Chapter 1039 In the Hermes Palace (1)
The Hermes Palace was located on another mountain peak of the Nightfall Mountains.
Ji Yuan had actually found the place after exiting the Cathedral of the Songs by boldly and shamelessly asking one of the black robed maidens for directions.
Although many of the black robed maidens have not seen Ji Yuan but they were able to recognize him. It was because he was the only man and the only beautiful man in the Cathedral of the Songs so it was not difficult for the black robed maidens to know who he was.
All of them had heard that a beautiful man had been appointed the holy harpy on this day and his name was 4444.
As the only man in the Cathedral of the Songs, Ji Yuan did not even need to hide his identity or to sneak out; he just walked out of the Cathedral of the Songs in an open manner after all, he was the holy harp and the second ranking among the harpies.
The only person that could stop him was the Cardinal Harpy but he had banged her until she had blacked out.
That was why Ji Yuan had been so bold.
When asked why he was looking for the entrance or at the entrance of the Cathedral of the Songs, he lamely replied that he was trying to get himself familiarized with the surroundings.
It was lame because it was night and a second realm cultivator could not be able to see in the darkness.
But somehow, Ji Yuan was able to get through with this lame excuse.
Most of the black robed maidens were giggling when they had heard him but they did not stop them and this caused Ji Yuan to be a little bewildered.
One of the black robe maidens even giggled to him, "Alright, be careful and don't be seen by anyone else."
Ji Yuan: ???
This caused Ji Yuan to be greatly perplexed!
Even when he had reached the Hermes Palace, he was still feeling a little weird.
He did not know that many of the black robe maidens had assumed that he was just a lowly cultivator and therefore he had a biological need and therefore he was just trying to pee outside out of shyness.
After all, the Cathedral of the Songs were all maidens and there was no man for a long time.
But Ji Yuan had no time to ponder over this for now as he was fully focused on making his way to the Hermes Palace in the middle of the night.
He saw that there were many patrols of the male Ancient Old Ones that were always patrolling around and scanning the surroundings with their divine senses.
Even though this may be their own territories and were populated with numerous defensive arrays around but their security was not lax at all.
He spent like almost an hour outside the perimeter of the Hermes Palace and soon he was frowning to himself: Darn. The defensive arrays in this place are a little too formidable…
There was a sheepish look on his countenance.
In the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, it was quite impossible to stop Ji Yuan from bypassing the weak defensive arrays as he had plenty of experiences sneaking around.
But these defensive arrays were too formidable for him to bypass for the time being and too profound for him to truly understand.
He was the weakest MC in any cultivation stories in regards to his cultivation foundations and he was more like a fighter.
Xiang Li asked Ji Yuan: Big Brother, what are you doing and why aren't you barging in yet?
Ji Yuan: …
He frowned: Can't you see that I am trying to use my divine sense to find an opening to sneak in without triggering the alarm?
Xiang Li giggled: Why don't you say so? Arrays are divided into passive and active arrays. For passive arrays, I can help you to nullify it so you can sneak in."
Anyang chuckled: I can help as well.
Ji Yuan: …
He weakly said: Then why didn't the two of you say so earlier?
Anyang frowned: But you didn't say what you are trying to do. We thought that you are observing the watches of the patrols at the perimeter.
Ji Yuan said bitterly: While my eyes are looking at the timing of the watches, I am also using my divine sense to check the defensive arrays in this place.
Anyang said: My lord, you can enter the Hermes Palace now.
Ji Yuan frowned: So fast?!
Anyang giggled: I merely conceal your presence from the defensive arrays by creating a nullifying shielding for you. This nullifying shield blends your profound animus to be identical to the defensive arrays to make you invisible. But be warned, do not take out your divine swords or use your profound aura as this will invalidate the nullifying shielding.
With that Anyang had closed her eyes to focus on blending Ji Yuan's profound animus with the surrounding arrays.
Ji Yuan laughed: That's my Anyang! Thank you!
But Anyang could not reply now as she needed to focus completely now; it was because there were numerous arrays in this place and each one had a different profound signature so she needed to adjust Ji Yuan's profound animus constantly.
Xiang Li giggled: No need to thank me, Big Brother!
Ji Yuan: …
He asked weakly: I am thanking Anyang and not you. Xiang Li, did you even help me or not?
Xiang Li giggled: I help to suggest the idea for Anyang and you.
Ji Yuan: …
He weakly said: Thank you for this big help.
Ji Yuan soon ignored Xiang Li and he was inside the Hermes Palace now.
With his stealth and his sharp eyes, he flashed from point to point in the numerous buildings of the Hermes Palace.
The Hermes Palace was actually bigger than he had anticipated and it was 5 times bigger than the Cathedral of the Songs.
It was no wonder why Yue Wushuang had told him that their Cardinal Harpy was not in the top 3 most influential Cardinals.
There was actually nothing of interest in the Hermes Palace and he did not see any high level ancient old ones in the compounds and he was also a little lost.
But all of a sudden, he spotted a familiar figure within the courtyard of one of the buildings and it was Millenium Jun Feitian!
He was alone and without his usual escorts and he was talking quietly with an old man with pointed ears.
This immediately attracted Ji Yuan's attention and he was curious to know what they were talking about.
And why should Jun Feitian be here so late in the night?
He was not supposed to be member of the Cardinal Herald and was supposed to be a member of the Cardinal Tribune.
With that, he had flashed quietly in the shadows in their direction.
