Joining the Fray
Lu Bai shook his hand, and his powerful aura gradually disappeared, returning him to his original harmless appearance.
He turned around, helped Dao Zhengmu up from the ground, and without saying a word, carried the old man out.
As he reached the door, he glanced at Section Chief Misa lay sprawled on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
Considering that a new Section Chief might be appointed at any time, Lu Bai didn't waste time finishing off the old man Dao Zhengmu, and headed straight for the edge of the prison.
Ultimately, Lu Bai was well aware of his disadvantages. If he couldn't close the distance and launch a sneak attack, dealing with Grandmaster martial artist would become quite troublesome. It was best to avoid them if possible.
Seeing this, the heavily injured White-Browed Bat King in the corridor couldn't help but call out, "Young brother, thank you so much! I, the White-Browed Bat King, am deeply grateful for your kindness and will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"
The other two old Grandmaster, who were also crippled by Section Chief Misa, shouted a few words, their core message being similar to that of the White-Browed Bat King.
It seems that these older generation of Grandmaster arts masters are all respectable people who are not used to taking advantage of others.
Lu Bai didn't respond, and they didn't care. They packed up and escaped from A Sector.
As long as you can leave the prison area, you've already succeeded more than halfway, since the high walls surrounding the prison can't stop martial artists.
A moment later, Lu Bai distanced himself from the large group of prisoners and planned to return the way he had come.
Unexpectedly, he ran into an unexpected guy at the corner of the prison walls—the driver that Dao Master had arranged for him.
"What?"
"Mr. Lü?"
The two questions were asked almost simultaneously.
The driver paused for two seconds, then turned his attention to Dao Zhengmu, who was being carried on Lu Bai's shoulder.
His face immediately lit up with undisguised joy. "Grandmaster!"
Dao Zhengmu blinked, looked the driver up and down, and seemed a little confused. "Who are you?"
"It's me, Dao Long."
"Oh, it's Xiao Er. He's grown so big."
"Yes, yes, it's so good to see you again. I thought Mr. Lü... was unable to help and was about to go and assist. But this isn't the place to talk, let's get out of here first."
Dao Long's joy at the reunion was clearly genuine, which moved Dao Zhengmu deeply.
"I'm handing the person over to you. Now we're even."
Now that a laborer had arrived, Lu Bai naturally wouldn't continue carrying the old man on his shoulder, and directly handed him to Dao Long.
Dao Long carefully carried Dao Zhengmu on his back. Upon hearing this, he subconsciously said, "How can this be? Mr. Lü, you rescued our master, so you are our Dao Sect's eternal benefactor."
Actually, from the very beginning, Dao Master's side never thought that Lu Bai could successfully rescue the person; they only wanted Lu Bai to serve as a distraction.
The real rescuers were Dao Long and the other disciples of the Dao Sect.
As they were talking, two figures, like fleas, sped towards them from not far away, stepping on the rooftops of the buildings along the way.
"Senior Brother, Sixth Brother, over here."
Dao Long hurriedly called out, "Grandmaster has been rescued! Quickly go and inform Master to retreat as well!"
Two figures landed one after the other.
The eldest brother looked righteous, and his muscles were sculpted like a sculpture. He didn't look like someone involved in organized crime at all.
"Master."
After landing, the eldest brother first bowed to Dao Zhengmu, then turned to Dao Long and said, "Little Er, now that we've rescued Grandmaster, you should quickly take him away. Little Wu and I are going to help Master."
"What do you mean? If Master wants to leave, is there anyone who can stop him?" Dao Long frowned.
"There's no time to explain. Take your master back to Chikan Bay first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Like Section Chief Misa, he didn't pay any attention to Lu Bai at all.
In his mind, it was probably Dao Long who rescued Dao Zhengmu, and it had nothing to do with Lu Bai, the bait.
Lu Bai was too lazy to explain, but was instead curious about the battle situation on Dao Master's side.
There are countless rumors about Dao Master in Chikan Bay. Even among Grandmaster, he should be among the top tier.
But even such a fierce martial artist is now locked in a tough battle?
With the help of [Ink Dye] and [Flash Time], plus the Internal Energy he already possessed, Lu Bai felt that escaping shouldn't be a problem.
So why not go and see how the truly top-tier Grandmaster fight?
With this thought in mind, Lu Bai silently followed the two Dao Sect disciples.
Unfortunately, because his body had not been fully tempered by Internal Energy, he could not fly across rooftops like the two Dao Sect disciples, causing him to fall behind quite a bit.
The prison's main gate.
The clanging and clashing of metal never stopped.
The violent shockwave whipped up clouds of dust that filled the air and obscured visibility.
If you look closely through the dust, you'll find that the sounds of metal clashing are actually produced by two people firing at each other.
Just by listening to the metallic clanging sound, one can imagine just how tough the bodies of the two people fighting in the arena are.
"Hahaha! A cockroach is a cockroach!"
The Warden Xiong Pi, laughed heartily and unrestrainedly.
His shirt was still intact, but the three buttons from top to bottom had been ripped off by his bulging muscles.
He exuded a primal and wild aura.
However, the Dao Master was exchanging blows with him was clearly not having an easy time.
Each punch sent a mournful wail through his chest, like a bellows, making his breathing exceptionally heavy.
Not only that, the Dao Master's waist had also been slashed by the force of the punch, leaving two deep wounds.
Although the blood flowing from the wound evaporates quickly and dissipates as blood vapor, it does not mean that the injury is minor.
The most troublesome thing is that he has to face not only Xiong Pi, the Warden, but also two strong figures dressed as Section Chief, standing at the prison gate and on both sides.
One of them was the Heide, Sector Chief, whom Lu Bai was quite familiar with.
Perhaps their strength is not as great as Warden Xiong Pi's, but being able to become Section Chief is not a weak position among Grandmaster.
With three such powerful Grandmaster martial artists in charge, the Dao Master's situation was visibly difficult.
As for Dao Master's helpers?
Behind Heide, Sector Chief lay a jumble of the Dao Sect disciples, their fates unknown.
Clearly, these martial artists at the innate and acquired levels can only cause a little trouble in front of Grandmaster martial artists.
The top of the Monitoring Room.
Lu Bai sat on the edge of the building with his legs dangling in the air, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the railing.
Frankly speaking, he felt he owed Dao Master nothing more than a Body Tempering Method in exchange for rescuing Dao Zhengmu, exceeding his expectations.
So he came to watch the battle more to see what these martial arts experts were all about, and not to help anyone.
