"Please follow me, Elder."

Upon hearing that Lei Weiyue was here to check on the scattered cultivators, the head guard politely invited her into the dungeon.

They passed through a long corridor and arrived at the first dungeon cell.

Lei Weiyue peered through a small window in the iron door and looked inside.

The cell was spacious, with at least a hundred people held within. All of them were shackled by chains, unable to move, and their mouths were sealed with spiritual energy, preventing them from speaking.

"After being imprisoned for so long, their cultivation hasn't regressed, has it?" Lei Weiyue asked softly.

"Rest assured, Elder. Every once in a while, we feed them spirit-nourishing pills and pills to restore their spiritual energy. Their cultivation has not been affected," the head guard responded.

"Good," Lei Weiyue nodded. "Show me the others."

Under the head guard's guidance, they continued deeper into the dungeon.

"Where is Zhou Siyi being held?" Lei Weiyue suddenly stopped and asked in a soft voice.

"Zhou Siyi?" The head guard looked confused. "Who is she? Is she one of the scattered cultivators we captured?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Weiyue's heart skipped a beat.

"Could my assumption be wrong? Is Zhou Siyi not in the dungeon?" Lei Weiyue thought to herself.

But soon, she realized another possibility.

Zhou Siyi could still be in the dungeon, but the guards didn't recognize her.

Lei Weiyue's expression turned serious, and she whispered.

"I made a careless mistake earlier. I shouldn't have mentioned that name. Remember, the name 'Zhou Siyi' must not be spoken outside."

Seeing Lei Weiyue's serious tone, the head guard was confused but nodded solemnly.

Then, Lei Weiyue continued speaking.

"About half a year ago, the family head personally brought in a female cultivator. She was young and beautiful, at the Golden Core stage."

Upon hearing this, the head guard's eyes brightened, clearly recognizing the description.

"Indeed, there is such a person in the dungeon, locked up in the deepest cell."

"Take me to see her." Lei Weiyue spoke without hesitation.

The guard hesitated. "But, Elder, the family head specifically ordered that no one is to approach her without his permission."

Lei Weiyue replied, "I'm sure you've guessed it. This person is of great importance to our Lei family, and we cannot afford any mistakes. The family head is worried that she might have thoughts of self-harm after being locked up for so long, so he sent me to check on her condition."

The head guard looked troubled, torn between the family head's orders and the fear of offending Lei Weiyue.

"I am the head of the Lei family's Law Enforcement Hall. Do you still not trust me?" Lei Weiyue's tone became somewhat irritable.

After weighing the situation, the head guard finally nodded.

"Alright, but I can only take you to the outside of the cell. You cannot enter."

"That's fine," Lei Weiyue agreed.

Under the head guard's guidance, they passed through the long corridor and reached the deepest part of the dungeon, where there was a solitary, heavily reinforced cell.

Lei Weiyue peered through the small window in the iron door.

Inside, a woman sat quietly. Her face appeared somewhat haggard, but her clear and delicate features were still evident.

Song Wen had previously shown Lei Weiyue a portrait of Zhou Siyi, and the woman in the cell looked exactly like the portrait.

"Do you have the token to open the cell door?" Lei Weiyue suddenly asked.

The head guard was startled and took a step back.

"Elder Weiyue, you promised not to enter the cell."

A cold smile appeared on Lei Weiyue's lips.

"Looks like the token is with you."

Before he could respond, Lei Weiyue slapped her palm onto the back of the guard's neck.

The guard immediately crumpled to the ground.

Lei Weiyue swiftly removed the storage ring from his hand, and her powerful spiritual sense surged like a flood, erasing the guard's spiritual mark in just a few moments.

Moments later, she held a black token the size of a palm.

Lei Weiyue infused her spiritual power into the token, and a flash of blue light appeared on the iron door as its defensive formation was broken.

"Click!"

The iron door opened slightly.

Lei Weiyue held onto the guard with one hand and pushed the door open with the other.

Zhou Siyi, disturbed by the sound of the door, instinctively turned her head to look.

She initially thought it was Lei Jun who had come.

During the six months of her imprisonment, Lei Jun had frequently visited the dungeon to persuade her to switch her cultivation to the "Longevity Technique."

Zhou Siyi knew that the Lei family had ulterior motives, and at first, she had refused.

However, after repeated persuasion with no results, Lei Jun began to use more forceful methods.

Unable to withstand the torture, Zhou Siyi was eventually forced to give in.

Zhou Siyi glanced at Lei Weiyue and the guard who had been dragged in and warily asked, "Who are you?"

"I am here to save you," Lei Weiyue replied.

Zhou Siyi didn't easily believe her. "Why do you want to save me?"

"It's someone named 'Wu Sheng' who sent me to rescue you," Lei Weiyue said.

"Wu Sheng?"

After a brief moment of confusion, Zhou Siyi finally remembered who "Wu Sheng" was.

It was a name that hadn't been mentioned in over a hundred years.

"Junior Brother Wu!" Zhou Siyi's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement. "Junior Brother Wu is still alive? Did he really send you to save me?"

"Your questions are too many," Lei Weiyue coldly said. "I don't have time to waste here in the dungeon."

"I can't afford to waste any more time."

As she spoke, Zhou Siyi stood up, and a loud 'clang' echoed from the ground beneath her feet.

The sound came from a chain that was wrapped around her right leg, extending up to her abdomen.

The end of the chain pierced into her dantian.

What was strange was that the chain had not damaged her dantian, but if it were forcibly pulled out, her dantian would definitely be destroyed.

Lei Weiyue's expression became solemn as she watched the chain.

She knew that with her cultivation, she couldn't simply cut through the chain.

In fact, doing so might cause a huge commotion, drawing the attention of the guards.

She was so close to rescuing Zhou Siyi, and Lei Weiyue was unwilling to give up now.

If Zhou Siyi couldn't be saved, they would both die.

"I'm sorry."

Lei Weiyue's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she reached out for the end of the chain.

Zhou Siyi immediately realized what Lei Weiyue was about to do. Though she was frightened, she made no move to resist and allowed Lei Weiyue to proceed.

Forcibly removing the chain would certainly destroy her cultivation and could even cost her life. However, it was better than dying in the Lei family's hands.

Besides, if she could at least meet 'Junior Brother Wu' before dying, it would be worth it.

Lei Weiyue gripped the chain tightly and pulled with all her might. The bloodstained chain quickly came out.

The flesh and blood at the wound were pulled and torn as the chain was drawn out.

Zhou Siyi clenched her teeth to prevent any groans of pain from escaping.

"Boom!"

With a heavy sound, the chain was completely pulled out and fell to the ground.

Zhou Siyi swayed, unable to endure the excruciating pain, and nearly collapsed.

Blood poured from the wound, continuously flowing.

Along with the blood, Zhou Siyi's strength and the spiritual power from her dantian began to drain away.

However, most of her spiritual energy was concentrated in her Golden Core, so the flow wasn't rapid.
