mingyue herself. Instead, he fixed his sight on Bai Tian. He said, "Isn't this little girl Bai Tian? You are the daughter-in-law I have set my eyes on. It's all my fault that the group of people under my command were ignorant and caught you in such a cruel place... Don't worry, I'll kill your master later and send you to spend the wedding night with my youngest son."

Bai Tian said angrily: "If you dare to touch my master, I will kill you all!"

"Hahaha, you are really good at bragging. I like the way you young people don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Even your master is not my opponent, so how can you kill me?" The city lord smiled and shook his head, and said, "In addition, Yun Jinshu and Yun Xiangsi, you two are lucky to be favored by my eldest son. When you become his concubines in the future, you must learn to serve him and please him. My eldest son has a bad temper..."

"I'm begging for your life!" Luo Mingyue couldn't listen any more. She originally thought that the city lord could tell her some useful information, but he just kept talking nonsense. Luo Mingyue didn't like to hear any of the words. She directly controlled the flying sword and slashed towards the city lord.

"Old man, suffer death!"

The sharp sword flew over like a comet hitting the moon.

The city lord looked calm. He raised his hand, released a strong spiritual barrier, and said disdainfully: "You..."

As soon as he said a word, the sword easily penetrated the spiritual barrier and cut off one of his arms.

"Father!"

The expressions on his children's faces changed from calm to panic, because the arm was not severed instantly. Everyone could clearly see that the long sword scraped off piece by piece of flesh on the arm in just a dozen seconds, and finally cut off the arm.

There were white bones lying on the ground, stained with blood.

During the whole process, the city lord's body was fixed in place by a powerful force, keeping him in the original posture. He was unable to dodge, escape, or resist. He could only turn his neck and watch his arms fall. Feeling the piercing pain in his body, he let out a shrill scream from his throat.

Time seems so long at this moment.

He didn't know how long he screamed, he just felt his throat was hoarse and smoking.

The worst thing was that he couldn't use any of the spiritual power in his body.
