Wherever Lu Fan went, one prison door after another was forcibly opened by his powerful strength, the sturdy chains broke one after another, and all the tightly closed prison doors were wide open.

The prisoners stared in astonishment at the suddenly opened prison gates; some of them could hardly believe their eyes.

Soon the prisoners began to stir, and some of them cautiously began to leave their cells, their eyes filled with doubt.

But as more and more cell doors were opened, all the prisoners came out.

Seeing the unconscious guard on the ground, the prisoners finally believed that the miracle had truly happened.

All the prisoners surged outwards like a tidal wave.

At the same time, Lu Fan returned to Lu Yun's side once again.

Looking at his unconscious father, Lu Fan's eyes flickered with complex and unfathomable emotions, but he still picked Lu Yun up in his arms.

My father's body was very light; he barely felt any weight.

Lu Fan immediately activated his ability, and black energy emerged from his body, like a thick fog, quickly enveloping the two of them.

"Whoosh."

Lu Fan and the middle-aged man disappeared from the prison.

Beside the armored vehicle, the black sword suddenly trembled, and then Lu Fan instantly appeared next to the black sword. He had successfully teleported back with Lu Yun.

Lu Fan casually pulled out the black sword and put the unconscious Lu Yun into the armored vehicle.

One of the healing-type awakened individuals in the car immediately stepped forward to check on Lu Yun's condition and began to treat him.

Li Yu stared wide-eyed in surprise at the sudden appearance of Lu Fan and the middle-aged man.

"Instant teleportation?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Fan possessed such an astonishing ability. This was simply too incredible. Not only could he move quickly himself, but he could also teleport others with him.

It's one thing to have a difference in attack power, but how come there's such a big difference in other abilities as well?

Lu Fan completely ignored Li Yu's surprised reaction, got into the armored vehicle, and turned to Li Yu to say:

"Time is of the essence. I'll go back to Qingcheng first. You can come back slowly on your own."

"Drive quickly."

Lu Fan decisively gave the order, and the armored vehicles started at full power and began their return journey, quickly disappearing from the road ahead.

Li Yu and Fu Xiyao stood there, watching Lu Fan leave in a daze.

"It seems we should leave quickly too." Li Yu glanced back at Yan City.

"Hmm." Fu Xiyao nodded, her expression solemn. She could sense the frenzy among the crowd in Yan City.

The two quickly mounted Xiao Hei and began their journey towards Qingcheng.

Alarms blared throughout Yan City.

The entire city instantly descended into chaos, with Awakened Ones and soldiers running around in a hurry.

"What's the situation?" a middle-aged officer asked anxiously into the walkie-talkie in the command room.

"The prison has fallen, and all the prisoners have escaped."

The voice coming through the walkie-talkie trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the other party was also shocked by this sudden turn of events.

"Damn it! Immediately launch a full-scale manhunt for the fugitive." The officer's face contorted with anger, then, as if remembering something, he gave the order again:

"Where's Jiang Lie? Go find him quickly!"

The Awakened Team from Yan City quickly arrived at the place where Lu Fan had appeared earlier.

When they arrived at the scene, they found only Jiang Lie sitting on the ground.

"Quickly check on Captain Jiang Lie's injuries!" a squad leader shouted.

"The rest of you should cordon off the area."

Seeing that he was suddenly surrounded by a large group of people, Jiang Lie's eyes showed fear.

His body trembled involuntarily, like a frightened child.

One of the Awakened Ones, unaware of Jiang Lie's expression, quickly stepped forward, gently lifted Jiang Lie up, and tried to help him stand up.

However, Jiang Lie's reaction was unexpected by everyone.

Jiang Lie suddenly waved his hand, and a surge of raging flames roared past.

Flames accompanied the destruction, instantly igniting several nearby Awakened Ones, their screams echoing across the Flame City.

"Stop! Jiang Lie, it's us!" one of the awakened ones shouted, trying to bring Jiang Lie back to his senses.

"Wah." Jiang Lie's voice was choked with sobs as the flames burning on his hands quickly engulfed another person.

"He's insane! How could he dare kill his own people!"

"What's wrong with him?"

The squad leader's voice was filled with doubt and anxiety; he couldn't understand why Jiang Lie had become like this.

"Something's wrong. It seems like Jiang Lie is under an extremely powerful hallucination."

"Don't come near him, he's in great danger right now."

Looking at the burning flames, the squad leader's eyes were filled with vigilance; even he could not withstand Jiang Lie's attack.

Jiang Lie waved his hand again, and the buildings next to him instantly burst into flames.

"We must bring it under control immediately, otherwise it will cause even greater casualties." Seeing the fire spreading rapidly, the squad leader made a quick decision.

That being said, the remaining Awakened Ones all knew that this was Jiang Lie, a super-powered individual, and how could they possibly be a match for him?

To think they could control Jiang Lie with their own power was simply wishful thinking.

The squad leader and his team members looked at Jiang Lie nervously, none of them daring to step forward rashly.

"It seems you've run into some trouble. Do you need my help?" A deep voice broke the tense silence.

Several figures appeared on the scene like ghosts, their movements swift and silent, as if they had blended into the environment.

The squad leader was taken aback. His gaze swept quickly across the figures before finally settling on the middle-aged man at the head of the group.

He immediately recognized the other person, quickly saluted, and his voice carried a hint of awe.

"Shadow Master".

The shadow master ignored the squad leader and turned his gaze to Jiang Lie: "Jiang Lie, do you still recognize me?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Jiang Lie's eyes. The flames on his body continued to flicker, and his body remained tense, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

But faced with the overwhelming pressure from the Shadow Master, he seemed somewhat hesitant.

"Sigh." The shadow master sighed, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

The Shadow Master reached out and easily extinguished the flames on Jiang Lie's body in an instant.

Grabbing Jiang Lie by the neck, he firmly controlled Jiang Lie's movements. No matter how desperately Jiang Lie struggled and activated his superpowers, not a single flame could be emitted.

The shadow master didn't say anything more, raised his hand and knocked Jiang Lie unconscious with a single palm strike, then casually tossed him to the squad leader:

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him out again."

The squad leader immediately caught Jiang Lie: "Yes, Shadow Master."

The Shadow Master then turned to his subordinates and said, "Go and find out who did this, daring to attack the Eternal Flame Alliance."

"Yes." Several figures vanished like shadows, quickly dispersing to investigate the surrounding area.

Before long, one of his men returned quickly with an armor-piercing arrow.

He strode up to the shadow master and respectfully presented the arrow with both hands:

"Several buildings behind had through holes, and this was the last one we found."

The Shadow Master took the armor-piercing arrow, and his eyes instantly became incredibly sharp, as keen as a hawk's.

"This is..."
