Then, he looked at Shannon and asked, "You are familiar with South Cloud Royal City. Can you find a way to save him without being discovered by the city guards?"
Chester placed his hopes in Shannon after some thoughts.
After all, she was Quincy's elder sister and the South Cloud World's former empress.
At that moment, all eyes in the hall were on Shannon, with a look of expectation on their faces.
After thinking for a while, Shannon nodded and said, "Yes. There is a secret passage near the city's north gate, which leads to the prison. My men had dug that tunnel when Yang Jian led his troops to attack South Cloud World. At that time, I thought if I could not defend the Royal City, there would be a way out, but we didn't get to use it."
Chester was overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately requested that Shannon draw a detailed map of the secret passage.
A few minutes later, Chester put the map away, quietly left the Hidden Hero Sect with many elites, including Dax, and rushed to South Cloud World.
...
On the other side, in South Cloud Royal City.
Zack sat on the throne in the hall, wearing an emperor's robe and exuding a mighty aura.
All the civil and military officials stood neatly and respectfully.
It was the first time Zack had summoned officials to make plans for court affairs since becoming the Emperor.
Zack had a sudden realization after asking about everything. He asked a general, "Is there anything wrong with the two felons in prison, Hector? They will be beheaded in two days, and we can't afford to make a mistake."
Hearing the question directed to him, the general called Hector came out quickly and reported, "Your Majesty, I have tightened the forces around the prison. I don't think that the two criminals will escape."
Hector's expression became more complicated after those words. He was about to say something but hesitated. "But—"
Zack frowned and asked, "But what?"
Hector took a deep breath and lowered his head. "I just got the news that the Carter Family might come to save them. Even though Darryl is nowhere to be found, Chester and Dax are heroes in that world. If they come to get the criminals, I'm afraid I can't stop them."
