Chen Li fell silent, like a heavy stone pressing down on the air.
Seeing his demeanor, Yue Shan sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, Chen Li. Since you've decided to leave, don't go back. Otherwise, it will be even more dangerous. Those friends of yours can only be said to have bad luck!"
Xuanjizi, with an indifferent expression, stroked his beard and nodded in agreement. "Young one, let's go. The world of cultivators is this cruel; without sufficient strength, all that awaits is humiliation and death. That is their fate."
As they spoke, they prepared to leave.
"Senior!" Chen Li did not move but suddenly raised his head, looking at the two with intensity. "Do you think we are strong or weak?"
This seemingly nonsensical question left Xuanjizi and Yue Shan stunned.
They halted in their tracks, exchanging glances, unsure why Chen Li had suddenly asked such a question.
After a moment of hesitation, Xuanjizi forced a smile and replied, "With our cultivation level, we barely have the strength to protect ourselves. Compared to those true powerhouses, we are nothing but ants."
Chen Li nodded and said firmly, "Yes, we are weak. If in the future we encounter the same crisis, wouldn't we hope someone would lend us a hand?"
He paused for a moment, his gaze resolute. "Though the heavens may be strong, I believe that when people unite their hearts, they can overcome anything! Therefore, I must go! To save others!"
Though Chen Li's words were simple, they seemed to contain a powerful force that made the surrounding air tremble slightly.
Xuanjizi and Yue Shan were completely taken aback.
The two stared at Chen Li in disbelief.
Go? That was a path fraught with peril!
Yet Chen Li's determined gaze filled them with an inexplicable admiration and stirred their spirits.
Such courage was truly rare!
His unwavering dedication to do what he knew was impossible moved them deeply.
They too had once possessed such fervor and had risked everything for the justice in their hearts.
However, the trials of time had gradually dulled that edge within them, making them more pragmatic and worldly-wise.
Xuanjizi's old face grew complex.
Having lived for hundreds of years and seen countless geniuses and madmen alike, he had never encountered someone like Chen Li—weak yet willing to pursue his desires and risk everything for his sense of justice.
Was this what they called the fearless spirit of youth?
No, this was not just courage; it was the sharpness that every cultivator should possess!
If given enough time, perhaps Chen Li would truly rise like a star, one that could illuminate the entire continent with its brilliance! A surge of hot blood and a long-lost passion suddenly welled up in his heart.
Xuanjizi sighed, "Perhaps we really are getting old, old enough to forget what it truly means. What are we cultivating for? Is it for immortality? For power? Or is it for the fearless pursuit of our goals?"
"Alright! Old Madam will accompany you on this journey!"
Yue Shan laughed heartily, "This old body of mine was picked up anyway, so what is there to fear? Count me in!" He was also happy to be able to save someone.
Shen Qingyue watched the scene before her, her eyes sparkling with surprise. She never expected that her cheap brother would have such a side to him. At that moment, she suddenly felt that Chen Li was so tall and radiant!
Chen Li grinned widely, revealing his teeth, "Thank you both, seniors!"
The four discussed their plan and decided to split into two teams. Chen Li and Shen Qingyue would infiltrate the Demon Cave Prison to rescue the trapped Cultivators, while Xuanjizi and Yue Shan would provide support from the outside. If anything went wrong, they would immediately step in to help.
As night fell, the four quietly approached the territory of the Blood Fiend Sect under the cover of darkness. Chen Li and Shen Qingyue moved cautiously; this path was not unfamiliar to them. Moreover, since Shen Qingyue had become the Celestial Empress, she possessed a wealth of spells. She cast a technique to conceal their presence.
Chen Li utilized the imprint in his mind to channel a strand of Demonic Energy, allowing him to perfectly blend into the shadows.
Soon, they returned to the cave's interior. The remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect were already few in number. With their vitality severely depleted, they had never anticipated that specialized Cultivators would come here. Thus, very few guards were stationed at the Demon Cave Prison.
This provided Chen Li with an opportunity to maneuver. Under the protection of Shen Qingyue and her spiky guardian, he spent an entire night freeing the remaining Cultivators who still had a spark of life within them from their restraints and restoring their Divine Souls.
Deep within the cave, the Spiritual Flame crackled, illuminating the faces of over a hundred survivors who had escaped death. They were ragged and emaciated, resembling a group of souls dragged up from hell.
Behind them lay a mountain of bones, silently telling the cruel tale of the Dungeon. At the forefront of this group stood Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
"Thank you for saving my life!" A burly man with a thick beard was the first to kneel, bowing deeply to Chen Li.
"Yes, thank you, young benefactors!" The others quickly followed suit, and soon the cave echoed with a chorus of gratitude.
Chen Li looked at the sea of kneeling figures before him, feeling a prickling sensation on his scalp.
What are you all doing? It's not the time to thank me! Instead of that, you should be thinking about how to escape!
"Right, right! You’re absolutely right!" The bearded man scrambled to his feet, prompting the others to rise as well.
With so many resources gone, the Blood Fiend Sect will surely notice soon. By then, we won’t be able to leave! Chen Li felt a surge of urgency within him.
He took the lead and stepped forward. "Let’s go!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly followed.
At the same time, in a secluded cave where someone was in closed-door training, a furious roar erupted.
"Damn it! Who dared to release those Two-Legged Sheep?"
As he spoke, he vanished from the cave in an instant.
A torrent of Demonic Energy surged from his body. Moments later, overwhelming Demonic Energy gathered in the void, searching through the mountains like a giant eye, probing for specific details.
Not far away, another wave of Demonic Energy quickly converged in the same direction.
The fleeing group soon sensed something was off; they exchanged worried glances towards the swirling Demonic Energy, their eyes betraying their fear and panic.
This is bad! We've been discovered!
As they spoke, three figures exuding malevolence emerged swiftly from the black mist, blocking their path.
A sinister voice echoed at that moment.
"Hehe, I didn’t expect there would still be two little ones here. This Divine Soul Power... not bad."
