Chapter 523: It’s time to close the net, I have been waiting for you for a long time
In the palace, the Great Mountain Lord’s eyes moved slightly, and with a wave of his sleeves, a layer of blue light shot out, covering the surrounding area, in order to prevent the powerful divine senses from sweeping over and spying on their discussions.
In addition to them, there were now powerhouses from the Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise clans in the palace, all of whom were the ones the Great Mountain Lord could trust.
For him, as long as he knew where Luo Feng and others were being held, everything else would be easy to handle.
At that time, after he rescued Luo Feng, he would directly tear apart this universe and leave. The universe was so vast, and even more endless. If he just found a place to live in seclusion, who would find him then?
As for the life and death of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, what did it have to do with him?
In the eyes of the Great Mountain Lord, the numerous ethnic clans from all over the realm were just p.a.w.ns he could use to delay time.
“If that’s the case, shall we act tonight? I’m worried that the time will be too long. If Gu Changge sensed that something is wrong, it would be bad to transfer your Master and sister away…”
Afterward, Xiao Yang and others looked solemn, especially Xiao Yang, whose eyes were full of expectations. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, wishing he could go to that dungeon now and rescue his Master and sister.
“From your investigation, it should be the place where the Second Mountain Master and the others are imprisoned. We still have time, and things will change if it’s too late. It seems that we have to act tonight.” The Great Mountain Lord nodded, with a rare smile on his face.
Then, everyone discussed the details of the next meeting, in order to be sure that there would be no mistakes and 100% certainty.
In a blink of an eye, twilight fell, and the entire Heavenly Lu City was shrouded in a layer of magnificent mist as strands of bright starlight descended from the sky.
“At that time, some people will be guarding the entrance. If there is any chance, immediately enter.” The Great Mountain Lord looked a little serious, and he glanced at the many powerhouses in front of him and ordered.
“I understand, please rest a.s.sured, Mountain Lord.”
Everyone’s expressions were also extremely solemn and serious when they heard his words, and they understood how important their action tonight was. There could not be any mistakes.
Immediately, the Great Mountain Lord waved his sleeves, and simple and mysterious runes emerged in the void, turning into misty brilliance, hiding everyone’s figures.
He seemed quite cautious, and while feeling the movements of the cultivators monitoring the place around him, he hid before leaving the palace complex, and headed for the street in the southwest direction.
Although it was night, the lights in Heavenly Lu City were also brightly lit, and there were figures walking around on the palaces and pavilions. On the boat, there was very little singing, and the fishing fire in the distance was like beans, which was very lively.
Gambling stone workshops, teahouses, shops, places of wine… cultivators could be seen almost everywhere.
Except for the patrolling soldiers pa.s.sing by through the sky from time to time, the entire Heavenly Lu City seemed quite peaceful, completely different from the awe-inspiring and heavy atmosphere of facing wars in the past.
Xiao Yang, Gu Wudi, and others carefully concealed their aura and followed behind the Great Mountain Lord.
Although the Great Mountain Lord took action to protect them, it was impossible not to be nervous at such a critical juncture. However, the Great Mountain Lord had profound divine powers and superb means, and it was even more difficult to find flaws in hiding his divine powers.
They left the palace and walked hundreds of miles on the streets, but no one found them. This somewhat rea.s.sured them a lot and gave them greater a.s.surance in their hearts.
“Pa.s.sing through the gambling stone workshop in front, in a dilapidated house in the southwest, is the suspicious place we investigated.”
Xiao Yang opened his mouth and said, looking at the brightly lit Gambling Stone Square in front, and pointing to a road behind. Looking from their direction, they could only faintly see that the light there was rather dim as if no one lived there.
“There is indeed a subtle fluctuation there, so be careful. Gu Changge is so cunning, maybe he would have arranged many tricks there.”
The Great Mountain Lord nodded and said, his face was a little serious, and there was a pale golden light emerging from his dark eyes. The aura of the entire realm, the changes in the laws, and even the fluctuations of the Dao were all manifested in his mind at this moment.
Such a method had already touched the origin of this realm, which was quite mysterious. Immediately, everyone carefully concealed their aura, and quietly approached the dilapidated house.
“My lord, as you speculated, the Great Mountain Lord and others have quietly left the palace where they rested for the past few days… According to reports from spies, they should be going southwest.”
At this moment, on the top of a palace in the southwest of Heavenly Lu City. Standing here, Gu Changge raised his eyes to look at the group of glorious palaces not far away, with thoughtful eyes.
Behind him, the figure of Nishang appeared and said respectfully.
“It seems that the fish is about to enter the net, so it’s not in vain for me to arrange it for so long.” Gu Changge smiled faintly when he heard the words, and looked away.
“Young Master has made clever calculations, and the Great Mountain Lord thinks that everything is under his control, but he doesn’t know that everything has been arranged by Young Master long ago.”
Nishang looked at Gu Changge’s back, a smile appeared on her glamorous and beautiful face, and her eyes were brilliant.
If it wasn’t mentioned by Gu Zu, she wouldn’t even know that Gu Wudi next to the Great Mountain Lord turned out to be a dark p.a.w.n that Gu Changge had placed there a long time ago.
In other words, Gu Changge had antic.i.p.ated today’s situation a long time ago, so he arranged for Gu Wudi to go there early. The arrangement of all this really surprised her. If she were to be the Great Mountain Lord, she would have never figured out which step went wrong.
The rescue plan that the Great Mountain Lord thought was foolproof today was actually already under Gu Changge’s control. He even revealed the place where Luo Feng, Second Mountain Master, and others were imprisoned to Gu Wudi. He then told Gu Wudi how to inform this to the Great Mountain Lord, so that he could let go of his doubts and vigilance.
“According to the time, they should be almost there. Take my order, call all the men, if the fish is hooked, it’s time to close the net.”
Gu Changge smiled, and when his figure moved, invisible stairs seemed to emerge and condense in the void in front of him as he took a step. With one step, he disappeared thousands of miles away.
“Yes, Young Master.” Nishang responded respectfully but her figure disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, there were several incomparably terrifying auras emerging from the darkness of Heavenly Lu City, and vast fluctuations flushed away like a raging wave, sweeping across the sky, frightening the universe, and making many cultivators tremble unreasonably. Almost crawling down under this aura.
The leaders of all ethnic clans of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions who were discussing the peace covenant for tomorrow were also agitated at the moment, their complexion changed, and they almost thought it was a powerhouse from the Upper Realm.
At this moment, an inexplicable terrifying aura descended, covering the entire Heavenly Lu City. On the other side, Xiao Yang and others, who carefully avoided many patrolling soldiers on the way, finally found the extremely dilapidated house.
From the outside, it looked like the owner of the house had abandoned the house and fled in a hurry before the outbreak of the war, and there were still some things that had not been moved, which made it look extremely desolate.
In the corner of the wall, there was quite a lot of wood that was half a person’s height, covered with vines, which was extremely scary at night. This place was extremely quiet, without any patrolling soldiers. But it was because of this that Xiao Yang and others felt uneasy and more careful.
“Leave a group of people outside, and the rest will come down with me. There are formation patterns here, which can hide sound fluctuation.”
At this time, the Great Mountain Lord suddenly said, it seemed that there were two candles burning in the depths of his eyes, which were golden and filled with a breathtaking aura.
He stared at a courtyard not far away, and a series of talismans were shot out from his raised hands, and the brilliance there suddenly disappeared, and a faintly blurred portal spread out like ripples.
Seeing this scene, everyone was excited. Through that portal, they could see a deeply hidden corridor. At this moment, they had no doubts about the place where the Second Mountain Master and others were being held.
“The time is urgent, I have deceived the secret mechanism of this place, and the other party will not destroy us for a while.”
The Great Mountain Lord continued, there were strands of law and order hanging down from his robe. His whole person was filled with immortal brilliance at this moment, powerful and mysterious.
Everyone was sullen when they heard the words, and then Xiao Yang and Gu Wudi chose to go down with the Great Mountain Lord.
Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird, the powerhouses of the three War G.o.d Clans, stayed outside to watch out, and if there was a slight change, they would spread the news as soon as possible. However, what surprised everyone was that there were not many soldiers guarding the tunnel.
So the moment the Great Mountain Lord entered, he waved his sleeves directly, and the mighty aura rushed away, directly knocking out many soldiers in front of him, and they fell unconscious on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
“Great, it really is here!”
Xiao Yang and the others looked excited, and followed him closely, not leaving behind, and did not find anything wrong.
The layout of the corridor was actually similar to that of many dungeons. There were many perennial candles lit on both sides, making it look very dark and damp. They didn’t go far after entering, and they saw a few people who were imprisoned among them, they were Luo Ying and Second Mountain Master.
However, their four senses were obviously closed now, they couldn’t speak, they couldn’t even hear the sound, and they could only see the Great Mountain Lord, Xiao Yang, and others who came outside the dungeon.
There were chains wrapped around the bodies of Luo Ying and the Second Mountain Master. These chains were obviously made of special materials and were extremely strong.
A few of them were locked in the depths of the dungeon, and it was difficult to move. On the other side of them, Luo Feng was in the same state now, but he was in a coma, with only a faint aura of life left on his body.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yang and others were immediately pleasantly surprised, and even the corner of the Great Mountain Lord’s mouth showed a smile and heaved a sigh of relief.
“It seems that Gu Changge is very relieved of his arrangement, and he never sent any powerhouse to guard this place.”
Xiao Yang looked around for a week, and except for a few people in custody, he didn’t see anyone in charge of guarding.
This surprised him somewhat, but he felt that it was likely that Gu Changge was too confident that they didn’t dare to come here to rescue Second Mountain Master and the others.
“Master, sister, I’m here to save you.” Xiao Yang didn’t think too much, he took a step, with runes rising from his body, and walked toward Second Mountain Master and Luo Ying who were entangled in chains, trying to save them.
But what made him feel a little strange was why Luo Ying and Second Mountain Master looked at him with expressions of fear, helplessness, and pain. Especially Luo Ying’s eyes widened even more as if some great horror was hidden here.
“Something is wrong, why does the old man suddenly have a bad feeling?”
But at this moment, the smile on the Great Mountain Lord’s face froze suddenly, his brows frowned, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. At the same time, in the silent dungeon, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, unhurriedly, but gradually emerging from outside.
Hearing this sound, Xiao Yang and others, no matter how slow their reactions were, also sensed something was wrong at this moment, and their hearts twitched suddenly. Their expressions changed drastically, and they unleashed the weapons in their hands almost immediately.
This time, the plan to come to the rescue of Second Mountain Master and the others didn’t seem to be going smoothly.
“What? Who is it?”
A cold aura suddenly rose from the Great Mountain Lord’s back, his hair stood on end, and he turned around abruptly. His voice was angry, and he possessed special divine powers. Even the Enlightened being might be injured under such a chant.
But the moment the Great Mountain Lord opened his mouth, there was a buzzing sound, and a bright and eye-catching brilliance suddenly lit up in the four walls of the dungeon.
Dao runes appeared one after another like bright lights, dazzling, eye-stinging, and suddenly illuminated the dark depths of the dungeon.
Boom!!!
These runes contained a terrifying aura, where they rose and fell like a galaxy, evolving the heavens and myriad things, mountains, rivers and stars, sun, moon, and rivers.
At the same time, some kind of powerful laws emerged before rushing from all directions and being imprinted in the void. It could be seen that the mighty chaotic mist rose like an ancient palace floating up and down in it.
Among them, Xiao Yang and others even heard the sound of ancient chanting and saw a majestic and vague figure sitting in it, like an ancient G.o.d, who could suppress the heavens and the world.
Such a scene caused their expressions to change dramatically, revealing horror and disbelief. It was obvious that these powerhouses had already made arrangements to completely block this place, and it was difficult to even transmit their aura.
“It’s you… Gu Changge!! How did you know we’d come here…”
When he saw the man in white clothes coming from outside the dungeon, Xiao Yang’s face changed even more suddenly, his voice was trembling, even a little pale, he couldn’t believe it.
“I have been waiting for you for a long time.” Gu Changge shook his head lightly with a calm smile on his face, without explaining anything.
And as he finished speaking, there was a huge wave suddenly coming from behind him, like a mountain and sea rushing forward, trying to submerge Xiao Yang and others.
Many Enlightened beings appeared here, among them, the aura of Gu Zu and others was the most terrifying. Just standing there, they caused Xiao Yang and others’ spines to bend down and worship them.
This kind of aura made their faces pale with fright, and it was difficult to hide their fear. They couldn’t stand still at all, and they could only look at the Great Mountain Lord for help.
“You expected that I would come here to rescue them?”
Although the Great Mountain Lord was much calmer than Xiao Yang and the others at the moment, his complexion was hard to hide, and he stared at Gu Changge and asked.
