Shan Baiyi is now at his wits’ end, his supply of elixirs long depleted. As for those spiritual artifacts, magical items, and even his prized arrays, most of them were destroyed in the great battle years ago.

The things he has left are not conventional magical or spiritual artifacts. How could such items possibly contend with the elite soldiers of the Shenxiao Dao Sect?

"Very well! We still have one condition!"

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction, finally raising one last demand.

"What is it?"

Shan Baiyi was a bit bewildered. What else could he do for Li Yunjing and his group now?

"You don’t have a Myriad Li Communication Talisman?"

Li Yunjing asked.

"I do!"

Shan Baiyi couldn’t understand. He was puzzled and said, "The Myriad Li Communication Talisman is useless here. The distance to the Northern Emperor Sect is too great. Moreover, the restrictions were set here when this dungeon was constructed to block information transmission."

Shan Baiyi didn’t understand Li Yunjing’s intention and thought it was a question about why he hadn’t sought help over the years.

"Hmm!"

Li Yunjing nodded nonchalantly. Did Shan Baiyi think he didn’t know that?

If Shan Baiyi could have sought reinforcements, he wouldn’t have been imprisoned for three hundred years.

"Recently, we’ve been pursued by an old monster at the Golden Core Realm!"

Li Yunjing fixed his eyes on Shan Baiyi and said icily.

"This..."

Shan Baiyi was taken aback. He didn’t expect Li Yunjing and his group to have such significant troubles too!

"We’ll explore the depths of the dungeon to see if there’s any way to deal with this person. After we rescue you, hide in the city without exposing your presence. Wait for us to engage that Golden Core Realm cultivator. Take this opportunity to quickly return and have your Northern Emperor Sect notify our sect!"

Li Yunjing finally presented his request and added, "As long as you relay the message, I can guarantee we will get you an elixir to extend your lifespan!"

"Alright! I understand!"

Hearing Li Yunjing’s conditions, Shan Baiyi’s heart was stirred.

If it were any other condition, he might not care much, but extending his lifespan was different.

Nobody wants to die!

Being able to live for a few more decades is still something. With an elixir that extends life, he might live another fifty years!

For a mortal who is robust and healthy, living for a hundred years is significant. Another fifty years isn’t insignificant!

In those fifty years, he might marry, have children, and start a family?

Though his own life is in ruins!

During this last phase of his life, if he could have more children, maybe he could have children with Spirit Roots; while he is still alive, he could send them to the Northern Emperor Sect for training.

Perhaps, his dream of cultivation could be realized through his descendants?

Thinking of this, Shan Baiyi’s heart surged with emotion, and a sliver of joy even appeared on his face. He found a new purpose in life.

Seeing Shan Baiyi’s expression, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao exchanged glances, knowing he had agreed. For Li Yunjing and his group, this was definitely a good opportunity.

What Old Man Xu said about the Xu Clan’s seal being able to deal with Golden Core Realm cultivators, limited by Old Man Xu’s mortal identity, was something they didn’t quite believe.

But with Shan Baiyi, it was different.

Li Yunjing’s group could entirely engage Zhao Yibai in a prolonged battle, buying enough time for Shan Baiyi to fetch reinforcements!

Shan Baiyi’s cultivation was at Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven, which definitely was not a common status in the Northern Emperor Sect. Such a person could access higher levels and perhaps without notifying the Shenxiao Dao Sect, could invite a Golden Core Realm expert from the Northern Emperor Sect.

If that happens, the danger Li Yunjing and his group faced would be resolved.

Once Zhao Yibai’s identity was exposed, he would have no place to hide. He wouldn’t have the capability to kill a Golden Core Realm expert from the Northern Emperor Sect to silence them.

If he can’t kill anyone, Zhao Yibai’s only option is to flee!

He must escape the Great Ming Dynasty before the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s arrest warrants start. Otherwise, his fate will be an exciting, albeit unpleasant, Chapter in his life.

How long this Chapter lasts would depend on Zhao Yibai’s luck.

"Let’s do it!"

After the agreement, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao immediately took action, their mana attempting to tear apart the Profound Iron bars of the cage.

"Clang!"

As soon as Li Yunjing and his group started, the iron bars emitted billowing black smoke, sharp wailing sounds came from within, and it conjured demons that swarmed towards them.

"Divine Thunder Punishes Evil!"

Li Yunjing sneered, his palm condensed mana, "Boom!" A thunderbolt struck an iron bar, "Crack!" breaking it in two.

But before Shan Baiyi could escape, the remaining iron bars transformed into a Nether Beast, pouncing at Li Yunjing and his group.

"Boom!"

This time, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao joined Li Yunjing’s attacks, all wielding top-tier Thunder Skills.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect’s Thunder Skills were most potent, particularly effective against such evil entities.

Especially Li Yunjing, whose Thunder Skill power far exceeded that of a Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven cultivator!

His strike could annihilate numerous malevolent beings. The Nether Beast, having roared twice, was then reduced to ashes.

Without the Demonic Qi clinging to the iron bars, the small cage could no longer confine Shan Baiyi.

"I’m finally free!"

Regaining his freedom, Shan Baiyi sighed incessantly. After calming his emotions, he said, "Over the years, I’ve studied the Demonic Qi here and made some guesses."

"This place seems to be the Supreme Demon Country of an eight-hundred-year-old Demon Dao giant, the Netherworld Great Saint!"

"Later, this person was slain by a righteous Immortal Swordsman, who used the Demon Suppression Seal to contain the Demonic Qi and some Demon Treasures. This is the information I deduced based on the history here."

Having been saved by Li Yunjing, Shan Baiyi squeezed out some useful information.

"Heh..."

Li Yunjing chuckled helplessly. These old foxes were all incredibly cunning. Without showing the rabbit, they wouldn’t release the hawk, never divulging critical information until he was rescued!

If he were a treacherous scoundrel who killed Shan Baiyi afterward, wouldn’t he be left ignorant of this critical information?

Though this information dated back eight hundred years, its value was significant. Knowing the opposing party’s origins would allow them to deduce the methods of the Netherworld Great Saint and the Immortal Swordsman!

With this, it would greatly assist in breaking the seals and controlling the Demon Artifacts within.

Regarding this treasure, Li Yunjing and his group were very curious. For someone from eight hundred years ago to dare establish a demon country in the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s territory, it showed the strength of the Netherworld Great Saint.

And the Immortal Swordsman, with just one sword, could overthrow the Supreme Demon Country and kill the Netherworld Great Saint. What could his background be?

However, given the title of "Immortal Sword," he must have been an unparalleled Sword Immortal of that era, a first-class peerless figure!

Concerning this, Li Yunjing’s curiosity grew, and he was determined to acquire the artifacts left by these two tonight!

"Daoist Shan, is there anything else you want to say?"

Li Yunjing continued to ask.

"Nothing more! This is everything I know." Shan Baiyi smiled, knowing he might have seemed untrustworthy.

However, this was only human nature. Who could know Li Yunjing’s true intentions? If he had revealed everything earlier and was then silenced, wouldn’t it have been unjust?

This old fox of the Immortal Dao wouldn’t make such a mistake.

"Very well! Daoist Shan, as agreed, you may leave. Be careful to hide well. Once we start the fight here, seize the opportunity to leave!"

Li Yunjing gave one last reminder.
