"Trash!" he yelled angrily, "Didn't you swear that nothing would go wrong? What about now? Qin Junyi is still awake?"
Mu Shang knelt on the ground and defended tremblingly, "High Priest, please forgive me, High Priest, please forgive me... It's all my subordinates who did something bad, please punish me by the High Priest. It's just that my subordinates feel that Qin Jun's translation is so powerful." It is absolutely impossible to survive the poison. But, who knew, he would wake up after all!"
"Pah!" A slap hit Mu Shang hard on the face, interrupting his words.
"What a fool!" the high priest cursed through gritted teeth.
Mu Shang covered his swollen cheeks and remained silent.
"High Priest, what should we do next?" After a long time, Mushang asked anxiously.
"Hmph!" The high priest snorted coldly, "Hurry up and find out who saved Qin Junyi, and also give instructions to have people monitor the palace closely and report any abnormalities."
"Yes, I obey." Mu Shang accepted the order and left the secret room.
After Mulshang left, the high priest slowly stood up, looked at the dark basement, and murmured to himself: "No matter who you are? If you dare to ruin my business, no one will survive!"
After saying that, the high priest disappeared in a flash.
The next morning, the sun was rising.
Prince Chen's Mansion.
"Achen, I heard from my father that you are going to find the whereabouts of the demon clan?" Qin Yu frowned.
"Uh-huh." Shangguan Fuchen said casually.
Qin Junyi frowned and sighed, "In that case, Ah Chen, you must be more careful."
"Don't worry. I know in my heart that the high priest has not returned to his peak strength."
The two chatted for a few words, and Qin Yu left in a hurry.
"Your Highness, there is news." The secret guard hiding in the dark suddenly appeared.
"where?"
"A basement in the back hill of the Mu family." The secret guard replied respectfully.
Shangguan Fuchen waved his hand, "Go down."
"Yes, Your Highness."
He immediately walked to Yun Jinyi's room.
"Yiyi, I'm going out for a trip. There is news about the demons."
Shangguan Fuchen was about to leave the house when he suddenly remembered something. He hesitated and turned around to look at Yun Jinyi.
"Ah Chen?" Seeing Shangguan Fuchen stop, Yun Jinyi called him strangely.
"Achen, what are you doing?"
"You stay in the house and are not allowed to go anywhere. Just wait for me to come back." Shangguan Fuchen warned.
Yun Jin pouted, full of grievances, "But I want to go with you."
Shangguan Fuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to be considering, looking at Yun Jinyi's aggrieved look.
Finally, he compromised, "Okay. Then you come with me."
"Yeah!" Yun Jinyi jumped up excitedly and held Shangguan Fuchen's arm.
Shangguan Fuchen couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, showing a happy expression.
"Let's go."
"Yeah!" Yun Jin nodded.
Shangguan Fuchen and Yun Jin left Prince Chen's Mansion and went straight to the mountain behind Mu's house. In front of a barren mountain, four secret guards were waiting here.
"See Your Highness." The four of them saluted.
"How is the situation?" Shangguan Fuchen glanced at them.
The four of them looked at each other, and the leader reported back, "Your Majesty, the subordinates are lurking near the basement of Mu's house. This morning, I found Mu Shang and a man in black discussing something outside. Mu Shang was discussing something with a man in black. Shang looked over and was very scared of the man in black."
"What does the man in black look like?"
"Back to Your Highness, the man is covered with a veil and can't see clearly, but there is a strong black energy lingering around him. I speculate that the man must be extremely powerful. I can't see through his strength at all."
Black energy? Extremely powerful? I'm afraid this person is the demon clan's high priest.
Hearing this, a strange light flashed across Shangguan Fuchen's eyes.
"Let's go in and take a look." He waved his hand and pulled Yun Jinyi towards the back mountain.
"Ah sneeze..." As soon as he stepped into the dense forest, Yun Jinyi sneezed several times.
Shangguan Fuchen glanced at her with concern, "Did you catch a cold?"
"No." Yun Jin shook his head, "Maybe it's the wind blowing the leaves."
Shangguan Fuchen patted Yun Jinyi's head lovingly and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he just opened his legs and walked along the winding mountain road in the mountains.
Yun Jinyi followed him silently. She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy.
After walking for a long time, Shangguan Fuchen suddenly stopped and said, "We're here."
He glanced sideways at the girl beside him.
Yun Jin raised her eyes, followed the direction he pointed, and saw a secret passage not far away.
The passage was pitch dark, with no end in sight.
"Let's go in and take a look." Shangguan Fuchen said.
"Okay." Yun Jin nodded, then hesitated for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Fuchen looked at her suspiciously.
Yun Jinyi hesitated and said, "Achen, I feel a little weird..."
"What's weird?"
"I can't tell, but I just feel uncomfortable." Yun Jin frowned, looking like he was thinking hard.
Hearing this, Shangguan Fuchen pursed his lips, and after a while, he said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Yes." Yun Jin responded lightly, holding Shangguan Fuchen's arm and continuing to walk forward.
Walking through the dark and long passage, the two came to the basement.
Here, it's dark and damp, with gray walls all around, and withered weeds covering the bare floor.
Other than that, there was nothing superfluous in the entire basement, which looked dead and deserted.
The two looked around and found no trace of the high priest and Mul Shang.
Yun Jinyi frowned, "Achen, where are the high priest and Mu Shang?"
Shangguan Fuchen pondered for a moment and then said, "You first find the whereabouts of the demons."
After he finished speaking, the four secret guards immediately retreated.
Yun Jin blinked and looked at the entire basement curiously.
She reached out and patted the walls, muttering, "It's so eerie here, it's so creepy."
"There is indeed something wrong. Let's go first." Shangguan Fuchen held her hand and said.
"Um."
The two were about to leave the basement when suddenly, a hoarse and cold laughter sounded in the originally empty secret room.
"Hehe, hahahaha..."
Laughter filled the entire cave and was eerie.
The two of them paused at the same time and followed the sound carefully.
"Who's playing tricks on you? Get out of here!" Yun Jin shouted angrily.
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew past, and countless black mist appeared out of thin air on the ground, wrapping the two of them, and immediately turned into a black smoke and dissipated.
When the two opened their eyes again, they found that the world in front of them had changed.
At this moment, they saw that they were in a huge room, and all kinds of hideous and terrifying skulls were hung on the four walls of the room.
"Hiss!" Yun Jinyi gasped.
Shangguan Fuchen shook her slender hand comfortingly, raised his eyes to look at the four walls, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
