Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

The prison held many people, including men and women, young and old. These captives were in a pitiful state, their tendons severed, many with eyes gouged out and tongues cut off, merely breathing weakly and occasionally emitting a few wails in the dark, sunless dungeon, showing only the numbness of the walking dead.

Anyone else who saw them might have thought these were just corpses of the dead.

Just then, more wails echoed from the depths.

"Ahhhh--- it hurts, it hurts so much, someone kill me, kill me..."

Following these hopeless cries, Su Mu saw rows of coffin-like wooden boxes stacked in the dark. As the three of them approached, the sight before them was shocking.

Each wooden box contained a person with severed limbs. Their stomachs were sliced open, and from the scars, it seemed as if spherical objects had been forcibly inserted for a long time.

Most of the people in the boxes were already corpses, and the desperate wailing came from a few of the survivors whose stomachs had been sewn up with stitches.

A profound murderous intent surged in Su Mu’s eyes. He thought his mind was quite strong, but seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but be filled with immense killing intent, regretting that he let Gongsun Xin die too easily!

"Leave no one from Taiping Dao alive, Gongsun Xin is dead!"

Infused with Power, Su Mu’s words "Gongsun Xin is dead" reverberated in the underground cavern.

Suddenly, the entire underground cavern fell silent, as even those in the wooden boxes ceased their wailing.

Soon, the brief silence was broken by ’woo-woo’ sounds from within the prison cells. Many of them, having had their tongues cut out, could not speak, but these sounds carried immense excitement, anger, and relief.

At that moment, Su Mu’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly heard the violent clanging of chains from the very depths. Whoever could make such a commotion must be extraordinary.

"Thank you... Kill me, kill me..."

The person inside the wooden box trembled all over, letting out a roar.

"Alright, I’ll send you on your way. May the deceased rest in peace."

Su Mu drew his sword, the cold light falling. Su Mu’s sword was swift, so swift that it released the person in the box from this cruel underground prison without them feeling the pain.

A wisp of Destiny rose from the deceased, drifting into Su Mu’s forehead. Each swing of his blade harvested a wisp of Destiny, but at this moment, there was no joy in Su Mu’s heart.

As he progressed, Su Mu continued to wield his blade, while Yan Xiaolan silently observed his expression without a word.

"Benefactor... thank you..."

At the last prison cell, a few prisoners with their eyes gouged out knelt on the ground, unable to discern direction, ultimately kneeling toward the wall. Su Mu only remained silent, raising his blade once more.

"Elder... the secret chamber is just ahead."

Zhao Qing’s voice trembled immensely, sensing the bone-chilling murderous intent growing stronger with each strike of Su Mu’s blade.

"Elder Lin... I’ll wait for you outside."

Yan Xiaolan, being very perceptive, realized that the secret chamber Zhao Qing spoke of might be Gongsun Xin’s treasure trove, and she felt that if she stayed in this dungeon any longer, she might suffocate.

"Alright."

"Elder, the key is right..."

"No need."

In his hand, Su Mu’s Red Flame Spear flickered red as it unfolded mid-air with a single-arm shake. He needed a moment to vent, and at this instant, Su Mu sensed the Dragon of Spiritual Power in his forehead vibrating, emanating a sense of impending danger.

This sense of impending danger was no less than when facing Gongsun Xin; there was also someone of the Sixth Grade in the hidden chamber.

Was there someone else imprisoned in Gongsun Xin’s secret chamber?!!

"Clang, clang------"

As if sensing someone approaching the door, heavy pounding came from behind the metal door, as though a terrifying Demon Beast chained in iron was furiously struggling. Each impact not only made the thick metal door tremble but caused the entire underground prison to shudder.

Being personally imprisoned by Gongsun Xin in the depths of this underground prison and treated in such a special manner undoubtedly indicated this person was extremely important in Gongsun Xin’s eyes.

Who could possibly be in the secret chamber?
