Chapter 2511 First Hearing of the Spiritual Palace
This is the divine artifact that the Heavenly Demon wanted to take from Shangguan Biao: Yangguan Road!
He Lingchuan once smashed the "Yangguan Road" in front of the Heavenly Demons, shattering their hopes. Many Heavenly Demons believed it was their business, but at least Aunt Zhu and the others didn't believe it at all.
Dong Rui took it, tapped it lightly twice, muttered some incantations, and then pointed it at the hookworm. The mirror immediately began to glow.
"Oh, I've got it! This thing is really useful! Inside the hookworm's body, there is another completely different life form, which can be seen clearly!"
Once you master its usage and know how to search, Yangguandao can not only search for consciousness, but also for life.
Ling Jinbao asked the prisoner, "Tell me about the peach blossom seal."
“We are called ‘Night Demons,’ and each Night Demon is responsible for a specific area within White Pine City. Whenever a peach blossom mark appears within that area, we must rush to collect… this.” Tao Zhi pointed his chin at the table, “Embryonic sac!”
"So the peach blossom mark is just a marker to help you identify your prey?"
"Yes," Tao Zhi dared not refuse to answer. "The peach blossom mark only appears on pregnant women, and it will soon disappear once their embryonic sac is removed."
"And who was responsible for planting the peach blossom marks on them?"
"Then I don't know. I'm just doing my job and don't dare to ask any more questions."
"So women who have lost their embryonic sacs are completely unaware that they have miscarried." Dong Rui nodded. "If they get a few peach blossom marks, they may miscarry a few times. No wonder their bodies gradually become weak."
Ling Jinbao frowned: "That doesn't make sense either. Doctors in the city can't detect pregnancy in women?"
“The embryonic sac is too small, there is no fetal heartbeat, and the pulse is not visible.” Dong Rui pointed to Tao Zhi. “Its mission should have a time limit.”
“Yes, yes. We must complete our mission within three days of these women’s faces beginning to glow. We absolutely cannot, we cannot, wait until the seventh day.” Tao Zhi huddled up in a ball. “A Night Demon was delayed before and was killed.”
"See? If it goes on any longer, the doctor will be able to detect the pregnancy. Then the aftermath will become very complicated."
The main event is coming.
"You're from Yanxia Bay, aren't you?"
"Yes."
He Lingchuan spoke up: "Tell us the situation inside carefully, and perhaps we can spare your life."
“The main part of Yanxia Bay is Lingyun Palace, but we can only live on the outskirts, in a place called Eagle Beak Town.” Tao Zhi licked his lips. “After we retrieve the embryo sac, we hand it over to the leader, who then hands it over to Lingyun Palace. After that, it’s no longer our business.”
So that place was originally called "Lingyun Palace"?
"Tell me about Lingyun Palace."
"There's a barrier between Eagle Beak Town and Lingyun Palace, so we can't get in at all. But I heard from the Night Demon leader who's been there that it's huge inside."
He Lingchuan took out a small sand table and placed it in front of it: "Draw the map of Eagle Beak Town."
Tao Zhi dared not disobey.
Its drawing skills are very poor, but it is still barely legible.
"Also, how do you enter and exit the Yanxia Bay barrier? How many guards are there there?"
Tao Zhi lifted the hair on his belly, revealing the mystery beneath:
"As long as I live, this symbol will help me pass through the barrier."
There was a branded mark on its belly, and the first thing Ling Jinbao wanted to do when he saw it was to cut it off.
However, Tao Zhi also said that this mark can only be recognized by the barrier on a living body.
“Any other living thing that tries to enter the barrier will be detected, even if it uses invisibility or illusion arrays,” Tao Zhi added. “I heard that this barrier is supported by a great deity’s magical artifact, whose name is Miao, Miao…”
Amazing?
"Miao Zhantian?"
"Yes, yes! That's the name."
He Lingchuan never expected that he would hear the name Miao Zhantian on the coast of this remote little country.
Ling Jinbao interjected, "When did your leader enter the Lingyun Palace?"
“In the last ten days or so,” Tao Zhi dared not refuse to answer. “Actually, recently, a lot of people have come to the ship from Yanxia Bay and gone to Lingyun Palace, but we still don’t have enough manpower, so we also transferred some of the Night Demons to help. Our leader came up five days ago and told us that the palace is undergoing a major renovation and is now very busy.”
"How exactly will it be modified?"
"It doesn't know the specifics, but several new tidal caves have been opened underwater in Yanxia Bay, and many people are busy there. It happened to be there on the day the water was released to fill the caves, and it watched the whole process."
Ling Jinbao asked curiously, "What is the Tide Cave?"
"It involves creating artificial reef caves on the coast. When the tide rises, seawater flows in, and when the tide recedes, the seawater remains inside the cave. This constant exchange of seawater during the ebb and flow of the tides is very effective." The Yangshan Islands have many natural sea caves, and in winter they are said to emit eerie cries, which fishermen used to think were the calls of evil spirits.
What's inside the cave?
"I don't know. It's dark in the cave, and we don't like water."
Aunt Zhu couldn't help but interject: "Did it see a big guy, bigger than a whale?"
“It didn’t mention it,” Tao Zhi said. “The leader only came back once, and was transferred to Lingyun Palace the next day. He hasn’t come back since.”
Aunt Zhu sneered, "It won't come back."
"Huh?" Tao Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "No way? Several of our Night Demons have also been transferred there."
"Not one of them will ever come back," Aunt Zhu said ominously. "Having witnessed the secrets of the palace, do you still want to go back alive and brag about it?"
After saying that, Aunt Zhu picked it up and moved it aside. She then returned and set up a soundproof barrier before joining the discussion.
"To find the Hidden God, we'll probably have to make the trip ourselves. Should we infiltrate or launch a direct attack?"
"Let's infiltrate and find out what's going on first," He Lingchuan pondered. "Have Mother Earth prepare for a full-scale attack if necessary!"
"How do we get in?" Ling Jinbao suggested. "How about we take the waterway? Those tidal caves connect to the sea at high tide, so maybe we can dive in."
“That waterway will be a key point that Lingyun Palace guards closely, with countless checkpoints and traps waiting for it. I’m afraid every living being that enters or leaves will be caught off guard,” He Lingchuan analyzed. “We have to enter from a place that they can’t guard against.”
Aunt Zhu glanced at Tao Zhi, who couldn't hear what they were saying, but felt a chill run down his spine: "How about we peel the runes off this guy's belly?"
"That's only one rune. If we capture more Night Demons and find they haven't returned by dawn in Misty Bay, they'll probably be more vigilant. Besides, the barrier around Misty Bay was created by Miao Zhantian; we don't know if the runes we scattered will be able to fool it. If not, it will alert Misty Bay." Misty Bay holds the Heavenly Demons' top secrets, so its security level must be very high.
