194: Chapter 194 Rescue

"What?" The middle-aged man standing not far away was shocked in his heart.

This maidservant only had a cultivation of the second level of Foundation Establishment, yet she was actually able to erupt with such strength, slaying a fourth level Foundation Establishment Cultivator in just a few exchanges.

"Halt!" The middle-aged man shouted harshly.

Chen Lingtong looked over; she had noticed this middle-aged man nearby earlier.

"Seventh level of Foundation Establishment?!" Chen Lingtong knitted her brows slightly. The middle-aged man's aura had reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, meaning his cultivation and strength were undoubtedly the strongest in this dungeon.

The middle-aged man did not intend to attack; he merely released his aura to intimidate Chen Lingtong. After all, the stunning woman before him was Junior Martial Uncle Qianyu's maidservant, so it really was not convenient for him to kill her.

However, if she did not step back obediently, he would have no choice but to show no mercy to this beauty. At worst, he would be severely punished the next time he met Junior Martial Uncle Qianyu.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Chen Lingtong's eyes. The fact that he didn't attack was solely due to her identity, but this also gave her an opportunity to exploit.

"Senior Brother, I am only here to find someone. Once I find him, I will naturally return."

"As for this Senior Sister, she only has herself to blame for insisting on taking action." Chen Lingtong's gaze was cold.

This time, it was the middle-aged man's turn to hesitate. Whether the person before him was telling the truth or not did not matter; what mattered was her goal and whether that goal would implicate him.

"Junior Sister, who are you looking for? Just tell Senior Brother. If conditions permit, Senior Brother won't stop you." The middle-aged man's tone softened. As for whether to make a move, it depended on her motive.

"I came to find a Qi Refining Cultivator," Chen Lingtong explained.

After all, this was not a place where she could act with impunity. As long as he was willing to release Chen Lingyi, she naturally would not linger here.

"A Qi Refining Cultivator? Is Junior Sister speaking the truth?" The middle-aged man paused; he had not expected the stunning woman's request to be so simple.

"It is the truth." Chen Lingtong nodded.

"I see. A mere Qi Refining Cultivator, Junior Sister may do as you wish." The middle-aged man stared closely at Chen Lingtong. Seeing no signs of lying, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This woman was not weak. If he truly fought her, he might not be able to capture her unscathed. If something went wrong with her, just thinking about the consequences terrified him.

Previously, someone had moved against Master Qianyu's maidservant, and their end had been tragic. It was said that after being tortured to death by Qianyu, that person had to suffer the agony of Soul Refining daily even in death.

"Junior Martial Uncle, this...?" Several nearby Qi Refining Cultivators were astonished.

This woman had killed quite a few of their people, yet after just a few words, Junior Martial Uncle was going to let her go.

"Shut up," the middle-aged man scolded.

Hearing this, the several Qi Refining Cultivators shrank their necks, not daring to say another word.

"Junior Sister, do you know the name of that Qi Refining Cultivator?"

"Chen Lingyi," Chen Lingtong said calmly.

"Understood. Please wait a moment, Junior Sister. I will have someone check first, and then have them take you to him." The middle-aged man issued orders.

In less than fifteen minutes, a Qi Refining Cultivator arrived and revealed the location where Chen Lingyi was imprisoned.

The middle-aged man nodded, looked at Chen Lingtong, and explained, "Junior Sister, we have found his location. Please follow me."

Without a second thought, Chen Lingtong directly followed him down into the dungeon.

She was not worried about what he might dare to do, because Master Qianyu was cruel and bloodthirsty; as long as one was in the Anti-Immortal Alliance, no one dared to provoke him.

Because everyone who had provoked him was dead.

Arriving at the first basement level, this was the real place where prisoners were kept.

However, in the series of cells on both sides, there were almost no living people, only desiccated corpses.

Thus, a stench of blood and decay wafted continuously into their nostrils.

Smelling this odor, Chen Lingtong subconsciously knitted her brows.

The two continued walking further down. As the stench around them grew thicker, sounds gradually began to be heard.

"Yo! A Fairy has actually come here? Fairy, come over here and let Lord take a look. That ass sure looks juicy."

"Don't listen to him, come to me! I'll make you die of pleasure, hehehe."

"..."

Seeing Chen Lingtong, the people around spat out stream after stream of foul language.

"Ahhh!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man grew furious and with a casual strike, cut down the Cultivators in the surrounding cells.

"Clamorous fools."

Chen Lingtong had also wanted to make a move just now, but seeing that the middle-aged man had already acted on her behalf, she held back her strike.

"Are you alright, Junior Sister?" the middle-aged man asked.

Chen Lingtong merely shook her head. She was not delicate or fragile; how could a few foul words disturb her heart and mind?

Along the rest of the way, no one dared to utter any more taunts.

Soon, the two arrived outside the cell where Chen Lingyi was held.

"Lingyi!" Shedding her usual cold indifference, Chen Lingtong revealed joy for the first time.

Chen Lingyi and Han Lingfeng were meditating and Cultivating. Hearing her, both opened their eyes and looked over.

"Lingtong?!" Chen Lingyi shouted in pleasant surprise.

Meanwhile, Han Lingfeng raised an eyebrow. Lingtong?

He and Chen Lingyi had been imprisoned here all this time, yet over all these years, Chen Lingyi had stubbornly refrained from revealing any information about the woman before them.

Chen Lingtong looked at the two of them; she had almost forgotten about Han Lingfeng.

She truly couldn't be blamed for this. All these years, besides Cultivating, her mind had been entirely focused on Chen Lingyi, so she naturally overlooked Han Lingfeng.

"Senior Brother, could you release the two of them?" Chen Lingtong asked.

"Of course. Release them," the middle-aged man nodded, turning around to instruct the Qi Refining Cultivator behind him.

Creak.

As the cell opened, Chen Lingyi and Han Lingfeng stepped out.

"Lingtong, are you alright?" Chen Lingyi asked hurriedly.

Han Lingfeng's eyes also held inquiry.

"I'm fine." Chen Lingtong looked at the two of them and shook her head.

"Let's leave this place first before talking. Senior Brother, I will take the two of them back now."

"Alright, Junior Sister." The middle-aged man nodded and signaled for the Qi Refining Cultivators behind him to yield the way.

Chen Lingtong led the two away, explaining to them what had happened over these years as they walked.

Hearing her words, the two were shocked and alarmed, while also feeling a trace of fury.

"I didn't expect that Master Qianyu to be such a vile person." Chen Lingyi clenched his fists.

"Let's not talk about that. We need to leave quickly. Right now, there are Cultivators outside causing trouble for them. I wonder if it could be the Golden Core forces of Yan Country?"

After Chen Lingtong finished speaking, she led the two to leave quickly. Even though Chen Lingyi and Han Lingfeng had a thousand questions they wanted to ask, they knew this was no place to stay. Once they were safe, there would be plenty of time and opportunities.

As soon as the three stepped out of the dungeon, they could feel an overwhelming pressure descending upon them.

Chen Lingyi and Han Lingfeng felt their scalps go numb. Even though they were mentally prepared, facing such an aura still made them feel as insignificant as ants.

In the sky, Huang Zhenyuan was still battling three Pseudo-Core Realm Experts. With most of his combat power restricted by the Eight-Gate Dragon-Trapping Formation, facing three Pseudo-Core Realm Experts at once was already making him feel overwhelmed.

After all, he was facing the entire Anti-Immortal Alliance.
