Chapter 605: Chapter 334: Transformations on All Sides

After Ning Wufang broke free from the shackles, he slightly moved his wrists.

The young soldier opened his eyes to look at him:

"You..."

"Keep it down."

Ning Wufang frowned slightly:

"Although I have broken free from the shackles, my Inner Breath is completely absent. The method used to block the acupoints was rather expert. To completely restore my Inner Strength, it will take at least a day or two."

The young soldier remained silent for a moment, then spoke softly:

"Who are you?"

"I’m here to rescue you."

Ning Wufang leaned against the cell wall:

"Although initially, I didn’t come to rescue you...

"I was just looking for you all, because the things happening to me seem inconsistent with what was initially agreed upon.

"It seems now that I’ve been deceived."

The young soldier furrowed his brow slightly, puzzled:

"You’re looking for us?"

"It seems you truly don’t know who I am."

Ning Wufang chuckled:

"But it doesn’t matter, in a couple of days when my Inner Strength recovers, I will take you out.

"When we find the General, you’ll naturally know my identity."

Upon hearing this, the young soldier felt slightly more at ease.

The man before him spoke with confidence, seemingly having some connection to his own side. And, it seemed the General knew him... If, when they saw the General, everything this man claimed turned out to be false, how could he survive under the General’s watch?

At this point, just as the young soldier was about to speak again... footsteps could be heard coming their way.

The two people were conversing as they walked.

The topic of their conversation mainly circled around Chu Qing.

One mentioned that the Mansion Master trusted this young man for reasons unknown, while the other talked about Chu Qing’s gallant rescue efforts.

These seemed unremarkable until suddenly, one of them spoke mysteriously:

"The Mansion Master’s decision today is very peculiar, could it be related to this person?

"In these turbulent times for our Celestial Sound Mansion, why were so many personnel suddenly sent to the forbidden grounds of the Divine Sound Waterfall?"

"How would I know?"

The two spoke casually as they walked away, their voices fading into the distance.

Ning Wufang’s gaze fell upon the young soldier, perhaps due to severe injuries, his mental state was not what it used to be, and his emotions were clearly visible.

Moments ago, Ning Wufang clearly noticed that the mention of ’Divine Sound Waterfall’ caused the young soldier’s expression to suddenly change.

Though he quickly reverted to his original expression, his reaction betrayed a sense of concealment.

Ning Wufang waited for the patrol to pass by before asking softly:

"What is it? Is there a problem with the Divine Sound Waterfall?"

"No..."

The young soldier said one word, then changed his tone:

"Before you leave, could you check what’s happening over at the Divine Sound Waterfall?"

"Is there something strange?"

"Yes."

The young soldier nodded frankly:

"I can’t tell you the specifics, but when you meet the General, you can ask him.

"I can only say that it has a significant connection with the Celestial Evil Cult’s operations in Yu Lingbei."

"Oh?"

Ning Wufang stroked his chin:

"Alright, I’ll do it."

His eyes glanced around; the matters concerning him were rather complex. Even though the things he told the young soldier were true, they were not complete.

The reason he feigned capture, following them to the Celestial Sound Mansion, was with a purpose.

But the goal was unclear, he needed an opportunity.

The intelligence about the Divine Sound Waterfall was exactly the opportunity he had been seeking, so he agreed without hesitation.

The conversation between them ended there, and Ning Wufang placed the shackles back on his wrists to avoid exposing any flaws, then closed his eyes to rest, though he was actually trying to use his Inner Strength to unlock the acupoints within.

The acupoints sealed with Chu Qing’s Inner Strength from the Nine Chapters of Divine Jade were not easily deciphered.

For now, he could only painstakingly inch his way forward with patience...

...

...

Under the silent night sky, Han Yiren stood with hands behind his back, gazing at the stars, his face as calm as water.

Since he brought a large number of personnel to the Celestial Sound Mansion, several days had passed.

Initially, he came to hold them accountable as per the Celestial Evil Cult’s instructions.

Liu Zhaonian did not treat them coldly, instead warmly accommodating them at the Celestial Sound Mansion temporarily.

Regarding the Duan Clan’s matters, Liu Zhaonian merely deflected, talking around the issue.

Facing the Mansion Master of Celestial Sound Mansion, even the most unruly vagrants of the Martial World dared not provoke him.

Thus, everyone knew he was being deliberate, yet had no means to counter.

Han Yiren was somewhat grateful for this, as it allowed more time.

But as time slipped away, a nagging feeling of unease grew within him.

He couldn’t pinpoint its source, but felt as though he were suspended midair, powerless with every action...

No one knew if a sharp knife awaited him in the next moment.

At this instant, he found himself missing Chu Qing.

That elusive young man seemed to possess the ability to smooth out any situation.

Sadly, since parting at Xiaohan Valley, he had not seen him again... causing him to even doubt whether what was proposed then was merely a joke.

"To pin hopes on a young man met only once, I must be getting old."

He sighed deeply, just as he was about to turn around.

He heard a voice from behind:
