Chapter 83: A Desperate Gambit, Jailbreak

  "What did you say?", Luo Tian's pipe dropped to the ground with a clang, apparently, Helian Nuo's so-called suggestion was somewhat beyond his expectation.

  "I'm saying, judging from the current situation, as long as we're still in this Blood Refining Hell, we can't avoid Ling Xiao's persecution no matter what. If that's the case, then why not take the initiative to find an opportunity to leave this Blood Refining Hell? As long as we get out of his controlled territory, everything will be easy to say. Otherwise, we'll always be in a passive situation!"

  Luotian slowly picked up the fallen pipe, brushed off the dust on it, and bowed his head in contemplation for a long time. However, the expression on his face became increasingly solemn, apparently, Helian Nuo's suggestion did not seem too feasible to him.

  "Although He Lian's words also make sense, everyone has seen that the defense of this Blood Refining Hell is really too strict. It's almost impossible for us to escape from here unless... unless we can find a relatively weak link in the defense..." San Xiao spoke up, and compared to others, he was more eager to escape Ling Xiang's clutches. After all, the grudges between Lan Yue and Yun Xing had been going on for hundreds of years, and Ling Xiang's calculations over the past few days were mostly aimed at him, San Xiao.

  "It's just that there is such an opportunity, but...", after hearing Shang Xiao's words, Luo Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, but then quickly dimmed again.

  Lei Xiao's impatient gaze fell upon Luo Tian, who was hesitating and stuttering. Seeing that He Lian Nu and Sang Xiao had nothing to say, he couldn't help but jump out and ask: "What is it? Luo, don't hesitate anymore! For us to escape from here unscathed is almost impossible now. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we absolutely can't let it slip away. No matter how difficult it gets, it's still better than waiting for death all day!"

  "What Lei Xiao said is right, we are not considering which route to take now, but as long as there is a road, we must go all out! Luo Lao Da, since you know that there is such an opportunity, why don't you tell us about it?" He Lian Nuo nodded in agreement with Lei Xiao's point of view.

  He glanced at Sang Xiao, who had the same expectant look on his face. Luo Tian couldn't help but smile wryly and tapped his pipe softly, saying: "Alas, I'm really getting old and thinking too much! I'm not as energetic as you young people, but never mind. This time, I'll put aside my old bones and join you in this crazy adventure! Everyone already knows that the rules of the beast fight are to keep fighting until one side is completely dead, and the survivors on the winning side will be taken to the stage to receive a symbolic award from the person in charge of the Blood Refining Tower. Because there are usually very few people left at the end of each group battle, and they're almost always seriously injured, this is when their guard will be at its weakest!"

  "Hmm, this is indeed a good opportunity, but with so many spectators in the stands, how can we ensure that we break through their encirclement? And even if we escape from the Blood Refining Tower, Ling Xiao will inevitably organize a large-scale search and capture operation. At that time, how are we going to leave Meteorite City?" San Xiao pondered for a moment before raising her own doubts.

  "We just need to create chaos in the stands and then escape, but the problem is that the ordinary spectators in the stands are not a threat yet. However, if we're targeted by a master like Ling Xiao, we'll be in trouble. In this plan, we must perfectly achieve the following points: First, we must win the beast fight and survive unscathed; Second, we need to conserve our energy as much as possible and avoid getting injured so that we can have enough strength for the next step; Third, we must find an opportunity to create maximum chaos and then escape in the confusion - this is the most critical step in the entire plan; Fourth, after escaping, we must quickly find a hiding place where we won't be discovered and wait for another chance to escape from Meteor City. Only if we implement all four of these steps with precision can we have a chance to escape Ling Xiao's clutches!" Helianuo's face grew increasingly somber, clearly he too had realized that while the timing Lo Tian spoke of had some feasibility, the difficulty of actually carrying it out was just too great!

  "It's done!!" Seeing the other three people lowering their heads and not speaking, Lei Shuo suddenly slapped the table, stood up and raised his voice to shout, "Since we can't think of a better way than this, then let's stop hesitating! What's the worst that could happen? We die. At least it's better than waiting for death in this dark and gloomy Blood Refining Hell!"

  "Not bad, although the plan is difficult to implement, as long as we consider it thoroughly, there may still be a chance of success. As Lei Shuo said, what's the worst that could happen? We'll just die!”, Xiang Xiao gritted her teeth and stood up to show her stance.

  He Lian looked at Luo Tian, saw the latter nod slightly, he stood up and stretched out his right hand, looked at the remaining three people in the room, and lowered his voice: "Since that's the case, we'll make a big move tomorrow. If we succeed, we'll get rid of this ghost place forever. If not, we'll die together!"

  The other three walked up and pressed their palms heavily on Helian's hand, from this moment on, the fate of the four was tied together!

  That night, the four of them stayed in the room perfecting their plan, and before they knew it, morning had arrived. Luo Tian rubbed his sore eyes and looked at the other three, who were still full of energy, and couldn't help but secretly lament that he was getting old.

  After a sumptuous breakfast, the crowd followed Luo Tian to the Blood Refining Tower for the third time. Although it was their third trip on this road, the expressions of the Blood Refining Hell's people were extremely tense. Evidently, the nine-death-one-life group battle had already made most people here fearful at the mere mention of it. After all, if the previous Boar Fight and Beast Fight could still be relied on luck to avoid going on stage, this group battle was something that no one could escape from!

  The three people who looked the most relaxed in the crowd were actually He Lianuo and his two companions, because all three of them had previously suffered quite serious injuries. The night before, He Lianuo had deliberately asked out Gong Sunjian, who knew everything, and under his guidance, the three of them ate a large amount of heavenly medicine. It's worth noting that those medicines were all brought out by He Lianuo from the deepest part of the You Yue Forest, and if put outside, they would be priceless treasures worth a city. The three of them ate many of these medicines in a disorderly manner, and although their injuries had not yet fully recovered, they could still cope with ordinary battles.

  Due to his gluttony, Lei Shuo swallowed more medicine than Helian Nuo and Sang Xiao combined. Under the overwhelming medicinal power, Lei Shuo had been bleeding from the nose all along. Although the situation has improved somewhat now, his square face was still flushed bright red, looking rather comical.

  Before long, the crowd arrived in front of the iron prison. Just as they were about to enter, Luo Tian suddenly turned around and walked towards the direction of Gui Lian Prison. The people from Gui Lian Prison had already arrived ahead of time and were resting inside the iron prison at this moment.

  After finding the boss of Gui Lianyu behind the iron bars, Luo Tian smiled and squatted down, looking into his eyes and said in a low voice: "Young man, you once said that we have been fighting for many years, but we have never had a personal encounter. Alright, as you wish, I will take the stage personally today. If you have the guts, come and settle with me!", After finishing speaking, Luo Tian stood up and walked into the iron cage of Xue Lianyu without looking back.

  After the soldier guarding the prison gate locked the large gate and turned to leave, He Lianuo leaned in close to Luo Tian's ear and curiously asked: "Luo Boss, who is that Ghost Refining Hell's boss? Why does it seem like... you two have some deep hatred?"

  "It's not just a deep-seated hatred, it's simply irreconcilable! ", Luo Tian slammed his fist against the wall, his face filled with intense hatred, "Because he is none other than the young master of my own Jin family!"

  "What? He... But why is he trapped in the Ghost Refining Hell?! ", Helian Nu was shocked to hear this, knowing that the Duanjin clan had always been a loyal vassal of the Helian clan. Since the decline of the Helian clan, they had been hiding for many years, but now, why would the young master of the Duanjin clan appear here?!

  Luo Tian lowered his head and explained in a low voice: "To be honest, I also have some responsibility for this matter. Originally, the clan sent me out of the mountain to investigate the clues of the other three clans, but the clan leader insisted on bringing his son with me, saying that he wanted him to experience the outside world. This was not unreasonable, but... but this young master is too mischievous by nature. On the way, he flirted with women and caused trouble, and when we arrived at Xinghai City, he even molested the daughter of the Blood Refining Tower's leader. The leader was furious and had him arrested, and under torture, this useless person implicated me as well. Afterwards, I was subdued by ***, and my cultivation was severely damaged. I and he were interrogated multiple times until there was nothing left to ask, and then we were sent separately to the Blood Refining Hell and the Ghost Refining Hell. Like you three, when I first arrived here, I also received special treatment. Every time I fought in the arena, I was always the first one on stage. Relying on my skills, I managed to survive until now, and even became the leader of my own faction, just like that young master. It's really a fateful encounter!"

  Seeing Helian Youzu's thoughtful appearance, Luo Tian gently patted his shoulder and whispered: "Although that kid is not good enough, he is still the junior entrusted to me by our clan leader. Moreover, he has some conscience and did not reveal the hiding place of the Duanjin tribe. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable! Young master, I know what you are thinking, your kindness I appreciate, but let me, this elder, personally take care of the unworthy son of the Duanjin tribe!"

  He Lian nodded slightly, indeed, he had the idea of helping Luo Tian get rid of Gui Lianyu's old man, but since Luo Tian had already spoken up, he couldn't intervene anymore.

  As they spoke, Lan Youzhu had slowly walked to the center of the arena. Perhaps because it was the final round today, her attire was also very formal. She raised her head and swept a glance over the audience in the stands, then said loudly: "Thank you, esteemed guests, for coming to the Blood Refining Tower. Before we begin the competition, please allow me to introduce an honored guest, who comes from the Zhang family, one of the four great merchant families of the Demon Moon." As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Youzhu slightly turned her body and deeply bowed in the direction of a certain part of the stands!

  He Lian raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Lan You's bowing, only to see a white-robed old man with a long beard standing tall on the high platform!
