Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1231: The Dungeon

Lü Donglin said, ”Actually, it can’t be considered their weakness, but rather something that every big family has. Especially the big families in the Capital City, it’s even more so.”

”What is the situation?” Su Yang quickly asked, his heart racing with excitement upon Lü Donglin’s fervent tone.

”It’s like this...” Lü Donglin said, ”The big families in Capital City aren’t immutable and without enemies. On the contrary, to become a major family that stands tall in a place like Capital City, they definitely have many enemies. And among these enemies, many have deep-seated hatred for them. These people, after being captured by these big families, aren’t killed off directly. Instead, many of them are locked up in the dungeons established by these families. They are usually secured with their Pipa Bones locked and their entire strength sealed with silver needles, unable to escape, and they suffer all kinds of torture within so that these families can feel the pleasure of revenge.”

Su Yang’s eyes lit up; he understood what Lü Donglin was getting at.

”Are you saying, to release all the people from these dungeons?” Su Yang quickly asked.

”Not only do you have to release them all, but the key point is, their strength must also be restored!” Lü Donglin said, ”Otherwise, just releasing them with their strength unrecovered will still pose no threat!”

”What’s their current state?” Su Yang immediately inquired.

”Most of them just have their Pipa Bones locked and all their meridians sealed. So, neither external nor internal strength can be used,” Lü Donglin explained. ”Even if these shackles are removed, their meridians would be nearly withered, and it wouldn’t be easy for them to recover their strength. It will likely take a lot of time.”

Su Yang pondered quickly over the situation described by Lü Donglin. Silver needles blocking one’s entire strength essentially made these people ordinary humans. Furthermore, their physical strength was gone, locked by iron chains on their Pipa Bones.

In this condition, even removing the silver needles and fetters wouldn’t restore their strength. Otherwise, these people could simply reach out and pull out the silver needles themselves. Why bother making such efforts?

In fact, Su Yang could be certain that the sealing of their meridians was not done by ordinary methods but through a chain reaction. All their meridians were interconnected, and the silver needles were under a tensile state.

Impulsively removing the silver needles wouldn’t only fail to restore their strength but might even destroy their meridians permanently, turning these people into complete invalids.

The intentions of these big families were obvious; they didn’t want these enemies to die immediately, losing the chance to torment them, and thus missing out on the thrill of vengeance. Nor did they want these people to entirely lose their strength because once completely powerless, they would be no different from invalids or the dead, hence, lessening the satisfaction derived from their torment.

Thus, they simply sealed their strength with this method, allowing these people to maintain a glimmer of hope. The more hope they had, the more satisfying it felt for their tormentors to exact vengeance.

Yet for the individuals confined in the dungeons, despite their hope, it was extremely slim. This technique of sealing with silver needles was virtually unsolvable. Even if they did manage to remove these needles, their damaged meridians would take a long time to fully recover their strength. By then, these big families would have noticed and recaptured them.

Therefore, from a common standpoint, even if these people were freed from the dungeons and rescued, it would not be of significant meaning.

However, that was for the average person. To Su Yang, this matter wasn’t too troublesome.

Within the Destiny’s Tome, there were records on this method of sealing with silver needles, and Su Yang was capable of unsealing these meridians.

But the hardest part was to enable these people to recover their strength quickly. Only with their rapid recovery could they escape the grasp of those families, and even start retaliating against them, alleviating the pressure on Su Yang.

After some thought, Su Yang said gravely, ”Brother Lü, I really have something I need your help with!”

”You just say it!” Lü Donglin immediately responded, ”If necessary, I can help you open up the dungeons of some families right now!”

”No need for that,” Su Yang shook his head, ”Doing it now would only alert them, making it difficult for me to act later tonight. Moreover, these families’ dungeons aren’t so easy to open up, right?”

”That’s true!” Lü Donglin agreed, ”Usually, each big family’s dungeon houses very dangerous individuals and is heavily guarded. Basically, each family’s dungeon is guarded by a Terrestrial Immortal. You want to open up the dungeons, it’s really not easy. However, the situation might be better at night since these Terrestrial Immortals will come out looking for you, the families’ defenses will be lowered, and perhaps there won’t be any Terrestrial Immortals guarding the dungeons.”

Su Yang nodded; this was a crucial part of his plan. He needed those Earth Immortals to come out so he could act when the dungeons were unguarded.

”Then, what help do you need from me?” Lü Donglin immediately asked, ”Whether it’s to distract these people or to kill a few, it’s all fine by me!”

Su Yang laughed. Lü Donglin was truly loyal, seemingly eager to take on those of Capital City this very night.

”None of that is necessary,” Su Yang said, ”I need some Spiritual Medicine. Can you help me find some?”

”Spiritual Medicine?” Lü Donglin was taken aback before saying, ”No problem. What do you need? I’ll have my uncle charter a plane to send it over right away. We don’t have much else in the Northern Three Provinces, but Spiritual Medicine, we never lack!”

Su Yang didn’t engage in pleasantries with Lü Donglin, listing more than a dozen names of Spiritual Medicine he needed, and he required them in large quantities.

Lü Donglin took note of all the names and spoke without wasting words, ”They’ll all be delivered to you in two hours.”

”Thank you very much!” Su Yang said sincerely.

The Beigong War God’s location was an hour and a half away from the Capital City by plane. Lü Donglin arranging to have all the Spiritual Medicine delivered in two hours seemed simple, but in reality, it was bound to be a hectic affair for the Beigong War God’s side.

”Let’s not talk about that now. If you really want to thank me, just refine a batch of Elixirs for me later,” Lü Donglin said with a laugh, ”I’m going to take all my uncle’s stock; you should let me bring something back in return!”

”No problem!” Su Yang laughed heartily, ”My Divine Physicians Alliance isn’t short on all sorts of Elixirs!”

Lü Donglin laughed uproariously, not being pretentious, and immediately hung up the phone to arrange the matter.
