The third young master smiled and took the small cart from the young man's hand, hurrying towards the dungeon.

The boy watched the back of the third young master, truly feeling a bit envious. After all, regardless of whom he apprentices with, in the future, he would become a person of Tianya Haijiao, at least no longer having to do such hard and tiring work.

Looking around at the people, the boy immediately acted as if nothing was the matter. He knew very well that if the third young master truly succeeded in apprenticing, his status would certainly elevate in the future. If he helped the third young master this time, the third young master would surely look after him in the future, and that was what mattered most.

So, the boy also resolved that for this matter regarding the third young master, he would definitely give his full support and also help the third young master conceal it, so no one else would find out.

Over there, the third young master pushed the small cart to the back dungeon.

This dungeon was much smaller compared to the one within the Major Sect of Tianya Haijiao. But in fact, there weren't many people who needed to be confined here now.

The last time Su Yang opened the dungeon of Tianya Haijiao, everyone inside escaped.

Those who hadn't been crippled naturally regained their Land Immortal power. And when the Investiture of the Gods descended, these people were also taken away.

Those who had been crippled or hadn't reached the Land Immortal Realm yet, initially enjoyed freedom for a while. But after the Investiture of the Gods took away the deities, they were caught by Tianya Haijiao again and confined in this dungeon, a truly miserable fate.

The third young master pushed the small cart here, and several dungeon guards glanced at him, one of them full of impatience, "Why so slow? Are you all pigs? What are you doing?"

The third young master lowered his head, not daring to speak, efficiently serving the food onto the table.

The dungeon guards cursed while starting to eat, and the third young master stood by with his hands low; he still had to wait for these people to finish eating and clean up before he could leave.

If the boy witnessed this scene, he would surely be very surprised. Because, the attitude of these people towards the third young master was not friendly at all; there was no intention of accepting him as an apprentice,?

These people had eaten about eighty percent, and the bottles of wine were nearly finished too. Suddenly, one of them slowly slumped onto the table.

"With that capacity, why drink at all!" someone beside laughed and cursed, but not long after, he too slowly slumped onto the table.

The same occurrence happened to the others. It wasn't long before they all lay on the table.

At this moment, the third young master standing aside immediately seemed to turn into someone else. He took out a mobile phone and sent out a message, then quickly walked into the dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, it was pitch black, with most of the cells empty.

The third young master walked among them, looking at the people confined in the dungeon, his brow slightly furrowed.

These people now seemed to be in utter despair, despite hearing someone coming in, none of them lifted their heads to look, as if they heard nothing at all.

The third young master didn't pay any mind to them, he went straight to a relatively hidden cell, opened the door, and slipped inside.

Once inside, the third young master rubbed his face, and his appearance immediately changed.

Originally looking like the third young master, his face drastically changed, becoming Su Yang!

If someone saw this scene, they would surely exclaim aloud. This third young master was actually Su Yang in disguise?

Su Yang took off his clothes and changed into ragged garments, then hid the previous garments in the storage ring. Afterwards, Su Yang lay on the ground, looking genuinely like a prisoner who had been tortured and then confined in the dungeon.

At this moment, from the front door, a young man came running vigorously, precisely the previous third young master.

The gatekeepers, suddenly seeing the third young master coming, were all stunned; didn't the third young master just go in? They hadn't seen him come out, so how was he coming from here?

"Third young master, you... how are you here?" a guard asked in surprise.

"Ah, don't mention it!" The third young master looked helpless, "Just delivered the food, and they didn't like it, insisted I go out to buy seasonings. I went out the back door, turned around and didn't find any, finally found some at the front door!"

The gatekeepers suddenly understood, smiling bitterly. The people of Tianya Haijiao were like taskmasters, treating them like slaves, who here hadn't experienced such things?

These people didn't stop him, the third young master ran into the courtyard, headed straight for the back dungeon.

Over at the dungeon, those guards were still slumped on the table.

The third young master sighed in relief, taking out a bottle from his pocket, opening it, and lightly blew into the room. A faint fragrance dispersed in the room, and it wasn't long before the guards started waking up separately.

The guards were all bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened just moments ago. From after they drank the wine to when they woke up from unconsciousness, their minds were blank, having no idea what happened.

The third young master stood with hands respectfully at his sides, his face still looking deferential.

The guards were somewhat confused, shaking their heads, only feeling like they drank a bit too much, which was why they had such a sensation. So, they didn't think much more.

They were mostly done eating, and ordered the third young master to come and clean up.

The third young master quietly complied, came over to tidy the table, then left pushing the small cart again. It was as if nothing that had just happened had occurred at all.

...

South of the Yangtze River, the villa of the Ghost Tomb.

Inside the house, several people were still in the midst of a debate, although Xiao Hei was very assertive. But these people still couldn't believe what Xiao Hei said.

After all, if they really believed Xiao Hei, they would next have to snatch Su Yang from the hands of the four Major Sects. And once this was done, war between the two sides was bound to break out.

If Xiao Hei deceived them, they would truly suffer a significant loss, allowing Su Yang to reap the benefits.

Ultimately, Xiao Hei was very frustrated, furiously saying, "Hey, what exactly are you going to do? I've made it very clear, my master is confined in the dungeon of Tianya Haijiao, do you want to rescue him or not? If not, just say it, and I'll figure out a way to rescue him myself. Don't waste time here, alright?"

The people in the room exchanged glances, finally, Sandaoshima Yofu spoke in a deep voice, "It's not that we don't want to rescue him, we at least have to confirm if he is truly in the dungeon of Tianya Haijiao. If in the end, we come up empty-handed, failing to save him, the four Major Sects will definitely use this to criticize us, and the matter will escalate by then!"
