Gu Chen swiftly killed the three Sacred Land elders from Burning Heaven Valley, Mount Tianzhu, and the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, then he rushed into Tiandu's dungeon, heading straight for the ninth level.
The dungeon of Da Xia had a total of ten levels, with the bottommost reserved for those sentenced to death, in conditions most grim. The fact that King Huai had locked Gu Chen's second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, and his family on the ninth level spoke volumes of his intentions.
Along the way, not a soul in the dungeon dared to stop him. Gu Chen, radiating murderous intent, caused the jailers who saw him to tremble with fear.
Soon, Gu Chen arrived at the ninth level of the dungeon. Looking at the dark, damp, and icy cells, his brows furrowed as he searched for his uncle's family.
However, after a thorough search, he found nothing, not a single person; they had all disappeared without a trace.
