“Don’t eat it. It’s harmful to your body.” Feng Qingtian touched her head.
Gu Bailu could only nod. She had wanted to trick Xiao Jingyun and the others, but it seemed that she had no choice.
“But it doesn’t matter. I have an invisibility rune that’ll prevent them from seeing me.”
Feng Qingtian nodded and looked carefully around the corner. There was still nothing in the palace except for the guards who were patrolling the place.
The door was tightly shut. Not only did they have to avoid the guards, they also had to jump up and press a spot to open the door.
“How many invisibility runes are there?” asked Feng Qingtian.
Gu Bailu counted. “Ten. Drawing this thing consumes too much spiritual power. I don’t dare draw too many.”
“Let’s wait for now. If it doesn’t work out, we can use this to go in.”
It was already dark when they entered the underground palace. They had to find out what was going on.
Gu Bailu nodded. “Qian’er and the others should be at the entrance.”
As soon as she said that, a group of people ran toward them, and Feng Qingtian hurriedly told them to hide.
The team passed them and headed straight for the entrance.
The closed golden door suddenly opened, and two tall figures, the Archfiend and Xiao Jingyun, walked out.
“What happened?” The Archfiend’s strange, hellish voice rang out.
Xiao Jingyun smiled. “It’s all because of those clowns. They want to steal the pill, but they thought they could get in here? Don’t worry, I’m well-prepared this time. I won’t let them come in like last time.”
“Let’s go take a look. Prince Zi and the others might be back.” The Archfiend was more cautious than Xiao Jingyun.
He had suffered at Gu Bailu’s hands once and had yet to return to his nest after half a year. He was enraged and wanted to vent his anger on her.
“It shouldn’t be them. There’s no news from Bai Wuxin.”
“Stay here and watch the Crimson Spirit Pill. Don’t leave. I’ll go take a look.” The Archfiend wasn’t as blindly optimistic as he was.
Xiao Jingyun didn’t quite agree. “It’s about to mature. It’s not a good time to leave. It’s fine to just guard the pill. Even if they come in, they’ll just die.”
“Don’t forget there’s Gu Bailu. You don’t know what she’s like.”
After knowing Gu Bailu’s identity, the Archfiend feared her the most.
More than a hundred years ago, she dared bring people to tear down his nest, and he wasn’t able to return for a hundred years.
He wanted revenge.
The Archfiend and his men brushed past Gu Bailu and the others and didn’t notice them.
That was the benefit of having no spiritual power…
You don’t have it, I don’t have it. It’s fair for everybody.
Without spiritual power, it wasn’t easy to find somebody hiding in a corner.
After all, everyone relied on spiritual power most of the time. Nobody honed their primitive sense of vigilance.
A large number of imperial guards had also gone to the entrance of the underground palace. Right now, the imperial guards were only half as strong as before.
Xiao Jingyun entered and closed the door.
Gu Bailu and Feng Qingtian looked at each other. It seemed that the Crimson Spirit Pill was really about to mature.
If they didn’t seize the supreme pill in time, the human world really might become a purgatory.
Plus, Heavenly Palace Cliff and the Archfiend were in cahoots.
It definitely wasn’t a good thing for these people to be together.
“Just enter with the invisibility rune. There’s no time.” Gu Bailu gave everyone an invisibility rune.
