Chapter 454 (1/2)

New Plan (1)

“......”

Ye Lang observed the situation and deduced that the defenses were too strong. He knew it was impossible for him to obtain the Tianji Armour today.

Before coming here, he’d expected the place to be heavily guarded but not to this extent…

Did they find something? Everything should be perfectly concealed and no one should have noticed anything.

He then confirmed that the things here were untouched, thus there was no proof that the lab was revealed.

What he did not expect was that because this place was TOO flawless, it attracted attention. He also did not know that Zhao Yarou had given an order to demolish the place to uncover all his secrets here. However, they’d found it impossible to tear the place down. From every brick to tile, the place still looked virtually untouched.

Given the unusual situation surrounding the yard, even an idiot would know that this place hid some secrets. They also knew Ye Lang was an alchemy genius, so his products could potentially disrupt a country’s strength. Thus why Soaring Sky Empire would heavily guard this place!

Even so, it was not until they deployed the dragon riders that the place became impenetrable.

“Seems like the news has spread. How many scouts have we caught today?” After capturing the scapegoat, the guards were neither shocked nor nervous, as if this was the norm.

“It was the sixth...” Someone answered.

“Why can’t the thirteenth prince stop giving us trouble? He’s not even here. I wonder how long will this situation last,” another guard grumbled.

Originally, this place was already heavily guarded. But during these critical times, the heavily guarded place's security was tightened once more!

“Exactly! It’s getting so difficult protecting this place with so many experts coming to intrude these days. We can barely keep up! If not for the distractions they throw at us, they would have never been able to reach here!” The previous soldier boasted, confident in his defensive skills.

So it seems. No wonder it was so easy for me to enter just now. They didn’t even see me when we were just a wall apart…...

Ye Lang found it weird that, despite the changes, the defences had weakened to this degree. Even after he left, this should not be happening.

“We can’t blame him entirely. If we didn’t want his treasures, we wouldn’t have that much trouble. In the end, we were just like those robbers!”

An alchemist who was busy cracking the formation said he was one of the alchemists who worked here. He was here to uncover the secrets behind the house’s sturdiness.

Of course, they did not know that underneath the house was an alchemy lab, and only believed that they could find something valuable there. So they kept on searching.

He was not the only alchemist there and obviously, he did not work for the entire day. They did it in shifts so that if anything were to happen, there would be someone guarding the place.
