The two black shadows transformed into black mist froze, lowered their heads, and said in a trembling voice: "This, we really don't know this! The Lord doesn't come often, and for people of our level,
We are not qualified to meet him, and we don’t even know why so many people are imprisoned. We are only responsible for patrolling the mountains, and we don’t know anything else!"
Ye Xiyue asked again: "So, since you came to this Immortal Mountain, you have never been to the top of the mountain?"
"Yes, yes! It's absolutely true. We don't dare to deceive you!"
Probably because they were extremely afraid of the iron lock, the two of them behaved respectfully. They answered whatever Ye Xiyue asked.
Of course, Ye Xiyue did not believe all their answers.
"If I want to go to the top of the mountain and enter the Nether Bone Palace, what can I do?" Ye Xiyue continued to ask.
Both of them were extremely embarrassed.
"Well, the Nether Bone Palace is heavily guarded. I'm afraid, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do!"
Emperor Shitian stood aside and suddenly said: "Apart from the Lord Wu Cang you mentioned, who else is qualified to enter and exit the Nether Bone Palace?"
Wang Ling said quickly: "There are also Master Nanwu, Master Xian Er, and Master Qi Feng. Apart from the Lord, these four adults are the highest-ranking people in the Immortal Mountain. They are also responsible for guarding the Nether Bone Palace in turn."
"Are they guarding it alone, or two of them?"
"Since, naturally the two of us are together..."
"How strong are these four people?"
"...They are all spiritual saints, but we don't know the specific one..."
Emperor Shitian nodded, with a calm expression, obviously not surprised by this answer.
These two people can only be regarded as marginal figures in the Immortal Mountain, and it is normal for them not to be exposed to them.
As for the Nether Bone Palace, two strong men of the Spiritual Saint level are required to guard it at the same time every time. This shows how much they value the people imprisoned inside.
At this moment, Ye Xiyue couldn't help but feel lucky that she had come here secretly. If she had rushed in rashly, with such a defensive force, even she would not have the confidence to escape unscathed.
The situation here was more troublesome than she expected.
You know, even in Shenfeng Cliff, only the six elders of the Elder Hall are at the Spiritual Saint level, and the Baili clan is still the top clan force in the realm of the gods.
But this Immortal Mountain actually has at least four spiritual saints, a real Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
It is obviously unrealistic to want to take on the identities of those four adults and enter the Nether Bone Palace.
Ye Xiyue lowered her eyes slightly, tapping the iron lock unconsciously with her scallion-like fingers.
No matter what, this time I must at least confirm that my mother is in the Nether Bone Palace and be familiar with the situation inside and outside the Nether Bone Palace before taking action.
At this moment, Emperor Shitian suddenly said: "Someone is back."
Ye Xiyue was stunned, raised her eyes and followed his line of sight, and saw a man in black robes walking silently outside the window.
He seemed to be going to the house next to him, but more importantly - he was coming down along the road to the top of the mountain!
——This is a person responsible for patrolling halfway up the mountain!
Ye Xiyue's heart moved, and she quickly exchanged a look with Emperor Shitian.
Emperor Shitian raised his thin lips slightly: "It's a coincidence that he came back, isn't it?"
Ye Xiyue put the two masses of black mist back into the iron locks and stood up.
"That's it."
…
At the top of the mountain, Yougu Palace.
Inside the cell, moans full of sorrow and pain came from each compartment, like ghosts screaming.
