After that, Gui Jiang stayed for a while and then left without saying anything of value.
Qing Jun continued his research while Shen Yanxiao darted out with her mind in chaos.
There were still three months before the devil army would rush out of the passage of the Underworld and reach the top of the Brilliance Continent. Now that the devil army was moving, Shen Yanxiao needed to speed up her pace and get accurate information before they completely left.
Shen Yanxiao believed that Satan planned to bring the entire devil army out of the underworld passage, which was definitely impossible to accomplish in just a few days. They would certainly be sent out in batches. In order to prevent being countered by other races, the twelve devil generals would be the vanguard troops stationed outside the underworld passage until all the devil troops gathered, forming the final date of the war.
During this period, Shen Yanxiao could find opportunities to sneak out and bring the information she founded back to Sun Never Sets.
Most importantly, Shen Yanxiao must obtain enough information within this period of time. Otherwise, her trip here would be in vain.
Qing Jun had been locked up in the laboratory. Now was the time for Shen Yanxiao to sneak around Guiwang City.
Before Gui Jiang could go far, Shen Yanxiao drank a bottle of grandmaster concealment potion and immediately slipped out of the courtyard.
The dark sky in the Underworld was her best cover. This grandmaster concealment potion could perfectly hide Shen Yanxiao’s aura, which she had verified with Xiu.
There was a little silence in the dusky Guiwang City. Shen Yanxiao saw that Gui Jiang was going away on a black demon beast. She immediately poured another bottle of grandmaster acceleration potion to catch up.
The little thief’s skills had been brought into full play at this moment. She was as fast as lightning, and her silent steps had not caught the attention of the devils in the street.
Following closely all the way, Shen Yanxiao kept up with the speed of Gui Jiang.
Before long, Gui Jiang stopped in front of the main palace of Guiwang City. He jumped off the demon beast’s back and the guards guarding the palace immediately knelt on one knee.
Seeing that Gui Jiang was about to enter the palace, Shen Yanxiao immediately followed.
The guards who had just gotten up did not notice that a ghostly figure had jumped into the palace from one side the moment they got up.
In the palace of Guiwang City, flames were flickering constantly. Aside from a group of guards patrolling the palace, the whole place was basically empty.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yanxiao lost sight of Gui Jiang.
But it didn’t matter. She had already entered the place. Here, she should be able to find the information she wanted to know.
Amid the dim light and depressing atmosphere, Shen Yanxiao was like a nimble black cat, combining herself with the darkness around. The devil soldiers on patrol did not notice Shen Yanxiao’s arrival at all. The palace of the Guiwang City was now wide open for Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao quickly scanned the first floor of the palace and found no valuable clues.
She didn’t feel the presence of Gui Jiang on the first floor. She thought that Gui Jiang would likely not remain here after returning.
Shen Yanxiao set her goal on other floors.
She needed to locate Gui Jiang. The place where Gui Jiang would be must be an important one, where she could find everything she wanted to know.
While searching, she must also avoid getting too close to him. Although the grandmaster concealment potion could completely hide her aura, she should still be extra careful. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of getting into danger, Shen Yanxiao did not want to take the risk at this time.
She still remembered the agreement between herself and Xiu..
