Although he was panicking, Duan Ming didn't dare to keep Xiang Sheng waiting for long, so he quickly explained:
“Senior, you also know that the Yin energy in our Yin Realm is extremely heavy.
How can ordinary mortals bear it? Most of them will degenerate into demons before they reach the age of thirty.
A swarm of ants can kill an elephant. When there are too many demons, even cultivators dare not underestimate them. They will take a detour when they meet them, let alone ordinary people.
If it is not curbed, the human race will probably perish soon, and the entire underworld will become a paradise for demons.
Although the Demonic Palace does not intend to do good things, it also knows the principle of "lips and teeth are cold".
So they opened up a transportation channel specifically for handling people who were about to fall.
So the other side of that passage... doesn't lead to anywhere, just spatial turbulence."
Duan Ming sighed silently when he said this.
Even he was caught in the spatial turbulence and had no way out, so it goes without saying what the fate of ordinary people would be.
Xiang Sheng heard this expressionlessly, withdrew his gaze, and turned to walk towards the palace.
Duan Ming didn't expect her reaction to be so cold. He was stunned for a moment before following her.
A moment later, the two arrived in front of the palace, handed over the token, and were immediately taken to the door of the inner hall.
After waiting outside the door for a while, a cold voice finally came from inside: "Come in."
Xiang Sheng walked in as he was told. The first time he saw the young man sitting on the throne in the hall, his guess turned into certainty.
The eyebrows and eyes of this face are at least 50% similar to Gong Yao's.
It seems that this person is not only from the Gong tribe, but also has a close blood relationship with her new disciples.
Her thoughts turned, and she quickly retracted her gaze, lowering her eyes and bowing: "I am the newly promoted personal guard Shen Li, and I pay my respects to Your Highness."
Duan Ming also saluted.
Gong Moyan looked at the two people below with cold eyes:
"I just received the summons this morning that the Holy Pavilion was open. It's only been half a day since you arrived. But what happened to the Holy Pavilion?"
Duan Ming secretly glanced at Xiang Sheng, and seeing that she was reluctant to speak, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Your Highness may not know that this Holy Pavilion test is under the full responsibility of another Holy Son.
After one round of trials, only fifteen people remained, so the Lord Commander of the Holy Pavilion did not continue with the second and third rounds of trials, saving a lot of time."
Gong Moyan knew that someone had opened the beast pit when he heard it. He sneered in his heart, but did not show any abnormality on the surface. He turned around and instructed the mortal boy beside him:
"Take them down to rest first, and they will follow you on duty tomorrow."
The mortal boy nodded immediately and ran to Xiang Sheng and the other one.
He bowed to Sheng Qianqian and turned to leave.
The mortal didn't expect Xiang Sheng to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment before following him.
Duan Ming originally wanted to express his gratitude respectfully, but upon seeing this, he immediately bowed quickly and quickly left the hall.
After the three of them left, a black light flashed beside Gong Moyan, and an old man in black appeared out of thin air. A murderous look flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:
"Chief, these two people are going to..."
Gong Moyan raised his hand to interrupt, "No rush. These two men came out of the beast pit alive. Whether they are enemies or friends is still unclear. Let's observe them for two days."
The murderous intent in the black-clothed old man's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he turned to talk about another matter:
"A new batch of seedlings have arrived at the camp, and their cultivation is quite good."
Gong Moyan's eyes lit up when he heard that, "I'll be there later."
…
But Xiang Sheng and the other two followed the mortal boy and walked through the corridors of the palace.
The mortal boy was cheerful and cheerful. He walked and talked, his clear voice echoing in the corridor:
"My name is Gong Mu, and I'm the master's personal attendant.
The master doesn't like to have people around him, so you will follow me and do things. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
At this point, Gong Mu stopped in front of two exquisite rooms and said, "Men and women are separated. You will each have one room."
Duan Ming glanced at the exquisite and gorgeous furnishings in the room and couldn't help but exclaim: "Such a nice room, and you let us live in it?"
Gong Mu tilted his head in confusion: "You are a personal guard, do you want to live in the servants' room?"
"No, no, no."
Duan Ming quickly waved his hands and smiled, "I just feel that Your Highness is so kind to us."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around: "Why aren't my other colleagues here?"
He just asked casually, but Gong Mu laughed when he heard it.
He was still puzzled when he heard Gong Mu say, "Your Highness's personal guards are all dead, so where did your colleagues come from?"
Duan Ming's face turned pale: "What?!"
Gong Mu was very satisfied with his reaction and continued:
"You've just arrived, and you don't know that a rebel force has emerged near the transportation channel in recent years.
His Highness took action to suppress the rebellion, but was hated by the rebels and was repeatedly assassinated. All the personal guards around him were killed in assassinations.
I, a mere mortal, posed no threat to them, yet I managed to survive."
At this point, Gong Mu sighed deeply: "The palace is so deserted, I don't even have anyone to talk to. You two better be careful, don't die so quickly."
After saying this, Gong Mu looked at Duan Ming who was so frightened that he was at a loss, but was trying to remain calm, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Turning to look at Xiang Sheng again, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and he felt strange.
Could it be that this female cultivator named Shen Li was born with facial paralysis? Even after he said so much, she didn't react at all.
However, his goal for today had been achieved, and he did not want to delve into it any further. He just said, "Come to report on time tomorrow," and left.
As soon as the man left, Duan Ming stopped pretending to be strong and his face became visibly anxious.
"Rebels... there are actually rebels!
I thought it would be the easiest to follow this person, but I didn't expect to get into such big trouble!
Senior, what should we do?"
Xiang Sheng withdrew his gaze from the end of the corridor, his expression cold: "That Gong Mu was just trying to scare you."
"ah?"
Duan Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked around in confusion and muttered:
“But there is really no one in this palace.
Gong Mu is just a mortal follower. It is impossible for him to transfer all the guards in the palace just to play a trick on us, right?
wrong.
Could it be that His Highness deliberately arranged this to test us?"
Duan Ming is really noisy nowadays.
Xiang Sheng was too lazy to listen to his continued nonsense, so he turned and walked into the room. The doors on both sides closed with a bang.
Duan Ming, who wanted to go in and continue talking, was turned away. He touched his nose and sighed.
That's all.
The rebels won't come tonight.
"Tomorrow, let's analyze it further with Senior tomorrow..."
He muttered, turned around and reluctantly went into the next room.
…
That night.
In the dark room, Xiang Sheng, who was leaning on the couch with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
She swung out a paper man from her sleeve, which transformed into her appearance and continued to sleep on the bed. At the same time, she concealed her own breath, slipped out of the house, and blended into the dark night.
At the same time, Gong Moyan also left from the back door of the palace and ran quickly along a weed-covered path, completely unaware that there was a tail behind him.
