Just as the brother and sister were immersed in this rare reunion.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Ming walked into the cell.

Ji Xiuping looked up when he heard the voice, his eyes fell on Jiang Ming, and his expression showed an expression of unconcealable astonishment.

"Jiang Ming? It's you?" Ji Xiuping could hardly believe his eyes.

His voice was filled with incredible surprise. He had never expected that the chief guardian of the Cangwu Jiang family's cave heaven would appear here.

Obviously, he didn't know that the other party had become the leader of the Greedy Wolf Army.

Jiang Ming nodded and said calmly: "That's right, Brother Xiuping, I'm here to save you."

However, what shocked Ji Xiuping even more was yet to come.

When his gaze turned to Jiang Yan, his whole body trembled suddenly.

The peerless figure who had defeated him at the opening ceremony of Cangwu Academy instantly appeared in his mind.

"Jiang Yan?! Why...why are you here?"

Ji Xiuping's voice was filled with disbelief.

Back then at Cangwu Academy, Jiang Yan defeated him with one move.

At that time, he never thought that one day he would be in a situation where he would need the other party to rescue him.

Jiang Yan's eyes were calm as he nodded slightly: "It's me."

Ji Xiuping had a complicated expression.

Pain, gratitude, and shame all flooded my heart.

He tried hard to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked. In the end, he could only squeeze out a sentence with difficulty: "How... did you know I was here?"

Jiang Yan explained calmly: "It was your elder brother, Ji Xiutian, who told us."

Ji Xiuping was stunned.

It was as if the whole world suddenly became quiet.

His eyes widened, his lips trembling slightly, and after a long while he murmured in a low voice: "Brother...he...told you?"

Ji Linger patted his shoulder gently and said softly, "Yes, second brother."

"Although my eldest brother pretends to obey our father, he has actually been helping us secretly."

"In order to save you, he had to pretend to be in cahoots with the emperor."

Ji Xiuping stared at Ji Ling'er in a daze, his heart filled with great shock.

He always thought that his elder brother had completely stood on the side of his father.

But I didn't expect that the truth behind it was so complicated.

Guilt and regret intertwined, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"So...Brother wanted to save me..."

"I'm so damn stupid! I actually misunderstood Big Brother!"

Jiang Yan looked at him quietly and added, "Your eldest brother took a huge risk to pass the news to us, otherwise we wouldn't have found you so quickly."

Tears gradually welled up in Ji Xiuping's eyes.

Complex emotions finally surged into my heart and I couldn't control myself.

He choked and whispered, "Brother... he really wanted to save me..."

At this moment, Jiang Yan saw that Ji Xiuping was extremely weak, so he took out a pill that emitted a faint glow from his arms, handed it to him, and said in a gentle voice: "Take this pill first."

Ji Xiuping wiped away his tears and hesitated for a moment.

But under Jiang Yan's calm gaze, he finally took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm breath quickly spread out, instantly dispelling the feeling of weakness in his body. His complexion improved and regained some color.

Seeing that Ji Xiuping's condition had improved, Jiang Ming said, "Brother Xiuping, at this point, I have to confirm one thing."

"Has your father really decided to defect to the Central Region?"

Upon hearing this question, Ji Xiuping's body stiffened slightly.

His face turned even paler as he recalled what he had overheard outside the study that day.

He nodded, his voice trembling: "Yes, I heard it with my own ears."

"Father... he has already decided to defect to the Central Region. He even plans to betray us at the critical moment of the battle between Cang Ling and the Central Region, offering the heads of Cang Emperor and Yue Emperor as proof of his allegiance..."

Ji Xiuping told the details he overheard that day one by one.

Jiang Ming and Jiang Yan looked at each other and made a clear judgment in their hearts.

Jiang Ming's brows were furrowed, and his voice was cold: "As expected... the Red Emperor has great ambitions."

"This old bastard actually planned to sell out the entire Eastern Region, using the lives of countless compatriots as bargaining chips to surrender to the Central Region in the vain hope of being crowned the Lord of the Eastern Region. He's simply gone mad!"

Jiang Yan's expression darkened, and his tone was stern. "Although Ji Xiutian's previous intelligence mentioned a plan to defect to the Central Region, he didn't elaborate on how the Scarlet Emperor could be so ruthless as to actually betray the entire Eastern Region... A person like him would be a disaster if he stayed, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to stay!"

Ji Xiuping was stunned when he heard this.

His eyes were filled with shock, and he looked at Jiang Yan and Jiang Ming in disbelief: "You...are going to deal with Father? You...are planning to..."

He originally wanted to ask "catch" or "kill", but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated, after all, that was his father.

Jiang Ming said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiuping, now that the information has been confirmed to be true, the Red Emperor should pay the price for his choice."

Ji Xiuping subconsciously said, "But, with your current strength, can you deal with the Emperor?"

"He possesses the Red Flame National Fortune and is a true Emperor-level warrior. You..."

In his impression, although the two were stronger than him, they were only at the Wanxiang Realm.

Even if he managed to break through the Soul Realm during these days, he would still be far behind his father who possessed the combat power of an Emperor Lord.

Hearing this, Jiang Ming smiled mysteriously, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Brother Xiuping, don't worry, although our strength is 'weak', it is enough to deal with your father."

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression instantly became restrained.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the thick stone wall.

Jiang Ming sneered and said, "It seems that we don't need to look for your father..."

Ji Xiuping's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Ming's smile gradually deepened, and there was a hint of playfulness in his tone: "He came here by himself."

Following Jiang Ming's gaze, Ji Xiuping suddenly turned around and fixed his sight on the entrance to the dungeon.

His face turned pale instantly: "Father...Is the Emperor here?"

Jiang Yan walked forward and gently patted Ji Xiuping on the shoulder.

"Don't panic, we are here."

His tone was gentle, yet full of unshakable confidence.

..........

at the same time.

Outside the dungeon.

The Red Emperor, along with Prince Shun and a team of elite soldiers, had quietly set up an encirclement.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the air, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

The Red Emperor's eyes were as sharp as knives as he glanced coldly at the dark dungeon entrance.

The feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger, but on the surface he still maintained the composure of an emperor.

He quietly transmitted a message to Prince Shun through his spiritual sense: "Prince Shun, who do you think broke into the dungeon? Who is their target?"

Prince Shun frowned, his eyes reflecting thought. "Brother, although the prisoners in the dungeon are important, the only one relevant to our plan is Ping'er."

"If they really came for him, then it undoubtedly means that our plan has been exposed."
