When Qu Qianling landed, the warehouse in the valley was already in chaos. Some of the buildings above ground were destroyed, leaving only ruins.
However, the auras of Ling Yao and the other boy were clearly still underground.
Qu Qianling is impatient. Anyway, no one here can watch enough. If you just break in, you will know what is going on. With this thought in mind, she walked up with her sword in hand as if there was no one else around.
"who?"
In the chaos, someone finally noticed the strange visitor who suddenly appeared.
However, before the guard came forward to ask, Qu Qianling turned her eyes and swung her sword away.
A sword energy flew away and cut the man's throat instantly!
Qu Qianling's hand instantly calmed the other guards who heard the sound.
After one or two daring guys died summarily under the opponent's sword, the guards finally recognized the strength gap between themselves and the intruders and fled.
Qu Qianling just cut down a few slower guys without going after the others. Anyway, to her, these guys are nothing more than miscellaneous soldiers.
She also didn't mind that the people at the Temple of the God King knew about her visit - as long as she wanted to hide, the people at the Temple of the God King couldn't find her at all.
She used her sword to push aside the fallen rocks on the broken walls on the ground. After a simple search to no avail, she clicked her tongue, held up the Jue in her hand, and pointed toward the ground——
"Bitter!"
The scorching beam of light immediately exploded from the ground, and a large hole that penetrated two floors of the ground appeared directly on top of the ruins.
Qu Qianling lowered her head and looked at the entrance of the cave, only to see a group of white things that seemed to be entrenched on the underground floor:
"Ouch! What the hell!"
"Hisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."
Suddenly, a head popped up from the hole and made an aggrieved voice, as if accusing her:
"Which bastard?! Ah, it's you... I'm downstairs, why do you make holes when you disagree with me, I almost died..."
The ice python in its complete form is so huge that it almost stretches half of the room.
It's no wonder that after receiving Ling Yao's instructions, it casually messed around on the underground floor and caught all the guards off guard. The entire warehouse was turned upside down, and no one dared to stop it from going "crazy".
As soon as the reinforcements, Qu Qianling, arrived, the ice python naturally stopped its original movements and prepared to take her to find Ling Yao.
Woohoo, there are so many delicious foods in the warehouse, I haven't finished them yet...
Qu Qianling patted the head of the suddenly enlarged ice python without any sympathy and stepped on it:
"lead the way."
"hiss……"
Okay, what does it say about the devil? Just lead the way obediently!
However, the ice python had just penetrated deep into the dungeon when the strong smell of blood hit his face.
Qu Qianling frowned, covered her nose, and kicked the ice python in the head:
"The smell is so strong...have you eaten people?"
The ice python shook its head wildly: "Hiss!"
I'm kidding, I've never eaten a human being in my life. I grew up eating Tianhua exotic treasures every day to become so strong! Otherwise, how could I have the ability to turn into a dragon at the seventh level? You look down on snakes! !
"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare. Otherwise, I'll chop you up and make you drink."
Qu Qianling curled her lips, but the knot on her eyebrows did not melt away.
There were so many people who died here, so many that it reminded her of some not-so-good memories.
Especially, the person causing this situation is still a disciple of "Yue Yao Peak"...
boom--!
Before the ice python could take her any further, a wall on the side collapsed, causing a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Cough, cough, cough - eh? Why are you down here! Didn't I ask you to stay up there and cause trouble?"
Ling Yao, who came through the wall, saw the huge ice python head toward him at a glance. He lowered the sword he had just raised and reached out to pat the ice python's big head.
"It's almost eating up people's houses. Isn't it messy enough?"
When Ling Yao heard this voice, he immediately trembled. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back. After he saw clearly that it was Qu Qianling standing on the ice python, he rushed forward with tears in his eyes:
"Uncle! You're finally here!! I can't stand it anymore!!!"
Of course, he couldn't really hug the boss's leg, so he was blocked back by the boss's merciless sword energy:
"You're covered in blood, you've killed a lot of people here, right?"
Qu Qianling covered her nose, but soon frowned deeper:
"Third level of Prime Minister? Why are you so crazy? Don't you know that using elixirs to forcibly improve your cultivation level will harm your own future?!"
She didn't want to be charged with the crime of failing to rescue in time, causing her fellow disciples to forcibly raise their cultivation level to save their lives, and harming the Yueyao Peak disciples because of her own personal grudges!
"Ah? This...I just used one. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to silence the guy on the fourth level of the Prime Minister just now."
Ling Yao shook his finger and sighed,
"The remaining level of the small realm is temporarily improved through the skills obtained from the inheritance place, and will recede after a while. If you don't come here, uncle, I will burp here..."
Qu Qianling tightened the sword in her hand and looked at him coldly:
"Why do we need to silence them?"
"Because I couldn't hold it back, I used the sword technique and exposed my identity..."
Suddenly, Qu Qianling raised her hand, and a sword light struck Ling Yao's head!
However, Ling Yao stood there and just tilted his neck, letting the sword light rub his ear and fly over, cutting away a small piece of hair.
"ah!!"
An inhuman, shrill roar suddenly came from behind Ling Yao. Then there was the sound of the giant falling to the ground.
"Although I know you won't actually kill me, it would still be terrifying to do it like this."
Ling Yao said in a helpless tone, but didn't even turn his head.
"They all said that Shigure had the most similar temperament to Qiu Tianming back then, but it was a pity that he was damaged and had a different temperament. It is precisely because of this that Qiu Tianming chose you, a child with a completely different personality, as his closed disciple.
"But in my opinion, you are the most similar to him. Just for that little thing, you can..."
Qu Qianling retracted her sword and stared at Ling Yao indifferently, as if sighing or talking to herself. Ling Yao didn't really want to know about his master's love and hatred, and he didn't want to be implicated innocently, so he pretended that he didn't understand anything and scratched his head stupidly.
"Say it. If you can't explain it clearly, you won't be able to leave here alive today."
Ling Yao grinned:
"Uncle Master, take a look with your own eyes and understand what is behind me, and you will understand. I don't know what Master did back then... but in order to hide his identity... it was really just an excuse.
"Because I promise, if we really kill all the guys here, innocent people may be affected; but if we kill one every other person, we will definitely not be able to kill all the scum here.
"No one from Jianmen will be lenient when it comes to punishing rape and eradicating evil. Isn't it?"
…
"This way! Go this way!"
Ling Linhan used a dagger to pry open another lock and open the iron cage.
"Escape quickly! The dungeon has been attacked! Get out of here while you're in trouble!"
Ever since Ling Yao gave him a hint, asking him to avoid his shortcomings of lack of combat effectiveness, easy softness, and unwillingness to kill, and go to other areas to find Yunying and rescue these "sacrifice", he took that person with him from the arena. The rescued "people" ran to the "storage area".
Most of the combat power in the dungeon was attracted by the noise made by Ling Yao, so that the enemies encountered along the way were unable to hinder Ling Linhan at all.
In fact, he wanted to find Yunying first. Because after he and the child were forced to separate due to the agency, he fell into the arena and was forced to fight with those transformed and controlled monsters, without caring about Yunying's safety.
And with Yunying's strength, he might have been captured by the guards as an intruder, and his situation might be more dangerous than those locked in the dungeon.
But when he saw the "sacrifice" who were locked in a small iron prison and lingering, covered in bruises and skinny bones, and there were even children under three years old among them, Ling Linhan could not turn a blind eye to them.
He could only search all the way, open the cages all the way, and try to release these people.
but……
Even though the iron locks have been broken, few people dare to step out of the cage.
Some of them may not have the strength to climb out of the cage because of hunger or injuries, but more of them are because of fear.
When Ling Linhan shouted "You are free" and "Get out of here", they stood silently and looked at his running figure indifferently.
"There's no escape. No one can escape."
Finally someone answered him,
“Don’t mention us disabled patients, even you, if you dare to let us out, you will be imprisoned here sooner or later.
"They are too powerful. We have no ability to resist."
"Yes, don't waste your efforts. At least we are still alive now. If we escape, that may not be possible."
"But now it's already outside..."
"So what if someone breaks the dungeon? We are 'sacrifice' sent to the Temple of the God King. Even if we can get out of this dungeon, we will have nowhere to go after we leave. Even if we are not caught and return to the tribe, You will still be sent back the next year. It’s just a transfer from one dungeon to another..."
"Even if the tribe dares to accept us, the Temple of God King will not let us go. It will harm my family..."
"Even if the Temple of the God King lets us go, as long as we dare to escape, we will be traitors to Liuchuan, and we will have no place in Liuchuan..."
Seeing those people holding on to the iron gate tightly or hiding in corners for fear that the guards would think they were trying to escape, Ling Linhan was speechless for a moment.
Yes, even if he really releases these people, will they really be freed?
Even if the God King Temple does not pursue them, are they really free?
No.
They are "dead" from the moment they are sent to the dungeon.
As long as the Temple of the God King still stands in the Liuchuan forest area, the entire Liuchuan will always be shackled, and all the people in Liuchuan will not be free.
but……
"I have done what I should do and what I can do. Whether you want to leave or not is your own business."
He split an iron lock again,
"I can't save everyone. Only those who want to be saved have a chance to be free."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the next door.
Door after door is still ahead.
Even if not everyone is willing to leave, not everyone is willing to find freedom, there is always one person...
There is always someone waiting for him to come to the rescue.
boom--!
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion not far away. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but cast towards the source of the sound.
Ling Linhan's hand that was prying open the door shook.
That direction is... the experimental area where Ling Yao is located?
