591: Chapter 584: The Secret of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar?
“This way….
we can surely….,”
“Indeed….”
“Hmm….
Jiao Xi, all these years, and for the first ti, I’ve realized you do have so wisdom.
This is indeed an excellent plan.
However, this plan of yours needs a minor adjustnt here.
Instead of targeting one house, why not have both houses co together!”
“Madam is insightful!”
“Moreover, this matter is not suitable for you to handle in person!
After all, you hold a high position in the Divine Sect, and if soone recognizes you…..”
“What do you an, Madam?”
“Let Liu Hong handle it!
Even for Liu Hong, he must disguise himself.
His identity must not be exposed at any cost!” After discussing the matter, Yua Hanjing and Jiao Xi’s voices beca louder, but Ye Zhen was extrely anxious.
From the bits and pieces Ye Zhen heard, the despicable plan they had devised seed to be very formidable, particularly Jiao Xi, who seed utterly confident in using this strategy to deal with Ye Zhen!
However, after settling on the plan, they stopped ntioning it!
“Madam, shall we have Liu Hong take care of it tomorrow?” asked Jiao Xi.
“No, the sooner the better!
Have him handle it overnight tonight.
After all, it takes ti to initiate the plan from their side!
Moreover, with each passing day, Ye Zhen, that lad, is gaining more fa, who knows what creation he might encounter,” said Yua Hanjing.
“Understood!”
As Jiao Xi responded, he waved his hand to summon Liu Hong, who had been on guard from a distance, and gave him a hushed, detailed briefing—leaving Ye Zhen extrely agitated and helplessly anxious.
“Madam, I’ve instructed him well, so tonight….”
“That’s it!
Liu Hong, you must be very careful with tonight’s task!
If you handle it well, I definitely won’t let you down!”
“Madam, rest assured, I’ll be extrely cautious!” The low voice of Liu Hong sounded.
Then, the sound of strong winds cutting through the air could be heard, as if the three of them had already left.
But Ye Zhen dared not move an inch.
Ye Zhen was currently using the Hundred Transformations Thousand Shadows Robe to hide his presence and form, and the robe naturally blocked Divine Soul Power.
Otherwise, he would not have remained undiscovered even under the scrutiny of Divine Soul Power sweeps by four Divine Altar Guards.
Ye Zhen could not, and did not dare, to stretch out his Spirit Perception.
Therefore, he could also not confirm whether the three of them had really left.
The kind of trick often seen in Jianghu where one pretends to leave only to circle back and catch soone off guard was sothing Ye Zhen had encountered before.
At this mont, he absolutely could not afford to reveal himself prematurely.
But Ye Zhen was worried.
Listening to Jiao Xi and Yua Hanjing, the crucial part of their plan to deal with him now depended entirely on Liu Hong, and it could one hundred percent eliminate Ye Zhen!
Even the malicious Yua Hanjing called it a wonderfully vicious plan, which made Ye Zhen apprehensive.
If possible, Ye Zhen wanted to intercept Liu Hong halfway and figure out precisely what malicious plan Yua Hanjing had concocted.
Otherwise, Ye Zhen might really have to take refuge in Fengh Qingyue’s courtyard.
But right now, Ye Zhen dared not show himself rashly.
In his anxiety, Ye Zhen thought of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, which had shrunk to half the size of a palm due to the pressure in his arms.
Previously, when he chased out of the courtyard, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had imdiately followed.
However, since the Liu Hong who lured Ye Zhen had been running on the ground all along, Ye Zhen didn’t need the assistance of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.
Now, however, it might be of use, albeit slightly risky.
Although the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, after performing the Universe Wishful Secret Technique, would minimize the fluctuations of its power to an extre, making it difficult to detect, there was still a certain risk.
But then again, in this situation, what isn’t risky?
Moving his Divine Sense and carefully instructing the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, the kitten, now the size of half a palm, crept out like a mouse from Ye Zhen’s collar and stealthily made its way toward the shadows of the courtyard wall outside the Divine Altar.
A tiny pair of fleshly wings fluttered slightly, and a clump of clouds silently approached, enveloping the body of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.
Under the moonlight, a cloud of qi floated upwards but, since the Main Temple of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was built halfway up the mountain and it was the dead of night with plenty of fog and cloud qi,…
…a drifting cloud of qi hardly attracted any attention.
In the blink of an eye, it rged with the clouds high in the sky.
Within the high clouds, tiger eyes small as grains of rice sparkled with electricity, scanning around, and then slowly following a figure on the ground.
The figure wasn’t moving quickly, so it was relatively easy for the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten to follow.
On the ground, Ye Zhen remained patient, blending into the shadows, but he began to slowly shift his body.
Turning at a painstakingly slow pace, as if in slow motion, he was careful not to make a sound.
It took half a quarter-hour for Ye Zhen to slowly turn his head and scan his surroundings, including the sky, carefully observing in every direction.
Only after corroborating with what the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had seen did Ye Zhen ensure there were no ambushes around and prepare to leave.
Still, he proceeded with extre caution!
After all, four terrifying entities at around the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm were stationed within these ten miles or so, making it impossible for Ye Zhen to be careless.
But just as Ye Zhen was about to move, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
Where there had been no one just a mont before, at the gate of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, a wafting black figure had suddenly appeared.
The black figure floated like the wind and smoke, gradually approaching the gate of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, less than a mile away from the positions of the four Divine Altar Guards.
Yet, inside the outer courtyard of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, there was still no movent.
Almost stricken with shock, Ye Zhen didn’t hesitate to lower his head and tightly close his eyes, cutting off his breathing through his mouth and nose.
Just as Ye Zhen bowed his head, that smoky, illusory figure suddenly turned back to look in Ye Zhen’s direction, with eyes as profound as the ocean, unexpectedly emitting solid Divine Light that extended up to thirty feet!
Clearly, that person had sensed Ye Zhen’s gaze!
Seeming to be wary of sothing, the Divine Light bursting from the figure’s eyes appeared and disappeared in an instant; after sweeping over Ye Zhen’s location twice and finding nothing, the figure leisurely turned around and continued to drift towards the gate of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar’s outer courtyard.
In the shadow of the wall corner, cold sweat instantly seeped through his skin, sticking uncomfortably to the Hundred Transformations Thousand Shadows Robe Ye Zhen was wearing, but what startled Ye Zhen even more was the figure’s gaze.
The terror of that gaze was sothing Ye Zhen had rarely encountered in his life.
That person’s look had substance to it; when it swept over Ye Zhen, it was like a harrow over the soil, directly causing Ye Zhen to feel pain.
This was rely a look!
Just a look, and yet it caused Ye Zhen’s flesh to feel pain!
Even when facing Tus De, an elder at the Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, Ye Zhen had never experienced such a sensation!
And in most cases, a Seventh Stage Martial Artist of the Vein Forging Realm was the peak of that realm!
Establishnt King!
Ye Zhen felt, with so certainty, that the figure was undoubtedly a King at the Establishnt Realm!
Beyond the shock, Ye Zhen was extrely surprised and delighted by the miraculous nature of the Hundred Transformations Thousand Shadows Robe!
Under the scrutiny of an Establishnt King’s gaze, he had not been discovered; the wonder of the Hundred Transformations Thousand Shadows Robe was undeniable.
Only after perceiving that the gaze had been withdrawn did Ye Zhen very slowly turn his head, using his peripheral vision to look in the direction of the elder.
He was certain it was an elder because Ye Zhen had vaguely seen a strand of white hair just before.
Then, Ye Zhen witnessed an extrely bizarre scene!
The elder’s figure, as ethereal as smoke, approached the gate of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar’s outer courtyard as if to pass through it.
Just as he got close, a strand of crimson brilliance suddenly burst forth from the gate of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar’s outer courtyard.
That must have been the Guardian Formation of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar’s outer courtyard being triggered.
But what was terrifying was that the elder rely lightly pressed a hand against it, and the just-erged strand of crimson brilliance vanished without a trace, and the gate of the outer courtyard returned to tranquility.
In a flash, the elder drifted silently into the Sun and Moon Divine Altar’s outer courtyard.
Ye Zhen, observing with his peripheral vision, was now completely like soone who had seen a ghost!
The burst of crimson light from that gate was clearly a warning triggered by the Guardian Formation, yet it was smoothed over by the elder!
And the four Divine Altar Guards stationed around the Sun and Moon Divine Altar’s outer courtyard were completely unaware!
Being able to soothe an already activated formation, what kind of Cultivation was that?
What kind of ability?
If soone had told Ye Zhen about this ability before, he would have scoffed.
Even if the person was an Establishnt King, they couldn’t possibly perform such an abnormal feat.
But now, Ye Zhen had seen it with his own eyes!
Yet what shocked Ye Zhen even more was the incident itself!
The Sun and Moon Divine Altar was a forbidden land of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
Those who had the right to enter, like Grand Commander Jio Yuanxiu, were provided with a Jade Talisman, which permitted direct access to the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.
How could they possibly trigger the Guardian Formation?
In other words, this elder was a…
thief!
“Should I sound the alarm, or should I not?” Caught up in shock, Ye Zhen found himself in a dilemma.
But after a few breaths, Ye Zhen realized that his dilemma was superfluous.
He couldn’t even explain his own appearance here; what warning was there to give?
And what if the elder was not a thief?
But now, none of this was important anymore.
Ye Zhen was now harboring another impulsive idea — if even an Establishnt King had to sneak into the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, then what secrets did it hold within?
Ye Zhen was extrely curious!
Especially after witnessing that mysterious elder enter the Sun and Moon Divine Altar’s outer courtyard with such ease, Ye Zhen toyed with the idea of following the elder to catch a glimpse, especially now that he had discovered the Hundred Transformations Thousand Shadows Robe could conceal his presence even from an Establishnt King.
However, Ye Zhen swiftly dismissed this thought.
It was that instant of terrifying gaze from the elder that dissuaded Ye Zhen; with a gaze so dreadful, it was impossible for Ye Zhen to play the role of the opportunistic yellow sparrow.
Moreover, places the elder could breach, Ye Zhen might not necessarily be able to get through.
After much struggle, Ye Zhen finally suppressed his own curiosity and abandoned the thought.
For now, Ye Zhen still needed to strive for his own safety.
“I wonder how Wang Xiaomao is doing following Liu Hong…”
Having made up his mind, Ye Zhen slowly moved his body, silently shifting away from the wall of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, continuing to stealthily move towards the distance.
Once he was far away from the Sun and Moon Divine Altar’s outer courtyard, Ye Zhen would be able to take off the Hundred Transformations Thousand Shadows Robe and make contact with Wang Xiaomao using their Divine Soul connection!
