Chapter 182 - 173: Cave of Ten Thousand Gods; Faces of Ten Thousand Gods Hidden
Hua Cheng's breath was warm but his words made one's heart cold.
Hiding in the grand hall?
A thought flashed, and Xie Lian instantly hugged Hua Cheng back.
Of course he wasn't hugging him because he was afraid. If there really was someone hiding there and they haven't noticed, then that meant this was someone powerful. If that person should notice anything off, then they might be forced to make a move. Thus, if it was only Hua Cheng hugging him, being so intimate, then it would easily arouse suspicious. If both of them were embracing each other, then it might appear more normal. Xie Lian scanned their surroundings inconspicuously, and whispered, "Where do you think that person is?"
There was only one giant door to the grand hall, and that was where they entered. It was completely empty within the hall, nothing out of place, and not even a stage or box for hiding anyone. Other than them, there were only the temple attendants that were turned into stone.
The two whispered at the same time, "The shells."
The insides of those stone people were all hollow, which meant, they served as hiding spots. Humans couldn't hide there, but ghosts certainly could!
After confirming that fact, Xie Lian sensed something and looked up. When he saw a stone person about 6 meters behind Hua Cheng, his pupils shrank.
That seemed to have been a young man who had a higher status and was fairly calm. Since what these statues recorded were the deaths of the WuYong people, most were hugging their heads wailing or curled into balls, and this was one of the very few who were standing. However, what made Xie Lian notice him wasn't his pose but his face.
Although the face was blurry, but he could still see on the face of that stone person, the left side was a crescent smile and the right side was a crying face!
Xie Lian blurted, "IT'S THAT ONE!" Then he pulled out his sword and struck as Hua Cheng called out, "Gege?"
