Ahead lay a broad open area.
Sure enough, there was an altar in the middle of it.
Ye Jinghong must have been brought here back then.
This must also have been where she saw Ying Gou seated upon the throne.
But there was no throne now, nor was there any Ying Gou.
"We can't go any farther. If we do, we'll definitely be discovered. Look, damn, that's far more than one squad of Ghost Soldiers. More Ghost Soldiers are still arriving over there. There'll probably be a large-scale sacrifice here soon."
As I spoke, I considered what we should do next.
"Who's there? Come out!" a voice shouted.
Damn it. Someone had spotted us.
Then I heard someone approaching.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the shadows. His voice reached my ears. "Leave this place now. It would be best if you went back the way you came." My heart skipped a beat. It was actually Ying Gou speaking.
I grabbed him. "What exactly is going on? Where is this place?"
But he ignored me and merely brushed my hand away. "This isn't the time to talk about that. Leave now."
As he spoke, he prepared to drive us away, as though our staying here would become a burden to him.
But since we had already come this far, I had no intention of leaving so easily.
I had to get to the bottom of this.
I stared at the Ying Gou before me, unable to determine whether he was the same one who had been with me.
"Are you really not leaving?" He seemed somewhat angry.
I nodded. "I'm really not leaving. I want to find out what's going on."
He snorted coldly. "Then do as you please. I only hope you won't regret it later."
