The footsteps grew closer, and a man dressed in a long robe embroidered with gold and jade appeared at the prison entrance. In the dim light, his face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly, yet it exuded a chilling aura.

"grown ups!"

The middle-aged man in black robes stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His voice trembled slightly, "I am currently interrogating these stubborn prisoners."

The richly dressed man casually touched his cuffs, his gaze sweeping over every corner of the cell like a hawk's, not missing a single detail.

"No need," his voice was low and cold. "I sensed someone infiltrating the dungeon, hiding like a rat. Have you found them?"

"What? Someone has infiltrated?" The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat poured down his back. "I will immediately send men to investigate thoroughly and find that scoundrel!"

The man in fine clothes shook his head, a chilling smile playing on his lips. "No need. That person is right here, like a frightened fawn, trembling in the darkness."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword aura ripped through the deathly silence, heading straight for his throat. Lu Lingxi knew she had been exposed, so she simply stopped hiding. She drew her Flying Snow Sword, its chilling aura emanating from her body, and a fierce killing intent emanated from her.

"Interesting." The man in fine clothes remained calm and unhurried, simply raising his hand, and the sharp sword energy vanished like bubbles.

"As expected of someone who survived a spatial rift, you certainly have some skill." His mockery deepened.

A spatial rift? Lu Lingxi was startled. Could he be the City Lord of Cloud City? Suppressing her shock, she coldly questioned, "Where are you keeping Rong Zhi and the others? Speak!"

"So you came for them." The city lord chuckled, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Unfortunately, with your current strength, you are not qualified to know this secret."

Before she finished speaking, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended, and the entire dungeon seemed to tremble. The stone walls cracked, the ground fissured, and the iron chains rattled. Lu Lingxi felt it was difficult to breathe, as if a mountain was pressing on her chest, and her bones made cracking sounds as if they could not bear the weight.

At this critical moment, the jade pendant in her hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, completely dissolving the oppressive aura.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the city lord's eyes. "Yuheng's aura? It seems you have some interesting figures behind you. This game is getting more and more interesting."

Taking advantage of this brief respite, Lu Lingxi quickly took out a pill from her bosom and swallowed it. The pill melted instantly in her mouth, and a scorching heat spread throughout her body, as if a raging fire had ignited within her.

Her aura surged, the Flying Snow Sword hummed, and a thick layer of frost condensed on its surface, the ice crystals shimmering with a magnificent light in the dim light.

"Today, let me experience the strength of the dignified City Lord of Cloud Sky City!" Lu Lingxi said, her eyes blazing.

A hint of amusement flashed in the city lord's eyes. He vanished from his spot in a flash, and the next moment, he appeared behind Lu Lingxi Yao and struck her back with a palm.

Lu Lingxi reacted quickly, thrusting her sword out with a backhand. The tip of the sword collided with the city lord's palm, producing a piercing metallic clang.

The city lord flashed again, appearing at the other end of the cell. He looked at Lu Lingxi with interest, "Interesting. You actually managed to block one of my palms. But do you think you can defeat me like this?"

Lu Lingxi ignored his taunts. She wielded the Flying Snow Sword like the wind, its sword energy crisscrossing, and the power of ice spread out, enveloping the entire prison in a world of ice and snow.

The city lord frowned slightly, clearly surprised by Lu Lingxi's strength. He formed a hand seal, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body, transforming into golden blades of light that attacked Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi Yao's figure was elusive, weaving through the gaps in the light blades. With each swing of her Flying Snow Sword, she shattered the incoming light blades.

In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed the dungeon, and ice and golden light intertwined, as if two powerful forces were colliding and producing a deafening roar.

Just then, the dungeon's dome suddenly cracked open, revealing a huge black hole in the air. A powerful suction force emanated from it, pulling everything inside the cell in, including Lu Lingxi and the city lord.
