C183 Grand Elders residence (1/2)
That night, the Grand Elder's manor was heavily guarded.
How could the grandeur of the decorations be described? The glazed tiles sparkled in the moonlight. The golden tiles were comparable to the moonlight. The railings were carved with flowers and the windows were carved with characters. Huge pillars supported a house as if it were a palace!
Groups of guards alternated in front of the house, keeping close.
In the Demon World, a tiled house was definitely a symbol of one's identity. Normal people could not even build one, let alone glazed tiled houses!
One of the guards at the door was not used to the current situation, he felt that he, who had always been a dutiful person, was ignored today, so he could not help but complain to the guard at the right side of the door, ”Tomorrow is a good day for the Baptism of Holy Maiden, why don't we send our troops to the square and set up a place for the Clan Elder instead? ”I'm curious, I've been here for so long and never had any problems, why did you send so many soldiers over and not trust me?”
The guard on the right side of the door was quite vigilant. He stole a glance at the guard and said, ”Lower your voice. If someone discovers us chatting here, we're dead for sure!”
”Tsk, what's there to be afraid of?” The person from before casually said, ”Didn't we come here in the past as well?”
The guard on the right quickly winked at him, lowered his voice, and said, ”It's not like the past, I say brother!” Didn't you hear that after the Baptism of Holy Maiden is done, you have to take over the authority of our Great Clan Elder? ”
”How is this possible?!” He had an unbelievable look on his face, ”The elder has governed the Demon World for over five thousand years, so it is reasonable for her to not have a reason to replace us, a little girl!”
”How is that impossible?” The guard on the right said proudly, ”If that's not the case, why did you suddenly send out so many guards to patrol in the near future? To put it bluntly, it's because the Great Clan Elder was afraid that Holy Maiden and his gang would take the chance to cause trouble, but luckily, tomorrow is the day of the baptism, if they had come earlier, they wouldn't have come back so late. ”
Indeed, according to common sense, doing things earlier was better, there was no reason for them to drag it out this late, unless the Holy Maiden and the rest of the soldiers were honest men who did not want to mess around, thus, although the guards tonight looked very strict, the soldiers felt a lot more at ease.
It was a pity that Chang Jing did not like it when normal people play their cards, and even more so disdained to be a righteous man who did not take advantage of the situation.
At this moment, he was hiding among the flowers, concealing his aura like a plant. He, who was originally lamenting about the extravagance of Sui Yuekong's residence, couldn't help but laugh involuntarily after hearing the duo's conversation — Who said that he couldn't come on the last day?
He took the opportunity to shoot his teleportation into the door. Right before he entered, he did not forget to joke around and say that Holy Maiden was a little girl that had been wiped on the neck by the guard — — He was so shocked that he thought he had caught a wind and quickly straightened his collar.
The entrance was a winding path, but Chang Jing walked through it as if it was her own home. That's right, Xi Yan must have told him about the situation here.
After about five to six minutes, the number of guards inside gradually increased. Chang Jing stopped in front of a room filled with guards and reached her destination.
He hid on the roof of the passageway and carefully observed the movements of the guards — the innermost guards stood there with shining eyes that were rarely seen. They were supposed to be the backbone while the ones outside were patrolling back and forth like the people at the door — but the area was locked on the door, unlike the whole wall, which was patrolled by the people outside. Thus, they were in contact with each other at a much higher frequency, meeting on average once every three minutes.
”Why is it that I can't do anything about it?” Chang Jing snickered, and with a flash, she quietly landed on the roof.
He reached for the glazed roof tiles, but nothing worked.
”Could it be that my magic has boosted me up? No wonder there isn't even a little bit of defense on the roof! ” Chang Jing smiled faintly, the moonlight shining on his face gave off an indescribable self-confidence, as if everything was in his hands, ”If it is so, then I will have to thank you for your confidence!”
Using his right hand, he slowly moved towards the Liu Li Wa, and after probing a bit, he actually found a way — this Liu Li Wa had indeed been boosted by someone, and was even using the ”Lock” incantation that was the size of a small lock — double the magic power was cleverly added between two items, if he wanted to separate the two items, he had to use ten times the strength!
This was also the reason why Sui Yuekong was so at ease. Who in the Demon World had ten times his strength?
Chang Jing unhurriedly operated the Art of Warlord's mental cultivation method, and her magic power continuously flowed into his body. The upper and lower Dantian of the Spirit Demon Beast had already been unintentionally merged into her chest, and even Shi Shen's power could be circulated by it, let alone the pure magic power.
”One inhale, one exhale” was for breathing exercises; ”one draw, one gift” was for the application of the Dao!
Just as he was inhaling and exhaling, the magic power from his hand was channeled into the Liu Li Wai and then retracted back into his hand. In that instant, he broke the [Lock] Incantation that Sui Yuekong had personally added!
With another flash, Chang Jing snaked past the broken glazed glass roof like a spirit serpent and directly entered the room through the heavily guarded door!
There was nothing else in the room.
In the closet, after a fruitless search, he fixed his eyes on the painting of a falcon soaring in the sky — its wings flapping, its eyes blazing.
Chang Jing could not help but praise the exquisite drawing skills of the painting, while her hands ”insensible” touched towards its eyes. With a sneer, Chang Jing felt a trace of magic power from its eyes. Needless to say, this must be a mechanism for it to activate.
