Chapter 1611: Heavenly Palace’s Imperial Guards
The Charm of Soul Pets
The Heavenly Palace was highly guarded and closed off. Thefts almost never happened. Adding on the fact that the Divine Maiden Building itself had a powerful restriction, no one should be able to get in.
Thus, there werenât even many people that could enter at all. Placing something like the God Dew in there definitely was safe.
Additionally, the entire heavenly palace knew that the God Dew was placed in the Human Motherâs room. Of the entire Heavenly Palace, not many dared to enter the Human Motherâs room. It was no different from giving up their lives directly.
Yet, the God Dew still disappeared!
Qin Jiâs face was very sullen. Only a few people could enter the Divine Maiden Building without him detecting it, yet none of them would take the God Dew away recklessly like this without warning.
Yet. what confused Qin Ji was, if one wasnât part of the inner circle of Heavenly Palace and knew everything about the Divine Maiden Building, how could they know the God Dew was in Human Motherâs room, and also know that Human Mother closed off all her senses when cultivating?
The Divine Maiden Building was locked with restrictions. Human Motherâs room also had restrictions. Unless they truly were unbeatable, they definitely couldnât steal the God Dew from the building with this many guards!
âCome, block all the exits of the Totem Palace, make sure everyone who ever exited is questioned!â Qin Ji commanded angrily.
Heavenly Palace had been robbed before; after all, the Heavenly palace is filled with some of the greatest treasures. However, something as important as the God Dew was often put in the most-watched places, where no one dared to steal it!
Qin Jiâs heart was filled with anger. Going into the Divine Maiden Building and stealing the God Dew was unforgivable!!
......
After Qin Jiâs commands, the white totem palace was covered in a barrier. This barrier covered the entire place. Other than a few special exits, no one in it could leave.
In the barrier, multiple imposing dragons flew through the skies. White armored imperial guards used their soul remembrance to scan the entire region in search of suspicious personnel.
On the white jade-like floor, teams of black-armored beasts quickly flew through, guarding the most important roads. They theoretically locked down the criminal in the smallest region possible.
Wearing noble dresses in the palace, many women saw the army start moving at such magnitudes and started looking curious.
âWhat happened?â A totem maiden with a bowtie behind her dress called a guard over.
âItâs Commander Qinâs command to lock down the Totem Palace.â The leader replied respectfully.
âIf itâs just some small theft, thereâs no reason to move everyone. Itâll bring greater losses to interrupt the daily activities of the palace,â The mature totem maiden said.
âCommander Qin looked very angry, it probably isnât a normal item.....â The imperial guard leader said.
âWhere is Qin Ji?â The totem maiden asked.
âIn the goddess pavilion.â
The totem maiden nodded and brought a group of female disciples towards there.
âWhat was stolen?â A sixteen-year-old totem maiden asked curiously.
âCan it be a seventh rank immortal rank spirit crystal?â
âEvery time something happens, there are always some crazy rumors. Sometimes people die and rumors say something was stolen. When things are stolen, rumors say the palace was tidying its ranks....â An older totem maiden said.
âQin Ji is in Divine Maiden Building, meaning something must have happened, and it definitely is big.â
The lady walking at the front glanced backward at the chittering female disciples.
They all quickly closed their mouths and started practicing their composure. However, from their blinking eyes, they were still greatly curious.
One couldnât blame them. The palaceâs life was often calm, like frozen lake water. Once some ripple happened, it brought everyoneâs attention.
At the Divine Maiden Building, the lady went towards the Heavenly Guard Tower.
On the guard tower, Qin Ji stood alone staring down upon the entire Totem Palace.
His starry sky dragon flew even higher up and became massive, seeming to encompass the entire palace with its body.
âQin Ji,â The lady flew up to Qin ji.
âLady He.â Qin Ji briefly gestured.
âWhat happened?â Lady He asked.
âThe God Dew was stolen.â Qin Ji said.
âGod Dew? The God Dew wasnât put in the Wheel Palace?â Lady He said.
âGoddess is training how to make diagrams.â Qin Ji said.
Lady He didnât live in the Divine Maiden Building, but as a more authoritative totem maiden, she knew that some totem maidens, when training to make diagrams, would go to Wheel Palace to grab the God Dew to help with recovery after training. This wasnât a big secret.
âIsnât it with Human Mother?â Lady He furrowed his brows.
âIt was there. When I entered there, the restriction of the room was opened before.....â Qin Ji said.
âHuman Mother didnât notice?â
âShe closed all her senses. Even if someone entered her room, as long as they didnât touch her curtain, she wouldnât notice. However, she probably sensed something, but just didnât wake up. She probably didnât want it to affect her training,â Qin Ji said.
âWhy could someone enter the building and even straight into her room?â Lady He questioned.
Qin Ji shook her head, âIt only means that this person was incredibly familiar with the pavilion. The person must know that when training, the God Dew would be in Human Motherâs room so Human Mother could nurture it. And not only does the person know her room restriction incantation, they also know that Human Mother cultivates with her senses shut off.â
Stealing the God Dew truly is ridiculous.
Putting aside Totem Palaceâs extremely well-guarded entrances, Divine Maiden Building was almost impossible to enter, with restrictions that can deny any expert below Undying rank.
Even if one luckily enters, the God Dew was right in Human Motherâs room.
No one didnât know how powerful Human Mother was. Stealing from her room, who dared to do that?
âYou think itâs someone in Divine Maiden Building?â Lady He said.
âEn, thatâs the current suspicion.â Qin Ji said.
âNo way, people in the building have no incentive to steal it. They, like the goddess, can all enjoy the nurturing.â Lady He said seriously.
The Divine Maiden Building only had a few people. Divine Maiden, Human Mother, Spirit Maiden, Dragon Maiden, and the rest are just servants.
The servants are all young girls without much soul remembrance. Though they knew every roomâs chant, they wouldnât dare touch God Dew even if they were given a hundred times more courage.
The maidens able to enter the Divine Maiden Building were all high ranking, but they wouldnât know the incantations......
âIt must be some servant and a high ranking maiden working together then.â Qin Ji said.
âHeng, why eliminate the possibility that the imperial guards took it?â Lady He humphed.
High ranking maidens meant her and her bunch. They were the people with the highest authority outside of the building. Only they would know Human Mother and Divine Maidenâs cultivation habits, and only they could enter the building freely.
âIf itâs my people, Iâll crush them to bits! Sorry to trouble you, but can you bring together all the maidens in the nearby region to interrogate them? Iâve already restricted the actions of all imperial guards in charge of this region and will question them.â Qin Ji said.
Lady He nodded and no longer debated with Qin Ji. After all, God Dew was lost. Once the divine maiden is finished training, if there isnât God Dew, they would definitely be blamed. Both the imperial guard and the maidens would be in trouble then. The task at hand was to find the God Dew.
......
In a side room of the courtyard, Chu Mu stood by the window and glanced out the window.
On the roofs and beside the walls, massive dragon figures flew back and forth. Hurried steps came from the white jade floor far away. It always felt as if they were trying to surround the room.
Within the room, the maiden that Yu Suo knocked out was still laying in bed in a translucent robe. She was sleeping very deeply, not knowing that there was a man in her room.
Chu Mu naturally didnât have the time to look at this woman. His eyes stared outside to look for a suitable chance to leave.
The Divine Maiden Building was only a few palaces away from them. Though the places were all connected, there were enough guards to look through each and every one, and eventually find them.
âLetâs leave the room first. We canât let them know thereâs a secret passageway here.â Yu Suoâs mental voice came. "If I could leave, you think I would stay here?â Chu Mu said.
The dragons in the sky were all rather high rank. If Chu Mu created any spatial ripples, they would definitely notice. Chu Mu was waiting for a blind spot.
âLeave the Divine Maiden Building as fast as possible and go to the Totem Palace. The members are rather complicated there, so even if you use dark and space energy, they wonât notice you. However, you still have to be careful of experts like Qin Ji. They definitely will detect the weak energy leakages of the God Dew.
âPray that I donât meet anyone too strong.â Chu Mu said.
âEn.â
â......â She had the gall to respond... Chu Mu wanted to burn her Flowerâs Stamen away right there and then.
