Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 582 - 581: I, Mu Yi

Chapter 582: Chapter 581: I, Mu Yi

This is the Mine Fortress of Gu Country.

The entire mountain range was surrounded by such a sturdy fortress.

Saying that its defenses were even stronger than those of the Gu Country Imperial City was no exaggeration.

Lin Hao stood outside the fortress gate, looked up for a long time, and reached such a conclusion.

If he were to lead troops to attack the fortress, by the time it was breached, the Gu Country Soldiers inside would have had enough time to massacre all of the slaves within the mines.

Lin Hao was there to rescue people; inside this fortress, it was said there were at least three hundred thousand Earthling slaves.

Three hundred thousand, this number was not far off from the remaining population on Earth now.

Each person’s life, in Lin Hao’s view, was now incredibly precious and could not be lost.

On his way here, he had already decided.

To save people, one must first infiltrate the fortress; only then could the safety of the slaves be ensured.

He had been standing under the fortress gate for half an hour now, and those who had rushed out to kill him had all become corpses.

Lin Hao was waiting, waiting to kill a few more experts from Gu Country, then to be captured and fight his way out once inside.

After all, with only him alone, the Garrison certainly wouldn’t care, let alone think that Lin Hao alone could take down the fortress, so they wouldn’t kill the slaves.

"Gurgle!"

Finally, the fortress gate made a heavy sound again and began to open.

Then, Lin Hao saw a Gu Country Great General swaggeringly walk out.

Another one coming to meet his death.

Lin Hao sized up the Great General with a sneer in his heart.

These past two days, he had been studying and striving to comprehend the last Rune drawn by the Flame Winged Dragon, gaining some insight, and his strength was rapidly improving.

Now, even without using the Divine Cauldron, he was able to fight these Great Generals of Gu Country.

As the Gu Country Great General was approaching, Lin Hao took a deep breath, circulated his True Qi, and with a slight movement of his fingers, drew that mysterious Rune in the void.

Even drawn in the void, the power of the stroke was immense.

Streaks of lightning danced at Lin Hao’s fingertips, and the air where his fingers passed seemed to twist, as if a space was about to be opened up.

The General was getting closer and closer, completely unaware of Lin Hao’s anomaly. He carelessly walked over, glancing at the dozen corpses on the ground.

Then, with a look as if he saw a dead man, he turned towards Lin Hao, not attacking, merely waving his hand and shouting loudly, "Hey, Earthling, come with me, I’ll take you to a nice place."

Lin Hao was stunned.

Originally, he had intended to fight here and kill this General first.

Unexpectedly, this Gu Country General had pulled this move, and Lin Hao looked at the Great General, feeling puzzled.

Seeing Lin Hao didn’t move, the Gu Country General seemed very impatient and sternly shouted, "What, got cold feet? You dared to come here alone, are you afraid of dying? Don’t have the guts to go with me?"

Lin Hao was clueless as to what had happened. In his opinion, upon the arrival of this Gu Country General, they should have fought to the death, but now...

"Lead the way!"

Without thinking too much, Lin Hao was not worried, plus he had wanted to infiltrate the fortress.

With a cold snort, he let the Gu Country General walk ahead.

The corner of the Gu Country General’s mouth twitched, seeing that Lin Hao still acted so arrogantly, and he was constantly sneering inwardly. Arrogant, haughty, did Earthlings deserve to be?

Wait until they reached the execution ground, see how arrogant they could be!

By then, if they did not cry, they should be considered a man.

Gu Country General thought to himself and turned to head back.

Lin Hao wanted to see what tricks these Gu Country people were actually playing, and followed suit with his steps.

The gates of the fortress were only cracked open enough for one person to pass through, and the General let Lin Hao go first.

Lin Hao was unafraid of their tricks and entered on his own.

Inside, the gates were incredibly thick, at least a meter thick, made of Upper Realm steel-reinforced stone, and engraved with powerful Rune Arrays.

After entering, there was a Vessel City; if the first gate was breached, a second line of defense would still form here, making it very formidable, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Walking all the way, Lin Hao observed everything, feeling fortunate that he had not brought troops to forcefully attack this place.

Once inside, someone immediately led the way, the directions strictly enforced.

It wasn’t until they reached the execution site that Lin Hao felt something wasn’t right.

The atmosphere of the execution site was off.

More than a thousand Earth people, all bound in chains, were being escorted to the center of the arena.

On the surrounding hillsides, numerous stands were filled with powerful military leaders of the garrison, drinking and making merry. Not far away, Lin Hao saw a copper basin and a copper column still ablaze with flames.

On the column, two shadowy figures were bound, human-shaped.

Upon entering the execution site, Lin Hao immediately felt the gaze of more than a thousand Earth people fixed on him.

What’s going on?

He was surprised and followed the soldiers forward until finally stopping in front of the copper basin.

"Wait!!"

The leading soldier was extremely arrogant, not taking Lin Hao seriously at all, and after a stern shout, he turned around and left.

The cold wind blew, and on the square, only the sound of people’s heartbeats and breathing could be heard.

After a moment, Prince Tito emerged atop the grandstand, with a beauty in one arm and a cup of wine in the other, looking down at Lin Hao.

"Are you that Earth person who came to kill us?" he asked condescendingly, standing high above.

"Are you asking something you already know? Who are you?" Lin Hao looked up, sensing the aura of the surroundings.

He realized that almost all the high-ranking officers of the garrison were here.

What is going on?

Lin Hao became excited.

If all these people were captured in one fell swoop, wouldn’t the Mine Fortress fall without even a battle?!

As this thought arose, Lin Hao felt an irrepressible excitement, almost impatient.

On the stands, Prince Tito, oblivious to Lin Hao’s excitement, sneered proudly and haughtily: "I am Prince Tito. Do you know that?"

Prince Tito, Lin Hao certainly knew who that was, since Lin Guodong had briefed him on the basic situation inside the mine on the way here.

Prince Tito, the top authority of this mine, if he were killed, the battle for the mine would be halfway won!

Instantly, in Lin Hao’s eyes, Prince Tito had already become a dead man.

Yet Prince Tito did not realize this and continued to sneer in arrogance, pointing to the fiery-red copper column: "Earth person, give me your name; seeing you had the guts to assault my fortress alone, I’ll let you have a clear end."

"Me? Mu Yi." Lin Hao sneered, choosing not to reveal his real name, fearing that it might scare Prince Tito away.

After all, Lin Hao’s name should have already spread following the battle at Gu Country Imperial City.

"Mu Yi?"

Of course, Prince Tito did not recognize the name Mu Yi, nor did he know Lin Hao.

He laughed coldly: "Just now, two brave Earth people were already tied to this copper column. Now, since you’re also brave, then go ahead, stand up there and be sensible about it."
