The rat prison is located in an extremely hidden cave in Niuqi Mountain, and the entrance of the cave is guarded by demon cultivators in turn, which is a relatively heavily guarded place in Niuqi Mountain. The Rat Prison, as the name suggests, is named because there are many rats raised by the elders in the prison, and it is generally used to imprison disciples who have committed crimes or cultivators of other forces who have been arrested. The rats in prison are not an ordinary breed, but a special species called the bloodthirsty rat. These rats have more pointed teeth than ordinary mice, and they are also more likely to break through the animal's epidermis. Bloodthirsty rats are very fond of blood, and if it is the blood of living creatures. A bloodthirsty rat may not be a threat, but once it grows up, it is comparable to an army of foundation building stage cultivators.

The giant rat that He Ding fought for his life in the stone chamber before was a bloodthirsty rat that had cultivated to the late stage of foundation building. He is considered the leader of the rat colony, and he was raised alone by the cliff.

And at this moment, He Ding was carried by the rat-faced monster and walked quickly in the mountains.

He Ding is now unconscious, and there is only a trace of consciousness left in his brain. He only felt that his consciousness was in a void and dark space, where there was no gravity or light, boundless, as if there was no end. He didn't know if he was falling or rising, and there was nothing for him to refer to in this infinite darkness.

"I ...... Dead?"

Looking at his illusory body, He Ding muttered to himself.

He Ding's consciousness kept wandering in this darkness, and after some time, he finally saw a small white dot that shone slightly in the middle of the darkness in the distance. Without thinking, He Ding instinctively swam towards the point of light.

The white point of light gradually became larger in He Ding's eyes, and the soft light emitted by the point of light seemed to be the light of fire to a moth, attracting He Ding to move closer to it.

He Ding finally came to the glowing object.

It was a white three-legged tripod.

This giant tripod is about three zhang high, mixed round into one, the tripod is engraved with the lines that He Ding has not seen, beautiful and exquisite, exudes a majestic and steady atmosphere, and extends out on the tripod surface. In the center of the tripod is engraved a circular pattern, strangely, the circle is only engraved with the eight trigrams, missing the other seven trigrams. In front of this giant tripod, which is several times larger than himself, He Ding has a very small feeling.

"Find...... Other...... Qiding ......"

An ethereal voice came from Ding, a voice that felt both familiar and unfamiliar, echoing throughout the dark space.

"Who are you?"

"I ...... It is...... You ......"

The ethereal voice replied intermittently, and then stopped abruptly, leaving He Ding without a sound no matter how much he asked.

"Find the other seven tripods, does that mean there are eight of them? Interesting...... Bading corresponds to gossip ......" He Ding thought for a moment, he didn't quite understand what the voice said I am you, but other than that, it was easier to understand.

After the sound disappeared, the surroundings suddenly became silent, and the white dome slowly dimmed until it completely lost its light, turned into darkness, and became one with the environment. He Ding saw Juding disappear, but there was nothing he could do. The infinite darkness descended again, and He Ding began to wander aimlessly in this darkness again.

......

Niuqi Mountain, look up on the cliff.

The head of the cliff is named because it resembles a cow raising its head, and a slightly inclined cliff is very abruptly out on the towering Niuqi Mountain, and that is the head of the cliff. Raise the head of the cliff, the wind is howling, like a ghost crying, making people shudder, and standing on the head of the cliff, one step forward is the abyss, a little accidentally blown by the wind of the foot slip, falling off the cliff, is a catastrophe, there is no possibility of survival, so the cultivators with low cultivation do not dare to approach this place easily, for fear of death.

The rat-faced monster carrying He Ding and the giant rat was silent, and slowed down with caution as it approached the Raised Cliff. The closer he got to the cliff, the more he could feel the wind gradually building stronger, and the wind was pounding on his body, forcing him to slow down.

"It's really windy today......" The rat-faced monster finally spoke, and his voice was high-pitched, somewhat similar to that of the cliff. His figure is not strong, but fortunately, He Ding and the giant rat have gained weight for him, otherwise he might really be blown down by the wind.

The rat-faced monster came to stand in front of the cliff, and one step further was the abyss, and the cold wind kept blowing, and he put down He Ding and the giant rat on his shoulders and held them in his hands.

"Goodbye, weak human. Maybe you can understand what it's like for us to be tortured and killed by humans in the underworld, and blame yourself for being too weak. The rat-faced monster said expressionlessly, and with a flick of both hands, he threw He Ding and the giant rat into the air at the same time. Then, due to the acceleration of gravity, the two corpses instantly disappeared from the sight of the rat-faced monster.

The rat-faced monster clapped its hands, turned and quickly left the Raised Head Cliff.

......

Outside the Rat Prison.

At this moment, the two of them stood outside the rat prison, looking at the white-haired old man in Taoist clothes not far in front of them, and shouted in their hearts almost at the same time, "What is this old man doing?"

"I don't know if Lord Li has come from afar, why is there to visit?" An hugged his fists in his ears, which was his respect for his elders.

"Lord Manshan has been fine lately, I haven't seen him in a long time. Li Qingxuan asked kindly.

"The mountain lord has recently retreated and cultivated, and he has not seen any guests, if there is anything important about the Li League Lord, I can report it on my behalf. Ann replied in her ear. The barbarian mountain lord in Li Qingxuan's mouth is the current mountain lord of Niuqi Mountain, the brute force of the Wu, the great demon of the Mahayana period, and his strength is comparable to Li Qingxuan.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Li Qingxuan waved his hand, he pointed to Zhou Lu behind him and said, "I, a stubborn disciple, don't know the height of the sky today, which angered An Daoyou, I am bringing him to make amends, please forgive me." ”

"Zhou Lu, don't apologize yet. Li Qingxuan didn't look back and said in a deep voice. When Zhou Lu heard this, he trembled, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed a few times on the ground.

"An Daoyou, you don't care about the villain, I, Zhou Lu, really have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and I committed a sin for a while, please forgive An Daoyou!"

Zhou Lu cursed a few times in his heart, but the alliance leader asked him to apologize, and he had to do it. In fact, Li Qingxuan also had a plan, no matter who was at fault, as long as his side admitted his mistake first, the other party would not accept it. If the attitude is tough from the beginning, I am afraid that the matter of ransom will not be negotiable.

"Hmph...... Count you lucky, the deity forgot that you still have a natal weapon for a while, don't let me see you again next time, see you once, hit once!" An snorted coldly in his ear.

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhou Lu broke out in a cold sweat and retreated behind Li Qingxuan.

"You can't just come here to apologize, right?" said Cliff Sanchi coldly. He observed for a long time from the sidelines, and always felt that this Niu Qishan that Li Qingxuan came to had other purposes. It is normal for friction between the two cultivation forces to occur, not to mention this kind of situation where even human lives have not been lost, and it is too grand for the leader of the dignified and righteous alliance branch to come to make amends in person.

"My stubborn disciple originally went to Anyang County to recruit disciples, but I met An Daoyou halfway, and that kind of accident happened. An Daoyou also punished my disciple and took the boat away with ten disciples. I came this time to redeem my ten disciples, I wonder if they are okay now?" Li Qingxuan's attitude was very sincere, and he couldn't tell that he was the master of the First Alliance.

"Those ten people have indeed been taken by me, if you want to ask them where they are now...... Hmph, ask him!" Ann pointed to the cliff three feet and twisted his head to the side.

"Those people were locked up in a rat prison by me, and they were fine. Facing Li Qingxuan, he didn't dare to be too disrespectful.

"Oh, can you trouble Daoist Ya Daoyou to do a good deed and release my disciples?" Li Qingxuan asked with a smile.

"This ......" Ya Sanchi's eyes rolled, deliberately prolonging the end note.

"If you don't dislike it, I have a few four-grade Hui Yuan Dan here, and I am willing to ransom my disciples. A small jade bottle flew out of Li Qingxuan's bag, and with a wave of his fingers, the jade bottle flew into Ya Sanchi's hand.

"Sipin Hui Yuan Dan? Master Li is really too generous, I'm going to release your disciple." Looking at the transparent jade bottle in his hand, Ya Sanchi's eyes were straight, he hurriedly agreed, turned around and walked into the rat prison.

Moments later, Ya Sanchi took all nine people locked in the prison to the outside of the rat prison.

Li Qingxuan frowned, the nine people in front of him were already very haggard, their faces were bloodless, their clothes were in tatters, they had already been stained red with blood, and their bodies were full of small wounds, which looked really pitiful.

"Is this called the body?" Li Qingxuan's voice carried a coercion, a trace of anger shot out of his eyes, and he took a few steps back in a row when he saw the cliff, and suddenly trembled.

"Squeak...... Don't be angry, I just took some blood from them, and after I go back, I can recover my essence and blood after a few days of cultivation. Ya Sanchi didn't dare to offend Li Qingxuan at this time, and he didn't want to lose the four-grade Huiyuan Dan that had just arrived.

"Forget it. Li Qingxuan sighed, as long as no one died. He used his true qi to transmit Zhou Lu and asked, "Can the doll of the Dao base aggregate be among them?"

Zhou Lu carefully glanced back and forth among the nine people, and He Ding's appearance had already been deeply engraved in his mind, but among these people, He Ding's figure was gone. Zhou Lu was surprised: "He's not here!"

"Not here?" Li Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and counted the number of people in front of him, there were indeed nine people, one less.

"Why are there only nine people here? Is there one less Ya Daoyou?" Li Qingxuan was a little impatient, after all, He Ding was the purpose of his visit this time, as for the other people who were not there, it didn't matter to him whether he was dead or not.

"There is another one, he ......" Ya Sanchi knew that Li Qingxuan was talking about He Ding, and the tragic situation in the stone room appeared in front of him, and he was speechless for a while.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Dead. These two words slowly came out of the cliff three feet, and they exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
