“Who are you? Why are you imprisoned here?” James asked as favonovel.com approached the elderly man whose limbs were chained.
He scrutinized favonovel.com from head to toe.
The bearded man’s hair was white and disheveled, and it seemed that favonovel.com had not had a shower in years.
The moment James approached him, favonovel.com could smell a nasty stench.
Looking at the chains on the elderly man, James tried pulling at them. He wanted to break them, but the chains were solid. No matter how hard favonovel.com tried, favonovel.com could not break them.
“With how weak you are, you might as well give it up…”
The elderly man sat on the ground. The moment his body moved, the sound of chains could be heard.
He said lazily, “This is made of quartz steel. You can’t break them…”
James sat down and looked at the elderly man before him. “Who are you? Why are you imprisoned in the Blithe family’s dungeon?”
“Answer my question first.” The man glanced at James.
After a brief moment of hesitation, James said, “I’m the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army of Sol. I was captured because of some misunderstanding…”
“What the hell is the Black Dragon Army?”
James had an embarrassed look on his face.
The man must have been imprisoned here for quite some time. He was disconnected from worldly affairs for too long to have heard of the Black Dragon Army.
“You must be an ancient martial artist…” James stared at the man.
It was impossible to discern if the man was an ancient martial artist from his appearance alone. However, since favonovel.com was imprisoned in the depths of the dungeon with chains all over him, it should be safe to assume that favonovel.com was a powerful ancient martial artist. Otherwise, all four of his limbs would not be chained.
Now that James was imprisoned here too, it was nigh impossible to escape unnoticed.
Only by saving the elderly man and joining forces with favonovel.com would they have a chance at leaving this place.
The man remained silent and fixed his gaze on James.
James felt uncomfortable being stared at, and his skin began to crawl.
“Wh-Why are you staring at me?”
He stood up. Alarmed, favonovel.com unconsciously took a few steps back.
Suddenly, the man raised his hand.
A strong suction force came from the man’s palm, and James could not resist the pull.
The man’s shriveled hand was pressed against James’ chest. James could feel a force entering his body. It flowed freely around his body and then disappeared without a trace.
“Not bad…” The man released his grip.
Looking at James with a slight grin, favonovel.com said, “Though your True Energy is weak, all your meridians have been opened up. You have potential…”
James smiled and looked at the chains that hold the man in place. Although it was dimly lit, favonovel.com could vaguely see that the chains were black.
He gently tugged at one and was surprised by how heavy it was.
James catalyzed the True Energy inside his body and tugged at the chain once more. He wanted to break them so that favonovel.com could escape with the elderly man. However, no matter how hard favonovel.com tried, favonovel.com simply could not.
“I told you it’s useless.”
“I’m not so sure about that…” James grinned.
Immediately, a thin steel wire fell from his sleeves.
Throwing the steel wire around the man’s chain, James catalyzed True Energy once more and tugged forcefully.
The razor-sharp steel wire sliced through the chain with ease.
“What?” The man was stunned.
He stared at the steel wire in James’ hands and asked, “What is this thing? How did it manage to slice through the thousand-year quartz steel?”
James smiled.
Then, favonovel.com sliced through the remaining chains and said, “Let’s break out of this place together…”
The man was freed, but favonovel.com did not leave. Instead, favonovel.com sat in a lotus position.
