Sun Moon Empire's move was very insidious. It made the colleges and sects originally belonging to the Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms unable to do so and chose to help the three empires. Then those who were imprisoned by the Sun Moon Empire Most of the elite disciples are gone and choose not to help, so what will the three major empires think? Although they know that they have difficulties, this is not a reason for them to stand by and watch. For the three major empires, not helping them is treason, no matter what the reason.

This vicious move directly put the original Three Douluo Kingdoms Zongmen Academy on the fire, and also posed a big problem to the three empires. They did not want to force it, but they had to force it. This is why they actively sent out rescue teams.

As long as the hostages can be rescued, the problem will be solved.

The academies and sects within the three empires can also work together to resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire.

There are two main rows of water prisons. In the center of the two rows of prisons is a stone platform about one meter above the water. The stone platform extends straight, and there are several people in black cloaks patrolling back and forth on it.

Even without special inspection, Ji Lin can feel the cold and evil aura exuding from these Evil Soul Master.

The water prison is on the inside of the city wall. In other words, the news from Feng Ling is not completely accurate. The water prison does use the moat water, but it is not outside the city, it is still inside the city. And judging from the water diversion situation, the water prison must have an entrance inside the city.

Ji Lin The corner of his mouth twitched, this is really a chain of events, you thought we were inside the city, no, we are outside the city, you thought we were outside the city, no, we are still inside the city.

Ji Lin has a strong sense of direction. After a short period of thinking, he has roughly judged the location of the entrance. What makes him speechless is that the entrance is actually in the Tibetan Soldier Cave next to the South City Gate.

The Tibetan Soldier Cave is a place specially designed to provide temporary rest for soldiers when defending the city. It is located on the side of the city gate. From the bottom, you can quickly support the city gate, and from the top, you can quickly climb to the top of the city. It is really easy to arrange! Places like the Cangbing Cave are always guarded by soldiers, and coupled with the large number of detection Soul Tool near the city gate, it is extremely difficult to sneak in without being discovered at all.

While Ji Lin was making a judgment, suddenly, he found several Evil Soul Masters walking towards this side. The Evil Soul Masters who had been patrolling before were all standing respectfully on both sides of the stone platform, each of them bent deeply, showing an extremely respectful look.

None of the people walking slowly covered their bodies with cloaks. There were five people in total, two Titled Douluo and three Soul Douluo Evil Soul Master.

The two leaders Titled Douluo are fierce and not easy to mess with at first glance, while the other three Soul Douluo are three old men who look to be at least seventy years old. What is surprising is that these three old men look exactly the same and are dressed the same.

They are all thin, with many wrinkles on their faces. Their gray Bai Se hair is simply draped behind their heads, and their eyes are dim, giving people a sluggish feeling. What is more distinctive is that they all have a hooked nose and thin lips.

The three old men were all dressed in gray robes, and each of them was holding a crutch in his hand. The crutch was dark in color and about one foot long, and each had a gray gem the size of a human head on the top.

Five Evil Soul Master, even if they face more than five Titled Douluo, they can resist it. Moreover, there are at least dozens of Evil Soul Master arranged here. I don't know if there are other strong Evil Soul Master in charge. There are also the defense forces of two Soul Engineer regiments. Sunrise City is not too far away from Mingdu. Reinforcements can be mobilized from Mingdu at any time. Sun Moon Empire's arrangements are not loose.

There must have been a war on the border, but Sun Moon Empire still had such arrangements. It can be seen that Sun Moon Empire still cares about these prisoners.

Ji Lin While thinking, he tried his best to suppress his mental fluctuations to prevent being discovered.

Fortunately, his Mental Power is now higher than these Evil Soul Master in terms of quality and quantity, otherwise it is really possible to be discovered by those two Titled Douluo level Evil Soul Master.

As long as there is no mental system Evil Soul Master present, Ji Lin does not have to worry about being discovered.

The five Evil Soul Master walked and looked into the water cells on both sides. The hostages naturally saw them, staring at them with malicious eyes, but these hostages were too weak and had even lost the power to yell.

The leader, a fierce old man, said as he walked, "There is no problem with the control, right? Is the medicine enough?"

"The medicine is enough. Every day we put Soul Extinguishing Powder into the water and soak it in the water with Soul Extinguishing Powder. Even Titled Douluo can't condense its own Soul Power. Moreover, these guys haven't eaten for a long time. Even with the physique of a soul master, their whole bodies are weak now. Several of them have been unconscious before. We have replenished their nutrition in time."

The one who answered was one of the triplets.

The leader of the old man stopped, turned around and glanced at the triplets, and said, "A Tian, food still needs to be given to them. Under the influence of Soul Extinguishing Powder, these people cannot survive the storm, but they cannot starve to death. The leader will be of great use later. The residual value of these hostages is very much. I know that your brothers need these powerful souls, but not now, do you understand?"

"Yes, Second Elder." The old man named A Tian nodded, but it could be seen from his expression that he was somewhat disapproving of Second Elder's words. However, he obviously also gave Second Elder face, and immediately added, "Then I will make arrangements now and give them something to eat. Second brother and third brother, let's go together."

With that said, he nodded to Second Elder and Fourth Elder beside him, then turned around and left.

Watching the two people leave, a coldness flashed through Fourth Elder's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "This Zhongli Brothers is getting more and more outrageous because he is the leader's slave. Are you going to use the three brothers to get some food for the prisoners? This is clearly a show of authority for us brothers."

Second Elder glanced at Fourth Elder and said in a deep voice, "Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense. Zhongli Brothers is the direct subordinate of the leader. We are also loyal to the leader and put the great cause of our religion first."

Although he said this, there was a clear chill in his eyes, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhongli Brothers's actions.

Since his third brother disappeared, the status of their line of elders among Holy Spirit Cult has been affected. This Zhongli Brothers, relying on being the servant of the leader Zhongli Wu, has no respect for them at all, and his usual respect is all disguise.

The two of them walked back and forth in the water prison along the stone platform, and then walked out.

Ji Lin has been observing secretly. It seems that there is a conflict between the two Titled Douluo and the three Soul Douluo, and the control of the water prison should be in the hands of Zhongli Brothers. Also, these contestants have all been poisoned by a poison called Soul Extinguishing Powder, which Ji Lin has an impression of. When Dragon City and Earth Dragon Sect master Nan Shuishui were caught by the third elder of Holy Spirit Cult, Soul Power was suppressed in his body by this poison and could not be used. It seems that this is the same poison, after all, they are all Evil Soul Master of Holy Spirit Cult.

The situation had been proven, and Ji Lin had no need to continue investigating. He quietly took back Spirit Detection.

Ji Lin and Chi Yuan quickly returned to the hotel without alerting anyone.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Wang Qiu'er and others who had been waiting asked quickly when they saw Ji Lin and Chi Yuan coming back.

"Those contestants are indeed imprisoned in a water prison, which is full of Evil Soul Master. Moreover, all the contestants have been poisoned, and there is no way to gather Soul Power. In this case, it is very difficult to rescue hundreds of people."

Ji Lin frowned slightly.

"Poison? What poison?"

Ling Luochеn said curiously, Ling Luochеn, who has evolved from Martial Soul to Ultimate Ice, is no longer afraid of poison.

"You should be familiar with it, it's Soul Extinguishing Powder."

Hearing what Ji Lin said, Ling Luochеn and Ye Guyi felt that they had heard of it somewhere, but they couldn't remember it for a while. Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao and Wang Qiu'er looked confused. They had never heard of this Soul Extinguishing Powder!

Suddenly, Nan Qiu Qiu on the side suddenly realized. "Soul Extinguishing Powder, I remembered, isn't this the poison my mother was poisoned with before!"

Ji Lin nodded and said, "That's right, it's that Soul Extinguishing Powder. It's the same kind of poison. The effect is Soul Power that suppresses the soul master and renders the soul master powerless."

Nan Qiu Qiu said excitedly, "If it's Soul Extinguishing Powder, then I have a way. My mother was poisoned when she was poisoned. After that, she spent a lot of time researching and developed an antidote, just in case. After all, it's Evil Soul Master's poison. If she encounters it again, she won't be helpless. No, this will come in handy."

Ji Lin's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Qiu Qiu, I was right to bring you along this time. You finally played some role."

Nan Qiu Qiu looked proud, and then realized what Ji Lin meant, put his hands on his hips, and said angrily, "Do you mean I was useless before?"

Ji Lin was about to nod when Wang Qiu'er suddenly pulled him and said, "Okay, stop teasing Qiu Qiu, business is more important."

Although there is no finished antidote for Nan Qiu Qiu, there is a prescription. According to the prescription, Soul Extinguishing Powder is a plant toxin, made by merging the juices of about three poisonous plants.

A total of five medicinal materials were needed to make the antidote. Ji Lin and several people worked separately and purchased a medicinal material from major drug stores. With a prescription, they quickly made the antidote.

But in order to restore the combat effectiveness of those hostages, antidote alone is useless. It takes time to cultivate and restore combat effectiveness. In other words, they need to detoxify the hostages in advance, so as to ensure the hostage's combat effectiveness during the operation.

So Ji Lin asked Chi Yuan to sneak into the water prison quietly with the antidote, put the antidote into the water prison, and use the properties of the antidote to slowly neutralize the effects of Soul Extinguishing Powder.
