C2422 A Secret Room at a Stronghold
Jiang Ting could have raised his strength to a Level 8 God in three months time, but he didn't rush and used the remaining time to prepare another move.
There were a total of two methods. Even if something went wrong when he made an oath in the illusion world, he could still ensure that he would not be bound by the oath!
Nie Gao, however, didn't know about Jiang Ting's thoughts. He quietly looked through the window and said, "Actually, I was planning to meet you at the stronghold. However, you arrived a little earlier. I'm on patrol here."
After saying that, perhaps worried that Jiang Ting wouldn't understand, Nie Gao then explained, "Evil beings are good at hiding, and there aren't many who know about foreign objects. It's easier to listen to the rumors in the market and the strange things that suddenly happen, then detect the presence of evil beings or foreign objects ahead of time."
"Thank you for your guidance." Jiang Ting nodded.
Then, the two of them started talking while listening to what the market was saying … From Jiang Ting's point of view, it was completely useless.
After a long while.
Nie Gao stood up and said, "Looks like Yu Shui county is still as calm as ever. Let's go, I'll take you to the stronghold."
"Alright." Jiang Ting didn't say anything more. Although he wanted to ask why he came to Yu Shui County … However, if he managed to fool her with his oath, he would naturally find out.
If they couldn't make it through, then even more trouble would arise, and it didn't matter why they came to Yushui County.
After the two of them left the wine shop, they slowly walked on the streets like ordinary people. As their clothes were rather luxurious, no one dared to provoke them.
Soon, they reached a courtyard on the western side of the city. It didn't look luxurious, but it wasn't shabby either …. In short, it belonged to a rather common and popular courtyard.
"Dong, dong, dong …" Nie Gao began knocking on the door.
"Who is it …" A lazy voice rang out.
The corner of Jiang Ting's mouth twitched … There were quite a few auras inside.
When Nie Gao knocked on the door, he checked the area with his psychic power and found that there were more than 50 people in the courtyard. Most of the people were in the courtyard, while the rest were in the underground area.
The weakest should have the power of a second rank Deity, while the strongest should have the power of a fifth rank Deity!
It was merely a county, yet it had so many tyrannical auras … The waters of the Huangji Prison were very deep!
"Creak …" The gate of the garden opened, and a man with a lazy face appeared at the entrance.
After seeing Nie Gao, his expression instantly became serious. However, in an instant, he became lazy again. When he saw Jiang Ting, his eyes revealed a little surprise. Obviously, he didn't know about Jiang Ting's existence.
However, Nie Gao didn't explain and brought Jiang Ting inside.
"Creak …" The person who opened the door quietly closed it.
After entering the courtyard, the two then entered the main house. After entering the main house, the two then entered the main house.
Underground, there was another world.
Jiang Ting could clearly feel that there was a spatial array here, it expanded the size of the space by dozens of times, countless rooms and secret tunnels were operating, and there were many people guarding the crossroads. It seemed like there were many guards, just like an underground palace!
Jiang Ting was surprised, "A stronghold of a county is actually so powerful?"
However, his mental state was very surprised. In the stronghold of the Stronghold, he did not find any place with such tight security and strength.
Nie Gao laughed, "You're wrong about that. This is the headquarters of the Cang Ping Manor's Royal Prison."
Jiang Ting revealed his surprise at the right time: "The headquarters of the Huang Clan Palace's Huangji Prison? How can it not be located in the Cang Ping Manor, but rather in a county city three thousand miles away? "
However, Nie Gao didn't explain, "You should have a lot of questions. If you answer them all, it would be too troublesome to talk about them. There are records about them in the study room. You'll know after you go in there and read through them."
Jiang Ting's expression did not change: "Alright."2
The two of them quickly reached the depths of the stronghold. The people in the stronghold seemed to have guessed something and started to gather towards the two of them.
After walking through many secret passages and crossroads, they arrived at a study.
It was indeed the study room. After opening the door, Jiang Ting saw countless bamboo scrolls, jade scrolls, and even books … In short, there were all kinds of carriers here.
Nie Gao turned his head and ordered, "You guys wait here."
"Only." The dozens of people that followed him shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!
Luckily, the underground palace seemed to have some sort of seal. Otherwise, if they all shouted at the same time, the county city outside would have probably been frightened.
They entered the study.
Nie Gao walked to the only chair in the study and moved the inkstone off of the desk. There, a square groove the size of a finger appeared.
Then, Nie Gao took out a golden, mini seal and placed it inside.
"Creak …" A bookshelf suddenly began to move, revealing a dark, colorless hole.
Jiang Ting's eyes flashed and revealed a hint of admiration: "Combining the restriction and mechanism is indeed a novel design. If you don't understand the situation, I'm afraid you don't know the way to do it."
Nie Gao chuckled, "It's just a small trick to keep it a secret."
The two of them entered the dark hole and arrived at another secret room … This secret chamber was rather indirect compared to the fancy and fancy ones in the study. There were many shelves here, but none of them were there. It was just an empty shelf.
In addition, there was a statue in the deepest corner of the chamber. The owner of the statue was a human, not a beast. That person had his hands behind his back as he raised his head to look at the sky at a 45 degree angle.
As for the statue … It was the Human Emperor's ten cubes!
Beneath the statue, there were three unburned incense sticks. They had a faint aroma of incense sticks!
When Nie Gao arrived, he took out three joss sticks from the side of the statue and pointed them at it, then respectfully bowed.
Jiang Ting pretended not to understand: "This is..."
"This is the statue of the Human Emperor!"
Pausing for a moment, Nie Gao stood up and left his seat, "It's your turn."
Hearing this, although Jiang Ting was unwilling, he didn't show any abnormality. He took out three incense sticks and lit them like how Nie Gao did, then bowed.
After the ceremony was over, Nie Gao drew closer and bowed again, "We've handed over the position of envoy. Your Majesty, we've offended you."
After speaking, Nie Gao approached the statue and reached behind the statue's back with his hands to feel it. He quickly took out a golden seal that was about the same size as the one he took out before.
After taking out the seal, Nie Gao immediately left the statue. He turned his head and said, "I'll swear to it right now. If I say something, I'll say it. I won't make the slightest mistake."
"Alright." Jiang Ting nodded, but his mood was strange... If ordinary people were to join Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, they shouldn't be this complicated. In fact, they even came to this obviously not simple secret room.
