Chapter 494 Something is wrong

The hall was silent for a moment.

The young high priestess and Bai Yan looked at the curtain in disbelief.

The high priestess herself became the spirit boy?

Was it just this time or before?

"I can't remember."

After hearing the high priestess's answer, the young high priestess realized that she had said what she was thinking.

She couldn't hold back her tears immediately: "No wonder your body deteriorates after each sacrifice. You are exchanging your life for another's!"

Bai Yan turned his face away.

Jiang Wenjing watched this scene quietly.

[Exchanging your life for another's, you are really a kind person. ]

Jiang Wenjing: "..."

Why does it feel weird?

Why does the voice of Zhiyu sound so sarcastic?

"I promise you, I will spare their lives, you can go with peace of mind."

She spoke earnestly and seemed sincere.

Jiang Wenjing clasped his arms.

Something was wrong, there was definitely something wrong.

It seemed that he did not expect her to agree so easily, and the person on the bed said a good word after a long time.

The faces of the young high priestess and Bai Yan became even more sad.

"Let Bai Yan give you the sacred object of Nanlong. I don't have much time left. There is a saying in your heaven that a dying man's words are good. To repay your kindness today, I will reveal it once."

Her voice suddenly became ethereal and weird: "Soon, you will have a bloody disaster, which will take away everything you have, your relatives, lovers, and friends."

Before she finished speaking, her hands seemed to have lost their support and fell heavily.

"Mother? Mother! Mother!! Ahhhh!!!"

The young high priestess burst into tears, and Bai Yan finally couldn't help himself and sobbed a few times.

Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu watched in silence. Suddenly, Jiang Wenjing's ears moved: "Someone has surrounded this place."

The crying of the young high priestess stopped abruptly. Bai Yan stood up with an ugly face and walked to the window and looked out: "It's the people of the King of Nan Gu. There are a lot of them. I'm afraid that not only the temple, but also the mountain is surrounded."

He cursed in a low voice in Nan Gu language.

The King of Nan Gu didn't come earlier or later, but today, and as soon as he came, he let people surround the mountain. Even a fool can see his intention.

It is obviously not the best way to force his way in. Bai Yan restrained his movements and walked to the corner.

The other three also walked over.

"High Priest, the King heard that you summoned the envoy of the Apocalypse, and sent us to protect your safety. High Priest, we are coming in?"

Although the tone was inquiring, the footsteps did not stop, and even slightly accelerated.

When they arrived at the door of the inner room, the palace guards did not even say a word, but kicked the door open.

There was no one inside, only a huge bed surrounded by gauze curtains.

King Nangong lagged behind him and took a few steps forward, looking at the bed, his eyes thoughtful.

"What a strong smell of medicine," the palace guard sighed in a low voice, and then said: "Your Majesty, we have been watching, and the envoy of Tianqi definitely did not take the high priest out."

"Could it be that the high priest has already caught the thief and is interrogating him?"

Upon hearing this, King Nangong looked at him strangely.

He did not say much, moving his fat body and swinging the sword. The gauze curtain on the bed slowly fell, revealing the body of the old woman lying in the center of the bed.

A trace of surprise flashed across King Nangong's eyes, followed by satisfaction.

He said, immortality and unchanged appearance are all fake!

The people around were also stunned.

"Is this the high priest? Impossible, I have seen the high priest at the sacrifice, and the high priest clearly looked like a young girl!"

"I have seen it too, but so what, who else could lie here except the high priest?"

"The mountain was sealed when we came up, and not even a snake could escape. This is the high priest!"

Compared to the murder of the high priest, what they could not accept even more was the corpse of the old woman in front of them, who was the almighty high priest in their minds.

For a moment, there was a hint of disgust on the sad faces of everyone.

The King of Nanlong watched this scene with pleasure, of course, he had not forgotten his business.

He said slowly and in a low voice: "Pass the order down. The envoy of Tianqi plotted to kill the high priest and escaped. Nanjun will conduct a thorough investigation. Any suspicious person will be killed without mercy. It is better to kill by mistake than to let him go!"

"Also, spread the news and send pigeons to deliver the letter thousands of miles to the hands of Emperor Tianqi!"

"Yes!"

"Put away the body of the high priest and bury it another day."

"Yes."

...

When there was no movement outside, the four people came out from the dark room in the corner.

[Who would have thought that Nanjun didn't build a secret room? ]

[I think every household in Tianqi has a secret room, and the secret passages are even more interconnected. ]

[Nanjun doesn't have one! ]

Jiang Wenjing found it as incredible as she did.

He said to Bai Yan: "Don't you have any way out?"

Bai Yan frowned.

What do you mean? What do you mean by leaving no way out?

"It's you who should be worried now," Bai Yan said, looking at the high priestess and thinking about where to place her in the future, "All the people in Nangong will hunt you down. Even if you want to start a war, you must stay alive and contact your people first... Who are you?!"

His voice suddenly got louder.

There were two unfamiliar faces in front of him.

Although he knew that the people in front of him must be Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu, Bai Yan still couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's not us who should be worried now. You didn't even recognize them, let alone them." Jiang Zhiyu chuckled.

Bai Yan: "..."

...

At midnight, Gao Zilun appeared in the alley as promised.

The servant followed him, looking around nervously.

It was dark and windy, and everything was silent except for the occasional cicada chirping.

The servant was panicking and couldn't help but back out: "Sir, why don't we go back home? The Xu family has lost power, and the people will be yours sooner or later. Why do you have to take the risk of offending His Majesty?"

Gao Zilun was also a little scared, but when he thought of being thrown out of the house by the Sixth Prince and being ridiculed by others, he felt that he couldn't swallow this breath.

Don't they all think it's not possible?

Wait until he succeeds tonight and see what they say tomorrow!

Let them regret it!

Thinking of how they would regret tomorrow, Gao Zilun felt refreshed. When the servant tried to persuade him again, he said firmly, "Don't go back! If you are so scared, then go back by yourself. But you must think clearly about what will happen to you after I finish my work and go back!"

The servant's body trembled like a sieve.

Before he could say anything, Gao Zilun said excitedly, "Here they come!"

The servant quickly pressed against the wall.

Then, a sound of breaking air roared over their heads. Gao Zilun heard someone shout "Who are you!"

He immediately held his breath.

The sound of weapons colliding and shouting all rang out at once, breaking the quiet night.

After a while, it finally quieted down.

Gao Zilun leaned forward to look, but there was no one on the street, and the Jinyiwei in front of Xu's house had also disappeared.

He raised the corner of his mouth and ran towards Xu's house excitedly.
