“I’m not sure about that.” Mo Han shook his head, “Perhaps, they have some special means to locate the Chaos Divine Artifact.”“No matter what, we cannot let them get the Chaos Divine Artifact!” Luo Chen said firmly, “Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
“That’s right.” Qing Shuang nodded in agreement, “We must stop them!”
“But, what should we do now?” Mo Han asked with a furrowed brow, “These ‘Holy Sect’ people are powerful and numerous; we’re no match for them.”
“Fighting head-on is definitely not an option.” Luo Chen pondered for a moment and said, “We must outsmart them.”
“Outsmart them?” Mo Han and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, both looking a bit puzzled.
“Yes, outsmart them.” A sly glint flickered in Luo Chen’s eyes, “Since they want to use the Chaos Divine Artifact to revive the ‘Holy Master’, we should start with the Chaos Divine Artifact and sabotage their plan!”
“You mean…” Qing Shuang seemed to understand Luo Chen’s idea.
“Exactly.” Luo Chen nodded, “Since the Chaos Divine Artifact is so important, perhaps we can move first, find the Chaos Divine Artifact, and either hide it or destroy it. That way, they can’t revive the ‘Holy Master’.
“That’s a good plan!” Mo Han’s eyes lit up, he said excitedly, “As long as we find the Chaos Divine Artifact, it’s like we have them by the throat. At that point, they’ll be at our mercy!”
“But, where exactly is the Chaos Divine Artifact in the Imperial Palace?” Qing Shuang posed the key question.
“This…” Luo Chen and Mo Han both fell silent. Although they knew the Chaos Divine Artifact was in the Imperial Palace, the palace was so vast that finding the artifact was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
“It seems we’ll have to split up.” Qing Shuang suddenly said.
“Split up?” Luo Chen and Mo Han were both surprised.
“That’s right.” Qing Shuang nodded, “The three of us each have our strengths; we should divide the work to improve efficiency.”
“How do you plan to divide the work?” Luo Chen asked.
“Mo Han and I will be responsible for finding the whereabouts of the Chaos Divine Artifact.” Qing Shuang said, “Mo Han is skilled in Mechanical Technology, and I am familiar with the layout of the palace. Together, we should be able to find some clues.”
“And what about you?” Mo Han looked at Luo Chen.
“Me?” Luo Chen was taken aback, then chuckled, “I’ll be responsible for… well, for covering you.”
“Covering?” Mo Han and Qing Shuang both felt a bit speechless. This guy, to put it nicely, was covering, but to put it bluntly, wasn’t he just loafing around?
“Don’t look at me like that.” Luo Chen shrugged, “I’m not strong, and if I go with you, I can’t help much. It’s better if I stay outside, keep an eye on things, and gather intelligence.”
“Alright.” Mo Han shook his head helplessly, “Then you stay outside and keep in touch.”
“No problem!” Luo Chen patted his chest to assure them.
“There’s no time to lose; let’s move now.” Qing Shuang said as she turned and headed deeper into the underground palace.
“Wait!” Mo Han suddenly called out to her.
“What’s wrong?” Qing Shuang turned and asked.
“You… are you very familiar with the Imperial Palace?” Mo Han hesitated for a moment but still asked the question in his heart. He always felt that Qing Shuang’s familiarity with the palace seemed to exceed ordinary knowledge.
“Yes.” Qing Shuang replied indifferently without giving much explanation.
“Have you… been to the Imperial Palace before?” Mo Han continued to ask.
“No.” Qing Shuang shook her head.
“Then how could you…” Mo Han wanted to ask more but was interrupted by Qing Shuang.
“This is not the time to talk about this.” Qing Shuang’s tone remained calm, but there was a fleeting hint of complex emotion in her eyes, “We should focus on finding the Chaos Divine Artifact.”
Without waiting for Mo Han’s response, she strode forward.
Mo Han watched Qing Shuang’s back, his brows furrowed, his heart full of doubt. But he knew it was not the time to delve into it, so he suppressed his curiosity and followed her.
Luo Chen watched them leave, chuckled, and muttered to himself, “Those two are so mysterious; they must be hiding something from me. But whatever, everyone has secrets. As long as they don’t screw me over.”
With that, he also turned and walked out of the underground palace.
The three of them split up and began their investigation.
Qing Shuang and Mo Han carefully searched the underground palace, trying to find any clues about the Chaos Divine Artifact.
While Luo Chen left the underground palace, wandering around the Imperial Palace, gathering information.
Time passed by the minute, and before they knew it, two hours had gone by.
Qing Shuang and Mo Han still found nothing. Other than the black-robed people, there was nothing else in the underground palace.
And Luo Chen had gathered some information, but it was all insignificant gossip that didn’t help their efforts.
Just when the three of them were at their wit’s end, Qing Shuang suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Mo Han asked.
“Here…” Qing Shuang pointed to an inconspicuous corner and said, “Something seems off here.”
“Off?” Mo Han approached, observing the area Qing Shuang pointed to closely but found nothing unusual.
“Is there something wrong here?” Mo Han asked.
“I don’t know.” Qing Shuang shook her head, “But I always feel like something might be hidden here.”
With that, she crouched down and began to examine the area carefully.
Seeing this, Mo Han crouched down as well, searching alongside Qing Shuang.
