In the end, Lu Yuan chose to compromise with Cheng Yu. After all, he did not want to be imprisoned by Cheng Yu in such a magic treasure.
After returning to his residence, Lu Yuan tossed and turned. He was filled with regret. If he hadn't gone drinking with Elder Yun during the day, how could this have happened?
Now, not only was he forced to make a Heavenly Blood Oath with Cheng Yu, but he also had to cooperate with Cheng Yu to help him enter Sky Peak and even the back of Sky Peak.
If he really got Cheng Yu into the back of the mountain, Cheng Yu would definitely assassinate the Lord.
If the Lord investigated this matter, even if Cheng Yu did not reveal this matter, the Lord would probably find out sooner or later.
But now that I've made a Heavenly Blood Oath with that person, if I dare to betray him, I will be punished by the Heavenly Dao Lu Yuan thought.
With the Heavenly Blood Oath binding him, he did not dare to betray Cheng Yu at this time. Then, he would definitely not have a good ending.
Therefore, he seemed to have no other way out. He could only cooperate with Cheng Yu and help him complete his plan.
Although he knew that this was the only thing he could do, he was still very worried. After all, this matter was too dangerous.
I hope everything goes smoothly and I can protect myself! As Lu Yuan thought about it, it was already dawn.
All of Tian Qiong Peak's guards lived on the mountainside of Tian Qiong Peak. Because Tian Qiong Peak did not allow anyone to wander around freely, the guards and servants were arranged to live on the mountainside. Those who were not on duty did not even need to go up the mountain.
This way, the security on Sky Peak was even higher. If someone appeared on Sky Peak, they would easily be discovered and questioned by the patrolling guards.
Therefore, on Sky Peak, only deacons, guards, and servants would appear there. Also, those who carried the Tianqiong Peak's token would appear there as well if they had a mission.
Apart from a few presiding elders who did not need a token and Tianqiong Peak deacons and above who could freely ascend the mountain, the rest of the inner court, even the nurses and servants who were not on duty at Tianqiong Peak, were basically not allowed to ascend the mountain.
Therefore, even Lu Yuan could only wander around the mountainside and could not casually go up the mountain.
Lu Yuan went up the mountain with the others at daybreak.
However, even if they went up the mountain, they did not immediately start patrolling. First, they had to go to the Heaven's Protector Manor and listen to the arrangements of the deacons there to confirm if they were still on duty.
If the Deacon didn't arrange for them, then they could rest. Those who were arranged to be on patrol duty that day.
Therefore, before the deacon announced the patrol personnel, even if you were the captain of the guards, the guards who patrolled with you every day would be different.
You wouldn't even know who you would be patrolling with today, let alone what kind of bad things you would be up to.
From this, it could be seen how strict the security of Tianqiong Peak was. Usually, even a fly would not be able to easily fly into Tianqiong Peak.
"Sigh! Originally, I had assumed that becoming a bodyguard of Heaven's Firmament Peak would be a glorious thing. Unexpectedly, it would be so tiring. Every day, I feel as though I am playing riddles. I have been on duty for five consecutive days now. I wonder if I will get another assignment today, "said a cultivator who was with Lu Yuan with a helpless sigh.
Obviously, he felt very tired with the strict system of Tianqiong Peak.
It was precisely to prevent some people from harming Tianqiong Peak that it was so strict. This way, it would be very difficult for those who wanted to use these guards to harm Tianqiong Peak or His Lord.
Moreover, it was not only the guards of Tianqiong Peak who had to do this. It was the same for the servants of Tianqiong Peak. They had to report to the maidservant's residence every day and wait for arrangements and assignments.
"It's a little tiring, but we get more resources than those ordinary elders. At least, the other people in the inner court are very envious of us," said Lu Yuan.
Actually, back then, he could have chosen to become an ordinary elder like Elder Yun and the others. But in the end, he still chose to enter Tianqiong Peak and become a guard. This was because not everyone could become a guard if they wanted to. It had to be screened through strength.
And the main reason why he chose Tianqiong Peak was that he could get more resources here, even more than ordinary deacons like Elder Yun and the others.
In addition, those who chose Tianqiong Peak all thought that they could see the mysterious Lord here.
But in reality, they had been stationed here for so many years, but they could not see the Lord at all. They did not even know what he looked like or whether he was a man or a woman.
Moreover, they would never be able to guess where they would be arranged to patrol tomorrow.
Fortunately, they did have a lot of resources. After so many years of relying on these resources, almost all of them were very strong. This made their unwilling hearts feel much better.
"That's because they don't know how hard it is in Tianqiong Peak. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so envious of us!" Meng He said.
"That's not necessarily true. There are so many people in the inner court. Many people also know that working in Tianqiong Peak is a hard job, but don't they also desperately want to squeeze in? Isn't it just for our little resources?" Lu Yuan said.
"Actually, compared to this little bit of resources, I'm more interested in seeing what the Lord looks like," Meng He looked around and whispered to Lu Yuan.
"I'm afraid at least half of the people in the entire Tianqiong Peak want to know. However, the Lord is so mysterious and has always been in the Lord's residence. Moreover, I've seen him once and he was wearing a mask, so if you want to see him, I'm afraid you won't have the chance even after we ascend to the Celestial World! "Lu Yuan said.
"I've also heard that even if the Lord appears, he is indeed wearing a mask. I really don't understand why he has to be so mysterious. All of us are here to ensure his safety. What's wrong with letting us see him? "
"Perhaps it's also for safety reasons? Although the Lord is very strong, there will always be worries in the dark. If someone wants to harm him, no matter how strong he is, he might not be able to withstand it! "Lu Yuan said.
"That's true!"
"However, I heard a secret. If you really want to see the Lord, perhaps only there will you be able to see the real Lord!" Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then approached Meng He and said in a low voice.
"The real Lord? What do you mean? "Meng He asked doubtfully.
"I once heard you say that the masked Lord in the Lord's residence is actually a fake. The real Lord is in the back mountain, so if you want to see the Lord, you can try the back mountain!" Lu Yuan said.
