Chapter 759: Chapter 759: The Dungeon

In the depths of the dungeon, due to the lack of ventilation for many years, the air was thick with a nauseating stench.

However, more terrifying than the foul air was the darkness and solitude.

Although the dungeon was divided into multiple rooms, and more than one Yunnv Sect disciple was imprisoned, each cell was very far from the others, making communication impossible. Once you were locked up in the dungeon, it was as if the entire world left you alone.

That feeling of darkness and loneliness was fearsome, unimaginable to the average person.

When Fang Bai and Elder Zhang, Liu Ying, and other Yunnv Sect disciples went down into the dungeon, they heard from the leading Elder Zhang that some disciples who lacked strong wills went mad soon after their imprisonment due to mental breakdowns.

"Elder Luo has been locked up for many years, her condition must not be too good, right?"

Fang Bai frowned and asked.

Although Luo Min was a Heaven Level Perfection martial artist and more strong-willed than most, the lack of sunlight and infrequent meals had most certainly taken a toll on her body, but it was unclear to what extent it had deteriorated.

However, for Fang Bai, as long as Luo Min was still breathing, everything was manageable.

Elder Zhang sighed, "Months ago, when Sect Master Yu and Elders Zhuo and Chi went to the secular world, I overcame Elder Chi’s obstruction and visited Elder Luo in the dungeon once. Elder Luo looked... skin and bones, barely humanlike, and even speaking seemed to take much effort from her!"

After pausing, he sighed again, "At that time, I estimated that Elder Luo might not live past a year, and I was very anxious. Hence, I contacted a group of disciples in hopes of rescuing her, resulting in a fierce battle with Elder Chi’s people... After rescuing Elder Luo this time, I don’t know how long it will take her to recover to normal."

Fang Bai nodded, thinking that being alive was good news and that there must be a way for her to recover fully.

"Liu Ying, release all the disciples imprisoned here! These disciples, who were dissatisfied with the actions of the Sect Master and spoke against her, were locked up here and have suffered greatly!"

As they passed a cell, Elder Zhang lifted the oil lamp in his hand to shine inside, then spoke sternly.

"Yes!"

Liu Ying obeyed the order, and with several disciples, sequentially unlocked the sturdy steel locks thicker than an arm on each of the cell doors.

Fang Bai heard the cell doors behind him open one after the other, and soon the cries of the imprisoned disciples arose.

Those cries held no sadness, only the joy of regained freedom.

"This is the cell where Elder Luo is imprisoned!"

Holding their oil lamps aloft, they made their way to the deepest part of the dungeon, where Elder Zhang pointed to the cell door on the very inside.

Fang Bai looked intently, and saw that the lock on the dungeon door was thicker and longer, making it impossible to escape, even for a Heaven Level martial artist.

When the door of the cell imprisoning Luo Min was opened, what Fang Bai saw was even more startling.

Luo Min’s hands and feet were chained to an iron pillar as thick as a person, her range of movement limited to less than two meters, clearly showing that Sect Master Yu Meiying had not given her any chance to escape.

She was slumped on the ground, leaning against the iron pillar, barefoot, with the cold and hard stone beneath her.

Her hair was disheveled and stark white. Although she was only in her early fifties, her face appeared aged and withered, resembling a septuagenarian or an octogenarian.

A martial artist at Earth Level Perfection should exude a sharp brilliance and an overwhelming presence, yet Luo Min had almost completely lost her vigor. She looked like a gravely ill patient teetering on the brink of death, with just a breath of life left, ready to fade at any moment.

"Senior Sister Luo..."

Elder Zhang’s heart ached as she saw her fellow sister even more worn than when they had met a few months ago, her life’s flame flickering close to extinguishment. She called out with a quivering voice, nearly shedding tears.

Hearing Elder Zhang’s voice, Luo Min struggled to lift her head and look in her direction. When she saw Junior Sister Zhang holding the oil lamp standing before her, a glimmer of joy surfaced in her otherwise dull eyes, and her lips moved slightly, uttering a faint sound.

Fang Bai, with his acute senses, heard her say the words "Junior Sister Zhang."

"Senior Sister Luo, Sect Master Yu is dead, Elder Zhuo, Elder Yu, Elder Chi, they’re all dead too. We’re here to rescue you. This is..."

Elder Zhang intended to introduce Fang Bai to Luo Min but was interrupted by Fang Bai’s wave of the hand.

"Elder Luo’s body is too weak, now is not the time to talk!"

Fang Bai grabbed Luo Min’s right hand, checked her pulse, and then said, "I will give her a brief examination first, otherwise I’m afraid she won’t make it through today and may perish..."

Elder Zhang was shocked and pleaded anxiously, "Please, senior, save my Senior Sister Luo’s life!"

"Don’t worry, within three days, I will restore her to her former self!"

Fang Bai smiled, ignoring the astonished Elder Zhang, who was staring with disbelief, and turned to Luo Min, speaking earnestly, "Elder Luo, my name is Fang Bai. I am a friend of Jiang Yuzhi’s family in the secular world. I have come into the Hidden Sect to take care of some matters and thought I would check on you... Rest assured, your issue is not severe, and I will have you well again very soon!"

As he spoke, he channeled a wisp of Chaos Origin Energy into Luo Min’s body.

All things in heaven and earth are inseparable from the principles of Yin Yang Five Elements, so are human bodies. Having been locked in a dark environment for years, Luo Min’s internal balance of the Five Elements was disrupted, leaving her on the verge of death.

The Chaos Origin Energy within Fang Bai contained Five Elements Origin Qi. Once transferred into Luo Min’s body, it miraculously and rapidly restored her internal equilibrium, allowing her body to heal quickly.

Elder Zhang’s eyes widened as he watched Senior Sister Luo’s complexion improve and her spirit rekindle, no longer the dying woman from moments ago, now seemingly revived as if by the coming of spring. He was amazed and looked at Fang Bai with awe as if he were a deity.

"Thank you, senior... I, Luo Min, will never forget this kindness in my lifetime!"

Moments later, a bit of vibrancy returned to Luo Min’s eyes. After Fang Bai retracted his hand, she stood up, bowed to express her gratitude, her voice much stronger than before. It was hard to imagine that only a moment ago, she was barely clinging to life.

Fang Bai waved his hand, saying, "This is not the place for conversation, let’s leave first, and then I will treat you again. The rest of the time, you will recover on your own. In three days, everything will be back to normal."

Thereupon, Elder Zhang personally supported Luo Min, and along with Fang Bai and the others, they left the dungeon to enter the main hall of the Yunnv Sect.

The Yunnv Sect disciples, who supported Elder Zhang and Elder Luo, had already gathered in the main hall. When they saw Elder Luo appear, there was a hush followed by a surge of cheers.

After the cheers, Elder Zhang spoke a few words on behalf of Elder Luo to the Yunnv Sect disciples, then instructed them to return to their duties and properly address the aftermath of the internal conflicts within the Yunnv Sect.
