Chapter 167: Qianmen Fort
Watching Eunuch Lin and his group disappear into the dense fog, Hua Changxi cautiously followed. Because she was unfamiliar with the Ghost Market, she didn’t dare get too close, even though she had concealed her presence.
The dense fog in the air severely obstructed vision, but Spiritual Sense could penetrate it.
Hua Changxi had cultivated Spiritual Sense, allowing her to clearly see everything within a radius of several dozen meters. This enabled her to keep track of Eunuch Lin and his group.
“Hoo~”
Within the surging dense fog, gusts of chilling wind occasionally blew.
Hua Changxi carefully avoided the chilling winds, trying her best not to make any sound.
There was no other reason; the team was short one person. After entering the Ghost Messenger Pavilion, Eunuch Lin would definitely notice. If she were Eunuch Lin, she would certainly suspect she was being followed.
She had no idea what methods Eunuch Lin possessed, so she could only be as cautious as possible.
As expected, not long after, a beam of white light suddenly appeared in the hazy mist, rapidly sweeping back and forth from left to right.
Because Hua Changxi’s range of vision was large, she dodged the light the moment she spotted it, thus narrowly avoiding being swept by it.
“Master Lu, what is it?”
“I’m using the Soul Mirror to scan and see if anyone is following us. The Soul Mirror can reveal all Soul Bodies; if someone is following us, they will be exposed in the mirror even if they are invisible.”
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Lin complimented with a smile, “Master Lu certainly has many treasures.”
Master Lu put away the Soul Mirror and snorted, “The team is short one person, and you didn’t even notice. You’re becoming more and more careless in your duties.”
Eunuch Lin quickly defended himself, “Master Lu, you wrong me. How could I have known Hua Changxi would secretly leave the group?”
Master Lu was too lazy to pursue the matter further at this moment. “Hua Changxi leaving the group midway suggests she might have discovered something. What a pity, a Core Formation Cultivator could have helped us consume a considerable amount of sealing power.”
Eunuch Lin said with a dejected expression, “I was very careful and observant all the way. How did she still discover something unusual?”
Master Lu replied, “Some people are naturally sensitive to danger. Our affairs cannot be leaked. This time, upon our return, we will mobilize the Eastern Depot’s forces and find a way to eliminate that Hua Changxi.”
Eunuch Lin sighed, “It’s too much of a waste to directly kill Hua Changxi. If she could help us consume some sealing power, it would at least be worth her Value as a Cultivator.”
Master Lu also felt it was a pity. “Let’s not dwell on this. Although we’ve lost a Core Formation Cultivator, with the previous attempts as a foundation, this time might not necessarily fail. Let’s go.”
In the fog, Hua Changxi listened to the two men revealing their Killing Intent towards her, her eyes turning sharp. Only after their voices gradually faded did she cautiously follow again.
“We’re almost at Qianmen Fort, and the fog is getting thicker. Keep a close eye on people; don’t lose anyone again.”
After another half an hour, Master Lu’s voice rang out again.
At this moment, Hua Changxi vaguely saw a tall, continuous city wall through the fog.
As she got closer, the city wall became clearer, and the words ‘Qianmen Fort’ appeared before Hua Changxi’s eyes.
Qianmen Fort?
Looking at the castle ahead, Hua Changxi felt that this place somewhat resembled a heavily guarded military stronghold. The Ghost Market, which had been bustling with cultivators before, now seemed like the outer residential area of a military zone.
What exactly is this place?
Eunuch Lin and his group showed no intention of entering Qianmen Fort; instead, they detoured towards the east of the fortress.
Just as Hua Changxi was about to follow, she saw two white figures appear on the Qianmen Fort’s city wall.
“General, are we truly going to let them take the Divine Hammer?”
“If the Divine Hammer is taken by them, it will be their capability.”
“But without the Divine Hammer’s suppression, the Demon Prison will become unstable.”
“Our duty is merely to garrison Qianmen Fort. As long as they do not attack Qianmen Fort, it has nothing to do with us.”
My brain is mush, I don’t want to have a broken update, so I’ll just update a thousand characters today.
