Ch 401: Rescue From The Heavenly Prison
At this time, within the dungeon responsible for imprisoning serious criminals.
Due to fear of being implicated, the guards stationed here had long since left, going elsewhere to hide.
The Great Priest and Chu Xinghe swaggered right in.
“Brother, who are you? Quickly save me!”
“Let me out, I’m innocent!”
“…”
The prisoners confined within the dungeon, upon seeing the two, cried out for help one after another.
The Great Priest ignored them.
Chu Xinghe, following the memories in his mind, passed through one gate after another within the dungeon, bringing the Great Priest to where his clansmen were imprisoned.
The dungeon was as oppressive as ever.
Even though the outside world was engulfed in such chaotic battle, the inside of the dungeon remained like a pool of stagnant water.
The Great Priest walked along the corridor, shouting, “Meng Hu, where are you?”
He shouted several times in a row.
Several unusually doubtful voices suddenly came from the prison cells inside.
“Am I hallucinating? I actually heard the Great Priest’s voice?”
“I think so too.”
Upon hearing the voices, the Great Priest’s expression brightened. Without hesitation, he walked towards the source of the sound, arrived before the cell door, and with a raised hand, smashed it open.
“Thankfully, you’re still alive!”
The Great Priest’s usually calm expression finally showed a hint of excitement.
Meng Hu and the others looked at the Great Priest in a daze as he unlocked their shackles, only reacting after a long while.
“Great Priest, it’s really you!”
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
“How did you get here? This dungeon is so heavily guarded, how could you just barge in? If you were caught too, our Star Luo would truly be doomed!”
Meng Hu said sternly.
“You don’t know, the Divine Palace has changed hands…”
The Great Priest shook his head and recounted the events of the recent period.
After hearing this, everyone was momentarily incredulous.
The Divine Palace, which had almost destroyed their Star Luo, was about to change masters?
“Alright, this place is very chaotic now, nobody knows what will happen, we shouldn’t stay long.”
The Great Priest walked out of the cell, looked at Chu Xinghe, and asked, “Where is Chu Jiao?”
Upon seeing Chu Xinghe, Meng Hu and the others’ expressions suddenly became very complicated, and they didn’t speak.
Chu Xinghe, who had remained silent from the beginning, pointed to the last cell at the end of the corridor.
“Quickly get her out, let’s leave here quickly.”
The Great Priest came to the last cell.
After he broke open the cell, Chu Xinghe, without a word, entered the cell first.
At this time, Chu Jiao’s limbs were bound by chains, her figure thin, her face pale, her lips devoid of any blood, and her eyes exceptionally numb.
“Sister…”
Chu Xinghe’s voice choked, as he came before Chu Jiao.
Chu Jiao looked at her younger brother with a complex expression, saying nothing.
He carefully untied the chains binding Chu Jiao.
“I kept my promise, I came to save you.”
She had heard the commotion outside the cell, and she knew the current situation.
Originally, she thought she would suffer in the dungeon for the rest of her life, her heart already filled with ashes, but she never expected to be rescued at this moment.
It all felt unreal, like a dream.
“Sister, let’s go.”
Chu Xinghe tried to help Chu Jiao up.
Chu Jiao slowly shook her head.
Seeing this, the Great Priest sighed softly and said, “Are you still blaming Xinghe?”
“This child Xinghe never had any intention of betraying us, you don’t know…”
The Great Priest slowly recounted Chu Xinghe’s previous actions.
Hearing that Chu Xinghe had decided to die in the Western Ting to save them.
Meng Hu and the others’ eyes involuntarily reddened.
Chu Jiao stared blankly at Chu Xinghe, her expression suddenly becoming extremely complex.
It turned out that Chu Xinghe hadn’t abandoned them, but had silently done so much for them, even disregarding his own life, just to save them.
“Young Master, we have wronged you.”
Meng Hu and the others lowered their heads and said sincerely.
“It’s all in the past, what’s the use of talking about it, let’s go quickly.”
Chu Xinghe waved his hand, just as he took a step.
A thin arm rested on his shoulder, Chu Jiao leaned against Chu Xinghe, and slowly said, “I’m sorry.”
“Let’s go home…”
Chu Xinghe grasped Chu Jiao’s hand, then nodded heavily, and without a word, walked towards the outside of the dungeon.
As everyone walked out of the cell.
“Great Priest, you take them away first!”
Chu Xinghe glanced at his clansmen and entrusted Chu Jiao to the others.
Then, under the Great Priest’s astonished gaze, he resolutely rushed towards the Imperial Palace.
“Chu Xinghe, what are you doing, come back!”
“Xinghe, don’t do anything foolish!”
Regardless of the calls from the Great Priest and others who had recovered their senses, he remained unmoved.
Chu Xinghe’s gaze was exceptionally firm.
He had never forgotten one thing: his Master, Li Hanzhou, had been killed by the Fake Emperor for his sake, and he had to avenge his Master!
Now that his clansmen had been rescued, he had no regrets left, only this one revenge, which he must take no matter what.
Chu Xinghe quickly arrived at the battlefield outside the Imperial Palace, and upon appearing, he used the Great Celestial Phenomenon Art to attack the Black Armored Imperial Guards.
His appearance quickly attracted the attention of others.
“Your Highness, it’s one of the people who saved me in Yunshui City!” Pang Wang reported immediately after seeing Chu Xinghe.
Li Hanzhou looked at Chu Xinghe, his eyes slightly surprised.
Although he had already guessed from Pang Wang’s previous report that the ones who had helped in Yunshui City were the Great Priest and Chu Xinghe.
He also knew that they must have wanted to rescue their clansmen at this time.
“Don’t mind him.”
Li Hanzhou instructed, then looked at Chu Xinghe intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, Chu Xinghe was his disciple, even if he didn’t recognize him now, he couldn’t stand idly by.
If Chu Xinghe encountered any danger, he would immediately intervene.
Although the Black Armored Imperial Guards were brave.
But those present here could be considered the strongest force in the Divine Palace, so in less than five minutes, the Black Armored Imperial Guards were all dead.
Corpses and blood mingled together outside the Imperial Palace, a very bloody scene.
Only Yuan Wuji was left struggling.
His body was covered in blood, his figure disheveled, and the saber in his hand was gradually becoming exceptionally slow.
The Saber Lights he cut were not as sharp as before.
When he swung his last Saber Light, it was easily blocked by Xiao Tiansheng, who then came before him, raised a foot, and kicked Yuan Wuji into the Imperial Palace.
“Form Ranks!”
Xiao Tiansheng took a deep breath, and as the Bei Qi army formed ranks and surrounded the entire Imperial Palace.
The group exchanged glances, and stepped into the Imperial Palace one after another.
