Both Zhongli yinmin and Zhang Jiutian stay silently in the cell with there own thought and ideas.
"You are not planning to stay here are you" Zhang Jiutian couldn't help but ask this question to her.
"Well I don't want to die yet so yeah I have to leave this place anyhow" the girl nodded her head in satisfaction.
Suddenly footsteps could be heard both raise there head and saw the guard dragging a child with him.
He toss the child inside the cell opposite of them, by the child clothes they can tell it's a boy he seem to be seven or eight year old.
He had a deep cut on his stomach the position of the cut is.... Yinmin took a deep breath to calm down her heart.
She took another deep breath and open her vision to look at the boy but when she saw the missing spirit root she truly panicked.
At first she was not very scared as she calmly try to appear obedient on the surface so the guards will lower there guards.
But now looking at the cut and the missing spirit root tell her what is going to happen to her if she didn't leave this place.
"What happened, why you suddenly look so scared is it cause of the boy injury" she nodded then shook her head.
She move closer to her and whisper in her ear "the boy spirit root is missing" Zhang Jiutian suck in cold breath.
As she look at her with shock written on her face "are you sure" she pause then nodded her head firmly.
Zhang Jiutian hand shook in fear but then a frown appear on her face as she spoke in bewilderm manner.
"But I don't have spirit root I can't cultivate then why did they bring me here for" Zhongli yinmin blink her eyes.
"No you have spirit root but it seem to be covered in some kind of ice, honestly speaking I never had seen something like this"
Zhang Jiutian look at her in shock "what do you mean you can see my spirit root, no does I even have one"
"Yes you do have spirit root but it covered in ice not only that but your meridian, tendends even the ice had spread to the bones"
Zhang Jiutian was shock since the childhood she had thought she dont have spirit root.
That why she couldn't cultivate rather she can gather qi but when it's came to absorbing it all of the qi just vanish.
She had been disappointed lot of time, whenever she try to cultivate rather than gathering qi she just couldn't absorb it.
But now someone is telling her more specifically achild she had every right to dismiss it for childish nonsense.
But this little girl had been nonchalant from the beginning for her to say something like that maybe... maybe... Its the truth.
She bite her lower lips as she ask "are you sure I have one" she nodded her head Zhang Jiutian shoulder shook in excitement.
"But if we didn't leave this place that spirit root too will be taken away from you" her face paled all of the excitement vanish.
She shiver in fear she had just get to know that she had spirit root and she is going to loss it in few days.
"What should we do now, do you have a way to escape from here" Zhang Jiutian anxiously ask her.
"The guards change there shift twice everyday there only seven minutes difference between the change.
"If we want to escape we had to use that time not only that we need key to open these cell and this too"
She point at the iron bracelet they are wearing which prevent them from using there qi to harm them self or others.
"How can we get the key" Zhongli yinmin ask her to came closer she whisper few words in her ear making her eyes sparkle.
*******
"Hello Mr guard this girl had stop breathing hello hey" the guard arrive at the cell annoyed and hit the iron.
"What the hell you want, why are screaming" the guard angrily glare at her Zhongli yinmin pretense to be scare as she timidly speak.
"That girl stop breathing" the guard frown seeing that the girl had yet to be hace spirit root harvest he curse under his breath.
Opening the cell he went inside and squat down beside her, the guard suddenly felt a jab on his neck.
His vision darken and he fell down on the ground with thug, Zhang Jiutian immediately get up ignoring the pain in her body.
She start searching the guard once she find the key she immediately open the iron bracelet on her hand then remove Zhongli yinmin bracelet too.
Both of them immediately run to the opposite to there cell and open the door, they remove the qi resistance on the boy.
Zhongli yinmin take out healing pill from her space and stuff it in the boy mouth, they carry him then unlock all of the cell.
There are atleast 69 people waiting for there spirit root to be harvested but suddenly they were freed.
Some were shock, some were scared, some were excited, but all know they had to escape from here.
They all run toward the exit although there array formation they manage to clear it, during the change of shift only one guard stay.
That one guard stay till the next shift arrived then he will leave too, the guard happen to be the newbie.
Cause of this he had a map of array on him which he had yet to memorizes, but this map prove to be useful for others.
Zhongli yinmin didn't know there's array set up on the underground cell, luckily Zhang Jiutian find the map.
They guide all of the kids of various age toward the exit, it's not like they are kind but rather they are using these kids as bait.
Such large number of kids both are sure that the guards will try there best to capture them without hurting them.
In that case such large group will be prove to hard to catch it give them more chance to escape from this place.
