Chapter 765
…
The darkness has enveloped the town and has created a dreary atmosphere as people are holed up inside their own homes unsure of what would happen to them and their families. The people that are left in the outer part of the town are only servant level and the rest of the silver and gold level immortals can be seen in the inner part of the town.
Shin Jiao can feel that the array barrier covering the looming castle that is the town hall is very strong. As he carefully studies its surface, he could feel that the one who erected such a powerful barrier is an expert level array master. And in this town only two men are capable of doing this, Ji Ha-jun who already followed him, and Guan Santos the level 81 array master.
As Shin Jiao carefully scanned the array barrier in front of him he slowly found some clues on how to enter and exit the barrier.
He looks around and approached the barrier. Then he carefully squatted while both of his hands are extended touching the ground.
"Domain…"
As he stretched forth his domain, he could immediately feel the extent of the array barrier underground.
"Hmm… 2 meters…" he muttered with a smirk.
Shin Jiao suddenly disappear from the place he was squatting on and then reappear near a building. This is the place that is a bit inconspicuous and has less guard as it is a dead-end.
As soon as he appears, he immediately throws six stones on the ground, and then an array was immediately formed. When the array was formed, his figure suddenly vanished.
Not long later, from inside the well-protected town hall castle, a stone tile on the ground began moving. Then it slowly floated as a head peaked inside.
"This is the food storage…" he muttered.
Shin Jiao could smell some kind of aroma inside the storage. As he looks around he could see many types of preserved food along with some green vegetables and dried meat.
Shin Jiao did not touch anything as he knew that this is the town's reserve. He would not want those lower-level town folks to suffer because of him, hence he just walks out of the storage and followed a path towards the dungeon.
Not long later, after evading some of the patrolling guards, Shin Jiao arrive in an underground area. He immediately scanned his surroundings and noticed that the dungeon walls have arrays on them. He knew that the array would prevent anyone from escaping.
He could see around ten guards inside the dungeon and some of them are doing some atrocious things on some of the captured women.
Shin Jiao did not want to observe such a scene and just looks at the prisoners.
Around 300 people are jam-packed in the dungeon cells. He noticed that there are some silver and gold armored prisoners too.
Shin Jiao suddenly had an idea.
If he could take these people to his village, then it would be a great boost for him. With the increase of population comes man-power and helping hands to continuously make his village grow.
Upon thinking up to this point, Shin Jiao stealthily enters the dungeon.
The two soldiers guarding the door were taken aback when his figure suddenly materialized. But before they could react, the katana which appears in his hand as soon as his figure materialized from the shadows was already swung.
Two heads rolled to the ground.
Shin Jiao did not stop there and suddenly drew an array formation in the air which flew and landed on the ground. With the array formation creating a magic circle, a golden light appears and envelopes the dungeon.
Then he suddenly heard people began wailing as they rolled on the ground in pain.
Shin Jiao noticed that some of them are even among the prisoners.
"I knew that they have planted some spies among the prisoners, what a clever deception." He muttered as he immediately darted towards the guards and killed them.
After finishing the guards, he walked back to the main entrance and immediately created a barrier on the door.
Shin Jiao suddenly appears in the middle of the dungeon.
With his appearance, the people inside the cells were greatly surprised.
"I am here to rescue you all. But it seems that there are spies among you. Those that have fallen on the ground, please eliminate them…" Shin Jiao said then waited.
Not long later, ten bodies were dragged towards the cell doors.
"Good, now let me introduce myself…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.
"You are Master Si Ji, right? Master, we are willing to follow you!" one of the silver-level prisoners shouted.
"Yes! Save us, master! We don't want to stay in this place anymore!" shouted the rest of the prisoners.
Suddenly a beautiful woman crawled towards Shin Jiao with her bloody figure and tattered clothing. She then sobs while lifting her head.
"Save me, master… Please…" she said.
Shin Jiao could tell what the woman has been suffering all this time.
"Alright, everyone should follow my command and proceed in an orderly manner." said as he began to draw magic array formation in the air.
Shin Jiao created a portal inside the dungeon and then a strong energy fluctuation was felt when he activated it.
The strong energy fluctuation immediately spreads forth from inside the dungeon and out.
"Now go!" he shouted.
The prisoners in the dungeon immediately moved and ran towards the portal. Most of them are already aware of portals ever since it was created a few months ago. Hence they did not hesitate to enter it.
As the people inside the dungeon continuously enters the portal, from outside, they heard a loud banging sound.
It was like, someone is trying to break the dungeon doors.
"Please move faster!"
"Hurry up! The guards are coming!"
"Please! Please hurry!"
The people from behind the lines beckoned those in the front.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the portal where Shin Jiao's village is located, the villagers were all shocked to see a portal suddenly appearing at the center of the huge village martial arts platform.
When some people wearing tattered clothes suddenly came out of the portal, everyone showed confusion in their eyes. But soon as the number grew, the villagers immediately assisted those people who seem to have been momentary confused. They knew that congestion in front of a portal is dangerous; hence they assisted the newcomers to their village.
On the side of the portal where the dungeon is, the banging sound has already intensified.
Shin Jiao could not help but grit his teeth as he threw another layer of formation array to the door. He did not know how long the array would stand, but he could not just leave anyone behind.
As time went by, only a few people were left and are waiting for their turn to enter the dungeon.
"All of you go at the same time!" he shouted.
As soon as he said this, the dungeon walls suddenly shook. Then Shin Jiao noticed the array protecting the dungeon wall seem to have been deactivated.
"Damn it!" he cursed as he could feel the dungeon itself began to shake.
Then, as soon as the last person enters the portal, the roof on that side of the dungeon fell down and broke the portal apart.
Shin Jiao heaves a sigh as he has already seen the last person enter the portal. But then his eyes suddenly landed on the helpless woman lying on the ground. She was one of those who have been tortured and raped by those bastard soldiers.
The woman seems to be a level 65 servant, and she seems to have been targeted by those men because of her exceptional beauty and outstanding physique. He could not help but pity the young woman, but he has no time to dwell on this as he could see many soldiers suddenly pouring down from the hole on the dungeon roof.
"Its' him! It's that Si Ji bastard! We have you now!" shouted one of the soldiers while he rushes towards Shin Jiao.
Shin Jiao did not hesitate and immediately greeted that rushing figure of the soldier with a turning sidekick.
Wham!
The soldier's body was sent flying towards a group who is following behind.
Shin Jiao showed a faint smile and immediately carried the unconscious woman in his arms and then dashes towards a cell.
He then squatted on the ground and upon touching it, he created a wall of stone. And with a wave, he also began drawing formation arrays in the air which suddenly strengthened the wall of stone.
Shin Jiao suddenly feels a hint of fatigue in his body. Drawing arrays using the universe's energy drains too much of his power.
By just using it three to four times, plus the portal he made, made him exhaust almost half of the energy in his dantian spheres.
After blocking the cell, he did not hesitate and immediately touches the wall in which is in front of him. As soon as he activates his skill, the wall suddenly turned soft like mud and his figure enters the wall.
Suddenly, the wall hardens as the array protecting the dungeon walls was abruptly activated.
Outside of the blocked cell, two pompous-looking young men walked calmly while looking at the stone wall.
"Hihi… Let me see you escape this trap that you made for yourself… Hahaha…" the young man wearing a circlet laughed.
"Seven… Your plan was really awesome. But we seem to have let those other prisoners escape." The young man added.
"Lomark, those are just useless people… this town is already under our control, so don't fret about it." Seven Osmond said with a smirk.
"Let's open this wall first and see our captive…" Lomark Vale said with a sinister smile on his face.
A group of gold-level soldiers began smashing the cell which has been covered with a thin wall of stone. With their combined power and strength, the array that Shin Jiao created to hold the wall easily crumbles.
As the stone crumbles, everyone showed sneers on their faces as they enter the dust-covered cell.
