The whip exploded and fell with a snap, tearing the skin and flesh, blood gushing out, and the excited voice suddenly screamed in pain, the sound was heartbreaking.
"Hmph! Isn't martial arts the most important thing about spirit and will? What about your will? You can't stand a little whip? You're a bunch of useless trash!"
The bald man cursed sarcastically.
There was laughter all around.
"That bastard, there's a sting on the whip!"
Zhao Hua hid behind a protruding rock, looked at it for a while, and suddenly cursed. It is impossible for the disciples of the sect to be so fragile, but having a whip with a backlash is another matter.
Every time the whip is drawn, not only the skin and flesh are torn, but also the muscles are torn off. This is no longer a whipping, but a person's muscles are slowly torn apart while alive.
This kind of pain is unbearable even for people with strong martial arts will.
"Not only that, he also controlled their acupuncture points, torturing them and draining their blood at the same time."
Yang Ji said calmly.
Following Yang Ji's gaze, Zhao Hua noticed the "gullies" on the bronze ground. Not a drop of blood was left. All the blood followed these ravines and gathered into a bronze tripod.
"These guys are collecting their blood essence."
Yang Ji thought about what the scar-faced evil masters and others said, and said.
"His!"
Zhao slipped and took a breath, and was reminded by Yang Ji that something suddenly sounded to him:
"...More than that, they tortured them deliberately to practice their martial arts."
"ah?"
Yang Ji finally turned around and looked at Zhao Hua in surprise.
"Oh. I heard that too."
Zhao Hua whispered:
"Evil warriors are different from us. They most need to use that kind of hostility, resentment, and fierceness. So sometimes, some powerful evil masters will torture living people and use their resentful, angry and hateful souls to practice. -
—I only remembered it after you reminded me."
Yang Ji was slightly shocked in his heart. He just saw the bald man spectacular torturing those people, and never thought that he did it deliberately. When they were weak, angry, and resentful, he would use it as another "practice material."
"It's really the anger of heaven and the hatred of people. These evil warriors are really unscrupulous and have no scruples."
Yang Ji stared hard at the bald man, determined in his heart that when the official action came, he would never be spared.
"Beasts! You are not human beings, you are beasts——"
In the stone room, a crazy voice suddenly shouted.
"Hey, so what? You use ferocious beasts to make elixirs, and we use you to make elixirs. Aren't they all the same?"
An evil warrior said with a sinister smile.
There was laughter all around again.
"Beasts! Beasts! You will definitely be punished——"
the voice shouted angrily.
"Snapped!"
A whip was struck hard, and the roar immediately turned into a miserable howl. The laughter around him suddenly became even louder.
Yang Ji couldn't bear it in his heart, but there were a large number of evil warriors gathered in the stone room, and it was impossible to save them at this time.
Zhao Hua didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.
The two of them went deep alone and had discussed it before entering. This trip was based on the premise of not alerting the evil warriors as much as possible.
We will wait until we have a clear understanding of the terrain and distribution of people here before taking action.
"Wait a little longer. Wait until we are ready. Then we can rescue them together."
Zhao Hua said softly.
Yang Ji silently knew that what Zhao Hua said was right.
In the distance, the torture of the bald man was gradually coming to an end. After pumping for so long, he seemed a little tired and cursed:
"You losers, let me live for a few more days."
Turning around, he said to the evil warriors behind him:
"That's almost enough for today. Let's come back tomorrow."
"Hey, senior brother, don't come! There's one left for you! Let's go together after we finish cleaning up!"
An evil warrior suddenly laughed.
"roll!"
The bald man yelled angrily:
"Do you think I don't want to touch her? That little girl was brought back by Your Majesty the Right Envoy. Without His Majesty's order, who would dare to touch her?"
"Buzz!"
Yang Ji's heart was shocked, and he suddenly stretched his ears and listened carefully.
"Hey, why do you dare to move? You, the right envoy, brought her back to use her as a divine offering? Don't you have to kill her in the end?"
An evil warrior said with disdain.
"Hey, you're awesome then. Go ahead!"
The bald man rolled his eyes and handed over the bloody whip in his hand.
It seemed that the man had escaped, and there was laughter all around.
"By the way, senior brother, that little girl keeps calling the envoy's name? She's clamoring to see him. And the envoy doesn't let us use force on her. Do you think she really has anything to do with the envoy?
?”
A voice said cautiously.
"Hey, relationship? What relationship can it have? Even our envoy Liang's name is wrong. Let me ask you, is your envoy's name Yuan Jian? - Hey, I have seen a lot of women, but I have never seen such a stupid one! This
Another woman who was deceived by her appearance."
The bald man laughed and said.
"boom!"
Like a bolt of thunder exploding in his mind, Yang Ji was shaken all over:
"It's her! Su Hong is still alive!"
In an instant, Yang Ji's heart was full of turmoil. Unfortunately, his guess was correct. "Yuan Jian" was actually the "Liang Youshi"!
Fortunately among the misfortunes, judging from the conversations of these people, "Su Hong" is obviously still alive and here.
"No matter what, Su Hong is still alive, Junior Sister Lin can rest assured for the time being."
Zhao Hua's voice came from my ears.
He also knew about "Yuanjian", so he knew as soon as he heard that the "little girl" mentioned by these evil warriors was actually "Su Hong".
There's just one thing that Zhao Hua doesn't understand. People in the evil sect are always cruel and ruthless, and they are never hypocritical towards the disciples of the sect.
But judging from what these people said, Su Hong obviously received relatively preferential treatment. Could it be said that Yuan Jian, or "Liang Youshi", really couldn't bear it and cherished her?
Zhao Hua shook his head in his heart. He always found this excuse unconvincing. If the evil sect is really so "merciful and soft-hearted", it would not be an evil sect.
"...When the operation here is over, let's go back to find Junior Sister Lin. It's almost time to take action."
Zhao Hua said.
Yang Ji hesitated for a moment and nodded.
In the distance, after staying for a while, the people in the stone house soon left one after another, seemingly going down to rest.
"Walk!"
The two of them found that no one was around and immediately walked towards the stone house.
"This is trouble."
Halfway through, Yang Ji suddenly stopped. When he was in the distance, something was blocking him, and the distance made it difficult to see clearly.
But when he got closer, Yang Ji discovered that there were wooden "crosses" erected in the stone house, and on these crosses were tied one by one the scarred sect disciples.
Yang Ji had a preconception in his mind. He thought that this place was close to the Iron Crown Sect and that all the disciples of the Iron Crown Sect were detained. But in fact, this was not the case at all.
In addition to the disciples of the Iron Crown Sect, there were also disciples of other sects tied to the cross. Yang Ji just took a look and identified the disciples of the Beishan Sect, Jiugong Sect, Iron Sword Sect, Tongyi Sect and other sects.
Obviously, this evil force robbed not only the disciples of the Iron Crown Sect, but also the disciples of other sects.
"They even kidnapped disciples from other sects! And there were quite a few of them."
Yang Ji frowned.
"What should we do? As soon as they find us, they will cry out for help. When the time comes, they will definitely alert those evil disciples."
Zhao Hua also discovered this situation and said with a worried look.
The scope of activity of these evil disciples is much wider than imagined, and their targets are not just the Iron Crown Sect. They have been tortured here. When people are in adversity, once they find something to save their lives, they will hold on to it at all costs.
The problem is that once this happens, not only will the two of them be unable to save anyone, but their whereabouts will also be exposed and they will die here.
But it is impossible to avoid the stone house. Unless the two of them beat back the drum and return to the ground now. Otherwise, they must pass through it.
"Let me think."
Yang Ji rubbed his eyebrows. It would not work to retreat like this. Nothing has been explored clearly. It would be equivalent to a wasted trip and a wasted risk.
The two of them were originally here to save people, but in this situation, it has become a burden to them.
"You come with me. I know what to do."
Yang Ji pondered for a moment and suddenly whispered a few words into Zhao Hua's ear.
Time was running out, and those evil warriors who left did not know when they would come back. Yang Ji knew that he had to act quickly.
"clatter!"
Yang Ji raised his chest and belly, and walked towards the stone house without concealing his presence. Behind him, Zhao Hua followed closely.
The stone house was filled with a strong smell of blood and fishy stench. However, when Yang Ji and Zhao Hua stepped in and appeared in front of everyone, as expected, the entire stone house became a little quiet, and you could almost hear a pin drop.
On the wooden cross, a sect disciple whose name was tied to it was tortured and haggard. His eyes widened and he looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief.
"Disciples of the Iron Crown Sect!"
Yang Ji knew that they recognized him. Before they could call for help, Yang Ji spoke:
"What a bunch of losers! They don't even know that our evil disciples have lurked into the sect. They think we are saving them!"
When Yang Ji spoke, there was disdain and contempt on his face.
"Buzz!"
After a short period of silence, the wide-open mouths turned from extremely excited to yelling:
"Wang Badan!"
"You must die a good death!"
"One day, you evil disciples will also suffer the torture we suffered!"
"When I escape, I will strip you naked!"
…
The crowd was furious and everyone was shouting curses.
Zhao Hua watched from behind, secretly admiring him. The difficulty he originally thought was solved silently by Yang Ji with just one word.
Even if other evil disciples heard this, they would probably think that they were venting their anger.
——They are obviously used to this situation.
"Be patient for a while, tonight at the latest, we will come to rescue you soon."
Yang Ji approached several Iron Crown Sect disciples, lowered his voice, and spoke quickly. Yang Ji knew very well that his words could deceive others. But they could not deceive the Iron Crown Sect disciples who were familiar with him.
Sure enough, after hearing Yang Ji's words, the Iron Crown Sect disciples felt much relieved as if they had been given a forceful injection.
Yang Ji and Zhao Hua walked through the stone house without any danger and walked toward the back.
The underground cave seemed to be winding its way toward the ground. Yang Ji saw several stone houses like this, and all of them were near misses.
"It definitely took more than three months to build this place."
Yang Jidao, while taking steps, memorized the terrain here.
"Well, they must have started taking action a long time ago. In the small town at the foot of the mountain, there used to be some disciples from other sects coming to purchase things. But now there are fewer and fewer, and no one pays attention. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that
By then they had already started stuff.”
"The Iron Crown Sect is not far from Langya City. It is the closest compared to other sects. That must also be their target. After plundering, bring them all here."
Zhao Hua said.
The screams in his ears were quite sad and unbearable. The two of them quickened their pace. In the deepest part of the passage, Yang Ji finally found "Su Hong".
In a room separated by a stone fence, Su's tattered clothes were hung off the ground on a reddish-brown stone wall, and his hands and feet were tied. His hair was also scattered and hung down, covering his face.
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Yang Ji recognized the familiar figure at a glance. It was "Su Hong".
"found it."
Yang Ji hid in the shadow of a protruding rock, stretched out his head, and felt slightly relieved.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Su Hong looked a lot more haggard and lost weight. Yang Ji felt a little guilty when he looked at her. Su Hong was one of the first friends he met.
I have been busy with various things recently, and I have somewhat neglected her. If I pay more attention to her, go to the town more, and get in touch with that "Yuan Jian", maybe I can find out his identity.
However, some things have happened and cannot be changed.
"Yang Ji, those guards won't leave. It's hard for us to save her."
Zhao Hua's worried voice came from his ears.
Yang Ji didn't speak, and frowned as he looked ahead.
"Two Little Zhoutians, four Blood Furnaces..., I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to succeed with such a lineup."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
There were six evil masters in the torture chamber behind the stone fence, as if they were guarding some very important "big shot".
If these people don't leave, it will be difficult for Yang Ji and Zhao Hua to rescue Su Hong.
Moreover, the ground is made of hard, dense rocks, and the "Earth Boat" cannot be used here. Just by him and Zhao Hua, they may not be able to defeat him by force. And there is a high chance that it will alarm other people here.
The evil master.
Most people are not afraid. If that "Liang Youshi" comes out, I'm afraid both of them will die here.
"Wait a little longer. Maybe they will leave at some time."
Yang Ji lowered his voice and said.
"But don't forget. In the stone rooms behind us, those evil masters will come back at any time."
Zhao Hua reminded:
"If we want to go back, we have to pass by that stone house. If they come back, we won't be able to go back. And there is a risk of being discovered at any time."
What Zhao Hua reminded was of real threats. This was not a blessed place, but a dangerous evil lair, and there was a risk of being discovered every minute.
At that time, I really wanted to leave, but I couldn't.
Yang Ji remained silent, his eyes flashing with light. He didn't know what Zhao Hua was talking about. It's just that "Su Hong" was motionless in the execution room, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Both of them have already touched here, how could they just go back like this?
"Wait a moment. If there is really no chance, we will find a way to leave."
Yang Jidao.
Zhao Hua sighed in his heart. It was not advisable to stay in a place like this for a long time. He actually disapproved of Yang Ji's approach.
However, Yang Ji had already made his attitude clear, so it was hard for him to object.
It was quiet in the underground passage. Su Hong hung motionless on the wall, as if she had passed out. Opposite her, six evil masters were drinking wine.
Fortunately, the six people's attention seems to be on Su Hong inside. And there is still no movement in the stone room behind, as if those evil masters have not returned yet. (To be continued...)
