Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1165 - 1104: Infiltrating the Sanctuary

The Ghost Crown Prince and Barbarian Saint were conversing as they walked, but the distance was too great to hear what they were saying.

Huang Yi watched as they disappeared into the distance, then cautiously stepped out from his hiding spot and quickly made his way up the stairs into the grand hall.

The interior structure of the hall was very simple, just a spacious chamber with rows of candlesticks on both sides, candles flickering atop them, casting shifting light and shadows on the walls.

At the far end of the hall were several stone seats elevated high, facing Huang Yi, but they were empty.

Yet, those vacant stone seats were filled with an aura of solemnity, where the Half-Beastmen clan’s ancestors once sat, making significant decisions that changed the fate of their Race.

Huang Yi instinctively felt somewhat uneasy about this place, as if countless ancestral spirits of Half-Beastmen were watching him, the intruder. He nervously took out the Eye of the Void Gem from his storage ring.

The shape of the Eye of the Void Gem was a blue eye, its gaze deep and mysterious, as though it were alive, capable of seeing into the depths of one’s heart.

Huang Yi placed this eye on a candlestick, and in the flickering candlelight, its gaze became even clearer and more transparent. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In the next instant, the Eye of the Void blinked and then vanished into the air, as if it had never existed.

Huang Yi reached out to sweep across it, but he touched nothing, only air.

The Eye of the Void had completely merged into Nothingness, like Huang Yi’s Treasure-Sniffing Cat state with its Void Skill, disappearing entirely from the world, even more so than Absolute Invisibility, never to be touched by the outside.

From now on, it will automatically record everything that happens in the grand hall, like a covert camera, and everything that takes place within the hall will escape the notice of this eye hidden within the void.

"What are you doing?" Just then, a voice suddenly sounded behind Huang Yi!

Huang Yi was startled, but his strong psychological resilience kept him calm, so he didn’t show the guilty reaction of a thief.

He slowly turned his head in the direction of the sound, only to see Barbarian Saint’s robust figure walking in from the doorway, his eyes keenly fixed on him.

However, there was no hostility in those eyes, which seemed to be asking out of mere curiosity.

Huang Yi leaned on the crystal staff and slowly turned around, shaking his head with a sense of nostalgia, saying, "With the Great Elder gone, I have no mood for anything and unconsciously returned here, recalling the scenes of us discussing grand affairs here, truly nostalgic!"

After finishing, he sighed and smoothly changed the topic: "Where did you just go?"

"I just saw the Ghost Crown Prince off the mountain." Barbarian Saint said, his gaze dulling, "With the Great Elder dead, the entire clan has gone mad, many clan members even want to fight the God of Slaughter, isn’t that suicide? Only you and I have the strength for Revenge in the clan!"

Huang Yi nodded, saying, "Ghost Crown Prince! I encountered him before, he said he wanted to meet you to propose his revenge plan, do you know what the plan is?"

"A very aggressive plan! Although it’s not a direct duel with the God of Slaughter, it’s still very dangerous. I asked him to go back and think calmly again!" Barbarian Saint shook his head.

As he spoke, he had already walked up to Huang Yi, stopping and closely watching him, the Five Steps to Heaven strength radiating like a blazing sun just an inch away.

Huang Yi’s heart was pounding, his skin even broke out in goosebumps, but he maintained his calmness, keeping his gaze fixed on Barbarian Saint’s eyes.

They locked eyes for a second, yet it felt as long as a century.

Finally, Barbarian Saint extended his broad palm and patted Huang Yi’s shoulder, saying, "Don’t get lost in this pain, pull yourself together! The Great Elder’s funeral still needs you, Shamans, to arrange! After the funeral, we’ll take revenge on the Godslayer!"

Huang Yi nodded, said nothing, and with the crystal staff, steadily made his way toward the exit of the hall.

Behind him, Barbarian Saint’s Five Steps to Heaven aura continued to scorch his back, his gaze seemingly tangible, watching his departure.

Huang Yi felt a prickling sensation on his back, forcibly resisting the impulse to turn around, maintaining his previous pace to leave.

"Hold on!" Just as Huang Yi was about to step outside, Barbarian Saint’s voice suddenly sounded!

Huang Yi’s heart thudded, and he stopped, yet didn’t turn back.

A drop of cold sweat trickled from his forehead, hanging on his nose.

He couldn’t see Barbarian Saint behind him, but could feel his gaze like needles, pricking his back, causing a slight tingling spasm!

Huang Yi’s thumb pressed against the storage ring, ready to take out the Wrath of the Godslayer at any moment!

"When you step outside, walk along the central axis, don’t cross the line! Did you forget the rules set by our ancestors?" Barbarian Saint reprimanded from behind, "Walking along the central axis is to remind us to always remain fair and just, like a balanced scale, not favoring any side, only then can we lead the whole clan!"

Huang Yi looked down and indeed saw a central axis on the hall floor, extending straight out of the hall.

He hadn’t previously noticed this line, thinking it was just decorative floor patterns, not expecting such deep meaning contained within.

"Alas! With the Great Elder’s death, even you are losing your composure, mind wandering in everything you do, pull yourself together soon!" Barbarian Saint sighed longingly.

Huang Yi lowered his head, moved his steps, treading on that central axis line, and continued walking outside.

Only after leaving the hall did the prickling feeling on his back finally dissipate, finally isolating Barbarian Saint’s gaze.

At this moment, the gentle breeze blew, and his tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

His undergarments had long been soaked with sweat, cold sweat streaming down his forehead, as those steps out the door seemed to have exhausted all his energy.

Barbarian Saint’s formidable strength wasn’t something he could fend off presently. Coupled with being in the heart of the Half-Beast Holy Land, even the invisible aura of this land was enough to unsettle Huang Yi and subtly suppress his strength.

He quickened his pace, descending the mountain swiftly, almost escaping from there.

The Holy Mountain was enveloped by the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, making many skills unusable, including Teleportation Skill. To ascend or descend the mountain, one could only walk honestly.

Once down the mountain, Huang Yi found a concealed spot and immediately logged off, vanishing from the Virtual World.

But in that sanctuary above, the Eye of the Void remained open, constantly monitoring the deepest secrets of the Half-Beastmen clan.
