Chapter 142: Investigating the Imperial Master's Room



As soon as Xu Fuyi saw the three of them appear, he immediately rushed over excitedly.

Nalan Jingyue ignored him and walked straight to the stone table and sat down. Su Yao and Ning Jing also walked to the stone table and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Su Yao asked quickly: "How is it? What did you find?"

Seeing that Su Yao had already asked, Nalan Jingyue did not keep the secret and spoke directly: "The national teacher is very likely a member of the immortal clan, or he is like us, practicing both immortals and demons, because I saw with my own eyes that the national teacher used spiritual power to draw a formation in the room."

"What?" Su Yao and the other two were all shocked.

"Could it be that there are people from the Immortal Clan within this Demon Clan? But this is impossible. The Demon Clan was sealed thousands of years ago, and the Demon Clan was sealed together by the Immortal Clan and the Dragon Clan. How can the Immortal Clan appear safely in the Demon Clan? And now they have even risen to the position of National Master." Ning Jing looked incredulous.

"The national teacher can use spiritual power. Do you think the Demon King knows about this?" Xu Fuyi quickly thought of the key point of this matter.

"Perhaps, the Demon King knows that the National Master can use spiritual power, otherwise why would he appoint him as the National Master, and let him be fully responsible for the formation." Su Yao expressed her guess.

"I also found a secret door in the Imperial Master's room. I saw the Imperial Master walk in with my own eyes. I plan to investigate again tomorrow night. By then, I will need you two to help me get the Imperial Master out of the way." Nalan Jingyue said seriously.

"Then we will ask the guards to inform the Imperial Master tomorrow night that we have some clues. But you have to be careful. We don't know what dangers are inside the secret door." Su Yao quickly thought of a solution.

"Don't worry, it's settled then. Tomorrow night, wait for me to leave and then have the guards pass the message. As soon as the Imperial Master leaves, I'll go in and investigate."

"Okay. Then we'll go out first." The next plan has been thought out, so just wait for tomorrow night to come.

Su Yao was worried that she would be discovered if she stayed in the space for too long, so she came out quickly.

"It seems that we have to think of a better reason tomorrow night, so that the national teacher won't find out anything." Su Yao whispered to Ning Jing.

"Then let's announce tomorrow night that we've discovered this formation, right? Then, we'll explain how it came about. Just explaining the principles behind it should be enough to buy time."

"This is the only way for now." Su Yao and Ning Jing waited in agony until the next night.

Nalan Jingyue appeared outside the space on time. The three of them had serious expressions and didn't say much. After Nalan Jingyue disappeared, they tacitly shouted, "Someone come here."

A guard quickly rushed in and asked respectfully, "What instructions do you two have?"

"Hurry up and inform the Imperial Master that we have discovered something and ask him to come over for a chat." Su Yao said with a serious expression.

The guards did not dare to be negligent. They responded respectfully and then quickly ran towards the National Master's Hall.

Nalan Jing was one step ahead of the guards and went up to the roof to hide his body. When the guards arrived, they shouted anxiously: "Master Imperial Master, the two people who were checking the formation said they found some clues and asked you to come over and take a look."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Master's hands trembled. He no longer cared about the half-drawn formation on the table, and hastily dropped the brush in his hand, opened the door, and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

The guard quickly replied respectfully, "Yes, Master Imperial Master."

"Did they say they discovered anything?" the Imperial Master continued to ask.

"This. They didn't say it, they just asked you to come over and have a chat!" said the guard a little panicked.

After hearing the guard's reply, the Imperial Master didn't have time to argue with the guard. He turned around, closed the door of his room, and followed in the direction of Su Yao and the others. The guard also hurriedly followed.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, Nalan Jingyue carefully lifted the tiles on the roof to make a big hole, and then jumped down. Without any hesitation, he walked straight to the secret door he saw last night.

Following the example of the Imperial Master, he turned the candlestick next to the secret door, and sure enough, a secret door slowly appeared before his eyes.

Nalan Jingyue walked in without hesitation. As soon as he walked in, the secret door behind him closed, and then the light inside suddenly came on. It was at this moment that Nalan Jingyue could see the scene in front of him clearly.

This is a staircase leading down, and no one knows what kind of place is ahead. Nalan Jingyue did not dare to delay, because he was not sure when the national teacher would come back, so he quickened his pace.

Not long after walking, a spacious stone chamber appeared in front of them. The walls around the stone chamber were covered with patterns of many formations. Many of the formations were the formations of their immortal clan. Nalan Jingyue looked at them quickly.

Finally, Nalan Jingyue walked to one of the scrolls hanging on the wall and stopped.

The message written on the scroll made Nalan Jingyue's eyes widen instantly. He quickly wrote down the content and continued reading quickly.

By the time he finished reading the last scroll, Nalan Jingyue had begun to lose his composure.

He quickly looked around the surroundings again. When he found that there was no other suspicious place, he quickly left the place.

Nalan Jingyue groped for the mechanism of the secret door and left the stone chamber. Nalan Jingyue rushed towards the direction where Su Yao and the others were. If what he had just seen in the formation was true, then he had a huge guess in his mind, waiting to verify it with the national teacher.

When he arrived, Su Yao and Ning Jing were standing on either side of the National Master, explaining their discovery of the formation. But Nalan Jingyue stood and listened for a while before reacting.

How could this be a discovery? It was clearly just reading from the book on formations.

Nalan Jingyue's thoughts were racing. While they were not paying attention, Nalan Jingyue quickly set up a concealment formation around the four of them.

Then he calmly removed his concealment formation.

The Imperial Master seemed to have noticed something unusual behind him and turned around quickly. Then he saw Nalan Jingyue who suddenly appeared. He was a little surprised by the person who suddenly appeared behind him, but he did not panic. Instead, he shouted, "Someone come here!"

But the guards outside couldn't hear his voice at all. Su Yao and Ning Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Nalan Jingyue suddenly appear. Why did he suddenly appear? Didn't he need to hide? The two of them remained motionless, pretending to be a little panicked and looking at Nalan Jingyue.
