After the sects had left the three immortals, the Lan and Nie had stayed behind and made their way towards the dungeons. They released  the prisoners and cut down those that were still strung up with chains. Madame Lan, Wen Qing, and Wen Kexing examine each of them as the others had gone in search of something to eat and drink for weakened prisoners.

Lan Zhan, Wei Ying, and Huaisang ventured deeper and found more people that were locked, but these people were only servants and kitchen staff they unlocked the doors to their cells and coached them out assuring them that they would not hurt them. They were careful as they stepped out of their cells. The three young men could see the fear and distrust on their faces, but they just reassured them again that they were not here to hurt them.

As soon as the prisoners were out, they all rushed to stand against the opposite hall. They were all visible, shaking and keeping their heads down too scared to look at the three masters. Wei Ying and Lan Zhan walked deeper into dungeons and found more people and unlocked the dungeons door. Releasing everyone who they found locked up in cells. When they were sure that everyone was released and safe, they walked them all back to where the others were waiting with Huaisang.

The three led them back to where their family were, and when they arrived, they explained where they found the them all. While the three were gone, the dead were covered with white cloth and will be sent to their respective sects. Those that could still stand were led out of the dungeon after they received medical help and were fed spiritual beads to help with their golden cores and help with speeding up their recovery.

"What are we going to do with these people to keep them safe. There is about over a hundred servants here?."

Wei Ying asked with concern in his voice as he looked at the others.

"They can come live with us. There is more than enough space and we can build more houses if needed."

Wen Qing answered as she looked at the scared faces of the prisoners before her.

"You do not need to be scared. You all will be going to safe place and no one will ever hurt you again. That I promise."

Wen Qing assured the group of scared people who had looked at them all with unsure and cautious faces. After they heard Wen Qing's words they nodded their heads and they all followed them out of the dungeons and up the stairs. They walked through the thrown room and outside. Once they reached outside they walked down the stairs and gathered in the courtyard.

"Maybe we should see if their are any horses to transport them. If we transport them by sword it would take to much time. Those that can't ride a horse could ride with someone who can. What do you all think?."

Huaisang asked as he looked between the group.

"I think it's good idea. Does anyone of you know which way the stables are?."

Madame Lan asked in a soft voice seeing how scared the people were she did not want them to be scared anymore. One of the servants stepped forward and bow still a bit weary and answered.

"I do I can take you there."

The young man said.

"Thank you young man. What is your name?."

Madame Lan asked as she took a careful step towards the young man.

"My name is Wen Chen Madame."

The young man answered.

"My name is Madame Lan. Like we said we are not going to hurt you or anyone here you just want to take you all to a safe place. So could you lead the way please."
