”Why are you fine?” This man suddenly asked. His voice was slightly airy and his words weren't pronounced clearly.

Mo Wuji retreated by a few steps and looked warily at the corpse that's left of that man and asked, ”Who are you? Roughly where are the people that are being imprisoned here?”

The reason why he was on guard was because this man in front of him had a powerful cultivation. Mo Wuji guessed that the other party was an Immortal Reverent.

”Hehe…” This man uttered a ear-splitting laughter. Immediately, he extended his spotty and withered hand towards Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji did not hesitate to slash out with his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. His halberd conjured a half moon halberd light which slammed towards that bony arm.

”Boom!” Immortal elemental energy exploded, and Mo Wuji was directly sent flying. At almost the same instant as when Mo Wuji attacked, a sword qi from within the Sword Prison shot straight towards Mo Wuji's bones. Fortunately, Mo Wuji's fleshly body was strong to an unimaginable degree, and this sword qi was only able to cause him some slight pain.

This spotted and scar filled corpse man stared at Mo Wuji in shock. At the very next instant, his bone went ”Kacha!” as one of his finger bones broke.

It wasn't that he was worse than Mo Wuji. It was because he had been corroded by sword qi for countless of years. Even now, he was continuously being ripped apart by the Sword Prison's sword qi. This ripping didn't affect his body alone, it also tore his soul apart. Every time he activated his immortal elemental energy, the power of this ripping sword qi would increase by multiple fold.

However, Mo Wuji was different. Not only didn't he have any sword talisman on him, he wasn't even affected by the sword qi here. It could be said that he was equivalent to an Immortal Reverent here. More accurately, he possessed even greater power and freedom than an Immortal Reverent. Even when he was attacking which caused the power of the sword qi to concentrate, if didn't affect him much.

Mo Wuji landed tens of meters away. In his heart, he now knew that this Immortal Reverent's power wasn't of any threat to him.

”Senior, please help me. I'm willing to follow senior and be at your beck and call…” This bony corpse suddenly kneeled on the ground and uttered words which even left Mo Wuji stupefied.

In his eyes, since Mo Wuji was able to attain the upper hand in a straight on exchange, that meant that Mo Wuji was a senior. It wasn't in his considerations that he only had a fraction of his full power left.

An esteemed Immortal Reverent actually kneeled in front of an unassuming Grand Luo Immortal like him. There was no need to talk about his Grand Luo Immortal cultivation. Even if he was a Quasi-Emperor, or even an Immortal Emperor, it was simply impossible to get an Immortal Reverent to kneel willingly.

Any Immortal Reverent had his own pride. they would rather die than to have their knees touch the ground.

Mo Wuji wielded his Half Moon Weighted Halberd in front of him as he approached this Immortal Reverent. After sizing this Immortal Reverent up, he finally asked a string of questions, ”Stand up and talk. What's your name? Why are you here? How long have you been here? And why do you want me to help you?”

This Immortal Reverent stood up and said respectfully, ”I am called Fei Ling. I have been imprisoned in Sword Prison for 4,000 years. I have always been staying in Vine Mountain of Safety. Because I offended Pang Hong, he actually got me to go down to Sword Qi River to collect water for four consecutive times. I could only escape…”

”Wait…” Mo Wuji stopped Fei Ling, ”What's Vine Mountain of Safety? What's Sword Qi River? And why must you collect water?”

Fei Ling explained, ”Senior doesn't have a sword talisman on you, so it doesn't feel as unbearable…”

When he said the word 'unbearable’, the corner of Fei Ling's eyes twitched unconsciously. Clearly, his primordial spirit was still suffering from the sword qi. ”Being in here and suffering from the sword qi, one could only continuously search for a place where the sword qi is weaker. Vine Mountain of Safety is such a place. That place is filled with thick roots as well as vines that extended up and out. At the same time, the sword qi there is very weak. There are even four hours in a day when there won't be sword qi invading and corroding our souls. Anyone that entered Sword Prison would eventually find their way to Vine Mountain of Safety.”

”Great Sword Path doesn't know that there's this Vine Mountain of Safety in Sword Prison?” Mo Wuji asked.

Fei Ling shook his head, ”They definitely don't know about it. Entering Sword Prison is equivalent to death. There's no means of communication with the outside world. Moreover, it hadn't been long since Vine Mountain of Safety was discovered. The Great Sword Path definitely doesn't know of Vine Mountain of Safety. They might not even know of Sword Qi River.”

”Continue speaking.” Mo Wuji nodded. It was not far off from his expectations. The Great Sword Path only threw people into this Sword Prison. They only knew that Sword Prison was filled with sword qi that corroded one's flesh and soul. However, they didn't know the exact situation within Sword Prison itself.
