When Zhang Ruochen saw Duanmu Xingling, Duanmu Xingling looked particularly excited. Her snow-white face was filled with a beautiful smile, and her round and bright eyes blinked constantly as she said: "Zhang Ruochen, guess what good news I've brought for you?"

  "With the current situation in Wangcheng, there can still be good news." Zhang Ruochen said indifferently, wearing a metal mask.

  Du Mu Xingling rolled her eyes and took out a wooden box from her spatial ring, handing it to Zhang Ruochen.

  "What thing?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

  Du Mu Xingling raised her chin, revealing a slender jade neck, and said proudly: "Open it yourself and take a look"

  Zhang Ruochen hesitated for a moment before opening the wooden box.

  "Whoosh"

  A chill aura wafted out of the wooden box.

  That surge of energy contained a strong corrosive power, instantly devouring Zhang Ruochen's five fingers.

  The skin on his right hand suddenly turned black.

  Zhang Ruochen was not terrified at all, but instead showed a joyful expression, closing the wooden box. At the same time, he circulated his spiritual fire true energy to refine the toxins in his body.

  "Jinzhu Cao Duanmu Shijie, where did you find her?" Zhang Ruochen asked excitedly.

  The toxicity of Shen Qiu Cao was very strong, but just now it was only a tiny amount of toxin that entered Zhang Ruochen's body. Therefore, Zhang Ruochen could use his Ling Huo True Qi to refine the toxin.

  If Zhang Ruochen dared to swallow the Divine Restraint Grass directly into his belly, he would probably die instantly, and even gods couldn't save him.

  Du Mu Xing Ling said with a nonchalant tone, "I just asked a friend to find it from Qian Shui Prefecture and had it delivered to the Imperial City day and night. It's just a small matter, don't worry about it. Of course, Shen Qi Cao is extremely rare and highly toxic. My friend only found three stalks, I'm not sure if it's enough for you."

  "Enough anyway, thank you so much this time, Duanmu Shijie." Zhang Ruochen slightly cupped his hands, expressing his sincere gratitude to Duanmu Xingling.

  Qianshui and Yunwu are separated by a distance of at least one million li. To deliver the Shenqi grass within three days, you must use fourth-level barbarian birds to travel at top speed.

  This favor will be owed.

  Zhang Ruochen didn't ask Duanmu Xingling how he could deliver the Shenqi Grass to Wangcheng within three days. Duanmu Xingling also didn't ask Zhang Ruochen what he wanted the Shenqi Grass for, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.

  Duanmu Xingling smiled sideways with narrowed eyes: "You came looking for me, there must be something on your mind."

  "To be honest with you, sister, there is indeed something."

  Zhang Ruochen stored the Divine Restraint Grass in his storage ring and said, "I just want to know, what's the current situation of the Wushang Academy students in the Imperial City?"

  "Is that all?" Dongmu Xingling revealed a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "I was never a complicated person to begin with."

  Du Mu Xing Ling said, "In the battle at Wu Shi Arena, Wu Shi Academy suffered heavy losses. Dozens of talented students were killed, and some were captured, it's unknown where they're being held. Currently, Wu Shi Academy has three strongholds in Wang City. Zi Qing is imprisoned in the dungeon of Ling Kong Manor. Once it's confirmed she's an assassin from Di Fu Men, Chen Xi Er will definitely have her executed within a certain period of time."

  Zhang Ruochen stared at Duanmu Xingkong's eyes, coughed twice and said: "How did you know that I came to find you for Ziyan's matter?"

  Duanmu Xingling covered her mouth and smiled, "Your relationship with Zisi is so intimate, and she exposed her identity because of you. Anyone would know that your relationship is extraordinary. You're being held captive, and you must go rescue her. I can guess, aren't you surprised?"

  Du Mu Xing Ling said again: "I'm actually still very curious, you and that female assassin have developed to what stage"

  "We're just purely friends, it's not what you think." Zhang Ruo Chen knew he had misspoken and immediately shut his mouth, wanting to slap himself.

  "Haha, one try and it's already come out, she's indeed the killer of the Netherworld Gate. Zhang Ruochen, your guts are really big, daring to mess with the killer of the Netherworld Gate, if Dust Sister finds out, there will be a huge commotion." Duanmu Xingling laughed loudly.

  Zhang Ruochen had to admit that he underestimated Duanmu Xingling's intelligence, and from then on, he would never believe in the saying "women with big breasts are brainless" again.

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes were serious and he said, "Duanmu Shijie, this matter is not trivial, you mustn't spread it out."

  "Don't worry about our relationship, I won't betray you"

  Duanmu Xingling's smile faded away, and she stroked her chin with two jade-like fingers, saying: "Moreover, if you want to save someone, I can also help you."

  In Wangcheng, each of the major families and sects has its own manor.

  Lingkong Manor, covering an area of 120 mu, is neither large nor small. It is a secret stronghold of the Wushi Academy in Wangcheng.

  It's an extraordinary period now, so the defense of Lingkong Manor is extremely tight, and all the arrays are fully activated. Even a Tianji Realm expert would find it impossible to sneak in unnoticed.

  Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling had just approached the Lingkong Manor when they were discovered by the guards guarding the manor.

  "This is a private estate, two"

  That guard hadn't finished speaking when Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling simultaneously took out the token of Wu Shi Academy.

  As soon as the guard saw the tokens of the inner palace disciples in Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling's hands, he immediately knelt down on one knee, saluted them, and respectfully invited them into the Lingkong Manor.

  Duanmu Xingkong and Chen Ruolai arrived at Lingkong Manor, shocking many disciples.

  Especially the mysterious Chen Ruo, many people are very curious about him and have come specially to see this talented young man who can rescue Yunchen Junzhu from the Earth Fire City.

  "He is the secret disciple of Yin Gao Lao Ge, Chen Ruo, why is he wearing a mask?" A student from the outer palace looked at Zhang Ruochen walking side by side with Duanmu Xingling, showing eyes that were both envious and admiring.

  "Chen is a secretly transmitted disciple, his identity is beyond our comparison. It's normal for him to be mysterious."

  Another student cried with a sad face and said: "I didn't expect Du Mu sister to be Chen brother's girlfriend, it seems I have no hope at all"

  "Duanmu sister is as beautiful as a heavenly fairy, and only someone like Chen brother, who is a talented and outstanding individual, would be worthy of being her boyfriend. You shouldn't even think about it, competing with Chen brother for her affections is simply asking for trouble."

  Entering Lingkong Manor, Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling did not take immediate action, but instead settled down under the arrangements of the steward.

  To save Zi Yan, every step must be carefully planned and absolutely no rash action can be taken.

  "I'll go take a look at the defense of the dungeon first. If possible, it's best to get Zi Shimei out tonight." Zhang Ruochen said.

  Du Mu Xingling shook her head and said, "It's easy to rescue her from the underground prison, but it's difficult to send her out of Lingkong Manor. We must plan carefully and cannot act rashly."

  "Don't worry, I have a way to get her out of Lingkong Secret Mansion."

  After saying that, Zhang Ruochen opened the window and saw that there was no one around. He kicked his legs and turned into a virtual shadow, rushing into the night.

  The entrance of the dungeon is set in a fake mountain in the middle of a lake. To get to the dungeon, one must sneakily fly over the surface of the lake and open the dungeon gate.

  But defending Lingkong Manor wouldn't be that easy

  It's estimated that even on the surface of the lake, there were array patterns and talismans set up.

  Zhang Ruochen released his spatial domain and immediately sensed three powerful auras hiding by the lake.

  Fortunately, there is a spatial domain, otherwise it would be impossible to discover the three martial arts masters hiding in the dark.

  Just then, Zhang Ruochen heard a light footstep and immediately retracted the aura on his body, flying to the top of the tree and hiding.

  Footsteps, getting closer and closer.

  Borrowing the faint light, Zhang Ruochen saw a stunningly beautiful woman with an excellent figure approaching the lake shore.

  It's Chen Xier indeed.

  She stopped in her tracks and snapped her fingers lightly.

  In the darkness, an old man walked out and bowed his hands to Chen Xie'er, saying: "Greetings, miss."

  Chen Xi'er nodded and said, "No one is approaching the fake mountain in the center of the lake."

  The old man said: "With us three brothers guarding here, let alone a person, even a mosquito can't fly to the center of the lake's fake mountain."

  Chen Xier nodded and said, "Xue Changlao examined her blood and found that it contained sacred power, making her a descendant of the saints. If she is indeed the sharp point of the Di Fu Men, then she must be more than just an ordinary assassin."

  "The news of her detention has probably been spread. The masters at the Gate of Hell will definitely come to rescue her. You'd better be careful, don't let her be rescued by others."

  That old man said in a cold voice, "This time the Wu Shi Xue Gong suffered such heavy losses, it's only natural that the evil martial artists of Hei Shi will have to pay some price. Miss, rest assured, no matter how many evil martial artists Hei Shi sends to rescue people, it's still a dead end."

  Chen Xier said: "I want to go take a look at her, you all continue hiding, don't expose your figures."

  Chen Xier took out a palm-sized iron boat and placed it in her hand.

  That small and exquisite iron boat is a Seventh-Grade True Martial Treasure.

  Under the impetus of the true energy, the small and exquisite iron boat transformed into a three-meter-long small boat.

  Rowing a small boat, Chen Xier headed towards the artificial hill in the center of the lake.

  At the same time, the formation pattern set in the lake was fully opened.

  "Good opportunity"

  Zhang Ruochen used his spatial domain to hide his body and cast out the Wind Dragon Shadow, crossing the void and landing on the top of the fake mountain in the middle of the lake.

  Because Chen Xier was in a hurry to go to Huxin Hill, the three old men hiding by the lake did not notice the weak true energy fluctuations on the surface of the lake.

  Chen Xier climbed up the artificial hill and walked into a dimly lit small path.

  "Nice to meet you, miss."

  Two guards standing outside the dungeon immediately knelt down and saluted Chen Xier.

  "Open the stone gate." Chen Xi'er said coldly without even looking at them.

  Two warriors guarding the dungeon each took out a key, inserted them into two keyholes, and activated the array pattern on the stone gate.

  Rumble

  A thick stone gate slowly opens, revealing a staircase leading down to the bottom of the earth.

  A chill wind blew out from the stone gate.

  In the stone gate, it was pitch black, and the depth could not be seen.

  Following Chen Xie'er, Zhang Ruochen only glanced at the two guards of the prison and saw their cultivation.

  They all have the cultivation of the extreme boundary of the earth and the extreme position.

  After the defeat at Musashi's arena, the Musashi Financial Group and the Musashi Academy indeed sent a high-ranking martial artist to Wang City.

  Two guards of the prison, both over fifty years old, were obviously not students of the Wushu Academy, but rather martial artists from the Wushu Bank.

  The Wu City Academy is the base for Wu City Qianzhuang to cultivate talents, but not all of Wu City Qianzhuang's martial artists come from the Wu City Academy. Wu City Qianzhuang also spends a lot of money to recruit martial artists from other places.

  These recruited warriors found it difficult to enter the upper echelons of the Wu City Money House, and they also did not have the status of students at the Wu City Academy, unable to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources, and could only be considered as outer layer figures of the Wu City Money House.
