King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 459: crisis

  Chapter 459 Crisis

   "Your Highness, this..." Standing beside Huang Zhanwu, a young woman who seemed to be of high status spoke softly.

  Huang Zhanwu also looked at the five passages in front of him with a troubled face, and glanced at Junli and the others beside him.

  The news of the dark pavilion spread all over the world. Based on their previous familiarity with Qi Yunshan's road, they might know which of the five passages is the real one. It's just that they are here, so they have not left for a long time...

  Huang Zhanwu thought so, she had already made up her mind to follow Junli and the others closely, never letting go of their every move!

  So standing in front of the five passages, everyone fell silent, and no one took a step forward.

   After a long time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the depths of the passage with footprints!

  Everyone's nerves tense up instantly!

   Someone! Could it be that they are from the hidden race?

  Everyone secretly speculated that the whole body has entered the stage of defense.

   At this moment, Junli suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the second passage on the right!

  There, she felt that the glazed crescent moon on her wrist seemed strange.

   Without the slightest hesitation, Junli chose that passage!

   But at the same time, she also heard footsteps coming from the depths of the passage that was originally full of footprints.

   It seems that it is very likely that people from the Yin race found that the passage was wrong, so they turned back!

  Looking at the remaining four passages, Junli doesn't know which one she will choose when the Yinzu comes out later, but there is no doubt about the one she wants to go!

  Take Qin Muyan's hand, greet Shangluo Yuyi and others, and quickly run to the second passage on the right!

  Of course, Junli's footsteps are very light, if you don't listen carefully, you can hardly hear them.

  Which passage Junli and the others entered, Huang Zhanwu naturally followed closely, and a group of people quickly disappeared at the entrance of the five passages.

  Before leaving, Junli sent someone to go last, and wiped off all their footprints on the ground with a gentle palm wind.

   Seeing this, Huang Zhanwu also sent two people to walk at the end to help with the cleaning work after the break.

  So when the Yin people walked out of the leftmost passage with a bad face, no clues were left for them.

  Walking in the forefront, wearing a ghost mask on his face, the hermit patriarch in a dark red robe looked around sharply and coldly, and instantly froze at the second passage on the right.

  Although the movements of Junli and the others were very light just now, with the terrifying strength of the Yin clan patriarch, it is not impossible to catch some of them.

   "Has the Ninth Elder arrived yet?" The cold, almost panic-stricken voice spit out from the mouth of the Yin clan patriarch in a dark red robe, instantly causing everyone in the Yin clan to shudder.

  An old woman who seemed to be in her sixties came forward, and said in a calm voice, "Patriarch Hui, there must be something delaying Lao Jiu, and he should be here soon."

  Hearing this, the red lips of the Yin clan patriarch raised slightly, but there was no smile at all.

   "Elder Seven, if you defend Elder Ninth again, the Lord will cut off your tongue."

  The patriarch of the Yin clan said lightly, without any emotional fluctuations, which instantly made everyone feel cold.

  Elder Seven even shut up directly, not daring to say anything.

   Regarding this, the Yin clan patriarch did not move at all, the corners of his lips were still slightly raised, looking very relaxed.

   Lift your feet slightly and walk towards the second passage on the right. Before leaving, a cold voice reached everyone's ears.

   "If the Ninth Elder comes, you don't need to report it, just kill him." After saying that, the dark red figure walked into the passage and disappeared from everyone's sight.

  All the people who stayed in the same place felt chills in their hearts. The patriarch's words were always the same. Since she spoke like this, the Ninth Elder must have no way out!

  In the clan, although the power of the elders is said to be second only to the patriarch. But their power is also given by the patriarch. Without a patriarch, the so-called elders, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, are not qualified to manage the large and small affairs of the Yin clan, and they are not qualified to order the clan members of the Yin clan!

  So every elder is extremely important to the people in the hidden clan, and even more so. But for the Yin clan patriarch, these people are just people who help her manage the trivial affairs of the clan, so they are dispensable!

  The Ninth Elder dared not arrive here within the time ordered by the patriarch, that is to despise the words of the patriarch. This is impossible for the patriarch to tolerate. Therefore, the only way to face the Ninth Elder is death.

  Everyone secretly wiped off the cold sweat from their foreheads, leaving two people standing here waiting for the arrival of the Ninth Elder.

   But what none of them knew was that the Ninth Elder was dead, in the white mist area.

  —

  Junli and his group walked quickly. As they walked deeper and deeper, the luminous pearls on both sides became more and more dense, and branch roads began to appear around the passage.

  However, these forked roads did not distract Junli, relying on the guidance of Liuli Xinyue on her wrist, she walked straight towards a passage without the slightest hesitation.

  During the period, Luo Yuyi and the others glanced at Huang Zhanwu and the others who were following closely behind them. After seeing that they were not making any small movements, they acquiesced to follow them.

  After all, no one can tell whether there will be any danger ahead. Let Huang Zhanwu and others follow, and they may be able to withstand danger when they encounter danger.

   After everyone walked away for an unknown amount of time, a stone door appeared in front of them.

  After confirming that there were no traps around, Junli stepped forward and carefully looked at the stone gate in front of him.

  The stone gate is very thick and cannot be opened by manpower at all. After observing carefully for a while, Junli found a groove on the lower right side of the stone gate.

  It was a small diamond-shaped groove, which looked very inconspicuous, and I didn't know what to put in it.

  But Junli felt that this small diamond-shaped groove was very familiar, and she immediately thought of the diamond-shaped crystal Yan Moxi gave her, and the diamond-shaped crystals on the glazed crescent moon!

  Looking around, they are all people she can trust, except for that guy Huang Zhanwu...

Junli observed the groove and was naturally discovered by other people. Huang Zhanwu quickly came over, looked at the groove, and asked a little puzzled, "What is missing here is the key to open the stone door?" This is the first time Huang Zhanwu has encountered such a shape.

  Everyone, except Junli and Qin Muyan, had faint doubts on their faces.

   Just when Junli was thinking about how to push Huang Zhanwu and the others away and open the stone door with the glass crescent moon on his wrist, the glass crescent moon on his wrist had been wearing a scorching heat without warning.

  The temperature was so hot that it almost burned her skin. This kind of situation only happened when I first met the patriarch of the Yin clan.
