Looking at the bulging crotches of the prison guards, Zu An thought to himself, "If I put these guys together, won't some of them wake up with sore butts?"
He suddenly focused his gaze and noticed that a man's crotch was unremarkable. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him. "The top three aphrodisiacs in the world are useless to you. What's the point of living?"
After finishing his rant, Zuan quickly went to the corpses of the golden-armored guards, removed their armor and clothing, and then put their bodies into the Glazed Pearl.
The reason I didn't use weapons was because I was worried that the blood would stain my armor and clothes, which would cause trouble if I encountered an inspection when I left the palace.
After dealing with all of this, he opened the cell and woke up the members of the Demonic Cult.
"What just happened?" Gu Yue looked around in alarm.
Sun Luzhen and Huo Sanren tried to calm down, as they could sense that they had just been attacked by mental energy.
Zuan didn't explain, but said, "I've knocked them out. Quickly change into these clothes, and I'll take you out of the palace."
When the group of members of the demonic sect came to their senses and learned that they could regain their freedom, they were all extremely excited and rushed over to change their clothes.
Although many were captured, many of them were seriously injured on the night of the assassination, and after being subjected to severe torture over this period, many of them died one after another. Now, including Sun Luzhen and the others, there are only seven people left.
Eight golden-armored guards entered; the armor was just enough.
Zuan helped remove the embroidered envoy's restrictions from their bodies. After this period of torment, they were already extremely weak, and it would probably take them a long time to recover their peak strength.
Noticing that the other few were walking unsteadily and had difficulty, Zu An sighed inwardly and took out a few pills of wound medicine that he had bought from Doctor Ji before.
After taking the medicine, the group felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, and their energy quickly recovered. Even the weakest person was able to walk on their own.
Sun Luzhen led the group to cup their hands in greeting to Zu An: "Young Master Zu, we will remember your great kindness in saving us. From now on, we will go through fire and water for you without batting an eye, as long as you say the word."
Zuan responded with a smile, "You're all too kind. We're still not out of danger, so please don't let your guard down."
He didn't take these people's words to heart. Perhaps they were speaking sincerely at the moment, but people can change. If you really asked them to go through fire and water, probably no one would be willing.
Anyway, this was all about building up Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei's favorability; the gratitude of these people was just a bonus.
The group snapped out of their daze and agreed, reminding each other that they were still in the palace and shouldn't get too excited.
After the group changed into their armor, Gu Yue picked up his sword and was about to kill the jailers. He had been tortured by them these past few days, and now that their roles had been reversed, how could he swallow this insult?
Zu An quickly stopped him: "Brother Gu, I still have a use for these people."
Gu Yueyi said somewhat unwillingly, "But many of our brothers died under the torture of these people."
Zu An said in a deep voice, "The most urgent thing is to get you out of here. I still need them to clean up the mess."
Sun Luzhen frowned and said, "Yueyi, don't cause trouble for Young Master Zu."
He was an elder, and his prestige within the sect was always very high. Gu Yue reluctantly sheathed his weapon.
Zuan breathed a sigh of relief, waved to the crowd, and led them uphill.
Because everyone in the prison had just been summoned down, they encountered no obstacles along the way.
Upon emerging from the prison and seeing the sunlight outside, the group of members of the Demonic Sect were overjoyed. They had thought they were doomed, but they never expected to see the light of day again.
All of this is thanks to Young Master Zu.
The group looked at Zu An with immense gratitude, even Gu Yueyi, who had been at odds with him earlier, was now mostly filled with gratitude.
“I will lead you out of the palace gates. You have the Qi King’s waist token and this armor you are wearing, so leaving the palace should not be difficult,” Zu An said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Young Master Zu." The group bowed to each other.
However, the group hadn't walked far when a gentle voice suddenly came from the side: "Wait!"
Upon hearing this voice, Zuan froze, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
How could I be so unlucky as to run into King Qi here?
He noticed that Sun Luzhen and the others had quietly placed their hands on the hilts of their swords, and he quickly used his inner energy to transmit a message to them: "Do not act rashly. The person who came is the Prince of Qi, a Grandmaster."
Without needing to say much, once they learned his identity, everyone abandoned their original plan to take him hostage.
They had all heard of the name of the King of Qi. With the cultivation of a Grandmaster, even if they were all seriously injured and weak now, they wouldn't be able to defeat him with one hand.
"Where are you going?" King Qi asked, frowning.
He had just sensed the emperor's divine sense descending nearby and wondered what had drawn the emperor's attention, so he came to investigate.
Little did they know they would run into Zuan and his group.
Zu An's mind raced, and in an instant, he considered dozens of possible responses before finally saying, "Didn't the Prince of Qi send someone to summon me to see you?"
He secretly rejoiced that he was lucky he hadn't made them wear the clothes of that big-nosed guard leader, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hide it now.
Hopefully, the King of Qi doesn't recognize those ordinary guards.
He had no other choice but to take a gamble.
If all else fails, he can simply summon the emperor. If the emperor's plan to infiltrate the demonic sect fails, so be it; he can't risk his life.
King Qi said, "Indeed, I do have something to discuss with you. You may all leave now."
