After Lin Yan entered the "Ji Yuan", he felt that he was shrouded in darkness. Even if he covered his eyes with vitality, he still couldn't see clearly.
Immediately, he mobilized the "Gengjin Qi" in his body, causing it to slowly cover his eyes, and the world in front of him instantly became clear.
In fact, ordinary warriors would not dare to try operations like this easily. The "Qi of Geng Metal" is indestructible, it is so sharp, and human eyes are extremely fragile. If you are not careful, you will end up blind.
This kind of consequence is quite good. If the "Gengjin Qi" breaks out, not only the eyes, but even the brain will be turned into a paste.
Fortunately, Lin Yan had the "skill of cutting" and could achieve precise control. In addition, he had mastered the "Qi of Gengjin" for many years and was already quite familiar with it, so he dared to do such an operation.
His body had been covered by "Heaven's Will", and after he could clearly see the situation inside the cave, he walked towards the depths.
At the end of the road ahead is a continuous staircase. Looking down, it's bottomless and I don't know where it leads.
Lin Yan calmed down, and then cautiously walked down the stairs. The darkness around him seemed to be swallowing him up.
After passing through the long stairs, there was a fork in the road, and there were vaguely visible cells inside, which should be where prisoners were held.
This is a private prison, and those imprisoned may not necessarily be criminals who have violated the law, but more likely those who have violated the interests of Xuantian Sect and angered them!
Lin Yan restrained his breath and entered slowly, with light flowing in his eyes, taking in a panoramic view of the situation inside.
I saw prisoners in ragged clothes being held in each cell. Most of them were slumped on the ground, their eyes dull, as if they were salted fish that had lost their dreams.
Of course, Lin Yan knew that these people were not like this, but were tortured by the cruel reality and lost hope. They became like zombies, staying here waiting to die.
From time to time, shrill screams came from the depths, mixed with angry curses. Lin Yan frowned and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
Soon, the scene in front of Lin Yan came into view. It was several people in white clothes tortured a prisoner.
The latter was naked from the waist up and was being tied to a cross. His whole body was covered in scars. One of them, dressed in white, picked up a red-hot iron, approached the prisoner with a grin, and said, "Try this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed the branding iron in his hand on the prisoner's chest. A "sizzling" sound was heard, followed by bursts of white smoke, like a barbecue over charcoal fire.
The prisoner let out a shrill scream and kept struggling. Unfortunately, his body was tied tightly and he couldn't break free at all. Eventually, the severe pain caused him to faint.
The man in white frowned, spat, and cursed: "You're so careless, how could you just faint?"
The companion next to him said: "It's normal for a warrior in the Tongmai realm!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a bucket of cold water from the side, smiled, and poured it on the prisoner's head.
"Uh... uh!" The prisoner who had already fainted was suddenly awakened by the cold water. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the people in white clothes in front of him.
The man in white threw the bucket aside and said ferociously: "Okay, let's continue!"
The look of horror in the prisoner's eyes was palpable, but he was unable to change the situation and could only accept the cruel reality coming towards him.
"Ahhhh..."
The screams continued, but Lin Yan had no idea of continuing to watch. Whether these people were good or bad was meaningless to him. He only knew that the target he was looking for was not on this level.
Under Lin Yan's perception, the people imprisoned here are basically Tongmai realm warriors. This is far from the battle back then, and it is absolutely impossible!
Turning around and leaving this floor, Lin Yan continued to go down the stairs. If the prediction is correct, the further down here, the stronger the warriors imprisoned.
However, as he continued downward, Lin Yan noticed that his perception was gradually weakened. If this continued, he would not be able to perceive the target he wanted.
Lin Yan took out a piece of cloth, which he found from the place where the battle was suspected. It should be an important clue.
He summoned Mumu from the small cloth pocket, and then placed the piece of cloth in front of the little bronze beast.
As he got to know Mumu better, he discovered that the perception of the little bronze beast was extremely sharp. As long as there was something as a reference, he could accurately find the owner of the thing within a certain range.
This ability to find people and objects is quite useful now that Lin Yan's perception is blocked.
The little bronze beast was quietly sensing. After a moment, Mumu seemed to sense something, his eyes flashed, and then he ran towards somewhere.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yan hurriedly followed, following Mumu all the way down, passing through several floors of prisons without stopping, and finally stopped outside a prison.
This place is already very deep, and unlike the closely arranged prison cells above, there are only single cells standing alone.
There are no other people here, and naturally there is no such thing as torture. It is even unknown how often the people above will come down.
Mumu stopped here, and Lin Yan knew that he might have been close to some truth.
In the dark environment, the atmosphere here was lonely and depressing. Lin Yan put Mu Mu away and walked inside.
Inside was a dark stone room. Lin Yan looked there, and there seemed to be a figure inside, bound by iron chains. He was motionless, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
When he walked in and took a look, he found that the iron bars outside the stone room were not ordinary iron, but tens of thousands of years of ice iron. The toughness of this material is extremely strong, even a warrior in the Xiantian realm would have difficulty breaking it open.
Using this kind of material to make the "cage of trapped beasts" shows that Xuantian Sect attaches great importance to the people inside and is afraid that they will escape from the trap.
Perhaps there are more than just this person. Everyone further down the ladder is probably treated like this. After all, the people imprisoned in this depth are not just ordinary people!
Lin Yan's eyes broke through the darkness and looked inside, only to see a person sitting cross-legged on the ground, with disheveled hair, and his face could not be seen clearly. His limbs were tightly bound by thick iron chains, and there were faint light patterns flowing on them, obviously there were formation patterns.
Not only that, there were two slightly thin iron chains that directly locked the man's pipa bones, completely cutting off the possibility of him breaking the situation with force.
As Lin Yan approached, the man's ears twitched slightly, and then he suddenly rushed over. The violent movement made the chain rattle, and the light patterns on it flowed, forcing him to be suppressed.
Even so, the man's hands still held tightly the iron bar prison cell made of ten thousand years of ice iron, and said in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"
Lin Yan looked at him warily and found that the other party was staring directly in his direction. Now that my "Heaven Will" state has not been lifted, it stands to reason that no one can sense it.
Even if this person was a top-notch master back then and has been trapped here for many years, it is still unknown how much of his strength he still had back then. In addition, the concealment effect of Lin Yan's "Tian Zhi" is extremely strong, and those who don't understand it will have no way to start.
However, Lin Yan felt that the other party's state did not seem like he was deceiving him, but that he really felt something.
Just when Lin Yan was thinking about it, the man suddenly opened his mouth again and said: "A person from Mo Sect?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan's pupils shrank suddenly. The other party must have noticed something, and he was someone who knew Momen very well, otherwise he would not have known so much information in such a short period of time.
Lin Yan did not choose to continue hiding. Instead, he released the state of "Heavenly Will", appeared, and said to the warrior in the stone chamber: "Are you from the Mo Sect? Or are you related to the Mo Sect?"
The warrior shook his head and said: "I am not a member of the Mo family, but I have met many people from the Mo family. The methods you used gave me some special aura, so I can identify them!"
Lin Yan secretly thought: "Sure enough!" It seems that although the concealment effect of "Tianzhi" is good, there are always exceptions in everything, and today the person in front of him discovered the clue.
He continued to ask: "There are many dangers here. It is not a good place. I wonder what you are doing by taking the risk to sneak in?"
Lin Yan felt that what this person said was a bit conservative. This is the private prison of Xuantian Sect. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. It's not that Lin Yan is arrogant. It is estimated that the number of people who can sneak into this place over the years is probably less than the Five Fingers. !
Not to mention anything else, even if a big shot like the ancestor of the Xuantian Sect, who is almost at the top, enters this place in a big way, as long as he does not want people here to find out, he will not be exposed.
Of course, they rely on their status and generally would not do such a thing. For others, sneaking into Xuantian Sect, passing through the many guards, and reaching the "Ji Abyss" is already a feat!
Lin Yan looked at him with burning eyes and said, "I'm here to find someone!"
The man said: "Oh, who is it?"
Lin Yan did not answer, but put his hand into his arms and took out something. It was a gold longevity lock, with a unicorn pattern engraved on one side and a jade inlay on the other side, with the word "焱" engraved on it.
At first he didn't care much about it, but when the man's eyes fell on the longevity lock, it was hard to look away. He stared at the object, and an extremely hoarse voice came from his throat, and he said word by word: "Where did this thing come from?"
Lin Yan said: "It's a family heirloom!" After a pause, he added: "It's mine!"
The disheveled warrior's eyes suddenly burst into light, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yan. His voice trembled and he said: "It's you! Yes, yes, after all the time, you should have grown this big." !Child, what’s your name?”
Lin Yan frowned. Through the previous guidance and the man's performance at the moment, he had vaguely guessed some of the truth. He adjusted his breathing, calmed down and replied: "My name is Lin Yan!"
