The doors of each cell were opened one by one, and more than a dozen Transforming Force warriors finally regained their freedom.

Jiang Fa glanced at the crowd and quickly counted the number of people.

There are a total of fifteen Transforming Force warriors imprisoned on the third floor.

Except for people like Zhao Zhong, Lie Changkong, Shui Qingqian of the Flying Swallow Martial Hall, Zhou Nantian of the Zhou Family, Liu Bochong, and the county Meng Qiuran,

There were a few faces that he didn't recognize, but they all had strong auras and were at least Transforming Force or above.

"Seniors."

Jiang Fa lowered his voice and spoke very fast, "Time is urgent, I will keep my story short."

In a few words, he briefly explained the current situation to everyone.

"We have to get out of here before the guards change and find something unusual."

After listening to what he said, Meng Qiuran suddenly asked a key question, "Since the exit of the dungeon has been firmly blocked by them, how can we get out?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Fa...

Wang Chengde stood on the high platform in the front yard, looking gloomily at the billowing smoke rising in the direction of the backyard.

The fire burned in three directions at the same time, and thick smoke emitted from the three fire points almost at the same time.

The fire spread so quickly that the heat wave could be felt across half of the house.

"Report!"

A nursing home leader rolled onto the ground and rushed to the high platform.

He said anxiously, "Master! The fire is too strong and the brothers cannot suppress it! There is a lot of tung oil stored in the warehouse in the west courtyard. Once the fire started, it exploded. It has spread to the side courtyard. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the entrance to the dungeon will also be affected!"

Wang Chengde suddenly turned around and stared at his face like lightning. "How is the entrance to the dungeon?"

"It's okay for now!"

The leader swallowed and gasped. "The fire was blocked from the side courtyard and could not reach the dungeon for a while, but... but if the wind was stronger, it would be hard to say..."

"Trash!"

Wang Chengde slapped his palm on the railing, and the railing shattered.

"Three fires broke out at the same time. It was clearly someone who deliberately set the fire! Are all your night watchmen blind? Someone touched your home and set it on fire, and you didn't even see a shadow?"

The leader was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Go home, the fire started too fast and fiercely, especially in the west courtyard. The firewood pile was poured with kerosene and caught fire as soon as it caught fire. Apparently someone had done something in advance!"

Wang Chengde's face was livid, and his chest was heaving violently.

Of course he knew that someone set the fire deliberately.

It was also clear that the people in the city who had slipped through the net wanted to use the fire to create chaos and take the opportunity to save people.

"What are you panicking about?"

At this moment, a gray shadow fell silently on the high platform.

You Zhong stood with his hands behind his hands, his thin face illuminated by the firelight.

Wang Chengde felt a shiver in his heart. "Elder You, the fire started strangely tonight, just before the secret envoy started refining the elixir. I'm worried it's coming to the dungeon."

You Zhong did not answer the call immediately.

His eyes fell on the thick smoke rising from the backyard.

"How's it going over there in the dungeon?"

"Return to Elder You, I have deployed manpower from various places to guard the entrance to the dungeon."

A look of confidence appeared on Wang Chengde's face. "Although the fire is strong at the moment, if anyone wants to take advantage of the troubled waters, they will probably end up in vain."

You Zhong nodded slightly after listening.

"You are very thoughtful."

Wang Chengde quickly handed over his hand. "This is Wang's duty. I don't dare to ruin the important matter of the secret envoy."

You Zhong said nothing more, just stood there, still looking towards the backyard.

Under the firelight, his brows suddenly frowned.

Wrong!

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked at Wang Chengde: "Did you just say that these people are here for the dungeon?"

Wang Chengde nodded. "Besides this, Wang can't think of any other reason."

"Why do you think those people set the fire?"

You Zhong frowned more and more tightly.

Wang Chengde immediately replied, "Of course he broke into the dungeon to save people in order to create chaos."

"But why can they break in?" You Zhong said in a cold tone, "The entrance to the dungeon is impregnable. With the strength of those who have slipped through the net, breaking in forcefully is tantamount to death."

Wang Chengde was slightly startled when he heard this. "Elder You means..."

"I always feel like something is wrong."

You Zhong frowned and took two steps slowly on the stage. "It is true to set fire to create chaos and save people while taking advantage of the chaos, but the premise is that they must have the ability to break through the defense line at the entrance of the dungeon. If they don't have this ability, setting the fire will be in vain."

He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wang Chengde: "Unless... their real purpose was never to break in from the outside."

When he said this, his expression suddenly changed. "Oh no!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from where he was.

Wang Chengde's pupils suddenly shrank, and he also thought of some possibility.

"Everyone, follow me to the dungeon!"

He suddenly shouted sharply at the several nursing leaders behind him.

When You Zhong and Wang Chengde rushed to the entrance of the dungeon, the two men in gray robes on duty were guarding both sides of the iron gate. When they saw the two coming, they quickly bowed and saluted.

"Is there anything abnormal inside?" You Zhong asked in a deep voice.

The man in gray robe at the head hesitated for a moment. "Go back to Elder You, the person who just changed the shift went down, but no one came up."

You Zhong's face changed suddenly.

"How long?"

"It's been a while..." the gray-robed guard replied hesitantly.

Wang Chengde frowned. He looked at You Zhong and expressed the doubts in his heart. "Elder You, the dungeon is heavily guarded, and the prisoners are suppressed by Essence-Locking Chain. Ordinary people who sneak into the dungeon are simply throwing themselves into a trap. Could it be that those who are changing shifts are delayed inside?"

You Zhong did not answer the call immediately.

He knew that Wang Chengde was right. The guards in the dungeon were not weak, and Essence-Locking Chain's effectiveness was also undoubted. Ordinary warriors would only fall into a trap if they entered.

As for the body-refining warriors who are not bound by Essence-Locking Chain, he has already ordered them to be held in solitary confinement, so it stands to reason that everything in the dungeon will be absolutely safe.

But the more he thought about this, the more uneasy he felt.

No!

You have to go and see for yourself.

But the moment his palm touched the iron door handle.

A sense of crisis suddenly hit me like a poisonous snake climbing up my spine.

His heart tightened, and his scalp felt numb, as if there was an invisible sharp blade hanging on the back of his neck.

Almost out of instinct, the powerful Sha Qi in his body exploded like water bursting from a dam. The gray-black power quickly condensed on the surface of his body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a thick protective air shield, covering his entire body.

The next moment.

Bang!

An extremely dull loud noise exploded in the corridor at the entrance of the dungeon.

The heavy iron door seemed to have been hit hard by an invisible beast. The entire door panel broke away from the door frame and flew backwards with the roaring wind.

You Zhong, who was standing behind the door, had no time to dodge.

That power was so overbearing that even his Peak Transforming Force cultivation level felt completely threatened at this moment.

Boom!

The iron door hit his protective body Gang Qi firmly.

The gray-black Sha Qi trembled violently and made a harsh cracking sound.

You Zhong felt as if his chest had been hit head-on by a wild bull running wildly, and all his internal organs were displaced at this moment.

His feet left the ground, and his whole body flew backwards uncontrollably.

Before the two gray-robed guards behind him could react, they were hit hard by You Zhong's uncontrollable body.

Click.

The clear sound of bones breaking echoed in the air.

The two gray-robed guards spurted large amounts of blood from their mouths, and their bodies fell to the ground together with You Zhong like kites with broken strings.

"Elder You!"

Wang Chengde's face changed drastically.
