In just a short while, Jiang Xuecheng changed his clothes with a few trusted guards and left the Divine Court together.
Jiang Xuecheng was sitting on a shabby-looking maglev car. The car was extremely inconspicuous and did not attract any attention at all as it passed through the downtown area.
Jiang Xuecheng followed the steps of the high priest and his men at a leisurely pace, using the transmission of the video recording electronic screen.
—If I’m not mistaken, the new address of the high priest’s laboratory is probably in this city!
Now that I think about it, the high priest is really patient!
Since they are all in the same city, the high priest has been able to forbear and not gather his own forces. This kind of scheming is truly rare!
Perhaps it was because Fiennes was still alive and the Siswell family had spies everywhere, so the high priest was afraid of alerting the enemy
As for now…
Jiang Xuecheng sat upright on the red copper chair, a pair of phoenix eyes flashing with contemplation.
Is there something urgent that makes the high priest so eager to gather his forces
Just as Jiang Xuecheng was thinking, he suddenly heard a crackling sound of electricity coming from the electronic camera screen.
It seemed as if the high priest and his maglev car turned into a manor, and the screen suddenly went black, and nothing could be seen!
…
How is this going?!
Why can't the picture be displayed at all? !
Jiang Xuecheng frowned sharply, and he quickly turned his head to ask the attendant who was in charge of the communication.
"Xiao Wei, what's wrong? Is there a malfunction? Or have we been discovered by the high priest?"
The worst-case scenario is undoubtedly that the electronic chip embedded in Mingye's body is discovered.
Jiang Xuecheng was afraid that if he failed to rescue in time, Ming Ye’s life would be in jeopardy!
So when this question was raised, Jiang Xuecheng's breathing paused slightly.
The servant who was replaced by Xiao Wei by Jiang Xuecheng shook his head.
"Your Highness, they probably didn't find us because the signal flow displayed here was blocked, I guess..."
Xiao Wei seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly paused and stopped talking.
Jiang Xuecheng was most impatient with people who stopped talking halfway. His face was stern and he almost immediately urged the other party to give the answer.
"What's your guess? Just say it. Don't worry about whether your guess is right or wrong."
Xiao Wei gritted his teeth.
"I guess the manor that the high priest and his men just entered is their destination. The signal stopped about five or six minutes after they entered. The manor must have equipment to block the signal!"
So, it wasn’t the “gadget” on Mingye that was discovered, but the signal was interfered with by the high priest’s equipment
No matter what the answer is, Jiang Xuecheng knows that he cannot hesitate.
Although he traveled light this time, all the guards present were elites and equipped with the best weapons.
Sneaking in now does not mean there is no chance of winning!
Jiang Xuecheng's eyes gradually became firmer. He made a prompt decision and quickly gave instructions to the people around him.
"In that case, let's sneak into that manor now!"
A tall and thin young man next to Jiang Xuecheng was stunned and spoke to Jiang Xuecheng hesitantly.
"Your Highness, we don't know how many ambushes there are in that manor. Should we wait a little longer and let the backup troops come first?"
Since the high priest dared to enter the manor like this, he didn't dare to take the risk easily because he didn't know the depth of the manor.
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head at the tall and thin young man.
"No need. Now is the best time. We can go in first and catch them off guard. At the same time, we can call for backup troops to come and be on standby at any time."
"If the backup troops don't receive our orders for more than half an hour after we go in, we can just tell them to come in and provide support!"
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng had made up his mind, the tall and thin young man did not want to make any more suggestions, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"good!"
…
Soon, Jiang Xuecheng and his group arrived at the gate of the manor.
Jiang Xuecheng was agile and was the first to flip over and directly avoid the surveillance of the electronic eye. He then used weapons to cut off the connection between the electronic eye and the inside of the manor.
Soon after, the accompanying guards followed in.
To Jiang Xuecheng's surprise, although they saw the maglev car that the high priest and Ming Ye were riding in the yard, there was no one in the car!
There's not even a guard there!
Jiang Xuecheng became suspicious and keenly felt that something was wrong with this courtyard.
However, at this moment, they have already drawn the arrow to shoot!
Jiang Xuecheng believed that no matter how many people the high priest had, they should have no problem holding out for half an hour. Even if they were at a disadvantage, the backup troops would be enough to turn the situation around.
So, with this bold attitude of trying, Jiang Xuecheng and his followers searched the entire courtyard!
However, there was still no one!
Where did the high priest go
Jiang Xuecheng secretly hated the fact that the signal of the electronic transmitter was blocked. In those crucial few minutes, he lost the whereabouts of the high priest and his men!
The tall and thin young man who had been standing next to Jiang Xuecheng was also very surprised by this situation.
He sternly looked at me and asked Jiang Xuecheng respectfully.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Jiang Xuecheng was upset at the moment because he had lost sight of the high priest and his group, and had no time to answer the other party's questions.
Suddenly, Jiang Xuecheng's attention was attracted by a flower bed and rockery.
There is a rockery there with jagged rocks. Perhaps because it rained the night before, the road on the other side of the rockery is a bit muddy, and it can be seen that it has been trampled by some footsteps.
Could it be that the high priest’s laboratory is right under this rockery
No matter how absurd this guess was, Jiang Xuecheng was determined to give it a try.
"Come with me!"
Jiang Xuecheng waved his hand, and then took the lead to walk into the rockery.
Sure enough, just a few steps away, Jiang Xuecheng felt that a thick stone slab was buried in the center of the rockery.
The feeling of stepping on it is very different.
"You guys get this slab up!"
"OK"
Following Jiang Xuecheng's order, the stone slab was quickly moved to the side. Looking down from above, a long passage was revealed.
And there are wall lamps everywhere, so it’s not dim at all.
Many guards were suddenly in an uproar, as if they had not expected that there would be such a different world here.
Jiang Xuecheng curled up a smile, then restrained his expression and began to give instructions to everyone.
"You guys follow me down first. Xiao Wei, you stay up there and if there's any unusual movement, be ready to contact the backup team outside!"
Among these people, Xiao Wei is the one Jiang Xuecheng values the most, and Jiang Xuecheng knows that Xiao Wei's parents were killed by the high priest, so he is the least likely to defect!
…
The young man called Xiao Wei nodded solemnly to Jiang Xuecheng, and then watched Jiang Xuecheng and his group jump into the passage.
Next to the rocky rockery, Xiao Wei was the only one left. He had a nervous look on his face, anxiously waiting for what would happen next.
Your Highness, will everything be alright
