Chapter 57: I'll let you get away with this!

  Two updates have been completed, and I'm ready to continue writing and storing some drafts.

  ————

  It was still the same hole in the ground, pitch black all over, with only a small part being illuminated by the torch.

  Occasionally, men in black would walk by, their faces also covered with a black mask, making it impossible to see what they looked like.

  They came and went, patrolling here. In addition to the cell where Fang Heng was detained, there were many other cells! They all detained some elderly people or young people. Those as young as Fang Heng were rare.

  Occasionally, you would hear someone wailing, but after a short while, the sound of punching and kicking could be heard again, and then everything calmed down.

  The cave was like a spider web, sprawling in all directions, bottomless and interconnected. In one of the caves, there was a wooden door, which led to a dazzling golden interior, decorated just like a palace. It was hard to imagine that such a place existed beneath the city of Zongshan!

  Only two people were seen inside discussing something together.

  "In just a few more days, Hei Zhu will arrive, and we two brothers can relax a lot."

  "Alas, brother, don't mention it. Detaining so many people makes my hair stand on end. If we're found by those sect people, the two of us brothers will be in big trouble." The two were also wearing black clothes and couldn't see their faces clearly.

  Even in their own homes, they hide their identities very well.

  "Look at you, with your little accomplishments, already a cultivator of the Nine Heavens, and yet so timid. What's there to fear from others? With so many people around us, as long as it's not a Divine Bridge Cultivator coming for us, what do we have to be afraid of?"

  "It makes sense when you say it, but I still can't shake off this feeling of unease, like something bad is going to happen."

  "Haha! You're overthinking things too much, stop daydreaming. Now that we've joined the Dark Lord, you and I will have a chance to conquer the Divine Bridge in the future."

  That person's eyes flickered with a hint of longing after hearing this, "The Divine Bridge! If one can reach this realm, they can defy the heavens and change their fate..."

  As long as they are cultivators, they must want to enter the Divine Bridge Realm. Like them, who think that being able to reach the Ninth Heaven of Nirvana in this life is already the limit, wanting to enter the Divine Bridge is like ascending to heaven!

  It's not just them, for the stunning talents, between Huā Lóng and Shén Qiáo, there is indeed a difficult-to-cross chasm! This step has frustrated many geniuses? All of whom ended in frustration after a hundred years. Only when you reach this step do you have more time to pursue an even higher realm!

  Jiang Xiaoyu and his group were now crouching outside a long-abandoned dilapidated house, their heads lowered as they discussed their next move.

  "It's right here. There is a hidden passage inside that leads to an underground cave. As for what's inside, I really don't know." Qing Shu spread his hands out in a helpless gesture.

  He can only investigate up to here, and it's very difficult to conduct a more in-depth investigation. Even now, just on the periphery, there are people keeping watch, so they have to be extremely cautious, afraid of startling the snake by cutting the grass!

  "With our current strength, we can actually fight them head-on, but if we can reduce casualties, then let's do so. How about this: we send one person to lure them away, and the rest of us sneak in while they're distracted?" Hao Yun suggested.

  "But who will be the bait?" Ye Ling furrowed his brow as he asked the senior sister of the Xuanming Sect.

  This person's physical condition must be top-notch, and this task is also extremely dangerous. It's not as simple as it seems on the surface, and one must always be prepared to make sacrifices at any time.

  "Of course it's Qing Shu who went." Hao Yun smiled lightly and placed his hand on Qing Shu's back.

  The originally smiling Qing Shu suddenly fell, his face turning pale as he said with a sob: "Senior brother, you really can push me into the fire pit!"

  "Stop pretending, don't I know your moves? With your skills, even a strong master from the Ninth Heaven of the Dragon Transformation couldn't catch up to you! Besides, there are many obstacles in this city, I believe in your abilities, you can easily escape!" Hao Yun ignored his opponent's pleas.

  Green Book had no choice but to accept this task.

  Jiang Xiaoyu remained silent on the side, waiting for the other party's arrangement. In fact, he was also uncertain in his heart right now. At present, his strongest divine ability had only burst out with 130,000 divine ability index, and he didn't know if he could contend with those powerful people in the Huolong Secret Realm.

  However, the 130,000 divine power index is already very low. In the initial realm, there is no divine power index at all. It wasn't until reaching the air sea that there was enough ability to display it, and only when reaching cloud soaring could a part of the divine power's might be displayed, and it wasn't until transforming into a dragon that one could truly display divine power.

  Thirteen million in the ranks of the Dragon Transformation Realm is considered upper-middle class. Even a genius like the Golden Winged Peng Bird only burst out with 10 million divine power index, right? Although he's said to be from the Cloud Ascension Nine Heavens, his combat strength is enough to rival some of the strong practitioners in the Dragon Transformation Realm!

  ......

  ......

  "Flowing Cloud Palm!"

  Qing Shu stood alone outside the broken house, and with a loud slap, he hit the wall! Boom! In an instant, the wall cracked and made a huge noise. Five men in black clothes hurriedly jumped out of the house, then saw Qing Shu.

  Ten murderous gazes swept over him, and Qing Shu's heart suddenly felt a chill. Then he plucked up the courage to provoke them, saying: "A bunch of bastards, come on, come at me! I'm asking for it, I owe you a beating!"

  As a result, the five people simply ignored him and prepared to turn back into the courtyard, without knowing where this crazy person came from.

  Qing Shu was greatly alarmed and couldn't let the few people return. Was his own provocation so poor? At this moment, Liuyun Zhang's hand struck again, and several streams of light flashed by, rushing towards the five people!

  The five of them slightly moved their bodies, directly facing each other with their palms, because they didn't expect the other party to take action directly. The five of them all took a step back, then coldly stared at Qing Shu.

  "Kill him."

  A voice came out from the courtyard, and then the five of them nodded and rushed towards Qing Shu.

  After entangling with five people for a short while, Qing Shu turned around and ran away. The five men saw the situation and chased after him without any hesitation!

  Hao Yun and the others watched as they walked far away, and couldn't help but furrow their brows to look towards the house. Judging from the situation, there should still be one more person inside. This person's strength is definitely not ordinary! To think that just now those five people were all existences at the fifth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm! Being able to easily command these people, then the person in the house might very well be a strong existence at the seventh or even eighth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm!

  "After entering, directly use the ultimate move and kill this beast!"

  Everyone nodded in agreement, they were numerous and strong, if they all worked together, even a powerful being from the Ninth Heaven would not be able to withstand them.

  After making a good decision, everyone rushed in, but unexpectedly found an empty yard with no one!

  They looked around but didn't find anyone there.

  Just as they were puzzled, a cold voice came from behind them, "What are you looking for?"

  The crowd was shocked and quickly turned around. They saw a man wearing black clothes, with an evil ghost mask on his head, standing on the wall and staring at them. The moonlight shone on his mask, highlighting a few ferocious feelings, extremely frightening.

  "Why must you assist the tyrant, Di Yuan is not a good thing, your reign will eventually be overthrown again!" Ye Ling coldly shouted.

  "Haha! You're quite interesting, you little brats. You actually know about the Earth Abyss? It seems you've come prepared. Well, I'll play along with you then. Let me show you the divine power of the Earth Abyss lineage." The evil spirit mask man sneered a few times before pointing and firing a shot.

  In an instant, everything in the yard changed. The sky turned dark and gloomy, vision blurred, and one by one, nearly transparent souls suddenly appeared. They were ferocious and hideous, each with a different ugly appearance, charging towards the eleven people, wanting to tear them apart and swallow them whole!

  Apart from Jiang Xiaoyu, everyone here is a battle-hardened veteran, but such an eerie and mysterious method of divine communication is rare, yet not enough to cause them to become disordered.

  Hao Yun's Flowing Cloud Palm struck out, and his Spiritual Ability Index instantly reached 900,000! The others' Spiritual Ability Indices were roughly the same. Although they were in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, none of them had reached the extreme limit of each realm. Even Initial Sensation had only opened around 40 to 50 acupoints.

  The malevolent spirits were instantly dispersed, only to reassemble once more! This mysterious and bizarre phenomenon was impossible to detect with spiritual energy sensors, while the masked man let out wave after wave of eerie laughter, as if these people could add a few points of entertainment for him.

  "Be a good puppet for your old man! I grant you eternal life..." The masked man's voice was full of temptation.

  The Great Master of Youming Prefecture shattered the vengeful spirit once again, and sneered: "Even gods don't dare to claim they are immortal, what qualifications do you have to say such a thing?"

  The gods are mighty and unparalleled, capable of creating heaven and earth, and can pluck the stars with their hands. Even if they are as powerful as them, they cannot attain immortality. Therefore, the Ghost Face's words are somewhat too arrogant.

  The ghost-faced man didn't find it strange and said: "Our underworld governs the life and death of all things, what are gods? Can they compare to our underworld?"

  Everyone's face changed, who dares to be so rude to the gods? Although the gods have disappeared, there is still a will that coexists with heaven in the unknown, and the will of the gods is the will of heaven. Isn't this person afraid of heavenly punishment?

  Everyone was busy dealing with the vengeful spirit and discussing with the ghost-faced man, but they didn't notice that one person had already disappeared. Jiang Xiaoyu was gone! Nor did anyone know when he started to disappear, because both sides were talking, no one noticed him.

  Suddenly, the ghost-faced man saw that on his shadow, there seemed to be an extra dot, and then this dot grew bigger and bigger, vaguely resembling a human figure...

  Then he saw a golden light emerging from behind his back! His heart tightened and he hastily turned around!

  Only one person was seen, falling from the moonlight, with a golden light wrapped in his hand, dazzling and covering up the moonlight!

  "Stop pretending in front of me!"

  The opponent's speed was too fast, and the Ghost-Faced Man didn't have any chance or time to dodge or block this punch!

  Boom!

  A fist heavily smashed onto his body, directly causing the wall to split in two, the Ghost-Faced Man's legs were spread apart, and then he was stuck in the middle of the wall!
