Chapter 924 Release
The thought flashed through my mind like lightning!

Two red clouds instantly rose on Linghu Xiang's cheeks, and a great deal of shyness and indescribable complex emotions welled up in her heart.

She frantically buried her head deep into Fang Yu's chest, pretending to faint from shock, but her body involuntarily pressed even closer.

Feeling that strong, powerful heartbeat, my mind was in complete chaos.

Fang Yu carried the "unconscious" Linghu Xiang and supported the seriously injured Song Zhenrong.

Accompanied "respectfully" by Master Zhu, they made their way unimpeded to the prison exit.

As he passed the rack of torture instruments, he casually picked up the key and unlocked the shackles on Song Zhenrong and Linghu Xiang's wrists, making them look more like prisoners being escorted and transferred than those being rescued.

The fake Diao Deyi was dragged away and imprisoned by the jailers.

Lord Zhu then "escorted" Fang Yu and the other two all the way to the heavy, rusty gate of the prison before stopping.

With a fake smile plastered on his face, he waved goodbye.

Only when Fang Yu and the other two figures completely disappeared at the end of the dimly lit staircase leading to the ground did the smile on his face vanish instantly, replaced by an incomparably cold and resentful expression!

"Somebody come!"

Lord Zhu roared in a shrill voice.

"Immediately! Right now! Report to Hall Master Qian! Say that Captain Feng forcibly took away Song Zhenrong, a serious criminal scheduled to be executed tomorrow, and another prisoner, Linghu Xiang! It seems... he's plotting something!" He had to report this immediately and clear himself of any responsibility!

The person was lost while under Captain Feng's care; it had nothing to do with him!
The message, as if it had sprouted wings, was transmitted at top speed.

When Fang Yu, supporting Song Zhenrong and carrying Linghu Xiang, finally stepped out of the massive gatehouse of the Foolish Underworld, a symbol of solemnity and power.

Master Qian has already received an urgent message from Lord Zhu!
"What?!!!"

Inside the mansion, a furious roar nearly lifted the roof off!
Snap!!!

A sturdy mahogany table shattered into pieces instantly under the angry palm strike of Master Qian, sending wood chips flying everywhere!
"The person has been taken away?! Feng Hanhai?! How dare he!!!"

Master Qian's face was ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead!
He didn't want to get involved in this mess, but it just made things worse for him!

A surge of evil fire shot straight to the top of the head!

He took several steps at once, with a violent momentum, and suddenly pushed open the door, ready to rush out!

However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he almost bumped into a figure coming straight at him!

"..."

Upon seeing who it was, Master Qian's already unpleasant expression turned even more somber, as if water could drip from it!

"what happened?"

Ya Qingli, the nominal supreme ruler of the Foolish Underworld, the Lord of the Underworld.

She was looking at him coldly, her tone clearly displeased.

"You see me and don't even greet me?"

"Humph!"

Her response was a cold snort, undisguised and filled with annoyance and contempt!

Ya Qingli was taken aback, and then a surge of anger, feeling offended, welled up inside her.

At this moment, Master Qian had already roughly moved aside.

Without offering a single explanation, he moved with incredible speed, displaying his superior movement technique, and sped off like an arrow towards the Foolish Underworld Prison!

Only a menacing afterimage remained!

Ya Qingli stood frozen in place, staring at the direction where Hall Master Qian had disappeared, her chest heaving violently!
On that scaly face, there was first astonishment, then disbelief, and finally a raging fury of being completely ignored and humiliated!

These hall masters... are increasingly disregarding her, the head of the manor!
Although the Foolish Underworld is about to undergo an unprecedented personnel reshuffle, she... Ya Qingli, right now! At this moment! is still the Lord of the Foolish Underworld!

He is their nominal superior!
"This is really... getting more and more lawless! They're taking me less and less seriously!!!"

Ya Qingli practically spat out those words through gritted teeth, a flash of icy killing intent crossing her eyes.

In the game of power, undercurrents are turbulent, and this dismissive "humph" is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, which will surely stir up even greater waves.

In recent days, the masked man incidents that have been spreading like a plague in Beijing have not only not decreased in number, but have instead become more and more serious.

What weighed heavily on Ya Qingli's mind was that this matter had been directly singled out by higher authorities, who demanded that she, as the Lord of the Foolish Land, personally take charge and prioritize its handling.

Therefore, Ya Qingli has been practically tied down by this mess these days.

I'm constantly overwhelmed and exhausted.

They had to deal with pressure from their superiors while also coordinating efforts from all sides to track down the elusive masked man.

Exhausted, she had no time to think about anything else.

They had almost lost control of the undercurrents within the Foolish Underworld.

Perhaps it was this unavoidable "letting go" that made it possible.

This emboldened the already cunning hall masters to act even more recklessly!
Ya Qingli narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, a cold light swirling in them as her thoughts churned within.

She suddenly remembered something.

She personally entrusted the task concerning Diao Deyi to Master Qian for "care".

Once she could catch her breath after dealing with the masked man so frantically, she would use that as an excuse to properly "inquire" about Master Qian's "work progress"!
If necessary, we must give this old fellow a good talking-to and make him realize who the true master of this foolish underworld is!

Lest he really think he's all grown up and can take advantage of her and not respect her, Ya Qingli!
"Hmph!" A cold nasal sound escaped Ya Qingli's throat, carrying anger and disdain at being offended.

Without lingering, she strode away from the spot, exuding a chilling aura.

She's really busy right now and doesn't have time to argue with these clueless guys, but the seeds of settling scores later have already been sown.

……

Ya Qingli would never have imagined that the person she asked Hall Master Qian to "pay special attention" to was someone else.

Just a few minutes ago, they were still inside the heavily fortified walls of the Foolish Underworld.

At this moment, Fang Yu, leading the two people he had just rescued from prison, sped off like an arrow.

Speeding through the bustling yet perilous streets of the capital, we quickly moved away from the heart of the Foolish Underworld, a place symbolizing power and ironclad laws.

"Is it necessary to... run this fast?"

Despite the sharp pain from the intense movements aggravating his wounds, Song Zhenrong asked the question while panting.

After leaving the jurisdiction of the Foolish Underworld, Fang Yu ordered them to run at full speed.

The sight of him running wildly down the street not only drew attention but also caused quite a commotion.

A series of surprised and inquisitive gazes were cast from both sides.

Without turning his head, Fang Yu's voice was low but carried an undeniable sense of urgency: "Hurry! Leaving the Foolish Underworld is only the first step! Only by successfully reaching the Ouyang Mansion can we truly escape the tiger's mouth and gain temporary safety!"

"But……"

Song Zhenrong's voice was full of worry, but he dared not slow down his pace in the slightest.

"In this way, you have finally and completely offended the Foolish Underworld... From now on, your situation in this capital city will likely be..."

This was also the point that he and Linghu Xiang were most worried about.

They never expected that the Foolish Underworld in the capital would act so cruelly and domineeringly.

Not only did they imprison them, but they also cut off their fingers, treating them like dirt!

"Diao...De Yi? Is that you? Is it really you?"

Linghu Xiang, who was being held horizontally in Fang Yu's arms, raised her hand in a daze with complicated emotions, her hand trembling with disbelief, wanting to touch Fang Yu's cheek.

This intimate gesture made Fang Yu's body stiffen slightly, almost causing him to lose his footing.

He quickly composed himself and said in a low voice, "It's me! Don't move! I've taken a disguise pill, and I look like Captain Feng now!"

“Then it really is Captain Feng…” Song Zhenrong, with his sharp mind, immediately grasped the key issue.

"rest assured,"

Fang Yu interrupted him with rapid-fire speech.

"He's not dead, he's just temporarily... not going to appear in the Foolish Underworld."

He glossed over it, clearly not wanting to discuss it in detail at this moment.

Linghu Xiang didn't seem to be fully listening to Fang Yu and Song Zhenrong's conversation.

She just stared at Fang Yu's profile, her heart surging with an indescribable wave of excitement.

She had imagined countless times what their reunion would be like, but she never expected it to be in such a wretched, life-or-death situation, in such a way that she would be "rescued by a hero."

Although this fulfilled her deepest, secret expectations, Song Zhenrong was still by her side.

The atmosphere... was far removed from the romantic and enchanting world for two that she had imagined.

This left her with many words and feelings stuck in her chest, unable to be expressed.

"My sister! Where is Song Xi now? How is she?!"

Song Zhenrong finally couldn't contain his anxiety and asked the question he cared about most.

The last time he saw his sister, she was still in that horrible state, twisted by illness, and a huge weight remained in his heart.

However, before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street ahead!
Fang Yu's pupils contracted, and he stared intently.

A team of members dressed in the uniforms of the Foolish Underworld lined up in the middle of the street, swords drawn, and menacingly blocked the entire road!

Fang Yu instinctively wanted to turn around and take a detour, but in a flash, an idea flashed through his mind.

He is now "Feng Hanhai", the dignified captain of the Foolish Underworld!
Getting these ordinary team members to make way would be a piece of cake.

He immediately slowed his pace, taking Song Zhenrong with him and holding Linghu Xiang in his arms.

They approached the blockade line with an air of composure but in reality, a wary demeanor.

They stopped a few steps away from the members of the Foolish Underworld team.

"Stop!"

"Who goes there?! The area ahead is blocked off, no passage allowed!"

These foolish underworld team members were of mediocre strength, and from a distance, they didn't even get a clear look at Fang Yu's face at first glance.

Fang Yu had slowed down considerably in order to take care of the seriously injured Song Zhenrong.

Fang Yu stood still.

When everyone finally saw his distinctive, somewhat gloomy yet highly recognizable face.

The team members on the blockade line were all stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed respect.

"It's Captain Feng!"

"Hello, Captain Feng..."

Someone looked at Fang Yu respectfully, then their gaze fell on the woman in his arms who was clearly in poor condition and the man behind him who was covered in blood and dressed as a prisoner.

Doubts suddenly arose in my mind.

Why is Captain Feng leading two prisoners who look like they've just been taken out of jail, running around the streets?

But the person in front of me is Feng Hanhai!

Among the many captains in the Foolish Underworld, Captain Feng is exceptionally strong, upright, and deeply respected by the lower-level members, enjoying extremely high prestige!

This respect and trust overwhelmed any doubts, and the team members bowed respectfully.

"Captain Feng?!"

A burly, bald man pushed his way through the crowd to the front; he was the team leader in charge of this area.

He looked confused, clearly not understanding why Captain Feng would appear on this temporarily blocked street.

"What's going on here?"

Fang Yu maintained his usual calm expression and asked casually, as if he had just happened to pass by.

This composed demeanor subtly dispelled most of the doubts in the team leader's mind.

"Oh, don't mention it!"

The team leader looked worried and poured out his grievances.

"I suddenly received an urgent secret order to immediately seal off this block!"

"Captain Feng, as you know, the capital is a place where hidden talents abound. Even a random passerby might have a powerful background!"

"This road closure without warning could easily offend some powerful figure; my small frame can't handle that!"

"I was just having a headache. I wonder which hall master went crazy and even used an emergency code without explaining why!"

He complained, clearly finding the vague instructions difficult to follow.

Fang Yu's heart stirred.

The capital city's underworld does indeed have a special code system for use in extreme emergencies.

However, such codes can usually only convey very brief instructions and cannot transmit detailed information.

In terms of the efficiency and accuracy of information transmission, it might not even be as good as the demon organization he encountered in Tianyuan Town.

"Is there such a thing?"

Fang Yu frowned slightly and nodded in agreement.

"It seems there are demons causing trouble, or perhaps some vicious criminals have fled here... What a pity,"

He looked "regretful" and gestured with his chin towards Linghu Xiang in his arms and Song Zhenrong behind him.

“I have important duties to attend to, escorting these two serious criminals to their designated location, and I am simply unable to spare the time. Otherwise, I could stay and lend you a hand.”

The team leader immediately understood this rhetoric of feigning retreat to advance.

He laughed heartily and waved his hand generously: "Captain Feng, you're too kind! Since this task was assigned to me, how could I dare trouble you? You have important responsibilities to bear, so please go ahead! I'll figure out how to handle things here myself!"

"it is good!"

Fang Yu didn't mince words and said in a deep voice.

"If the situation is urgent and you need support, send someone to me immediately for help! I will come right away!"

He deliberately emphasized "at the first moment," his tone resolute.

The team leader believed this statement completely.

Feng Hanhai has an excellent reputation in the lower levels of Yudi Mansion. He is known for protecting his own and keeping his promises!
Although the lords and hall masters above fight to the death, the captains below, as long as there is no direct conflict or explicit order, mostly value mutual help and personal relationships in private.

Giving Captain Feng face is definitely an investment with only benefits and no drawbacks!

After all, who doesn't know that Captain Feng's strength has already reached the level of a hall master?
They just lack a channel for advancement!

The potential value of forging a good relationship with a near-master level expert is self-evident.

These thoughts flashed through the team leader's mind, and his smile became even more sincere: "In that case, thank you in advance, Captain Feng! I, Ji, will remember this favor!"

"Easy to say."

Fang Yu nodded slightly, maintaining Feng Hanhai's relatively aloof and reserved persona.

Without further hesitation, the team leader waved his hand and shouted to his men, "Make way for Captain Feng! Hurry up!"
