Upon hearing the guard's call, Du Chen quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, besides the guard, there was also a trusted follower of Lord Norton. Du Chen had seen him before.

"General, what is the situation outside?" Du Chen asked.

The follower replied, "Zig Holiness is using words to delay the enemy and buy time for the civilians to hide underground. But sooner or later, there will be a battle! Young master, quickly pack up your essential belongings and come with me to the underground secret chamber. It's not safe on the surface!"

"Hiding underground? What if there's an earthquake like two months ago?" Du Chen asked.

"No, it won't happen! t Zig Holiness will conduct the battle in the air this time, so the damage will be minimized! Oh, young master, please hurry! When they start fighting in the sky, even a random fireball or water bomb falling down could kill a lot of people!"

Du Chen felt something strange when he heard this. This was a battle in the world of fighter god, so why did it sound like an airstrike from his previous life? They even had to hide underground like in an air raid shelter?

However, he quickly understood. Even if Zig Holiness was not at his best, he was still a tenth-level titled fighter god. If he went all out, it was entirely possible for the giant earthquakes and landslidest . And that guy outside who could summon ten thousand pythons, even a fool could tell that he was a tough opponent.

If these two fought, it would definitely create a spectacular scene like a meteor crashing into the earth.

Thinking of this, Du Chen no longer hesitated and quickly called Aliza, who lived next door, to pack up his valuable belongings, especially the box where he stored his personal items - the Sheep Horn War Hammer and the necklace given by the Skinning Titled Cultivator.

Aliza came out carrying the box and a large basket filled with beef jerky. The follower grabbed Du Chen's hand without caring about etiquette and said, "Young master, come with me!"

"Wait!" Du Chen suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and shouted, "What about my elder brother? He hasn't come back yet!"

"After Young Master Steve secured the statue, he took the Lord's protective artifact and found a nearby underground shelter for the civilians. Don't worry, young master!"

Du Chen breathed a sigh of relief and followed the guard as they ran towards the inner courtyard of the Lord's Mansion. In this world, he only had three loved ones - Old Foye, Aliza, and his elder brother Steve. These three people must not be harmed.

Along the way, Du Chen saw that the elderly, weak, and women and children of the Lord's Mansion were all hiding in the underground shelter, while the able-bodied men were all running outside. Could they be going to assist in defending the city?!

The guard led Du Chen to a secluded house in the inner courtyard and opened the floor, leading them into an underground secret chamber that was five to six meters deep.

The secret chamber was not large, only about ten square meters in size. In the middle, there was a set of table and chairs, a bed, and a cabinet filled with food and daily necessities.

After settling Du Chen in, the guard pointed to a glowing metal sphere hanging from the ceiling of the secret chamber and said, "Young master, this sphere is infused with the Dou Qi from Zig Holiness . It can also protect you!" After speaking, the guard turned and climbed up the ladder towards the exit.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"Hey, aren't you staying?" Du Chen called out to him.

"Master Francis, the enemy is being held back by Zig Holiness, but there are still many pythons, aren't there? Hehe, besides bringing you to this secret chamber, I also need to gather my brothers to deal with those pythons on the city walls!"

So he had come back to find reinforcements. It seemed that there was a lot of pressure outside the city, to the point where they had to mobilize the Lord's Mansion's personal guards!

Wait a minute, if all the skilled guards from the Lord's Mansion were called away, wouldn't that mean there would be fewer guards watching over the witch?

Du Chen decided to probe a bit.

With this thought in mind, Du Chen put on a concerned expression and anxiously said, "By the way, General, the pythons outside the city are here to rescue the witch. You must remind the guards watching over her to be alert. Perhaps those pythons might sneak in to rescue her!"

The guard smiled. Although Du Chen's reminder was meaningless, it sounded completely well-intentioned, which made him feel a bit more favorable towards Du Chen.

"Young master, rest assured. In fact, there are no guards around the witch at all, because Zig Holiness has sealed her with his artifact! With Zig Holiness's holy artifact, who needs guards? Hehe, there are almost no people in the world who can forcibly break Zig Holiness's holy artifact seal!"

Upon hearing this, Du Chen almost slapped himself hard.

Damn it, so besides the holy artifact, that girl doesn't even have a single guard by her side. It's ridiculous how he kept calculating how to bypass those guards to rescue her.

Yes, this is the world of fighter god, and a seal made by a tenth-level cultivator's artifact, even if he cast it while heavily injured, is more useful than ten thousand ordinary guards. With this, there really is no need for more guards.

Sigh, he had already heard Zig say that he used his artifact to seal the witch, but unfortunately, It's a pity that he has been so influenced by the transformation that he has lost his mind... He should have thought of this situation earlier!

Du Chen quickly summarized his experience from this incident.

The guard noticed Du Chen's slightly regretful expression and thought that he felt bored because he had made a meaningless suggestion. So he comforted him, saying, "Young master, your suggestion is actually very good. You just overlooked something that you are not good at - it is easier to force the artifact to recognize its master than to unlock its seal. Now, even if the enemy outside the city discovers the witch's location, they would need to defeat Zig Mian first. Otherwise, they won't be able to unlock the seal and rescue the witch."

"So, young master, you don't have to worry about someone attacking the Lord's Mansion to rescue the witch before Zig Mian is defeated. It would be meaningless."

The guard quickly finished speaking and climbed out of the secret chamber through the ladder. "Time is urgent, I can't say more. If I can come back alive, I am willing to discuss the knowledge of unlocking the artifact seal with you anytime, although the hope is not great..."

"May the blessings of Sigru Fighter God be with you!" Du Chen shouted loudly at his back. This servant was a good person. Setting aside the factor of the "Treasure Book," he should save the girl to resolve the conflict.

Moreover, everyone in the whole city, except for the soldiers, was hiding in the underground shelter! It was truly a heaven-sent opportunity to save people!

Although Zig's Holy artifact cage might cause some trouble, what was Du Chen's speciality?

Unlocked!

"Young master, what's wrong?" Aliza was still confused and puzzled. "Are we going to fight?"

"It's nothing, Ali Zha. Sit down first! Listen to me!" Du Chen tapped Ali Zha's chest, gesturing for him to sit down, and then ordered, "I need to go out for a while. Don't ask why. If someone comes while I'm not here, tell them that I forgot to bring the admission letter from the Fighter God Academy and I'm going to get it now."

"Oh, Alizaa understands!" He squatted in the corner, holding the box and beef jerky, no longer speaking.

Du Chen stared at the entrance and pondered for a moment, estimating that the household servant had gone far away and there was no one on the surface of the Lord's Mansion. He climbed out of the hole through the ladder.

As soon as he came out, taking advantage of the empty ground, Du Chen fully activated the Lotus Inner Qi and ran towards the statue in the courtyard. His eyes kept glancing at the sky, ready to run back without hesitation if there was a battle or any abnormality. He was now fast enough to do so.

Fortunately, Zig was skilled in the art of talking and was still engaging in idle conversation with the opponent, delaying the start of the battle.

Arriving at the courtyard, Du Chen was surprised to find that the Sigru statues here had not been hidden away. It seemed that the household servants in the Lord's Mansion were in a state of panic.

Once again confirming that there was no one nearby, Du Chen hid behind the wall and stared at the statue from a distance. He summoned three lotus talismans and fiercely threw them with his inner energy.
