0913. Incredible

As expected, they were all disciples of the deceased Xuantian Yun Palace.

A huge fog arose in Li Mu's heart.

His previous guess was probably true.

But the question is, what kind of force can quietly replace a behemoth like Xuantianyungong, but the outside world has not noticed it at all, and it has not been leaked for hundreds of years. This is too scary.

At least Li Mu himself would never be able to do it.

This is no longer something that can be achieved simply by relying on personal strength.

After some inspection, it can be determined that on the first floor of this huge mountain space, there are a total of one hundred steel-doored cells, where all the disciples of Xuantianyun Palace are imprisoned. Their status and strength during life are different, and they all have different abilities. He was already dead, leaving only the skeleton and some relics that could barely identify his identity.

In other words, at least 600 disciples of Xuantian Yun Palace with profound cultivation died in the cells on the first floor. And judging from the corpses, they should have starved to death and had no trace of anything on their bodies. scars.

Li Mu rubbed his temples.

He came to see Shen Xiaoyue, not for adventure, nor to dig up some old martial arts secrets, so although the changes in Xuantian Cloud Palace shocked him, he didn't have much desire to find out.

However, we still have to keep looking here.

Since Xuantianyun Palace has been killed by Li Daitao, the person who captured Shen Xiaoyue must not be from Xuantianyun Palace.

But Palace Master Lianhua may not be lying.

Because the outside world doesn’t know anything about what happened in Xuantian Yun Palace, and neither does Lianhua Palace. So in their channels, what the forces that replaced Xuantian Yun Palace did is regarded as Xuantian Yun Palace. Do what you do.

In other words, there is a high probability that Shen Xiaoyue was indeed caught in Xuantianyun Palace.

But where exactly?

"Master, come and see, there seems to be a living creature here."

Shen Jia, who had climbed to the second floor of the mountain, suddenly shouted.

Li Mu moved and was at Shen Jia's side in an instant.

"There is movement in here." Shen Jia pointed to the steel door numbered C78, ​​looking a little horrified.

Li Mu tried it with the token key in his hand, but couldn't open the special steel lock on the door. He simply threw away the key, grabbed the steel lock with both hands, and rubbed it hard, turning the lock made of fine steel into steel scraps. Fall.

Giving Shen Jia a careful look, Li Mu slowly opened the steel door.

A very strange smell rushed towards his face, and the red smoke turned into the devil's face, coming from behind the door. Li Mu opened his mouth and blew, a burst of Dantian mysterious energy directly blew away the strange red smoke, and the illusion disappeared.

There is a passage about two meters deep behind the door.

The two of them went in and walked to the end, where they found a stone room covering an area of ​​about thirty square meters.

Half of the area of ​​the stone chamber was a blood pool, with a pool of strange red liquid rolling in it. The red smoke from before seemed to be derived from this blood pool.

On the stone wall of the roof above the blood pool, there is a pulley fixed, and two iron ropes are hung, hanging down until they enter the blood pool, and the other end is fixed on a winch beside the blood pool.

Shen Jia went over and turned the winch.

The rusty iron ropes made a strange creaking sound.

Crash.

In the blood pool, the iron rope was raised.

The blood and water parted, and something was pulled from beneath the surface.

It was a large ceramic-like jar, one meter high and half a meter wide, tied with iron ropes, and covered with an iron lid. The so-called movements of living people that Shen Jia heard before came from this jar. come out.

Li Mu was really curious to the extreme.

Everything I saw in Xuantianyun Palace today was getting weirder and weirder and more incredible.

He could feel that there was indeed movement in the jar.

Not only was there movement, there was also a very faint trace of vitality.

Li Mu raised his hand and slashed out with sword energy, cutting off the iron rope. A burst of mysterious energy flew in the air, took the big jar over, and landed on the floor of the stone room, making a clanging sound of gold and iron, and splashing up clusters of sparks. It turned out that This jar, which looks like ceramic, is clearly made of some kind of special metal and is extremely hard.

And if you look closely, you will find that the surface of the jar is full of tiny holes, with bright red liquid flowing out of the small air. It must have flowed in when it was soaked in the blood pool.

Shen Jia walked over and opened the cover.

He suddenly screamed as if he had seen something terrible, and his face changed.

Li Mu's expression also changed.

Because what is contained in this jar is actually a person.

No, to be precise, it’s a human pig.

Human pigs whose arms and legs were chopped off and planted in jars like vegetables.

A shuddering and terrifying feeling instantly spread throughout Li Mu's body.

He traveled across the galaxy in his previous life and saw many miserable scenes, but compared with the bloody and terrifying scene in front of him, it was still far inferior. The human pig in front of him had been soaked in the blood pool for who knows how long. His face was already blurry and indistinguishable, and there was still a little bit of vitality left. He was motionless, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

"This man must have been a great master in his life, with extremely strong strength, no less than the ninth level, that's why he has not died in this state, but if he still has thoughts, he will definitely wish that he was an ordinary person. Only by dying immediately can you be freed from this perverted and horrific torture."

Li Mu sighed in his heart.

Such torture is really terrible.

I just don’t know if the arrangement in this cell is purely to torture this person, or does it have some other purpose?

Li Mu tried to communicate with this man, but failed.

This person's spirit has completely collapsed, his consciousness has collapsed, and he no longer has the wisdom of ordinary animals.

There is only a collar around the neck. I don't know what material it is made of. It has no trace of rust or decay and has a slight silvery brilliance. In the middle is a safety buckle with the word 'Qingping' engraved on it. Maybe it is. his name?

Nothing else was found in the stone cell.

Li Mu thought for a while, then raised his hand and used his sword energy to help the man free himself.

But something even more incredible has just unfolded in front of Li Mu and Shen Jia.

When they walked out of the cell and checked all the other seventy-nine steel-doored cells on the B-level, they were shocked to find that each cell had a similar layout, except that in some cells, the blood pool had already Dried up, the contents in the big jar were either skeletons or rotting corpses, but in most of the cells, pools of blood were boiling. The human pig was still breathing, but like the human pig named 'Qingping', its spiritual world had completely collapsed. , like a newborn baby, unable to communicate at all, so Li Mu took action and helped them free one by one.

What shocked Li Mu the most was that there were more than 80 people in the 80 cells in Bingzi Zeng. They were all martial arts masters who were no lower than the ninth level during their lifetimes. They all met such a miserable end. Who were they? Can so many martial arts masters be produced at the same time?

Even Xuantian Yun Palace, in its heyday, would not have had so many Nine Realm powerhouses, nor could it have produced so many Nine Realm powerhouses at the same time... The power behind this is terrifying to think about.

Li Mu felt his scalp numb.

"This is definitely not torture, but a specially built cell to achieve a certain purpose. So what are so many human pigs and the liquid in the pool used for?"

There was anger in Li Mu's heart that was building up, boiling and burning.

No matter what the purpose is, no matter what the purpose is, it is unacceptable to use such terrible, cruel and perverted methods to persecute so many martial arts masters, even if these people are heinous evildoers.

"Master...is this hell?"

Shen Jia's voice was trembling.

Although he is deep and calm, and possesses rationality and intelligence that others of his age do not have, he is only a twelve-year-old boy after all. He has never seen such a scene before, and his body is trembling.

Li Mu said: "Don't think wildly, recite the [Tiandao Town] mental formula silently, concentrate your energy, and channel your profound energy."

Shen Jia did as he was told, and his complexion gradually improved.

But everything he saw today will undoubtedly leave a deep impression on his mind. In the future, he will easily become a martial arts demon, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

The two of them followed the stairs and arrived at the cell on the B floor.

Different from the Bing sub-level, this level only has eleven cells.

Li Mu followed suit and opened the first room on this floor. Its interior area was much larger than that of the cell on the Bing sub-floor, five or six times the area. The blood pool in it was also larger. There were three pulleys on the roof of the room. , a total of six iron ropes, hung down and submerged into the blood pool.

Shen Jia fearfully turned the winch beside the pool.

Six iron ropes rose simultaneously.

This time, it wasn't a big jar that was pulled out of the pool of blood.

Instead, it was a huge iron-barred cage with three meters in length, width and height.

Blood poured down.

You can see a person hanging in the middle of the cage. His feet do not touch the ground and his hands do not touch the top. His whole figure is stretched by iron ropes and fixed in the middle of the iron fence cage. His shoulder blades, pipa bones, hand bones, Iron hooks penetrated the flesh and blood of the foot bones, thigh bones, calf bones and even the skull, straightening the limbs and hanging them in the air.

This person is extremely tall, much taller than the average person, and has a huge frame. He is still alive, and his life aura is not weak. He is equivalent to a warrior in the fifth realm.

Li Mu was moved in his heart and tried to communicate with him.

But soon, he discovered that this man's eyes were pierced, his tongue was cut out, his ears were pierced and deafened, and all his five senses and six senses were disabled, making him a complete cripple. More importantly, his The spiritual world has also been completely chaotic. Compared with the people in the cell on the C floor, it is only slightly better, but it is no different from a madman.

"This man was a strong man in the tenth realm during his lifetime."

Li Mu looked at his body and energy and came to this conclusion.

The eighty ninth-level experts in the C layer were shocking enough. However, the tenth-level experts who were tortured like specimens appeared in the B layer. It was simply shocking.

There are eleven cells on this floor.

If Li Mu guessed correctly, the people imprisoned and tortured in the other ten rooms are probably the strong men of the tenth realm... In the entire Northern Wilderness Region, for a hundred years, the whereabouts of the strong men of the tenth realm have been recorded. How many are there in total?

Only then did Li Mu truly realize that he might be involved in a shocking and unprecedented situation.
