Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

Mei Yulan hesitated to speak, and finally said: "If I don't agree, I'm afraid that you will turn against me, but I don't want to lie to you. I can only try my best to apply for this. Even if I can't be completely free, reducing my sentence by 20 to 30 years is fine."

"We've only been together for twenty years!"

Mei Yulan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's no problem, but as for how to bring people over, you have to convince Yao Yi yourself. He doesn't seem to want too many people to participate."

Zhao Rui nodded and said, "This is our business, don't worry about it."

"Okay, then we've settled this. By the way, I'll come back in three days to get the bowl."

"No problem, fellow Taoist, please go back quickly, otherwise someone will get suspicious again."

Mei Yulan blushed and left in a hurry.

Time flies. Apart from contacting Qian Xiaoyi, Zhao Rui sends spirit stones to Yao Yi every seven days.

He didn't know the exact date for the implementation of the plan, but he knew that day was getting closer.

During this period, he had cultivated his earth-attributed magic power to the eighth level of Qi training, and his Qi circulation speed reached five times the initial speed, and his strength increased greatly again.

However, going forward, he will need to continuously improve the talents of his three spiritual roots of earth, wood, and water in order to make progress.

Once the three spiritual roots have been cultivated to the great perfection of Qi training, it will be a natural process to directly build the five elements foundation.

Zhao Rui was looking forward to that day, which made his desire for freedom even stronger, and he couldn't wait to leave the prison.

At midnight one day, Zhao Rui was nourishing the spirit stone when a figure walked out silently from the wall.

The figure was covered in dust and looked like a ghost, making almost no sound.

The figure slowly walked towards Zhao Rui, and Zhao Rui only noticed it when it was about one step away.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Yao Yi standing beside him with a serious expression.

"Let's go! After tonight, we will be free." Yao Yi said.

Zhao Rui was overjoyed and asked, "How do we get out? Master, you didn't come in from the cave entrance."

"If you want to hide from others, you should use earth escape technique."

Zhao Rui learned the other party's skills, so he naturally knew this technique, but he pretended not to know it and said, "Master, then I'd like to trouble you to take me for a ride."

Yao Yi nodded, grabbed Zhao Rui's shoulder, and plunged into the cave wall.

A moment later, the two men emerged from the mine tunnel, and someone immediately greeted them, "Master Yao, Fellow Daoist Zhao!"

Zhao Rui shook off the dust on his body and saw Luo Kai, Xiong Ditai, and Mei Yulan waiting on the side, so he asked: "Daoyou Luo, where is this? Did you get out this way too?"

Luo Kai whispered, "I can tell you're not doing your job as deputy captain. This is the mine passage you have to go through to get food every day."

Yao Yi said: "We are restricted and cannot escape far. We just want to avoid alerting the people in the cave. Let's go!"

Luo Kai and the other two moved upon hearing the sound, but Zhao Rui frowned and stood there motionless.

With a determined look on his face, he said, "Wait, we are still short of one person!"

In the dark mine tunnel, everyone had different expressions, but they all looked at Zhao Rui.

Yao Yi had a blank expression on his face. He stared at Zhao Rui for a moment and said, "We are like a clay Buddha crossing a river. We don't even know what the outcome will be. Do we have to do this?"

"Master, you promised me, are you going to break your promise?" Zhao Rui said.

Yao Yi raised one hand and pressed it against the cave wall, saying, "The road ahead is dangerous. It may not be a good thing for your fellow disciples."

As he spoke, he had sunk into the cave wall and disappeared.

About half a cup of tea later, Yao Yi came out from the cave wall with a person, who was Qian Xiaoyi.

There was a hint of displeasure in Luo Kai and Xiong Ditai's eyes, but there was no change on Mei Yulan's face.

Qian Xiaoyi shook off the dirt on his body and said with a smile: "Daoyou Zhao, you are all here! You left so suddenly."

"Hey! Don't you want to leave yet? How about I send you back?" Xiong Ditai said sarcastically.

Yao Yi coughed and said, "Okay, let's get going quickly. We have already wasted quite a bit of time. Don't let us run out of time later."

He took a step forward and walked deeper into the mine.

The rest of the people looked serious and followed in big strides.

Yao Yi walked very quickly and did not hesitate when he came to a fork in the road, as if he was walking in his own back garden.

Not long after, Zhao Rui began to sweat on his forehead. He was secretly shocked: "If there was no one to lead the way, even if we knew there was a teleportation array, we would probably get lost in the mine. I wonder how this old man Yao found it in the first place?"

After about an incense stick of time, the mine tunnel began to go downward. Some places became extremely steep, and water occasionally seeped out.

Zhao Rui was walking when he suddenly heard Qian Xiao turn his head and ask, "Daoyou Zhao, why does this feel... a bit like the road to Brother Zhong?"

Zhao Rui had similar questions in his mind, but he said, "The formation was originally used to transport spirit stones, so it must be somewhere very deep. Let's just follow it."

The group ran for more than an hour until the mine tunnel gradually became narrower, allowing people to pass only by bending over.

In front of Qian Xiaoyi was Mei Yulan, who was wearing a nightgown. She bent over and walked, with her buttocks rising and falling as she moved, which was very seductive.

After staring at her for a long time, Qian Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel distracted, thinking to himself: "Tsk tsk! Judging from the following words, this Mei Yulan is indeed a top-notch one."

He raised his right hand and grabbed in the air with a lewd smile on his face, imagining the amazing elasticity after he grabbed it.

"Puff..." At this moment, a sound rang out.

"Bah! Bah! What's so good about touching the place where you poop!" Qian Xiaoyi immediately pinched his nose, feeling extremely depressed.

He followed the team for a while, but still smelled a smell in the air.

After another half hour, the mine gradually became wider, and not long after, an iron fence appeared in front.

The iron fence was covered with various yellow talismans, and in the middle hung a creepy human-skin face.

At this point, Zhao Rui could no longer hide his doubts, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, isn't this the path to Brother Zhong's torture chamber?"

Luo Kai also looked horrified. He nodded and asked, "Mr. Yao, what are we doing here?"

Xiong Ditai retreated and fell to the back of the group.

Yao Yi was not panicked at all, and said: "As for Brother Zhong's torture chamber, I have been there more often than you have. I am not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the iron fence.

As Yao Yi approached, the talismans on the originally calm iron fence began to move without wind, making harsh sounds.

Not long after, Leatherface started to move: "Who is it? Disturbing my sleep?"

Yao Yi bowed and said, "Junior Cao Yi, nice to meet you, senior!"

The man with the leather face glared with his hollow eyes and roared, "What junior? I only recognize tokens, otherwise don't even think about passing."

Yao Yi immediately took out a jade token from his waist and placed it respectfully in front of the empty eyes of the human-faced man.

"Mr. Cao, then come in! How is your ancestral home? You haven't..." for many years, the Leather-faced Man hadn't finished his words when he gradually returned to his original state as if he was sleepy.

Then there was a creaking sound and a small door opened from below.
