The dungeon was extremely deep and quiet, emitting a strong Icing air . If an ordinary person entered such a cold dungeon, they would freeze .
The distance between the ground and the bottom of the dungeon was 50 meters . The Inscription of Array had been carved into the stone wall, making it impossible for anyone to enter the dungeon from the underground .
Zi Qian sat cross-legged on the two-meter-high metal cage . Her slender arms and legs were tied with an iron chain, and a golden inscription mark was floating on the chain and handle .
Anyone who touched the iron chain, even slightly, would trigger the golden inscription mark, causing it to transform into an electric current and bounce the person away .
Chen Xier stood outside the metal cage, looking at Zi Qian who had been locked up and said, "There's Blood Meridian of a Saint found in your body . You're definitely not an ordinary assassin . "
Zi Qian kept her eyes closed . She placed her hands on her knees as if she didn't understand what Chen Xier was talking about .
Zhang Ruochen, who had followed Chen Xier, entered the dungeon . He felt heartache when he saw Zi Qian locked up in the metal cage .
Furthermore, he was irritated that Chen Xier had locked Zi Qian in a cage only for suspecting that she was a killer of the Hades Department . It was an overly harsh punishment for Chen Xier to lock her in such a dark and cold dungeon .
If she had confirmed that Zi Qian was the spy sent by the Hades Department, what Chen Xier did, made complete sense . However, she hadn't found any clue that she was one of the killers of the Hades Department, and anyhow, they were both sisters from the same School .
Then, Chen Xier took out a sharp broken sword . She walked in front of Zi Qian, sneered with her red lips and said, "It's said that the relationship between you and Zhang Ruochen is pretty good?"
Zi Qian, who sat cross-legged in the metal cage, gradually opened her eyes . She stared at Chen Xier, who was standing outside the cage, and responded in a weak voice, "Zhang Ruochen and I . . . are only normal brother and sister . "
"Haha! You finally speak!"
Chen Xier let out a laugh with her soft voice and her chest pumping up and down . As her eyes became fierce, she sneered, "If you and Zhang Ruochen are just brother and sister, why did you save him, given that you might expose your real identity? Tell me! Is Zhang Ruochen one of the spies of the black market?"
"No . " Zi Qian closed her eyes again and stopped talking .
"BOOM!"
Chen Xier shifted her sight . She grabbed Zi Qian's left wrist, which was tied to the iron chain, and dragged her over . Her face was tightly stuck to the metal cage .
The short sword in her hands moved to Zi Qian's face . Chen Xier laughed, "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll cut your face open and you'll make you disfigured . Then, I'll imprison you in the Chikong Secret Mansion, and you'll never be able to see the outside world again . "
The golden inscription mark, carved on the iron chain, kept drilling into Zi Qian's body like wisps of golden thunder .
Even though Zi Qian was an assassin who had been through all sorts of brutal training, she was in great pain at this moment because of the spasm that was passing through her body . She clenched her teeth, shivering and said, "I . . . What I said is true . . . Zhang Ruochen . . . has indeed . . . no relation to the black market . . . "
The golden light shined on Chen Xier's beautiful face and displayed her aesthetic outline . Her beautiful features were perfectly flawless .
Yet, Zhang Ruochen didn't find her pretty, but rather evil and cunning . It was as if she were a different person than the goddess image that she displayed .
He sighed with disappointment .
Hearing the sigh, Chen Xier's countenance changed . She asked, "Who is this?"
When Chen Xier was about to turn around, a palm wind hit her neck suddenly . She blacked out and fell to the ground .
Zi Qian, who was still in the cage, became nervous . She stared at the black shadow who had just knocked Chen Xier out while wearing a metal mask and asked, "Who are you?"
When the black shadow came closer, she saw a familiar face .
As Zhang Ruochen took off his metal mask, Zi Qian was able to recognize him .
Seeing Zhang Ruochem didn't make her seem happy but even more anxious . She lowered her voice and asked, "Why are you here? If warriors of the School of the Martial Market found you here, they would think you're also one of the spies of the black market . "
Zhang Ruochen replied, "I'm here to save you!"
"I don't need you to save me . You should leave now!" said Zi Qian .
He was quite shocked and asked, "Do you think I can't save you?"
Zi Qian looked coldly and said, "How can you not understand? There's a reason people of the School of the Martial Market locked me up here . They are baiting the people from the black market to come save me . Not to mention, they have probably set up traps all outside the manor . I don't see any chance for us to escape . "
"Anyway, you're not like me . You're the prince of the Yunwu Commandery with family and friends all around you . If the School suspects you as one of the spies of the black market, the entire Royal Family of the Yunwu Commandery would be affected . "
Seeing Zhang Ruochen was still there, Zi Qian said in a low voice, "Besides . . . we're just friends . You don't to take such a big risk for me . . . "
"Waaa!"
Before Zi Qian finished speaking, Zhang Ruochen took out his Abyss Ancient Sword and swayed downwards .
The iron chain that weighed a thousand kilograms broke into two part and dropped to the ground .
Then, Zhang Ruochen swayed four times in a row on Zi Qian's wrists and ankles, cutting off the four iron chains that tied her to the metal cage .
He grabbed Zi Qian from the cage and said, "I've already saved you and have no way to go back now . "
Zi Qian was too weak to resist lying in Zhang Ruochen's arms . She could only stare at Zhang Ruochen fixedly with a pair of beautiful eyes, expressing an angry but happy look .
Zhang Ruochen put her on the ground and flicked a pointed finger at her glabella, which caused a powerful Genuine Qi to surge through her body and unseal her blocked Meridians .
Afte her Meridians were untied, the dense Genuine Qi fully filled up the Meridians in her body . Shortly after, Zi Qian was full of energy and had recovered all her power .
