As soon as the words of the Yan family head came out, the three standing beside him all changed their expressions.

"You... juniors?" Captain Chen stammered, raising his hand to wipe the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, "You’re not here for Young Master Chen...?"

Captain Chen didn’t finish his sentence because Yan Zhongjing was staring at him with a cold, deep gaze.

As expected of the head of the largest family in Central Continent City, just standing there, his aura was intimidating enough.

Captain Chen was only stared at for a few seconds, but he felt as if he was already in an icy, snowy place.

Yan Zhongjing looked at Captain Chen with indifferent eyes, "Where are the three children?"

"In... in the Dark Prison." Captain Chen didn’t dare to hide anything and directly told Yan Zhongjing the truth.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the hall began to drop.

Three pressures weighed down on Captain Chen simultaneously, and he couldn’t withstand it, directly falling to his knees with a thud.

Even though they didn’t feel each other’s pressure, they noticed its presence when it came out.

Yan Zhongjing glanced at Patriarch Lan, then at Wei Jingyu, puzzled as to why both suddenly released their pressure as well.

Feeling Yan Zhongjing’s gaze, Wei Jingyu scratched the back of his head and said, "I... I’m also here to pick up the three children."

Upon hearing Wei Jingyu’s words, Yan Zhongjing was slightly surprised.

He didn’t know if any of those three children had a connection with the Wei Family.

However, it was obvious that now was not the time to think about these things.

Yan Zhongjing shifted his gaze back to Captain Chen, his eyes growing increasingly cold and dark, looking down at Captain Chen, "Who allowed you to detain them?"

Captain Chen couldn’t even get up, continuing to kneel on the ground, trembling, "It was... Young Master Chen’s orders, we... we were just following his instructions."

Of course, the Yan family head knew who Young Master Chen in Captain Chen’s words was. Although he didn’t often see him, he had heard of Young Master Chen—ruthless, greedy, and lecherous.

Qiao Qingshu and Gu Zhiqi both were extremely good-looking, and if Young Master Chen targeted Miss Gu...

Thinking of this, the Yan family head felt a cold shiver in his heart.

"Quick! Take us to them." The Yan family head’s tone carried a hint of urgency.

Hearing this, Captain Chen wanted to stand but couldn’t manage to do so.

The pressure from the three had not yet been withdrawn.

Realizing this, Yan Zhongjing and the other two withdrew their pressure.

Captain Chen immediately got up and led the three towards the Dark Prison.

On the other side, the Chief and Xier had already arrived at the Dark Prison where Gu Zhiqi and the others were held.

However, when the two arrived at the Dark Prison, they found the place littered with unconscious people.

Those who had fallen were, of course, Young Master Chen and the ancient martial artists he had brought. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Seeing this, the Chief let out a heavy sigh of relief.

This meant the three who were captured were safe.

Compared to offending the Chen Family, he feared offending the Heavenly Domain Pavilion more.

The Chief raised his hand, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and walked with Xier to the entrance of the Dark Prison.

Standing at the entrance, one could clearly see the situation inside the Dark Prison.

Inside the Dark Prison, there were a total of four people.

Young Master Chen was tied up with ropes, Lu Xingzhe was squatting next to him using a feather to tease him, Gu Zhiqi was explaining test questions, and Qiao Qingshu was listening intently.

Seeing this scene, the Chief fell silent.

This scenario... seemed a bit off.

Perhaps hearing the commotion from the entrance, the people inside the Dark Prison all turned to look.

Seeing the Chief, Xier, and the people behind them, Young Master Chen’s eyes lit up, and he started to cry out to them through his gag.
