Chapter 688: One Man Holding the Pass!
Perhaps due to time constraints, the immortal prison guards did not act as expected, worried that after dealing with the prisoners, they would be blocked by the arriving crowd.
The techniques of golden core cultivators are far more varied than those of low-level cultivators in qi refinement and foundation establishment, which is why Black Mountain Immortal Prison clearly places much more emphasis on them.
In addition to the prison cells, as the first layer of restrictions, the entire underground third floor is constructed entirely of spiritual materials, reinforced with various runes, forming a second layer of restrictions, making it a veritable fortress.
In such circumstances, it is impossible for there to be secret passages around, and the entrance they came from is the only exit.
This is what provided the crowd with a chance for rescue. Otherwise, after dealing with the prisoners, the immortal prison guards could easily escape through the secret passage without facing the intruders.
"Rescue them."
Standing with his spear, Liu Yu's expression was calm as he issued the order nonchalantly.
While speaking, his gaze continuously swept around, assessing the layout of the underground third floor.
As his voice fell, Guo Poyun and the others immediately moved, summoning magical treasures to bombard the prison cells.
Not knowing the special spell technique to open the cells, nor being familiar with the workings of the formation, directly using magical treasures to brute-force dismantle them was the most straightforward and quickest method.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The booming sounds echoed throughout the entire underground third floor.
"Brothers of the Purple Scarf Army, we are here on the orders of Elder Clear Water to rescue you."
During the violent opening of the cells, Guo Poyun first used divine sense sound transmission to communicate the secret phrase to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi, and the others quickly explained their intentions.
Aside from the twenty-one members of the Purple Scarf Army, there were also over a dozen golden core prisoners on the third underground level, reacting differently to the situation.
Some individuals were invigorated, as if they saw hope of escape, actively trying to communicate with Liu Yu and the others, their attitudes quite humble.
They attempted to catch a ride on the coattails of others, eager to flee this place together.
Others had flickering eyes, seemingly lost in thought, remaining silent and observant of the prison break operation.
The Black Mountain Immortal Prison has been guarded for many years by a yuan ying true monarch; perhaps in their eyes, this prison break was destined to be in vain.
Some cultivators had no idea how long they had been imprisoned.
Perhaps it had been decades, perhaps hundreds of years, or perhaps even longer than that.
Even with hope within reach, they had already lost the courage to seize it.
However, regardless of their attitudes, Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi, and the others paid them no mind.
To avoid complications, Liu Yu had long instructed them not to engage with other cultivators.
The prison break was already dangerous; any extra complications would be tantamount to seeking death.
Displaying their strength along the way, the authority they established was unquestionable.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Guo Poyun activated the Brown-yellow Small Cauldron, shrinking it down to half a zhang in size, and smashed it hard against the red prison bars.
"Boom!!!"
The half-zhang-sized Brown-yellow Small Cauldron struck the red bars with tremendous force, creating a great commotion.
Its powerful might caused several teammates to glance over in awe.
However, this red prison cell, built to contain extremely dangerous golden core prisoners, withstood even the full force of a life-bound magical treasure wielded by a golden core pinnacle cultivator without shattering.
It merely bent significantly, still able to endure one or two more strikes.
With such strength sealed within, the golden core cultivators could only hope for a miracle to escape.
