"No problem." Despite saying this, Ling Chen still obediently lay on the bed and asked Zhou Jun and his companion, "How did you guys get here? Didn’t Elder Zhou restrict you from visiting ?"
Zhou Jun opened the prison door and followed Song Ge inside, saying, "It’s already been two days. Song Ge and I have begged many tis, but the old man flatly refused us. Today, I got the idea to say that your wound needed changing, so he finally let us co to see you. Hey, don’t move, let Song Ge check your injury."
Ling Chen nodded. Resting his head on his hands, he asked, "How has Miss Su reacted?"
"I’m not sure. I haven’t seen the Pavilion Master in a few days; everyone has been busy searching for sothing."
Hearing this, Ling Chen asked with a puzzled expression, "Searching for sothing?"
"Yes. They suspect you stole sothing very important from the Yangxin Pavilion, but you had nothing on you and never left the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. So, the Pavilion Master and others speculate you must have hidden it sowhere. These last two days, every corner of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion has been searched, but nothing has been found. Well, just between us, can you tell where you hid it?"
Ling Chen replied helplessly, "Asking is no use, I truly don’t know. Besides, do I look like the type who would do sothing and not admit it? Hey, tell , what exactly did the Yangxin Pavilion lose?"
Song Ge and Zhou Jun looked at each other and both shook their heads, saying, "We don’t know. It must be very important to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. I’ve tried to indirectly ask Elder Zhou, although he never said directly, from his few words, I suspect it’s an old artifact from the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, possibly hundreds of years old. There’s been a lot of rumors these days about it. So say it’s related to the survival of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, but that seems exaggerated; there aren’t many reliable sources."
After thinking for a while, Ling Chen said, "Could you two do a favor and tell Miss Su that I really didn’t steal anything from the Yangxin Pavilion, it must have been soone else who frad ?"
"That... Alright, I’ll pass the ssage, but whether the Pavilion Master believes it or not is up to her; I can’t guarantee anything," Zhou Jun replied.
Night fell.
The gloomy cell was silent, all the prisoners were in deep sleep.
Bang!
Suddenly, a light noise echoed. Alert, Ling Chen imdiately looked up towards the entrance of the prison cell. Instantly, he saw two guards at the entrance collapse to the ground without making a sound.
Looking at the blood holes remaining on the necks of the two guards, Ling Chen’s brow furrowed imdiately.
Such ruthless tactics, they didn’t leave anyone alive!
In his thoughts, several dark figures quickly rushed in from outside, heading straight for Ling Chen’s cell.
Clang!
Accompanied by a crisp sound and sparks flying, the lock of the cell was instantly chopped open. Imdiately after, those figures walked into the cell in a few strides, lifting Ling Chen from the bed.
"What are you doing?"
Ling Chen struggled fiercely, but his severe back wound made him too weak to resist. Soon, he was easily subdued by those n.
Taking this opportunity, Ling Chen observed these people; their faces were unfamiliar, he had never seen them before.
"Mr. Ling, I want to ask you about sothing, and I hope you will tell the truth," a man asked.
Ling Chen calmly responded, "What is it?"
"Where is the item you stole from the Yangxin Pavilion? Tell the location. As long as I find that item, I will imdiately take you away from here."
"So, it’s about that item."
"Who are you?"
At this ti, prisoners incarcerated in other cells had been awoken by the noise, each of them pleading, "Friend, please, let us go."
Frowning, the man glanced at them and said coldly, "So noisy. Kill them all, leave no survivors, lest they expose our identities later."
"Yes!"
Two subordinates responded, casually pulling out two daggers and throwing them fiercely.
Accompanied by two screams, the neighboring cell’s prisoners were instantly killed on the spot.
Seeing a man with a dagger approaching, Zhu Hong’s face changed drastically, and he hastily backed away, leaning against the wall and begging bitterly, "Don’t, don’t kill , please... I... I’m from the God Organization, I’ll pay whatever it takes just to get out."
Hearing the words ’God Organization’, the man’s movents slowed, and he looked at Zhu Hong skeptically, "You are from the God Organization?"
"Yes, yes," Zhu Hong hurriedly responded, "please don’t kill ."
"Boss, this kid says he’s from the God Organization, should we..."
Hearing his subordinate’s report, the man pondered for a few seconds and said, "Let him go. Let him fend for himself. At least we would have helped him. Whether he can escape or not is up to his own fate."
Having said that, the man turned to Ling Chen and pressed, "Mr. Ling, we don’t have much ti, you’d better answer my question quickly."
"I..."
Ling Chen was about to speak, but before he could, he heard a rush of footsteps suddenly coming from the entrance of the cell.
"Boss, it’s bad, Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s people are coming!"
"Take the people and leave."
As he spoke, the man, regardless of the injuries on Ling Chen’s body, grabbed his arm and rushed towards the exit.
However, after taking only a few steps, the man suddenly felt a surge of strength in Ling Chen’s arm, making him unable to pull. Surprised, the man turned around and saw Ling Chen’s mouth slightly curved up, carrying a faint mocking smile.
"What are you..."
A sense of foreboding sank in the man’s heart instantly.
"After so much effort and waiting for so long, I finally lured you out," Ling Chen said with a proud smile.
In the midst of his speaking, Zhou Qi had already led people rushing into the cell from outside.
"Break out."
The man calmly issued the order. The hand that held Ling Chen’s arm casually loosened, and he pulled out a dagger from his waist, aiming to strike Ling Chen’s head.
As the blade approached, Ling Chen leaned back at the waist, nimbly dodging the dagger’s attack. Then, he stepped forward rapidly, closing the distance to the man, and his steel fist thundered out, smashing heavily into the opponent and sending him flying.
At this mont, the two factions clashed together, the scene was extrely chaotic.
Ling Chen moved to the side, quietly watching the battle. With Zhou Qi and his n intervening, these people had no chance to retaliate. In less than three minutes, the n who had infiltrated the cell were all subdued, kneeling in a row on the ground.
