Hearing the commotion outside, Hou Juan raised her head and looked around.
At this moment, as the door to the dungeon opened, the surroundings gradually became brighter, and the surroundings gradually seemed to have some radiance.
Under the faint light, a figure walked in from the outside.
From her appearance, one could see that she was a tall woman.
She was wearing a long white dress. She was tall and beautiful. She walked over slowly and crossed a long distance to arrive in front of Hou Juan.
Hou Juan's expression couldn't help but turn solemn and her body tensed up subconsciously.
Even though they had only just met, she could already sense that the person in front of her was extraordinary through her inexplicable intuition.
This woman was very dangerous.
At that moment, Hou Juan thought to herself.
In the past, even though her talent was quite bad, she had a strange sense of her surroundings and could clearly sense things that ordinary people could not.
This kind of intuition was very strong and she rarely made mistakes.
At this moment, Hou Juan could feel an immense pressure emanating from this woman's body. That terrifying pressure was suffocating.
Her body tensed up as she warily looked at this woman.
"Someone from the Flowing Cloud Sect?"
Looking at the white-dressed woman standing there, Hou Juan's expression was filled with wariness as she spoke.
"Yes, but also no."
Standing outside the prison and looking at Hou Juan, the white-dressed woman gave a slight smile and said, "Miss Hou, it's been a long time."
"You know me?"
Hou Juan frowned, feeling quite surprised.
From this woman's words, she could sense that she had seen her somewhere before and was quite familiar with her.
The woman in front of him seemed to have seen her somewhere before, and she seemed to be very familiar with her.
Hearing Hou Juan's words, the woman smiled and said, "Indeed, we've known each other for quite some time.
Hearing Hou Juan's words, the woman smiled and said, "That's right, we've known each other for quite some time."
Hearing Hou Juan's words, the woman smiled and said, "Indeed, we've known each other for quite some time."
"As for you, perhaps you've seen me before but just did not remember me."
She said softly as she looked at Hou Juan.
"I don't think there's anything to observe about me."
Hou Juan frowned and looked at the woman with a serious expression, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator. To people like you, I'm no different from trash; what's there to observe?"
"Miss Hou, there's no need to belittle yourself."
In front of him, the woman smiled and then continued, "Indeed, the talent you've shown on the surface is very ordinary, and could even be said to be inferior."
"But believe me, you are far from as simple as you appear to be."
"In this world, there will always be some people who are destined to stand above mortals from birth. They will leave their names in the world."
"And Miss Hou, you are such a person."
Standing on the spot, a smile appeared on her face as she softly said, "Your body contains a tremendous amount of power. If you unleash it, it will be shocking."
"Really?"
Hearing his words, Hou Juan was stunned. Then, she laughed at herself, "I don't really understand what you're saying."
"However, with my current situation, do I still have the qualifications to talk about the future?"
She looked around at the tightly locked dungeon, then at the chains on her hands. She sneered and said, "Tell me, how are you going to deal with me?"
"I believe you didn't come here just to chat with me."
"What's your purpose? Just say it."
"Miss Hou, are you so sure that we will deal with you like this?"
In front of her, the woman in the white dress smiled as she spoke softly.
"What else?"
Hou Juan coldly laughed, "Could it be that you're going to let me out?"
She looked at the woman as she spoke.
When she spoke, she was just casually mocking them.
However, to her surprise, the woman in front of her nodded, and her expression became extremely solemn.
"That's exactly what I meant."
The woman in the white dress's expression was serious as she looked at Hou Juan and nodded.
Hearing this, Hou Juan felt quite startled.
"You …"
Looking at the woman's expression, she could not help but feel a bit hesitant.
If it was anyone else, she would definitely think that the other party was messing with her.
However, her instincts told her that what the other party said was true.
The other party was not lying; they really wanted to help her get out of this place.
Sensing this, she could not help but be slightly taken aback and was slightly surprised.
"There's no need to say anything unnecessary; there's no point in saying anything now."
In front of her, the woman smiled and said softly, "I'm sure that you'll understand in the future, Miss Hou.
As such, there's no need to be confused.
Right now, all you need to do is focus on thinking about how to leave this place. "
She said softly.
Hearing this, Hou Juan frowned and wanted to say something.
However, the woman in front of her once again spoke.
This time, her words caused Hou Juan's expression to change.
"There's another piece of news that I need to tell Miss Hou."
Standing there, the woman looked at Hou Juan with a smile, "A few days ago, the Flowing Cloud Sect's emissary came to Nine Peaks City to visit the Zhang clan.
The Zhang clan's leader will head to the Flowing Cloud Sect soon to meet with Miss Hou. "
She said softly.
Hearing this, Hou Juan's expression greatly changed.
"What?"
In that moment, Hou Juan's expression greatly changed as she stared at the woman, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang is coming to the Flowing Cloud Sect?"
"That's right."
In front of her, the woman's smile did not change as she lightly nodded, "Right now, the Zhang clan's leader is coming to the Flowing Cloud Sect; I'm sure you know why.
"That's right, he's here for you, Miss Hou.
"The Flowing Cloud Sect has summoned the Zhang clan's leader in Miss Hou's name and wants to meet him in the Flowing Cloud Sect.
"Once the Zhang clan's leader really comes, I'm sure Miss Hou knows what will happen."
"No!"
In front of him, Hou Juan shouted. At this time, she was inexplicably nervous.
Of course she knew what would happen.
With the Flowing Cloud Sect's personality, it was definitely not for anything good that they had summoned Chen Heng.
Once Chen Heng came, with her understanding of the Flowing Cloud Sect, the Guardian Formation would be activated and Chen Heng would be captured.
Thinking of this scene, she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. At this moment, she was indescribably horrified.
"No, I can't!"
She felt incredibly shocked as she thought to herself, "I'll deal with my own matters, but if I implicate Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang and the entire Zhang clan …"
Thinking to there, her face became pale.
She knew that if Chen Heng really was coming to the Flowing Cloud Sect, it would definitely be for her.
If it was not for her, Chen Heng would not be able to return to the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Did he not know what kind of place the Flowing Cloud Sect was to him?
As the Zhang clan's leader, he knew this better than anyone else. As such, no matter how much the Flowing Cloud Sect invited him, he had never gone.
But this time, he had relented and was prepared to come. It was all because of Hou Juan.
Once Chen Heng came, the Flowing Cloud Sect would definitely not let go of this opportunity and would capture him.
Once Chen Heng was captured by the Flowing Cloud Sect and their only Profound Understanding expert was captured, the remaining Zhang family would not be able to resist the Flowing Cloud Sect at all, and they would only be able to obediently wait to be captured.
Thinking to there, Hou Juan's face became incredibly pale, and her body was covered in cold sweat.
Instinctively, she looked at her waist.
There was a small knife there.
The small knife had been given to her by Chen Heng, and it was not a special magic tool. It was just a special souvenir, and Hou Juan had kept it all this time.
When the Flowing Cloud Sect had captured her, they had only sealed her magic energy and taken away her magic tools, but they had not taken away this small knife.
Looking at this small knife, Hou Juan's will became firm, and she seemed to have made some sort of decision.
"There's no need to seek death."
As if seeing through Hou Juan's thoughts, the woman in white smiled as she shook her head and said softly, "If you want to seek death, you'll bring disaster to others.
"But it's useless."
You're in the Flowing Cloud Sect; even if you die, what can you do?
As long as the Flowing Cloud Sect's people do not say anything, how will the Zhang clan's leader know of your death and stop? "
She smiled and said, "Seeking death is just a useless move. It will only be a waste of your life."
Hearing these words, Hou Juan calmed down and turned to look at the woman in front of her.
"You didn't come here to tell me this just to see my reaction, right?"
Her expression was serious as she stared at the woman, "Just what do you want to do?"
"Nothing much, I just want to help you."
The woman smiled as she said softly, "There's no need to seek death, and there's no need to think that we'll send a message for you.
Your only chance is to save yourself. "
"Save myself."
Hearing these words, a self-mocking look appeared on Hou Juan's face as she looked around, "Now that I'm trapped here, my magic energy has been sealed, and I'm no different from an ordinary person.
In my current state, how could it be easy for me to escape from the Flowing Cloud Sect? "
This was none other than the Flowing Cloud Sect.
With the Flowing Cloud Sect's strength, even if Hou Juan was at her peak, she would not be able to do much in this place.
This was already the case when she was at her peak, let alone now.
"That's why I'll help you."
Hearing Hou Juan's words, the woman chuckled. She then walked up slowly and placed a golden pill on the ground, just like that.
The medicinal pill was golden and had some strange inscriptions on it. It looked quite unique, and after coming close, one could even smell a faint medicinal fragrance.
Anyone who saw it would be able to tell that it was not an ordinary item.
"This is a One Qi Pill."
Looking at the confused look on Hou Juan's face, the woman softly explained, "If you take this pill, your strength will increase by one stage for two hours, and you will temporarily have the power of Profound Understanding."
"However, after two hours, you will be heavily injured, and even your Spirit Foundation will be damaged. Whether or not you can survive will depend on your fate."
Within two hours, it would have terrifying power that could raise one's cultivation by a level, but it would also cause one to be injured and have the danger of dying.
This kind of medicinal pill could be said to be suicidal.
Looking at the golden medicinal pill, Hou Juan's pupils constricted. However, after thinking for a moment, she stretched out her hand and took it.
"Not enough."
After accepting the One Qi Pill, she raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her, saying, "If that's all, you still won't be able to leave."
"Not bad."
The smile on the woman's face didn't change. She just nodded and said, "So, you will only have a chance in three days."
"Three days from now, it will be the time of the Sky Cloud Martial School's ceremony."
"At that time, there will be chaos in the Sky Cloud Martial School, and there will be a short period of time where we won't be able to scout around."
"At that time, it will be your chance."
She said softly.
Hearing her words, Hou Juan's expression gradually became serious, but in the end, she still nodded and said, "Okay."
Without a doubt, this was an extremely risky choice.
Wanting to truly escape from the Flowing Cloud Sect was extremely difficult. To put it bluntly, a slight carelessness could result in fatal danger.
But now, Hou Juan had no other choice.
In this place, the only thing she could do was to fight to the death.
"Then I will wait here for Miss Hou's good news."
Hearing Hou Juan's words, the woman lightly chuckled, then turned around and left.
She slowly walked out, her figure gradually disappearing from Hou Juan's line of sight as she left the place.
Hou Juan waited for the other party to leave before she relaxed and fell into deep thought.
"To be able to easily take out a spirit pill like the One Qi Pill and do such a thing in the Flowing Cloud Sect, just who are you?"
Thinking back to the conversation just then, she could not help but frown.
From just then, that person had seemed quite mysterious.
From the woman's previous words, it was clear that the woman knew her very well, to a certain extent.
Moreover, that person had the ability to cause chaos in the Flowing Cloud Sect and help her leave. In that case, helping her contact Chen Heng was a simple matter.
In other words, as long as that person was willing, she could easily contact Chen Heng.
However, that person had not done so and instead wanted to help her leave the Flowing Cloud Sect to personally deal with Chen Heng.
The meaning behind this caused one to be surprised and puzzled.
It was something that she could easily do, but she wanted someone else to do it.
Just why was she doing this?
Just what kind of plan did that person have?
At that moment, Hou Juan felt quite confused, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.
Outside.
Gao Yue walked out of the dungeon with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.
By the side, a female attendant looked quite confused.
