Chapter 246 Book 5 Pin Hole
Azure Feather Sect – Deep Dungeon Cell
The cold seeped through the stone floor, biting even the bones of cultivators. Down in the Azure Feather Sect's deepest dungeon, the torches flickered dimly against walls etched with ancient runes that pulsed faintly in an eerie rhythm. Here, both Chi and Spirit energy were locked away, as if the very air denied their existence.
In the deepest row of cells, beyond several heavy gates reinforced by thick doors and locks, sat Li An, cross-legged and calm in her isolation. Her skin was pale, lips cracked from thirst, and faint bruises marred her side—remnants of the internal injuries she'd sustained during her previous battle. Yet, her eyes held clarity, the kind that unnerved even those used to seeing despair in this place.
