1468 Rat
“This is where those guards are?”
Chu Nan looked at the inconspicuous row of small houses in the distance and could not help but frown.
After Glurik agreed to cooperate, he brought the two of them to the corresponding other side of the Light of Esevy Planet and the Goddess’ Temple.
With the straight distance on the surface, it was more than 3,000 kilometers away from the Goddess’ Temple.
This was also what puzzled Chu Nan. These guards were clearly part of the core group in the Esevy Goddess Cult. Then, he could either put them further away to avoid being discovered and exposed, or they should be brought by Pope Lockmarton and used at any time. What was going on with leaving them in such a remote place?
“If I’m not wrong, those descendants of the royal family should still be locked in here,” Glurik replied.
“It’s still locked?” Chu Nan shook his head in disbelief, “According to the agreement between Pope Lockmarton and Prince Lekas, he should send these descendants of the royal family back in a few days. Aren’t you afraid that the Declan Empire will have a problem with locking them up now?”
“Oh? So there’s indeed such an agreement?” Glurik looked at Chu Nan with great interest, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
“You don’t have to know.” Chu Nan coldly rejected.
Glurik shrugged and did not mind Chu Nan’s attitude. He did not continue to ask and shook his head, “You’re wrong. Even if Pope Lockmarton and Prince Lekas reached an agreement, the Esevy Sect captured these princes and princesses back then to dig out something useful from them. Now that we’re about to hand them back, we definitely have to hurry up and dig more. If we can dig out something in the next few days, we’ll make a huge profit.”
“What can they do in a few days?” Chu Nan frowned, “Moreover, they’re even using forceful methods to force those descendants of the royal family at this moment. The Declan Empire will definitely not let it go after knowing. Isn’t the Esevy Sect looking for trouble?”
“Who told you they were going to use force?” Glurik had a strange smile on his face, “Have you forgotten? They injected something into my body.”
Chu Nan was slightly stunned as his gaze landed on Glurik’s outstretched arm.
Previously, Glurik had told him that the people of the Esevy Goddess Cult had been injecting the genetic virus into his body, but he had used his cultivation method to forcefully block it on the surface of his skin and he was not affected. Then, this method had clearly been used on Siennali and the others, causing them to like those terrifying ferocious beasts like pets.
Since the Esevy Goddess Cult had such a method, it was not impossible to use it on those descendants of the royal family.
“According to the information I know, it’s not the first time the Esevy Goddess Cult has studied the genetic virus. The modified species used on us have already been studied many times and are relatively gentle. If we use those more ruthless genetic viruses, there’s a chance to affect the genes of those princes and princesses and take the initiative to tell their secrets,” Glurik said.
“Since there’s such a good method, why didn’t they use it earlier?” Chu Nan asked with a frown.
“They don’t dare to do this.” It was not Glurik who replied, but Angie Prairie on the other side, “This genetic virus that can forcefully change the genetic characteristics of the human body in a short period of time and affect their thoughts is very harmful to the human body. It’s very difficult to completely recover. What the Esevy Goddess Cult wants to obtain from these descendants of the royal family is clearly the Exterminating Heart Technique, but if they destroy the situation of their bodies, it might cause the internal cultivation method they took the initiative to hand over to change. The Exterminating Heart Technique is the top cultivation method in the Milky Way. If there’s a slight change, there might be a huge change. Of course, they’re unwilling to have any mistakes.”
“Then, are they not planning to worry about the consequences of doing this now?” Chu Nan frowned even more, “Aren’t they worried that they’ll be discovered by the Declan Empire and find trouble with them?”
“The Esevy Goddess Cult is in the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance. If the Declan Empire wants to find trouble with them, they have to attack directly.” Glurik shook his head and said, “For a mere dozen or so princes and princesses, it’s impossible for the Declan Empire to do this. Moreover, they might not really discover it.”
Chu Nan thought for a moment and shook his head.
“Forget it, don’t worry about this for now. Angie Prairie, stay here with Glurik. I’ll go in and take a look.”
“Heh, there’s no need to specially leave someone to watch me. I won’t run. I’ve said it before. Since there’s such a good opportunity for you to give up on chasing me, I’ll definitely cooperate well.”
Chu Nan turned around and looked at Glurik expressionlessly.
However, Glurik put on a sincere expression and looked into Chu Nan’s eyes without retreating.
The two of them looked at each other for a while before Chu Nan sneered.
“Then let’s see.”
After saying that, he activated the Hidden Dragon Reconnaissance Technique and quietly touched the row of houses.
That row of houses looked ordinary on the surface. It was only a row of ordinary wooden huts. Not to mention that it was very difficult to be discovered by outsiders, even if they were discovered, it would not attract special attention. Moreover, the appearance of the wooden hut was a little tattered and looked like it had been abandoned for many years, let alone having anyone approach.
However, Chu Nan touched it and investigated for a while before quickly discovering that there was a passageway hidden in the wooden house that led underground.
“Are these guys rats? Why do they always dig all kinds of holes?”
Chu Nan curled his lips and was not in a hurry to sneak in. Instead, he released his senses and enveloped a large area of space under the wooden house.
As expected, he could clearly sense that many people were moving back and forth underground. He could also sense several relatively powerful auras. Clearly, there were many martial artists with good strength inside.
After basically figuring out the situation underground, Chu Nan touched the outside of the wooden house and activated the high-level elemental power earth cultivation method. His entire body sank into the soil.
Before long, Chu Nan crawled out of the soil below and landed in a wide passageway.
There were people coming and going around. The entire environment looked not much different from the situation when he discovered those descendants of the royal family in the base in the mountains.
After observing his surroundings, Chu Nan used the same trick and quickly touched the entire underground base. He was certain that the situation inside was indeed as Glurik had said. The dozen or so descendants of the royal family who had been discovered were still locked inside. Everyone was still placed in the treatment capsule and could not move. It was far from what Chu Nan had thought and was properly arranged because of the agreement between Pope Lockmarton and Prince Lekas.
Similarly, he still did not find any traces of Pamela here.
This made Chu Nan feel a trace of anxiety.
This was the place where the Esevy Goddess Cult hid these descendants of the royal family again. If they had Pamela, they would definitely transfer her here and leave her here. However, there was no Pamela here now, so her whereabouts were very problematic.
Of course, he knew very well that it was meaningless to be anxious.
After taking a deep breath to suppress the anxiety in his heart, Chu Nan’s gaze swept past and quickly locked onto one of the guards.
