So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Ling Jiuan's eyes searched every corner, but this secret room was more complicated than she had expected, and she couldn't find the mechanism at all.

"The design of the secret room of the Yu family is truly breathtaking."

No agency?

Lei Tingyi, who was standing aside, was calm and composed.

He slowly walked to the center of the secret room, crossed his legs, closed his eyes and concentrated, and gently clasped his hands together.

Seeing this, Ling Jiuan couldn't help but feel confused.

"What are you doing? Is this the way to find a way out?"

Lei Tingyi did not answer immediately, but just curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, and a faint light gradually appeared around him.

Then, circles of complex runes emerged around him, interweaving into an ancient formation pattern, emitting a faint glow.

"This is……"

Ling Jiuan widened his eyes in surprise.

"The secret technique of the Yu family is called the 'Spiritual Awakening Formation'."

Lei Tingyi slowly opened his eyes.

"Back then, Yu Lingxi taught it to me personally. This formation can see through the mechanism and open the hidden door."

At that time, they were just a pure brother and sister relationship.

Before he finished his words, the formation shone brightly, the ground suddenly shook, and a seemingly ordinary stone slab slowly sank, revealing a hidden door.

Lei Tingyi stood up, waved his sleeves lightly, injected spiritual power into the door, and the door opened silently.

Behind the door, a deep secret passage meanders away and disappears into the darkness.

He turned and looked at Ling Jiuan.

"How is it? Is this secret passage hidden?"

Ling Jiuan looked at the secret passage that suddenly appeared and was amazed.

"It is really extremely secretive. If it weren't for you, even if I accidentally entered this secret room, I might not be able to open the door. The secret technique of the Yu family is indeed extraordinary."

A family that has existed for thousands of years would probably have been glorious forever if it had not chosen the wrong path.

It’s a pity that there is no “if” in this world.

The two looked at each other, and without further ado, they stepped into the secret passage one after the other.

Inside the secret passage, it was pitch dark, with only the light footsteps of two people echoing in the narrow space.

As they went deeper and deeper, an inexplicable feeling of oppression gradually enveloped their hearts, and the clinking sound of the iron chains added a bit of eeriness.

Ling Jiuan held the torch tightly, his brows furrowed.

"This place... doesn't seem simple."

I wonder if the dungeon of Lei Xiao Sect is also so depressing.

Lei Tingyi followed closely behind with a serious look on his face.

"Mr. Wei, this man was extremely ambitious and had great ambitions. Fortunately, he has been brought to justice. Otherwise, there would be countless more disputes in this world."

Finally, the two came to a spacious dungeon. Under the light of the fire, the scene in the dungeon was chilling.

The half-human, half-beast Manwu had his scapula cruelly pierced and his body was bound tightly with thick iron chains, making him unable to move.

Its eyes were originally dull, but the moment it saw the two people, they were instantly ignited with hatred.

"Cunning human! How dare you break into my territory! And imprison me here!"

Ling Jiuan walked forward slowly, his voice calm.

"Are you Manwu? We are not here to cause trouble, but we need your help with something."

"Your descendants are now rioting. We will take you out. You can then take them to a good place where no one will interfere with each other."

When Manwu heard this, he was a little surprised, but then he became deeply vigilant.

"Humans, I never believe your sweet words. What is your purpose in coming here?"

Seeing this, Lei Tingyi took a step forward.

"We are here to prevent a bigger disaster."

"It's also for your best friend, Lingjun."

Manwu was silent for a moment, as if weighing the words of the two.

For a time, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Finally, Manwu spoke slowly.

"If what you say is true, I might consider cooperating with you. But before that, you must prove your sincerity."

Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi exchanged glances and tacitly took out the giant snake scales from their arms.

Ling Jiuan gently raised the scales, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

She was also afraid that Manwu would not remember Lingjun.

Manwu's eyes, which were originally filled with murderous intent, instantly widened when he saw the scales.

"Lingyun's scales?! What...what did you do to her?!"

Seeing this, Ling Jiuan felt nervous and hurried to explain.

"You misunderstood. We didn't hurt her. Lingyun is fine now. She is on the spiritual vein. She couldn't leave, so she gave us this scale as a token and asked us to find you."

Fortunately, I still remember it!

After hearing this, the murderous intent in Manwu's eyes gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a complex emotion.

He took a deep breath.

"Is she...is she okay now?"

Ling Jiuan nodded slightly.

"She is fine, still as beautiful as a flower, and the fire moss on her spirit vein has also increased a lot because of her. She is living a peaceful life."

Upon hearing this, Manwu breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He lowered his head, a hint of self-mockery in his voice.

"It was also because of my stupidity that I trusted the treacherous person, which led to this and the failure of my promise to her."

Lei Tingyi spoke softly.

"Now, the most important thing for us is how to get out of here. Manwu, are you willing to cooperate with us?"

Manwu raised his head.

"As long as it's for Lingyun, I'm willing to do anything."

Ling Jiuan's gaze fell on Manwu.

"We will remove the seals and shackles on you now. You need to go with us to subdue the wild beasts that have gone riot because of Mr. Wei's fire. The Wild Beast Forest has been burned down. After everything calms down, you can find another place to live. But before that, if you can ensure that your people will not harm innocent people, we can..."

Manwu interrupted her when he heard this.

"No need. I will rebuild the Savage Beast Forest myself. Don't worry, I will make sure they stay in their new home and never cause any more trouble for the world."

After hearing this, Ling Jiuan nodded with satisfaction.

She quickly pulled out a sharp dagger from her waist, and in a flash, she appeared beside Manwu.

She just shook her wrist, and the dagger accurately cut the chain that passed through Manwu's scapula. Her movements were clean and neat, without any delay.

The moment the chain broke, Manwu's body trembled violently and he was finally freed from the long-lasting restraints.

He looked at Ling Jiuan with gratitude.

"Thank you!"

Ling Jiuan quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill that emitted a faint medicinal fragrance, and handed it to Manwu.

"Your condition is not good, take a pill first!"

Manwu didn't hesitate and swallowed it in one gulp, with a look of relief on his face.

At the same time, Lei Tingyi also started his action.

He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and concentrated, and a faint light gradually appeared around him.

As he chanted the spell, a powerful spiritual power gathered at his fingertips and then shot towards the sealing formation on Manwu's body.

With a loud bang, the sealing formation collapsed instantly under the impact of Lei Tingyi's spiritual power, turning into specks of light and dissipating in the air.

Manwu's body also shook, and his aura instantly became stronger.

"Thank you very much. Once I get out of this place, I'll go see my kids."
