When Ye Qing knocked down the guards, the people in the dungeon all clearly saw the situation over here. Especially Handsome Fatty Wang and his group, who were pondering how to escape, suddenly faced unexpected events in the dungeon. Their feelings were imaginable.

"Look, look, someone has come to save us!" said a man beside Handsome Fatty Wang excitedly, "I told you, where there's a will, there's a way. It's finally good now!"

Handsome Fatty Wang wasn't as excited as the others. Ye Qing was quite far away, and it was very chaotic there, so he hadn't had the chance to see Ye Qing's face clearly. However, from that silhouette, he felt a foreboding sense.

Once Ye Qing had knocked down all the guards, Handsome Fatty Wang finally saw Ye Qing's face clearly, and cursed involuntarily, "****, so it's you, you bastard!"

Upon hearing Handsome Fatty Wang say so, several people beside him also recognized Ye Qing, and they all widened their eyes. Just now in the tunnel, Ye Qing had snatched their Dragon Blood Wood, and now Ye Qing had come back to raid the prison. What is he planning? Like Handsome Fatty Wang, everyone felt a strong foreboding.

The man next to him watched Ye Qing swiftly and cleanly topple all five guards, his mouth wide open, yet not daring to make a sound.

After knocking down the five guards, Ye Qing took the keys from them and walked straight to the man's side, raised his hand, and patted the back of the man's head, causing him to pass out directly.

After knocking down this man too, Ye Qing walked over to Handsome Fatty Wang and his group with a faint smile. Seeing Ye Qing approaching, Handsome Fatty Wang's eyes widened even more, and he angrily said, "Ye, you damn kid, what exactly do you want to do?"

Ye Qing laughed, "Why so agitated? I came back to save you. Not even saying a thank you, is there anyone like you?"

"Don't pretend to be kind-hearted with me. If it weren't for you, that bastard, leading the Wanyan family's people to the Ancestral Tomb Tower, would the Fat Lord need to be locked up here?" Handsome Fatty Wang said angrily, "And you snatched away the piece of Dragon Blood Wood that Fat Lord had obtained so hard, why should I say thank you to you? Let me tell you, unless you get us all out and return that piece of Dragon Blood Wood to me, only then will Fat Lord consider whether to say thank you!"

Ye Qing shrugged and said, "It seems like you guys aren't very eager to leave here. That's fine, I don't need your thanks. After all, being a good person is hard enough, letting you out while you're plotting how to snatch this Dragon Blood Wood from me afterward. I'd rather just leave you here, saving myself a competitor after you escape."

Saying so, Ye Qing was about to turn around and leave, Handsome Fatty Wang became anxious. If Ye Qing were to leave just like that, they would be doomed. Having wreaked havoc on the Wanyan family, intruded into the Ancestral Tomb Tower, and stolen the Dragon Blood Wood, all this combined, Prince Wan Yan would surely kill them.

"Brother, don't leave just yet." Before Handsome Fatty Wang could speak, those several people beside him got anxious first, a middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Brother, brother, don't be mad, don't be mad, the fat man didn't mean that. We're all on the same side, why should we be divided? If you want the Dragon Blood Wood, take it for yourself, but first, get us out. We're all on the same side; you can't ignore us, can you?"

Ye Qing glanced at the middle-aged man and then looked at Handsome Fatty Wang, saying, "Fatty, what do you think?"

Handsome Fatty Wang pursed his lips, turned his head to the side angrily, muttering something indiscernible under his breath, definitely not something nice.

Ye Qing secretly laughed, Handsome Fatty Wang must be holding his anger inside, which gave Ye Qing some sense of satisfaction.

"Since you're not speaking, I'll take it as you don't want to get out." Ye Qing shook the bunch of keys in his hand, "In that case, I'll just let out the other people first. Can't make this trip for nothing, wouldn't you say?"

Ye Qing actually had a plan in his heart. Being locked up here certainly meant these people had grudges with the Wanyan family. Since Ye Qing had completely formed enmity with the Wanyan family now, he was prepared to take actions against them. However, with his own strength alone, he couldn't possibly fight the Wanyan family. Therefore, he planned to release all the enemies of the Wanyan family locked in this dungeon, which would definitely become a big headache for the Wanyan family.

Holding the keys, he walked straight into the inner cells. There were quite a few people locked up in the dungeon by the Wanyan family, at least more than twenty, showing that the Wanyan family had made plenty of enemies. Ye Qing walked to the innermost cell, directly went over and opened the cell door, and the people inside immediately ran out.

"Brother, thanks!" said a middle-aged man as he nodded towards Ye Qing and then gritted his teeth saying, "Prince Wan Yan, now that I'm out, I will make sure your Wanyan family will have no peace!"

It was clear this middle-aged man had serious enmity with the Wanyan family. Ye Qing smiled faintly; this was exactly the result he wanted. Using the key, he opened the walls of the other cells, and the people inside ran out. Judging by the situation, they all had deep-seated grudges with the Wanyan family, all clamoring to seek revenge on the Wanyan family.

The cell of Handsome Fatty Wang and his group was left at the very back. Originally, Ye Qing wanted to go over and provoke Handsome Fatty Wang further. However, as he released the last person, he suddenly heard an extremely aged and weak voice, "Little brother, little brother..."

Ye Qing turned around in surprise, looking all around, but no one was speaking to him. Where was this voice coming from?

"Little brother, I... I'm down here..." The voice sounded again, and Ye Qing immediately looked down at his feet, but still didn't see anyone.

After a moment of silence, Ye Qing suddenly squatted on the ground, reaching out and gently knocking the floor. Listening to the echoing sound, Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat. There's actually a hidden chamber beneath this dungeon, with other cells inside!

"Old sir, where is the entrance?" Ye Qing quickly asked, "Where is the door lock? I'll help you open it?"

"It can't be opened..." The voice below sounded very weak: "This door lock has two keys. One key is always with Prince Wan Yan. You need to put the two keys together to open the lock. You only have one key, so you can't open the lock at all."

"Ah?" Ye Qing was taken aback and said, "Old sir, don't worry. I have a Famed Instrument with me. Let me find the lock and break it open!"

"It's useless, this is a lock with Prince Wan Yan's features, even a Famed Instrument can't break it."

"Then what should we do?" Ye Qing frowned. Taking the key from Prince Wan Yan seemed like an impossible task.

"Young brother, do you... do you have a Ziyu Chenxiang Pill with you?" the person below asked.

"How do you know?" Ye Qing asked in surprise. He hadn't even found the entrance to the underground compartment yet, and this person already knew what he had on him. It seemed like the person locked inside the compartment was definitely not an ordinary person.

"I smelled the fragrance of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill." The person's voice was clearly filled with nostalgia. After a moment of silence, he softly said, "Young brother, could you possibly give me a Ziyu Chenxiang Pill?"

"No problem!" Ye Qing replied straightforwardly, without the slightest hesitation, "But, where is the entrance? How can I give you the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill?"

The person below did not expect Ye Qing to be so generous. He was visibly stunned for a moment upon hearing Ye Qing's response, but quickly replied, "You walk to the very center cell, there's a movable floorboard. Open that floorboard, and you'll see the entrance below. You can throw the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill in through that entrance."

Ye Qing immediately followed the person's instructions and walked over. Sure enough, in the center cell, he found an entrance. Looking down from above, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Under such dark conditions, whoever was locked inside, surviving for a few days would definitely be no easy task. From the feeble sound of this person's voice heard earlier, it seemed he'd been locked in there for quite some time.

"Old sir, old sir?" Ye Qing called out twice at the entrance, "Can you hear me?"

"I can hear you," the person inside whispered, "Young brother, I must trouble you."

Without any hesitation, Ye Qing immediately took out a Ziyu Chenxiang Pill from his belongings, placed his hand by the entrance, and softly asked, "I just throw it in like this?"

"Yes, just throw it in," the person inside replied straightforwardly.

"Alright then, catch it," Ye Qing said as he threw the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill in. Afterward, there was no further sound from inside, leaving it unknown whether the person inside had received the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill.

Ye Qing also didn't know what the current situation inside the compartment was, but he figured that the person inside must have consumed the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill by now. The Ziyu Chenxiang Pill could rapidly restore one's vitality; this person was probably busy restoring his strength, so Ye Qing didn't disturb him further.

"How are things?" Ye Qing walked over to Handsome Fatty Wang and his group and asked, "Do you want to get out of here?"

"Of course!" Handsome Fatty Wang's companions said in unison.

Ye Qing looked at Handsome Fatty Wang with a faint smile. Handsome Fatty Wang sighed and said, "Alright, alright, let me out. I won't pursue the matter of the Dragon Blood Wood anymore."

"It's not about you not pursuing it, but from now on, you can't secretly mess with me anymore!" Ye Qing said sternly. "If you try to harm me in secret again, you won't be so lucky next time."

Handsome Fatty Wang shook his head and waved his hand, "Alright, alright, I understand. Stop wasting time and get me out of here. This place is simply uninhabitable."

Ye Qing smiled and used the key to open the door. Handsome Fatty Wang and his group immediately rushed out, eager to escape the confines of the place.

The first words out of Handsome Fatty Wang's mouth upon leaving the cell were, "Damn it, this bastard Prince Wan Yan actually set up a private dungeon at home. This is simply illegal detention, a complete disregard for the law!"
