After a while, the pill that Lu Li distributed was showing its effects. Under the surprised shouts of many people, the injured people also quickly recovered.
"Senior, please wait!"
Just as everyone was rejoicing, Wen Ying looked to the side and noticed that Lu Li was about to leave, and immediately asked him to stay.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Li turned his head and said indifferently.
Wen Ying pursed his lips, muttered to himself for a moment, and then gathered his courage to say: "Senior, are you willing to follow my daughter back to the City Lord's Mansion? With your strength, you can definitely obtain an official position in the City Lord's Mansion, and even become a high ranking official! "
"No need, I was just passing by, after taking care of the horses, I left the Jade Zither City. Young miss, thank you for your kind intentions." Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, how could he not see that the girl had a high position in the City Lord's Mansion? It was obvious that this girl wanted to recruit him.
Hearing Lu Li's rejection, Wen Ying wanted to persuade him against it, but his eyes twitched, and the topic of conversation suddenly changed: "I presume, Senior is the person who saved the citizens of Longmen Town that day?"
Hearing that, Lu Li frowned.
"Girl, if I were you, I would never say something like that. How can you be sure of my identity? How can I be sure that I won't kill you? " Lu Li's expression suddenly turned cold, he raised the silver moon sword in his hand and aimed straight for the center of Wen Ying's brows!
"Senior is not that kind of person." Seeing that, Wen Ying did not dodge at all, with both of his hands behind his back, he smiled sweetly: "If senior was truly so ruthless, Wen Ying would have long been dead by now."
Hearing this reply, Lu Li laughed: "Young lady, you are interesting. Speak, what are you trying to tell me."
"What I want to say is that if senior wants to find trouble with that Ma Gang, it will be extremely difficult to charge through by himself. Moreover, even senior will not find the real location of the Ma Gang leader that easily." Wen Ying squinted his eyes and laughed.
"Does that mean you know where he is?" Lu Li laughed with interest.
"My daughter doesn't know, but there are people who do. However, I will have to inconvenience senior for a while." Wen Ying tiptoed on his feet, leaned close to Lu Li and whispered a few words into his ear, and only after that did he return to his original position. Senior, are you willing to consider it? "
Lu Li scratched his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded: "I'll do as you say."
At the outskirts of the Jade Zither City, the Iron Prison.
In the cold cell, a ragged man was imprisoned. The huge metal chain directly pierced through his shoulder blades, rendering him unable to move his arms.
Outside the cell door, two jailers were chatting with each other.
"Hey, have you heard? The leader of the Ma Clan, that Jin Tao, had actually sent a message saying that he was here to take the jailbreak! "
"Can't be? That Jin Tao has always been unpredictable, how could he possibly do something so brazen? "
"It's hard to say, but it's his little brother who's being locked up. Our Warden gave the order personally, and this Black Iron Prison is surrounded by layers upon layers of people. I heard that he even invited Miss Wen Ying's master!"
"That person … Is he a spirit pond expert? Could it be that someone is really trying to escape? "
"Shh …" "Lower your voice."
One of them noticed that his companion's voice had become a bit louder, so he quickly tidied himself up and cast a glance at the man in the cell.
"Stop eavesdropping! "If you don't behave, I'll skin you alive!"
The guard picked up a bowl from the table and smashed it towards the door. The porcelain bowl shattered and several pieces flew into the cell, almost slicing the prisoner's face.
"Whose skin are you going to skin?"
Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out. Before the two jailers could react, a black mist drifted past and a figure wrapped in a pitch-black robe suddenly appeared. With a flash of sword light, the two jailers immediately groaned in pain, not even letting out a cry.
"Are you Jin Xian?"
Outside the cell door, Lu Li said while lifting up the bamboo hat that covered his head.
"You are?"
The prisoner raised his head, continuing to look around with a puzzled expression on his face.
"The person who came to save you." Lu Li said calmly, after that he took down the key from the jailer's waist and opened the door, "Come with me, you can't die here."
"Are you a brother of the Ma Gang, or a friend of the underworld?" Jin Xian who was locked in place by the iron chains looked at Lu Li, and after sensing his cultivation level, he asked while rolling his eyes.
"I'm a bad guy with a bad heart." Lu Li laughed, then took out a City Lord's Mansion badge from his chest pocket and threw it to the side, "I saved your life, you recommended me to enter the Ma Clan, do you think this deal is reasonable?"
"You want to betray your City Lord's Mansion?" Seeing the order badge in Lu Li's hands, Jin Xian could not help but sneer: "You want to take this opportunity to get into the Ma Clan? Do you think you're being naive? "
"Innocent? "It's fine." Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, "I was the one who sent the news of the prison robbery. With the current defensive level of the prison, even if your big brother really called, he might not be able to return alive. The only person who can take you out is me. "
Jin Xian coldly snorted. "So what? I'm not going to believe you. "
"That's true. I'm sure you won't believe me." Saying that, Lu Li squinted his eyes and laughed, after that, another black order badge appeared in his palm.
"Do you know him?"
As soon as he said that, Lu Li's eyes suddenly turned to look at Jin Xian. Within his eyes, it was as if there was a flash of white light.
"What bullsh * t …" "Ugh!" His gaze was fixated on the ring, and just as Jin Xian was about to speak, the words that he was about to say stopped in his mouth.
"This is …" The Order Badge of the Ma Gang Assassin, did you come to kill me? " Jin Xian seemed to have gone insane as he roared. Accompanying his intense struggle, the chains behind him also produced a series of whooshing sounds.
"Perhaps, to give you a piece of advice, you'd better believe me, in every sense." Lu Li squinted his eyes and kept his palm, pulling out the storage ring to get Jin Xian's attention, and a calm smile appeared on his face.
"What if I don't?" Jin Xian gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Then we can only let you down."
As he spoke, Lu Li moved closer to Jin Xian, extended a finger, and a small cluster of white flames jumped out.
Even though the Fire Spiritual Energy in Lu Li's body had already been completely replaced by the Aurora Spirit Qi, whether it was the Aurora Spirit Qi or the Yin Spirit Qi, in Lu Li's hands, he was still maintaining the posture of a flame. In other words, it had become a kind of mutated flame.
The temperature of this Aurora Flame was extremely high. Just the fingertip size alone was enough to burn the metal chain until it was completely red!
Ah!
The iron chain that was used to connect Jin Xian's shoulder blades immediately forced the terrifying high temperature onto his body.
But what use was that … He was well aware that he was a prisoner on death row, and this place was originally a torture chamber. No matter how he screamed, no one would care.
"Last chance, come with me. I can at least give an explanation to the Ma Gang. Of course, I don't mind taking your life and then leaving." Withdrawing his finger, Lu Li's warm expression completely disappeared, only leaving behind his ice-cold eyes.
"Good …" I'll go, I'll go with you! "
Panting heavily, that Jin Xian also instantly submitted to him as his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
Hearing that, Lu Li sneered, opened the chain that was locking Jin Xian, threw a set of prison guard clothing on the ground, turned and walked out. Jin Xian also changed into a set of clothes quickly, enduring the pain all over his body as he followed her.
Along the way, Jin Xian saw that the prison was indeed guarded on all sides. However, under Zhou Tong's lead, no one came up to question them, so he just let the two swaggered out of the dungeon.
"Don't look around. If you reveal your identity, you and I will both be finished."
Jin Xian looked around, and Lu Li immediately sent a sound transmission to him. Hearing him, Jin Xian immediately lowered his head, and followed behind Lu Li slowly.
No one came forward to stop him even when he entered the outer court of the prison. However, just as Jin Xian was about to heave a long sigh of relief, a voice rang out.
"Little friend Lu Li, where are you bringing people to?"
Hearing this, the two of them immediately stopped in their tracks. Their gazes both landed on the pavilion next to the courtyard door. Among them, there was an old man with a transcendent aura leaning against a rattan chair, gently fanning himself with a fan in his hand.
"Senior, please wait!"
Just as everyone was rejoicing, Wen Ying looked to the side and noticed that Lu Li was about to leave, and immediately asked him to stay.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Li turned his head and said indifferently.
Wen Ying pursed his lips, muttered to himself for a moment, and then gathered his courage to say: "Senior, are you willing to follow my daughter back to the City Lord's Mansion?
