Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 629 - 608: Second Update

Zong Yunqian finally found a way to enter the dungeon, and it seemed like luck was on his side—right when he arrived outside the dungeon, he saw countless bones of the Disciples of Ghoul Ravine strewn on the ground.

Zong Yunqian knew more about this monster than Ju Nanyi did. It was originally removed from Yin He’s body, and his master had attached a spell to it, a spell that would be activated at a specific time.

Moreover, looking at the current situation, releasing the monster had been the right move by his master.

Without any hesitation, Zong Yunqian wrapped himself in an extremely ugly and foul-smelling black robe—Gu Dao and Xi Feng were also draped in similar robes.

The truth was that breaking into the dungeon wasn’t very difficult. Considering the people from Ghoul Ravine could enter, and this was Bu Er Temple, which originally belonged to Qiandao Temple, it was naturally possible to find a way to disguise themselves.

Furthermore, the robes were covered in the aura of the Disciples of Ghoul Ravine, and obtaining this disguise was effortless. Just as Zong Yunqian had anticipated, the trio successfully entered the dungeon without arousing any suspicion.

Now, Zong Yunqian immediately quickened his pace, but to his surprise, there were no Disciples of Ghoul Ravine guarding inside the dungeon. His amazement gave way to unease, prompting him to check carefully. Only after confirming that no one was there did Zong Yunqian proceed deeper into the dungeon with suspicion.

However, Zong Yunqian was certain that there had been guards in the dungeon last time. Could it be that the released monster was truly feared by the Ghoul Ravine?

It wasn’t until he saw the rows of cells that Zong Yunqian dismissed other thoughts and sped up his steps.

"Master—"

Zong Yunqian suddenly stopped, feeling disbelief for a moment. Standing before him was truly his master, and even though it was just a blurred silhouette in the cell, Zong Yunqian could tell that Master Huo Yi had become thinner—in just this short time...

Zong Yunqian’s cry for his master immediately drew the attention of all the Disciples of Qiandao Temple in the dungeon. The next moment, many disciples had already risen to their feet.

"Brother Yunqian—"

"Junior Yunqian—"

Master Yu Sheng’s call reached out, and Zong Yunqian immediately stepped forward, unwilling to believe that the dungeon held Disciples of Qiandao Temple. His heart began to grasp the grim reality—could it be that only these people before his eyes remained from Qiandao Temple?

A surge of sorrow welled up in Zong Yunqian’s heart.

"Yunqian, you have come." Master Huo Yi finally spoke. With that, Zong Yunqian took two steps forward and knelt outside the cell with a thud.

"Master, I’m late, you have suffered," Zong Yunqian said, his voice already choking up.

"Junior brother, your arrival is timely—" Upon seeing Zong Yunqian, Master Yu Sheng immediately spoke. They were in need of help, and Zong Yunqian’s arrival was incredibly timely.

"Senior brother—" Zong Yunqian’s eyes reddened. This dungeon had trapped the master and his senior brother, and clearly, there was a formation within the dungeon, slowly draining Qiandao Temple’s power. He couldn’t find a solution, but seeing the condition of all his fellow disciples, it seemed likely that none had the strength to fight anymore. No wonder those who were dragged out were in such a helpless predicament.

"Let’s not talk about that for now, junior brother, how did you get in here?" Indeed, this was what they needed to figure out most urgently. If they attempted to break out of the dungeon by force, it would cost them too many casualties, besides having more pressing matters to attend to once outside. Yet, Zong Yunqian managed to walk in unharmed.

Zong Yunqian was startled, then immediately remembered his purpose for coming, and took a step forward to pull at the cell door. Was it open?

"Master, I have found a way out," Zong Yunqian immediately said. Did this mean that his master and the others had also tried to find a way out but were trapped because the spells were too powerful?

Upon hearing this, Master Huo Yi immediately looked at Zong Yunqian and then nodded the next moment.

"Good, good, good, it seems heaven hasn’t abandoned our Qiandao Temple," Master Huo Yi stood up. "Yunqian, what’s the situation outside?"

What Master Huo Yi cared about the most was the situation outside, as it would determine whether they could leave this place.

"Master, it’s strange to say, but it seems that a fierce battle took place at the dungeon entrance. There are many skeletons of the Disciples of Ghoul Ravine." Seeing his master’s response, he was almost entirely sure in his heart. It seemed that his master’s plan had worked.

Master Huo Yi nodded, and the fact that Zong Yunqian could enter so easily said it all.

"Yu Sheng, tell all the disciples that it is time for us to leave now." Master Huo Yi glanced at the robe on Zong Yunqian’s body and immediately came up with the method by which Zong Yunqian had entered. Admiring his pupil’s clever spirit, Zong Yunqian nodded approvingly.

"Master, let me take you out first," Zong Yunqian said. Glancing at Gu Dao and Xi Feng, the two immediately understood their Princely Heir’s intention, promptly opened the other prison cells, and wrapped Master Yu Sheng and another disciple of Qiandao Temple in cloaks to exit the dungeon.

With each trip, the disciples of Qianddao Temple in the dungeon were all rescued. Master Huo Yi activated protective spells for all the disciples, rapidly restoring the energy of everyone inside the dungeon.

Zong Yunqian remained highly vigilant, watching the surroundings closely, but oddly enough, for such a long time, not a single disciple from Ghoul Ravine appeared, which puzzled him greatly.

Was that entity really so terrifying, so difficult to deal with?

He was clearer about Yin He’s strength than anyone else, but since that thing originally belonged to that man, could it be...

"Don’t worry, Master said that when he sealed that evil creature, he placed a spell on it. The longer the time, the tighter its control would be, but it hasn’t been triggered yet." Master Yu Sheng whispered. Only then did he understand that, to his surprise, Zong Yunqian had released it.

Hearing this, Zong Yunqian nodded with relief.

"Master is worried that after the entity wipes out Ghoul Ravine, it would still cause harm to the world. So we’re waiting for the right moment to gain control over this creature. If possible, we’ll seal it again. Once our powers are fully restored, we’ll be able to get rid of it completely..." As Master Yu Sheng elaborated, Zong Yunqian nodded. It turned out his master had already planned for what would come next.

Master Huo Yi, however, was not so optimistic. Even at the peak of his power, he had only managed to seal that creature. Now, with not even half of his strength recovered, it was nearly impossible to seal it again.

But since he was the one who had released it, he felt responsible for giving the world an explanation.

Master Huo Yi looked around at the disciples of Qiandao Temple. At that moment, excitement covered each face for having been rescued, yet they had completely forgotten about the words he had said in the prison.

But Master Huo Yi was not in a hurry. He had unwavering faith in the character of the disciples of Qiandao Temple—they would surely stand up when the time came.

"Master, what do we do next?" Zong Yunqian asked.

"Don’t rush, let’s wait—," Master Huo Yi closed his eyes. At this moment, he could clearly sense that the entity was in these mountains and its strength was beyond his expectations.
