She wanted to touch it, but Jiang Yifan held her. “Don’t touch it. This is a kind of sorcery. If anyone touches the cloth, the cloth will turn into a little bird to report.”
Xia Muqing nodded in understanding. No wonder no one was guarding this place. So these things were here.
The few of them moved increasingly cautiously, careful not to touch the cloth.
A tall city gate appeared in front of them. It was about five meters tall. The entire wall was made of various huge rocks. This project was indeed not something that could be easily completed.
Was the power of the shamans really that strong?
Xia Muqing led the crowd and carefully hid behind a huge tree outside the city wall. They could vaguely see the people moving around inside.
There was only one entrance outside the city wall. There were two women dressed in strange clothes guarding the entrance. They were checking the people who came and went.
The strangest thing was that the people entering and exiting were all women.
Xia Muqing was feeling puzzled when an excited cry sounded. “Look, it’s a man!”
Her voice made all the women standing at the city gate look over.
A man was tied to an open carriage, and a woman followed behind. There were many silver accessories hanging on their bodies, and these accessories were very similar to the ones she had found at the black eagle’s home.
Xia Muqing looked at Radiant Sun. Radiant Sun was also staring at that woman and it said angrily, “It’s her. She was the one who attacked the phoenix clan and took my friends away that day.”
With that, it was about to rush and settle the score with that woman.
Xia Muqing quickly pulled it back. In this situation, charging forward was equivalent to courting death.
Their commotion attracted the attention of the people at the city gate, and they all looked in their direction.
Xia Muqing led the way and hid in the forest so that they wouldn’t see her.
Before they could heave a sigh of relief, the woman pulling the carriage approached.
The footsteps approached. If she walked another hundred meters, she would be able to spot them. Xia Muqing and the rest stood nervously on the spot, not daring to move.
Feiyin slowly approached the forest, and her accessories made a tinkling sound as she walked.
She pushed aside the tree branch in front of her, revealing the hem of Xia Muqing’s clothes.
“That man ran away!”
The sound made Feiyin look back. The man who was tied up earlier had broken free and escaped.
Feiyin swiftly chased after the man and missed the opportunity to spot Xia Muqing and the rest.
Xia Muqing heaved a sigh of relief. While everyone was chasing after that man, they snuck into the city quietly.
As soon as they entered, they saw a huge signboard that read “Goddess Clan”.
Jiang Yifan exclaimed, “So the Goddess Clan belonged to the shamans?”
He added worriedly, “Oh no, let’s hide.”
The few of them quickly found a hidden cave on the street and hid there.
Through the gap in the cave, they saw that the woman who had gone to chase the man had returned. The man who had escaped, was tied up and thrown to the ground again. Feiyin stepped on his back and said, “If you dare to run again, I’ll chop off your legs.”
The man’s expression was stoic. He showed no signs of fear facing such a threat and continued to struggle.
He looked up and happened to meet Xia Muqing’s eyes in the cave not far away.
Both of them were stunned.
“Palace Mistress, this man is quite good-looking.”
“Yeah, I haven’t seen such a man in a long time.”
The women kept using their eyes to size up the man, as if they were yearning to strip him of his clothes with their eyes.
The whip in Feiyin’s hand hit the ground heavily. “Don’t you all dare to covet him. He’s mine.”
The women present revealed looks of pity.
