A rough calculation showed that the time they entered Ancient Phoenix Mountain was only six hours!
When Wu Ming crushed Jin Lingzi, he must have used the eighth-level profound formation and reached a point of no return!
What happened to him in this short period of time
And, what about the others
Chu Liuyue calmly withdrew her gaze, moved her wrist slightly to cover up the golden bell, but her mind became more active.
Fortunately, because she had been waiting quietly, not many people were paying attention to her, so no one noticed this subtle change.
As the last group of people from Taiyu Dynasty entered Ancient Phoenix Mountain, the place became quiet again.
According to previous estimates, Guhuang Mountain will be open for about fifteen days.
Half a month later, the three elements will gather at the top, and the power accumulated for thousands of years will explode. Everything on the Ancient Phoenix Mountain will return to balance, and it will automatically enter the next cycle.
In other words, they have to wait outside for half a month.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that some people may come out early because they cannot withstand the pressure or are injured or other reasons.
Everything depends on your own abilities!
Chu Liuyue glanced at the colorful barrier that had returned to normal, her expression slightly calm.
It seems that we have to hurry up
At the same moment, everything was as usual in Linzhou Palace.
Because Jun Qizhi, Jun Jiuqing and others had all gone to Ancient Phoenix Mountain, it was just dawning again, and the palace was very deserted.
East Palace.
One group of patrolling soldiers had just completed the handover with another group.
"Although the prince is not in the palace these days, you still cannot let down your guard. You must be under strict supervision and you must not let anyone in casually. Do you understand!?"
A man at the head shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes! Don't worry, we all know this. How dare we not be careful when doing things here?"
The few officers who took over seemed to be a little afraid of this man, and they all responded with great respect.
"It's good to know!"
Seeing how "obedient" they were, the man nodded with satisfaction and raised his chin at the soldiers behind him.
"Let's go!"
With that said, the group left quickly.
After their figures disappeared completely, the men who took over breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Qian, that man is so powerful. Everyone is patrolling, so why does he seem to be head and shoulders above everyone else?"
A slightly thin young man asked in a strange low voice.
"Humph, Xiao Song, you are replacing the fourth child today. It is your first time here, so you don't know anything. The man just now is named Shang Binghe, but he is someone we can't afford to offend. Don't talk about us. Most of the people who stay in the East Palace to serve him will have to look at his face!"
"Oh? Is he really that powerful?" Xiao Song opened his eyes wide and seemed very surprised, "Is it possible that he has some background that he can't afford to offend?"
"That's not true. He can be so arrogant because he is the confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince! Ever since the Crown Prince came back from training two years ago, he has brought this person back inexplicably and has great trust in him. There are many important people. Everything is left to him, even the defense of the East Palace, and he is fully responsible for it. "
"That's right, with His Highness the Crown Prince protecting you, can you not be arrogant? Hey!"
There were also people nearby who couldn't help but interrupt.
Xiao Song nodded suddenly and murmured in a low voice:
"I see. Then you should be more careful when you see him in the future."
"Haha! That's not the case! You are just temporarily replacing the fourth child these days. After the fourth child recovers from his illness, I will replace you and you won't have to worry about it anymore!"
The man known as Brother Qian patted Xiao Song on the shoulder.
Xiao Song couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Brother Qian, I'm not telling you that you have been working in the East Palace for many years and are much more senior than him. Your status should have been higher than his, but now you are..."
As soon as these words came out, Qian Dehou's face froze, and everyone else fell silent.
Xiao Song seemed to realize the gaffe and said quickly:
"Look at my mouth, I really can't speak! Brother Qian, don't mind! How about - I have a jug of good wine that I just begged for for you to taste?"
Everyone close to him knows that Qian Dehou has no other hobbies except drinking.
Sure enough, when Qian Dehou heard this, his expression immediately relaxed.
But he still frowned and said in a deep voice:
"What are you talking about! How can you drink at this time!?"
Xiao Song chuckled and said:
"Brother Qian, don't get me wrong. I'm not asking you to drink it now. I'm just asking you to take it home and try it again. You are the best at tasting wine. How about you help me take a look at this wine? I'm not very good at this either. Drinking and leaving things here is a waste!"
As he said that, he took out a bottle of wine from the Qiankun Ring without any explanation.
It seems that some of it accidentally spilled out because I didn't hold it firmly.
The refreshing fragrance of wine spreads instantly!
Qian Dehou's eyes lit up.
This wine is clearly the best!
He was immediately shaken, and at Xiao Song's insistence, he accepted the bottle of wine half-heartedly.
"Okay, okay! All done!"
Qian Dehou shouted.
"His Royal Highness is not here now, so you have to watch more carefully, you know!"
"yes!"
Half an hour later, Xiao Song found Qian Dehou in a corner, smelling of alcohol and falling asleep.
He grinned, and the youthful face that was originally a bit youthful suddenly became a bit cunning.
"Hey, the immortal is drunk, plus the ingredients specially added by me, even Daluo Jinxian can't hold it back!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and dragged the person to a more hidden location.
"After drinking my wine, I can lend you these clothes!"
Not long after, Qian Dehou appeared in front of the inner courtyard of the East Palace and showed his sign.
"The Crown Prince has an order for me to come to the study to pick up something."
The officer in charge was very surprised when he saw the person coming.
The East Palace is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. People on both sides guard the two sides separately, especially those in charge of the outer courtyard, who almost never come to the inner courtyard.
What is Qian Dehou doing here
The two looked at each other and found that each other had a blank look on their faces.
"Captain Qian, you said you came to pick up something on the prince's order? But shouldn't His Highness the prince have already entered the Ancient Phoenix Mountain by now?"
Qian De raised his thick eyelids.
"This is the arrangement His Highness the Crown Prince made before he left. Why, are you doubting me or His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Don't dare!"
Qian Dehou is considered an old man in the East Palace, and he has a certain face.
What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's behavior is indeed more arbitrary on weekdays.
"Do you need someone from your subordinates to go with you?"
Qian Dehou glanced at them lightly.
"The prince's secret order, the fewer people know about it, the better, do you understand?"
The two of them didn't dare to ask any more questions and had no choice but to answer.
"yes!"
Qian Dehou adjusted his collar and walked inside.
