Are you talking about the sect master of the Qi Control Sect, Cheng Yuanfeng!
Shangguan Qianqian asked urgently, her breathing rapid.
At this moment, An Yi could also sense Shangguan Qianqian's agitated emotions.
Yes, yes, Old Man Cheng, that should be right.
An Yi was somewhat stunned, even stammering a little.
He remembered that Old Man Cheng had mentioned before that he was the master of some Qi Control Sect.
Vaguely, An Yi had a premonition—could it really be such a coincidence?
He... he's still alive!
Shangguan Qianqian's delicate frame trembled slightly, large teardrops falling one after another.
She, who was usually aloof and cool, rarely showed such a loss of composure.
An Yi grinned wryly.
Old Man Cheng is... father-in-law??
Looking at Shangguan Qianqian's expression, it was almost confirmed.
Qianqian, hold on tight!
An Yi hugged Shangguan Qianqian's slender body tightly and said with a light laugh.
Shangguan Qianqian's tears stopped, and she asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
Perhaps, I know where Old Man Cheng is! Let's go!
An Yi curled his lips into a confident, somewhat roguish smile, grabbed the reins of the horned horse, and shouted, "Hyah!"
The horned horse didn't react, still plodding along slowly.
An Yi: "..."
An Yi reached out and gave it a hard knock on its bald forehead with his knuckles.
Instantly, the horned horse let out a whinny and galloped away over the cobblestone street!
By now, the eastern sky was beginning to pale.
The faint light of dawn broke through the clouds.
A middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat walked slowly down the street, pulling the brim of his hat low.
At the same time.
Lin Chen, who claimed to be worried about An Yi and was going to meet him, had already appeared at the Heavenly Palace dungeon.
As for An Yi...
Well, in Lin Chen's view, that guy wouldn't die, so no need to worry about him.
Mo Jiu skillfully pried open the hidden door to the dungeon and walked in. "Brother Chen, this way."
Lin Chen walked in slowly, frowning slightly as he looked at the dark, damp surroundings. "You were locked up here before?"
No sight of the sky, pitch black where you couldn't see your own hand.
This indescribable silence was the most terrifying part.
Being imprisoned continuously for so long, an ordinary person would probably have gone mad long ago.
"It's all in the past now."
Mo Jiu said with a light laugh.
Those days were indeed quite torturous.
However, it was nothing compared to what was below. There was another level beneath his cell, where an old brother had been imprisoned for twenty years.
Lin Chen followed Mo Jiu down the spiral staircase. As they went deeper, the place grew even more silent, to the point where even the occasional dripping water sound disappeared.
"That woman won't come during the day."
Mo Jiu said, twisting open a torch on the wall.
According to the usual schedule, Murong Qinghong came once every three days, and always during the day.
"Don't light it!"
Lin Chen said warily.
But by then, the flame had already illuminated the vast dungeon brightly.
"Be careful."
Lin Chen said in a low voice, pressing close to the wall and moving forward cautiously.
He was still very alert in unfamiliar environments.
Thud! Thud!
Just then, footsteps sounded.
Mo Jiu's expression changed drastically.
Could it be that Murong Qinghong was here today?
It was almost dawn; her routine wouldn't normally have her in the dungeon at this hour.
"It's a man's footsteps!"
Lin Chen said with a grave expression, his eyes serious, his hand gripping the Lieyun Staff at his waist.
The footsteps ahead were heavy, the pace slow, and carried an indescribable sense of pressure.
Mo Jiu's eyes also turned serious, and he tightened his grip on the large black axe.
Clang... clang...
Not just footsteps, but also the clanking sound of chains.
Slowly, a tall, bare-chested man with long hair appeared at the end of the corridor, walking forward step by step.
Broken halves of shackles were around his ankles and wrists, dragging behind him as he walked.
Mo Jiu's eyes turned sharp.
If he wasn't mistaken, those iron manacles had been broken by brute force!
How was that possible...
Back then, he had also been restrained by chains of this special material.
They were impossible to break free from; even using all his strength, he couldn't leave a single mark on them.
But the man before him had actually broken the chains relying on sheer brute force!
An unimaginably powerful aura of energy radiated from him.
Mo Jiu's face paled, unable to withstand the pressure, and he took a few steps back.
Lin Chen's gaze grew colder and colder.
What a terrifying aura...
The man had handsome features. His strong, 1.9-meter-tall body emitted a frightening radiance, and his long hair floated slightly.
A white glow swirled around him.
Light Spirit Power!
Lin Chen's eyes turned icy, his grip on the Lieyun Staff tightening even more.
He could no longer discern the specific realm of this opponent.
His knowledge of the realms within the Spirit Master field was not extensive.
But Lin Chen understood clearly that his opponent was very strong.
Mo Jiu held his axe, his expression grim.
He seemed not to have expected that the man imprisoned by Murong Qinghong had broken out on his own.
"Kid, run! Now!"
An aged voice came from within the jade pendant. "Don't fight him, you're no match!"
As the voice spoke, the man had already made his move.
A beam of white light shot towards them like a pillar!
Boom!
Lin Chen used the Swift Step technique, narrowly dodging the attack.
The dungeon wall behind him exploded into pieces!
One must know, the dungeon was a place that once held heinous criminals; its materials were not something ordinary attacks could damage.
Mo Jiu raised his axe, dark spirit power swirling around it.
With a roar, he swung it down!
Clang!
The large axe struck as if hitting solid steel, actually rebounding with a forceful vibration.
Mo Jiu was shocked. What level of strength was this!
Before he could think further, a white beam of light was already shooting towards him.
It grew larger in Mo Jiu's pupils!
It was almost about to pierce through his skull!
Thud!
Suddenly, an immense force came out of nowhere, violently shoving Mo Jiu aside.
The white light missed him by a hair's breadth, grazing past his hair!
The one who acted was Lin Chen!
Using Qi Control Art, he had repelled Mo Jiu.
Mo Jiu fell to the ground, gasping for breath, looking at the man in front of him, his soul not yet settled from the fright.
So strong!
Is this the former number one combatant of the Immortal Gate World?
"Restrain!"
Lin Chen's body was enveloped by swirling cyan energy, intending to bind Xing Yunjun.
But that mire-like feeling of restraint didn't manifest at all.
Xing Yunjun continued walking towards him, his steps unceasing.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Xing Yunjun moved. Like a streak of speeding white light, he appeared right in front of Lin Chen.
A fist swiftly struck towards Lin Chen.
Although his gaze seemed somewhat vacant, it didn't hinder his combat prowess in the slightest.
In the heat of the moment, Lin Chen reacted quickly enough, raising the Lieyun Staff to block in time.
But even so, his body was still violently smashed back, crashing into the wall.
Blood trickled from the corner of Lin Chen's mouth, and his body felt as if it had fallen apart.
Then, he slowly raised his hand.
A black light enveloped his arm.
The jade pendant glowed, shimmering with a strange light.
"Wind Burst!"
Suddenly, a black tornado appeared, violently crashing towards Xing Yunjun.
The powerful spiritual energy forced even Xing Yunjun to become vigilant.
The black tornado swept through the entire dungeon!
Heaven and earth seemed to shake!
After breaking free from the black tornado, Xing Yunjun looked around again, a trace of confusion in his eyes.
The two had already disappeared.
He walked slowly forward, the chains clanking with each step.
The dungeon gate was open, light streaming in.
Xing Yunjun, who hadn't seen light for twenty years, squinted slightly.
"Big... big brother..."
Outside the dungeon.
Having just arrived upon hearing the commotion, Xing Yunhai, Xu Kang, Wu Chen, and the others saw the emerging Xing Yunjun, their faces all changing dramatically!
The previous master of the Heavenly Palace is still alive!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
