Mingyu and Yu Yan are hanging in mid-air at the edge of the yard, and the two Spirit God are also absorbing the Soul Force spread out by the magic array. The ink-colored bodies of Mingyu are more solid than before, and the gloss on the edges flows more steadily.
The pale golden flames all over Yu Yan are also a bit brighter than before, and the sparks caused by the long hair are denser.
The strength of the two Spirit God has recovered somewhat. Although they are still only Legendary Rank 2-Star, they are much stronger than when they first came out of Dark Forest.
Nie Li put away all ten Space Ring. The lightning on the top of the stone pillar slowly dimmed. Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword returned to its normal appearance. The lightning patterns on the sword lay quietly.
The lines of the magic circle dimmed, and the light in the courtyard returned to normal night light. He turned around, faced everyone, and said, "That's it for today. Let's go back and consolidate our cultivation."
People stood up from the magic circle one after another, flexing their shoulders, stretching their waists, and rubbing their legs. The yard became lively for a while.
Lu Piao's legs were numb when he stood up and he limped two steps. Xiao Xue helped him up and said mercilessly, "If you don't practice more, you will be numb after sitting for a while." Lu Piao chuckled and did not answer.
Duan Jian stood up from the outside of the magic circle, walked to Nie Li, and called out, "Master."
Nie Li interrupted him and said in a calm tone, "I know what you are going to say. You can indeed do revenge. Your strength is not inferior to Sikong Yi, so go ahead."
Duan Jian did not move immediately. He stood there and looked at Nie Li for a moment, then nodded.
Nie Li turned to look at Shen Fei: "Do you want to go too?"
Shen Fei thought for a while and nodded.
Xiao Ning'er saw Shen Fei nodding and thought of Sikong Hongyue. He reached out and tugged on the corner of Shen Fei's clothes and said, "I'll go too."
Nie Li glanced at her, then at Shen Fei, and nodded. "Okay, let's go there. We won't interfere and let Duan Jian solve it on his own. The others will go back to consolidate their cultivation, especially Lu Piao." He glanced at Lu Piao and said, "Don't be lazy."
Lu Piao touched his head and said, "I know, I know."
Xiao Xue hugged Lu Piao's arm, pinched Lu Piao in his hand and said, "You should be punished for being lazy."
Lu Piao felt pain and kept saying, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it's wrong, it's wrong."
Everyone laughed. Lu Piao and Xiao Xue took the first step, followed by Du Ze and Ye Ziyun and left the yard.
Mingyu and Yu Yan did not return to the screen. The two Spirit God floated under the old Chinese Locust Tree in the corner of the yard and hung quietly, probably waiting for Nie Li and the others to come back.
Nie Li pulled Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword out of the stone pillar and put it back into Space Ring. He checked the grooves on the stone pillar again and confirmed that there was no damage before calling Shen Fei, Xiao Ning'er and Duan Jian to go out.
The four people came out of the City Lord's Mansion Back Courtyard, walked out along the corridor, and met outside the side door.
Nie Li took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it to find twelve Light Key. Each one was the size of a palm, completely transparent, with a ball of pale golden light sealed inside.
The sky of Black Prison World is always that lifeless gray-brown layer, while Radiance Stone is embedded in the dome, emitting even and indifferent light.
In the square in the center of the Silver Wing Family territory, rainwater mixed with dark red mud and flowed downwards along the gaps in the stone slabs.
When Thirteen Families's family head and accompanying Clan Member were led to the center of the square by the Silver Wing Family's guards, the surrounding guard towers and corridors were already filled with Silver Wing soldiers wearing armor and holding swords. Everyone could see that the atmosphere was wrong.
The head of the Divine Flame Family, Li Xiao, walked in the front. He was wearing a dark red outfit, his cuffs were tightly tied, and he had a short knife slung around his waist. He walked quickly and steadily.
Half a step behind him was Mo Ya, the head of the Azure Wolf Family's family.
Mo Ya is wearing a Gray Wolf leather cloak. He has a lean figure and high cheekbones. There is no warmth in his narrow eyes. When his eyes sweep over the Silver Wing guards around the square, the corners of his mouth always have a downward arc.
Sikong Yi was sitting on a temporary high platform set up on the north side of the square. He was wrapped in a large dark silver brocade robe, and the hem of the robe was spread on the chair, covering most of his bloated figure.
His complexion was worse than when Nie Li left a few months ago. There was an abnormal layer of gray under his skin, and his eye sockets were sunken deeply, but the light in those eyes was brighter than ever before, and it was a bit piercingly bright.
Sikong Hongyue stood half a step behind him, wearing light silver armor and a sword at his waist. His long hair was tied tightly and his face showed no expression. He just kept his gaze on the side of his father's face, and his fingers unconsciously closed and unclenched on the hilt of the sword.
Li Xiao walked to the bottom of the high platform, stopped, and raised his head. He did not salute, and his voice was not loud, but everyone in the square could hear clearly. "Sikong Yi, what's your plan for asking us to come?"
Mo Ya stood next to him, saying nothing, but pushing back the hood of his cloak, revealing his thin face, his gaze heavy on the high platform.
Sikong Yi didn't answer immediately. He stood up slowly while holding on to the handrail, his movements were a little sluggish, and he made a slight sound when his knees straightened up.
He took two steps forward and stood on the edge of the high platform, looking down at the two heads of family in the square and the tense-looking entourage behind them Clan Member.
"You two have always been dissatisfied with me." Sikong Yi's voice was hoarse, with a unique dryness after a long-term illness, but every word was pronounced clearly, "Silver Wing, Divine Flame, Azure Wolf, three families stand side by side. They have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and I am tired of it. Now if I have anything to say, I will speak up."
He paused for a moment, looking from Li Xiao's face to Mo Ya's face, and back again.
"Black Prison World's living environment is getting worse and worse. Scarlet Blood Crystal's mineral veins are drying up, and the Red Ghost Tide in the periphery is becoming more ferocious year by year, and the harvests of each family are declining. We Thirteen Families continues to work independently and consume each other, no one can survive for long. A new Alliance Leader should be elected and take everyone away from Black Prison World and go outside."
The square was quiet for a moment. Li Xiao's brows wrinkled, and Mo Ya's fingers tightened on the edge of the cloak.
"Leave Black Prison?" Li Xiao repeated these words with undisguised doubt in his tone, "Since our ancestors escaped into this underground world, Thirteen Families has been trapped here for thousands of years. Teleportation Array has been lost for a long time, and no one knows where the exit is. Why do you want to leave?"
