#855 - Chapter 855 Discovering the Secret

The further inside they went, the louder the sounds became, until, upon reaching the entrance, it was as if thunder was booming in their ears.

"You bastards, what do you want from us, dragging us here? We are citizens of the Meizu!"

"Sir, please let me go home. My eighty-year-old mother is sick at home, and I'm really worried about her!"

"Help! Is there no one who will come and deal with this conscienceless leader!"

......

Various voices surged at once. Inside the black Xuan iron-forged prison, were confined men and women with delicate and pretty appearances. Some were forcefully ramming the cages imprisoning them, while others sat on the ground, indifferent to everything, looking as if their hearts were dead.

When the guards saw who had arrived, pairs of eyes filled with murderous intent and resentment swept over them. The two leading guard captains, however, were used to it. "Quiet down, or you'll suffer!"

Everyone fell silent because on the execution platform not far away, a Meizu person on the verge of death was tightly bound, their entire body beaten beyond recognition by iron whips.

This was a warning. The people in the cages dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

Because these conscienceless people really would do it, even though everyone was of the same race, even if the other party was an ordinary person without the strength to truss a chicken.

Xiao Qing and the other two had already found the specific location of the prison. Next, was figuring out how to release so many people.

Ye Xiaoyao gave Xiao Qing a look. Following Ye Xiaoyao's gaze, Xiao Qing saw the two guard captains in front, cursing and muttering, with several keys hanging on their buttocks.

"The big shots from other worlds want more people. This amount isn't enough to go around."

"Yes."

"Capture fifty more people within two days, otherwise, you people will be used to make up the numbers!"

The guard captain threw down these words fiercely, then swaggered away.

The shivering guards were left behind, and several mocking voices came from the cages.

"You black hands, do you think you can escape unscathed by working for this kind of person?"

"Sooner or later, you will be like us, just wait and see!"

Xiao Qing and the others followed the guard team, leaving the underground prison, ignoring the mocking voices coming from the cages.

But everyone's heart felt like a heavy stone was pressing down, the atmosphere was terribly oppressive.

Xiao Qing gently pinched her fingers, and the shapeshifting technique transformed her into a Meizu man, with a body and voice just like a real Meizu person.

"If you ask me, brothers, where can we go to grab people?" Xiao Qing spoke, breaking the deathly silence.

"We have no other choice, let's just listen to the boss."

"There are no more people to grab in the villages within a hundred kilometers. If we continue to grab people, even if our Meizu doesn't have external enemies, we will completely lose our elderly due to the loss of young people, and there will be no descendants."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing confusion and helplessness.

"Why don't we organize and have the leader offer these young people to the bad guys from other worlds!"

Xiao Qing's words were full of righteousness and determination. She wanted to instigate these guards, which was not difficult for her.

The former Qingqiu Empress still had the strength to "bewitch people's hearts."

"This ......"

Just as the others hesitated, Ye Xiaoyao and Ye Qingjun resolutely walked over and stood beside Xiao Qing, "This brother is right, I support it!"

"But how to stop it is a big problem. The leader has a magic weapon from another world in his hands, which is said to be very powerful and invincible."

A middle-aged man shook his head and said dejectedly, "You children are still daydreaming."

"Are the people in the cages also transported over there by the leader through the magic weapon?" Xiao Qing asked.

The middle-aged man nodded and continued to speak.

"The magic weapon is kept by the leader in his dantian. We can't get it. The palace is heavily guarded, and the leader's cultivation is above ours."

"Do you think the four people from the cultivation world might bring a turning point?" A voice suddenly emerged from the crowd. It was Ye Xiaoyao who spoke.

Everyone fell silent, but Xiao Qing smiled and said, "I can go and try my luck. If there is good news, I will definitely bring it to everyone."

"Good, this brother is too good," the middle-aged man praised.

The worries on everyone's faces were swept away a little, and there seemed to be a little hope in their hearts.

Xiao Qing keenly noticed that this middle-aged man, who looked kind and enthusiastic, seemed to always have a hint of evil in his eyes.

This was her instinct as a fox. In Qingqiu, there were countless animals stronger than foxes, but why could foxes become emperors? Besides the cunning and treachery that others spoke of, there were naturally other reasons.

Sure enough, after everyone dispersed, the middle-aged man went to a corner and quietly returned, entering a side hall.

Xiao Qing concealed her aura and followed behind.

Ye Xiaoyao and Ye Qingjun went to find Xiaobai to inform him of everything in the dungeon.

"Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~" After three rhythmic sounds, the door creaked open.

After the middle-aged man went in, he called out urgently, "Boss, Boss."

"You dog thing, what's the rush?" the other party scolded irritably.

"As the boss predicted, those little guard soldiers have thoughts of rebellion."

"Hahaha ......" A burst of the guard captain's sneer came from the room.

"Humph, as I said, these little cubs can't hold it in anymore. Well, it saves me the trouble of trying my best to grab people."

"Once they rebel, I can rightfully send them to the cage when I seize the handle."

"When this batch of people is gathered, the other world should fulfill its promise. At that time, the leader will be able to take us back to live in the sun."

"High ~ The boss is really high!" The middle-aged man flattered from the side.

"Alright, get out quickly, continue to keep an eye on them, and come back to report any news," the guard captain said contemptuously.

"Yes," the middle-aged man bowed and hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Qing couldn't help but frown. So that was the plan. After rolling her eyes, she quickly went to find Xiaobai.

Xiaobai was drinking flower wine with Yan Pu in the main hall, looking like they were birds of a feather.

Suddenly, Ye Xiaoyao's voice appeared in his ear: "Senior Brother Xiaobai, Yan Pu has a magic weapon from another world in his dantian. He uses the magic weapon to communicate with the other world, which is said to be quite powerful."

Oh, so that's how it is. Now that these questions were understood, there was no need to pretend anymore.

Before leaving Xiaoyao Peak, the master told the disciples that solving problems did not necessarily require crushing with strength. Sometimes, appropriately following local rules could achieve the effect of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds.

"Four ounces move a thousand pounds?" We haven't heard of this term," the others shook their heads.
