Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 263 Chains

Nana also looked at Ji Lin with a strange expression. As the only female evil soul master among them, she had been arranged by the Third Elder to deliver meals to the Earth Dragon Gate Master. This was why she knew the location of his imprisonment and also knew what state the Earth Dragon Gate Master was in.

Feeling Nana's strange gaze, Ji Lin's lips twitched. He should have known better than to activate his mental detection.

Ji Lin told Meng Hongchen and the other two to wait in the cave while he went into the stone gate to rescue them.

Upon entering the stone gate, Ji Lin discovered that although the place was enclosed, it was well-ventilated and exceptionally dry, somewhat eerie but not cold.

Inside was a cell where Xiao Ye, Xu Shenshu, Feng Shen, and several other disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect were present. They did not appear to have been tortured and had no obvious external injuries.

In another stone gate, Nan Qiuqiu also spotted her mother.

This cell holds only Nan Shuishui.

"mom--"

Nan Qiuqiu exclaimed in surprise.

The next moment, she saw her mother, but this one look made Nan Qiuqiu's eyes widen instantly. Her mouth dropped open in astonishment.

The cell was far better than Nan Qiuqiu had imagined. She had assumed her mother must have suffered greatly. But what was it really like? The cell was not only very dry, but also fully equipped with a table, chairs, benches, and a bed, all very clean. Various fruits were laid out on the table. A thick carpet covered the floor. Aside from a slightly gloomy atmosphere, it was practically a luxurious bedroom!

Nan Qiuqiu's surprise was not due to the environment, but rather to her mother.

Although Nan Shuishui looked somewhat pale, she was still relatively healthy. Upon seeing Nan Qiuqiu's arrival, her gaze immediately went blank. She was sitting at the table, eating fruit. The only unusual thing was that this leader of the Earth Dragon Sect was completely naked. A thin silver chain was attached to her right foot.

"Mom..." Nan Qiuqiu's voice trembled slightly.

The fruit in Nan Shuishui's hand fell to the table with a "thud." Her face turned deathly pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "Qiuqiu."

Seeing Nan Shuishui's appearance, Nan Qiuqiu felt heartbroken, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu, why are you here? Hurry up, if that person comes back, it will be troublesome..." Nan Shuishui seemed to have sobered up a bit and hurriedly called out.

"Wah..." Tears streamed down her face as Nan Qiuqiu threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears, "Mommy, Mommy, you've suffered so much! Mommy, I'm too late. Mom..."

Nan Shuishui held her daughter, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She sighed and said, "Silly girl, it's not what you think. Mommy's fine. That guy may have ruined my clothes, but he didn't defile me. Don't overthink it."

"Huh?" Nan Qiuqiu looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, and asked, "What happened?"

Nan Shuishui said helplessly, "That guy has known me for many years. When I was young, he was your father's rival in love. Later, I married your father, and in a fit of anger, he became an evil spirit master. But he also lost his male abilities as a result. I haven't suffered much these days, except that he ruined my clothes. He comes to see me every day and takes good care of me. To be honest, I don't hate him. I even feel a little guilty towards him. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have gone down the path of an evil spirit master."

Nan Qiuqiu stared at her mother in disbelief. Although she had already heard about her mother's past from Tianlong Douluo and Granny Hua, she was still shocked to hear it from her mother's own mouth.

But Nan Qiuqiu quickly came to her senses and said, "Mom, I'll take you out first. I brought people here specifically to rescue you. We've eliminated all the evil spirit masters here. That titled Douluo evil spirit master isn't here either."

After saying that, Nan Qiuqiu squatted down, bent down and pulled up the chain, instantly releasing the pink annihilation power.

However, to her surprise, the silver chain, though seemingly slender, was extremely tough, and even her annihilation power could not damage it in the slightest.

She had already raised her soul power to its limit, turning the chains in her hands a pinkish hue. But the chains remained completely still, showing no sign of breaking.

"What the hell is this chain?! How can it be so hard?! Even my annihilation power can't break it down!" Nan Qiuqiu said with a frustrated expression.

Nan Shuishui smiled bitterly, "If I hadn't taken that Soul-Destroying Powder and could still use my soul power, I could give it a try. Before he comes back, you should leave here safely. Oh, right, give me some clothes first. If he dares to ruin my clothes again, I'll kill myself right here."

Nan Qiuqiu then realized what was happening and hurriedly took out clothes from her storage soul tool to help her mother put them on. However, the silver chains were quite a nuisance.

"Let's go quickly." Nan Shuishui finished dressing, her complexion immediately improved, and hurriedly urged her daughter.

Nan Qiuqiu shook her head vigorously and hugged her mother tightly. "No, I won't leave. I finally found you, how can I just leave like this? I must rescue you. I'll call someone to help me right now. Ji Lin, Ji Lin, come in quickly, I can't unlock the chains on my mother's feet."

Ji Lin had already rescued the disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect and was waiting for Nan Qiuqiu and Nan Shuishui outside the cave with them. Upon hearing Nan Qiuqiu's call, Ji Lin first activated his mental detection and, after sensing that Nan Shuishui was already dressed, hurriedly entered the cave through the stone door.

Upon seeing Ji Lin enter the cave prison, Nan Shuishui was a little puzzled. She had never seen Ji Lin before. She thought that Nan Qiuqiu had brought disciples from the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Earthly Dragon Gate to rescue people, but she didn't expect it to be someone else.

Ji Lin nodded slightly to Nan Shuishui and said, "Hello, Senior Nan."

Nan Shuishui sighed softly and said, "Thank you for risking your lives to save me. If these chains can't be broken, you should leave quickly before he returns. He is a Title Douluo-level evil soul master and a level nine soul master, with strength no less than that of an ordinary Super Douluo. It's too dangerous. Let's go quickly."

Ji Lin glanced at the chains beneath Nan Shuishui's feet, then summoned the Heavenly Fire Judgment. A flash of red sword light appeared, and with a clang, the chains snapped. Nan Shuishui's eyes widened in shock as soon as she finished speaking.

Ji Lin smiled. The chains were indeed very strong, and even Nan Qiuqiu's annihilation power could not harm them in the slightest. However, Ji Lin's Heavenly Fire Judgment was even stronger in terms of destructive power, and there was nothing he could not cut at this stage.

"Senior's soul power is restricted. We can only wait until we return to Dragon City to find a solution. Let's go out first," Ji Lin said to Nan Shuishui.
