Chapter 278 (1/2)

Empress Dowager Su had already given up the Heavenly Temple, but the east gate was heavily guarded.

An Zaixin and the others didn't encounter any dangers when they pa.s.sed through the garden. It wasn't until they were near the east gate of the brocade palace that they stopped to observe the situation.

””Fortunately, An Chengli is also on our side.””

An Zaiyue looked at the tightly shut palace gates in the distance. ””So An Chengli is a eunuch from the Embroidery Palace. He is very familiar with the layout of the place.””

He told me that the most mysterious place was Empress Dowager Su's Peony Garden.

No one was allowed to enter the garden behind the Peony Courtyard. Even Li Changlu had to consult Empress Dowager Su before he could enter.

Therefore, An Chengli estimated that the entrance to the underground palace is around seventy to eighty percent of the way there. ””

””If we fail, then there won't be anyone around Xiao Qidao who can protect him.””

Thus, before coming here, I discussed with Gu Chao and he came up with a plan.

The Heaven Defying Seal was still safe, but once someone breaks through the Heavenly Awakening Sect, whether or not the Heaven defying Seal's secret will be discovered cannot be confirmed.

Gu Zhaogong's meaning was to select experts to protect Lord Huo from hiding in Empyrean Terminus Palace with his Yaksha Zi Umbrella.

No one would have thought that our people would actually dare to transfer to Heavenly Temple. This way, we can guarantee the safety of Xiao Qidao and Lord Huo.

The Yaksha Zi Umbrella can last for around two hours. This is more than enough for Grandpa Huo and the others to safely arrive at Empyrean Terminus Palace.

””That's why you chose to enter Empyrean Terminus Palace twice, just to explore the path?””

An Chao nodded. ””That's right. If there are no surprises now, Xiao Qidao and Lord Huo have already departed.””

Fang Daozhong and w.a.n.g Kaitai were the most powerful, and should be protected by them.

Therefore, Gu Chao was the only one left in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect to guard.

Originally, the plan was to leave Fang Shoucheng, but no one knew if anyone in the sect had returned with the news.

If the information was leaked, they would be trapped inside the city.

””Those from the large clans also wanted to obtain Xiao Qitao. However, right now, they are hoping for us to fight to the bitter end with the Embroidery Palace, so they decided to use their left hands to gain the upper hand.””

””Gu Zhaogong deliberately spoke of the city, and then he arranged for people to do so. If there are spies in our sect, the news has already spread.

Most of the experts had been moved to the vicinity of the city gates.

Now that Xiao Qi and them had entered Empyrean Terminus Palace, they were actually safe.

””Hiding for a period of time in Empyrean Terminus Palace, then entering Swallow Mountain from the north gate, and then moving to the long-lived city of the ancient and savage mountain … this is the true route.””

Gu Qianye said, ””It would be great if we could enter the Great Illusory Realm and live in the city. Our Ancient Hunting Clan can also protect Little Seven.””

In the mountains, the Yan Country's army is not worth mentioning at all. ””

An Zaixian nodded, ””That's why I set a time with them. If we don't meet up with them at Empyrean Terminus Palace within four hours, they will find an opportunity to leave the city through the north gate.””

The rest of the people in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect would leave the city through the south gate. At that time, even if they were stopped, without Little Seven, they would still be safer.

””This is already the safest method. Gu Zhaogong's idea is very bold and unfathomable, but others would definitely not think of it.””

Qu Liuxi asked, ””Is Empyrean Terminus Palace really safe?””

””I've already sent someone to send a message to An Chengli. An Chengli will be waiting for them in Heavenly Temple. He will find a suitable place for them to hide, and he will also bring the Heaven Defying Seal with him.””

So for the time being, there won't be any problems. The key lies in us, if we lose, then they will leave.

””If we win, the rest is only the beginning, because those court officials aren't necessarily easier to deal with than Empress Dowager Su.””

Qu Liuxi sighed, ””It's just that I've suffered a lot, Xiao Qi. I'm not even ten years old and yet I have to face these hards.h.i.+ps.””

Gu Qianye said, ””This is his choice. We have to respect him and he has to learn it as well. Since he has already made his choice, we have to face it.””

””Since we are the key then don't wait. Let's go inside and talk about it.””

Gu Qian Ye knocked on Du's thin forehead. ””Stupid, let's just kill our way in.””

””From the very beginning until now, Chen Shaobai has left behind four Yaksha umbrellas, and I have left three in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect,”” he argued.

””Right now, I am the only one here, so your mission is to pick me up.””

Skinny Du: ””It's like this again!””

””Don't worry, your role is the most important.””

After I entered, I relied on the Yaksha umbrella to make my move. The four of them could easily reveal my whereabouts.

Remember the concentric knot? ””

””Of course I remember.””

””The one that I gave to Lord Huo, when they are in danger, they will use the same knot to communicate with you.””

For safety's sake, I left one of the Twin Trees here, and I can teleport here.

Therefore, doing this is the safest choice. All of you wait for me here. This is the only path between the Embroidery Palace and the Heavenly Temple.

””No matter if it's me who's in trouble at the Embroidery Palace or Grandpa Huo and the others who are in trouble at the Heavenly Temple, all of you can make it.””

Skinny Du wanted to say something, but Qu Liuxi pulled him back: ””That's it.””

Skinny Du looked at Qu Liuxi in disbelief. ””You listen to him unconditionally every time, but what if he's in danger alone?””

Gu Qianye looked at Qu Liuxi and said, ””Little Liu'er's decision is correct, but not all three of you can stay here … Little Liu'er, follow him.””

She took out two items from her personal s.p.a.ce. ””This was given to me before the fight. It's just right for me to use.””

One was an Invisibility Cloak, the other was a scroll.

””The Invisibility Cloak will allow you to enter together with An An. The scroll will be able to teleport you out.””

Qu Liuxi opened her mouth, her nose aching.

Of course she knew, Gu Qianye really wanted to follow An He in.

But at this moment, she still chose to give it to Qu Liuxi.

””Alright!””

Qu Liuxi did not refuse nor did she say anything else. She put away the Invisibility Cloak and the scroll, ””Let's go. The faster the better.””

Xiao Yezi knew that I was the most suitable to follow you, because there might still be monsters in the brocade palace.
