The strange and terrifying power emitted from the sacred mountain has always been very terrifying for the human race, especially for those who have practiced the witchcraft that the human race relies on to become powerful now, they are even more afraid of snakes and scorpions.

Any wizard who dares to enter the inner ring will be suppressed by the invisible, colorless but omnipresent power of the sacred mountain, and stimulated the witchcraft spiritual power in the body to retaliate against itself, and end up with a self-immolation and death.

Therefore, for many years, no one of the wizards of the Human Celestial God Cult dared to step into the inner ring, which was also the reason why the great wizard was extremely surprised when he heard that the great wizard suddenly decided to go to the sacred mountain.

In fact, when we decided to start construction of this road to the sacred mountain, some people came out to question it, because the former advocated the promotion of this plan was the high priest of the previous generation of the Celestial God Cult.

The God Cult is an organization where human elites gather, with many masters who practice witchcraft. The high priest is generally the most talented person among them. However, when wizards led by the high priest cannot enter such a path, so what's the point of practicing it?

This question was thought about in the minds of the senior leaders of the human race and many outstanding figures of aristocratic families, and had also told the previous generation of high priests. However, the high priest later said that there was a treasure of gods on the mountain of sacred and the will of the former saints, one was eternal life and the other was power and wealth. Finally, he suppressed all his objections and began this long period of construction.

Nearly a hundred years have passed so far, and the difficulty of building the Road to Heaven has exceeded many people's expectations, and has also caused considerable losses. The human race struggled to build roads in that dangerous inner ring, and the progress was slow. Until recently, the contemporary high priest suddenly made up his mind to do anything, even if he used the lives of slaves of the wild tribe to fill it, he had to build the road to the sacred mountain, which quickly accelerated the road construction progress.

It is precisely because of such a long history but unsolvable knot that Ji Hou could not guess that the high priest was going to take the risk in person, but the decision he heard with his own ear was so firm and clear that he had no way out.

The next morning, the sky was light and the people in the Holy City had not yet woken up, and the streets were still deserted. A team of elite soldiers quietly arrived in front of the Great Pyramid. There was also a carriage that looked ordinary in the team, and finally stopped in front of the Great Pyramid.

The old man who had never taken a step from the Great Pyramid in fifty years, the high priest who was admired by countless human races in the Holy City, walked out in the morning light.

When he left the steps of the Great Pyramid, there was a noticeable pause and hesitation. Ji Honglian, who was following him, looked at the back of the high priest silently.

After a while, the high priest took a step and walked down the stone steps. In the eyes of the soldiers who were full of awe around him, he entered the carriage.

Ji Hou stood aside, with a solemn and solemn look on his face, and walked over and waved his hand. The silent army turned around again and left in the other direction, leaving Ji Honglian alone standing in front of the towering and magnificent pyramid, staring at the carriage that was leaving.

For some reason, this scene always made her feel inexplicably sad, just like separation from life and death.

After all, the place they were going was so dangerous.

This mysterious team quickly left the Holy City. Along the way, all levels and posts were unobstructed, and it was naturally the credit of the season.

Since the high priest entered the carriage, he had no sound again. If it weren't for the thin curtain hanging down the window, people might have thought that there was actually no one on the car.

While walking, Shi Hou was following the team on horseback. From time to time, he would sweep across the car with a complex and obscure gaze, and look at the figure reflected on the window frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused.

After leaving the city, the team moved faster, but not much faster. It was probably because they were old high priests who didn't want to make the horse carriage bump, so they walked smoothly.

After walking like this for a long time, they arrived at the edge of the inner ring, and also the place where the road to heaven began.

The team stopped here and prepared to spend the night. It was on this night that Ji Hou discussed with the high priest for a long time. After repeated consideration, he finally decided to take an elite soldier of fifty people to guard the high priest to the sacred mountain, and Ji Hou also went there in person.

The high priest had objections to Ji Hou's incident with the team, but Ji Hou had a very firm attitude and expressed that he would follow him in. First, he sincerely admired the high priest. The inner ring land was full of dangers, so he must protect the safety of the high priest. Secondly, Ji Hou was actually a person who knew very well about the construction process of the Road to Heaven, and other soldiers, including the high priest, knew nothing about this. If you encounter any sudden unexpected situation in the inner ring land, Ji Hou might be able to deal with it.

These two reasons finally convinced the high priest and finally nodded in agreement, but in the end, he still said with regret: "I would have loved that young man Yin He."

Ji Hou smiled, nodded and said yes, but didn't say anything more.

Yin He is of course the most suitable candidate in this situation. He not only entered the inner ring, but also lived there for three years. Especially some time ago, he also led a large number of people into it as the head of the road construction until he finally repaired this mysterious road to heaven.

Judging from the actual situation of the inner ring, there is no more suitable candidate than Yin He in the entire holy city and even the entire human race.

But now Yin He has been lying unconscious in the Great Pyramid of the Holy City, in a quiet room in the magnificent temple, where Ji Honglian is here most of the time.

At this moment, Yin He was lying on the bed, his face was haggard and pale, but his expression was much more peaceful. He didn't look too painful. It seemed that the damage suffered in the inner ring was gradually fading during the rest of these days.

Ji Honglian gently pulled up one side of the quilt and covered Yin He on his neck, covering it tighter, then sighed softly and said, "Yin He, when will you wake up?"

Yin He remained silent, his eyes were still closed, lying motionless, as if he was deafing all the sounds outside.

Ji Honglian fell silent, stared at other places and was stunned. After a while, she whispered: "My father and master, they are both about to enter the inner ring. It is said that it is the most dangerous place in the world. I, I am very worried about them..."

"Oh, it would be great if you were awake. Apart from them, you are the one I believe most in this world, and you are the one who knows the best in our holy city. If you took them in, I would be relieved."

Speaking of this, Ji Honglian seemed a little sad, and there was a bit of lingering worry in her face. But after a moment she suddenly thought of something. She turned her eyes to look at Yin He, but she seemed a little embarrassed for a moment, shook her head and said to herself: "Hey, what am I talking about. You are like this now. You must have encountered great danger in the inner ring land. How could I ask you to take the risk to that place for me again..."

She fell silent and stopped talking, but the worry on her face became heavier and heavier, and the sorrow between her eyebrows seemed to be unable to be resolved.

"But if you really encounter some great danger in it, then will my father and master also take the same path... be in danger?"
