The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2408

While he wasn’t about to say no to freedom, there was something else on his mind. For one, the fact that these seven mortals had come down here without permission—from the Thunder Sword Sect—was already punishable by death. With that in mind, if they were willing to risk their lives just to momentarily release him, that had to mean that the enemy was exceedingly strong!

“…Is he really that strong?” asked the old man.

“He is, and despite being so young, he’s probably stronger than the three elders of the Thunder Sword Sect! We know since even after so many years of cultivating, all seven of us weren’t even able to block a single attack from him…!” replied Jaxen as he began explaining about Gerald and his sons’ deaths…

Naturally, this left the old man surprised as he thought, ‘…To think that the outside world has changed so much after being imprisoned here for just a few decades… For that boy to be this powerful, he must be a true cultivator from the cultivation realm like me!’

If he could have a good fight with the boy during his ‘momentary freedom,’ he could at least vent all his anger and grievances—that he had accumulated over the years—on him. In doing so, he’d finally be relieved of his mental torment for a bit.

Turning to look at the seven kneeling men—who were still waiting for his reply—, the old man eventually said, “…Fine, I’ll help. However, are you really going to free me?”

“About that… Please don’t get mad, senior, but we can’t touch the chain formations… We’d get pulverized if we did! That aside, we do have access to a soul-shifting formation… If you don’t mind, we’ll use the formation to transfer your primary soul to another person’s body… Take note, however, that the formation can only last for four hours… With that said, once the time is up, you’ll automatically be sent back to your body,” explained Jaxen.

“Four hours of freedom is the best we can compromise with…” added Grand Elder.

“…The Thunder Sword Sect had me locked down here since they know that I’m a straightforward person who likes to travel. In other words, they knew I’d feel true torture down here. That aside, I’m in. Four hours, it is!” declared the old man with a laugh.

Hearing that, the Grand Elder leaped out… before tossing an old man into the cavern!
