Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Chapter 105 Catching a Turtle in a Jar

"Let's go take a look!"

Chen Huo opened his palm, and the red Gu worm flapped its wings and flew away again, leading the way.

Like ghosts, the two men used the houses as cover as they made their way inside.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of a cave.

The light reflected from the torches shows that it is pointing downwards.

Clearly, this is a dungeon.

Four men stood guard outside, on either side, each holding a torch, looking ready for battle.

"One for each person!"

Chen Huo gave him a wink.

Murong Bingyun understood.

pat!

A pebble suddenly landed at the guard's feet, spinning around on the ground.

"What the hell?" one of them bent down to pick it up, saying irritably, "Which of you played a prank!"

pat!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another one appeared.

This time, however, it hit the man hard on the head.

He immediately winced in pain, and his expression tensed up: "Who's there!"

The other three also raised their torches to illuminate the surroundings.

"It's your grandpa!" Chen Huo stepped forward, toying with a few pebbles. "Is the Holy Maiden locked up inside?"

The four men were taken aback, then shouted sternly, "They're the Holy Maiden's accomplices!"

"Trying to break into the prison? You're asking for death! Seize them!"

"Hey, there's more here!" Murong Bingyun popped her head out at this moment.

"How dare you abduct people in our Leishan! Take them all down!" The four men's expressions changed, and they split into two, chasing after the two.

However, before they had taken more than a few steps, a muffled groan came from the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Huo and Murong Bingyun reappeared at the cave entrance.

Dealing with a few guards was child's play for them.

The two of them stepped inside.

The guards here were found to be very tight.

There are guards every five meters or so.

But none of that matters.

Chen Huo and Murong Bingyun moved with ghostly speed, striking swiftly.

As the firelight flickered gently, a figure silently collapsed.

The dungeon went downhill for at least ten meters.

Finally, an iron cage appeared before them.

"Big brother, big sister, you're here!" Xianyu called out softly, gripping the iron railing.

"How are you? Are you alright?" Chen Huo slammed his hand down, and the door lock snapped.

"Hehe, the Deputy Gu King is still my uncle, he won't hurt me for now!" Xian Yu revealed a sly smile, "Looks like our method worked quite well, we fooled my uncle!"

"Did your uncle get the Pure Spirit Pearl?" Chen Huo asked.

"I got it!" Xian Yu blinked. "But it was fake. My father tricked him into thinking it was hidden in the Gu King's Palace, and he couldn't wait to run and get it!"

Chen Huo followed her gaze and saw a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He had a thick, black beard and long, messy hair.

His clothes were already tattered and torn, and his figure was extremely thin; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was skin and bones.

His entire demeanor was extremely listless.

They wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them beggars!

"Xianyu, are these your two friends from the Central Plains?" The Gu King slowly opened his eyes.

"Yes, Father, let me introduce you. His name is Chen Huo, and her name is Murong Bingyun. If it weren't for their help, we wouldn't have been able to coordinate our attack from the inside!" Xian Yu introduced them to each other.

"Your surname is Chen?!" Unexpectedly, upon hearing Chen Huo's name, the Gu King's expression changed drastically, his eyes fixed on him. "The Chen family is indeed extraordinary!"

"I've finally waited for you!"

Besides him and Xianyu, there were several other middle-aged men imprisoned in the dungeon.

Upon hearing the Gu King's words, they all opened their eyes and stared intently at Chen Huo.

"Gu King, and several seniors, what do you mean by that?" Chen Huo was startled.

He seemed to have no connection with Miao territory, but the other party seemed to have known about him for a long time.

"It's a long story, let's leave here first!" The Gu King waved his hand.

Just as the group was about to leave, a muffled, cold laugh rang out, and a large group of people blocked their path.

"Deputy Gu King!"

"Uncle!"

The Deputy Gu King, wielding his scepter, still wore that forced, insincere smile: "Kid, do you really think I'm a three-year-old? That I'm so easily fooled?"

"From the moment you introduced yourself, I knew what tricks you were playing on me!"

"I've been waiting for you!"

"Uncle, you..." Xian Yu never expected that her and Chen Huo's scheme had been seen through long ago.

We're just waiting for them to come so we can catch them like turtles in a jar.

Chen Huo cursed inwardly, "As expected, the old fox is shrewder."

I didn't fool them!

"Brother, let me give you a piece of advice: stop being so stubborn!" the Gu King said earnestly. "The treasure of Miao territory never belonged to us! Now that the rightful owner has arrived, why are you still clinging to it!"

"Hmph, elder brother, you're just too dutiful! To protect the treasure, the eighteen secret masters of Miao territory have retired from the martial world for many years, and we've stayed here in the southwest region, remaining unknown!" The deputy Gu King wouldn't listen to a word. "Miao territory shouldn't be like this! The treasure should belong to Miao territory!"

"In the near future, the world will know the power of our Miao region!"

"What is a small sacrifice compared to the sacrifices made for future generations?"

"Stubborn to the end!" the Gu King sneered.

"Hehe, elder brother, the Miao village is already under my control. You're the one who's stubbornly clinging to your delusions!" The Deputy Gu King chuckled. "Now that everyone's here, obediently hand over the Pure Spirit Pearl!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind doing it myself!"

Chen Huo was shocked and filled with doubt.

From what they said, they were connected to the Miao region's treasure.

Moreover, is he the rightful owner of the treasure?

I've never heard of this before!

"Uncle, didn't my father already give you the Pure Spirit Pearl?" Xianyu shouted.

"Girl, stop playing tricks. You can't fool me with fakes!" The Deputy Gu King's face gradually turned cold. "I've lost my patience!"

"Alright, I'll give you the Pure Spirit Pearl!" With a flick of his wrist, as if by magic, a green pearl appeared in his palm.

The faint, translucent glow, like a luminous pearl, was exceptionally eye-catching.

"It was on you after all!" The Deputy Gu King's eyes lit up.

"Take it!" The Gu King waved his hand.

The Deputy Gu King reached out and took the pearl, confirming it was indeed a Pure Spirit Pearl. He then turned and left, saying, "Notify everyone to proceed to the Demon Cave Forest!"

"Father, are we just going to give them the Pure Spirit Pearl like this?" Xianyu asked excitedly.

"Don't rush, we still have time. Let's go out first!" The Gu King stood up.

Xianyu quickly went to help him up: "But Father, your health..."

"Don't worry, it's just a spy, Father isn't seriously injured!" The Gu King smiled slightly, and a bubble appeared on his skin, as if something was moving inside.
