The dungeon is very deep and cold, ordinary people will be frozen stiff if they walk in.
At the bottom of the dungeon, fifty meters away from the ground, the stone walls around were filled with array patterns, and no one could enter the dungeon from underground.
Zi Yan sat inside a two-meter-high metal cage, her slender arms and legs wrapped in iron chains, with golden patterns flowing on the chains and iron bars.
As soon as you lightly touch the iron chain with your hand, it will trigger a golden pattern, generating an electric current that will bounce people away.
Chen Xier stood outside the iron cage, standing there with a beautiful and elegant appearance, her lovely apricot eyes sizing up Zi Cang who was locked inside, saying: "Your body possesses the bloodline of a saint, you are absolutely not an ordinary killer."
Zi Yan closed her eyes, placing her hands on her knees, as if she didn't understand Chen Xier's words.
Following Chen Xie'er's footsteps, Zhang Ruochen walked into the dungeon and saw Zi Qian being locked in an iron cage, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen was also somewhat annoyed. Chen Xier had simply suspected that Zi Qing was an assassin from the Di Fu Men and had locked her up in this dark, cold, and gloomy iron cage dungeon, which was a bit too excessive.
If it's confirmed that Zi Yan is the sharp tongue of the Di Fu Men, then Chen Xie Er's actions would be justified. However, for now, they are still fellow disciples and sisters after all.
Chen Xier took out a sharp broken sword and walked in front of Zi Qian, her crystal-like red lips slightly hooked, with a cold smile, saying: "I heard that you and Zhang Ruochen have a very good relationship"
Zi Xian, sitting cross-legged in the iron cage, slowly opened her eyes and stared at Chen Xi'er outside, saying weakly: "I and Zhang Ruochen are just ordinary senior and junior siblings."
"Haha you finally agreed to speak up"
Chen Xier's delicate smile, her chest heaving constantly, her eyes becoming sharp, coldly hummed: "If you and Zhang Ruochen are really just master-sister relationship, why would you risk exposing your identity to save him? Tell me, is Zhang Ruochen also a sharp blade in the black market?"
"No." Zi Yan closed her eyes again and fell silent.
"Boom"
Chen Xier's gaze turned cold, grabbing the iron chain wrapped around Zi Cai's left wrist and pulling her over, making her face stick tightly to the iron bars.
The short sword in her hand slid along Zixi's cheek, and Chen Xier said with a smile: "If you don't tell the truth, do you believe I'll slash your face now, completely disfiguring you, and then lock you up in the Red Sky Secret Mansion, never to see daylight again?"
Golden patterns on iron chains, like flashes of golden lightning, kept striking into Zǐ Qiān's body.
Even if Zi Yan was an assassin, after undergoing cruel training, at this moment she still clenched her teeth and trembled, saying: "I-I said it's all true, Zhang Ruo Chen really has nothing to do with the black market"
Golden light shines on Chen Xier's absolutely beautiful face, revealing a perfect outline, with features so delicate that there is not a single flaw.
But Zhang Ruochen didn't find that face beautiful at all, instead she could only see malice and sinister, completely different from the perfect goddess image she had shown before.
Zhang Ruochen felt a deep sense of disappointment and let out a soft sigh.
Hearing the sigh, Chen Xier's face changed, and she said, "Who?"
Chen Xier was about to turn around when suddenly a palm wind struck her neck, and then she went black in front of her eyes, her head heavy and her feet light, and fell to the ground.
The purple-clothed woman in the iron cage also became slightly tense, staring at the black figure with a metal mask who had knocked Chen Xie unconscious, and said: "Who are you?"
That black shadow gradually approached, revealing a familiar facial outline.
Although Zhang Ruochen had not yet removed the metal mask from his face, Zi Yan still recognized him.
She didn't show a joyful expression, but instead became even more tense, lowering her voice: "What are you doing here? If the warriors of the Wu City Academy find out about you, they'll definitely take you as a spy for the black market."
Zhang Ruochen said: "I'm here to save you."
"You can leave now, I don't need you to save me." Zi Yan said.
"You think I can't save you"
Zi Yan's eyes turned cold, saying: "How can you still not understand? The people of the Wu City Academy locked me up here just to wait for the Black Market people to come and rescue. Outside, they must have set up a heaven and earth net, we can't escape at all."
Moreover, you and I are different. You are the prince of Yunwu State, with both family and friends. If Wu City Academy suspects that you are a black marketeer, the entire royal family of Yunwu State will be implicated.
Zi Yan saw that Zhang Ruo Chen still hadn't left and said in a low voice, "Besides, we're just ordinary friends, you don't have to take such a big risk for me."
"Whoosh"
Before Zi Yan could finish speaking, Zhang Ruochen took out the Xuan Yuan ancient sword and swung it in a single slash.
A thousand hammer-forged iron lock, split in two, fell to the ground.
Then Zhang Ruochen cut down four more swords, flying close to Ziyan's wrists and ankles, cutting off the four iron chains.
Zhang Ruochen took Ziyan out of the iron cage and said, "Now that I've rescued you, I have no way to retreat either."
Zi Yan was extremely weak, in Zhang Ruochen's arms, she couldn't resist at all, and could only use a pair of beautiful eyes that were both angry and delighted to stare fiercely at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen placed Zi Xuan on the ground, pointing a finger at her brow, and a powerful true energy surged into her body, opening up her sealed meridians.
The seal of the meridian was broken, and the thick true energy immediately filled the body's meridians. Zixi quickly became spirited and full, regaining her strength.
"Let's go, it's time to leave."
Zi Yan's face was slightly red as she grasped Zhang Ruochen's sleeve and asked, "How are you planning to get out?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "I have a way to hide our figures, at least 70% sure that the guards outside won't recognize us."
Zi Yan looked at Chen Xier lying on the ground and said, "I may have a better way"
"What method"
Zi Yan said, "I secretly learned the Silkworm Butterfly Skill at the Gate of Hell. Although I didn't reach the state of great accomplishment, I can still simply change my appearance. Anyway, it's nighttime now, and I believe those warriors guarding the underground prison won't dare to take a close look at Chen Xi'er's face. As long as I transform into Chen Xi'er's appearance, I can naturally escape easily."
Zhang Ruochen also glanced at Chen Xi'er on the ground and said to Chen Xi'er, who had already lost his former good impression: "It should be feasible."
Zhang Ruochen turned around and waited for a moment.
Zi Yan took off Chen Xier's clothes and put them on herself. Her clothes were then put on Chen Xier.
At the same time, Zǐ Qiān also locked Chen Xi'er in an iron cage and wrapped her with four iron chains.
Zi Yan picked up the short sword on the ground, looked at the iron cage and said: "Chen Xie'er's head is also on the wanted list, with a high price. If we don't kill her, the reward will be divided equally between us."
Zhang Ruochen slightly furrowed his brow and said, "After all, I am a student of the Wumeng Xuegong, I won't just watch you kill my fellow disciple."
From Chen Xie Er's standpoint, she actually didn't do anything wrong.
Zhang Ruochen was disappointed in Chen Xier because Chen Xier appeared too perfect in front of him, but revealed his true nature behind his back.
Zhang Ruochen didn't like this two-faced woman.
However, when it came to killing her, it was a different story, and Zhang Ruochen naturally wanted to stop him.
"Alright, I'll let her off this time."
Zi Yan put away the short sword and used "Silk Butterfly Skill" to change the muscles and contours of her face, even her figure underwent a slight transformation, making her almost indistinguishable from Chen Xier.
"The Silkworm Butterfly Technique can change a person's appearance, but it cannot change a person's physical constitution and true energy attributes." Zi Yan said in a voice that was exactly the same as Chen Xier's.
It has to be said that Zǐ Qiàn is a qualified killer, who has learned Chen Xi'er's temperament very well. She walked out of the dungeon without being detected by the two martial artists guarding the dungeon.
Zhang Ruochen used the power of space domain to distort the space, just like stealth, and followed Zi Qian's side, saying in a low voice: "The warriors of Wushang Academy will definitely find out that Chen Xier is locked up in the dungeon soon, so you must escape from Lingkong Manor tonight."
Zi Yan nodded slightly.
Rowing a small boat, crossing the lake, without encountering any obstacles, Zǐ Qián directly headed towards the outside of Líng Kōng Manor.
Nice to meet you, miss
The warriors guarding the Lingkong Manor all knelt on one knee and paid their respects to Zǐ Qiān.
"Open the door, let's go out for a trip." Zi Qian said.
As for Chen Xi'er's order, those warriors did not dare to ask more questions, and immediately opened the formation and the gate, letting "Chen Xi'er" out.
As "Chen Xi'er" walked out of the gate, Zuo Leng Xuan followed her out and gazed at Chen Xi'er's back from a distance, revealing a puzzled expression: "So late, where is Master Sister Chen going?"
After a moment of contemplation, Zuo Lengxuan caught up with him.
Zhang Ruochen originally didn't plan to follow Zi Qian after she left the Lingkong Manor, but he hadn't expected that Zuo Lengxuan would suddenly appear.
Zuo Lengxuan has always been pursuing Chen Xier, and when Chen Xier leaves the Lingkong Manor in the middle of the night, he becomes curious and follows her to investigate, which is also reasonable.
However, it was not Chen Xier at all, but rather Zi Qian.
If Zuo Lengxuan were to discover Chen Xi'er's true identity, wouldn't that be disastrous?
Zhang Ruochen's heart was somewhat uneasy, and he hid his figure again, chasing after him.
Leaving Lingkong Manor, Zicai unfolded her body technique and rapidly flew into the darkness, quickly escaping, only wanting to get further and further away from Lingkong Manor.
But she always felt like someone was following her.
She stopped at a secluded place and let out a soft sigh: "Zhang Ruochen, I've escaped, there's no more danger, you don't have to follow me anymore."
Zi Yan thought that the person following her was Zhang Ruochen, so when she spoke, she didn't intentionally imitate Chen Xier's tone, but used her own voice.
Dada
Footsteps sounded.
Zuo Leng Xuan walked out, with a puzzled gaze, staring at the distant "Chen Xi'er", saying: "You are not Chen Shimei, what kind of person are you and what is your relationship with Zhang Ruochen?"
Upon hearing Zuo Lengxuan's voice, Zi Qian's face changed and she immediately turned around, only to see that the person who came was not Zhang Ruochen, but an inner palace disciple.
Zi Yan had some impression of Zuo Leng Xuan, having seen him once or twice. He was one of the top fifty experts in the Imperial Palace's Academy.
Her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, never expecting that her identity would be exposed only after she escaped, could it be that tonight's efforts will all be in vain?
