Chapter 77 - Helping Meng Tai

"Water Throne Master?" Meng Tai narrowed his eyes immediately . "Hahahahaha, you want to trick me into telling you the truth, you sure are resorting to every trick at hand!" Meng Tai said coldly .

Nevertheless, Gu Hai seriously said, "I know you have scruples . However, I am telling you the truth, whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you!"

Meng Tai immediately focused his eyes as he looked squarely at Gu Hai .

"Okay, speak up, I believe you!" Meng Tai suddenly changed the topic .

At first, Gu Hai was slightly taken aback . However, in the next moment, he instantly realized why . It was not that Meng Tai was convinced, he was just at the end of the rope . Even if he didn't believe Gu Hai, he also had no choice . The reality was that he must believe in Gu Hai, even if he clearly knew he was being deceived . Because only if he chose to believe in Gu Hai could he have the chance to survive . Once he didn't believe Gu Hai, everything was lost .

Gu Hai nodded . "I am the new Water Throne Master, I have just been appointed . I also have no idea about Ascendant Hall, nor do I know anything about you, or that Throne Master Ding, for that matter . It was only because of a mere coincidence that I secretly followed them! Neither am I friends with them, nor am I their enemy . You can think of me as someone without any cultivation, I am unable to do something beyond it . I will everything in my power to help you . Tell me what can I do for you, I will try my level best!"

Amid the raging flames, Meng Tai's eyelids madly twitched as he stared at Gu Hai in astonishment .

"What do you want?" asked Meng Tai, staring at Gu Hai .

"I just have one request!" stated Gu Hai in a calm manner .

"Oh?" Meng Tai narrowed his eyes .

"I just saw a few your memories and came to know that you and Li Wei were senior and junior brothers . I need the method to remove the bronze masks!" said Gu Hai solemnly .

"Bronze mask? Are you wearing a bronze mask?" Meng Tai's brows immediately twitched as he leaned forward .

Gu Hai furrowed his brows slightly . This Meng Tai was really astute . After having remained silent for a while, Gu Hai eventually nodded in confirmation .

Meng Tai stared at Gu Hai for a good long while . "If you are speaking the truth, you are really courageous! The most dangerous place is the safest place, huh?"

"Throne Master Meng, please advise?" Gu Hai once again emphasized .

"Are you sure you don't need the dragon vein's information?" asked Meng Tai, staring at Gu Hai once again .

"I don't know what a dragon vein is, but one thing I know for sure, this dragon vein is dangerous . I don't want to take any risk . At present, I only want to know how to remove the bronze mask!" Gu Hai nodded in surety .

Meng Tai kept on staring at Gu Hai . Gu Hai threw a water ball once again .

Ci! Ci! Ci! Ci! Ci! Meng Tai immediately felt much more comfortable .

"Alright! This bronze mask is really marvelous, it's a method I have learned to use for torture . There is an array inside the mask . However, it's been a couple decades since I learned it, there are some passes in the array, but Li Wei would have definitely altered them!" informed Meng Tai calmly .

"Array, altered?" repeated Gu Hai in a heavy voice .

"Naturally, the primary array cannot be altered, only the secondary array inside is altered . The secondary array is like a lock . And different locks need a different method," explained Meng Tai calmly .

"A lock code?" Gu Hai's face suddenly darkened .

"You can think of it that way!" Meng Tai agreed in a calm manner .

"Is there any way to remove it?" asked Gu Hai again .

"There are three ways!"

"Oh?"

"First, you can look for a peerless expert to help you remove it, his cultivation needs to be above Nascent Soul Stage!" stated Meng Tai in a calm tone .

"A cultivator whose cultivation exceeds Nascent Soul Stage?" Gu Hai's face immediately became ugly . Obviously, it was impossible to look for such expert right now .

"Second, just wait for five decades, after which the energy of the array will be expended and it can be removed then!" explained Meng Tai .

Five decades? Gu Hai shook his head .

"Lastly, you can seek the code from Li Wei . If you let me out, I can help you find it!" said Meng Tai calmly .

"Throne Master Meng, you don't need to test me . I have already told you, I am not friends with them . If I can help you, I will do my utmost . However, I don't have any cultivation at this moment . Tell me, how can I help you?" stated Gu Hai calmly .

"You don't need to do much . You have the Water Throne Master token, don't you? Just a moment ago, that was dreamworld water, just arrange ten vats of it for me . Among the five elements token, water restrains fire, your dreamland water happens to restrain Ding Rui's, that slut's, dreamworld fire!" said Meng Tai calmly .

"That's easy!" Gu Hai nodded .

Immediately, Gu Hai waved his hand before dreamworld water appeared everywhere .

SWISH!

As Meng Tai fiercely sucked in, billowing dreamworld water immediately rushed into his mouth as if his stomach was a bottomless pit which could never be filled .

Only after a good long while did Meng Tai stop sucking it in .

"Is that enough?" asked Gu Hai .

"Thank you, Water Throne Master . It's enough . Water can restrain fire, with dreamworld water inside my body, at the very least I will not be completely suppressed by this flame prison! At least I will not turn into an idiot!" Meng Tai said solemnly .

"That's better . Is there anything you need?" asked Gu Hai .

"Spirit stones, do you have spirit stones?"

"I do!" nodded Gu Hai .

"Before you leave, can you carefully bury them under the rattan inside the cave, I can retrieve it later! As many as possible, please!" stated Meng Tai in a serious manner .

"Alright!" nodded Gu Hai .

"Thank you!" Meng Tai looked at Gu Hai, his eyes flickering with gratitude .

"About that bronze mask . . . ?" said Gu Hai, frowning .

"Once I am out, I will help you fight Li Wei!" said Meng Tai calmly .

"How should we do it?" asked Gu Hai .

"Does Li Wei have someone he cares about? In these years, he must have married again!? Perhaps he has children?" said Meng Tai calmly .

Gu Hai shook his head as he said, "He shouldn't have . However, Yue Yao I just saw in your second level dreamland is still alive!"

"What? That's impossible!" Meng Tai's eyes went wide as he said .

Gu Hai said, shaking his head, "It's true, I still have not that far gone that I can't even remember a girl's appearance . Her name is Yue Yao and I have also seen her . However, that Yue Yao seems very dumb and is always staring blankly as if she is some sort of puppet . She lets Li Wei manipulate her as he wishes!"

"I have already beheaded Yue Yao and also buried her . How could she be alive? Unless… unless . . . !" Meng Tai's countenance turned ugly as he trailed off .

"Unless what?"

"Yue Yao's heaven and earth souls have already been lost . All that remains is one human soul, an ethereal soul and seven corporeal souls!? Zombie technique, Li Wei must have refined Yue Yao's corpse into a zombie!? Having lost two ethereal souls, she is as good as a walking corpse! He won't even let Yue Yao rest in peace!?" Meng Tai said, frowning .

"I am not sure!" Gu Hai shook his head truthfully .

"Have… have… have you seen Feng Ling? Do you know Feng Ling?" Meng Tai gazed at Gu Hai in anticipation .

"I just saw her in your second level dreamland! In the short time, I have arrived at the Golden Tone, I have never heard of Feng Ling!" Gu Hai shook his head .

"In the past, Li Wei used Feng Ling to threaten me, that's the only reason he was able to trap me here . He knows Feng Ling is my lifeline . He would use Feng Ling to threaten me, therefore, Feng Ling must be imprisoned at some place inside the Golden Tong, she must be somewhere!" Meng Tai said in a heavy voice .

Gu Hai shook his head as he said, "I don't know!"

Meng Tai's eyes flickered with varying emotions .

"I have to save Feng Ling . Don't worry, I will definitely help you remove the bronze mask . In the Colosseum, you have to help me do one thing, then, we can put things right once and for all!" Meng Tai looked at Gu Hai .

"Tell me!"

Meng Tai explained some things to Gu Hai for a bit .

---

"Right, can you finally tell me about the principle of bronze masks?" asked Gu Hai .

"Alright!"

---

Gu Hai did not dare to tarry too long in Meng Tai's first level dreamland . In a flash, he once again entered the second level dreamland . . .

Inside the second level dreamland, the scene once again changed .

A floating island appeared in the blink of an eye . The ground below it was full of mountains and forest, as well as, countless pavilions and building .

Meng Tai and Feng Ling stood respectfully behind a woman .

"Hall Lord, we are here, the dragon vein is below!" Meng Tai said excitedly .

"Finally found it . Well done, Meng Tai . As soon as I return with Drawing Dragon Jade, we can take out the dragon vein!" The woman was also extremely happy at this moment .

"Yes, Hall Lord!"

The trio quickly flew away, leaving the floating island .

Seeing this scene, Ding Rui's face immediately changed . "Fourth Dragon Sect? Fourth Dragon Sect's floating island?"

"It can't be wrong, Throne Master Ding, that sure is Fourth Dragon Sect's floating island . It's one of the five major sects of my Nine-Five Island . Isn't one of Your Grace's distant relatives in control of it?" The Song Jia Sect Chief's countenance changed immediately .

"Finally found it, hahaha!" Ding Rui's eyes glowed with excitement .

---

The scene changed once again .

Meng Tai received a letter from Li Wei, along with Feng Ling's clothes . In the next scene, Li Wei used the missing Feng Ling to threaten Meng Tai, and then, trapped him with the help of the Song Jia Sect Chief and Ding Rui .

Finally, Meng Tai let himself get captured because of Feng Ling . In the next scene, he was brought to this cave, where he was imprisoned .

In the next scene, he was inhumanely tortured .

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the second level dreamland started shaking .

BANG!

With a loud crash, the second level dreamland collapsed .

The group instantly appeared in the first level dreamland .

Inside the first level dreamland, Meng Tai was lying in the sea of flames, his entire body charred, seemingly almost dead .

"You don't want to tell!? Humph!" Ding Rui coldly snorted before waving her hand .

BANG!

The first level dreamland collapsed with a loud bang before everyone's consciousness returned to their bodies once again, back in the cave they were in before .

At this moment, Meng Tai's entire body was already slouching . His face was pale, as if he was not breathing .

"Meng Tai, did you kick the bucket? Humph, you can't die, I still haven't tortured you enough!" Li Wei walked over to Meng Tai and slapped him fiercely .

Meng Tai's body quivered, but nevertheless, he continued slouching .

"He is still breathing, he is not dead yet! However, he has already turned into a cripple!" the Song Jia Sect Chief said, smiling coldly .

"Whether he is crippled or turned into a vegetable, it doesn't matter . We already know the location, hahaha! Let's go!" Ding Rui laughed .

"Humph!" Li Wei coldly snorted at Meng Tai .

The group slowly made their way out of the cave .

The last to leave was still Gu Hai . Noticing a grove of rattan, Gu Hai very vigilantly waved his hand .

Crash! Crash! Crash!

The vast majority of the spirit stones inside the token’s storage space was immediately thrown into the rattan groove .

Once the group walked out of the cave, the Beheading Dragon Rock sealed the cave entrance once again .

"Keep guard!" shouted Li Wei to the guards all around .

"Yes, Boss!" answered the group of guards .

Ding Rui was walking very eagerly, filled with excitement . Having finally found it, she didn't want to stay in the Golden Tong any longer .

The group quickly made their way towards a distant palace .

While they were walking, Gu Hai's figure slowly disappeared from the group .

-------

And at this moment, while the group of guards were watching outside the cave, Meng Tai, who was on his last breath, suddenly opened his eyes . His face rose with new spirit .

Looking towards the place where Gu Hai had left the spirit stones, Meng Tai pursed his lips and sucked in hard .

A spirit stone flashed over and was subsequently drawn into his mouth in the blink of an eye .
