Chapter 661 Underground Cage
The Hailan Territory Lord narrowed his eyes and said directly, "Sir, I am Hailan."
The voice on the other end paused, and asked in confusion, "Little guy, why did you run to the Canghai Region? Didn't your parents say you were training outside? You've trained across half the continent?"
The old man's words showed his undisguised worry, and he simply ignored the Lord of Hailan.
The Lord of Hailan Domain was somewhat dissatisfied, but he also knew that such a top-level alchemist would be treated as a guest of honor even if he went to Jinglong Domain, so he could only be patient.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he suppressed his displeasure, looking into the void with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
The sea breeze blew gently around him, causing his clothes to flutter, as if even the air froze for a moment.
He took a deep breath and said, "Sir, I am Hai Lan, the Lord of the Canghai Territory. I have asked this young lady to contact you because I have a deal I would like to discuss with you. I wonder if you are interested."
The old man's voice was emotionless. "I am old and have no interest in the affairs of the outside world."
The Lord of the Hailan Territory continued to argue, "Although my Canghai Territory cannot compare to large realms like the Jinglong Territory, it is also well-known. If you are willing to come to my Canghai Territory, I promise to find you everything you want."
There was silence for two seconds, and then the old man spoke again, his voice cold, "I said, I have no interest in the affairs of the continent, Domain Lord, please find someone else."
Luo Li said, "I knew it," and spread her hands. "I told you that Senior wouldn't agree."
The Hailan Territory Lord suddenly smiled cruelly and said calmly, "This little girl is so young, you probably don't want to never see her again in this life, right?"
Threat, a blatant threat.
When Lord Hailan finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
He slowly stretched out his hand, and a hint of dark blue soul power gathered at his fingertips, as piercing as ice.
Luo Li's face suddenly changed. She was about to step back, but she found that her feet seemed to be restrained by invisible chains and she could not move.
The person over there was just as Hailan Territory Lord expected, and he asked anxiously, "What are you going to do?"
The Lord of Hailan Territory smiled and said, "Sir, I, Hailan, am worth a thousand gold coins for every word I write. This is of course a literal meaning."
The smile of Lord Hailan looked particularly strange in the dim light and shadow. The soul power at his fingertips became more and more condensed, as if it would turn into a sharp ice blade in the next moment.
Luo Li's pupils reflected the dark blue. Her breathing became rapid, and a flash of despair flashed in her eyes, "Uncle Cang! Save me!"
The air around seemed to freeze at this moment, and only the slowly raised arm of the Hailan Domain Lord broke the dead silence.
The ice-blue soul power danced in his palm like a bloodthirsty beast about to pounce on its prey.
"Wait a moment!"
The Hailan Territory Lord immediately stopped and said with a smile, "Oh?"
The old man suppressed his anger and said, "Okay! I promise you, I will let them go!"
Hailan Territory Lord said slowly, "Since Your Excellency has agreed, I will naturally release them, but..."
"I promised you, but what!"
Hailan Territory Lord scoffed, "Of course I'm afraid you'll regret it."
He smiled and said, "These two young friends will stay in my Hailan Palace for a while. I give you seven days, so please come quickly."
"You two, just stay in my Hailan Palace for a few days with peace of mind." After saying this, the Hailan Domain Lord raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and with a light wave of his finger, a curtain of light enveloped Luo Li and Qing Chihua, and instantly transferred them to an elegant guest room deep in the palace.
The room is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and outside the window is the sparkling sea view, as if it is a quiet place isolated from the world.
Luo Li calmly glanced around and made sure there was no spying array before she casually sat down on the edge of the bed.
Seeing Luo Li like this, Qing Chihua also relaxed, "Spirit Master, does he believe it just like that?"
Luo Li chuckled, "Of course, because that old man is the Lord of Light in disguise. It would be strange if he could see through it."
"Lord of Light?!" Qing Chihua screamed, then suddenly covered his mouth and asked tentatively, "Is it the Lord of Light from the Light God Clan?"
Luo Li nodded, also a little confused, "Yeah, didn't I tell you?"
Qing Chihua nodded frantically, "Absolutely not, Spirit Master!"
If those people from the Light God Clan knew about this, they would be so happy that they would die.
Luo Li frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then smiled with relief, "I forgot."
The main reason was that Bai Ze didn't mention it, and she had no need to tell anyone else.
Qing Chihua scratched his head and stopped worrying about this issue. Although he was an ally, he was not their god master.
She whispered, "Spirit Master, what should we do now?"
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and a doll that looked exactly like her appeared in the room.
Luo Li gently stroked the puppet's forehead and murmured a spell. A gleam of light flashed in the puppet's eyes, and it imitated her movements vividly.
She looked at Qing Chihua and instructed, "I'll go out and take a look, you stay here."
Qing Chihua was a little worried, but looking at Luo Li's determined eyes, she nodded, "Okay, Spirit Master, you must be careful."
Then, Luo Li's figure flashed and turned into a breeze, silently passing through the window lattice and blending into the night.
Inside the room, Qing Chihua clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the doll.
It was evening, and there were endless patrolling guards in Hailan Palace. With the protection of the Tower of Gods, Luo Li easily avoided the eyes and ears of the guards.
She wandered around here for nearly two hours and finally found a clue at an inconspicuous guard junction.
According to the guards, the people who were captured a few days ago were locked up in the underground cage of Hailan Palace.
After another investigation, Luo Li roughly confirmed the location of the underground cage.
The moon was hanging high in the sky, casting silver light on the glazed tiles of Hailan Palace, making them sparkle.
Luo Li shuttled between the palace eaves, lightly and silently, like a ghost in the night.
She leaped lightly over one carved beam and painted building after another, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
In the distance, the patrolling guards' torches flickered, and in the interweaving of light and shadow, Luo Li's figure was cleverly hidden in the darkness, leaving only a faint shadow, blending into the night, and quietly approaching the destination.
As she approached the cage, Luo Li slowed her breathing. With the help of the shadow of an empty pavilion, she half-crouched down, staring at the heavily guarded entrance with a sharp gaze.
Luo Li's heart tightened, the dagger in her hand gleamed coldly in the moonlight. She took a deep breath, hid her body, and slipped in while the guards were changing.
Underground, the faint candlelight flickered, illuminating the tired and desperate faces.
The air was filled with the smell of dampness and mildew, and occasionally a low cough could be heard, like the silent cry of an imprisoned soul.
Luo Li pursed her lips. Will Ah Ming be here?
