When the four of them approached the stronghold, they were discovered by the guards. The wax statue sounded the alarm, and a group of guards rushed out from the stronghold and surrounded Shen and the others.
"You are … Lord Shen and Lord Sasuke!" When the guards approached, they recognized Shen and Sasuke and said respectfully.
"Take us to Jugo!" Shen did not care about these guards and went straight to his destination.
"Jugo? Is it … is it … now? " The guards seemed to have received Orochimaru's order, so they did not question him. Instead, they asked in fear.
"Yes, take us there now!"
"I … I know … Ida, you … you take Saki-sama and Sasuke-sama there!" A man who seemed to be the leader of this group said to a thin guard beside him.
Hearing the leader's name, the other guards seemed to let out a sigh of relief. Then, they looked at the guard called Ida with a look of schadenfreude, sympathy, and pity.
"What … what? I … I'll go? I … "The guard who was called out was shocked as he spoke in disbelief. Moreover, he seemed to be so frightened that he couldn't even speak properly.
"Yes, it's you. Don't say anymore. Hurry up and take us there!"
"But …" The guard named Ida wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Shen.
"Enough. Don't talk nonsense. Take us there. I know what you are worried about. Don't worry. Since we asked you to lead the way, we will ensure your safety. Let's go!"
"Uh … yes!" The guard named Ida had no choice but to bite the bullet. He knew what would happen if he disobeyed the order.
"My … Lord, please follow me!" Taking the keys from their leader, Ida turned around and greeted Shen and the others. Then, he led the way with a trembling voice.
"Let's go!" Shen called out and followed first. Sasuke and the others followed behind.
Under the guard's lead, Shen and the others passed through cell after cell. Most of the prisoners inside were chained up or had heavy iron balls tied to their feet to restrict their mobility. However, without exception, all of the prisoners had bloodthirsty looks in their eyes and ruthless auras emanating from their bodies.
"Hey! I don't think I've seen those guys before. What are they doing here? " The prisoners also noticed Shen and the others. They sneered or shouted at Shen and the others, "Hey! Kid, are you Orochimaru's new pets? Come over to me … Let me tear you all apart! "
However, Shen and Sasuke turned a deaf ear to these clamoring voices and did not show any dissatisfaction. They still silently followed behind Ida.
However, Shui Yue did not have such a good temper. How annoying! Boss, should we get rid of them? "
"Don't waste time. They won't be able to live for long anyway!"
"Yes! Yes! Really, I knew you would say that! "Shui Yue said helplessly.
"Wait … You guys … The direction you're going, could it be that … you're coming for Jugo?" Amidst the clamoring of the prisoners, one of the prisoners suddenly realized Shen and the others' intentions and exclaimed. When the prisoner shouted Jugo's name, the other prisoners who were still clamoring instantly calmed down. Their expressions became fearful and cold sweat broke out on their heads.
"You guys … Could it be that you're coming for Jugo? What are you trying to do? "
"Hehe … We just want to take Jugo away and make him our partner!" Shui Yue chuckled and said to the prisoners with a relaxed expression.
"Hey! You guys … Do you know what you're doing? If you let that guy out … we'll all be killed! "One of the prisoners shouted in horror.
"I think so too. However, it seems like my boss won't listen to me! Besides, I don't think he can kill me! "Shui Yue said disdainfully.
"Hey! What kind of joke is this? A guy like you will definitely be killed by Jugo! "Another prisoner sneered and looked at Shen with disdain.
"Hmm?" Hearing the prisoner's words, Shui Yue, who felt that she was being looked down upon, felt displeased. Her expression turned cold and she stopped in her tracks.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Shen coldly snorted and activated his Kaleidoscope on the prisoner who was mocking Shui Yue. A black flame suddenly burst out from the prisoner's body and instantly enveloped him.
"Ahhh … What is this?" After Shen's Amaterasu ignited the prisoner, the prisoner let out a heart-wrenching scream. No matter how he slapped at the black flame on his body, he could not extinguish it. All he could do was roll on the ground and scream until he lost all signs of life.
Shen's ruthless methods shocked the prisoners, including Shuiyue and the others. Shuiyue was glad that she did not anger Shen back then. Otherwise … Shuiyue could not help but shudder when she thought of that! The prisoners did not dare to make a sound. In an instant, there was complete silence.
"Let's go!" Shen acted as though he had done something insignificant. He did not seem to care at all and called out to Shui Yue who was behind him.
Although Shui Yue was afraid, he knew that Shen had taken action because of him. Therefore, he was very grateful to Shen. "Yes! Boss … "
After a brief interlude, Ida finally brought Shen and the others to a prison cell. The prison cell's door was completely sealed and no one could see inside. Furthermore, there were many chains hanging outside the prison cell's door, sealing the cell's door.
"My … My Lord! Chung … Chung … It's inside. I … I … "Ida took out a key. His entire body was trembling as he spoke to Shen cautiously and conscientiously.
"Open the lock!"
"Ah … Yes …" Ida trembled as he tried to insert the key into the keyhole. However, due to Shen's nervousness, he did not succeed after a few tries.
"Tsk! Really, let me do it! " Shui Yue impatiently snatched the key from Ida and inserted the key into the keyhole. As a result, Ida seemed to have been provoked. He screamed in horror and ran outside as though some terrifying monster was about to escape from the cell.
"That fellow, what's going on? Is he that scary? " Shui Yue was speechless as he watched Ida run away. He could not help but complain. However, his hands did not stop moving. Soon, all the locks were unlocked.
"Wait."
Just as Shui Yue was about to push open the cell door, Shen spoke up to stop him. He said, "All of you, step back. I'll open it!"
"Mm? Got it! "Shui Yue stepped back and made way for Shen. At the same time, his eyes were filled with caution.
Shen stepped forward and reached for the cell door handle. He then pushed the cell door inwards.
