Not long after Yun Sheng left, another series of hurried footsteps approached. Yuan Bupo kicked open the cell door and looked inside. Seeing the cell empty, Yuan Bupo was initially stunned but soon realized that the female prisoners had come to the same conclusion as them and had collectively broken out of prison. It was also his oversight; Yun Sheng was indeed very clever. If she was capable of playing the Emperor’s Song in the cell, then she must have planned for an escape. As Yuan Bupo inspected the female prison again, all the prisoners had escaped, leaving only a masked female prisoner sitting in the corner of the cell. Yuan Bupo paused, then stepped forward to ask, "Were there two young women held here earlier? One of them, with dimples when she smiled—does the senior know where she went?" The masked female prisoner remained silent. This prisoner was odd, and Yuan Bupo didn’t dare to get close to her, always feeling an inexplicable sense of danger. "Weirdo," Yuan Bupo muttered, then without lingering any longer, he hurried outside to look for Yun Sheng and the others. The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝 When Yun Sheng left the female prison, she intended to head back towards the male prison to find Yuan Bupo, but she had chosen a route opposite to his. Halfway there, not yet reaching the male prison, she encountered several male prisoners running out. After grabbing one to ask, she learned that Yuan Bupo and others had escaped as well. Today, Ice Waterfall City might witness a riot. Down the path, Yun Sheng saw every cell opened—someone appeared to have intentionally created chaos to obscure the elves’ sight, freeing the prisoners who hadn’t escaped as well. Halfway through her journey, Yun Sheng still hadn’t found Yuan Bupo, and worse, while she was still planning to continue searching, a sound like a war horn came from above Ice Waterfall City. Clearly, the elves had discovered the escape. A collective prison break, and every cell escaping simultaneously, was truly a first in the entire history of Ice Waterfall City and even a first in the history of the elves. Elf archers, who just a moment ago were immersed in the joy of the Queen’s birthday celebration, were now fully armed with elf bows and arrows and, flapping their wings, appeared en masse in the skies above Ice Waterfall City like locusts. Most of the escaped prisoners were unprepared for the escape; they had no plan and no organizer and were all fleeing chaotically. "Prisoner team spotted, shoot to kill!" A red-haired elf captain, leading fifty to sixty elf archers, commanded from a high vantage point. Upon spotting escapees, they showed no mercy. Flaming arrows fell like shooting stars, and this time, they weren’t using Sealing Demon Arrows but deadly arrows infused with magic attacks. The magic arrows shot towards the escapees, turning some into fireballs and others into icy fragments. In an instant, fifty to sixty elf archers had killed several prisoners. Yun Sheng, holding the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither, did not immediately flee Ice Waterfall City. Instead, upon hearing the elves’ horn, she ran towards the living quarters of the Elf Warriors, as opposed to heading out of the city. Since most of the Elf Warriors had gone out to hunt the escapees, the normally tightly guarded palace was left less defended. Yun Sheng searched several rooms. After knocking out an Elf Warrior she encountered, she barged into one of the elves’ rooms. The room still had wine and fruits set out for today’s birthday celebrations. It seemed to be more luxurious than the others, probably the residence of a small team leader of Ice Waterfall City. Yun Sheng rummaged through the room and indeed found her previously confiscated Beast Language Ring and Magic Wand. After securing the ring and scepter, Yun Sheng found a map of Ice Waterfall City’s defenses in the room, completing all her preparations for escape. She opened the map of city defenses and quickly identified her current location. Yun Sheng confirmed that the northwest corner of Ice Waterfall City was a weak point in the defense, and she could breakthrough there to leave the city successfully. Yun Sheng stowed away the defense map and was about to step out of the room when several people burst through the door. Leading the group were an arrogant Xuan Meimei and Ye Xia, together with several martial artists and mages. It turned out Xuan Meimei had insisted that Ye Xia find Yuan Bupo, but the prison for male prisoners was already empty. When Xuan Meimei was searching for individuals, she noticed Yun Sheng and quietly followed her along with Ye Xia. "Hand over the defense map," said Ye Xia, whose experience in escaping was ample. She knew that to flee Ice Waterfall City, she must have the defense map; otherwise, they would eventually be killed by the elves. "Why bother talking, just kill her and take it!" Xuan Meimei couldn’t wait to kill Yun Sheng, thinking that once Yun Sheng died, Brother Bu Po would give up on her. "If you want to kill me, you’ll have to see if you have the ability," retorted Yun Sheng as she took out the Magic Wand. She began chanting, and to everyone’s surprise, a pair of wings sprouted behind her. She cleverly used Earth Escape Magic to dodge Ye Xia and Xuan Meimei, fleeing the room. Given the dire situation in Ice Waterfall City, Yun Sheng had no intention of getting entangled with Xuan Meimei and the others. In an instant, she had already completed a Combined Battle Skill with Bobbie. "What are you waiting for, chase her down and kill her!" Xuan Meimei was frantic. The group was armed, having killed a few elves on the way and seized their weapons. The mages immediately began chanting, with Ye Xia no longer hesitating. If the jailbreak was successful, she could see daylight and have a slim chance of survival; if it failed, the enraged elves would undoubtedly seek fierce revenge. Ye Xia’s fighting spirit surged sharply, and a pair of barely visible Fighting Spirit Wings emerged on her back. It turned out that during the ten years of her imprisonment, Ye Xia had made a breakthrough in her fighting spirit. Under the influence of the Emperor’s Song, she had begun to grasp the ability to fly with fighting spirit. Ye Xia leaped into the air, followed by a barrage of Magic Attacks, hot on Yun Sheng’s trail. The mages also unleashed their Attack Magic, with Wind Blades, Water Arrows, and Fireballs converging on Yun Sheng in a coordinated assault. Seeing this, Yun Sheng swung her Magic Wand. "Bang bang bang," the ground was as if strafed by countless bullets. Dozens of Earth Spurs burst from the ground, fierce and vicious, mixed with Dark Power – clearly the improved Dark Thorns by Yun Sheng. The mages, caught off guard, were impaled through their feet, their blood flowing profusely, and they fell dead on the spot. Such is the domineering nature of Dark Magic – unused it lies dormant, but once released, injury is assured. To her enemies, Yun Sheng never showed mercy. She released several Dark Thorns in one go, tearing the smooth ground apart as if it had been struck by a magnitude six earthquake.
