When Ulita arrived at the square, she saw that the towering statue of God had collapsed on the square. The perfect face on the statue was plastered on the muddy water, allowing the dirty rainwater to wash it away. On the altar where the statue had stood, there was a huge hole.
She was stunned for a second before she rushed to the altar. She saw that the hole under the altar had been destroyed by someone. There were dents on the periphery of the hole made by swords. She quickly jumped into the hole. Below the hole was a secret chamber made of granite. The area of the secret chamber was not large, and there were no extra items on display. At this moment, it was empty.
The last trace of hope in her heart was instantly extinguished. She stood in the secret chamber blankly, as if she had lost her soul. Her eyes were dull.
After a long, long time.
She slowly came back to her senses. The corner of her mouth moved slightly. She turned around and silently crawled out of the secret chamber. At this time, she saw the rest of the counts and generals rushing over. However, among them, there were a few noble counts who came in carriages. They were also wearing raincoats, and there were servants holding umbrellas beside them for fear of being splashed by the rain.
When she saw the appearance of these people, a bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
One of the generals, who was completely soaked, hurriedly ran over. He opened the umbrella in his hand and covered Ulita's head. He said with concern, "Your Highness, are you alright? What did you mean when you said that the sacred remains had been stolen? Did the group of invaders come here?"
As he spoke, he glanced around. When he saw the hole under the altar, his expression changed slightly. He seemed to have thought of something.
At this time, the other generals and counts also gathered around.
"Your Highness, didn't the group of invaders leave?"
"They are still here?"
"My God, this is too dangerous. Don't they intend to leave?"
The earls looked around nervously, fearing that the invaders would suddenly appear. They had heard the inside story of the Pagel Mountains and knew how terrifying this group of invaders was. It was not the case of "complete victory and expulsion of the invaders" that had been spread by the commoners.
Facing the almost interrogative tone of the Earls, Ulita indifferently lowered her head. She looked extremely embarrassed at the moment. Her hair was messy and wet from the rain, draping over her cheeks. After a moment of silence, she suddenly thought of something. Her nose gently sniffed, and her expression immediately changed. She quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed into the curtain of rain.
Soon, he arrived at the building at the outer edge of the square. There was an alley here, and at the entrance of the alley, there was an old man lying face down. His hair was white, and he was lying face down on the ground. The rainwater under his body was dyed red, and his blood flowed along with the rain into the surrounding sewers.
Urita's face was pale, and she hurriedly went forward to pick him up, only to find that he had already stopped breathing. His wrinkled face was frighteningly pale, and there was a huge hole in his chest. His heart was missing, and there were a few claw marks on his throat. One of his arms was broken, and his abdomen was torn open, with his intestines hanging below his hipbone. He had died a horrible death, and it was not hard to imagine what kind of terrifying battle he had gone through.
"Uncle Mick!" Ulita hissed in grief. She hugged him and burst into tears.
Tears and rainwater mixed together and slid down her face. It was as if the heavens were pitying her.
However, she felt that the cold rain was so heartless. After the grief and indignation, only hatred was left in her heart.
She slowly returned to the square with the old man's body in her arms. A group of Generals and Earls came to greet her, looking at her with concern. Some of them noticed the old man in her arms, but they were puzzled.
"Your Highness, who is this man?"
"He is the intruder?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
Ulita remained silent. When she heard someone say that he was the intruder, her expression changed a little. She raised her head and expressionlessly said, "He is the person that my father trusted the most. He has been living here, pretending to be an ordinary lonely old man, and guarding the immortal's corpse. The last time the god's coffin was stolen by the intruder, it was just a smokescreen. The immortal's corpse was not inside, but this time, the immortal's corpse is really gone!"
Hearing her words, everyone looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Your Highness, what you said … is it true?" A General could not help but ask.
Ulita looked at him expressionlessly and said, "If we can't get the immortal's corpse back, you will see with your own eyes whether the immortal's corpse is lost or not after a while."
The General's expression changed, and he could not help but shiver.
"Your Highness, the immortal's corpse is so important. How can it be hidden in a place like the altar? Isn't, isn't this nonsense?!" A Earl in his fifties with white hair on his temples reprimanded in shock and anger.
Ulita raised her eyelids and glanced at him. She said, "This was arranged by my father. If you have any objections, you can wait for my father to come back and talk to him. Besides, even if it was arranged under the palace, wasn't it still robbed? Is the defense there weak? "
The Earl's expression changed slightly, and he was speechless.
"Your Highness, other than you, who else knows that the immortal's corpse is hidden here? How did these invaders know about it? "
"Yes, we have been here for so many years, but we did not know that the immortal's corpse was hidden here. How did these intruders find it?"
"There must be a traitor!"
Hearing their words, Ulita felt a sense of irritation in her heart. One could even say that she was manic. However, she had strong self-control. Her fingers slightly tightened, and she took a deep breath. She said coldly, "Other than me, my father, and Uncle Mick, no one else knows about this! After the fake coffin under the palace was robbed, I never came here. I was worried that they would follow me and track me here, but they still found this place. "
"How is this possible? Could it be that Mick leaked the secret?"
"He died in battle. How could he leak the secret?"
"Let's not talk about the strangeness of this matter for now. Right now, retrieving the immortal's corpse is our top priority. Since it has already been robbed, what's the point of thinking so much? If these intruders return to their territory, we will be completely finished."
"That's right. Let's think about how to retrieve the immortal's corpse first!"
Ulita acted as if she did not hear the crowd's discussion. Her gaze slowly shifted to a spot outside the plaza. If one looked closely, there was a faint smell of blood on this path. Although it was covered by the rain, and the smell was extremely faint, it should be the direction that the intruders left in.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Inform Dragon Mother, Rock Demon, and King Yi of the Hunter Family. Tell them about this and ask them to lead their pioneers to stop the invaders. I'll go ahead and see if I can follow them. I'll leave my scent along the way so that they can follow my scent."
"Your Highness, you want to go personally?"
"How can you do that? There are Dominator experts among them!"
"Your Highness, you should stay here and take charge of the situation!"
Several generals and Earls hurriedly advised.
