Chapter 494 The Mysterious Man Imprisoned in the Underground Prison
"Ever since that sickly guy came back, I've always known he was secretly building some damn prison. So this is the prison he built."
"It was easy to get. It saved me from turning Yunlong Villa upside down to find this place."
Shen Zhao looked at the left protector and the leader of the men in black in surprise.
The leader of the men in black explained:
"We were raised as the Jingwei of our clan since childhood, so we are immune to all poisons. We learned this from the various trials we went through when we were young. Those who couldn't survive would have died long ago."
Shen Zhao looked at the left protector in confusion. From his tone, it was obvious that he was of noble birth in the Xuanyuan clan.
With such a noble background, does one also need to be trained to become Jingwei?
The left protector saw the doubt in Shen Zhao's eyes at a glance.
"Don't be fooled by my rough appearance, I'm quite smart."
"I volunteered to be a Jingwei. No one can force me to be one. After all, my lineage is dedicated to cultivating Jingwei."
"In the clan, only the young master can rival me. The others are nothing."
As he spoke, the left protector came to the prison door and looked at the wooden stake as thick as a bowl.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Is that sickly guy too confident in his medical skills? He thinks he's been poisoned by him and is powerless against this bowl-thick wooden stake."
"Everyone, get out of the way! I'm going to shatter this wooden stake with one punch!"
Everyone in the cell next door had a sullen look on their faces.
They were poisoned by a drug similar to a muscle softener, and were completely defenseless against the wooden stakes that they could break with one punch in the past.
It can really trap them.
The men in black pulled the limp Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng up from the ground and away from the cell door.
Chen Zhao lamented that if it weren't for these people, she, Xie Yuheng, and the people they brought with them would most likely have died in Yunlong Villa.
She, Xie Yuheng and a group of men in black were locked in one cell, while the others were locked in cells on the other side.
There was a loud "bang" and the cell door was knocked down by a punch from the left protector.
The loud noise immediately attracted the guards guarding the secret cell.
When they saw the Left Protector looking at them with a sneer on his face, all the guards shuddered.
The Left Protector said to the men in black:
"Brothers, come on! Today, let these bastards see what it means to be a Xuanyuan clan's Jingwei."
The guards guarding the secret prison wanted to escape and report the news, but Zuo Hufa and others did not give them the opportunity.
He took down all those people in just a few moves.
Take the keys to each cell door from the waist of the leading guard.
All the people brought by Prince Zhongyi, Prince Ninth, Chu Mu and Shen Zhao were released.
Chu Mu hurriedly dragged his tired body forward, looking at Chen Zhao with red eyes.
Everyone understood very well, after all, Mrs. Chu was the only woman present.
When she saw her husband, she couldn't help but look aggrieved.
Chu Mu looked Chen Zhao up and down, but Chen Zhao frowned and said emotionlessly:
"Didn't they say that Madam Feng was captured with you? You are here, but where is Madam Feng?"
Just now, Chen Zhao heard the questions from Prince Zhongyi, Prince Jiu, and Chu Mu, but he didn't hear Feng Li's.
"Madam Feng was imprisoned somewhere else by the Seventh Prince." Chu Mu recounted what had happened to her and Feng Li.
Feng Li was poisoned by the same medicine as Chu Mu at the beginning. Chen Zhao knew that she had a medical system.
Feng Li used her own system to remove the medicine from her body, intending to take advantage of the situation to save King Zhongyi, King Jiu and others.
Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince discovered the clue. He was very curious about how Feng Li could detoxify the poison he had researched himself, so he took Feng Li away alone.
The Ninth Prince was about to walk out with unsteady steps to look for Feng Li.
However, he was stopped by the men in black ordered by Shen Zhao.
They also need to take a long-term view.
At this moment, a very faint voice came into Shen Zhao's mind.
[Who is that person above?]
The sound was light and short.
Although it was fleeting, Shen Zhao was sure that she had heard it correctly.
She immediately walked up to the chief guard who was guarding the cell and asked:
"Are there other secret cells here?"
The guard leader, who had been beaten up, quickly replied:
"No, this is below the ancestral hall. It was secretly built by the young master when he returned two years ago."
The left protector cursed.
"I told you that sickly fellow was so vicious and cruel that he actually dared to build a secret prison under the ancestral hall. If the clan knew about this, they would definitely not let him off easily."
"No wonder I couldn't find this place. Even with all my might, I wouldn't dare overturn the ancestral hall."
Shen Zhao walked back to where he was just now, talking.
"No, there must be a secret cell here."
She was sure she wasn't hallucinating.
Who's up there? Who's up there?
Shen Zhao muttered to herself, and suddenly she bent down and started knocking on the ground.
“Knock, knock…”
Shen Zhao's eyes suddenly brightened.
"There's open space down here."
Shen Zhao moved again and knocked, but as she expected, it was empty.
This means there is another secret cell underneath this secret cell.
The left protector raised his fist and was about to hit the ground.
He was stopped by Shen Zhao:
“No!”
"From this position to the previous one, there's open space below. A punch from the Left Protector could put our lives and the lives of those trapped below in danger."
"There must be an entrance to this dark prison. If everyone spreads out, they will definitely find the entrance."
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, everyone immediately scattered.
Start looking for anything that looks odd.
But after everyone searched the prison like a carpet, they still couldn't find the entrance.
Shen Zhao frowned and looked at his feet.
Could it be that the entrance is not in this dungeon, but somewhere else?
Suddenly, that very shallow voice sounded again.
[Is the person above looking for the entrance?]
[How could they possibly find it up there?]
[This entrance isn't above. When I was locked up, I walked through a very long corridor.]
[After being imprisoned for decades, what am I longing for?]
[Forget it, forget it. These people should leave quickly. They are about to wake her up.]
"The entrance isn't here!"
The left protector raised his fist and punched the ground.
"You all stay away."
"This is the only open space, about the size of a cell. The rest is solid. Instead of wasting time looking for an entrance, I might as well hammer a hole in this piece of ground."
As he spoke, the left protector swung his fist, which was as big as a casserole, and pounded the ground again and again.
However, after a few punches, he actually cracked the ground.
Seeing the crack getting bigger and bigger, the left protector flew into the air, shouting.
"Open it for me!"
When the punch landed, dust rose up.
There was only a "thump" sound of someone landing on the ground, accompanied by the left protector's shouting and cursing.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh... You filled my mouth with dirt..."
Everyone quickly gathered around, and a gap about one person wide appeared in the open space in front of them. The dust that rose up had not yet dissipated, and everyone could not see the scene under the gap clearly.
Just as everyone was about to go down, they heard the excited scream of the Left Protector coming from below.
