C20 The Wrath of the Altar
It was night, and all the imperial physicians were locked up in an abandoned palace by Le Su. The eerie palace was filled with traces of a terrifying aura, there was no light in the dark and empty palace. Several imperial physicians were huddled up in a corner of the palace, shivering.
Just as the several imperial physicians were about to be devoured by this terrifying darkness, a ray of light appeared in a corner of the hall, as if someone had opened a door. The imperial physicians were like travelers lost in the desert when they saw an oasis. They fought their way towards the light.
As they neared the door, just as they thought they had been given a new lease of life, a snow-white object suddenly burst out of the light, howling and rushing in.
The light was somewhat dazzling, so the imperial physicians' eyes were momentarily unable to adapt. When they opened them again, shock and fear filled their eyes. In an instant, the joy of regaining life transformed into fear of death.
Standing in front of them was none other than Princess Le Su's pet — — Snow Regiment. The snowball's eyes were filled with excitement and greed. It excitedly stuck out its tongue and licked its mouth, which had ended so many lives.
At this moment, the imperial physicians looked as if their feet had been glued to them. They didn't move at all, and their throats seemed to have been sealed as well. They couldn't make a single sound. When Snowball licked her feet and smoothed her beautiful snow-white fur, she let out a satisfied howl, as if to say, "I'm going to start eating, my prey."
The imperial physicians seemed to have been awakened by this thunderous roar as they scattered in all directions, shouting in alarm, "Help! "Don't eat me!" I don't want to die, I don't want to die! " He saw that the old imperial physician had been caught by the snowball in the corner of his clothes, struggling with all his might to break free.
The snowball used its claws to trample on the old imperial physician's clothes. It opened its mouth and roared again, as if to say, "I got you! Oh, I'm going to start eating now." She only saw the snowball open its bloody maw and take a swipe at the old imperial physician's arm. The old imperial physician's terrified expression reflected in the snowball's eyes. "Ah!" The old imperial physician only had time to let out a miserable cry before he fainted with one arm missing.
The snowball quickly disposed of the arm. It seemed as if the meat was too old and too hard. It growled in dissatisfaction. Obviously it was dissatisfied with the food. The snowball kicked at the ground from behind, its eyes swept across every corner of the palace, growled, and rushed towards a certain direction.
The imperial physicians' fearsome cries reverberated in the dark palace, mixed with the excited roars of the snowflakes. They were drowned out by the boundless darkness.
Perhaps because he was afraid that the snowball would eat out like last time, Le Su still ordered someone to bring the snowball back. Perhaps because it had been playing for too long, the snowball was a bit tired, so it obediently followed him back to its bedroom. As a result, all the imperial physicians managed to avoid the calamity, but without a complete body. It was likely that they wouldn't live much longer.
At midnight, Qian Sang woke up. Perhaps it was because her soul had been affected by Han Mo's blood, but after waking up, her body felt much better. Qian Sang Sang thought about it and decided to find out everything about this country. She felt that there must be some kind of unspeakable secret behind it.
"Lange," Qian Sang called to her. "Princess, you're awake. Are you feeling better?" Yun Zhi asked carefully.
"I'm fine now, I'm Qian Sang Sang. I want to ask you for a favor."
Yun Zhi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Whatever you want me to do, I will do my best to help you."
"You told me the story of Le Su's mother last time. Do you know anything else about the Holy Maiden? "Tell me everything you know. Maybe I can help you, help your sister."
Yun Zhi suddenly knelt down. "I beg you, please save my sister. I will do anything you ask of me. For my sister's sake, even if I have to die, I am willing to do so!"
Qian Sang Sang walked over and helped Yun Zhi up. "Hurry and get up. I said that I would help you, so I will. You get up first and tell me about the Saintess. What do you know?"
Yun Zhi thought for a bit and said, "Ever since the princess came out of the altar, her personality has become more moody, even more so than before. No one knows what happened to the princess at the altar. Maybe the altar will have the answer you want. "
After saying this, Yun Zhi helped Qian Sang to put on his clothes. The two of them put on their black cloaks, took advantage of the cover of darkness to quickly disappear into the darkness.
After a while, they arrived at the entrance to the altar. Since the altar was the most important place in the kingdom, it was heavily guarded. Squads of patrols were patrolling back and forth at the entrance, making it impossible for them to enter.
At this moment, Yun Zhi suddenly thought back to the last time on the altar, when she had stumbled upon a small path that connected the altar with the outside world.
"Princess, I remember there is a path that leads to the altar. Please follow me."
After a while, the two of them arrived at the entrance to the path that Yun Zhi had mentioned. Since the altar was built on a mountain, the entrance to the path was also a small cave. The entrance was covered by a pile of branches. Yun Zhi went over, cleared the branches, and took out a poker to light a lantern they had brought. The two of them carried the lantern and entered the cave.
The two of them walked for a while and noticed that there was some light at the entrance of the cave. Delighted, they thought that they had arrived at the altar. Thus, the two of them quickened their steps and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
The two of them observed the surroundings for a while. Seeing that no one had noticed them, Qian Sansa said to Yun Zhi, "You stay here and guard it. I will be back soon. If anything happens, learn from Nightingale. I will pay attention." "Don't worry, princess. You will have to be careful. I will wait for you here." "Yes."
When Qian Sang Sang finished his sentence, he wanted to lift his foot and walk through the hole, but he was suddenly repelled by the force as if he had hit a wall.
"Princess!" Are you alright? " Yun Zhi quickly ran toward Qian Sang Sang, "Princess, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Yun Zhi helped Qian Sang Sang up.
"Damn, what is this thing? It's quite flexible like a balloon." Qian Sang Sang patted his butt, "This fall hurts. No, I have to see what the hell is this. Barrier?" a Spirit Formation? "
With that, Qian Sang Sang stepped forward again. He stretched out his palm towards the cave entrance, and another force pushed her out. Luckily, Yun Zhi was able to quickly hold Qian Sang Sang back, otherwise, her butt would have bloomed again.
"Princess, why don't we go back first. It seems like we won't be able to enter this Sacred Land for a while, moreover, the sky is about to brighten. If we don't go back now, others might suspect us and we can come back another day."
Qian Sang Sang rubbed his butt in pain and said, "Ah, it seems that we won't be able to enter the Sacred Land today. Let's go." With that, she limped out of the cave with the support of Yun Zhi.
What they didn't know was that right now, the inside of the city was a sea of fire …
