Late at night, an ancient stone bridge appears quiet and mysterious in the moonlight. Below the bridge, the rushing water crashes against giant rocks, emitting a deep rumbling sound, like an ancient call.
Wuming stands at the bridgehead, gazing deeply into the space below as if searching for something. His voice sounds unusually deep in the night wind, carrying a hint of mystery: "Beneath that bridge, there is a hidden chamber."
Chin Feng Immediately focus attention, as if the eyes can penetrate the darkness, capturing every subtle anomaly. The figure is like a shooting star across the night sky, instantly arriving at the edge of the stone bridge. Bending down for a careful inspection, finally discovering a clever mechanism under an inconspicuous stone slab.
He takes a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination: "Let's go down and take a look."
The crowd followed Chin Feng into the secret chamber, which was filled with an ancient atmosphere. The light in the chamber was eerie and dim, and the air was permeated with the cold smell of rust, sending shivers down one's spine.
As Chin Feng and the others entered the chamber, a nauseating stench hit them. The light inside was dim but sufficient to see everything clearly.
The cold stone wall is covered with heavy iron chains, and there are some dim lights scattered on the ground. Gradually, one small cell after another comes into view.
Inside, there are hundreds of prisoners, men, women, and children, some with physical disabilities, some with haggard faces. Their eyes are dull, as if they have lost their souls.
Next to each prison cell stands a figure in a black robe, holding a long whip with a cold and merciless gaze. The prisoners are occasionally forced to ingest some strange potion, causing their eyes to become more vacant and their bodies to emit a faint blue light.
Chin Feng's heart clenched tightly. These people, once fellow martial artists, are now being treated in such a manner by the Shadow Sect. His fingers involuntarily tightened around the hilt of his sword, its tip emitting a faint whistling sound.
Wuming held Chin Feng's shoulder, his calm and profound gaze seeming to see through everything.
"Do not act recklessly, or all previous efforts will be in vain," Wuming's voice was as deep as a cello, each word carrying a sense of calm strength.
Chin Feng nodded slightly, but still held the sword handle tightly. Heart Ocean Cleansing Wave Technique was activated, allowing him to quickly assess the surrounding situation. The black-clothed individuals all exhibited powerful internal energy fluctuations, indicating their extraordinary martial arts skills.
"I understand how you feel, but you must stay calm," said Wuming with a determined look. "The influence of Shadow Sect runs deep. These people have all been fed a poison that controls their minds. We can't save them in the short term. Our most important task now is to uncover the true purpose of Shadow Sect.
Chin Feng tightly gripped the sword hilt, a hint of tears flashing in his eyes. He understood that Wuming's words were true, but the pain and anger in his heart made it impossible for him to calm down.
Chin Feng scanned every face, finally stopping at a familiar figure. Chiflame, his comrade and also the one who betrayed him, was unexpectedly caught up in it as well.
The fiery eyes were still empty, and there were still scars from the previous battle on the body.
"These people..." Dei Wu trembled as she spoke, tears streaming down her face as she looked at the prisoners, reminded of the pain of her own past.
Lingling remained composed, but a hint of sorrow and indignation could be seen in her cold, distant eyes.
A group of people slowly exited the secret room, leaving behind the pitiful prisoners and a deep darkness.
As the door closed tightly, Chin Feng's heart was also tightly shut. From this moment on, his battle was no longer for personal grievances, but for the justice and future of the entire martial arts world.
He clenched his fists, a determined glint in his eyes. He would uncover all the secrets of Shadow Sect and surely rescue those poor souls.
How many dark secrets does Shadow Sect still hold? At this moment, they only see the tip of the iceberg.
Wuming's eyes revealed a hint of determination in the cold light.
"We will come back soon to save them," he said to Chin Feng.
Chin Feng nodded and wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes.
After they left not long after, in a small cell near the nearby red flame, a little sister about seven or eight years old suddenly spoke up.
"Shi Feng brother, are you feeling better?" Her face was covered with dirt, but her eyes were clear and bright.
"En, I'm almost better, Xiao Zhi, don't worry," Shi Feng comforted.
Xiao Zhi smiled, a smile that revealed a disturbing innocence. "Brother Shi Feng, you must take care of yourself."
Shi Feng glanced at Xiao Zhi, feeling a pang in his heart. The cruelty of this world was something she was still too young and innocent to fully comprehend. But he also knew that he couldn't continue with this vague attitude.
His heart suddenly grew heavy as he pondered what plans Shadow Sect had for him and how it would affect the actions of Chin Feng and Wuming.
Shi Feng's heart felt as if it were being weighed down by a huge stone, instantly filled with countless questions and worries. Shadow Sect is so cunning and deceitful, who knows if they will use Xiaozhi to threaten him? Or perhaps, they have even more sinister schemes?
"Brother Shi Feng, what are you thinking about?" Xiaozhi's voice brought Shi Feng back to reality.
"I'm thinking... I'm thinking about how we can escape from here," Shi Feng tightly clenched his fists, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
Listening, Xiao Zhi's eyes gradually became despondent, but she still smiled and said, " Shi Feng brother, I know you are very powerful, you will definitely find a way."
Shi Feng A warm feeling surged in his heart as he looked into the clear eyes of Xiaozhi, feeling as though he had regained something he had lost. Suddenly, he understood that it was because of this purity and trust that he could not afford to fail.
Shi Feng A surge of determination rose from the depths of his heart, no matter the cost, he had to protect Xiaozhi.
