Jiang Fa didn't explain anything to him.

He sat down against the stone wall, slowly closed his eyes, and took the time to carefully capture every movement in the dungeon.

Zhou Kang Seeing his appearance, he muttered a few words boringly, then retreated into the corner and took a nap.

Jiang Fa Leaned against the stone wall, his ears were never idle for a moment.

The footsteps of the guards, the occasional chatter in the cell, the muffled coughs and groans, and the changing of the guard.

He captured every sound in the dungeon clearly, and then outlined a specific scene in his mind.

It didn't take long before he discovered an important piece of information.

"These guards have to change shifts every hour, and after each shift, there is a one-hour window period in the dungeon. During this hour, no one will come down from above."

After this discovery,

He began to verify it repeatedly in the next few hours.

The result was indeed as he expected, the dungeon guards completely lost contact with their superiors within an hour after the shift was changed.

Jiang Fa Keep this conclusion in mind.

Because this information may be the key to saving people in the future.

Zhou Kang is still huddled in the corner and taking a nap, and occasionally snoring can be heard.

The people in the nearby cells seemed to have become accustomed to his snoring, and no one complained.

Jiang Fa closed his eyes and fell asleep, focusing all his attention on his ears, trying to figure out as many details of the guards as possible.

Time passed slowly. I don't know how long it had passed, but suddenly a whisper came from the direction of the stone steps.

Jiang Fa, who had been paying attention to the movements around him, suddenly concentrated and realized that it was two guards chatting there.

It was extremely quiet in the dungeon at this time, and although the voices of the two men were very low, it was not difficult to hear them clearly with his current hearing ability.

"Have you heard? Word has come from above that we will take action tonight."

A guard with a rough voice said.

"Tonight? Didn't you mean tomorrow?"

The other guard sounded a little surprised.

"The plan has changed. I don't know the specific reason. Anyway, it was the order given by the head of the family himself. It is said that the superiors have made preparations and will start work as soon as the time comes."

"So urgent?"

"Who knows, as for the big shots above, we just obey orders."

"Those people in the dungeon..."

"It's a relief. Let's finish this shift and we won't have to come back tomorrow morning."

The two guards muttered a few more words before returning to their respective guarding positions.

Jiang Fa's pupils suddenly shrank in the darkness.

Tonight?

Heavenly Demon Sect Are these people's plans ahead of schedule?

The news they had received earlier was that the elixir refining would not start until tomorrow night. If it was brought forward to tonight, all their plans would be disrupted.

There's not enough time.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

His original plan was to sneak into the dungeon, first find out the situation of the prisoners on each floor and the deployment of guards, and then rescue the people first if there was a chance.

One day's buffer time was enough for him to slowly understand the specific situation of the dungeon.

But now that time has been shortened so much, he can no longer wait for the arrival of Dark Robe Guards.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Just as he was trying to think of countermeasures, there was suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps from the stone steps on the first floor.

A guard walked down quickly from above, with a trace of panic on his face.

"Oops! Something happened up there!"

The guard with a rough voice shouted in a low voice, "What happened?"

"There's a fire in the house! Several places are burning at the same time. The fire is extremely intense. There's chaos up there. The owner of the house guesses that someone set the fire deliberately, and the target is the dungeon. The owner of the house has given orders for the dungeon guards to immediately dispatch half of their men to guard the entrance."

"Take half of it?" The guard with a rough voice frowned. "What should we do down here?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

The guard said anxiously, "These people are all locked up and can't escape. The fire outside is almost reaching the backyard. The owner of the house said that the entrance to the dungeon is the most important thing. Hurry up, don't delay, I have to inform the adults on the two floors below!"

The guard with a rough voice looked stern when he heard this and no longer hesitated.

He then shouted in a low voice, "Everyone, come out!"

Five figures walked out of several Jiang Fa invisible corridors. They were all dressed in black and carrying knives at their waists. One of them was holding a bamboo whistle in his hand, which was obviously a hidden whistle responsible for warning.

The guard with a rough voice gave a brief explanation and then hurriedly led two of them up the stone steps.

The remaining three guards began to guard the intersection of the three corridors.

At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the entrance to the second level of the dungeon.

Jiang Fa looked sideways and saw three guards with at least the aura of Late Dark Force appearing in the field of vision. They walked straight towards the stone steps at the entrance of the dungeon without saying a word.

Shortly after the three figures disappeared on the stone steps, two more figures in gray robes appeared silently at the entrance to the second floor. The guard who reported the message before followed respectfully behind them.

Jiang Fa observed carefully and found out.

The gray-robed man at the head has a particularly strong aura, and he is at least a master of Middle Stage of Transforming Force or above.

When a guard guarding the corridor saw the two people appearing, he subconsciously shrank his neck, his face full of respect. "Sir."

The leader of the gray-robed man just said "hmm" and continued walking up the stone steps without even looking at him.

As a few people left, the dungeon became completely quiet.

Jiang Fa opened his eyes, and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

Most of the guards on the third floor of the dungeon have been taken away in one breath.

Two Transforming Force masters and nearly half of the guards went to the entrance of the dungeon. At this moment, the defense inside the dungeon was extremely empty.

Needless to say, this fire was obviously Gu Qingyan's handiwork.

With the fire, Wang Family the attention of the nursing home and the gray-robed man will inevitably be distracted, which is what they had discussed before.

Jiang Fa Close your eyes and concentrate.

There were vague noises from above the dungeon, with rapid footsteps and vague shouts coming down through the thick stone slabs. He could no longer hear clearly, but even he could feel the tension.

The fire was obviously more violent than expected.

"This fire burned at the right time."

Jiang Fa thought in his heart.

He originally thought Gu Qingyan and the others would have to wait until at least tomorrow night to take action, but he didn't expect it to be so far in advance.

It seems that they also got the news that Heavenly Demon Sect plan is ahead of schedule.

At this time Zhou Kang had woken up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "What's this noise? It sounds like something happened up there?"

Jiang Fa did not answer, but slowly sat up straight.

He moved his wrists. Although the strength in his body had been restrained, his body was always in a state of being ready to explode at any time.

Jiang Fa suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Kang with a very serious expression. "Do you want to go out?"
