C969 Sneaking into the Dungeon

The five tables near the kitchen were lined with dishes and wine, and more than thirty people were either sitting or standing in a mess. They glanced at the dishes and wine on the table in front of them. Their tired expressions revealed unconcealed excitement and joy. Although they were swallowing the saliva produced by the delicious food, no one moved their chopsticks.

The servants and attendants who were running around outside and the people who were busy in the kitchen all rushed into the dining hall and merged into the thirty plus people from before. In just a moment, more than fifty people had gathered in the dining hall.

Everyone seemed to be in chaos, but their levels were clearly defined. They quietly stood beside the five dining tables with dishes and wine. Even the people who were previously sitting stood up and stood beside the table.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man in his fifties, who wore embroidered clothes and had three strands of beautiful beard, looked around the crowd. Satisfied, he lightly smiled and said, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Please take your seats!" When everyone heard this, the joy on their faces became even greater, but no one made a sound. They only pulled open the nearby stools and sat around the table.

The middle-aged man did not sit with everyone. He only swept his eyes over everyone. When he saw that everyone had taken their seats, he said, "Everyone has been busy for so long. It's time for you to be hungry. Hurry up and eat. I hope everyone can eat well and drink well."

It was only when the middle-aged man finished speaking that everyone slowly attacked the dishes. However, no one spoke. Other than chewing and swallowing sounds, there was no other sound in the dining hall.

When the middle-aged man saw this, a satisfied smile gathered on his face. He lightly smiled and said, "Everyone, don't be reserved. Let go of your food and drink. We still have to clean up later. It's fine if you don't want to drink too much. I'll go to the front and take a look. I'll call you guys if there's anything. " After saying that, the middle-aged man left the dining hall and walked forward alone.

As soon as the middle-aged man left, the dining hall was filled with shouts and shouts, immediately erupting into a cacophony of noise.

Seeing this, Du Qi could not help but secretly shake his head. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard someone in the dining hall say, "Liu Jiang, Liu He, the two of you have already finished eating. Go and bring some food to Liu Ren and the others."

Du Qi looked over and saw two young men with the fiercest eating manners at the table outside. They stood up unwillingly and walked into the kitchen. One of them carried a large food container and the other held a large jar of tall beam wine. One after the other, they left from the back of the room.

Du Qi quietly followed behind Liu Jiang and Liu He. He zigzagged through several long corridors and entered a small path in the backyard.

Along the way, Liu Jiang and Liu He were only venting the dissatisfaction in their hearts, but they didn't reveal where they were going, nor did they talk about any other matters related to the Heavenly Pillar Castle. However, Du Qi still patiently followed behind them.

In the center of the garden was a six to seven zhang tall rockery that covered nearly a hundred zhang. At the foot of the mountain, there was a three zhang tall and five foot wide hole. The small path cut across the hole.

Liu Jiang and Liu He arrived in front of them. Without any hesitation, they drilled into the hole and walked forward.

Liu Jiang and Liu He were probably just ordinary Burgers in Heavenly Pillar Castle. Their martial arts were not very strong. Du Qi did not notice anyone with high martial arts cultivation in the vicinity, so he was closer to them. Especially after entering the cave, they were almost right behind Liu Jiang and Liu He.

The tunnel in the cave was slightly downward, and there was an open gate about thirty zhang away. Behind the gate, there were more than seventy steps that spiraled downwards, leading to a basement that was more than a hundred zhang in circumference. In a corner of the room, there were four strong men in their thirties sitting around the only table in Xiaofang's room.

Liu Jiang and Liu He quickly jumped down the last few steps, crossed the open gate in front of them, and entered the room. Liu Jiang said with a smile, "Hello, Brother Ren. All of you have worked hard. I have brought you delicious food."

The four people in the room had already noticed Liu Jiang and Liu He, but no one paid any attention to them. When Liu Jiang finished speaking, a man sitting at the top said lazily, "Well, it seems you are also hungry. Sit down and eat with us."

Liu Jiang and Liu He placed the food and wine on the table, and said with a flattering smile, "Thank you, Brother Ren. I still need to rush back and wait for instructions. Brother Ren, you can enjoy it slowly. I will come back later to clean it up."

Liu Ren picked up the bowl of wine that Liu He poured and said with a smile, "That's good too! Come, brothers, let's go first!" As he said that, Liu Ren clinked the bowl with the other three people before drinking to his heart's content.

Du Qi saw that there was a corridor not too long in the basement. On both sides of the corridor were rooms separated by thick logs. Every corner of the room was covered with straw. From the looks of it, this was actually the Heavenly Pillar Castle's dungeon.

There was only a cell in the innermost part of the dungeon. That person was rather thin and small. He was curled up in a corner of the room, motionless. His clothes, which could be considered pretty, were covered in blood. His white hair was hanging down loosely. It was obvious that the man must have suffered a lot when he was locked up here.

Because that person was facing the inside, Du Qi could not tell who that person was. However, when Du Qi saw that person lying on the side, he could not help but feel shocked. That person was not the Uncle Gui that he had been thinking about all day and night. Who was that?

Liu Ren and the other three who were guarding the dungeon did not have high martial arts. At this moment, Liu Jiang and Liu He had already left. Liu Ren and the other three were eating and drinking there. They did not pay attention to the situation in the dungeon at all. They also did not know that Du Qi had already sneaked into the dungeon, so Du Qi did not put Liu Ren and the other three in his eyes at all. In addition, he had already found out that there were no traps or traps in the dungeon.

Seeing Uncle Gui suffering for him, Du Qi could no longer remain calm. Thinking back to the path he had just passed, as long as he could get out of the dungeon... With his speed, he would definitely be able to escape from the Heavenly Pillar Castle before the dozen or so experts surrounded him. As long as he met up with Fann Wencong and the other three, he would be able to safely escape with Uncle Gui.

Even if he couldn't save Uncle Gui this time, he had to heal Uncle Gui's injuries. In order to avoid suffering any more pain, Du Qi walked towards Uncle Gui without any hesitation. When he found out that the cell where Uncle Gui was imprisoned was not locked, Du Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He pushed open the gate and entered the cell where Uncle Gui was imprisoned.

Before Du Qi could put his hand on the gate, he suddenly felt Gui Bu's body tremble slightly. The Qi around Uncle Gui was agitated, but in an instant, everything returned to normal.

Du Qi could not help but feel slightly surprised. He did not understand why Uncle Gui suddenly had such a reaction. Immediately. He spread out his Divine Sense and found that Uncle Gui seemed to be more energetic than before. His cultivation base had improved a lot, showing no signs of injury. This did not match Uncle Gui's current appearance.

Perhaps it was because he sensed Du Qi's divine sense, Uncle Gui's Qi gradually became stronger. However, Uncle Gui was still curled up there, motionless.

Sensing Uncle Gui's Qi, Du Qi was sure that this person was not Uncle Gui, but someone else's disguise. This was obviously a trap for him. Du Qi could not help but cry out in his heart, "That was close!"
