Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Chapter 171: Immortals vs. Mortals, Secret Realm Rescue

Since ancient times, Lu Dalong could see through the hypocrisy of evil heretics such as those low-level Japanese cultivators in just one thought. However, he was helpless in this situation.

Under the siege of the Xiandao New Third Regiment, they were forced to stay where they were. ...

... When the monks of the new third regiment and the pseudo-immortal guards led by Lu Dalong were engaged in a fierce duel at the intersection of immortals and mortals, Cao Geng, after successfully destroying the command base of the small Japanese monks, decisively decided to go deep into the tiger's den.

There was no need to use too many magic spells. When the Japanese monk's command post was destroyed and the entire garrison fell into chaos, Cao Geng only needed to casually put on a piece of the Japanese monk's military uniform, utter fluent Japanese spells, and easily disguised himself and sneaked into the enemy's spiritual material warehouse.

Stepping into the door of the spiritual material warehouse, Cao Geng did not hesitate and triggered a violent explosion with a mysterious method. In an instant, a deafening roar resounded through the sky, like a fireworks display in the fairyland, and the spiritual material warehouse of Xiao Woxiu turned into a blazing flame in his hands.

"The spiritual material warehouse was attacked!"

"Quickly put out the fire. Our base has been invaded by an unknown strong enemy. The command post has been lost. The spiritual material warehouse has exploded. All monks must be vigilant and guard against it!"

Suddenly, the order in the camp of the small Japanese cultivators was in chaos. Seeing this, Cao Geng estimated that this turmoil would be difficult to calm down in a short period of time; even if it was calmed down, their strength would be greatly reduced if they wanted to join forces with the pseudo-immortal guards to fight against the new three groups of cultivators under his command.

Cao Geng had no time to think about it. He took off the uniform of the little Japanese soldier and quietly came to the second Japanese soldier's base. At this moment, with the piercing alarm bells ringing over Wangjiagang, the news that the command center of the Japanese army's base had fallen and the spiritual material warehouse had exploded spread, and the defenders fell into a panic.

At the same time, except for the 200 guards, the remaining 1,400 monks of the Second Japanese Cultivator Sect of the Pseudo-Immortal Guard were all held outside the Pseudo-Immortal Guard’s base by Cao Geng’s warriors. Under such circumstances, Cao Geng only had to face a mere 200 enemies when he entered the base of the Second Japanese Cultivator Sect.

The purpose of Cao Geng's trip was not to slaughter the two Japanese cultivators, but to rescue the trapped fellow cultivators Ding Wei and Zhao Gang. As long as they succeeded in rescuing the two, his New Third Regiment's action today would be considered a victory.

With this strategic intention, Cao Geng sneaked into the camp of the two Japanese repairmen without attracting much attention from them. With his extraordinary speed and agility, he quickly sneaked into the prisoner-of-war camp deep inside the two Japanese repairmen's base.

In Wangjiagang, a large number of prisoners of war have been detained in the prisoner-of-war camp for the past month due to the heavy task of building a defense barrier. In order to facilitate unified management, the Japanese and puppet troops concentrated all the prisoners of war in Wangjiagang in the prisoner-of-war camp here. ...

When Cao Geng stepped into the forbidden area where monks were imprisoned, even he, a cultivator known for his tenacity, was shocked by the large number of people imprisoned there.

Looking around, it was roughly estimated that there were more than 40 large forbidden formations, and each formation contained about 10 monks. Therefore, in this place where monks were imprisoned in Wangjiagang, there were actually more than 400 monks imprisoned!

When these trapped monks saw Cao Geng covered in blood, wearing the Eight Desolations Armor, and appearing here majestically, all the monks in the forbidden area were shocked.

"What kind of incident is this?"

"Why is the Eight Desolate War Sect here?"

"I seem to have heard that the Japanese demon tribe has sent out a signal for the entire territory to be on alert. It seems that the Pseudo-God Alliance in Wangjiagang must have encountered a major crisis."

"The cultivators of the Eight Desolate War Sect were able to break into the place where cultivators were confined. Could it be that the troops attacking Wangjia Port were from the Eight Desolate War Sect?"

Many monks looked at Cao Geng, all with expressions of horror on their faces.

"It seems that we may really have a chance to be freed."

Everyone looked at Cao Geng eagerly, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Venerable Bahuang Zhanzong, please save us. I beg you to help us."

"As long as you can save us, we are willing to follow you no matter if it means going through fire and water or stepping into dangerous places in the future."

Soon after, the monks in the forbidden area asked Cao Geng for help.

Cao Geng was not surprised by the requests for help. He just said to everyone, "Please be patient, fellow Taoists. I am Cao Geng, the leader of the Third Legion of the 386th Division of the Eight Desolate War Sect. I know that you are all detained here innocently. However, I regret to inform you that this is probably not the right time for you to escape..."

It turned out that the Eight Desolate War Sect disciples that Cao Geng brought with him this time were limited in strength. The forces of the Dongying demon tribe and the false god alliance on the periphery would sooner or later notice and launch a counterattack.

Under such circumstances, the disciples under Cao Geng's command were already struggling to take care of themselves, let alone ensure the safety of all the cultivators. Once they broke out, what awaited them might not be freedom, but ruthless attacks from the demon clan and the false god coalition...

Afterwards, Cao Geng informed everyone of the current predicament in detail.

After listening to Cao Geng's story, the more than 400 trapped monks all showed a trace of despair on their faces.

"We have been under the control of these Japanese demons and the false god coalition for more than two months. We serve them every day, and our life is more painful than death."

"Now that there is such an opportunity to escape, even if the hope is slim, we should try it."

"Even if some of us cannot escape successfully, there will always be monks among us who can break through the siege, right?"

"As long as one of us can leave successfully, it will be a victory for everyone."

Among the many monks in this place of imprisonment, someone said so.

In fact, their life in the prisoner-of-war camp was miserable. Not only did they have to submit to the demons and the false god coalition every day, and suffer bullying and insults, but many female monks were also treated inhumanely.

In this place where the monks are imprisoned, the atmosphere of despair is everywhere.

However, in the eyes of those evil demons and rebellious monsters from outside the domain, sometimes even the Shura prisoner-of-war camp, a place of imprisonment filled with the aura of Yin Yuan Sha, can become a place for them to select female monks at will, and their cruel treatment of these prisoners of war is needless to say.

All the Yanhuang bloodline cultivators who witnessed this scene were furious. This pseudo-immortal army prisoner-of-war camp in Wangjiagang was undoubtedly a hell for the more than 400 imprisoned male and female cultivators!

In such a situation, as long as there is a chance to escape, they will all be eager to seize this precious opportunity.

In the past, they had never been able to escape from the strict surveillance of the rebellious demons in Wangjiagang. However, now that Daoist Fellow Cao Geng had led the immortal masters to break through the barrier, they were naturally willing to try this only divine opportunity, even though the possibility of successfully breaking through was very small.

All the monks in the prisoner-of-war camp were unwilling to endure the torment here any longer. Seeing everyone's resolute expressions, they all hoped that Taoist Cao Geng could lead them out of the sea of ​​suffering.

In response to this, Cao Geng naturally took a deep breath of pure energy and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not hinder you any more."

He had not personally experienced the suffering here, so he did not know what kind of purgatory-like torture these prisoners of war had experienced. For them, perhaps staying here and struggling was more painful than dying.

Fortunately, these prisoners of war saw this as an opportunity and gambled their lives to escape. Cao Geng did not hesitate. The next moment, he took out the flying sword at his side and instantly cut off all the chains of more than 40 cells.

When almost all the prisoners of war were full of joy and ready to escape from Wangjiagang, Cao Geng's eyes fell on a more remote prison.

Deep inside the prison, two monks, Ding Wei and Zhao Gang, were lying there, their breaths weak and their lives hanging by a thread. Seeing this, Cao Geng's face changed drastically. He could not imagine what kind of torture the two had endured to end up in such a miserable state.

But he knew very well that it was not appropriate to speculate at this moment. So he shouted loudly: "Which fellow can come to help me rescue these two brothers together? I promise to help you leave this pseudo-immortal army prisoner-of-war camp smoothly!"

"I am willing to help!", "I am willing to help too!", "I am also willing to help!"

Hearing Cao Geng's call, the eyes of many monks trapped in the prisoner-of-war camp flickered, as if they saw a greater chance of survival. With the guarantee of Cao Geng, a disciple of the Eight Desolate War Department, perhaps their chances of escaping would be greatly increased.

Even without Cao Geng's promise, many prisoners would still choose to lend a helping hand. If Cao Geng had not decisively rescued them, they would still be trapped in a hopeless cage, not to mention the chance of escape.

"I don't want your promise, I am willing to do my best! Because you just saved me, and if I am lucky enough to escape from here, I have something to ask of you..."

Suddenly, a burly monk with tangled tendons and a face full of determination and sadness walked out from the crowd. This man was Duan Peng.

Duan Peng came to Cao Geng with great determination. Cao Geng stared at him with a sharp gaze. This man was so strong that he could probably fight two people by himself. He asked directly: "What do you want to do? Do you want to practice under me?"

Duan Peng answered, "I wish to join you as Master and become a disciple of your cultivation force - the new lineage of the 36 Cave Heavens of the Zhenyuan Sect."
