He did not care about losing his life.
"Help! Someone come quick!"
boom!
Huang Tianyao's eyes were cold as he stepped onto the back of the still-calling guard and looked around.
They found a young man hiding in a corner, whose cultivation level was not high, and who was preparing to escape.
Huang Tianyao wounded the rushing guard with a single sword strike, but did not kill him. He sheathed his sword and strode toward the young man.
With a blank expression, he asked, "Where is Shangguan Fu'er?"
The young man hadn't expected Huang Tianyao to come after him, and he stammered, not daring to speak. Huang Tianyao impatiently swung his sword at the young man's arm, his tone becoming harsher: "Speak! Tell me your location!"
A sharp pain shot through him, and the young man screamed in agony.
Huang Tianyao's eyes were cold. He easily dodged a sword strike from the guard behind him, then twisted his wrist and struck the guard with the hilt, knocking him unconscious.
The guards in the Mo Family prison were quite skilled, but Huang Tianyao was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and he had already scouted out the layout of the Mo Family prison beforehand.
They managed to sneak in without alerting too many guards.
Meanwhile, most of the elders of the Mo family were at the Martial Arts Pavilion, so Huang Tianyao's commotion had not yet alarmed many people.
Huang Tianyao glanced down at the young man who was clutching his shoulder and groaning, and said impatiently, "Lead the way, or I'll kill you right now."
The young man hesitated for a long time, glanced at the long sword in Huang Tianyao's hand, and then subtly looked around.
The guards, injured by Huang Tianyao, lay scattered all around.
His Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously, and he nodded reluctantly, whispering, "It's...it's over there."
As he spoke, the young man tilted his head to the left.
Huang Tianyao suppressed the impatience in his eyes, strode forward, picked up the young man like a chick, and said coldly, "I will not kill anyone today if I see Shangguan Fu'er, otherwise I guarantee I can kill all the Mo family members around here before your elders arrive."
Upon hearing this, fear flashed in the young man's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "I'm not lying, it really is over there, please don't!"
Huang Tianyao was very satisfied with the man's fearful expression.
His attire differed from that of ordinary guards, suggesting he was a member of the Mohist school.
While I was fighting with the guards, this person was secretly protected in a corner, trying to escape; he was a coward who feared death.
Other guards might also know Shangguan Fu'er's location, but it would take a long time to pry the information out of them.
Huang Tianyao gripped his longsword tightly; what he lacked most right now was time.
Before Huang Tianyao could speak, the young man hurriedly said, "I don't know how to open it! Shangguan Fu'er is a demon clan member under important guard, and all I know is that she is imprisoned here."
Huang Tianyao stared intently at the young man, and after confirming that the man's words did not seem to be false, he abruptly threw the man aside.
The young man hit his head on the stone wall and immediately lost consciousness.
Huang Tianyao took a deep breath, not daring to delay any longer, and reached out to touch the black iron gate, estimating the material of the gate and the magic array on it.
He then took out a magical artifact shaped like an array plate from his Sumeru Ring, infused it with spiritual power, and threw it forward with great force.
The magical artifact struck the iron gate with a crisp sound, shattering like porcelain, followed by a violent earthquake.
Huang Tianyao plunged his longsword into the stone wall beside him and used it to steady himself.
The shockwave from the explosion swept past, and without the slightest hesitation, Huang Tianyao flashed through the crack in the black iron gate and entered through it.
Light streamed in from outside, and Shangguan Fu'er, her face covered in dust and her clothes disheveled, stared blankly at Huang Tianyao as he entered.
Huang Tianyao raised his longsword and severed all the restraints on Shangguan Fu'er with three strikes, saying, "Let's go, we need to hurry."
Shangguan Fu'er unconsciously shed tears and murmured, "Princess..."
Huang Tianyao helped Shangguan Fu'er up and said slowly, "Go out first and follow me."
Before leaving, Huang Tianyao took one last look at the young man who had brought him there, still angry.
During this prison break from the Mo family, Huang Tianyao tried his best to control himself and did not kill anyone.
He came alone this time, and after rescuing Shangguan Fu'er, he couldn't go straight back to the demon clan. After all, by now, Zhu Hehong should have noticed the abnormality on his side and started investigating.
They cannot remain among the human race.
This marks the second time that I have embarrassed the Mo family. I have never gotten along with Mo Zuili, and the Mo family is on Mo Zuili's side. If they find out that Shangguan Fu'er has been rescued, they will likely launch a large-scale search.
He would not kill her himself, but instead lead Shangguan Fu'er through the crack in the Immortal Valley of the Human Race to the outer layer of the Immortal Valley. If they could break through and reach the Nascent Soul stage, they would succeed.
After being released, he was able to argue with the Mo family for imprisoning Shangguan Fu'er first, and that he was merely providing reasonable rescue.
Huang Tianyao and Shangguan Fu'er ran wildly, almost bumping into the quick-reacting elders of the Mo family.
Huang Tianyao thought that this time luck was on his side.
With the help of the magical artifacts brought from the Phoenix Clan, Huang Tianyao and Shangguan Fu'er barely managed to evade Elder Tan's pursuit.
They blended into the crowd about to enter the Immortal Valley Rift.
...
After listening to the younger generation's account, Old Master Tan waved for them to leave.
Another elder of the Mo family frowned and said angrily, "This Huang Tianyao is really bold! Does he really think that the Mo family has no one left? He actually dares to break us out of prison!"
Old Tan thought even more deeply. He remembered that the young master had once said that the demon race was guarded by her friend Zhu Hehong. Given Huang Tianyao's actions, it was impossible for him to stay safely in the demon race with Shangguan Fu'er.
Then the only way is to enter the outer layer of the Immortal Valley through the crack in the Immortal Valley.
In that case, the Mohists would have no chance of pursuing the Immortal Valley.
"Alas." Old Tan sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Things have come to this point. Strengthen the guard of the Mo family prison. Let's discuss this matter after the young master comes out of the Immortal Valley."
...
Demon race.
Zhu Hehong's lips twitched as she looked at the message Huang Yu had brought her. After reading it, she laughed in anger.
After gritting his teeth for a long time, he finally calmed himself down and said softly, "Yes, I understand. Huang Tianyao and Shangguan Fu'er should have already entered the Immortal Valley."
Huang Geng, standing next to Huang Yu, immediately retorted, "Impossible! Although you gave the entrance to the Immortal Valley to Huang Tianyao and the others, I personally led people to set up and guard the outer perimeter. It's impossible for Huang Tianyao to bring Shangguan Fu'er in."
Zhu Hehong snorted and rolled her eyes, saying, "The thought of having a stupid thing like you as my subordinate after ascending to the throne of the Demon King makes me not want to come back to be the Demon King either."
Before Huang Geng could even open his mouth and spout nonsense, Huang Yu covered his mouth.
Huang Yu gently shook her head and said, "Huang Tianyao brought Shangguan Fu'er and entered the outer layer of the Immortal Valley through the crack in the Immortal Valley of the human race."
After explaining to Huang Geng, Huang Yu turned to Zhu Hehong and asked softly, "What do we do now? We need to find out about Huang Tianyao's side..."
Before Huang Yu could finish speaking, Zhu Hehong raised her hand to interrupt her, saying, "That's your business, you don't need to ask me."
Huang Yu's mind went blank, and she blinked.
Zhu Hehong raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly, "I've taken care of everything I promised Mo Zuili. As for the mess your Phoenix Clan is left to clean up when she gets back, go ahead and do whatever you want! I finally don't have to waste my energy talking to a bunch of idiots like you!"
As Zhu Hehong spoke, she stepped toward the gate.
Huang Yu subconsciously reached out her hand, but Zhu Hehong suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at Huang Yu, saying, "You're not particularly stupid."
After saying that, he turned and left gracefully, leaving Huang Yu and Huang Geng looking at each other in bewilderment.
...
Mo Zuili was completely unaware of the outside world's conflicts.
For Mo Zuili, most of her personal conflicts had been resolved, and the last one could only be settled in the Immortal Valley.
Immortal Valley, according to the explanation in the novel.
It is a place of slumber that the immortals carved out for themselves.
The inner and outer layers of the Immortal Valley are actually in the same space.
By combining the novel's content with the description of the Immortal Valley in the secret scrolls he saw at the Mo family, he concluded that the Immortal Valley was generally laid out in a gentle slope, resembling a wide, terraced field.
The bottom layer is the entrance to the crack, which is the outer layer of the Immortal Valley.
The outer layer is mostly dark earth-colored and covered with gravel. The spiritual energy is so thin that it is almost imperceptible. Ferocious beasts and demons can be seen everywhere. Opportunities are extremely rare and mostly hidden in dangerous places, requiring one to fight for them amidst the claws and fangs of beasts.
As you ascend, the slope becomes gentler, the spiritual energy gradually becomes denser, the number of ferocious beasts decreases and their ferocity weakens, and opportunities such as spiritual herbs, spiritual ores, and low-grade spiritual fruits gradually increase.
When you reach two-thirds of the way through the Immortal Valley, you will reach the inner layer of the Immortal Valley.
The inner layer of the Immortal Valley is rich in spiritual energy, with lush vegetation and few ferocious beasts. Most of the creatures are gentle beings such as spirit deer and spirit butterflies, which enhance the quality of opportunities.
The highest peak of Immortal Valley is the place in this world closest to "immortals".
According to records, in ancient times, more than one cultivator ascended to the summit and achieved immortality, leaving behind precious opportunities.
This tradition has been passed down through generations, and now there's a saying that even if you're poisoned, as long as you go to the summit, you can find a trace of divine energy to cure the poison.
If Mo Zuili wants to solidify her foundation, she can find the corresponding opportunity by going to the top.
The stories became increasingly fantastical, and Mo Zuili felt as if those immortal predecessors were like Aladdin's lamp.
As long as newcomers make a wish, the genie lamp... ah, no, I mean the predecessors will grant their wishes.
The cultivators who entered the inner layer directly through different entrances were randomly thrown to various locations.
Mo Zuili and Mo Yuan were quite lucky; they landed in a relatively upper part of the inner layer.
Mo Zuili looked around.
When I landed, not a speck of dust touched my feet. Beneath my feet was a thin layer of green grass, with dewdrops even clinging to the blades, reflecting the sunlight and shimmering with tiny silvery glimmers.
The spiritual energy was extremely abundant. With each breath, the spiritual energy flowed into his lungs through his nasal cavity and surged into his dantian along his meridians, making Mo Zuili's tense body relax a bit.
Looking up, you can even see century-old fir trees here, with vigorous trunks and bark covered with spiritual patterns.
Mo Zuili rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
If plants and trees have spiritual patterns, it means that this ancient tree has cultivation!
When the wind blows, even tiny glimmers of light scatter through the branches and leaves.
Mo Yuan, being more experienced than Mo Zuili, withdrew his divine sense first and walked to the side.
After looking around, Mo Zuili saw Mo Yuan standing in front of a dark blue stone wall. He gently brushed his fingertips across the wall and turned to her, saying, "These are remnants of an ancient magic array. Although only a few strokes remain, you can tell that it was the foundation of a spirit-gathering array. I suppose this place must have been the cultivation ground of some senior in the past."
Mo Zuili walked over to take a closer look. The patterns on the stone wall were so shallow that they were almost invisible. They only emitted a pale blue light when spiritual energy was injected. The patterns circled half of the stone wall, as if protecting something.
Mo Zuili watched as Mo Yuan moved two steps to the side following the pattern, and after some investigation, he took out a half-open stone box from under the stone wall.
