Chapter 116: Entering the Palace
On the second day, the city gate was opened again, and there was still an endless stream of people entering, Chen Tian and Ke Hong came to the city gate to meet the others, and with the guidance of the two, everyone came to the courtyard where they lived without hurry.
Fortunately, the courtyard is quite spacious, able to accommodate more than a hundred people, and after everyone gathered, Ke Hong counted it, and there were exactly one hundred and nineteen people, except for the one who died yesterday, everyone else had already entered the city.
It was noon, which was not a good time to act, and after several people deliberated, they prepared to act in the evening, so everyone crowded into the small courtyard, waiting for the night to come.
During this time, Chen Tian found paper and pen, and asked Kan Yue to draw a more detailed map of the palace, and several people looked at the map for a while to study, and counted all the possible factors, although the chance of winning was not great, but everyone had no way out.
Gradually, night began to fall, and the huge imperial city was shrouded in darkness, and everyone changed into night clothes, rushed out of the small courtyard where they lived, and rushed to the palace in the center of the imperial city.
Outside the palace, Ke Hong instructed Xu Shu to lead everyone to ambush outside the palace, ready to answer at any time, Chen Tian, Kan Yue, Xiaoyu and him entered the palace to rescue Kan Jie.
Originally, he wanted to keep Xiaoyu, but Chen Tian felt that it might be useful to bring her, so he brought her with him.
Several people covered their faces with a black cloth, and then put on hats on top of their night coats, which could hide their bodies well in the night.
After getting ready, the three big and one small four figures rushed into the palace, perfectly bypassing the guards according to the route marked by Kan Yue, and kept approaching the dungeon where Kan Jie was imprisoned.
Along the way, several people encountered several groups of patrolling soldiers, but there was a sign on Kan Yue's map, and several people easily dodged.
The dungeon where Kan Jie was imprisoned was built underground, and it could only be accessed through a long passage connecting the dungeon, but there were soldiers guarding the passage every two meters, and the entrance to the dungeon was guarded by two strong men of the Imperial Sword Realm, and it was impossible to enter without the emperor's order.
At this time, Chen Tian and the others had already come to the entrance of the dungeon, and a few people hid their breath, hiding in the dark and looking towards the entrance, and saw an iron door closed, and two strong men of the Imperial Sword Realm wearing armor and holding halberds were standing on both sides of the entrance, and it was impossible to enter silently.
Chen Tian squatted down and whispered, "General Ke, can you see how heavy those two are in the Imperial Sword Realm?" ”
Ke Hong shook his head and said, "If you don't do it, you can't see it." ”
Chen Tian's brows couldn't help frowning, it would be a bit troublesome not to know their specific realm, and it would be troublesome to find out that the two of them were stronger than Ke Hong.
Just as Chen Tian was pondering, the voice of the Ancestral Natal Sword slowly came, "The strength of the two of them is in the Fifth Tier of the Imperial Sword Realm. ”
Chen Tian's eyes lit up, and he thought about how to forget the immortal-level natal sword, but before Chen Tian could speak, the immortal-level natal sword said again: "Don't you want me to help, I can only provide you with this information, and it is impossible to make a move." ”
"I know!" Chen Tian said, and then reconfirmed: "Are you sure they are really the fifth level of the Imperial Sword Realm?" ”
"I won't lie to you about this kind of thing." The immortal-level natal sword transmitted.
Hearing this, Chen Tian was also relieved, since it had said so, it seemed that there would be no mistake, otherwise he really couldn't believe in the immortal-level natal sword, after all, he hadn't been cheated once or twice.
After confirming, Chen Tian said to Ke Hong on the side: "Can you contain the two fivefold powerhouses of the Imperial Sword Realm?" ”
Ke Hong looked at Chen Tian suspiciously, and asked, "You mean that their strength is in the Fifth Tier of the Imperial Sword Realm?" ”
Chen Tian nodded.
Ke Hong was even more puzzled and asked again, "How do you know?" ”
"I have my way, you don't care!" Chen Tian said casually.
Seeing that Chen Tian didn't want to say, Ke Hong didn't ask any more, but replied: "It should be able to contain the time of half a stick of incense, and after half a stick of incense, it may alarm others." ”
"Half a stick of incense." Chen Tian muttered, and then said, "Okay, then you can contain them for half the incense time, and leave the rest to us." ”
"Will it work?" Ke Hong asked uneasily.
"It has to work!" Chen Tian affirmed.
"Okay, we must rescue General Kan Jie." Ke Hong said seriously.
"Don't worry!"
After receiving Chen Tian's assurance, Ke Hong slowly retreated and came to the other direction, Chen Tian and the others also hurriedly hid their figures, and after Ke Hong led the two away, it was time for them to act.
As soon as a few people hid, Ke Hong made a move, only to see a black shadow rushing away, appearing in front of the two people in an instant, and then slapped out with two palms.
The two were startled, and hurriedly raised their halberds to block, Ke Hong's palms slapped on the halberds of the two, the two were shocked back two steps, Ke Hong bullied up, smashed one person in the door with a punch, and kicked the other person.
The two of them had never seen such an arrogant person, and they were furious, raised their halberds and smashed them down.
Ke Hong quickly withdrew the kick he kicked out, and then grabbed a person's halberd and slapped it at the person's face with a palm.
The man raised his arm to block, and Ke Hong's palm slapped on the man's arm, and the man took a few steps back again, and at this time, another person came from the side, and the halberd swung and smashed into Ke Hong's back.
Ke Hong hurriedly retreated, and the halberd that was smashed down with a palm slap then turned and burrowed into the darkness.
Seeing that Ke Hong fled like this, the two who were caught off guard were furious, and they chased after them with their halberds, and they were not at all worried that someone would take this opportunity to break into the dungeon, because the iron door at the entrance could only be opened with the blood of the emperor.
After Ke Hong led the two away, Chen Tian and the three of them also hurriedly acted, and one dodged to the entrance, wanting to push open the iron door, but no matter how hard several people tried to push the iron door, they couldn't move.
Chen Tian frowned, and gently knocked on the iron door, trying to find out the mechanism that opened the iron door.
Kan Yue tried a few times but still didn't respond, and there was a hint of anxiety on her face, but soon her eyes lit up, and she remembered some things that her sister had told her before, including that her father liked to set his blood as a way to open some mechanisms.
Thinking of this, Kan Yue hurriedly cut open his palm and dripped blood onto the iron gate, and soon, the blood dripping by Kan Yue was absorbed by the iron gate, and just when Chen Tian was puzzled, the iron gate that they had worked hard to move slowly opened, and a black passage appeared.
Chen Tian was overjoyed, and before he had time to hesitate, he rushed into the passage in a flash.
After entering the passage, a few people had just walked a few meters forward when they saw a soldier standing on the edge of the passage with a knife, and the soldier also noticed them, and before they could shout, Chen Tian broke his neck.
Although the movement was light, no other soldier noticed it, after all, there was a distance of two meters between them.
"Who?" The man immediately shouted, and soon the others were alarmed, and they all rushed towards Chen Tian and the others with their knives.
Now that it had been discovered, Chen Tian and the others no longer hid, and quickly made a move, and in the blink of an eye, they eliminated more than a dozen soldiers who rushed up.
But there was a steady stream of people rushing in the depths of the passage, as if there was no end to it.
Chen Tian took out the enemy, slashed out with a sword, and a sword qi flew out quickly, cutting off the few people in front of him in an instant, and then rushed forward to fight with everyone.
Kan Yue and Xiao Yu also made a move, killing into the crowd, those soldiers had no power to parry at all, and it didn't take long for Chen Tian and the others to deal with it.
But Xiao Yu only injured them, and did not die, in order not to be exposed, Chen Tian had to make up for a sword, completely solving their lives.
