Huangfei counterattack system: I am being chased and favored by the devil king

Ye Qingxi looked up at the person who came, it was a middle-aged man dressed similarly to them.

"What's the matter?" Mo Yunze didn't know the purpose of this person, pulled Ye Qingxi behind and looked at him with cold eyes and said.

"Ahead is the imperial palace. It's late at night. What are you two doing in the imperial palace?" The middle-aged man didn't answer Mo Yunze's question, but asked them instead.

"Why? The palace is still your territory?"

"You two are joking, the palace is guarded by my priest's hall, now you two should go back at this point, this is to ensure the safety of our royal family in Xiling Kingdom." If Xi and the others refused to agree to leave, he would do it immediately.

"Are you from the Temple of Priests?" Ye Qingxi was attracted by the Temple of Priests in his words, and stared straight at him.

"Exactly."

"I see, let's go back now." Ye Qingxi said, holding Mo Yunze's hand, and returning the same way.

Watching the two leave, the middle-aged man turned around and saluted into the darkness around the corner: "My lord, I have persuaded them to leave."

"Keep an eye on it, we must never allow unknown people to approach the palace."

"Yes."

Ye Qingxi and Mo Yunze went back to the house, and as soon as they got back to the room, they entered the other side space together and chatted about what happened just now.

"There were still people in the darkness that we couldn't see just now." Mo Yunze spoke first.

"I feel it too, I think I'm also a member of the Priest Hall." Ye Qingxi nodded in agreement.

To put it bluntly, before she returned, Xiling Guoxi's family had already joined hands with Ye Jiangyuan to attack Ye Qingxi, all because the high priest of Xiling Kingdom said that she would become an obstacle to the development of Xiling Kingdom in the future.

Because of this sentence, many people who opposed her and tried to take her life along the way were from Xiling Kingdom.

Today, the people from the Temple of Priests stopped them from going to the palace, not to mention what secrets are hidden in the palace, what Ye Qingxi is most interested in now is the Palace of Priests.

Mo Yunze knew what she was thinking, so he raised his hand and rubbed her head: "When does Xiao Qingxi want to visit the priest's hall?"

"Let's go today." Ye Qingxi showed a sly smile, and began to plan in his heart.

I'm afraid that even the people in the priest's hall didn't expect that they just stopped Ye Qingxi and Mo Yunze from going to the palace, but they turned around and went to their priest's hall, right?

Ye Qingxi and Mo Yunze acted in the middle of the night, and there were probably not many people on the street at this time, which was just convenient for them to move.

Following the guidance on the map, the two quickly found the priest's hall, and climbed over the wall from the alley to enter.

It was late at night, and there were not many guards patrolling the priest's hall. As soon as the two entered a remote courtyard, they groped towards the surrounding buildings.

The building of the priest's hall is different from other buildings. Judging from its style and layout, it does not disgrace the name of the priest's hall at all. Just an altar in the center of the hall seems to be used for practice on important festivals.

After investigating all the way, Ye Qingxi didn't have any important guardians, only the altar in the center of the main hall attracted her attention. It is now midnight, and without the lighting, it would be a black light.

But the brilliance around the altar is indeed circulating. If Ye Qingxi hadn't investigated it carefully, one would suspect that it was actually caused by the use of natural materials and earth treasures.

But Ye Qingxi was even more puzzled because he couldn't find anything that could be used as lighting.

"All the brilliance comes from the base under the altar, which contains a powerful energy." Mo Yunze seemed to see something, and pointed to the direction under the altar.

Ye Qingxi looked in the direction he pointed, and found that the base of the altar was indeed brighter. The brilliance was like a flowing water seal layer in the base, continuously providing energy for the entire altar for lighting.

After writing down the general structure of the entire altar, Ye Qingxi and Mo Yunze left the priest's hall and went back.

In the next few days, Ye Qingxi basically lived a life of wandering outside to collect information during the day and probing around at night.

In the evening of that day, Ye Qingxi and Mo Yunze planned to go to the cell, and they headed straight for their destination after dinner.

Today's cell seems to be a little different from when they came that day. There are many new guards around, both the gate and the wall are heavily guarded, and the strength of the guards is not low.

With so many guards dispatched at once, Ye Qingxi had a premonition that the Xi family was planning something big in the cell.

Even though it was heavily guarded, Ye Qingxi still found a way to sneak into the courtyard, and went straight to the cell behind the courtyard with Mo Yunze.

As soon as she entered the courtyard and got close to the cell, Ye Qingxi could feel the smell of medicine in the air, mixed with various spirit herbs, which made it difficult for her to tell how many kinds of spirit herbs were in it for a short time.

"what--!!!"

Just as he was about to sneak into the cell, there was a sudden scream of pain, which was especially ear-piercing on such a peaceful night.

The two looked at each other, and entered the cell as soon as they moved, and quickly came to the place where they were locked up before by the cover of the wall.

The further you walked in, the darker the light became. Ye Qingxi walked with his back against the wall, trying to keep his footsteps light so as not to make any noise.

Slowly probing inward with her consciousness, she suddenly felt someone approaching not far away from her. Before she could react, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, imprisoning her with lightning speed.

Her mouth was covered by the man's hand, and one arm went around her shoulder to control her body, and her hands were tied behind her back so she couldn't move.

Ye Qingxi was startled, subconsciously wanted to struggle, but was afraid of startling the people inside.

At the moment when she was struggling, Mo Yunze's figure suddenly approached them, forcing the person who imprisoned her back, and at the same time put one arm around her waist and brought her into his arms.

The duel between the two happened in just a moment, without even a single sound. Ye Qingxi was shocked and looked at the person who had controlled her just now.

With the faint light, she could vaguely see that this person was a young man, about 22 years old.

He was dressed in a black night suit, tall and slender, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and sharp edges and corners. He looked at them with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Shangguan Wuxie expressed his shock to the stranger who suddenly broke in before him, that someone approached him quietly, and he didn't realize it until he was only a little away.

Now he saw that the two of them really wanted to do something to him, but he was afraid of disturbing the guards, and Ye Qingxi and the others thought the same way, so the two of them stood in a stalemate.

Going on like this is not an option. Seeing that his posture should have the same purpose as theirs, it is better to communicate well.Thinking about it this way, Ye Qingxi used his spiritual sense to transmit sound to him and said: "If we have the same purpose for this trip, it is better not to do anything, otherwise we will startle the snake, what do you think?"

Shangguan Wuxie couldn't help being stunned when he heard the voice in his head, but he quickly reacted, and replied through sound transmission with his spiritual sense: "That's exactly what I mean."
