Chapter 1347: Chapter 1343: Longing for Years_1 Chapter 1347: Chapter 1343: Longing for Years_1 However, he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and continue leading the way, praying that Yang Chen would be somewhat rational in what was to come.

Yang Chen walked while looking around at the cages filled with people. Some of them, he even had a lasting impression of, as they were Li Ruoxiang’s confidants and subordinates.

But now, things had changed, and these people were locked in their cages, expressionless and not even glancing at him. They had been trapped here for some time, and all hope of escape had vanished.

Yang Chen briefly examined the prohibitions around the cages, which were not profoundly complex. Anyone who reached the Heavenly Martial Realm could easily break out. Unfortunately, the only person in the Green Lotus Sect who had reached the Heavenly Martial Realm was Zhu Hailong, who currently was at the Third Layer.

Other martial artists were mostly in the Earth Martial Realm, and more were in the True Martial Realm.

Now, as Yang Chen passed by, he could increasingly guess Li Ruoxiang’s situation. Just as he had expected, when Zhu Hailong stopped walking, Yang Chen saw Li Ruoxiang’s condition and appearance.

At this moment, Li Ruoxiang was sitting cross-legged in a cell, which was small and empty with limited room to move. Surrounding her were dense prohibitions, far more profound than in other cells, making escape nearly impossible.

Li Ruoxiang was held captive in these bindings, her body covered by invisible strings. With Yang Chen’s experience, it was not difficult to discern that these invisible strings were transformed from prohibitions and used to restrain her.

Li Ruoxiang’s face was now haggard, her skin pale and bloodless, with her eyes closed, her emotions unknown. But looking at her now, one could tell that she had suffered greatly.

Seeing Li Ruoxiang like this, Yang Chen’s heart tightened, and it was painful for him to bear.

When he first met Li Ruoxiang, she was bold and carefree, uninhibited, and incredibly magnanimous. That brilliant, extraordinary woman still persisted vividly in his memory.

Who could have imagined that she would endure such treatment now?

This aroused a burning fury in Yang Chen.

“She… she’s in hibernation now, with no danger to her life.” Fearing that Yang Chen would fly into a rage because of Li Ruoxiang, Zhu Hailong quickly cried out.

Yang Chen’s eyes were sharp, and of course, he could see Li Ruoxiang’s condition.

At this time, Li Ruoxiang had already closed her senses due to the lack of external Spiritual Energy and forcibly put herself into hibernation. She relied on her stored True Qi to maintain her cultivation level, otherwise staying in an environment devoid of Spiritual Energy could lead to a decline in her strength.

Once in hibernation, external disturbances wouldn’t be easily detected, so even now, she wouldn’t notice Yang Chen’s presence.

Yang Chen’s face turned cold as he said, “Elder Zhu, I think you need to explain to me exactly what’s going on here.”

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Zhu Hailong knew that he was in trouble.

But faced with Yang Chen’s questioning, he had no choice but to explain, saying, “It’s… it’s like this…”

Zhu Hailong then explained the situation in detail.

Upon hearing the ins and outs, Yang Chen understood.

It turned out that after he had escaped from the Thirty-six Eastern Counties, Zhu Hailong intended to suppress Li Ruoxiang. The reason for the suppression ultimately came down to his relationship with her. Somehow, their closeness had been leaked.

At that time, his identity was extremely discreet, and many Sects wanted his life. Zhu Hailong dared not rely on Li Ruoxiang and tried various ways to suppress her.

However, because Li Ruoxiang was ultimately his disciple, Zhu Hailong did not outright dismiss her until Zhang Huai appeared.

Zhang Huai somehow found a treasure capable of improving the abilities of Heavenly Martial Realm experts. With this treasure, Zhu Hailong could advance from the Second Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm to the Third Layer.

This was the reason for Zhu Hailong’s rapid progress in Martial Arts and the beginning of Li Ruoxiang’s suppression.

Zhu Hailong used the treasure to support Zhang Huai and then secretly backed him. With Zhu Hailong’s support, Zhang Huai naturally gained the upper hand in his contest with Li Ruoxiang.

Zhu Hailong hid behind the scenes, skillfully borrowing a knife to kill, his maneuvers cunning to the extreme.

Finally, a trumped-up charge was placed on Li Ruoxiang, and she was thrown into the dungeon.

Overall, Zhu Hailong wasn’t completely devoid of conscience. After all, being a master for a day meant being a father for life. Therefore, he spared Li Ruoxiang’s life and imprisoned her here indefinitely.

Now, Zhu Hailong hastily adopted a pitiful appearance and said, “Back then, I was completely bewitched. When I think about Li Ruoxiang being my disciple, how could I do such a thing? She’s my disciple.”

Emphasizing the word “disciple,” Zhu Hailong’s tone grew heavier, apparently trying to remind Yang Chen to consider her status and not judge him too harshly.

Yang Chen sneered, “Only now do you realize that Li Ruoxiang is your disciple?”

When the conversation ended, Yang Chen suddenly channeled a surge of True Qi into Li Ruoxiang’s body.

As the True Qi entered her body, it quickly awakened Li Ruoxiang’s senses, and then, she clearly heard Zhu Hailong’s mournful cries.

Li Ruoxiang abruptly woke up, looking around.

“Master…” Upon seeing her master, Li Ruoxiang’s face dimmed. She thought it was her master who had roused her and intended to close her eyes and return to hibernation when she suddenly noticed the gaze of the two outsiders.

Who?

Li Ruoxiang harbored this doubt, unconsciously glancing at the incoming person. As soon as she recognized him, her pupils contracted.

Such a familiar face.

This immediately reminded her of someone, the young man etched deep in her memory who she could never forget.

He was more mature now, much more powerful than before.

She recalled the young man’s name, Yang Chen.

Describing the person before her as a young man now seemed somewhat inappropriate. He had grown up, far more masculine than before.

“You… you’re Yang Chen?” Li Ruoxiang stared straight at Yang Chen, speaking words she could hardly believe.

“It’s me, Sect Leader Li. Long time no see.” Yang Chen replied gently.

Upon hearing his voice, Li Ruoxiang trembled, her eyes sparkling with tears. Years of longing suddenly burst forth.
