"That State Preceptor Kusak has been captured?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Kassanna nodded. "My father has always been very careful in cooperating with the king. He pretended not to find Nemoya, but in fact, he has been secretly investigating a way to destroy Nemoya. He didn't expect that he would still be discovered by Nemoya. Just yesterday, the king ordered soldiers to rush into our house, arrest everyone in our family, and put them in the death row. My father was also taken away, and I was the only one who managed to escape."
"Now that the palace is heavily guarded, it's impossible to go in and save my father. Now, I can only think of a way to go to the church in the City of God to ask for help, but the teleportation point is full of soldiers. I'm a wanted criminal, so I can't go in at all …" Kassanna said. "I don't know what to do now."
"The church won't care either." Red Moon said, "Milani has been in the City of God for two weeks, and the church didn't agree to help, so she asked us for help."
"Milani, is it the court mage Milani?" Kassanna asked.
"Well, yes." Hong Yue nodded.
"A few weeks ago, she was ordered to be arrested by the king. He said she was plotting treason. I knew there must be a problem, and it seems so. Nothing happened to her, but she went to the City of God to find the church," Kassanna said. "But I didn't expect the church to … Now, what should we do …"
"Let's just find that monster and kill it. Won't that be the end of it?" Li Huailin said.
"No," Kassanna said. "Nemoya's ability is mind devouring. It can control people and make them hallucinate. As long as the other person's mind is loose, it can control that person in the hallucination or directly suck their energy. It also has the ability to transform into a human that it controls. It must be lurking in the palace now, but we don't know who it has become, so there's no way to find it."
"Sigh … such a troublesome ability. Wouldn't we have to kill everyone in the palace to find out which one it is?" Li Huailin said.
The Summoning Jade Emperor rolled his eyes at Li Huailin and was too lazy to complain.
"Is there any way to tell?" Red Moon asked.
"This … is very difficult because he can pry into people's memories, so he can basically pretend to be the original person. Even people close to him can't recognize him, but …" Kassanna suddenly stopped talking.
"But what?" Red Moon asked.
"According to my father's previous investigation, there is actually something that can restrain Nememoya's ability," Kassanna said. "It's just that it's more dangerous to obtain that thing."
"Oh? What is that? "Red Moon asked.
"I heard my father talk about it. According to legend, the goddess Saint Di Luer has a treasure called the Eye of Truth. It has the ability to see through all falsehoods. As long as you get this treasure, you can definitely break Nemoya's disguise," said Kassanna.
"It sounds awesome. Where is this thing?" asked Li Huailin.
"There is a temple of the goddess Saint Di Luer on the west side of Varema City. My father suspects that the treasure is in the temple, but he was caught before he had time to look for it. I also want to go out and look for it, but now the city guards are guarding the city gate, and I can't go out," said Kassanna.
"In other words, we are now missing a mission item … First, we have to get this mission item called the Eye of Truth, then return to the palace, find the true body of Nemoya, and then destroy it. It's a little troublesome," said Li Huailin.
"Then let's go. I think this mission has a time limit. You see, State Preceptor Kusak will be beheaded tomorrow. I guess we have to get it before that," said the Jade Emperor.
"There are a lot of patrols in the city now. I am a wanted criminal, and you were just discovered by them. It is very difficult to get out of the city now," said Kassanna. "If we must go out, we must avoid the detection of the guards. I have a few engineering smoke bombs made by my father. They can make the guards lose sight of us at critical times."
"I understand. It is a stealth mission, and there are a few items that can help us escape after being discovered." Li Huailin nodded. "How many do you have?"
"I just used one to save you, and now there are only three left," replied Kassanna.
"Anyway, let's give it a try first," said the Jade Emperor.
"Mmm." The others nodded.
They poked their heads out of the alley. Sure enough, the patrols were a little more strict now. Not only did the number of city guards increase, but the checks were also more detailed. If they encountered a few people walking together, the city guards would go up to see if they were the people they were looking for.
"I am more familiar with this place. Let me lead the way," said Kassanna.
The few of them naturally had no objections. It was their first time here, and they did not know the way at all.
Seeing the gap between the patrol team's departure, Kassanna calculated the timing and directly rushed across the street. She ran into the alley on the other side and then waved to the people behind her.
Li Huailin and the others immediately followed. Because the timing was more accurate, they were also very fast, and they did not seem to be discovered.
"Follow me a little closer." Kassanna said as she rushed to the other end of the alley, then poked her head out to observe the situation.
Sure enough, the difficulty was getting higher and higher. There were more patrols at the entrance of the alley than before. Kassanna frowned, then turned her head and whispered, "I will attract their attention. Everyone, follow me."
After saying that, Kassanna threw a stone and made a "dong" sound. As expected, the patrol on this side was attracted by the sound.
"What's the situation over there? Let's go and take a look." The patrol captain waved his hand and signaled everyone to follow and walked toward the place where the sound came from.
"Now!" Kassanna immediately moved out, and Li Huailin and the others followed behind. They quickly ran into the opposite alley.
"They didn't notice, right?" Everyone entered the alley. Kassanna poked her head out and looked behind her. It seemed that no one had noticed them, so she nodded, "Fortunately, we are almost there. Everyone, be careful."
Fortunately, everyone's reaction was good. Although there were more patrols in the later part of the road, and it was getting more and more difficult, under Kassanna's lead, they were not discovered along the way. After about 30 minutes, they finally arrived at a shadowy place near the city gate.
"That is the west gate. If we go out, we can go directly to the temple," said Kassanna as she pointed to the city gate.
"There are a lot of guards," said Red Moon with a frown. Naturally, there were guards standing at the city gate. At the moment, there were at least two groups of guards standing below the city gate. They were currently interrogating people entering and exiting the city. They looked very serious. Everyone was carefully examined before they were let in or out. It didn't seem like they could get away with it.
"It seems that it is impossible to not be discovered," said the Summoning Jade Emperor.
"There are a lot of people at the gate now. Let's just walk over. If we are discovered by the city guards, they will throw a smoke bomb to create chaos and then rush out. What do you think?" said Li Huailin.
"Huh?" The Summoning Jade Emperor looked at Li Huailin strangely.
"What are you doing? You have a strange look on your face," asked Li Huailin.
"That's strange. Why are you suddenly so reliable? Why didn't I see you being so reliable when we were in the team before? I'm not used to you being like this," the Summoning Jade Emperor said strangely.
"What are you talking about? How can you complain? You are not used to it? Then wait, I will find a place for you to vomit," said Li Huailin.
"Only a ghost would complain! Please don't mess around. This is very good. Really, please keep it up, okay? "said the Summoning Jade Emperor immediately.
"I think Huailin's suggestion is good," said Red Moon.
"Of course, brother-in-law is the best," said Hongyan immediately after drinking water.
"That's it then." Kassanna nodded. "Let's go."
The six of them walked out of the alley and toward the city gate. They were not very fast, making people feel like they were just ordinary passers-by. Therefore, they did not immediately attract the attention of the city guards on the opposite side. However, as they got closer and closer to the city gate, the city guards on this side also noticed that this group of people did not seem to be ordinary. After taking a closer look, the person in the black robe walking at the front seemed to look a little like the person on the wanted notice …
"You guys … come over here." A city guard captain on this side waved at Li Huailin and the others.
"It's almost time. We can move," said Li Huailin when he saw that they were not far from the city gate.
"Do it!" Captain Red Moon shouted. Kassanna immediately threw a smoke bomb at the crowd that was still lining up to enter the city.
"What is this!" The group of people was still puzzled. Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound of an explosion, which frightened the people around in an instant.
"Wow, what is this, a bomb?" "Help!" A group of frightened civilians immediately became chaotic. At the same time, a large amount of smoke was emitted from the smoke bomb, which blocked everyone's sight. The scene instantly became chaotic.
"Enemy attack! Quickly close the city gate! "The city guard captain's shout came from the smoke.
"Charge!" Red Moon shouted, but before that, everyone had already rushed toward the city gate. The city gate was covered in smoke, and they could not see anything at all. People kept running out of the smoke. Li Huailin casually pushed away the people around him, then directly passed through the smoke and continued to move forward. When he ran to a place where there was no smoke, he found that his teammates behind him had also caught up. All six of them were there.
"Hahahaha, I was scared to death. What an exciting feeling. Sure enough, it's fun to follow brother-in-law." After running to the opposite side, Hongyan patted her chest and said while drinking water.
"They are catching up. Run quickly," said Kassanna as she rushed forward.
