CHAPTER 687: Observations in the Prison, Underground Level Three
Moreover, the purpose of their journey was not to kill the immortal prison guards, but to rescue twenty-one golden core cultivators of the Purple Scarf Army.
The freezing effect of the "Ice Soul Cold Breath Formation" was uncertain how much longer it would last, and the "Black Water Cave Phantom Formation" could recover at any moment. The team could not afford to waste time.
"Daoist Gu Cheng is right."
"Rescuing the fellow members of the Purple Scarf Army is of utmost importance."
Holding the Brown-yellow Small Cauldron, Guo Poyun’s expression was grave, sharing the same sentiment.
"Apologies, Daoist Gu Cheng, I was reckless."
Seeing that no one supported him, the team member who attempted to pursue, faced with an unyielding gaze, clasped his hands and admitted his mistake, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.
Having demonstrated strength far beyond his teammates, Liu Yu had already established his authority after just one duel of magic.
The cries of the weak went unheard.
A strong person’s quiet words could resonate deeply within.
There was no need for pompous rhetoric or sophisticated social skills; possessing the most powerful strength naturally made one the center of attention.
This world always revolved around the strong.
Such was the world of cultivating immortality.
"Nothing to worry about."
Liu Yu waved his hand casually, his gaze sweeping over the secret room, glancing at the passages leading who-knows-where.
Every moment spent in the Black Mountain Immortal Prison was critical; he had no time for niceties.
The usual rules were ineffective in life-and-death missions.
"With runes restricting spiritual consciousness, it’s unclear where these secret passages lead."
"Venturing in recklessly could easily lead to losing one’s way and wasting a lot of time."
"Thus, it's better to stick to the original path; at least the passage ahead looks like a prison."
After a moment of silence, a thousand thoughts collided in Liu Yu’s mind, ultimately leading him to abandon the secret passage and continue along the corridor.
"Let’s go."
He said lightly.
After speaking, he shifted his magical power and rose into the air, returning to the original passage.
Seeing this, Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi, and the others immediately followed suit, maintaining their formation of "three-four-three."
……
On the dark Thunder Net, black lightning slowly roamed.
What was once a violent thunderstorm was now appearing more stable, restrained by the formation.
The Thunder Net, measuring over ten zhang, blocked Liu Yu and the others' path.
"Crackle!"
Thunder roared, and suddenly, streaks of golden-red spiritual light seeped through the gaps of the black Thunder Net.
As the golden-red spiritual light increased, an intense and sharp aura grew even more pronounced.
"Boom!!!"
Ultimately, with a deafening roar, the black Thunder Net was torn apart.
The black lightning was forcefully annihilated by the golden-red spear light.
In the instant the Thunder Net shattered, the barrier restricting everyone’s spiritual consciousness was also destroyed.
Everyone’s spiritual consciousness instantly spread out, clearly observing the scene beyond the passage.
What came into view were identical cells, all uniform in size and appearance.
The massive underground space was divided into numerous cells, each one small and feeling cramped.
All the cells were forged from first-grade spiritual materials.
Even though immortal cultivators' physical bodies had undergone spiritual energy purification, without magical power or magical artifacts, breaking free from the cells would be nearly impossible.
The strength of the cells was only at the first-grade level; although not high, it was more than sufficient for the qi refinement stage cultivators imprisoned on this floor.
There was no need for a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
The state of the cultivators within the cells showed a stark polarization.
Some were battered and bruised, tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, with dull, lifeless eyes that revealed no hint of brightness.
