"What are they after? Are they also after the fugitive?" That idea is not something Wei Jiayi wants to dwell further. Because the more he thinks about it, the more that he feels Gao Lan Mei is who they are looking for.
Wei Jiayi does not have any idea how it happened and especially if she is really the fugitive that they are looking for because breaking the law of life and death is next to impossible.
Right now he needs to know the truth as soon as possible and make necessary plans.
Just like what he did to this safety chambers that are also connected outside the s.h.i.+zi Empire boundaries. The magical circle is only set to be activated from within for security measures.
There are only a handful of people who know about it, and Wei Jiayi hopes to keep it that way.
Zhao Liwei did not speak further and just made sure to still keep his senses sharpened. There are no doors but just tunnels, towards unknown chambers, that may have a hidden enemy.
He intently looking at Wei Jiayi, who is walking towards one of the chambers after releasing a handful of white snakes.
"Where are we going?" He asked tightly. Zhao Liwei is only able to see the place because of his eyesight, that is relatively better in the dark, thankful because of his own beast.
Zhao Liwei is already surprised that the strange feeling he felt earlier was from his beast side, that had been dormant for a very long time.
"We are going inside s.h.i.+zi Empire." Wei Jiayi answered as he went in, Zhao Liwei following closely behind.
His steps are very quick but silent. Wei Jiayi still remembers right way because of the map, but it is still a challenge as there are no lights.
Each tunnel brings them to connected chambers. Wei Jiayi remembers that there is an area inside the magic circle that is directly under the s.h.i.+zi Royal Palace and he plans to go there directly.
Just like Zhao Liwei, he is also alert and now trying to sense if there are others or anyone else in all the pa.s.sage, close to him. To reach further, he needs to scatter his p.a.w.ns all over the place.
Wei Jiayi really wants to just teleport towards that place. Even though he is not showing it, he is already exhausted just to protect himself from the temporary pa.s.sage.
Add to the fact that as soon as they arrive at the Mortal Domain, he had been using his spiritual energy to teleport with another being more than twice. With this, he had already consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
Releasing a deep breath, Wei Jiayi, decided to take one more pill to replenish his spiritual energy. If he is in full strength, it is much better so that he can find Gao Lan Mei soon.
He also remembers the number of YinYings outside the s.h.i.+zi gates that are waiting for the attack. Once the barrier broke, everyone needs to fight, if they have not left yet for safety.
"Wei Jiayi don"t rush." Zhao Liwei reminded. For him, if the dragon is in a hurry, there is a possibility that they may miss something as they did not bother to open any light. They are just finding the way based on their beast instinct and heightened senses after all, which is understandable at this time.
Wei Jiayi did not respond, until he was able to smell something, making his movement faster. The smell is enticing to his whole being, always had been since he realized what she is to him.
He should already have taken notice from the first time they met, but no. He was only able to realize her importance probably when her blood was mixed to his.
If not as well for his beast side, he would have never known. Thankfully, he was able to sense her and he finally remembers how the dragons old custom for the mating hunt is being done.
