Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 309 Rescue

At this moment, at the entrance to the dungeon passage.

Guan Xun swayed and easily knocked down two guards.

The movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

She glanced at the winding stone steps and immediately began to descend them.

The entrance to the dungeon is at the end of the stone steps.

As soon as you step inside, a chilly, damp atmosphere mixed with the stench of rust hits you, making your chest feel heavy.

She frowned, her gaze sweeping across the dimly lit dungeon before locking onto the massive iron chain covered in unusual patterns.

Before his gaze could settle and before he could even take a step forward, a hesitant voice came from the bottom of the pit: "Master... is that you?"

Guan Xun was taken aback.

It really is Crimson Fusion! It is indeed imprisoned here.

Her words carried a hint of teasing: "It's been so long, you don't even recognize my scent?"

These words, falling to the bottom of the pit, immediately sparked a burst of wild joy.

"Master! It really is you!"

Chi Rong's voice suddenly rose, trembling uncontrollably.

The next second, the ear-piercing clanging of chains echoed in the dimly lit dungeon.

Guan Xun quickly dodged over and looked down, only to see a huge figure desperately trying to climb upwards in the deep pit.

The rubble scraped against the pit wall slowly fell down.

Chi Rong was breathing rapidly, and all the muscles in his body were tense, as if he was trying to break free of the shackles on his body.

But the iron chains, covered with special patterns, tightly bound its limbs, and every struggle only made the chains tighten.

It was unwilling to give up, and a low growl escaped its throat.

Looking up at that familiar figure, its heart was filled with a mixture of ecstasy and a little grievance, and its eyes shone with an almost scorching light.

I never expected my owner would risk their life to save me...

The clanging of the chains was particularly jarring in the deathly silent dungeon.

Guan Xun frowned and said in a low voice, "Don't make too much noise."

Before she finished speaking, she had already half-squatted on the ground.

As my fingertips touched the intricately patterned iron chain, a chill instantly spread through me.

She stroked it a few times, her eyes darkening, and murmured, "It really is a seal..."

This seal could completely isolate and lock away aura and spiritual power, no wonder she couldn't sense Chi Rong's aura at all.

Even though it has the body of a divine beast, it is now no different from an ordinary demon beast because it is bound by this seal and cannot use any spiritual power.

However, looking through the gaps in the iron chains, Chi Rong's condition was not bad. He did not appear to be on the verge of death, but rather full of energy.

Chi Rong could not suppress his excitement, and he pulled on the iron chains even louder.

Its crystal eyes widened, and it tilted its head, constantly looking up. It then turned around restlessly, trying to see what was happening outside.

However, the blind spots in the deep pit were too large, and it could only see Guan Xun squatting on it, looking down and stroking the iron chain, pondering a way to break through with a serious face.

"Master, how many helpers did you bring?" it asked hurriedly.

"What helper?" Guan Xun asked without looking up.

Chi Rong was stunned for a moment: "My rescuers, a whole group of them! You didn't come alone, did you?"

"More or less." Guan Xun's fingertips were still exploring the lines, and after a pause, he casually added, "Bai Ze is outside providing support, so he can barely be considered half a person."

"...?" Chi Rong.

Chi Rong in the deep pit trembled. His master actually dared to break in all by himself?

It was about to shout when it suddenly realized what was going on.

The owner must have been very confident to have gotten here so quietly; his skills must have improved considerably.

Thinking about it, it couldn't help but take a few more glances at Guan Xun, but the bottom of the pit was sealed and isolated, and it couldn't sense any trace of his cultivation aura.

He could only mutter in silence, "The Second Princess's strength..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Guan Xun frowned even more: "Shh! Be quiet, stay away, I'm going to break this seal."

As soon as she finished speaking, spiritual energy condensed at her fingertips. Just as the halo was about to climb onto the iron chain pattern, the surrounding void suddenly rumbled.

A dull tremor spread along the stone wall, and even the stone ground beneath our feet trembled slightly.

The vibrations made the iron chains rattle.

Chi Rong's crystal pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank. His voice, which had been filled with excitement just moments before, became extremely solemn: "Master, Ling Qi has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Xun's expression darkened slightly.

Ling Qi has arrived? Then her whereabouts have probably been discovered.

The tremors became increasingly violent—

Suddenly, a whitish crack appeared in the void, and a pungent, fishy stench swept in.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal white shadow, obscuring the sky, snaked its way out of the crack.

It was none other than the Eight-Headed Serpent, Lingqi.

Its pure white scales shimmered in the dim firelight, and a gruesome scar remained on its neck, the mark blackened but appearing to have healed long ago.

The remaining seven python heads slowly raised, their vertical pupils as red as blood, and swept down with a chilling gaze.

Its massive body, as it spiraled around, filled most of the dungeon space.

It flicked its cold, metallic tongue, its gaze fixed on the figure at the edge of the pit.

Ling Qi's appearance did not cause Guan Xun to stop her actions in the slightest. Her spiritual power surged and she slammed it hard against the iron chain.

"boom!"

The dull thud caused the iron chain to vibrate, and the sealing patterns on its surface dimmed for a moment, cracking open with a hair-thin fissure, but it did not completely break.

Seeing the movement of the sword striking the iron chain, Lingqi's head snapped down instantly, followed by a low growl from his throat.

"Where did this lazy bum come from, daring to trespass here!"

As they spoke, the thick python tail swept across with a powerful gust of wind.

Guan Xun's face turned cold. He could no longer care about slashing at the seal. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly moved to the side, barely avoiding the attack.

The python's tail slammed heavily onto the iron chain.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the newly formed crack was smashed even wider.

But Ling Qi was completely unaware that several heads were firmly locked onto Guan Xun as he landed, their snake eyes surging with violent killing intent.

They shook each other, as if exchanging glances, before coldly pressing for answers.

"who are you?"

"Are you in cahoots with that guy Chi Rong?"

"You're here to save it?"

"Damn it! How did you get in here?"

Guan Xun glanced at him coldly, sneered, and cursed, "Fool."

He immediately stopped paying attention to it, his gaze falling back to the deep pit of iron chains where Chi Rong was imprisoned, and his figure once again darted back like an arrow.

"Jin Chen, stop it for me!"

She didn't turn her head back, leaving only a shout behind her.

Lingqi was stunned on the spot.

Idiot? How dare you call it an idiot?

The heads stared at each other blankly.

That tone...that expression...it was so familiar that it made its heart skip a beat.

Why does it feel exactly the same as when the eldest princess trained it back then?

Could she be the eldest princess?

No, not possible!

It shook its head violently, its tongue bobbing restlessly. When it looked up again and saw Guan Xun heading straight for the iron chain, its anger flared up once more.

With its huge mouth wide open, it swiftly lunged down to bite the figure below.

However, just as it was about to touch the hem of Guan Xun's clothes, a powerful, invisible pressure suddenly descended.

Ling Qi was caught off guard and was hit hard!

"boom!"

The thud was deafening, and Lingqi's massive body was slammed to the ground.

The pressure caused sewage to splatter everywhere, and the entire dungeon shook violently.

Its bones creaked under the pressure, and its body twisted into a bizarre arc.

Several heads were pressed tightly to the ground, unable to lift themselves, and could only let out helpless screams.

The moment the invisible spiritual energy swept out, Jin Chen's figure suddenly appeared.

His white robes trailed on the ground, his icy blue eyes gleaming with coldness as he looked down at Ling Qi, who was pinned to the ground.

That indifferent gaze sent chills down one's spine.

Lingqi struggled to twist her body, but the more she moved, the more her bones broke.

The clicking sound sent chills down one's spine.

It struggled to raise its head, its crimson eyes filled with terror: "Who...who are you?!"

Just looking into those icy eyes gave me a suffocating sense of oppression that coursed through my entire body.

This person's aura was in no way inferior to that of a goddess.

With the noise behind him subsiding, Guan Xun seized the opportunity to raise his hand sharply, and dark flames immediately surged out, condensing into a huge curved scythe in his palm.

The sickle sliced ​​through the air with a sharp, hissing sound.

Without further hesitation, he gripped the scythe handle tightly with both hands, poured all his spiritual power into it, and then suddenly raised his arm!

"Bang!!! Buzz—"

The dark flame scythe slashed down heavily, and the iron chain shattered with a loud bang.

It broke into several pieces of iron rings, which crashed and fell into the deep pit, splashing up large amounts of murky sewage that covered the entire wall.

at the same time.

Within the void surrounding the top of the Upper Pavilion Tower.

The Holy Spirit Goddess, who was sitting quietly absorbing the energy of the crystal black liquid, suddenly opened her eyes.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but it was instantly filled with overwhelming joy.

"This is... the aura of an ancient Fiery Phoenix!"

Immediately, she waved her red sleeve in mid-air, and as her spiritual energy circulated around her, she gracefully rose from the pool filled with crystalline black liquid.

Before his toes even touched the ground, he raised his hand and tore open a dark rift in the void.

The figure leaped in like a streak of light and vanished in an instant.
