Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible-Chapter 313 - Breaking the Dungeon
313 Breaking the Dungeon
In the main hall of the Iron City’s government building.
When Sun Ge came in, Xuan Wushang was sitting on the main seat. Although he was dressed in plain clothes, he still exuded the aura of an emperor.
Even so, Sun Ge still looked at him with his chest puffed out and his head raised. He did not even have the intention to nod, let alone kneel down and bow.
It was a treasonous act to not kneel in front of the emperor, but Xuan Wushang did not seem to care. From the beginning to the end, he only looked at Sun Ge with a smile. Even the maliciousness in his eyes had faded a lot.
The two of them looked at each other in silence. Neither of them had the intention to speak first.
After nearly 15 minutes, Xuan Wushang sighed helplessly and said softly with a faint smile, “It’s been many years since we last met, how are you?”
“Thanks to Your Majesty’s grace, I’m still alive.”
Sun Ge replied coldly. There was no respect for the emperor in his words. Instead, he was very rude. 𝘧𝑟𝙚eｗ𝑒𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝑒𝚕. c૦𝙢
Xuan Wushang sneered and didn’t mind. He changed the topic and asked, “You should have seen Chen Tianqi on the way back, right?”
Sun Ge nodded and did not say anything. Xuan Wushang glanced at his empty hands and frowned. “Since you’ve already seen Tianqi, why didn’t you bring me that man’s head? Did Tianqi not make it clear enough to you?”
“No, he made it very clear.”
Sun Ge shook his head and stared at Xuan Wushang with burning eyes. “But I don’t understand what the point is. According to my observation, it was an accident that he came to the Iron City. He doesn’t seem to know that you…”
“Sun Ge!”
Xuan Wushang suddenly spoke, and his originally gentle expression suddenly became cold. “Although there are only the two of us here, if you break the rules, I won’t show mercy to you either.”
Sun Ge sneered. He paused for a moment and said, “I’ve already locked that person in the dungeon. I’ll ask you one last time, why do you want to kill him?”
Xuan Wushang frowned slightly. “This is my private matter. Right now, I can’t reveal too much to you, but I still want you to believe me. Killing him will benefit everyone.”
“It will benefit you, right?”
Sun Ge’s expression suddenly darkened. “You know that I’m not his match, but you still gave such an order—I don’t think you want to kill him, but you want to kill me, right?”
“Sun Ge! What are you talking about!?”
Xuan Wushang revealed a sorrowful expression. He lowered his voice and said excitedly, “We grew up together! Anyone in this world can harm you, but not me.”
“You make it sound so nice!”
Sun Ge waved his hand angrily. Just as he was about to say something, hurried footsteps suddenly approached. The two of them subconsciously looked at each other and tacitly stopped talking.
Almost at the same time, a man in black rushed into the hall in a panic. Before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly shouted, “Brother Sun, bad news! There’s a fire in the dungeon!”
“What?!”
Sun Ge’s expression changed. He quickly turned around and rushed out. He saw thick smoke rising from the direction of the dungeon. The flames had already lit up most of the night!
“It must be that guy’s doing!”
Xuan Wushang followed them out and said coldly, “Don’t just stand there! Everyone, quickly put out the fire. Be careful not to let anyone escape!”
“As you command!”
Everyone responded and rushed to the dungeon.
Sun Ge was about to follow when he was suddenly pulled back. He turned around and saw Xuan Wushang staring at him with a serious expression.
“What exactly are you thinking?”
Xuan Wushang asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Help me? Or not?”
Sun Ge’s expression darkened: “Are you really going to talk about this now?”
Xuan Wushang looked at Sun Ge and did not speak, but his grip on Sun Ge’s hand had already made his attitude clear.
Sun Ge hesitated for a moment before sighing heavily. “I will never kill the innocent, but I can control him first and wait for you to explain before making a decision!”
“Sun Gei, I…”
He grabbed Sun Ge and said in a deep voice, “I can’t stay here for long… Think about it seriously. I’ll come again tomorrow morning!”
Without waiting for Sun Ge to reply, the white robe on Xuan Wushang’s body suddenly surged and wrapped around his body like clouds. Eventually, it disappeared with a gust of wind.
Sun Ge stood alone in the courtyard. He looked at the white clouds in the sky and pondered for a moment before rushing towards the dungeon.
By the time Sun Ge rushed to the dungeon, the fire was already under control. The thick smoke from before had mostly dissipated.
Sun Ge quickly looked around and found that the dungeon door was still closed. There were no signs of damage.
However, there was nothing strange about this. After all, the entire dungeon was made of metal. Apart from the hay spread on the ground in the cells, there was nothing else to burn.
Returning to the main entrance of the dungeon, Sun Ge saw Elder Ge standing in the distance with a bucket in his hand. He wanted to ask what was going on, but before he could take a step, he suddenly heard a dull rumbling sound.
Sun Ge subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a crack slowly opening in the tightly shut dungeon door. Moreover, the crack was still expanding!
“Elder Ge.”
Sun Ge’s expression changed drastically as he shouted anxiously, “The prisoners in the prison are very cunning. We can’t go in and check now. Hurry up and close the cell door!”
Elder Ge did not move at all. Sun Ge thought that he did not hear him. He took a deep breath and was about to repeat himself when someone in the dungeon replied loudly, “It has nothing to do with him. I opened this cell door myself!”
Sun Ge instantly recognized the voice. When he turned around, he saw that the dungeon door was already more than half open. Lin Ran and Huo Qiyun walked out slowly with their hands behind their backs. Of course, he still didn’t know their true identities
“Huo Qiyun?!”
Sun Ge subconsciously exclaimed: “How do you know how to open the dungeon door?”
“You know me?”
Huo Qiyun was stunned. He was about to say that he didn’t open it when he realized that although Sun Ge called his name, his eyes were on Lin Ran.
After a short daze, Huo Qiyun suddenly understood something. He punched Lin Ran and asked softly, “Why does he call you Huo Qiyun? Did you use my name to do something bad again?”
Lin Ran, who had been caught, didn’t know how to explain, so he pretended not to hear it. He looked at the people who had already drawn their swords and were vigilant. He took a deep breath and shouted, “This has nothing to do with you. Call Xuan Wushang over to see me!”
