At this moment, Li Mu was still unaware of the collusion between Tianyi and Hongxi. In fact, he had considered this possibility just now, but did not care. In his opinion, even if Hongxi was in the same group, he would not care at all. After all, no matter how powerful Hongxi was in the past, he was only the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor now. What threat could he pose to him?
At this time, he had already arrived at the inner city area of Tenglong City.
Looking around, the place was desolate, without even a trace of chaotic energy. From time to time, one could see monks with haggard faces being pierced by chains, imprisoning their bodies.
Moreover, their vital energy is also being drained away by the chains. In order to achieve a long-term effect, their vital energy is being drained away extremely slowly. Even a cultivator at the level of the Immortal Ancestor of Creation would need at least 1 million years to be completely drained of his vital energy and be freed.
They watched as the vital energy in their bodies was slowly being drained away by the chains, but they had no power to resist at all. It was hard to imagine what kind of physical pain and mental torture they had to go through during this period of at least one million years. They were simply unable to live or die.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu felt a little heavy-hearted. A demon like Hongxi should not be allowed to stay in this world.
But unfortunately, he has the bargaining chips in his hands, and for the sake of the overall situation, we can only let him survive for the time being.
It was precisely because Li Mu felt a little guilty that he did not hesitate to use his own life law on Hongxi. This was not only to save the victims in Tenglong City, but also to prevent more people from suffering from Hongxi's clutches.
If he himself is unwilling to give up the law of life, how can he have the nerve to talk about "considering the overall situation"?
Shaking his head, Li Mu stopped thinking about it and decided to rescue these people first.
Then, Li Mu flew above the entire Tenglong City, stretched out his hand, and all the tens of millions of chains wrapped around those monks were crushed.
However, since most of these monks had been suffering from torture for a long time, they had long been numb. Only a few monks who had just entered the demon cave noticed the abnormality at the first time, but they still stood where they were, not daring to move.
"Go, you are free." Li Mu said softly. His voice was not loud, but it was like a magical power. It echoed over the entire Tenglong City and also had a soul-cleansing effect. All the monks woke up when they heard his words.
Some of the braver ones tentatively flew out of the city, and only when they saw that they were not hindered by anything did the remaining monks flee in all directions like birds and beasts.
…………
In Chunfeng Tower, Liu Hao kept his eyes and ears open. While chatting with Qian Gui, he also listened to the conversations of other guests in order to collect intelligence.
Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Go, you are free."
Liu Hao was shocked when he heard this, and then he looked at the reactions of Qian Gui and other guests in Chunfeng Tower, and they were also surprised and suspicious.
Qian Gui was especially shocked, and stammered, "Old Liu, this... isn't this the voice of your Palace Master?"
"Brother Qian, I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company." Liu Hao stood up and reminded Qian Gui before leaving, "Tenglong City is no longer necessary, so you should pack up and leave."
"This... Old Liu, what do you mean? Explain it clearly!" Qian Gui was puzzled, but Liu Hao had already left, and no one answered his question for him.
Seeing the disheveled monks rushing out of the mysterious inner city of Tenglong City like crazy, Qian Gui also felt something unusual.
Qian Gui had a bitter look on his face. He had been operating in Tenglong City for a thousand years and had finally established a firm foothold. Although the store prices in Tenglong City had increased, it was better to live a miserable life than to die. In this day and age, where else could be safer than Tenglong City? Liu Hao's words were incoherent. He just asked him to leave Tenglong City without explaining the reason. How could he make up his mind?
But then he thought, the reason why he was able to survive under the pressure of high shop rents today is because of the high-end goods Liu Hao gave him. If he didn't even have this much trust in Liu Hao, even if Tenglong City was fine, I'm afraid people wouldn't do business with him, and his shop would still go bankrupt.
In the end, he still had to leave Tenglong City. It was not because he could not afford the money to live in the inner city permanently, but because he always felt that the inner city was a little weird, because in all these years, he had not seen anyone from the inner city come out.
…………
"Palace Master." Liu Hao quickly came to Li Mu and saluted respectfully.
Li Mu raised his hand and a long sword appeared in his hand, which he threw towards Liu Hao.
Liu Hao quickly caught it with both hands.
"There will no longer be a Tenglong City after today. Take this sword and evacuate the people." Li Mu ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Liu Hao accepted the order.
…………
At this time, hundreds of thousands of monks had gathered at the exit, and the number was still increasing. However, as the city gates were closed, they could not leave the city. They were bombarding the city gates in anger.
"Captain, what should we do now? These bastards are going to rebel!" A city guard looked anxious.
"Hmph! Don't worry about them! Tenglong City has existed for who knows how many years and has always stood firm. How can these ants shake it?" The captain of the city guard said coldly.
"But the inner city has been breached, and everyone inside has escaped. And that voice just now..."
"General Xu will be here soon, they can't cause any trouble!" said the captain calmly.
"General Xu hasn't left yet?" The city guards were surprised.
"The Chaos Sea is too chaotic right now, so General Xu's army stayed behind specifically to protect the safety of Tenglong City." The captain explained.
