Chu Mo left that place, continuing to delve deeper, while pondering about the truth in what the two men had said earlier.

Firstly, the identities of the two men were probably genuine. He had heard from the Lingyue Sect members before about the Black Prison. It had been unused for many years. The members of the Lingyue Sect seemed to have a profound fear and reverence for the Black Prison, and it was indeed considered a forbidden area by the sect.

If Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong were outsiders, they should not have been imprisoned here.

Then the question is, how true were the words of these two?

Although Chu Mo was young and inexperienced compared to these old fellows, who have lived for hundreds of years, he had his way of determining the truth. He felt that most of what these two fellows had said were probably true.

But at some critical moments, whether they withheld information or twisted the truth, Chu Mo could not be certain.

In particular, Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong's claim that they were framed by Feng Buchang made Chu Mo somewhat doubtful.

Though Chu Mo despised both Feng Jianghai and his son, Feng Hua, it didn't necessarily mean that Feng Jianghai's father, Feng Buchang, was also a despicable person.

Being able to become the sect leader of a major sect, irrespective of his character, he certainly wouldn't lack cunning and scheming.

If Feng Buchang had indeed colluded with the Fire Dragon and betrayed his fellow sect members all those years ago, why did he spare these two men? If they were indeed a hindrance, wouldn't it be simpler and more thorough to just eradicate them outright? Why leave such a massive threat to the sect alive?

The claim that the seals on Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong's bodies could only be lifted by cultivators from the Immortal Realm was something Chu Mo disagreed with. With the Cangqiong Mirror, Chu Mo could easily break the seals on these two individuals.

Chu Mo couldn't believe that Feng Buchang wouldn't have thought of this.

There are many extraordinary beings in this world, and the Spirit Realm is not as closed off as the Mortal Realm!

In this place, one could frequently find dharma instruments from the Immortal Realm or even the Heavenly Realm. That clearly proved that this world had strong connections to the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm!

So, why was Feng Buchang so confident that these two would never be able to escape their predicament?

Thus, Chu Mo only partly believed in what the two men said, and certainly not in its entirety.

His primary focus was still to rescue Fang Lan successfully!

As for the Fire Dragon in the depths of the earth, Chu Mo did not have any immediate plans to provoke it.

Such a formidable existence that even a peak Primordial Infant cultivator could not resist, Chu Mo had no intention of getting on its bad side without understanding it fully.

Proceeding deeper and deeper, Chu Mo felt as if he had traversed dozens of li!

Such a distance would be insignificant above ground. But underground in the belly of a mountain, this number was somewhat frightening.

Finally, he saw a prison cell appearing around a corner in front of him.

The prison cell was very peculiar, looking just like an ordinary cave with a wooden door from the outside. No signs indicated that it was a prison. The wooden door didn't even have a lock, and it seemed as though a gentle push could open it up.

This must be the cell Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong were talking about.

Chu Mo dared not rashly touch the door even though Xiao Wanjun had told him the method to unlock it. He still felt that he needed to be careful.

Even if what he said was true, hundreds of years have passed; who knows if the descendants of the Lingyue sect made any changes to this prison cell?

As Chu Mo pondered, he walked towards the corner. At that moment, an incomprehensibly vast space suddenly unfolded before him.

Despite having heard of it from Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong, Chu Mo was still utterly shocked by the sheer size of the space before him.

This was deep underground!

The sudden appearance of a colossal and unfathomable space at such a place was indeed astonishing.

The spot Chu Mo was standing was at the very top of this vast subterranean space, just below him was a precipice that descended tens of thousands of feet. The entrance of the cave in comparison to the whole underground space was insignificant!

Chu Mo, standing at the entrance of the cave was even more insignificant in comparison to the vastness of the space, like an ant lying on the highest point of a gigantic basin.

There was no path going deeper. If Chu Mo was to take a step forward, he would fall into the vast space.

Peering from the heights, Chu Mo could indeed see a green stone platform in the middle of the space. On the stone platform, a wine cup was placed.

The wine cup looked very delicate. Even from a distance, its exquisite nature was apparent, with its semi-translucent body emitting a faint yellow glow.

The size of the cup was just right for an adult to hold. It seemed to hold an unspeakable charm of the Dao!

Chu Mo only glanced a few times at the cup, and he was already feeling an unearthly sensation!

This greatly surprised Chu Mo. At the same time, his Inner Will and Heaven's Will technique activated spontaneously, expelling this sensation from his divine sense.

Chu Mo shook himself alert, and his gaze fundamentally changed when he looked at the cup again.

Just then, the Cangqiong Mirror on Chu Mo's chest began to emit a hot glow. At the same time, a chunk of information appeared directly in his divine sense.

"Fire Dragon Cup, Divine object, a true Fire Dragon is sealed within it. It's currently in a dormant state and can be awakened. It can be subdued."

Chu Mo was taken aback as he gaped. He was speechless.

Unbelievable! There was indeed a Fire Dragon here, but it wasn't exactly as Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong claimed guarding the cup. Instead, the Fire Dragon... was trapped inside the cup itself!

Of course, Chu Mo didn't think Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong deceived him because they would have had no way of knowing this!

"A Divine object," Chu Mo murmured squinting with peculiar light flickering in his eyes, "What is it really and what kind of entity can seal a true Fire Dragon into a cup? What was his motive?"

The information from the Cangqiong Mirror suggested that it could be subdued... So, how could he go about subduing it?

Just then, Chu Mo heard some movement from the prison cell beside him, it seemed like the door was being opened.

Chu Mo spun around and to his surprise, he saw a face he never expected seeing, he was shocked — it was Feng Jianghai!

However, the man was just as surprised when he saw Chu Mo.

"Zhou Qingyun? You're Elder Zhou's illegitimate child? Why are you here?" The man who emerged from the cell was equally shocked upon seeing Chu Mo. He then looked at Chu Mo, who was empty-handed, "I see, you're not Zhou Qingyun, you...are Lu Tianming!"

"Mas...Master, what are you talking about?" Chu Mo put on a fearful expression, cautiously looking at the person in front of him, "I... I came to bring food for the prisoner."
