Robbery (1)
In this way, more than a month passed, and the turmoil caused by Dong Xiuling's assassination of Thunder God gradually subsided, and the search and arrest of Thunder God soldiers gradually became slack.
It's just that there is no news from Dong Huan.
Dunche's cultivation progressed well, steadily and orderly, but Zhao Rui's cultivation was not so smooth.
The ancient curse behind him had struck again, making it almost impossible for him to practice.
This made Zhao Rui a little upset. He had gone through untold hardships and many disasters to come to the world of immortals and demons with two purposes.
One is to find out clearly the truth of the war between immortals and demons in ancient times, so as to satisfy his strong curiosity.
The second purpose is to find the ancient fairy demon who can unravel the curse behind him.
In fact, Zhao Rui is more urgent to accomplish the second goal.
He didn't want his cultivation to continue in such a tortuous way.
However, the ancient immortals and demons he knows now, apart from the god emperor, there is no other.
Zhao Rui didn't think that the god emperor would lift the curse for him, a first-level immortal who had just ascended.
Where to find, the truth of the ancient war, and where to find, other ancient immortals
Zhao Rui was at a loss. He felt that the only feasible way at present was to rescue the city lord of Tianheng City and get news of the ancient immortals from him.
Zhao Rui made up his mind, so he quietly waited for news from Dong Xiuling.
However, he waited for another half a month, but he still didn't see any movement from the other party.
Zhao Rui felt a little flustered because he had nothing to do, so he decided to go to the mansion where Dong Xiuling was hiding.
Walking around to the mansion, Zhao Rui knocked on the door, and Dong Zheng, whom he saw last time, came out.
When he saw it was Zhao Rui, he quickly let Zhao Rui in.
"Where's Miss Xiuling?" Zhao Rui asked.
"She's in the backyard." Dong Zheng replied, "You wait in the living room, I'll invite my princess right away."
Zhao Rui shook his hand and said, "No need. I'll just go to the backyard and find her."
After speaking, he went straight to the backyard.
Dong Zheng knew that Zhao Rui was a distinguished guest invited by Dong Xiuling, so it was difficult to stop him, so he had to lead the way in front of Zhao Rui, and they went to the backyard together.
After walking through the hall and winding along the corridor for a while, Zhao Rui came to the backyard.
Then he saw that Dong Xiuling was wearing white clothes, standing under a spiritual cherry tree, looking up at the snow-white spiritual cherry blossoms falling from the sky.
Dong Xiuling's noble temperament, beautiful face, graceful figure, and the falling cherry blossoms constitute a beautiful picture scroll, which is dazzling.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would hardly believe that the decisive Dong Xiuling would have such a gentle and gentle side.
Zhao Rui was stunned by Dong Xiuling's elegance, he couldn't bear to disturb her for a while, for fear of destroying this beautiful scenery.
However, Dong Xiuling seemed to sense Zhao Rui's arrival, turned her head, looked at Zhao Rui with a slight smile, and said, "Prince Zhao, you are here. What's the matter?"
Zhao Rui came back to his senses, walked over slowly, and said, "Princess Xiuling hasn't given me any news for so many days, so I want to come over and check the situation."
Dong Xiuling's fair and pretty face flashed a look of worry: "Ever since Dong Huan left, there has been no news. Without Dong Huan, the action cannot be carried out. I am also very worried about this!"
Dong Zheng suddenly interjected: "Could something have happened in the middle? If so, should we make some preparations for evacuation?"
Dong Xiuling lowered her head slightly, frowned her two curved black eyebrows, and meditated. The swan-like slender neck was so delicate that it dazzled in the "naked" air.
After a while, she said slowly: "With Dong Huan's wit, probably not. If something happens, he will inform us in advance. There is no need to make preparations for evacuation for the time being."
"Yes." Dong Zheng nodded, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.
Dong Xiuling asked Dong Zheng to step back, then looked up at Zhao Rui, and said, "Actually, I have always had a question in my mind, and I wonder if you can answer it for me."
Zhao Rui said, "What question?"
"Dong Huan once told me that you and your brother Dunche came from the human world. However, with Dunche's strength, it is impossible to ascend to the world of immortals and demons. Moreover, if you ascend in the usual way, you should not appear in the broken world." Pingyuan. What I want to ask is, how did you come to the world of immortals and demons? Also, why are you so interested in ancient wars? Even in the world of immortals and demons, not many people are willing to inquire about such ancient legends."
Zhao Rui thought for a while, then smiled and said: "This is not one question, but two. These two things are a bit complicated. I will talk about them for a while, but I can't explain them clearly. When I have a chance in the future, I won't tell you again." Late."
Dong Xiuling saw that Zhao Rui was avoiding important matters and changing the subject, knowing that Zhao Rui was unwilling to speak out, so she stopped asking.
The two chatted for a while, then Zhao Rui bid farewell to Dong Xiuling and returned to the hotel.
Dong Xiuling was in the mansion, waiting for news from Dong Huan.
She was still a little anxious, because paying off the guards of the sky prison was arguably the most important link in the whole plan. If something went wrong with this link, the risk of their rescue plan would be greatly increased.
Dong Xiuling spent another three days in anxiety. Dong Huan, who had not heard from her all this time, came back suddenly and appeared in front of her.
"How's the situation? Have you bought the guards from Tongtian Prison?" Dong Xiuling asked hurriedly when she saw Dong Huan before he could sit still.
"I bought it." Dong Huan took a breath and nodded vigorously, "The guard's name is Wang Tengda. He has been guarding the prison for two or three hundred years. He is a prison boss in the prison. This guy is "rape". He was greedy, asking for a lot of money, and guaranteed us to get in. It took me a lot of effort to take him down."
Dong Xiuling breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, it's good if he can be bribed. When did he say that he would take us into the prison to meet my father?"
"Tonight is midnight!"
Dong Xiuling nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Okay! Then we will do it tonight!"
After speaking, she summoned her subordinates and ordered them to prepare for the night's action.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Rui, Dun Che, and Dong Xiuling followed Dong Huan to an alley hundreds of meters away from Thunder God Prison.
This is Dong Huan and Wang Tengda's agreed meeting place.
The night was very deep, very dark, and there was a dead silence all around, almost no sound could be heard, it was a bit scary.
This place was originally one of the most remote places in Thunder God Fortress. It was sparsely populated, and no one wanted to live near the prison.
Zhao Rui used his full eyesight to look at the Thunder God Prison that made the gods of the entire Broken Plain turn pale.
It was a huge semi-curved rock building, the surface was covered with carvings, and there were all kinds of fairy magic circles.
From time to time, flashes of thunder flashed across the surface of the magic circle, and the sound of crackling was particularly ear-piercing in this night.
Thunder God Prison towered far away in the dark night, like a ferocious beast, with a silent grin, opened its bloody mouth, ready to tear and devour those who approached it at any time.
During the past few days, Zhao Rui heard from Dong Xiuling and others that this Thunder God Fortress imprisoned all immortal gods who were dissatisfied with Thunder God or did not satisfy Thor's greedy desires.
Although each of these fairy gods possesses powerful power, it is still difficult to escape from the extremely well-defended Thunder God Prison.
Once thrown into the Thunder God Prison, there are only two situations, either to be tortured to death in the Thunder God Prison, or to be imprisoned forever.
Zhao Rui didn't know if their plan this time would be successful.
In fact, no one can give a definite answer.
Even Dong Xiuling herself was very upset and uneasy.
It's just that as the leader of this operation, she couldn't easily express her inner worries, and she still tried to keep calm on her face.
The four of them waited for a long time in the shadow of the alley, but still did not see Wang Tengda appear.
At this time, Dong Xiuling could no longer hold back, and she was anxious in her heart. She asked Dong Huan in a low voice: "Is the prison guard you bribed reliable? Will he go back on his word temporarily, or inform Thor?"
Dong Huan lowered his head slightly, thought for a while and replied: "Probably not. That guy Wang Tengda is very greedy. I only gave him a deposit in advance. If he wants the rest of the God spar, he must bring it with him." We entered the dungeon. With his "character", he would never be reconciled if he didn't get the remaining God spar."
"That's good. I'm afraid he's not worried enough." Dong Xiuling felt a little relieved after hearing Dong Huan's words, but she still couldn't feel at ease.
At this time, Zhao Rui suddenly saw an old man in his fifties, wearing the armor of the prison guards, walking out of the prison and sneaking towards this side.
The old man, with a triangular face, was very thin, and his back was a bit bent, and he looked very cunning.
"Is that him?" Zhao Rui pointed at the old man and asked Dong Huan.
Dong Huan narrowed his eyes, took a closer look, and said joyfully, "That's right, it's him, Wang Tengda! He's here!"
Dong Xiuling also saw the old man, and she finally let go of her worry.
In any case, at least the first step was successful.
Wang Tengda got out of the dungeon, quickened his pace and entered the alley, and when he saw so many people, he suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.
With small eyes, he looked suspiciously at Zhao Rui and the three of them for a while, and then complained to Dong Huan very displeasedly: "Why are there so many people? Are you here to visit the prison or escape from prison? I can't bring so many people in! Including You can only bring two at most!"
Dong Xiuling's face changed slightly, Zhao Rui and Dun Che were her greatest help.
If the two cannot enter the sky prison, with her and Dong Huan's strength, it may be very difficult to break out of the sky prison.
Zhao Rui's face also sank. If Wang Tengda changed his mind temporarily, their plan would be ruined.
Seeing this, Dong Huan hurriedly laughed and said: "The sky prison is gloomy. My lady is timid. She dare not go in alone. You must have more people to accompany you. One of these two is our lady's fiancé, and the other is him. Brothers, none of them are outsiders."
"That's not acceptable! Absolutely not! If something happens, I can't afford it! Our deal is void." Wang Tengda turned his face away, turned around and left.
Dong Huan was in a hurry. He didn't expect that such a situation would happen at a critical moment, and Dong Xiuling lost his mind for a while.
At this time, Zhao Rui suddenly dodged and blocked Wang Tengda's way.
"Our deposit is all down, you spread it." Zhao Rui had a smile on his face, but there was a cold light in his eyes, and a fierce aura emanated from him, forcing him towards Wang Tengda.
"What do you want to do!" Wang Tengda stared at Zhao Rui and asked sternly.
Zhao Rui said lightly: "I don't want to do anything, I just want you to spit out the deposit you received. Since you don't want to help us, then don't even think about getting a god spar."
The muscles on Wang Tengda's face twitched. The deposit he received from Dong Huan had already been squandered by him.
That was a huge sum to him, and it really hurt him to spit it out now.
Zhao Rui has been paying attention to the expression on Wang Tengda's face. Seeing his appearance, he immediately guessed what he was thinking in his heart, so he continued: "It's not impossible if you don't want to spit it out. But you must bring us Enter the Thunder God Prison. Of course, we will not let you do it for nothing. We will pay you an extra 20% of the original price, which is regarded as compensation for your risk. It is up to you to decide whether to do it now. However, I told You, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to take risks. There is no such thing as a good thing in the world."
After Zhao Rui said this, Wang Tengda couldn't help but fell silent, and a fierce struggle broke out in his heart.
Zhao Rui's offer really made him tempted, and for him, it had an irresistible temptation.
However, the identities of these people are unknown, and if something goes wrong, he will take a huge risk.
After careful weighing for a long time, Wang Tengda's greed finally prevailed.
He raised his head, stared at Zhao Rui and asked: "Okay, I promise to take you in, but the reward will be increased by 30%. In addition, you must follow my instructions and not cause trouble for me. After seeing the prisoner, immediately Come out, don't stay in the dungeon, stay more! Do you understand?"
"Okay! It's a deal!" After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he winked at Dong Huan.
Dong Huan understood what he meant, and immediately took out a bag of divine spar from the storage ring, and handed it to Wang Tengda.
"This is your reward, please check carefully..."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wang Tengda snatched it away, opened it, clicked it several times, and quickly put it away after confirming that there was nothing wrong.
Probably the generous reward gave Wang Tengda enough courage.
He straightened his chest and said loudly, "Let's go."
After finishing speaking, he strode towards Thunder God Prison.
Dong Xiuling was at a loss for Wang Tengda's fickleness at first, but now seeing Zhao Rui's three eyes and two words, she persuaded Wang Tengda, she couldn't help being surprised and happy, she shot a grateful look at Zhao Rui in her beautiful eyes.
Zhao Rui smiled at Dong Xiuling, then made a gesture, followed behind Wang Tengda, and walked towards the Thunder God Prison.
The defense of Thunder God Prison is extremely strict. In addition to the extremely thick gate of the prison, there are also checkpoints one after another. Each checkpoint is guarded by several Thunder God soldiers. It is extremely difficult to break into it.
Fortunately, Zhao Rui and Dong Xiuling's group was led by Wang Tengda, so they didn't encounter too much interrogation. The Thunder God soldiers guarding the checkpoint turned a blind eye and let everyone pass.
After passing eighteen checkpoints and entering the dark and humid fifth floor of the prison, Zhao Rui, Dong Xiuling and his party finally came to the prison of the Tianheng city lord.
The thick prison gate was cast from some strange metal, and it looked extremely heavy.
The strange magic circle sealed the gate of the prison.
"We don't have much time, five minutes! We only have five minutes, understand?" Wang Tengda lowered his voice and warned in a low voice.
"I know, I know, don't worry, we won't take five minutes." Zhao Rui said with a pun, smiling.
Although Wang Tengda faintly felt that Zhao Rui's smile seemed a little weird, he didn't think of the prison robbery.
Because, in his opinion, even a lunatic would not dare to imagine the matter of coming to the Thunder God Prison to rob the prison.
He recited a mantra, then stretched out his hand and pressed it on the center of the magic circle at the prison gate.
A black light lit up in the center of the circle, and then quickly spread to the edge of the circle.
There was a teeth-stinging rubbing sound, and the prison door slowly moved to the left.
The scene in the prison was unfolded before the eyes of Zhao Rui, Dong Xiuling and others.
City Lord Tianheng was firmly locked to the wall by four thick chains engraved with magic patterns. His body was covered with cuts and bruises, his clothes were torn, and his body was covered in blood. It was obvious that he had been severely tortured.
However, Zhao Rui felt that the most painful thing for City Lord Tianheng was not the injury on his body, but the sleepy ring on his head.
The ring that was emitting black air directly bound the soul of the fairy god tightly, making it extremely painful.
With this sleepy god ring, no matter how great the supernatural powers of Tianheng city lord are, they will not be able to use them.
Seeing her father's miserable appearance, Dong Xiuling's eyes immediately turned red, and she covered her mouth desperately to keep herself from crying.
Dong Huan's face also showed a look of intolerance and anger.
Dong Xiuling walked into the prison slowly, came to her father, held back her tears, and called out in a low voice, "Father, father, wake up."
City Master Tianheng slowly woke up from a coma, and when he saw clearly that the person in front of him was his daughter, he couldn't help being shocked.
"Xiu Ling! You... why are you here!"
Dong Xiuling lowered her voice again and said, "I'm here to rescue you."
"No! No!" City Lord Tianheng twisted his body, shook his head anxiously and said, "The guards here are too strict, it is very difficult for you to succeed! Besides, even if you can rescue me from the dungeon, there is no other way. Leave Thunder God Fortress. There are tens of thousands of Thunder God soldiers in the Thunder God Fortress! What's more, there is an even more terrifying Thunder God! Once Thunder God finds out that you did it, the furious Thunder God will definitely burn Tianheng City to the ground !
You have to think about it for the millions of immortals in Tianheng City!
Xiuling, I would rather die than see you and take such a risk! "
"Father, don't worry. We already have a very detailed plan. Not only will we be able to rescue you, but we will also leave no traces, so that Thunder God can't track you down." Dong Xiuling comforted quickly.
City Lord Tianheng didn't believe it, but persuaded Dong Xiuling earnestly not to care about his life and take such a huge risk.
"Hey! It's time! Leave quickly!" Wang Tengda began to urge outside the door.
"Okay! Okay! Let's go right away!"
Dong Xiuling answered without turning her head, and couldn't help feeling anxious.
If they can't persuade their father, if his father doesn't cooperate, their rescue plan will add huge variables.
