Sure enough, they were all disciples of the dead Xuantian Cloud Palace.

In Li Mu's heart, a huge fog froze.

His previous guess was probably true.

But the question is, what kind of force can quietly replace a behemoth like Xuantian Cloud Palace, but the outside world has not noticed it in the slightest, and it will not leak the news for a hundred years, which is also terrifying.

At least Li Mu himself, he will definitely not be able to do it.

This is no longer something that can be achieved by relying solely on individual strength.

After some inspection, it can be determined that on the first floor of this huge mountainside space, in a total of one hundred steel door cells, all of them are imprisoned disciples of Xuantian Cloud Palace, with different identities and statuses, and their strength before death, and they are all dead, leaving only skeleton skeletons and some relics that can barely be identified.

In other words, at least six hundred or more Xuantian Cloud Palace disciples who had cultivated to the highest level died in the cells on the first floor, and judging from the corpses, they should have been starved to death without any injuries on their bodies.

Li Mu rubbed his temples.

He came to find Shen Xiaoyue, not to explore, nor to dig over some old accounts of martial arts, so although the changes in Xuantian Cloud Palace shocked him, he didn't have much desire to explore.

Still, you'll have to keep looking here.

Since the Xuantian Cloud Palace has been frozen by Li Daitao, the person who captured Shen Xiaoyue must not be from the Xuantian Cloud Palace.

But the Palace Master of the Mercy Flower Palace may not be lying.

Because everything that happened in the Xuantian Cloud Palace, the outside world didn't know about it at all, and the Mercy Flower Palace didn't know either, so in their channel, what the forces that replaced the Xuantian Cloud Palace did was regarded as the Xuantian Cloud Palace's doing.

In other words, there is a high probability that Shen Xiaoyue was indeed caught in the Xuantian Cloud Palace.

But where exactly?

"Master, come and see, it seems that there is a living creature here. ”

Shen Jia, who had climbed to the second floor of the mountain, suddenly shouted.

As soon as Li Mu's body moved, he arrived at Shen Jia's side in an instant.

"There's movement in there. Shen Jia pointed to the steel door numbered C78, and his expression was a little shocked.

Li Mu tried it with the token key in his hand, but he couldn't open the special steel lock on the door, so he simply threw away the key, grabbed the steel lock with both hands, and rubbed it hard, and the lock made of stainless steel was directly rubbed into steel shavings and fell.

Giving Shen Jia a cautious look, Li Mu slowly opened the steel door.

A very strange smell came to his face, the red smoke and dust turned into a demon's grimace, and pounced from behind the door, Li Mu opened his mouth and blew, and a dantian Xuan Qi directly blew away the treacherous red smoke and dust, and the illusion disappeared.

There is a passage about two meters deep behind the door.

The two of them entered, and when they came to the end, there was a stone chamber covering an area of about thirty square meters.

Half of the area of the stone chamber was a pool of blood, and the pool was tumbling with a strange red liquid, and the red smoke and dust that had been used before seemed to have evolved from this pool of blood.

On the stone wall of the roof above the blood pool, a pulley was fixed, hanging from two iron cables, hanging down and never entering the blood pool, while the other end was fixed to a winch on the side of the blood pool.

Shen Jia went over and turned the winch.

The ropes rusted and creaked strangely.

Bang la blah.

In a pool of blood, as the iron rope is raised.

The blood separated, and something was pulled out from under the water's surface.

It was a large jar shaped like porcelain, one meter high and half a meter wide, bound by iron cables, and the mouth of the jar was covered with an iron lid.

Li Mu was really curious to the extreme.

Everything I saw in the Xuantian Cloud Palace today was getting more and more strange and incredible.

He could feel that there was indeed movement in this jar.

There is not only movement, but also a very faint vitality.

Li Mu raised his hand and slashed out with a knife qi, cut off the iron cable, volleyed a mysterious qi, took the big jar, and landed on the ground of the stone chamber, making a sound of gold and iron resonating, splashing clusters of sparks, it turned out that this jar that seemed to be ceramic was clearly made of some kind of special metal, and it was extremely hard.

And if you look closely, you will find that the surface of this jar is full of fine and dense holes, and there is bright red liquid flowing out of the small air, presumably when it was soaked in the blood pool before.

Shen Jia walked over and lifted the lid.

He suddenly screamed as if he had seen something terrible, and his face changed.

Li Mu's face also changed.

Because what was in this jar turned out to be a person.

No, to be precise, it's a person.

The man who had his arms and legs cut off and was planted in a jar like a vegetable planter.

A chilling and terrifying feeling instantly spread all over Li Mu's body.

In his previous life, he had seen a lot of miserable scenes, but compared with the bloody and terrifying scene in front of him, it was still far inferior, and the person in front of him didn't know how long he had been soaked in the pool of blood, his face was already blurry, indistinguishable, and there was a little bit of vitality, motionless, as if a gust of wind blowing over could blow him to breathe.

"Before this person's death, he must have been a great master, extremely strong, no less than the Nine Realms, so he could be in this state and not die yet, but if he still has thoughts, he must definitely hope that he is an ordinary person and dies immediately, so as to be free from this perverted and terrifying torture. ”

Li Mu sighed in his heart.

Such torture is really terrible.

I just don't know, is the arrangement in this cell purely to torture this person, or is there some other purpose?

Li Mu tried to communicate with this person, but failed.

This person's spirit has completely collapsed, his consciousness has collapsed, and he has lost even the wisdom of an ordinary animal.

Only around the neck, wearing a collar, I don't know what material is made, there is not the slightest rust and decay, slightly shining with silver brilliance, in the middle is a peace buckle, engraved with the word 'Qingping', maybe his name?

In the stone cell, nothing else was found.

Li Mu thought about it, raised his hand and helped this person to get rid of it.

But something even more incredible had just unfolded in front of Li Mu and Shen Jia.

When they walked out of the cells and inspected the other seventy-nine steel-door cells on the C floor, they were shocked to find that in each cell, there was a similar arrangement, except that in some cells, the blood pool had dried up, and the large jar was either bones or rotting corpses, but in most of the cells, the blood pool was boiling, and the people still had a breath, but it was the same as the one called ' Qingping's people were the same, the spiritual world completely collapsed, like a born baby, unable to communicate at all, so Li Mu took action and helped them free them one by one.

What shocked Li Mu the most was that in the eighty cells of the entire C-Zi Zeng, there were a total of more than eighty people, all of whom were martial arts powerhouses who were no less than the Nine Realms during their lifetimes, and they all ended up in such a miserable end, what kind of person could concoct so many martial arts powerhouses at the same time?

Even if it was Xuantian Cloud Palace, in its heyday, there would not be so many Nine Realm powerhouses, and it would be impossible to concoct so many Nine Realm powerhouses at the same time...... The power behind this is extremely scary to think about.

Li Mu only felt that his scalp was numb.

"This is definitely not torture, but a specially built cell to achieve a certain purpose, so what is the purpose of making so many people, and the liquid in those pools?"

There was a sense of anger in Li Mu's heart, accumulating, boiling, and burning.

No matter what the purpose is, no matter what it is for, it is unacceptable to use such terrible, cruel and perverted means to persecute so many martial arts powerhouses, even if these people are all heinous evildoers.

"Master...... Is this hell?"

Shen Jia's voice trembled.

Although he was deep and calm, and had a sense of intelligence that his peers did not have, he was only a twelve-year-old boy after all, and he had never seen such a scene, and his body was trembling.

Li Mu said: "Don't think nonsense, silently recite the [Tiandao Town] mental mantra, concentrate your energy, and channel your Xuan Qi." ”

Shen Jia did so, and his face gradually improved.

But everything he saw today will undoubtedly leave a deep impression on his mind, and it will be easy to form a martial arts demon in the future, and he doesn't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse.

The two went down the stairs to the cell on the second floor.

Unlike the C floor, there are only eleven cells on this floor.

Li Mu concocted the same method and opened the first room on this floor, the internal area of which was much larger than that of the cell on the C floor, with an area of five or six times, and the blood pool was also larger, with a total of three pulleys on the roof of the room, a total of six iron cables, which hung down and submerged into the blood pool.

Shen Jia turned the winch by the pool in fear.

Six iron cables were raised at the same time.

This time, it wasn't the big jar that was pulled out of the pool of blood.

Rather, it was a huge iron fence cage with a length of three meters and a width of three meters in height.

Blood poured down.

You can see that in the middle of the cage, there is a person hanging, his feet do not land, his hands do not touch the top, the whole large font is pulled apart by iron cables, fixed in the middle of the iron fence cage, shoulder blades, pipa bones, hand bones, foot bones, thigh bones, calf bones and even the skull, there are iron hooks through the flesh and blood, straightened the limbs, and hung in the air like this.

This person is extremely burly, far taller than ordinary people, his skeleton is also magnificent, he is still alive, and the breath of life is not weak, which is equivalent to a martial artist in the five realms.

Li Mu's heart moved, and he tried to communicate with him.

But soon, he found that this person was blinded by stabbing eyes, his tongue was cut off, his ears were pierced and deaf, his facial features and six senses were all abolished, and he became a complete wasted person, and more importantly, his spiritual world was also completely chaotic, compared with those people in the cell on the C floor before, it was only slightly better, but it was no different from a madman.

"Before this person was born, he was a powerhouse of the tenth realm. ”

Li Mu looked at his body and qi and came to such a conclusion.

The eighty Nine Realm powerhouses in the C layer were already shocking enough, but the result was that the Tenth Realm powerhouses who were tortured like specimens appeared in the B layer, which was simply appalling.

And stand, on this floor, there are a total of eleven cells.

If Li Mu didn't guess wrong, in the other ten rooms, the people who were imprisoned and tortured were also the powerhouses of the tenth realm...... In the entire Northern Wilderness Region, for a hundred years, there are only a few powerhouses in the Tenth Realm who have recorded their whereabouts on the bright side?

At this time, Li Mu really realized that it was possible for him to be involved in a shocking situation.
