Chapter 537 The Other Side of the Suspension Bridge
Chapter 537 The Other Side of the Suspension Bridge
"team leader……"
Pei Yun heard the shouts of the surrounding demons, her expression changed slightly, and she regained consciousness. She forced a smile and said in disgust:
"...These people are filthy, I don't want to dirty my eyes! It's getting late, why don't we go back to our place and have a drink, and continue tomorrow..."
This cave is not big. The demons working here are all members of Kui Ye's team. After hearing the captain's words, these team members naturally felt relieved and followed Pei Yun to leave, leaving only two demon soldiers guarding it.
The building built along the mountainside is the residence of the demon soldiers. Pei Yun gathered these people in her room and took out several jars of wine from Kui Ye's storage magic tool. She had already put the Ecstasy Powder into these wines.
Until night, seeing that these demons were all "drunk" and collapsed on the ground and fell asleep, Pei Yun's smile faded, and he glanced at these people with an expressionless face, and quietly left the room...
The demon soldiers guarding outside the cave were completely unaware of her presence, and Pei Yun easily returned to the cave.
The cave is surrounded by cells, which hold hundreds of people. Of course, this is just one cave. Pei Yun has explored it with his spiritual sense and found that there are dozens of caves like this.
In the center of the cave was a pool of blood, with more than a dozen people suspended above the pool by iron chains. Blood from their wounds dripped into the pool below, and the smell of blood filled the air.
Above these people's heads sat a magic cauldron, which slowly rotated. The magic patterns on its surface occasionally flashed a red light, clearly absorbing the resentment emanating from these people...
The dozen or so people tied to the blood pool had fallen into coma and looked dying, while the monks in the cells who had not been tortured looked at Pei Yun with fear, numbness or hatred.
Pei Yun thought for a moment, then flew to Zhu Renfeng. She set up a space barrier to block other people's prying eyes, and then called out softly, "Zhu Renfeng."
Zhu Renfeng did not wake up, and his breathing was so weak that it was almost inaudible. Pei Yun called him a few more times before Zhu Renfeng slowly opened his eyelids. His tired and lifeless eyes gradually became clear, and he stared coldly at the person in front of him.
"I am Pei Yun." Pei Yun said as he pointed his two fingers in front of his forehead and used the Xisheng Jue to check his condition.
Zhu Renfeng, who was standing opposite him, was startled. A glimmer of light flashed in his originally desperate eyes. He widened his eyes slightly and looked at the demon-like person in front of him with half-belief and half-doubt. He asked in disbelief, "... Pei Yun? Are you really... Pei Yun?"
"Of course, we fought against each other in the foundation building competition back then. I hope you haven't forgotten it!"
Of course he hadn't forgotten! Every time Zhu Renfeng thought about his encounter with Bei Qizhou's renowned genius, he felt a surge of emotion and often reminisced about those days.
Zhu Renfeng completely believed the words of the man before him. Although he was weak and spoke weakly, there was still a hint of emotion in his words: "Friend Pei... I feel relieved when you are here..."
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, your bones and muscles are broken, your dantian is nearly shattered, your spirit is unstable, and demonic energy has invaded your body. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover for a while..."
Pei Yun took out a pill and fed it to Zhu Renfeng. "I'm currently hiding among the demons and can't take you out right away. Take this elixir first. It can temporarily protect your heart meridians..."
"...Fellow Daoist Pei, there's no need to worry about my safety. The worst that can happen is death. Be careful. Only if you get out safely can you bring back the news from the Demon Cave..."
"I will take everyone out!" Pei Yun nodded firmly.
Afterwards, she fed the pill to other people who had been tortured like Zhu Renfeng. Three of these people had died, and one had died right in front of Pei Yun.
Pei Yun silently took back the elixir in his hand and left the cave without saying a word...
She did not take the plank road, but quietly passed through layers of restrictions and reached the top of the mountain. In addition to the altar and magic array in the center of the mountain, there were three suspension bridges around it connected to this place.
One is where Pei Yun came before, where the demon princes and Ye Li lived. There are two others. One is connected to the mountain in the north, where the palace where the demon lord lives is located. Pei Yun naturally did not dare to barge in.
At this last point, Pei Yun looked towards the palace suspended in the air at the other end of the suspension bridge. His gaze darkened as he unleashed his unique sword technique, unleashing the power of space he had mastered to its fullest extent. He flew to the other end of the suspension bridge at a speed that was almost instantaneous...
There were many demon soldiers guarding the other side of the suspension bridge, with one on duty every few steps. Pei Yun used his mind-controlling technique, and when these demon soldiers were in a trance, Pei Yun flashed past them.
Pei Yun came to the door of the hall and subconsciously released his spiritual sense, but the next moment, he secretly cried out in disbelief!
A figure teleported from the hall to where Pei Yun had been standing before. Fortunately, Pei Yun had hidden in the space in time just a moment before.
Pei Yun patted his chest and looked relieved. She never expected that there was someone in this palace who was much more powerful than her. The aura emanating from this person was more profound than Ye Xuan's, and from his actions just now, it seemed that this person was more proficient in the understanding of the laws of space than her.
The most important point is that when this person teleported, he emitted spiritual energy! This shows that he is not a demon, but a Taoist cultivator!
spy!
This word immediately popped up in Pei Yun's mind, and she looked outward with a gloomy face -
The man was wearing a purple Taoist robe, his hair was gray, and he was wearing a mask on his face, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. Judging from his exposed hair and hands, he should be an old man.
"Your Excellency, what happened?" The Jing leader who had reported the matter to Ye Xuan walked up to the old man and saluted.
"Someone was just spying on what was happening in the hall!" The old man's voice was a little hoarse.
"What?!" Chief Jing was shocked and quickly mobilized his men to search everywhere, but found nothing.
"Strange, the spy suddenly disappeared and I couldn't detect it!" The old man searched inside and out with his spiritual sense, but found nothing unusual.
"Your Excellency, perhaps you are overthinking it." Chief Jing said.
The old man glanced at him, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and walked back to the hall on his own.
Pei Yun looked in the direction he left and saw many mirrors placed around the hall. In the center was a running magic circle, reflecting countless rays of light, some of which were directly projected onto the surrounding mirrors.
Figures appeared on the projected mirrors, and there were special magic soldiers communicating with them.
Pei Yun was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized that these mirrors and magic arrays were the communication tools between the demons and the outside world. The magic arrays in the outside world were closed one after another, so if they wanted to know the information from the outside world, they could only do so through people outside. Presumably, the spies from the ten major sects also used this method to pass on the sect’s situation to the demons!
I have to say, the person who can set up such an ingenious magic array must be a genius array master!
