In the narrow and dark corridor, quiet breathing can be heard.
Emperor Shitian turned around and saluted respectfully: "Master Nanwu, do you have any other instructions?"
Nanwu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Xiyue, and said, "You go, he stays."
Ye Xiyue's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
Emperor Shitian was quiet for a moment, seemingly puzzled: "What do you mean..."
Nanwu said: "There is something wrong with that Zhou Yuan. This Wang Ling went in and out with him at the same time, and maybe he has different intentions."
Nanwu didn't have any scruples saying these words in front of Ye Xiyue, after all, the other party was just a little guy.
The hands in Ye Xiyue's sleeves slowly clenched.
Does Nanwu mean to keep her here and guard her personally?
This is absolutely not okay!
Now that they had successfully located their mother's location and determined the surrounding route and environment, all that was left was to leave in time.
Otherwise, by the time dawn comes, the three Wang Lings will definitely be discovered dead.
When the incident comes to light, it will be extremely difficult for them to leave!
Time is tight, don't waste a second!
At this moment, Emperor Shitian looked at Nanwu, then at Ye Xiyue, and said as if he had been thinking about it for a long time: "What you said makes sense. In this case, for safety reasons, I am afraid that not only Zhou Yuan must be brought here, but also Zhou Yuan must be brought here."
Even some of his important belongings, etc., need to be searched to make sure nothing is missed, what do you think?"
Nanwu nodded.
This point cannot be ignored. Since Zhou Yuan has already mentioned spiritual roots and other contents, he is probably deeply involved.
Emperor Shitian clasped his fists: "Wang Ling and Zhou Yuan live in the same place and know each other best. I think it might be more appropriate to let him go together."
As if to reassure Nanwu, he added: "My subordinates will keep a close eye on the whole process and leave as soon as possible."
Nanwu frowned.
This makes sense...
Jiang Yan's strength is much stronger than Wang Ling's. With him here, there shouldn't be any trouble.
After a moment, Nanwu finally said: "Yes."
The tight string in Ye Xiyue's mind finally relaxed a little.
She bowed and saluted, assumed a humble and nervous posture, and turned to leave with Emperor Shitian.
…
This journey seems to be extremely long.
There was deathly silence all around, only the sound of the two people's footsteps echoed, one after another, like a knock on the heart.
Ye Xiyue didn't dare to relax at all, her muscles tensed up, and she walked out step by step.
After leaving the restricted area, the two returned to the area outside where a large number of prisoners were held.
Snap!
There was a loud crack of a whip.
Emperor Shitian raised his eyes and saw a man in a black robe dragging a prisoner out of the prison. He hit the man with a long barbed whip and pulled up a piece of blurred flesh and blood.
Hearing the movement, the man turned his head and looked over, his expression cold.
Emperor Shitian guessed the identity of this person almost instantly, bowed his head and saluted: "I have met Mr. Xanthium."
Xanthium raised his whip and signaled them to leave.
Emperor Shitian walked over with Ye Xiyue, leaving the painful and low moans behind him.
After turning two corners, the two finally came to the steps.
As long as you go up here and enter the hall, you can leave the Nether Bone Palace!
On the other side, Xanthium was about to crack the whip again, but suddenly stopped and looked in the direction where the two people left just now, frowning slowly.
