Chapter 1232 - 1231: The Dungeon
Lü Donglin said, "Actually, it can’t be considered their weakness, but rather something that every big family has. Especially the big families in the Capital City, it’s even more so."
"What is the situation?" Su Yang quickly asked, his heart racing with excitement upon Lü Donglin’s fervent tone.
"It’s like this..." Lü Donglin said, "The big families in Capital City aren’t immutable and without enemies. On the contrary, to become a major family that stands tall in a place like Capital City, they definitely have many enemies. And among these enemies, many have deep-seated hatred for them. These people, after being captured by these big families, aren’t killed off directly. Instead, many of them are locked up in the dungeons established by these families. They are usually secured with their Pipa Bones locked and their entire strength sealed with silver needles, unable to escape, and they suffer all kinds of torture within so that these families can feel the pleasure of revenge."
Su Yang’s eyes lit up; he understood what Lü Donglin was getting at.
"Are you saying, to release all the people from these dungeons?" Su Yang quickly asked.
"Not only do you have to release them all, but the key point is, their strength must also be restored!" Lü Donglin said, "Otherwise, just releasing them with their strength unrecovered will still pose no threat!"
"What’s their current state?" Su Yang immediately inquired.
"Most of them just have their Pipa Bones locked and all their meridians sealed. So, neither external nor internal strength can be used," Lü Donglin explained. "Even if these shackles are removed, their meridians would be nearly withered, and it wouldn’t be easy for them to recover their strength. It will likely take a lot of time."
Su Yang pondered quickly over the situation described by Lü Donglin. Silver needles blocking one’s entire strength essentially made these people ordinary humans. Furthermore, their physical strength was gone, locked by iron chains on their Pipa Bones.
