Chapter 1012: Finding The Entrance
In just a short while, Jiang Xuecheng led a few trusted guards to change their clothes and left the God’s Palace together.
Jiang Xuecheng sat on a maglev car with a shabby appearance. The maglev car was extremely unremarkable, and it didn’t attract any attention when it passed through the downtown area.
Through the transmission of the electronic recording screen, Jiang Xuecheng followed the footsteps of the high priest and the others at a leisurely pace.
If they guessed correctly, the new location of the high priest’s laboratory was in this city!
Now that they thought about it, the high priest was really able to keep her composure!
Since they were in the same city, the high priest was actually able to hold back from gathering her own forces. This kind of scheming was truly hard to come by!
Back then, was the high priest afraid of alerting the enemy because Fiennes was still alive and the Siswell family had spies all over the place?
As for now…
Jiang Xuecheng was sitting on a bronze chair, deep in thought.
Was there something urgent that made the high priest so eager to gather her forces?
While Jiang Xuecheng was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the crackling sound of electricity coming from the electronic recording screen.
It was as if the high priest’s maglev car had turned and entered a manor. The screen suddenly turned black and nothing could be seen!
…
What was going on?!
Why couldn’t the scene be shown at all?!
Jiang Xuecheng’s sharp brows furrowed. He quickly turned his head to ask the attendant who was responsible for sending the message.
“Xiao Wei, what’s wrong? Is there a malfunction? Or have we been discovered by the high priest?”
The worst-case scenario was that the electronic chip embedded in Ming Ye’s body would be discovered.
Jiang Xuecheng was afraid that if they did not save Ming Ye in time, they would harm Ming Ye’s life!
Therefore, when he raised this question, Jiang Xuecheng’s breathing stopped slightly.
The attendant Xiao Wei shook his head.
“Your Highness, they should not have discovered us because the signal flow shown here has been blocked. I’m guessing…”
Xiao Wei seemed to have thought of something and suddenly paused, not saying a word.
Jiang Xuecheng was the most impatient with people who speak halfway and had a solemn expression. He almost immediately urged him to finish what he was sayin.
“What are you guessing? Just say it. You don’t have to worry about whether you guessed right or wrong.”
Xiao Wei clenched his teeth.
“I guessed that the manor that the high priest and the others just entered was their destination. After they entered for about five to six minutes, the signal stopped. That manor must be equipped with a signal-jamming device!”
So, it was not that the “little thing” on Ming Ye’s body had been discovered, but that the signal had been interfered with because of the high priest’s equipment?
No matter which answer it was, Jiang Xuecheng knew that he could not hesitate.
Although he was dressed lightly and disguised this time, all the guards present were elites and had the best weapons.
Sneaking in now was not without a chance of victory!
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes became more determined bit by bit. He made a prompt decision and quickly ordered the people next to him.
“In that case, let’s sneak into that manor now!”
A tall and thin youth next to Jiang Xuecheng was stunned and said to Jiang Xuecheng hesitantly.
“Your Highness, we don’t even know how many ambushes there are in that manor. Should we wait a little longer and let the backup team come over first?”
Since the high priest dared to enter the manor like this, he did not dare to take the risk!
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head at the tall and thin youth.
“No need. Now is the best time. If we go in first, we might be able to catch them off guard. At the same time, we can call the reinforcements over and be on standby.”
“If the reinforcements do not receive our orders for more than half an hour after we enter, they can go in immediately!”
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng had made up his mind, the tall and thin youth couldn’t make any further suggestions, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
“Alright!”
…
Soon, Jiang Xuecheng’s group arrived at the entrance of the manor.
Jiang Xuecheng was agile. He was the first to flip over and directly avoid the surveillance cameras. Then, he used his weapon to cut off the connection between the cameras and the manor.
Immediately after, the few guards who were accompanying him followed him in.
To Jiang Xuecheng’s surprise, although they saw the maglev carriage that the high priest and Ming Ye were riding in, there was no one in the carriage!
There wasn’t even a guard!
Jiang Xuecheng was suspicious. He keenly felt that something was wrong with this courtyard.
However, at this moment, they were already at the end of their rope. They had no choice but to attack!
Jiang Xuecheng believed that no matter how many people the high priest had, they should be able to hold on for half an hour. Even if they were at a disadvantage, the backup troops would be enough to turn the situation around.
Therefore, with such a bold attitude, Jiang Xuecheng brought his entourage and ransacked the entire courtyard!
However, there was still no one!
Where did the high priest and the rest of them go?!
Jiang Xuecheng secretly hated that the electronic transmission had been blocked. In such a critical few minutes, the high priest and the others had actually shaken them off!
The tall and thin young man who had been standing beside Jiang Xuecheng was also very surprised by this situation.
His expression turned cold as he respectfully asked Jiang Xuecheng.
“Your Highness, what do we do now?”
Because they had lost the traces of the high priest and the others, Jiang Xuecheng was currently in a state of confusion. How could he have the time to answer the other party’s questions?
Suddenly, Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze was attracted by a flowerbed rockery.
There was a rockery with strange rocks. Perhaps it was because it had rained the night before, but the path on the other side of the rockery was somewhat muddy. It was obvious that it had been stepped on.
Could it be that the high priest’s laboratory was 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 took the lead to enter the rockery.
As expected, in just a few steps, Jiang Xuecheng felt that a thick stone slab had been buried in the center of the rockery.
The feeling of stepping on it was very different.
“You guys lift up this stone slab!”
“Okay”
As Jiang Xuecheng gave the order, the stone slab was quickly moved to one side. Looking down from above, it revealed a long passage.
Moreover, there were wall lamps illuminating the surroundings, so it wasn’t dark at all.
The many guards immediately went into an uproar, as if they didn’t expect that there would be a world of difference here.
The corners of Jiang Xuecheng’s mouth curled into a smile. Then, he restrained his expression and opened his mouth to give orders to everyone.
“You all follow me down first. Xiao Wei, you stand guard above. If there are any unusual movements, contact the backup team outside!”
Among these people, Xiao Wei was the most valued person to Jiang Xuecheng. Moreover, Jiang Xuecheng knew that Xiao Wei’s parents were killed by the high priest, so it was impossible for him to defect!
…
The young man called Xiao Wei nodded solemnly at Jiang Xuecheng, and then watched the group of people jump into the tunnel.
Beside the rockery, only Xiao Wei was left. He looked nervous and anxiously waited for the situation to continue.
Your Highness, will you be all right?
