Chapter 379: Chapter 188: Capturing a Beautiful Female Knight from the Song Realm

"Although my sister’s Power is considerable, she has too little experience. I’m afraid..."

The young man said, unable to bear the thought.

"If she cannot even endure this trial, how can she call herself a member of the Mo Family?"

The middle-aged man’s tone was cold and imperious.

"But..."

"Leave. Do not act rashly. The greater good must come first."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, dismissing the younger one.

Once the young man was gone, his expression suddenly darkened. He let out a long sigh. "The Returning Ruins Secret Realm... It will likely merge with this world soon..."

"Celestial Secret Saint Venerable, where is this ’way out’ you spoke of?"

...

「Returning Ruins Realm, Yun Mansion Dungeon.」

An ice sculpture stood silently in the corner, the faint outline of a young man sealed within.

"Uncle Master, we’ve been away from the sect for so long, do you think Qian’Er has fallen for someone else?"

"Uncle Master, why are our Chasing Cloud Sixteen Techniques so useless? Is it because we haven’t mastered them yet?"

"Un-Un-Uncle Master, it’s moving! It’s moving!"

In the cell across from the ice sculpture, the talkative young Martial Artist pointed ahead, dumbfounded and stammering, unable to form a complete sentence.

Unfortunately, he was known for being a motormouth, so no one still breathing in the entire prison would take his words seriously.

Naturally, no one responded.

"Uncle Master, it’s—it’s true."

The young man snapped out of it, spun around, and hurried to a shadowy corner, dragging out a disheveled, middle-aged man in tattered clothes.

"Look..."

The middle-aged man, annoyed at being woken, was about to scold him when he suddenly caught sight of the ice sculpture across the way.

His expression froze. He had started to point, but he snatched his hand back with a WHOOSH. He simultaneously clamped a hand over the young man’s mouth and yanked him back into the shadows of the cell.

"Shut your mouth!"

The middle-aged man hissed, a trace of panic in his eyes.

The young man wasn’t an idiot; spending so long in this sunless place had just driven him a little mad. The shock from his Uncle Master was enough to make him instantly understand.

’Of all the ice sculptures filling this prison, all of them well-known figures, which one had ever managed to break free on their own?’ 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The person in the ice sculpture in the opposite cell was actually melting the ice that covered him, returning to the world of the living brimming with vitality.

’What kind of power is that?’

’And here we were, making a scene. Did we want to die without even knowing how it happened?’

As the two waited in silent terror, a figure suddenly appeared at their cell door. With a casual point of his finger, the lock, forged from refined iron, melted and broke in two.

"What sect are you two from?"

"Senior, we are disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. We didn’t see anything."

Cold sweat beaded on the Uncle Master’s forehead. He hadn’t expected the man to single them out.

"Do you want to get out?"

"Senior, you can get us out of here?"

"It’s a one-in-ten chance of survival. Do you dare?"

"Of course! We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Senior."

The Uncle Master wasn’t a fool. Hearing such an offer, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

"Excellent!"

The young figure nodded. His fingers danced across their bodies, tapping several points and releasing the Imprisonment Technique that bound them.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he grabbed the two as easily as if they were chicks, holding them within his Great Sumeru Buddha Hand. He turned, ghost-like, and vanished from the cell with a WHOOSH.

"He..."

"They..."

The other prisoners watched this scene, stunned. But a moment later, they began to sneer. "Truly arrogant. He probably won’t even know what hit him."

"I’ve been in this prison for nearly thirty years. No one has ever escaped."

"This is the Old Witch’s territory. No one can escape."

Although they mocked them, not one of them dared to raise their voice and report the escape to the guards.

Outside the cell, Zhao Rui had instantly activated his Six Trigrams Enchanting Immortal Technique. The guards looked on as if they saw nothing, allowing them to walk right out.

Upon exiting the dungeon, the world opened up before them. The radiant sunset cloaked the entirety of Weishui City in a splendid, multi-colored garment.

The towering city walls, like a glazed ceramic bowl, held a collection of buildings that shone with a dazzling light.

’Time to go!’

Zhao Rui unleashed his Spring Breeze and Rain Technique. His Domain Power unfurled in an instant, and every stir of wind and blade of grass within a ten-li radius was reflected in his mind.

This feeling of absolute control was exhilarating for Zhao Rui.

A light spring rain began to fall. Every raindrop, every wisp of spring breeze, was imbued with his Six Trigrams Enchanting Immortal Technique.

Within this Domain, everyone would fall under the control of his Divine Soul.

And so, Zhao Rui brazenly walked straight toward the nearest city gate, the other two men concealed within his power.

He passed through the city gate tunnel, which stretched for several li, as if he owned the place.

The sea is wide enough for any fish to leap, the sky high enough for any bird to fly!

Away!

Zhao Rui summoned his sword light and shot away like a long rainbow, disappearing beyond the walls of Weishui City.

「Ten minutes later!」

Alarms blared throughout the Yun Mansion dungeon in Weishui City, and every guard sprang into action.

A moment later, two middle-aged women from the Yun Mansion exchanged a look of disbelief. "He escaped? Go report to the Matriarch at once!"

The two found the Matriarch enjoying the cool evening air in the courtyard after her meal. When they told her of Zhao Rui’s escape, the Yun Mansion Matriarch, who had been the picture of calm indifference, shot to her feet, her expression darkening as she rushed to the dungeon.

When she saw the puddle of water where the solid block of ice had been, her eyes narrowed into slits, radiating a chilling, sword-like glint.

’What a formidable boy. Could it be he’s also learned my Nine Nether Profound True Water Scripture?’

’If this boy cannot be made to serve me, then he must not be allowed to live.’

"Send word! Monitor the situation in the Song Realm closely. Report any changes immediately!"

"Yes, Matriarch!"

Everyone bowed in acknowledgment.

Just then, Mo Ling’Er came rushing over. When she saw that Zhao Rui had already escaped, her heart was filled with incredibly complex emotions.
