The jailer rushed out of the dungeon after escorting the two men into Chen Lin's cell.
Upon entering the cell, the two men first scanned all the prisoners with blank expressions before their gazes finally settled on Chen Lin.
Chen Lin frowned at this, suddenly having a strong feeling that these two were here for him.
As expected, not long after the jailer left, the two men simultaneously lifted their legs and kicked fiercely towards Chen Lin.
"You're asking for death!" Chen Lin narrowed his eyes, a flash of anger crossing them.
He raised his fists, smashing them hard at the incoming feet, one on the left and one on the right.
Seeing Chen Lin's actions, the two burly men sneered. They were both born with immense strength, and after venturing into martial arts, their power became boundless.
Looking at Chen Lin's small frame, which seemed to have little strength, they worried that one kick might kill him.
"Bang! Bang!"
With dull thuds accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the two tower-like strongmen let out pained cries. Like broken dolls, they were sent flying by Chen Lin's punches, crashing hard against the iron bars of the cell door, bending them into a shocking arc.
"Ah~~~"
The two great men clutched their thighs and rolled on the ground in agony.
Before Chen Lin could make another move, the jailer at the end of the dungeon, who had been observing the situation, heard the commotion and rushed over, shouting, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Everyone squat down! Squat down!"
Chen Lin did not squat down but watched the jailer's performance with cold eyes.
The arriving jailer's eyes widened in shock when he saw the iron bars of the cell bent like bean sprouts.
He no longer dared to scold Chen Lin. He waved to his subordinates behind him and dragged the two strongmen with broken thighs out as if they were dead dogs.
In the dungeon, Warden Lin, who was leisurely drinking, had his mood interrupted by the hurried arrival of the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao.
"Old Yao, your expression is off! What happened?" Warden Lin frowned, a bad premonition stirring within him.
"Old Lin, disaster! I just went to the War God Temple to inquire about the identity of the person we just captured. I found out that person wasn't lying. A Martial Disciple named Chen Lin did indeed join the War God Temple today," the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao said with a crestfallen expression.
"Crackling!" Upon hearing this, Warden Lin's body swayed, and he couldn't stand steady, knocking over the table and chairs in front of him. The good wine and dishes on the table were instantly spilled all over the floor.
"The sky is falling, the sky is falling! If we've offended someone from the War God Temple, will we still be alive? I heard that the War God Temple never bothers with anyone who has a reason to kill!" Warden Lin muttered with a pale face, unconsciously.
"The only way to salvage this is for us to quickly go and apologize to that young man. Otherwise, if we truly offend him to death, we're finished!" The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao slapped Warden Lin on the shoulder, bringing him back to his senses.
"It's too late! I couldn't withstand the pressure and sent two Martial Artists in for Young Master Zhou. By now, the matter must be concluded!" Warden Lin said with a mournful face.
"What? Didn't I warn you earlier to only take action after I verified that person's identity? What were you thinking?" The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao's expression turned furious upon hearing this, and he questioned sternly.
"I didn't want to! It's just that Young Master Zhou offered too much, and I couldn't resist..." Warden Lin said with a bitter expression.
"Old Lin, you're being foolish! You're usually such a sharp person! How could you make such a mistake now? Never mind that, let's hurry over and see if there's any chance of redemption!" The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao couldn't stand still any longer and immediately prepared to drag Warden Lin to the dungeon.
"Who is in charge here?" He Yanjun strode in with Chen Yu, his eyes stern and his voice deep.
The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao and Warden Lin glanced at He Yanjun's waist and were immediately so scared their legs went weak by two shining vermilion gold coins.
"I'm asking you! Who is in charge here?" Chen Yu asked loudly, impatient when the two didn't reply.
Warden Lin bowed and raised his hand, answering tremblingly, "Reporting to Sir, I am the warden here. Whatever your orders, just say them! I guarantee I will do my utmost to fulfill them!"
"Did you capture someone named Chen Lin here today? Where is he? Release him! He is one of us from the War God Temple, and you are not qualified to imprison him!" He Yanjun commanded expressionlessly.
Warden Lin and the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao exchanged glances, their faces turning ashen. Warden Lin didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and said obsequiously, "Please wait here for a moment, sirs. I will go and invite that esteemed individual out right away!"
With that, the two turned to head to the dungeon.
"No need, we'll go together!" He Yanjun said coldly, seeing their dawdling.
"This!" Warden Lin hesitated.
After all, if the two of them went first, they could buy some time and perhaps resolve the matter with an apology. But if these people went together, the price they would have to pay to seek Chen Lin's forgiveness later would be far greater.
"What? Is there a problem?" He Yanjun frowned, and a powerful aura pressed down on the two, terrifying them to their core.
"No problem, no problem, we were just afraid the dungeon is too dirty and would offend your eyes, sirs!" The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao quickly explained.
"Lead the way!" He Yanjun said impatiently.
Warden Lin and the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao led He Yanjun and Chen Yu into the dungeon. Midway, they ran into the jailer who was dragging the two tower-like strongmen.
"Warden Lin, that person..."
"What person? Hurry up and lock him up!" Warden Lin quickly interrupted his subordinate's report and gave him a meaningful look.
The jailer immediately shut his mouth, bowed, and nodded in agreement.
The group arrived at Chen Lin's cell. He Yanjun glanced at the iron bars near the cell door and immediately had some suspicions.
"Senior He, Brother Yu, you're here?" Chen Lin exclaimed joyfully upon seeing the two.
"Yes, after I received my uncle's letter, I immediately went to find Senior He! Fortunately, we arrived in time. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened!" Chen Yu also saw the unusual state of the iron bars by the cell door and said indignantly.
Warden Lin and the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Lin was unharmed.
As long as the person was fine, there was still room for maneuver.
"Open the door and let him out!" He Yanjun didn't say much more and simply ordered in a deep voice.
"Releasing him right away, releasing him right away!" Warden Lin quickly took the key from his waist and hastily opened the door.
The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao bowed to Chen Lin and apologized, "Young Master Chen, I apologize. It was my fault for being blind and not recognizing a true hero. Please don't be angry and give me a chance to atone!"
"Good, then tell me, who were the two people who were sent in just now?" Chen Lin asked in a deep voice, a cold glint in his eyes.
