1059: The Rescue Operation

The Rescue Operation

"We can make a deal," Sister Yu said as she preserved her composure.

Then Su Yu interrupted her. "You can only make a decision between life and death now. Don't doubt the determination of the Red Blood Palace in killing people from the Heavenly Knife Region!"

Hearing this, Sister Yu trembled a bit. After some mental struggle, she said bitterly, "I know where they are. However, they are guarded by many experts. I am not able to save them! Moreover, if I tell you the place where they are imprisoned, our master will also kill us. Anyway, we will die. We prefer to die by your hand now. Maybe the Region Master will reward our family members because of our sacrifice!"

Su Yu was surprised by her words. In turbulent days, lowly servants were not able to decide their fate and could only sail with the stream.

Puff…

Su Yu raised his finger. The eight assassins in black robes were killed at the same time. Then, their corpses were burnt to ashes.

"Now, except for us, there is nobody in this area. Remember, these assassins were killed by a demon who passed by!" Su Yu said coldly.

Sister Yu was terrified. This man's voice sounded so young. However, he was so ruthless that he could kill people as if he were clearing weeds!

However, Sister Yu changed her mind when those assassins were killed.

She knew all those who knew of the arrival of a Red Blood Palace's agent had been killed except for her and Xiao Ling. Therefore, she would have nothing to do with the rescue of those secret agents.

"They are being imprisoned in the prison at the center of this city, which is guarded by three Level Nine Divine Masters, 28 Level Eight Divine Masters and over a hundred Level Five Divine Masters. This is the map of the prison. They are locked in this area. That's all I know!" Sister Yu told everything she knew to Su Yu.

Xiao Ling also said outright what she knew. Through comparison of their testimonies, Su Yu knew they didn't lie.

After nodding, Su Yu waved his hand to knock the two women unconscious.

The prison of the Heavenly Knife City.

The prison was divided into ten areas. Different prisoners were locked in different areas.

The third area wasa vital part of this prison because it was used to house important criminals who could endanger the region.

Apparently, the intelligence agents of the Red Blood Palace were locked in this area.

"Heh! Heh! Did you see that? Among those newly captured agents of the Red Blood Palace, there are several attractive women! Wow! They are so hot!" At the entrance of the third area, two Level Nine Divine Masters were sitting with their legs crossed. The drunken old man on the left spoke a flirting smile.

"Especially the one whose name is Xue Lian… Tsk! She is really a woman of extraordinary beauty! Her waist, her bosom, her face...Tsk! Tsk! I can hardly contain myself!"

The other Level Nine Divine Master, who was sitting beside the drunken old man, said calmly, "I didn't expect you would still struggle with this at such a level! Tell me, how did you reach your current level?"

"Heh! Heh! The path I choose in my training is being carefree! I realized rapid progress in my training by following my heart!" The drunken old man said with a playful smile.

The other Level Nine Divine Master sitting beside him said, shaking his head, "That woman has been 'reserved' by the owner of the area. Nobody else can touch her!"

Hearing this, the drunken old man became a little sober. Then, he said with an embarrassed smile, "You know I am just talking! Forget it! When they become useless for the big shots, they will fall in my hand sooner or later. At that time, I can do anything I want!"

"Just stay alert! We are dispatched here to guard these prisoners on orders of the four supervisors, which means they attach great importance to these newly-captured secret agents!" The Level Nine Divine Master beside the old man said cautiously.

The drunken old man sobered up. Then, he sat up and became very vigilant.

As experienced guards in this prison, they knew why they were sent here to guard those prisoners personally.

In prison.

Ten cages made from Mystic Crystal Demonic Iron were placed on the ground. These cages were so strong that it was impossible to open them with all kinds of magical power, including the strength of All Creations!

One man or woman was hung in each cage respectively. All of them were severely wounded. Two of them were at their last gasp because of the cruel torture they received.

An attractive woman was hung in the innermost cage. Her attractive figure was the dream of any man.

Her white skin, delicate facial features, and coquettish expression made her a lethal temptation.

Clang!

The sound of dragging shackles on the ground was echoing in the prison.

Hearing this, all those who were locked in the cages trembled a bit.

Some of them turned to look at the pitch-dark entrance and their eyes were full of terror.

He was here again!

Ghost Face was coming. He was the most fearsome jailer in this prison.

He was good at all kinds of cruel torture that could suspend people between life and death.

It seemed Ghost Face enjoyed the miserable screams of the tortured prisoners very much.

Everyone in the Heavenly Knife Region knew the name of Ghost Face.

For people in this region, he was a nightmare.

Those who were thrown into the prison of the Heavenly Knife City would plead for a quick death even if they were only charged with a misdemeanor.

They knew they would have to face endless suffering once they fell into the hands of Ghost Face.

Ghost Face had cruelly tortured the people who were locked in the cages for several days.

Two of them had been tortured for three days and three nights. Therefore, they were so feeble at this moment.

At this time, their most frequent supplication was not for mercy but for death!

"What the hell do you want? We will tell you everything you want to know!" Some of them, who were suffering from a mental breakdown, decided to confess everything without delay.

However, nobody asked them even one question since they were thrown into this prison.

Ghost Face, who indulged in torturing them, never interrogated them.

"Save your strength! We are valuable to them because they could use us to lure the remaining secret agents who haven't been captured by them to the Heavenly Goddess Tower. Compared to that critical information we collected, the rest of what we know is not important at all! In order to stop the divulgence of that information, they will kill anyone who is related to us!"

Hearing this, someone cried out in despair. Someone asked for mercy!

They were more afraid of this endless torture than of death.

Among these people, only Xue Lian could stay calm. "When you received this assignment, you should have prepared for all possible consequences! Just stop your moaning! I guess you've made preparations for your death. If so, we can leave this world with no regrets!"

Suddenly, the image of an old man appeared in Xue Lian's mind at this moment.

She really wanted to know how this Outer Sanctum Disciple fared after he left their faction.

It was quite funny that a money-grubber like that woman was could give all her property to him.

When the sound of the shackles approached, the horrible face of Ghost Face popped out from the darkness.

Ghost Face, who was a little man, wore the skull of bull over his face like a mask. People could only see his eyes and mouth.

It seemed that he was smiling sinisterly under that bull skull.0

He was carrying a box that was full of all kinds of horrible torture devices. The surface of the box was covered by black dried bloodstains.

When he walked into the prison cell, the room was filled with the smell of blood.

However, behind Ghost Face, a handsome young man in a fine long robe also walked into the prison cell, holding his hands behind his back casually.

His supple silvery hair, handsome face and fine clothes ran against the grain of this gruesome prison cell.

Subconsciously, all of them got a feeling that this young man was a celestial who descended from heaven.

Who was he? This question appeared in the mind of all the prisoners.

Then, they figured out this young man was ushered in by Ghost Face.

Apparently, this man must have a high status in the Heavenly Knife Region.

However, none of them had seen this young man before, although they had accumulated a lot of information about the Heavenly Knife Region in these years.

"Are you going to kill us?" A secret agent asked sadly.

Three days had passed. All secret agents who hadn't been captured before must have been arrested!

They were useless now.

The young man said nothing. Then, he walked toward Xue Lian quietly.

Xue Lian closed her eyes as she sighed in her heart. What was supposed to happen would happen eventually.

Maybe the rest of the secret agents could have a quick death.

However, she knew her death would be quite miserable.

Many people cast greedy eyes on her in the past three days.

All of them tried to force her, including jailers and the master of the third area.

Now, the young man also fixed his eyes on her.

"Just kill me! If you try to force me to my knees, stop your daydreaming!" Xue Lian said in disgust.

"Heh! Heh!" the young man replied with a faint smile. "Cabinet Master, long time no see! This is so embarrassing! Why do you abuse me when I try to save you?"

What?

Xue Lian opened her eyes and stared at Su Yu in surprise.

Hearing this, the rest of the secret agents were startled. Then, they looked at Su Yu and Ghost Face in disbelief.

At this moment, they saw the drifting eyes of Ghost Face. Apparently, he was being controlled.

Instantly, all of them were overwhelmed by wild joy.

"Are you an apprentice of our faction?" Those secret agents asked in pleasant surprise.

"Could you find the key to release us from the cages?"

...

"Shut up!" Xue Lian scolded coldly. "Have you lost your mind? Have you met this guy before? A stranger said he would save you. And you just believe what he said, right?"

Hearing this, the other secret agents became speechless.

The long-lasting terror had muddled their mind.

This person might be sent by the Heavenly Knife Region rulers. He pretended to save them in order to capture those who hadn't been arrested yet.

"Heh! Heh! Cabinet Master, don't you remember me? I came here to save you. This is so disappointing!" The young man said.

His words puzzled the secret agents. It seemed they know each other!

Being stared at by so many eyes, Xue Lian said angrily, "I don't know him!"

She tried to search her memory for such a handsome young man.

"Hey! How could you forget the time we spent in that room together? You used to get jealous and attack another woman brutally because of me!" The young man said thoughtfully.

Huh?

The other secret agents were flabbergasted as they looked at Xue Lian with puzzlement.

Knowing Xue Lian's coquettish style, they believed she would fall in love with such a handsome and powerful young man who was also very attractive. A lonely woman like Xue Lian would never resist this temptation!

Therefore, all of them believed the words of the young man.

Xue Lian blushed when they stared at her. She retorted angrily, "Nonsense! I have never had anything to do with this man!"

"Your words really break my heart... Alas! Don't you remember our love-promise kiss?" The young man sighed.

The kiss...

"Xue Lian, what's wrong with you? This man came here to save us! Why do you try to stop him? Do you try to pretend that you don't know him so that you can prevent us from knowing the relationship between you two?"

"Cabinet Master Xue Lian, all of us are in great danger. Please don't be childish!"

Xue Lian shouted as she trembled with anger, "I don't know him! I can swear that on my honor!"

Hearing this, the other secret agents continued to stare at her disdainfully.

Her honor meant nothing to them.

"Hah! Hah!" the young man laughed loudly as his form was changing slowly.
