Hou Sai Lei groaned and swaggered towards the palace along with Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu .
Meanwhile, the young grey-armored guard cast a glance at Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu… He was about to say something . But, he was gently pulled by the other guard .
The three people walked into the palace, and the door automatically closed in a slow manner .
"Who are these two?" the young guard asked after the three people had entered the palace hall .
"They are important people who have come from the Sub-altar of the Rising Sun City . Minister Hou said that there is some crucial information that they want to report directly to the Altar Lord . To be precise… this matter is something that small people like us shouldn't take interest in," the other guard said .
The young guard nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief inwardly . He also glanced at the other guard with sincere gratitude .
He knew that he would've been reprimanded by Minister Hou in a terrible manner if he had spoken anything to make inquiries . After all, they had experienced this kind of situation multiple times .
The palace hall was quite wide and spacious . A few white stones were inlaid on both of the side walls . These stones were exuding faint brilliance which was illuminating the entire area .
A grey-robed middle-aged man was seated on the seat-of-honor at the moment; there was a feathered-fan in his hand .
The slender eyes and short beard of this man portrayed the image of a great scholar since they had been coupled with the feathered-fan in his hand . However, his flat nose and a pair of small eyes didn't look symmetrical to his facial features . In fact, they ruined his overall personality .
"Subordinate Hou Sai Lei is honored to see the Altar Lord!" Hou Sai Lei extended his greetings to the middle-aged man . Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu followed suit, and bowed to greet him .
"Minister Hou, you don't have to follow formal courtesy . I've been told that there is some crucial matter that you want to report to me . What is it? Tell me . I'm listening…" the middle-aged man raised his hand, and said . Simultaneously, his gaze hovered over Shi Mu for a moment . Then, his gaze rested on Zhong Xiu's body, and a gleam emerged in his eyes .
Zhong Xiu's face was covered with a veil, but her exquisite figure was enough to stir-up any man's hidden desires .
"Who are these two?" he asked, but his eyes didn't leave Zhong Xiu's body for even a second . In fact, his gaze was wandering up and down her body in an unscrupulous way . Meanwhile, his throat twitched as he swallowed saliva .
Such filthy behavior ticked off Zhong Xiu . But, she still didn't make any rash action .
"They belong to the same sect of the Rising Sun City . They had said that they want to report an important matter to the Altar Lord," Hou Sai Lei felt as if his scalp had become numb as he noticed the middle-aged man's wandering eyes . So, he hastily said .
The middle-aged man's facial expression changed, and revealed a look of surprise as he heard these words .
"So, they are fellow members of the Rising Sun City's Cult . You can speak right away if you have anything to say," He reluctantly retracted his gaze, and straightened his body .
"Senior, the Honorable Lord of the Rising Sun City's Altar has asked us to deliver this thing to you . Please have a look at it," Shi Mu took out a jade-like pure and delicate green jade box… It was almost the size of a palm . Many exquisite carvings were embossed on the surface of this small jade box . It was apparently not an ordinary thing… Shi Mu handed it over to Hou Sai Lei .
Hou Sai Lei stared at the small jade box in his hand, and a doubtful look flashed across his eyes . He then moved a few steps forward, and handed the jade box to the middle-aged man .
The middle-aged man received the jade box . Shi Mu's silhouette flashed and disappeared from his place in this split second .
Shi Mu appeared on the top of the middle-aged man's head the next moment . Then, the black blade in his hand turned into a black blade-shadow, and hacked down on the man's head .
The middle-aged man's complexion profoundly changed as he saw this scene . The fact was that Hou Sai Lei had happened to block his vision since he stood right in front of him . Therefore, he hadn't been able to catch sight of Shi Mu's movement . And, this meant that his response had been delayed by half-a-second .
However, he was a Moon-ranked magician at the end of the day . . . The feathered-fan in his hand gleamed with brilliant grey radiance . He was about to wave it .
However, the green jade box in his hand suddenly opened up, and several white chains flew out of it . Then, they wound around the middle-aged man's body like a bolt of lightning… It seemed as if they were being controlled by someone .
The middle-aged man was caught off guard, and his body got bundled up as if he were a rice dumpling .
Then, the white chain sunk into his body . Consequently, that feathered-fan fell down from his hand .
The middle-aged man's facial expression greatly changed . He was about to open his mouth, and give a loud shout . But then, the black blade appeared beside his neck, and the ice-cold blade's edge was stuck to his throat .
Shi Mu stood beside the middle-aged man . His fingers suddenly moved in a manner that made it seem as if they had changed into a few remnant shadows . Then, they were placed on a few spots on the middle-aged man's chest .
The layer of grey radiance on the middle-aged man dissipated the moment those fingers touched his chest . Also, his body collapsed back into his seat like a deflated ball .
Simultaneously, a burst of white light lit up on Zhong Xiu's body . Then, a white soundproof barrier spread from that light, and enveloped the entire palace .
"Who are you? You've dared to break into the Sub-altar of the Dark Moon Cult?! It is a very important place… The Cult won't let you slip by so easily! Hou Sai Lei, you traitor!" the middle-aged said .
A fit of uncontrollable tremor took over Hou Sai Lei's body as he heard these words . He didn't dare to look at him . He simply remained standing to one side .
However, the expression in Shi Mu's eyes turned cold . He bent his finger, and then flicked it… A black light darted out of his finger, and struck the left eye of the middle-aged man .
Then, a blood-red light suddenly flashed!
The fact was that the middle-aged man's left eye had been mangled by him . It looked nearly beyond recognition at the moment . The man exuded a shrill agonized scream since the sudden hit in his left eye had rendered him blind .
"Shut your mouth . This is a punishment for your eyeballs for staring at someone in that arbitrary manner a moment ago!" Shi Mu said .
The middle-aged man's body was shaken up, and he immediately closed his mouth . He then looked at Shi Mu with his remaining eye, and a petrified look peeped through it .
A complex look bubbled-up on Zhong Xiu's face as she witnessed this scene . The fact was that this incident had struck her with a sense of happiness and restlessness at the same time . However, she didn't speak anything .
Shi Mu grabbed that middle-aged man's chest, and single-handedly lifted him up .
"A woman surnamed Zhen has delivered a fleet of carriages with goods in this city today . Tell me where it is at this time . " Shi Mu asked in a lowered voice .
"In . . . in the secondary palace's warehouse," the middle-aged man started to cringe with fear as he spoke .
