Night fell quietly. Although the mess from before had been cleaned up, it was clear that the Cao Clan's business in the Sun Moon Empire was no longer viable.
Cao Yu was somewhat distressed by the loss of this revenue stream.
The group gathered together, discussing how to rescue those who had been taken away.
The old man brought over a table, placed a map on it, and said, "Most of the people arrested by the Law Enforcement Department are sent to the mines to work as laborers."
He pointed upwards, "This place is far from Sunrise City, in a mine on the northwestern outskirts. The materials used by the Sun Moon Empire to manufacture Soul Tool are all transported from here."
"The prisoners were responsible for mining and transporting these ores, which was not only hard work but also very dangerous. Due to landslides and crystal explosions, dozens of people would lose their lives almost every day."
Cao Yu asked, puzzled, " Uncle Fu, how do you know so much about this place?"
Could this be a spy left behind by the Sun Moon Empire?
Seemingly oblivious to his questioning, Uncle Fu calmly stated, "Back when Cao Tian and I first arrived in the Sun Moon Empire, we made our fortune by... touching corpses."
"Those captured laborers were often from wealthy families. When arrested, they would often tuck their treasure-laden Storage Soul Tool under their tongues or swallow them."
"Some of them were even found inside the anus... Ugh! Don't even mention it, it's so humiliating just thinking about it."
The Cao Clan in the original world had tomb raiders, and now they even have... corpse raiders. For a moment, Cao Yu didn't know what to say.
They're all birds of a feather!
Without lingering, Xu Tianshui led the group away.
After groping their way in the dark, they finally arrived at the mining area. This place was not under the jurisdiction of Sunrise City, and from the outside, they only saw a group of soldiers guarding it.
It's unclear whether there are any more powerful figures among them.
After putting on the invisibility cloak, Cao Yu asked Xu Tianshui, "Uncle, can you still see me?"
Xu Tianshui shook his head. He was quite curious about this strange method, but he didn't ask any further questions.
"Cannot."
Even Titled Douluo couldn't detect it, so he was finally relieved.
He infiltrated using an invisibility cloak, and the passing soldiers treated him as if he were invisible.
Finally, Cao Yu discovered several large prisons in a southwestern area. One of them held the people from the Cao Clan's branch offices. The servants of the Cao Clan all wore the same style of clothing, as did the branch offices, so these people were easy to recognize.
"There are only five Soul Douluo, one Titled Douluo, and about a dozen Level 7 Soul Engineer."
"There are about two hundred officers and soldiers, and the defenses are very tight!"
Moreover, Sunrise City is not far away, and it is estimated that reinforcements will arrive in about ten minutes.
They went back again, first having the Shadow Clone put on an invisibility cloak, and then using a Limit Douluo Experience Card.
With the help of the invisibility cloak, the Shadow Clone put the Immoral Dog into his clothes, making his upper body look bulging, which looked quite comical.
The next second they rushed into the mining area of the guarded forest.
His primary target was the strongest fighter inside, the Titled Douluo.
At this moment, all the high-ranking combatants were meditating cross-legged in their respective rooms.
Quietly, the Shadow Clone moved swiftly, taking down the Titled Douluo first, and then leaving none of the rest unscathed.
However, he didn't kill them. After temporarily stunning them, the Immoral Dog started putting away his... pets again.
"Humans... beloved, bow down and worship me, I will be your emperor!"
"..."
In no time at all, all these enemies fell at the feet of that Immoral Dog.
He looked at the Immoral Dog with a respectful expression.
The Immoral Dog said to them righteously, "Go and release those people in the jail. Your true masters need these people."
"Yes, sir!"
The leading Titled Douluo stepped out first, and soon they arrived at the prison in the southwest direction.
They only released the prisoners in the cell holding the Cao Clan, leaving the prisoners in other cells unattended, thus avoiding excessive suspicion from the officials and soldiers.
The surrounding officers and soldiers found it strange, but they didn't stop them. After all, these were their superiors, and what right did a lowly soldier have to question his superiors?
Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare; they could only conscientiously do their patrol duties.
In this way, these people were taken away from the mining area openly and legitimately.
Cao Yu turned to Xu Tianshui and said, "Uncle, you take them back to Star Luo City first. I have something to do behind you, hehe."
Xu Tianshui could only nod and say, " Little Yu, remember not to be so rowdy; going too far is not good."
Cao Yu grinned, "How could that be, Uncle? I look like a very honest person. Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."
Although Xu Tianshui was reluctant to believe it, he could only help him take these people away.
Neither the Shadow Clone nor the Immoral Dog remained.
Moreover, with the help of another Titled Douluo and several other Soul Douluo, it is estimated that these people will be able to return to Star Luo City soon.
It will probably take several days for the people in the mining area to react and report it, by which time the Sun Moon Empire will be too late.
After donning the invisibility cloak, Cao Yu returned to Sunrise City.
"Let's first visit the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Soul Tool Academy. If we still have time, we can also check out the Mingde Hall."
Thinking of his main Martial Soul, the Treasure-Felling Coin.
Cao Yu felt a surge of excitement. He planned to target their Storage Soul Tool and probably reap a lot of good stuff.
"Hehe! I'm getting a little excited, Sun Moon Empire, here I come!"
"If I don't turn this upside down and get a huge advantage for you, then I've come all this way for nothing."
Therefore, Cao Yu's first stop was the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Fortunately, he had the Sun Moon Empire's exclusive map; otherwise, given his terrible sense of direction, he really wouldn't have been able to find this place.
There's nothing we can do about it; this place is just too big.
Even walking feels like a struggle.
They rushed in through the window; the lights were still on, and the table was covered with equipment.
"Could this be a lab? It looks like one."
There were also many blueprints on the table, mostly design blueprints for level 5 or Level 6 Soul Tool, and none of them were offensive, so they didn't have much collectible value.
Cao Yu glanced at it only once before disdainfully looking away.
Immediately afterward, footsteps sounded outside the door. Cao Yu hurriedly put down what he was holding and hid in a corner without saying a word.
With a click, the door was pushed open from the outside, and two women with stunning figures strolled in.
"Hey! Ju Zi, let me tell you, that senior who just walked by was incredibly handsome, why didn't you talk to him?"
