311 Invisibility? Disappeared Cellmate

While he was thinking, Huo Qiyun was already brought into the cell next to Lin Ran.

It was strange that Lin Ran did not hear the cell door open the entire time. However, when he came back to his senses and turned to look, Huo Qiyun was already sitting in the cell. Elder Ge was standing in the corridor outside, and the metal bars were not damaged at all.

“Could it be some kind of array formation?”

Lin Ran muttered in his heart, but he realized that the hunchbacked Elder Ge was walking in the direction he came from. Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before asking, “Elder Ge, wait! I have something to ask you!”

Actually, Lin Ran just wanted to try his luck and didn’t expect Elder Ge to pay attention to a “prisoner” like him. Unexpectedly, after he spoke, Elder Ge really stopped in front of his cell.

“What do you want to ask?”

Elder Ge asked softly with a hunched back. His hoarse voice was weak, as if he had not rested for a long time.

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before pointing at the other cell. “I just want to ask why he came in.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Ge looked back at the cell and turned back to Lin Ran. “You haven’t been convicted, so you don’t have to worry. Stop playing these tricks.”

Lin Ran was confused. “Playing tricks? I’m clearly just asking a harmless question.”

Elder Ge made a few whooshing sounds and seemed to be laughing. Then, he walked into the darkness in the direction he came from.

Lin Ran felt that it was strange and was about to ask when a shout came from the next cell. He turned around and saw Huo Qiyun sized up his surroundings in fear.

“What is this place?”

Huo Qiyun shouted and slammed the metal bars hard, causing the entire cell to rumble. “Let me out! I didn’t steal anything!”

Seeing that Huo Qiyun was so energetic, Lin Ran’s worry dissipated a lot. He patted the bar between the two of them and said, “Stop howling. You don’t act like a master at all!”

Hearing Lin Ran’s voice, Huo Qiyun was stunned for a moment before turning around stiffly. When he saw Lin Ran, who was also in the cell, his face immediately revealed an ecstatic expression. “Lin Ran! You’re really here!”

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Qiyun had already stood up and ran over. Halfway through, he was blocked by the metal bars. With a casual wave of his hand, several sword beams shattered the metal bars!

The broken metal bars fell to the ground, and Huo Qiyun arrived in front of Lin Ran.

After sizing Lin Ran up and confirming that he was safe, Huo Qiyun heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great! I thought I was deceived by that guy again!”

Lin Ran was also very happy to see Huo Qiyun, but when he heard Huo Qiyun’s words, he suddenly frowned. “You came specially to look for me? How did you know that I was here? What did you mean by being deceived?”

“It’s a long story!”

Huo Qiyun sighed and sat on the ground. He waved his hand and gestured for Lin Ran to sit down too. From the looks of it, it was indeed going to take a long time.

Lin Ran looked at the cell opposite and said, “Friend, let me introduce you. This is my friend who just came in!”

Hearing that, Huo Qiyun asked in confusion, “Who are you talking to?”

“Our cellmate.”

As Lin Ran spoke, he pointed at the cell opposite him. “He’s been staying in this cell for a few years!”

“Cellmate?”

Huo Qiyun looked suspicious when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the cell for a long time. Then, he looked at Lin Ran strangely. “Did you suffer from Qi Deviation? There is no one else here.”

“What do you mean? We were talking before you came in!”

Lin Ran rolled his eyes at Huo Qiyun and came to the metal bars to shout at the cell, “Friend! My friend has poor eyesight. Can you show up?”

However, here was still no response from the cell.

Huo Qiyun leaned over and asked softly, “Did you remember wrongly? I’ve already used my divine sense to check. There’s only the two of us in the entire dungeon.”

“That’s what you don’t know.”

Lin Ran shook his finger and explained softly, “I just discovered it too. Some martial artists of the Great Yong Dynasty will wear accessories made of Heavenly Iron. This Heavenly Iron has the effect of blocking divine sense. If I remember correctly, your Emperor Sister’s necklace is also made of this material.”

“Heavenly Iron? Blocking divine sense?”

Huo Qiyun looked puzzled, but Lin Ran didn’t explain much. He summoned the Yin-Yang Sword with his hand behind his back and slashed out a few fire sword energies towards the cell.

The Heavenly Iron could block divine sense, but it couldn’t really make people invisible. Therefore, as long as the cell was illuminated, Huo Qiyun would naturally know that what he said was true.

However, when the fire sword energy swept into the cell opposite, Lin Ran was dumbfounded. The entire cell was empty. Apart from the hay on the ground, there was nothing else!

“Look, I told you there was no one around, right?”

Huo Qiyun clapped his hands proudly and looked at Lin Ran worriedly. “Did you really suffer from Qi Deviation?”

“Impossible! There was clearly someone there just now. We even talked for a long time!”

Lin Ran waved his hand and thought that he had remembered the wrong cell. Then, he controlled the fire sword energy to illuminate the nearby cells, but he still did not see anyone.

“No way!”

Lin Ran muttered and controlled the fire sword energy to fly towards the cells further away.

Seeing this, Huo Qiyun slowly stopped smiling, and the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious. He grabbed Lin Ran with one hand and asked, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine! There was really someone in that cell just now!”

Lin Ran replied in a low voice. As he spoke, the fire sword energy swam through the dozen or so cells around him. Although some of the cells could not be seen clearly, he was certain that they were empty.

This time, Lin Ran was completely dumbfounded. He couldn’t figure out how his cellmate disappeared into thin air, and most importantly, he didn’t understand why he was avoiding Huo Qiyun.

However, from the looks of it, they would definitely not be able to find him for the time being.

With a thought, Lin Ran extinguished the fire energy and turned to look at Huo Qiyun. “Let’s talk about you first. How did you know I was here?”

Seeing that Lin Ran had returned to normal for some reason, the worry on Huo Qiyun’s face deepened. As he sized up Lin Ran, he replied softly, “It’s a long story. In short, we have to leave this place as soon as possible. Xuan Wushang is planning something that might cause the Heavenly Saint Dynasty to fall apart!”

Lin Ran nodded, but he didn’t take it to heart. This was because he had heard similar things too many times, but in the end, nothing really happened to the Heavenly Saint Dynasty.
