After approaching the two people who were unaware of him from behind, Ye Li did not hesitate at all. He hit them twice quickly with his hands. The two people groaned twice and fell straight down.
At this time, the four elders who were sitting quietly in the cage, as well as the headmaster Lin Qingshu, all noticed Ye Li who had sneaked into the cave, and a look of great surprise appeared on their faces.
"Who are you and how did you get in?"
Lin Qingshu, the head of Huahai Sect, asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Ye Li looked around and made sure that there were no one from the other side, then he moved to the side of the cage.
Looking at Lin Qingshu who asked him the question, Ye Li respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Senior, I am Ye Li, one of the people who was captured into this forbidden area.
We are implementing a plan to escape from here, and the seniors and others are our only hope, so I cooperated with some other people and sneaked in here, intending to release the seniors first, and then leave here under their leadership. "
Ye Li made a long story short and simply told the five people his identity and his motives for coming here.
The five people were slightly stunned when they heard Ye Li's name. One of the elders asked, "Ye Li, are you Master Ou's apprentice, the little guy who was recruited into the Imperial City as an exception?"
Ye Li didn't expect that his reputation had spread to the ears of the older generation of masters. He nodded quickly in surprise and said, "It is the junior."
Hearing Ye Li admit his origins, the old ladies' faces lit up with joy. After all, Ou Qianxie had always had a good reputation, so his disciples would naturally be more popular.
"Seniors, my companions are still outside acting to attract each other's attention. We don't have much time. Please tell me your situation truthfully."
Ye Li did not dare to delay, and after the greetings, he immediately got down to business.
Hearing his question, Lin Qingshu said: "Brother Ye, since time is tight, we won't be polite with you.
Our current situation is that our spiritual energy is blocked, so we cannot use any talismans, and there is no way to escape from this cage.
If you want to rescue us, besides finding a way to open this cage, you also have to remove the soul-locking shackles on our hands. Otherwise, even if we leave here, we won’t be able to fight.”
After hearing Lin Qingshu's words, Ye Li also noticed the shackles on the wrists of the five people. As a weaponsmith, he had naturally heard of things like soul-locking shackles.
This kind of talisman has no other use except to seal the spiritual energy of the talisman master. Once put on, the circulation of the spiritual energy in the body will be suppressed. The talisman master whose realm is not high enough will completely lose his combat ability.
Looking at the two female disciples of Huahai Sect who were knocked down by him, Ye Li secretly said he was offended, then reached his hand into their arms and fumbled for a while, but did not find the key to open the cage.
An elder said: "They don't have the key. The key is with the person who locked us in before."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at the cage. It was not until this moment that he realized that the cage was not made of ordinary materials, but a special material, deep-sea lapis lazuli. The special effect of this material was that it could prevent the condensation of spiritual energy within a certain range.
In other words, if Ye Li, who couldn't find the key, wanted to use the talisman next to the cage to attack the cage, he actually couldn't do it.
Even though he drew the talisman, he was unable to gather spiritual energy, so the talisman could not be activated at all, and naturally could not attack the cage.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea and said, “This is deep sea lapis lazuli. We can’t launch spell attacks near them, and the spiritual energy can’t be gathered at all.
However, the hardness of this metal is not very high. It is slightly more fragile than ordinary gold and iron materials and is not too strong."
Hearing Ye Li's words, an elder beside him was slightly stunned and said: "Little Brother Ye, even if the material strength of this cage is weak, it is difficult for us to open it.
Without the ability to use spells, it would be impossible to destroy this deep sea lapis lazuli with our flesh and blood, even if the material is not very hard."
Hearing her words, Ye Li smiled, without explaining, and just said: "Seniors, please step back a little."
After hearing Ye Li's call, although they didn't understand what was going on, they still followed his request and moved a little further away.
Then Ye Li stood next to the cage and grabbed one of the cage bars with each hand.
“Ah… Yeah…”
Ye Li held onto the two guardrails with both hands and suddenly burst out with all the strength in his body.
His powerful strength, comparable to that of a demon beast in the gestational stage, made his arms like a pair of giant pliers, squeezing the two guardrails towards the middle.
The two cage bars forged from deep-sea lapis lazuli began to twist toward the middle with a teeth-grinding sound.
Relying on the tremendous strength of his arms, Ye Li opened a gap in the cage forged from deep-sea lapis lazuli.
The two green fences had been pressed together at this time, and a gap of moderate size appeared on the cage.
Although this gap looks quite large, it is still a little narrow compared to the bodies of several elders.
Ye Li took a closer look and found that the elders probably couldn't escape from the cage yet. After all, even if they agreed to drill through the guardrail, they couldn't get out of the cage. What he needed to do now was to enlarge the opening of the cage.
What he had just done had already filled Lin Qingshu and the others with shock.
They naturally knew the hardness of deep-sea lapis lazuli. The five of them never imagined that Ye Li could actually destroy the cage with just the strength of his arms.
Before anyone could say anything, Ye Li had already opened his arms and grasped the two iron bars on the other side of the gap again.
Exerting all his strength, Ye Li pulled the other two iron bars on the cage together in just a few breaths.
The big hole that was opened on the cage before has become very large, and several elders should be able to get out of the cage.
"Brother Ye, your physical strength is truly terrifying. You were able to bend the deep-sea lapis lazuli fence with just your own powerful strength. It's incredible."
Ye Li glanced at them and said, "I have some special experiences, and my physical strength is indeed very strong, just enough to bend this cage made of deep-sea lapis lazuli.
Now the hole is big enough that you should be able to get out of the cage."
Hearing Ye Li's call, the five people looked at each other, and several elders gave the right to leave the cage first to the leader Lin Qingshu, allowing her to be the first to come out of the cage.
