After dealing with the others, Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie split up to search for Mu Qing's cage.
Yong Shanling sped past various cages. In just a few minutes, she witnessed more spiritual beasts and the miserable states of humans. Maybe some of these people were nibbled on by small demons out of greed on the way back? They all looked horribly mutilated. Most of them were numbly squatting in a small corner, motionless like dead people.
Yong Shanling hated this organization even more. She made up her mind that after rescuing Mu Qing, she must find someone to destroy this organization.
An old man? No.
A monster? No.
A woman? No.
Too thin? No.
Too fat? No.
Green - haired? No?
Yong Shanling stopped abruptly. She took a closer look at the green - haired man. The man was lying flat on the ground, his face covered by his hair, only a small part of his face visible.
Judging from the little part of his face that was showing, he did look quite similar to Mu Qing, but the hair color...
Yong Shanling hesitated. Suddenly, she remembered that Xiaoyu's parents had once said that his hair would turn green after fading. Moreover, Mu Qing was a spiritual beast of plants and trees that had taken human form. So this must be him! Yong Shanling couldn't help but smile happily.
She quickly summoned Mu Yijie in her mind. Mu Yijie rushed over soon. He took a look at the green - haired man and nodded affirmatively.
He didn't need to judge by the hair. With his powerful memory, he recognized that this was definitely Mu Qing.
"Ling'er, take a few steps back. I'll open this prison door." Mu Yijie said in a deep voice. At the same time, he took out the wooden sword that Yong Shanling had given him. After sizing it up, he struck it down hard. The previously strong chain was as if it were made of paper and was easily cut off.
Yong Shanling quickly ran in and felt Mu Qing's breath. Finding that he was still alive, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Mu Qing ~ Mu Qing, Mu Qing ~ Wake up quickly. We've come to rescue you. Wake up quickly." Yong Shanling gently patted Mu Qing's head, hoping to wake him up. A conscious person would be more helpful than an unconscious one.
"Ugh ~" Mu Qing opened his eyes with a headache. In a daze, he saw a delicate and cute woman. After looking closely, he found it was Yong Shanling.
"Quick... run quickly. There are demons!" His expression immediately panicked, and he shouted loudly at Yong Shanling.
Yong Shanling smiled and patted his shoulder. "It's okay. We've come to rescue you. Are you injured? Can you still move? How much spiritual power do you have left? We're going to escape outside right away." As Yong Shanling helped him up and was about to support him forward, the person in her hands suddenly disappeared.
She looked up and found that it was Mu Yijie who had taken Mu Qing over. Mu Yijie avoided Yong Shanling with a dark face.
She stuck out her tongue, knowing that Uncle was jealous.
"My spiritual power has all disappeared. It seems to be the effect of this spiritual - locking bracelet." Mu Qing raised his hand and showed the bracelet on his wrist to the two of them.
Yong Shanling frowned and took a look. She used her spiritual power to test it and found that this was a top - grade spiritual - locking bracelet. "We need a powerful magical instrument to destroy it, but we don't have a powerful magical instrument here!"
"Ling'er, have you forgotten your bell?" Mu Yijie said with a smile as he tapped her head. This forgetful girl had forgotten her powerful Soul - Rattling Bell again. What magical treasure could be more powerful than the one used by Yun Shan?
Yong Shanling's eyes lit up. Right! How could she forget this treasure?
Thinking of this, she took out her bell. After observing the angle, she smashed it hard at the bracelet.
With a bang, the bracelet broke immediately.
The few of them didn't dare to delay any longer. They immediately flew outside. In the winding tunnel, they turned this way and that. Fortunately, Mu Yijie still remembered the way they had come. So they successfully escaped from the dungeon.
"Phew." Mu Yijie sat down on the ground weakly. Looking at the moon in the sky, he showed a happy smile. He had finally escaped from that hell.
God knows how desperate he was when he was captured by those black - robed men. Fortunately, he had sent Xiaoyu away before he was caught. Thinking of Xiaoyu, his expression immediately became anxious. He asked the two of them in succession, "Is Xiaoyu with you? Have you met her? Is she okay?"
"She's okay. It was because we met her that we knew something had happened to you. You should really thank her." Yong Shanling said with a smile.
Hearing that Xiaoyu was okay, his nerves relaxed. "That's good. That's good."
"We'd better go back quickly. After all, this is a desolate place and it's very close to their dungeon. It would be bad if we were discovered." Mu Yijie observed the surroundings warily and calmly analyzed the situation around them.
After taking a short rest, the few of them immediately rushed towards the Mu Family Villa.
Soon, they returned to the villa.
"You're back. How did things go?" They heard an anxious voice coming over. The person rushed towards Yong Shanling.
Before Yong Shanling could say anything, they heard a gentle male voice. "Xiaoyu, I'm back."
Xiaoyu, who had been eagerly grabbing Yong Shanling's hand, immediately froze. She slowly turned her head. Her pupils constricted, and she saw the figure she had been longing for day and night.
"Husband, is it really you?" Xiaoyu immediately let go of Yong Shanling's hand and quickly ran towards Mu Qing. She was as agile as if she wasn't a pregnant woman.
"It's really me. Fortunately, there are Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie. They're the ones who saved me. If it weren't for them, I might not have come back." Mu Qing tightly hugged Xiaoyu. He was still immersed in the emotion of surviving a disaster.
After the two of them had expressed their feelings, they finally calmed down. Xiaoyu solemnly bowed to the two of them. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, the two of us wouldn't have been able to meet again."
"It's nothing. This is what we should do. As cultivators, we should all help each other. Besides, if something happened to us, I believe Mu Qing would also help." Yong Shanling scratched her head and said with a smile, winking playfully.
Xiaoyu looked at the mischievous Yong Shanling and a smile appeared on her lips.
"How was your investigation? We've also been targeted by the black - robed men, but we lost them." Suddenly, Li Zhuo walked in and said loudly to them.
"Lost them? Where did you lose them?" Mu Yijie's brows immediately frowned. They seemed not to have met. Weren't Hou Hua and Li Zhuo in the same place?
