Bird Escaping the Cage 2

He took the note and saw that it was scrawled with crooked writing:

'Ryuu Mufei, we've taken him! Don't worry, we won't kill him. ---Zhi!'

The blood-red Zhi at the end of the note sent a wave of extreme unease through Ryuseki.

"Quick, call your brother to come over!" Ryuseki shouted at Meisha. He sensed the gravity of the situation; the involvement of Zhi made the consequences far too severe. He quickly tossed his phone to Meisha, then helped Lin Yingbin, who was still unconscious, onto the hospital bed. At the same time, Meisha frantically called Kouhi.

Before long, Kouhi rushed over in a hurry.

"Ryuu Mufei was taken by Zhi?" Upon hearing this, Kouhi also realized the seriousness of the situation. He spoke with a troubled expression and furrowed brows, "Something terrible has happened now."

"This note is what they left!" Ryuseki handed the note to Kouhi. "I don't know why they took Ryuu Mufei, but the note says they won't kill him. But can we believe what's written here?"

"Zhi, that demon. When you mentioned him before, I didn't take it seriously. It's my fault for making a mistake!" Kouhi slapped his thigh hard.

"What's the most important thing to do now!"

Meanwhile, on Ryuu Mufei's side.

This was a dark space, and the cold was bone-chilling. Looking at the heavy iron chains, pitch-black shackles, and the weary, bruised body bound by fetters on the ground – the person chained was Ryuu Mufei.

The lifeless place gave the feeling of being in an ice cave.

With a splash, a basin of cold water was poured over Ryuu Mufei, chilling him to the bone.

Ryuu Mufei, still in a coma, was jolted awake by the icy water. Droplets of water dripped from the tips of his wet hair. The awakened Ryuu Mufei slowly lifted his head. The water dripping onto the ground quickly condensed into a thin layer of ice, and even the air Ryuu Mufei exhaled rapidly formed small ice crystals.

This place is truly cold!

"Hoo... hoo... hoo...!" Ryuu Mufei gasped for air, his body trembling uncontrollably not just from pain but also from the cold.

He was so heavily injured, dressed so thinly, in this extremely cold place, and doused with cold water. A normal person would have long since been unable to endure it and frozen to death. It was no wonder he was from the Five Great Clans; their physique was different from ordinary people. However, even so, Ryuu Mufei was still shivering uncontrollably from the cold.

"Hmph... hmph... hmph... hmph...! Long time no see, Ryuu Mufei!"

The man standing before Ryuu Mufei's tone was filled with malice, and it was not difficult to hear the anger mixed in his voice.

"Who... who are you?" Ryuu Mufei, bound by chains, asked weakly.

The same voice, sinister and mixed with anger, replied, "You truly have a bad memory!"

Did this person recognize Ryuu Mufei? Ryuu Mufei himself wasn't sure.

"Are you...?!"

Ryuu Mufei trembled, looking with surprise through the gaps in his wet, cold hair at the person before him who claimed to know him.

"You've forgotten me, but I haven't forgotten you! Ryuu Mufei, I bet you didn't expect this! You, the young master of the Ryuu Family, have fallen to this point! Ryuu Mufei, you've finally fallen into my hands! Woo~ Guhahaha~" As he spoke, the man burst into laughter, his dissolute laughter sending chills down the listener's spine.

Ryuu Mufei gasped, looking at the man's silhouette, as if recalling something!

"You... you don't mean to say! You couldn't be--Mo...!"

"Hmph... hmph... hmph... You finally haven't forgotten! My humiliating days are finally over. I will definitely settle the score for the past!"

Laughing wildly, he spoke. The man walked out from the darkness, and Ryuu Mufei, through the gaps in his hair, clearly saw the fellow's appearance and face.

Seeing clearly, his entire body was hunched like an old man, yet his face was extremely ferocious. Especially his face; I'm sure anyone who saw it would never forget that hideous countenance. His face was covered in lumps like the back of a toad, and his sallow skin looked terrifying.

Toad, if there was an animal to describe him, only this animal could do it. The excitement he displayed made Ryuu Mufei uneasy.

"You... you... how did you become like this? Mo E~"

Ryuu Mufei was shocked by his appearance, as his current look was vastly different from before.

"Isn't my current glorious appearance all thanks to you? Have you forgotten?"

The man named Mo E said this and walked towards Ryuu Mufei.
