We ran for a while before I stopped abruptly. "Stop running!"

"How far could it be between two levels of the pagoda? We've been running for so long, why haven't we reached the next level yet?"

Ye Yang said, "Follow me, there's an exit here."

I was about to get up when Su Su said, "What about the people above us?"

Ye Yang said, "If we find a way out, they can follow. Follow me!"

As Ye Yang spoke, he not only quickened his pace, but also constantly shifted his position.

The corridor we were in was about two meters wide. Ye Yang's steps were small, requiring four steps to move from left to right.

Before long, Ye Yang's figure split into four in my sight, looking like four Ye Yangs running forward at the same speed.

Sui Xing Bu (Shattered Star Steps)!

Ye Yang had told me before that the Bei Yi Ye (North One Leaf) clan had a special footwork for testing mechanisms called "Sui Xing Bu."

It relied on extremely fast speed and footwork to lightly touch the mechanisms. Because Sui Xing Bu touched the mechanisms with very little force, it could detect the position of the mechanisms without triggering them.

Ye Yang's footwork became faster and faster, but I felt more and more uncertain.

Although I couldn't use Sui Xing Bu, I could tell that Ye Yang's footwork consumed internal energy extremely quickly. Before long, he would be exhausted.

At that time, whether we ran into the demonic creatures in the iron cages or were caught up by the group of prisoners behind us, it would be a fatal crisis.

Just as I was about to remind Ye Yang, his figure flashed before my eyes and suddenly disappeared.

I was immediately frightened and my hands turned cold. "Ye Yang, you..."

"Below you! Move half a step to the left and jump down!" I heard Ye Yang shouting as if he was under my feet. I immediately moved half a step to the left as he said, and sure enough, I felt my feet sink and I fell three or four meters.

After I steadied myself, I saw Ye Yang standing not far from me, his face pale.

Ye Yang was fine, just a little exhausted.

Before entering the prison, all the elixirs on our bodies had been taken away, so we could only wait for Ye Yang to recover slowly.

I helped Ye Yang walk a few steps forward, and then I saw a figure in a brightly lit hall.

The major joints of that person's hands and feet were nailed with iron skewers, and only the part of their legs below the knees could move in a very small range.

I watched as the other person, like a puppet, quickly shifted their legs, walked a distance along the black line on the ground, and then turned a right angle to move forward again.

I glanced at the person's feet and realized that the black line on the ground was actually a mark made of human blood.

The person had been walking in this square pattern for who knows how long. Their blood had not only drawn a square bloodstain on the ground, but their feet had also been worn away by more than half. Looking at them from the side, I could see the white bones on their feet.

Just as I handed Ye Yang over to Su Su, Lao Gutou (Old Bone) led the prisoners from the prison down.

After passing through two levels of the prison, the number of prisoners who rushed down had decreased by 30%.

Most of the survivors were also injured.

One of them saw me and rushed up directly. "I finally found you!"

"I really gave you too much face!" In a fit of rage, I directly greeted him and struck him with a Mo Xie Shou (Demonic Evil Hand). After all the blood-red qi poured into the person's body, it exploded inside, instantly blasting the person into several pieces.

I stood in the blood flying all over the sky and roared, "Who else wants to die? Try taking another step forward?"

"No one move!" Lao Gutou stopped the prisoners and said, "Hall Master Li, they have just experienced two changes and are a little emotional, please forgive them!"

"Forgive my ass!" I pointed at the group of people and cursed, "The biggest mistake I made after entering the prison was treating you like human beings."

"Damn it, you've been in prison for so many years, and you haven't sobered up a bit."

"No matter who comes out and farts, you can all listen to the sound and continue to learn from it."

"Are you guys even martial artists?"

"You don't have any brains, how have you lived to such an old age?"

"Come on! Don't you all think I'm here to harm you? I'm here to take your lives today, come at me!"

I immediately pulled into a stance, the Di Sha Xue Gang (Earthly Fiend Blood Qi) qi in my body surging like waves. The qi coiling around my hands also emitted a sound like the roar of gods and demons.

When I looked at the prisoners with bloodshot eyes, a group of people actually took a step back.

It was definitely a bad idea to challenge so many prisoners alone.

I estimated that there were at least ten people among them whose cultivation was on par with mine, plus an unfathomable Lao Gutou. If we really fought, I would have no chance of winning.

But I had to do this. Ye Yang couldn't fight right now. If I didn't suppress them, they wouldn't reason with me.

To put it bluntly, I was fighting them for confidence. Whoever retreated now would be the loser.

And I was also gambling on whether Lao Gutou would come forward at a critical moment.
