Chapter 341.3. Dragon Emperor, Taotie, Body
The middle-aged man could naturally also hear the deep booms in the distance, and he glanced up at the sky from time to time as faint fear flowed from his eyes. He was a soul engineer, and that meant he was fundamentally a soul master as well, but this was the first time that he had ever heard something as frightening as that. Furthermore, he had no idea what was going on, and it was happening while there was something else on his mind. He glanced at his screen a lot more than before.
Right at that moment, shadows rose into the sky from another courtyard behind this one. An old and hardy voice said, “Li Chong, guard the courtyard. We’ll head to the royal palace to see what’s going on.”
Eight shadows surged into the air, and transformed into flowing light as they bolted toward the deep booms echoing across the horizon, and the royal palace beneath them.
Everyone looked on as those shadows disappeared beyond the horizon. Wang Dong’er, Wang Qiu’er, Ji Juchen, Jing Ziyan, and Xiao Xiao all glanced at Huo Yuhao with a little more admiration in their eyes.
They had waited for only a short while longer, but this had greatly reduced the dangers that they originally could have faced.
Huo Yuhao smiled, though he didn’t admit that his prediction had been correct. “We’re lucky. You can go, Qiu’er. The key is tied to Li Chong’s waist. Try to be as silent and discreet as possible. The room behind him and to his left is empty; take him in there.”
“Okay.” Wang Qiu’er acknowledged, and Huo Yuhao expanded his Imitation’s area of effect as she leapt gently into the courtyard.

Li Chong felt his heart skip a beat when he heard that old and hardy voice. He had a guilty conscience, and there was something else on his mind, so he was especially sensitive to external stimulus and what was happening in the outside world. The voice eventually said that they were heading to the royal palace to take a look, not that they had discovered something, and only then did Li Chong, who was also the manager, immediately relax. He even felt as if his entire body were going soft and weak.
