Under Jiang Mo’s cover, the figures of the source of the plague, the evil spirit ancestor, Zhulong, and the Flying Immortal Master appeared one after another. Their aura was hidden extremely perfectly, leaving no trace and no shape, as if they were transparent.

Rather than saying it is transparent, it would be more accurate to say that, under the leadership of Jiang Mo and the activation of the Book of Time, the place where they are standing is not the dimension of the current time.

They exist in the past, separated from the present by an invisible and intangible barrier.

That special barrier wrapped around the bodies of each of them, allowing them to exist before the birth of the empire, when prisons had not yet appeared. This way, the numerous formations of the Heavenly Prisons of later generations would never be able to scan any traces of their arrival.

“Walk.”

Looking down at the huge upside-down underground city, Jiang Mo spoke softly, swooping down like a hunting eagle, instantly passing through the underground layer, falling hundreds of miles before reaching the entrance to the second floor.

“call out!”

“call out!”

The four people, including the source of the plague, followed closely. They all turned into afterimages and continued to fall.

“Buzz!”

“Buzz!”

“Buzz!”

The barrier of the Heavenly Prison was not triggered, and in a blink of an eye, everyone arrived at the seventeenth floor of the Heavenly Prison, which was the place where the demons from outer space were imprisoned according to legend.

What is the devil from outer space?

That is, for various unknown reasons, they come to the fairyland from the stars outside the sky, or from other universes and other worlds, and are swept down to the fairyland by the turbulence of time and space. These creatures pose a great threat to the fairyland and are collectively called demons from outside the sky.

The moment they descend, there is a special team of martial artists in the Daye Empire who are responsible for capturing them. Often, before they grow up, they are arrested and taken to the Heavenly Prison for torture and imprisonment.

Therefore, most of the demons from outer space in the seventeenth floor of the Heavenly Prison are relatively weak. If they are not of special status and pose a risk of endangering the fairyland world, they would not even be qualified to be imprisoned after the tenth floor.

It was precisely because of these weak prisoners that the Emperor Wu of the time decided to imprison the divine general Wu Qian, who had incurred public wrath, here to protect his life.

If it were any other prison level, after Wu sneaked in, he might be torn to pieces by other vicious inmates on the spot.

Soon, a familiar breath appeared. Jiang Mo seemed to sense something, stopped, turned his head and stared at the endless dark prison corridor, and his sight finally stopped on a certain prison cell.

“what happened?”

Root Epidemic frowned, wondering why Jiang Mo stopped. The eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Prison was ahead. Could it be that there was someone he knew on the seventeenth floor?

“I met a general of the Imperial Dynasty who I had dealt with before. Since I’m here, I might as well go and take a look.”

After Jiang Mo explained the reason, he led everyone to stroll among the intricate corridors.

Here, every ten thousand meters, there is a powerful martial arts jailer guarding. Looking around, most of the figures imprisoned in the cells have turned into piles of bones. Those who survived are covered with scars and tortured beyond recognition, and are filled with great resentment.

After a while, Jiang Mo arrived at the seventeenth floor of the Sky Prison, in the sequence number 23 cell in front of the entrance to the eighteenth floor.

In the dim prison cell, Wu Qian was nailed to the cross, his hands and feet were completely disabled, and a scarlet blood bead hung high above his head, continuously absorbing his blood and energy, always keeping his injuries at the most serious stage, neither preventing him from dying nor giving him any possibility of recovering his strength.

Of course, this was not arranged by the emperor, but a deal reached secretly between someone else and a prison guard.

At this time, a mysterious man in a black robe and a hideous mask stood in front of the dying Wu Qian and mocked him harshly:

“The emperor wants to protect you, but we can’t keep you.”

“If His Majesty really believed your slander and handed over the throne to an outsider, an evil spirit that walked out of the abyss, you deserve to die.”

“Let me take you there.”

After saying this, the assassin slowly raised his right hand, and his five fingers suddenly burst into a poisonous green light, swaying with true Qi that was dancing like flames, and he was about to strike through Wu Qian’s chest with one palm and end his life.

With a “whoosh!” sound, the poisonous light of the five fingers went out without any warning. This strange scene made the messenger shocked and angry. First he was angry, then he was shocked, and then he was afraid.
In the entire sky prison, there was a prison guard who had communicated with him in advance and would not let anyone interfere with his assassination. Wu Qian was half dead and it was impossible for him to resist. So the people who took action were undoubtedly the three legendary prison kings of heaven and earth.

The messenger couldn’t help but feel horrified when he thought of this. That was a martial saint in the flawless realm. Crushing him to death was no different from crushing an ant.

He suppressed his inner fear and analyzed the situation before him. He finally chose to pull out the nails on Wu Qian’s limbs, took away the bloodthirsty bead that plundered his blood, and retreated silently.

He even subconsciously quickened his pace to leave the cell, not wanting to stay here for even a moment.

“.?”

Wu Qian, who was barely breathing, looked at the scene in confusion.

He raised his head with difficulty, and his blurry vision was empty and dark at first, and then it flashed again, and five figures appeared that made him unbelievable.

“!!!”

Wu Qian, who was already mentally weak and extremely tired, was frightened by the sudden appearance of Jiang Mo and others and almost lost the ability to speak.

“You…why are you here?”

Even though he couldn’t speak, Wu Qian’s mental fluctuations still existed and were easily sensed by Jiang Mo. He smiled slowly and said:

“Passing by.”

“I happened to see you, so I came to see you. What’s wrong? You’ve fallen to this state.”

“Ugh”

Realizing that it was the other party who saved him, Wu Qian felt helpless and narrated everything that had happened before with a sigh.

“You want to recommend me as emperor? No wonder those old guys can’t tolerate you.”

“If I ascend the throne, where will those old ghosts live? Besides, I have no interest in being an emperor.”

“Your ideas are so naive, so naive that I don’t know whether I should call you stupid or brave.”

Jiang Mo sighed a few times and made it clear once again that there was no way he could become the Martial Emperor of Great Cause.

“So you came here for the eighteenth floor?” Wu Qian asked with his dying breath.

“Correct.”

“Do you want to leave? I can take you away.”

Jiang Mo waved his hand, and the cross that locked Wu Qian suddenly turned into dust and dissipated. He regained his freedom, and the injuries on his body slowly healed.

“.”

Wu Qian’s expression was complicated, and some kind of belief in his heart began to waver. After hesitating for a few breaths, he shook his head and said:

“You go”

“As for your thoughts, I will convey them to His Majesty.”

“Then let him clean his neck and wait.”

Jiang Mo smiled faintly, didn’t say anything more, turned around and left. Before leaving, he set up a restriction formation for the prison cell that would last for twelve hours.

Afterwards, Jiang Mo sped all the way, passing the remaining twenty or so prisons, and arrived at the eighteenth floor as if he was in an empty place.

Cold.

Bone-chilling cold.

The structure of the eighteenth floor is different from the previous seventeen floors. In the prison on the eighteenth floor, there are floating ice sculptures one after another. These ice sculptures are located very far apart from each other and are imprisoned by stretched mysterious chains, unable to move.

“This method is to suppress with chains transformed from the luck of the entire empire.” Root Plague narrowed his eyes and analyzed the truth.

There are only sixteen ice sculptures left on the eighteenth floor, six of which are human-shaped, and the rest are extremely large demon masters, including beasts and plants. Three of the ten masters have died, their souls have dissipated, and the remaining seven are still lingering on.

As for the human-shaped prisoners, two died and four were still alive.

In the center of this prison, there are three magnificent palaces. That is where the chains originate and extend. It is also the center of the entire prison and the place where the three prison kings sleep. “Action?”

The Root Plague asked with a twinkling eye, intending to kill the three kings first and corrupt them.

“Just lock it up.”

Jiang Mo spoke out to stop them. His eyes were filled with a special light, and he saw the mystery of this prison. There was a huge amount of imperial luck bestowed in the three blood coffins in the three palaces. Moreover, the ice sculptures that imprisoned the prisoners were engraved with countless patterns, which contained unknown killing moves. It was very likely that they would explode at the moment the three were injured and kill the prisoners.

“I come.”

Jiang Mo took the initiative to reveal his figure, formed seals with his hands, activated the true Qi in his body, and performed magic. Endless void magic arrays densely suppressed him, and also set up a forbidden area of ​​all laws evolved from the true law, restricting the spread of magic and supernatural powers inside to the outside world.

Finally, he lightly drew a line with his left index finger, and a non-existent time extended from the past to here, turning into a long river of time, surrounding the three palaces and completely locking up the sleepers inside, leaving them no chance to detonate the ice sculptures.

All this was done in just a few breaths, and the strange phenomena and unfamiliar aura in the prison soon attracted the attention of the 11 surviving inmates.

“!!!”

“!!”

All the prisoners in the eighteenth floor were shocked. There was actually a supreme Taoist coming to rob the prison? Who was he coming for?
“Fellow Daoist, can you rescue me and let me go? I am willing to offer you a valuable treasure in return.”

“Fellow Daoist, I am the king of this dynasty who failed in his bid for the throne. I was plotted against and persecuted by the state teacher and imprisoned here. I hope you can help me escape. I will remember your kindness in the future and will never forget it for a hundred or a thousand years.”

“Fellow.”

Chaotic and anxious voices rang out one after another. These prisoners, who had been imprisoned for who knows how many years, all went crazy when they saw Jiang Mo coming. The chance to escape was right in front of them. Who could remain calm?

Even the prisoner who was locked in the farthest place and whom Jiang Mo and his companions were looking for slowly raised his head and pleaded in a voice as hoarse as dry bark:

“I am the Third Great Elder of the Yuantian Formation Sect in the Immortal Realm Zhongzhou, Zhao Linyu.”

“I have been trapped here for many years. If you can save me and bring me back to the light of day, I will be very grateful.”

“Xianyu Zhongzhou?!”

There was a hint of curiosity in the eyes of the Root Plague. It had heard of that place, which was also a part of the Fairyland. It was in the extremely far west, so far that even an ordinary peerless Taoist might not be able to reach it in his lifetime if he wanted to cross it.

“You are the one we are looking for!”

After saying that, the Root of the Plague walked over quickly, came to the ice sculpture that sealed the old man, and said straight to the point:
“I can take you out, but you have to do something for us.”

“Fellow Daoist, please speak.”

“With your attainments, can you break the ancient clan formations left behind by powerful forces such as the Undying Ruins, the Human King Clan, the True Cultivation Pavilion, the Taichu Refining Sun Phoenix, and the Fighting Saint Ape?”

The Root of the Plague asked tentatively. There was a fleeting hint of doubt in its eyes, and it felt a little disappointed in its heart. The skinny and decadent old man in front of it seemed that he was only at the middle stage of the Supreme Dao Sovereign realm.

And those powerful humans and demons who locked it up back then were all at the peak of the Supreme Dao Sovereign or the ultimate creatures at the level of the Nine Palaces and Nine Stars Ruler. They were more than a hundred times stronger than Zhao Linyu.

“Fellow Daoist, look over here, I can help you.”

“Daoyou, here, here is a fairy treasure!”

Before Zhao Linyu could reply, the prisoners in other cells spoke anxiously, fearing that they would not have a chance to be rescued.

“Shut up.”

The Origin of the Plague shouted, glared at him cruelly, and threatened mercilessly:

“If you keep making noise, you won’t be allowed to leave.”

“Boom!”

A terrifying aura swept across the entire venue, causing the ice sculptures to tremble violently.

Suddenly, the whole place fell silent.

“In all the fairyland areas, my Yuantian Formation Sect is the best in formations. No one can stand shoulder to shoulder with me. Although I am not as talented as my senior brothers and junior brothers in the sect, I can still easily deal with the formations in the East Wilderness.”

Zhao Linyu gave a definite answer, it can be solved!
“Are you serious?” the source of the epidemic asked again.

“Yes. Formations are like mathematics. If you know how to do it, you know how to do it. If you don’t know how to do it, you don’t know how to do it.”

Zhao Linyu met the scrutinizing gaze of Root Epidemic and nodded.

He seemed to know the other party’s worries and smiled calmly:
“Even if the cultivation level of the person who sets up the formation is far higher than mine, it is still the same.”

“My friend, he is the person we are looking for. Can you rescue him?”

“it is good.”

Jiang Mo agreed decisively. He took a step forward and stretched out his left hand to touch the dark ice cubes.

“Zizzizi!!”

In an instant, the ice sculpture engraved with countless complex patterns seemed to fall into a giant lava furnace and melted quickly.

In just a blink of an eye, Zhao Linyu broke free from his restraints and regained his freedom.

He let out a long sigh, his clothes were covered with dried blood and his breath was weak. One could imagine how much hardship he had endured in the past years, but now his face was filled with joy.

“Thank you for the rescue.”

Zhao Linyu stood up straight and saluted solemnly. He bowed deeply towards the source of the epidemic, Jiang Mo and others, and spoke extremely respectfully.

First, the life-saving grace is indeed great, and second, among these five mysterious people, two are Supreme Taoist Lords.

Especially the white-haired man who took action, his aura was unfathomable, as if there was no limit, and his cultivation was definitely not just that of the late stage Supreme Dao Lord.

Therefore, Zhao Linyu felt both admiration and fear.

The supreme peak?

Just thinking of this answer made him feel overwhelmed and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.

“Senior, you’re welcome. Please follow us.”

Jiang Mo responded with a polite smile, and cast a spell with both hands. A void magic circle appeared out of thin air, and the destination of the teleportation was the outer edge of the Evil Soul Sea.

“Okay.” Zhao Linyu stepped forward without hesitation.

Just as everyone was about to leave, the prisoners around them became anxious, and various pleas came one after another.

“Fellow Daoist, save us!”

“I will serve you as my king! I will follow you everywhere!”

“Daoyou, if you save me in this life, I will repay you in eternity!”

Feixian Yuzhu frowned slightly. Unlike the prisoners on the first seventeen floors, after he obtained the memories of Feixian’s faith body, he learned that the prisoners locked on the eighteenth floor were generally losers in the struggle for interests with the imperial dynasty. They could not be said to be innocent, nor could they be said to be extremely vicious.

For a moment, he was unable to plead for mercy and just waited for Jiang Mo to make the decision.

“Repay a favor? No need.”

Jiang Mo waved his left hand, and the colorless black hole suddenly spread to all the ice sculptures, disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“I want to do something. I want to destroy the Imperial Dynasty, the Sword Sect, the Sunset King’s Court, and the Eight Great Legacy Sects. If you are interested, come with me, or find another place.”

Jiang Mo opened another void magic circle, and without looking back, he walked towards the one leading to the Evil Soul Sea.

To him, these prisoners who were not even the Lords of the Nine Palaces or the Supreme Dao Lords were dispensable. (End of this chapter)
