Chapter 1501: Advancing Swiftly (II)
Just as Li Hao was ready to set out once more.
The entrance to the Hall of Darkness.
Three exalted emperors were gathered here. One of them was the fifth rank Drouth, the other two were third ranks. There was another third rank and two second ranks that were yet to arrive.
Drouth had already waited two days. His brows were knitted together. Only two more had come over the past two days. Although it was difficult to get around in Demon Summit, it wasn’t a large place. It was actually very small to someone like an exalted emperor.
If it wasn’t for the convergence of energy that made it difficult to determine direction and prevented fast travel, the other three would’ve been here after a few short hops.
He took a look at the Hall of Darkness, then at dark puppets hovering in and out of sight in the surroundings.
“We can’t wait any longer!” he intoned. “More puppets have been gathering over the past two days. I’ve seen traces of the fourth rank puppet that attacked me before. We can’t stay here much longer! Since the other three haven’t joined us... we’ll head into the hall first. They should know that we went inside...”
The remaining two exalted emperors inclined their heads. Now was not the time to wait.
“Drouth King, why have so many dark puppets been lured out of the shadows?” asked one of them.
“It might have something to do with the Hall of Darkness,” Drouth said after a glance at the hall. “Over the past two days, I’ve sensed some agitation in the energy seeping out of the hall. This characteristic might be what is causing the dark puppets to be more fidgety.”
It was a bad development, but could also be used to their advantage.
Demon Summit had stood for countless years and no one had claimed the key treasure within yet. Perhaps it would be their chance this time.
