At that moment, Ghost Granny was completely different from her usual self. Those terrifyingly dark eyes were unusually bright, filled with an indescribable emotion, and a sudden aura radiated from her.
This aura was not directed at anyone else but aimed straight at the Water Ghost, almost overwhelming it with a forceful suppression!
Was she doubting the Water Ghost?
There was no denying that for Yin People, when the Spiritual Energy of the Taoist Sect surged, it was truly astonishing. Chen Yu, who had just come over to help me up, trembled uncontrollably under the influence of this Daoist Spiritual Energy.
The Water Ghost was under immense pressure, trembling all over like a sieve, its already pale face turning even whiter in that instant, almost transparent.
"Hehehe! You turn against me without mercy!"
Although the Water Ghost was being suppressed, it did not back down in terms of momentum. It raised its head defiantly and glared at Ghost Granny. "Why are you targeting me?"
"Can you explain what’s going on with those Yin Soldiers outside? You know that those Yin Soldiers never set foot here while alive; after death, they act solely on their obsessions from life and cannot escape the constraints of their former selves. They would never enter the Forbidden Palace without reason!"
Ghost Granny ignored the Water Ghost's glare and said calmly, "If you can explain it, then I might have acted rashly. If you can't explain it, then you deliberately led us into a trap. I will definitely deal with you on the spot! There are lives at stake here; I have to be cautious."
"I don't know!"
The Water Ghost shouted angrily. "I was just making assumptions based on usual practices. Do you think I wanted this sudden change? You should understand that Yin Soldiers follow the rules from their lives! Over the past nine thousand years, I have entered and exited the Forbidden Palace multiple times to check on the Predecessor King’s situation. There have never been any Yin Soldiers guarding this place; they remain stationed at their posts in the outer city as they did in life. As long as I present my credentials, they would let me through. Clearly, they are still acting according to their former habits; their appearance here is an abnormal situation!"
At this point, the Water Ghost seemed to realize something, its expression changing: "If they were allowed into the Forbidden Palace, it must mean they received orders. I think I know why they entered the Forbidden Palace—they were commanded by someone!"
"Who?"
Ghost Granny asked urgently. It was evident that those Yin Soldiers outside had put immense pressure on her.
"Prophet!"
The Water Ghost exhaled deeply, struggling under the overwhelming presence of Ghost Granny. He quickly continued, "These Yin Soldiers operate according to their habits from their past lives; for them, not entering the Forbidden Palace is a norm. However, they also have another habit: obedience! More accurately, it should be loyalty. They were soldiers in life, and for soldiers, obeying orders is paramount. They will follow their leader and heed their commands!
In this world, the only one who can lead these Yin Soldiers into the inner palace is the Prophet!
What I have shared with you is that the Prophet is the supreme military commander of Atlantis. All the armies outside the royal palace obeyed his orders. Their worship of him is fervent, even to the point of being blind. In fact, after the Prophet effortlessly defeated the Sima Saintess's rebels while sitting atop the palace walls, he became a god-like figure in the country. Not only did the common people revere him, but even the soldiers idolized him. The Predecessor King also greatly praised him during his lifetime, considering him the guardian of Atlantis and a messenger sent by Orion's Orian God, speaking of him with admiration!
Only the Prophet could allow those Yin Soldiers to break protocol and enter the inner Forbidden Palace because without the Predecessor King's approval, entering there would be considered a coup—a traitorous act that would lead to execution! Only the Prophet could persuade the soldiers to violate this rule and enter the inner Forbidden Palace. In fact, if he commanded them to assassinate the Predecessor King, there would likely still be soldiers willing to carry out that order!
Because all soldiers in the nation were trained by him personally.
This means that it is very likely that the Prophet has arrived; only he could mobilize these Yin Soldiers to enter the inner Forbidden Palace!"
The Prophet
Intercepting Daoist?
So, does that mean Intercepting Daoist has come here as well?
I was completely stunned; Ghost Granny regarded Intercepting Daoist as a deity!
And now there’s a Rakshasa ghost and a Voldemort.
There seems to be no way out!
"Don't get caught up in these dirty things; our chances of getting out alive are already zero."
Ghost Granny's expression was also grim, but she seemed to believe the water ghost's words and slowly retracted her imposing aura.
"Thud!"
The water ghost immediately plopped down on the ground, clearly terrified by Ghost Granny's overwhelming presence.
"I hate you people who always preach righteousness and morality at night."
The water ghost shot a dissatisfied glance at Ghost Granny and said, "By the way, here's a free piece of information: the Predecessor King is indeed about to awaken. Recently, there have been signs of his awakening. Now that the prophet has set up such a massive guard here, I suspect the countdown to the Predecessor King's awakening has already begun. That's why the prophet is taking such measures; it's all to protect the Predecessor King's safety!"
"What should we do?"
Zhengyang glanced at Ghost Granny and asked, "Aunt, we're in this bottomless pit! You're the highest in Daoist practice here, you've seen a lot and understand more. Just give us a word, and we'll follow your lead!"
"Let's wait and see how things unfold."
Ghost Granny sighed lightly, "Unless absolutely necessary, I really don't want to risk my life against these Yin Soldiers wielding epoch-making weapons. It's meaningless! So let's take a step back and wait for an opportunity!"
This approach seemed to be the safest option for now. If we rushed out recklessly, it would only make things worse!
With our minds made up, we began to retreat.
Although I was not entirely satisfied with this outcome and was eager to confront the Rakshasa ghost, I understood that Ghost Granny's decision was undoubtedly sound, so I fully supported her!
Reluctantly, I could only follow behind.
Unexpectedly, while I was preoccupied with the Rakshasa, he came right to me. With every few steps I took down the dark passage, I could hear the Rakshasa's voice coming from outside the stone door: "Since you've come, why not step out and have a seat? Do you really think I don't know you've been following me? With the power of the Heart of Atlantis in your grasp, do you think there’s anything in this ancient ruin that I’m unaware of? The moment you met that water ghost, I knew you had arrived!"
"Come out and die!"
At that moment, the Rakshasa suddenly burst into wild laughter. "And that little brat who injured my eye last time, this time you won't be coming back. I will make you endure endless torment before you finally breathe your last. Then, your young and peak body will serve as my gift."
"This is bad! We've been discovered!"
As soon as Ghost Granny heard the Rakshasa's voice, she immediately shouted, "Everyone, hurry! Rush around the corner to avoid being killed right away!"
No sooner had she spoken than she began to run frantically. Not far ahead of her was a bend in the dark passage; Ghost Granny nearly reached it in one breath. Bald Qiang and the others were quick as well, diving into the corner.
Only I was left behind, trailing at the back. No matter how fast I ran, it was futile because there were countless people ahead of me. Just as I was about to rush into the bend, I heard the Rakshasa's voice ring out again: "Get rid of them! They must not interfere with the master's plan!"
The moment those words left his mouth, I felt an inexplicable sense of danger enveloping me.
It was an instinct—a sixth sense honed through countless brushes with death.
As soon as the Rakshasa spoke, that feeling surged within me. In an instant, every hair on my body stood on end, and I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave...
