Ji Lin asked a few more questions, but Feng Ling's mental state changed, and his words were a little unclear. The only information he could summarize was the previous ones.
However, even so, it is already quite good information for everyone at Freedom Gate. At least they know where the hostages are being held, and it is indeed Evil Soul Master who is responsible for guarding them.
This gave them a direct target for their next actions.
Coming out of Feng Ling's room, Ji Lin looked at the girls and said, "Two days have passed. The disappearance of one Evil Soul Master will definitely arouse Holy Spirit Cult's alarm, so we need to take action as soon as possible."
According to Ji Lin's speculation, in the next few days, the suppression war on the border will reach fever pitch. Only by taking advantage of the fiercest fighting there to rescue people will the chance be greatest, because Holy Spirit Cult is likely to draw away the strong ones.
"Judging from what Feng Ling told us, Holy Spirit Cult couldn't help but attack the hostages. A small number of the hostages were taken away by Evil Soul Master. Their fate can be imagined. Even if some of them are still alive, they may be worse off than dead. Just give up on these people. It will be useless to rescue them, just like this Feng Ling."
The girls nodded. Indeed, the soul masters taken away by Evil Soul Master could not be safe and sound. They were just here to sell favors, not nannies, and they had to save everyone.
It's enough to save some of them.
Time is no longer sufficient. As for the Sun Moon Empire, more attention is focused on the border. According to estimates, although Holy Spirit Cult is guarding this side, the guarding force will definitely be relaxed compared with the initial situation. Ji Lin does not want to go into full-scale war with Holy Spirit Cult for the time being. First, Ye Guyi and others have not fully grown up, and second, the gain outweighs the gain.
At this time, it is very troublesome for them to leave the city safely. If they want to leave the city easily without making a big fuss, it is far more difficult than entering the city. This Sunrise City was originally a trap. After all, the place where the hostages are held is actually outside the city. No wonder Ji Lin's Spirit Detection didn't find many strong people, and Ye Guyi couldn't find more Evil Soul Master. I originally thought it was some kind of Soul Tool interference, but it turned out that they were not in the city at all.
It seems that the other rescue teams who sneaked into the city as stupidly as Ji Lin and the others are still wandering around the city like headless flies.
Ji Lin took Wang Qiu'er and Ye Guyi to Nancheng District, while the others stayed behind at the hotel.
He decided to use Spirit Detection to investigate first, so as not to miss again.
Ji Lin brought Wang Qiu'er and Ye Guyi to Nancheng quickly, less than fifty meters away from the city wall.
It was lunch time at this time. Ji Lin and the three of them found a very ordinary small restaurant facing the street and sat in. They ordered some food and started to eat slowly.
Ji Lin is sitting in the inner corner, blocked by Wang Qiu'er and Ye Guyi. It is difficult for others to notice Ji Lin, whose eyes have turned into gold.
Ji Lin The first time Spirit Detection was launched with full force, it not only used the power of the million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Bone, but also Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Sacred Mark.
Spirit Detection quietly opened, and under his control, it was like a sharp awl piercing the ground, exploring downwards.
Mental Power passed directly through the city wall, which was likely to trigger the detector Soul Tool on the city wall, so Ji Lin simply went around underground. Only a Mental Power huge soul master like him could withstand such consumption.
The defense on the south city wall was indeed tighter than in other places. They just glanced briefly and found that among the soul detectors here, there were many more thermal energy detectors and Soul Power detectors than at the north city gate where they entered the city.
Moreover, there are some quite powerful attacks Soul Tool hidden on the wall here, and the peripheral defense is quite tight.
I don't know what the commander who deployed the defense was thinking. Doesn't this obviously tell others that there is a problem here in Nancheng District?
Otherwise, why would the defense be tighter than in other directions?
Mental Power has been exploring diagonally downwards and exploring deep underground, which consumes a lot of Mental Power. That is to say, Ji Lin has a million years of spirit Soul Bone, and a million years of Sacred Mark support can lead to unscrupulous squandering.
After drilling nearly thirty meters into the ground, Ji Lin suddenly felt his Mental Power light up and finally got out of the soil and entered the water.
Moat, this should be the moat.
Mental Power continued to explore downwards and began to explore horizontally.
The water in the Sunrise City moat is a bit turbid, but the sensor of Mental Power is separate from the body. It is not like a line of sight and will be blocked.
Soon, Ji Lin's Mental Power swept through a section of turbid river water of about fifty meters, but found nothing. There was only mud at the bottom of the river. Ji Lin once again increased the size of Mental Power's output, this time, can detect a larger area. He can't explore endlessly underground. After all, there is no way to build anything under this mud, and Feng Ling only knows that it is outside Nancheng and in the moat.
Mental Power swept across and soon exceeded two hundred meters. As the coverage area became larger, with the increase of Million-Year Soul Bone, Ji Lin could feel more things.
He gradually felt a cold breath coming from Sisi. This cold breath was unique to Evil Soul Master. It was very different from ordinary soul masters. Towards the direction of the cold breath, Ji Lin's Mental Power spread eastward. Finally, Ji Lin was found.
That was three meters below the river bank on the city wall side of the moat about three hundred meters east from their location.
There is an iron fence in that place. The iron fence is made of fine iron as thick as an arm. The cold breath comes from there. In other words, if that place is not the entrance of the water prison, it should at least be the entrance and exit of the water prison that guides the water.
Quickly retracting his Spirit Detection, Ji Lin rubbed his eyebrows. This kind of long-distance detection also required suppressing his mental fluctuations to prevent being discovered by Soul Tool. It required very delicate operations. Even Ji Lin felt mentally exhausted.
"How's it going?"
Seeing the golden light disappear in Ji Lin's eyes, Ye Guyi and Wang Qiu'er knew that Ji Lin had ended Spirit Detection.
"We found the entrance, let's go take a look."
Ji Lin quickly checked out with Ye Guyi and Wang Qiu'er, left the small restaurant, and then walked towards the south city wall.
Thirty meters closer to the south city wall, they could no longer move forward. People on the city wall were already shouting and expelling them, and there were also patrols below the city who noticed this.
Ji Lin The three pretended to be ignorant civilians and headed east along the south city wall.
While walking, Ji Lin told Ye Guyi and Wang Qiu'er about the detected situation.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Qiu'er asked.
Ji Lin said, "I will take a closer look tonight, and I only found a suspected entrance. I am not sure whether it is the place where the hostages are held."
With Chi Yuan's cultivation, there is no problem in bringing Ji Lin close to the moat. As long as they confirm that this is the place of detention tonight, they can start taking action.
As night fell, Ji Lin and Chi Yuan came to Nancheng alone. They passed through the city wall quietly, but the detector Soul Tool on the city wall showed no movement. You know, Dragon God Douluo Mu En could ignore the detector at the beginning. Measuring Soul Tool entered Mingde Hall and wandering around, not to mention that Chi Yuan's cultivation level is above Mu En, and the detecting Soul Tool here is not as good as Mingde Hall.
For Chi Yuan, Douluo Continent has gone out of those places related to the Divine Realm, and other places can come and go freely. This is why Ji Lin dares to take Wang Dong'er The reasons why people like and Xiao Xiao, whose cultivation is just Soul Emperor, come to this dragon's den to save people are firstly to have confidence, and secondly to have experience. Experiencing more of this kind of thing will be beneficial to their growth.
Soon, Ji Lin came to the moat under the cover of Chi Yuan.
He did not enter the river directly, but released Spirit Detection again, and Mental Power entered the river. This time Ji Lin came to the underwater iron fence he had found before and dived in.
The river water behind the iron fence was still turbid. Ji Lin and Mental Power kept spreading forward, and soon I saw an amazing scene.
Feng Ling is right, this is a water prison, surrounded by solid rocks. The steel cages are arranged neatly, and the area is actually quite large.
There were eight to ten people imprisoned in each cage. The water in the cage was one meter deep, and the turbid water soaked people's bodies. Almost all the people locked in them had pale faces and weak breaths. In this water prison, there was almost no way to rest and they could only lean on the side.
Ji Lin did a little identification and recognized that these people were the team members and leaders of various colleges and sects who had participated in the All-Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.
Ji Lin even discovered the figures of the team members and team leaders of the Heavenly Armor Sect and Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, who had competed with Freedom Gate. However, their auras were very weak now, and there was no Soul Power fluctuation on their bodies.
After a brief investigation, Ji Lin restrained his Spirit Detection. There must be a Evil Soul Master guarding here. God knows if there is a spiritual Evil Soul Master. He was discovered once. Ji Lin is very wary of the spiritual Evil Soul Master.
He began to patrol around the cage, and slightly familiar faces kept appearing in the cage. Most of them Ji Lin couldn't name them, but they had some impressions. These people are all geniuses and can represent their respective colleges and sects. Which one is not the leader of the younger generation?
In their future, the lowest achievement is Soul Saint, and some people even hope to become Titled Douluo. You know, Soul Saint is already the advanced combat power of the Douluo Continent. Rescue these people and sell them a favor, for Freedom Gate, it is a sure profit.
Sun Moon Empire imprisoned them without mercy, and completely broke up with the original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms. At the same time, it was also the academies and sects originally belonging to the Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms that were suppressed by these hostages. They were wary and did not dare to easily get involved in the war between countries.
