Chapter 1020: Someone Has Snuck In
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Qingtian instructed, “When we enter later, hide in the stream on the side. Don’t go to the area with spiritual power. When the pill matures, snatch it immediately. Don’t worry about anyone else.”
“Understood.”
“Stick it on your hand. Let’s go.” Gu Bailu was the first to stick the rune on, and the rest followed.
While the imperial guards wouldn’t be able to see them, they wouldn’t be able to see each other either.
Feng Qingtian held Gu Bailu’s hand. “Don’t let go.”
“Mm.”
“Everyone, split up once we enter. Ye Qi, jump up and open the door. The moment it opens, rush in and find a place to hide.”
Once the door opened, Xiao Jingyun and the others would definitely sense it. They could only quickly find a place to hide.
Since they were invisible and didn’t have spiritual power, nobody would know where they were hiding.
Hm… this was fair.
Ye Qi jumped up and tried pressing a few times, but failed.
“Ye Ying, you go too.”
Ye Ying and Ye Qi jumped up, and soon, the door opened.
“Let’s go.”
Only then did Gu Bailu and the others rush through the door.
The guards thought that the Rising Clouds Emperor was about to come out. In the end, they waited for a long time, but nobody appeared.
Soon, someone inside asked, “What happened? Who opened the door?”
The guards looked at each other in confusion. “Didn’t you open it?”
“Sh*t, hurry up and report this to the emperor.”
Feng Qingtian hid behind a stalactite next to the stream with Gu Bailu.
He raised his head. Moonlight poured down through the hole above them. The Crimson Spirit Pill was maturing…
Sure enough, Xiao Jingyun and Shao Zun were standing to the left and right of the Crimson Spirit Pill. A man was standing in front of the Crimson Spirit Pill and refining it with fire-red spiritual power.
Gu Bailu didn’t expect Shao Zun to be here.
Wasn’t Xiao Jingyun suspicious of him?
He still dared to ask him to guard the pill?
What Gu Bailu didn’t know was that Su Shenfan had promised that he would watch the pill until it matured, as part of the initial agreement.
Part of the deal was that he would get a part of the loot.
The supreme pill contained more than ten thousand souls. Even eating a small part would make him ten times stronger than what he was now.
That was why he was willing to cooperate.
Su Shenfan stared at the supreme pill with burning eyes. He had a good plan. Whether it was Gu Bailu or Xiao Jingyun who wound up with the pill, he would have a share no matter what.
That was why he was willing to cooperate with Gu Bailu.
He looked outside. Why weren’t Gu Bailu and the others taking action yet? The pill was about to mature.
The truth was that he still wanted Gu Bailu and the others to get the pill.
“Your Majesty, Shao Zun, for some reason, the golden door opened on its own!” the leader of the imperial guards ran in and reported.
“What?” Xiao Jingyun stood up in shock. “Grand Tutor, watch the pill. I’ll go take a look.”
Xiao Jingyun flew to the other side of the stream and lost his spiritual power. “What happened?”
“The golden door opened, but there were no suspicious signs.”
“The golden door opening on its own is suspicious. Search the place immediately and see if someone snuck in,” Xiao Jingyun scolded.
The imperial guards didn’t dare be negligent. A group of people rushed in and searched every corner with Night Pearls.
