As they came in, the smell of incense became more than ten times stronger. After seeing Xiang Sheng, they rushed to drill into his body.
Xiang Sheng's face changed, and he intensified his practice of the Breath-Containing Technique, and used shape-shifting to change his own aura. Only then did the incense stop its crazy trend and gradually dissipate.
He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went down into the darkness.
The height of this secret hall is nearly two meters. The deeper you go, the thicker the incense becomes, and it is so strong that it is impossible to open your eyes.
Is this place specifically used to store incense?
Xiang Sheng pondered in her heart, but if that was the case, why did part of the incense she sensed disappear inexplicably, as if something had eaten a piece of it.
Not long after, Xiang Sheng landed quietly on the ground. He looked around but saw no one there. The sound of conversation was still vague.
She groped her way following the sound and soon found a hanging ladder that continued down.
Hiding underground?
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes, walked down the ladder, and continued to break another layer of the secret formation with a corner of the formation plate. The vague conversation suddenly became clear.
She dodged into the shadows beneath the hanging ladder and looked closely. The smoke from the incense blocked the view of others, but it would not block her, the owner.
The huge underground secret hall was empty except for a bottomless pool in the middle. The aroma of incense in the pool had almost condensed into substance, floating in it like layers of white frost.
At this moment, there were two people standing by the pool with their hands behind their backs. One of them was wearing a golden robe and had a solemn expression; the other was wearing a white robe and looked very angry. Both of them looked middle-aged.
"I knew that the people in the Demon Palace were completely untrustworthy! If it weren't for the mysterious person who came to the rescue, Tang Yecheng would have died."
"How do you know that the person who ambushed Tang Yecheng was definitely from the Demon Palace, and not someone deliberately trying to confuse people?"
"Brother! At this point, you still want to continue to trust them? We can completely know nothing about the future. Even if the incense we gave away is included in the incense lost by Tang Yecheng, no one will know about it."
"Junior brother, please be patient."
The middle-aged man in the golden robe softened his serious expression. "As you said, there is indeed room for maneuver, but do you really want to do that?"
The middle-aged man in the white robe froze in expression, not knowing what he was thinking about, and became hesitant again.
"The incense of Shengcheng is pure, so it's understandable that the Demon Palace is reluctant to let my Qianxing Palace monopolize it."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the golden robe. "But since Tang Yecheng was rescued and came back alive, we can't just let it go like this."
The middle-aged man in the white robe perked up. "Brother, you said you wanted to use this as leverage to extort a large sum of money from the Demon Palace? But will they admit it?"
The middle-aged man in the golden robe smiled and said, "Yes, they will. This is a critical moment for them and they are most afraid of mistakes. As long as our request is not too excessive, they will definitely agree."
"Very good!"
The middle-aged man in the white robe was delighted, and the anger on his face was wiped away. "Doesn't that mean we can get the next level of the mental method in advance?"
"Only one level. We will be victorious only when we obtain the complete mental method during the final transaction."
The middle-aged man in the golden robe snorted coldly: "As long as we seize their weak spot and keep an eye on the incense, the Demon Palace won't dare to do anything to us."
"We've absorbed almost all the incense today, let's go."
"The incense that Tang Yecheng intercepted is extremely pure. If I use it for cultivation tomorrow, I will make faster progress."
"Brother, what you said is absolutely right."
The two of them climbed up the ladder step by step, and walked further and further away. No one noticed that there was another person at the bottom of the ladder.
With the sound of a "bang" coming from the distant palace door, the entire secret palace fell completely silent.
Xiang Sheng stood up and slowly walked to the incense pool, her pretty face solemn.
She had suspected that there were spies from the Demon Palace in the five major sects, but she didn't expect that they were not spies, but high-level traitors.
The fact that the other party can enter and exit this secret hall freely already explains a lot.
Luo or Wei?
Xiang Sheng couldn't help but think that no matter which family rebelled, it would probably be as big as an earthquake for Qianxing Palace.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng suddenly had a bold idea. Those two people's deal with the Demon Palace was obviously based on incense. If they lost these incense...
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, stretched out his hand and wiped his fingers, and the blood ring appeared.
The incense is led by Sheng Ji, and she is the source.
The cultivation levels of the two golden and white robed duo were no longer below the Nascent Soul stage, and they could only absorb a small portion every day for cultivation. But now, Xiang Sheng only had a thought, and the entire incense pool immediately began to boil.
Crash——
The incense flames surged and rushed into the blood ring. In just a few breaths, most of the incense in the pool was gone.
At the same time, the Sky Monitoring Mirror that was quietly standing in the air in the Changyan Peak Palace suddenly trembled violently.
Chang Yan felt something and immediately stood up to check, only to see that the Heaven Monitoring Mirror turned into a streak of light, broke a big hole in the roof of the hall, and shot towards the secret hall!
