After using his senses to scan and confirm that there was no movement nearby, Ye Chen climbed over the several-meter-high city wall first.
Then, the group continued to sneak deeper.
The sacrificial hall is extremely wide, and this is only the edge area. It is at least several miles away from the Sky Fire Altar in the center.
After sneaking forward for a mile, Ye Chen stopped, with a sly smile on his lips.
"It's the guy in front of me!"
Turning around and signaling to Li Fengyu and others, he immediately quietly approached a room ahead.
He just used his senses and sensed a faint spiritual energy wave coming from this room.
This proves that he should be a warrior or a wizard!
Before that, they only found out that the fairy root was in the sacrificial hall, but no one knew where it was hidden.
If you want to find out, you have to find the wizard in the sacrificial hall.
Sure enough, taking a glance from the window lattice, he instantly saw the people in the room clearly.
He is a gray-haired old man!
Perhaps for some reason, the old man was not wearing a headscarf. He was only wearing a thin pajamas and was holding a book in his hand.
The old man seemed unaware of the uninvited guests like Ye Chen approaching quietly, and continued to read the book in his hand with gusto.
"call out!"
Suddenly, a sharp sound broke through the air.
Before the old man could react, he felt a sharp cold light pressing against his throat.
“I have a question to ask!”
Ye Chen was very direct, and asked in a deep voice while walking in from the door.
"What do you want to ask?"
The old man seemed to realize that he was under attack. He didn't yell loudly, but he didn't panic in fear. Instead, he looked at Ye Chen surprisingly calmly.
"There is a fairy root in the sacrificial hall. I need you to tell me where the fairy root is!"
Ye Chen got straight to the point.
"So you came here for the fairy roots?"
Instead of refusing, the old man made a "please" gesture to Ye Chen, "How about I take you there!"
"You fool me?"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.
The old man's reaction was so abnormal, as if he had known he was coming.
However, this was obviously the first time he met this old man, and his plan was extremely secretive. How could the other party know about it?
"Aren't you here for the fairy roots?"
In his doubtful eyes, the old man said innocently: "I will take you to find him now, why do you say I am playing tricks on you again?"
Ye Chen stopped talking, but there was a surge of anger in his heart for no reason.
Because the feeling of being tricked and still being kept in the dark is getting stronger and stronger.
"What's wrong with this old man?"
At this time, Li Fengyu also walked in, looked at the old man, and shouted: "What on earth are you talking about?"
"Well, since you don't believe it, let me just tell you where the fairy root is!"
The old man sighed and smiled bitterly: "The Fairy Root is in the Treasure Pavilion in the center of the sacrificial hall. If you don't want me to lead the way, you can go get it yourself. Anyway, my old arms and legs are not as good as you young people.
It’s still a bit difficult to walk!”
This time, not only Ye Chen, but also the three Nangong Kaige brothers and sisters, Jin Lin and others felt that something was wrong with the old man.
"Do you know who we are?"
Nangong Kaige said in a deep voice.
"have no idea!"
The old man shook his head and said: "However, I know someone will sneak in!"
"oh?
Did you already know that someone would sneak in?"
Nangong Kaige's expression changed slightly.
"Not only do I know, I even guessed that the collapse of Panyun Peak may have something to do with you!"
If you don’t say anything shocking, you will die!
Such light words from the old man fell on the ears of several people in Shichen, but they were like thunder on the ground, making them tremble physically and mentally.
"how do you know?"
Shocked, Ye Chen was not confused.
After all, before implementing this plan, he had already considered the psychological preparation for his whereabouts to be exposed.
Even if the old man is unusually calm, the worst he can do is lead Li Fengyu and others to fight a bloody path. With his current combat power and the flying speed of the golden-armored lightning eagle, if he really wants to leave, even if the entire Moon Worshiping Empire
If the wizard group comes together, they may not be able to stop them.
"I can't explain this clearly. If you want to know, why not follow me to the Heavenly Fire Altar to meet the high priest!"
"Do you worship the contemporary high priest of the Moon Empire, Nasim Padred?"
"good!"
The old man nodded and said: "The high priest has been waiting for a long time. If you want to clear up the doubts in your mind, you can come with me!"
"certainly……"
He changed the topic and said: "If you don't even have the courage to face the high priest, you can leave on your own. I'll pretend I never saw it!"
This time, Ye Chen and others were even more stunned.
Although it was just a few sentences, what the old man wanted to express couldn't be more obvious.
Perhaps, their plan has been secretly known to others, so they are here to wait and see!
only……
Since the other party knew their plan, why didn't they stop it in advance or just surround them?
"Sir, what should I do?"
Jin Lin glanced around vigilantly and suggested: "This old man talks very strangely, why don't we leave right now!"
"No!"
Surprisingly, Ye Chen actually shook his head, "He and I will go to the Heavenly Fire Altar to meet the high priest Nasim Padred!"
"Young master, no!"
"Ye Chen, are you crazy?"
"Brother Ye, since they have been prepared for a long time, there must be a dragnet in the Heavenly Fire Altar. If you follow them, you will fall into a trap!"
Jin Lin and others spoke out to stop him.
"Since they have discovered it, it is probably too late to leave now. It is better to go see the high priest named Nasim Padure and ask about the situation!"
Ye Chen was aware that someone had seen through him. He waved his hand and the dagger on the old man's throat flew back immediately, turning into a ray of light and disappearing into his palm.
"Okay, please come with me!"
The old man nodded and immediately made a "please" gesture to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was not polite and strode outside.
Li Fengyu and others looked at each other, their eyes full of worry and confusion.
But seeing that Ye Chen had already reached the door, they had no choice but to follow him out.
However, everyone casually drew their weapons, consciously distanced themselves according to the defensive position, and were alert to any movement around them.
However, until I walked to the door, except for the old man walking in front, there was no movement, and I couldn't sense the existence of other spiritual energy fluctuations.
"What kind of tricks are you playing?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but ask again.
But the old man still just smiled and said, "Just follow me to see the high priest and we'll find out!"
Ye Chen frowned, but his footsteps did not stop.
"Sir, do you really want to go?"
Jin Lin anxiously sent a message: "What if it's a trap?"
"If there was a trap, we would have fallen into it long ago!"
Ye Chen also sent a message: "I'm really curious about how they discovered us in advance!"
"That's...okay!"
Ye Chen had said so, Jin Lin didn't say anything anymore, and just followed Ye Chen closely.
Although Nangong Qin and others' hearts were in their throats, they were not stupid and naturally realized that their plan might have been exposed.
More importantly, since the plan has been exposed and they have not been rounded up yet, it can only mean that the high priest of the Moon Worshiping Empire may not want to kill them.
Or maybe, you don’t want to take action against them just yet.
No matter what, leaving now is definitely not the wisest choice.
