"The waters of the sea of suffering can extinguish the hellfire of the Asura?"
Ning Beichen came back to his senses and murmured in surprise, while Tai Jing, hiding in the sea of suffering, smiled without saying a word. The water of the sea of suffering, of course, could not extinguish it, but if he, Tai Jing, made a move, it naturally could.
Ning Beichen didn't think much of it and had no idea that a Tai Jing was hidden within his sea of suffering, and that this Tai Jing had saved his life many times. He only thought that the water of the sea of suffering could restrain the hellfire of the Asura.
Therefore, Ning Beichen was excited. This meant he had a way to counter the Asura's hellfire, which was good news for him.
However, before he could be excited for long, the screams around him jolted Ning Beichen awake. He was fine, but the humans who had come to help him were now screaming in agony. One of them had already lost all signs of life.
Seeing this, Ning Beichen immediately flew over, grabbed these humans, and regardless of whether it was useful or not, dragged them into his sea of suffering. As expected, the moment they entered the sea of suffering, the flames burning their souls miraculously extinguished.
"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives."
After coming out, several humans knelt on the ground and respectfully said to Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen originally wanted to say that he was not a senior, but after thinking about it, he ultimately did not speak. In this situation, being a senior was more effective than not being one.
Since they misunderstood, he would let them misunderstand.
"Get up, all of you. Who are you and why are you here?"
Ning Beichen asked them.
"Replying to senior, we are all cultivators from the Xidu world. We were unfortunately captured by the Asuras and brought to Abide Hell."
Several people immediately answered Ning Beichen's questions and revealed their names, sects, and so on.
"Then why are you here after being captured?"
Ning Beichen saw that they did not seem to be imprisoned and was very curious.
"Senior, we escaped. More than just us escaped; there are many other cultivators. They are all hiding in a secret place, but we are all trapped in Abide Hell and cannot get out, so we can only barely survive under the noses of these Asuras."
Chu Yunsheng said respectfully to Ning Beichen.
He was also the leader among these people and had the strongest cultivation, being a Celestial Venerable.
It was just that Ning Beichen did not know why a Celestial Venerable like him would be so respectful to him. Although Ning Beichen was also a Celestial Venerable, in terms of cultivation, he was at most a beginner Celestial Venerable and was not as good as him.
Ning Beichen had no idea that in Abide Hell, even Celestial Venerables had their strength suppressed. His status as a Celestial Venerable was merely nominal.
However, Ning Beichen was able to defeat the six-armed Asura, and in the eyes of Chu Yunsheng and the others, Ning Beichen was a mighty being even more powerful than a Celestial Venerable.
Ning Beichen merely felt a little surprised but did not deny it, instead thinking constantly about the whereabouts of Liu Yilin and the others.
"Since you escaped, have you seen them?"
Ning Beichen waved his arm, and images of Liu Yilin and the others appeared in the air.
The mighty senior had given an order, and Chu Yunsheng and the others dared not delay, immediately beginning to identify them carefully.
After a while, seeing Chu Yunsheng and the others shaking their heads simultaneously and saying they had not seen them, Ning Beichen felt a bit disappointed.
But he thought it was normal. They had been here for a long time, and Liu Yilin and the others had only been captured recently. Therefore, it was normal that they had not seen them.
"Mighty senior, may I ask who they are..."
Chu Yunsheng asked curiously.
"They are my women. We are not from the Xidu world. We originally came to Xidu world to travel, but we found that Xidu world had already been invaded by the Asuras. Later, the Asuras, while fighting with me, captured them and took them to Abide Hell..."
Ning Beichen explained the situation simply, as he knew that to rescue Liu Yilin and the others, he would still need to rely on these people.
"I see. So, it is highly likely that the mighty senior's women are imprisoned in the city of Abide Hell's prison. That is where we escaped from."
Chu Yunsheng immediately said.
"Since you all escaped from the prison in the city of Abide Hell, you should be very familiar with this place. Can you take me to rescue them?"
Ning Beichen immediately said to them.
"Senior, since we escaped from the city of Abide Hell, the prison in the city of Abide Hell has strengthened its defenses, and it is very difficult to get in. Why don't senior come back to the secret place with us, and we can discuss countermeasures."
Chu Yunsheng said to Ning Beichen.
"Alright."
Ning Beichen also knew that he could not rush. He knew nothing about this place, and rushing to rescue them would not only fail to rescue them but would also endanger himself and them.
He would have a better chance of rescuing Liu Yilin and the others after he understood the situation here and the strength of these Asuras. It would not take too much time anyway.
"Senior, please follow us."
Seeing that Ning Beichen had agreed, Chu Yunsheng and the others were very happy.
Soon, Ning Beichen left with them and arrived at a very hidden place, where he met other humans there.
Initially, Ning Beichen thought there were not many of them, at most a few dozen. He did not expect that there were thousands of humans hiding here.
However, they were all trapped in Abide Hell and could not escape, so they could only hide in this dark, sunless place.
Ning Beichen also met their leader, an old man with white eyebrows.
Ning Beichen had originally thought that Celestial Venerable was already extremely powerful, but he found that the weakest here were all at the Celestial Venerable realm, and the old man with white eyebrows was a mighty being above Celestial Venerable, whose strength Ning Beichen could not see through at all.
However, this mighty being became very enthusiastic towards Ning Beichen after hearing Chu Yunfei's description.
Soon, Ning Beichen had a private conversation with the old man with white eyebrows.
The old man with white eyebrows saw through Ning Beichen's true cultivation at a glance.
"Your realm should still be in the early stage of Celestial Venerable, right?"
"That's right, I only recently advanced to Celestial Venerable."
Ning Beichen nodded. There was nothing to hide, and it could not be hidden from such a mighty being anyway.
"That's strange. You are only an early-stage Celestial Venerable, yet you could deal with a six-armed Asura. Was your strength not suppressed in Abide Hell?"
The old man with white eyebrows asked him in surprise.
"Strength suppression?"
Ning Beichen shook his head. He really did not feel that his cultivation was suppressed in Abide Hell; it felt similar to his normal state.
However, to be fair, that Asura was indeed difficult to deal with.
A six-armed Asura was almost a match for him.
What if he encountered a seven-armed Asura, eight-armed Asura, nine-armed Asura, or even higher-level Asuras?
To be honest, Ning Beichen himself did not have much confidence in dealing with them.
