The strange and terrifying power emanating from the sacred mountain has always been terrifying to the Terrans, especially to those who have cultivated the witchcraft that the Terrans now rely on to become powerful.

Any wizard who dares to enter the Inner Ring will be suppressed by the formless and colorless but omnipresent power of the sacred mountain, and stimulate the witchcraft spiritual power in the body to eat themselves, and finally end up with a self-immolation death.

Therefore, for many years, none of the wizards of the Terran Celestial God Sect dared to set foot in the Inner Ring Land for half a step, which was also the reason why Ji Hou was extremely surprised when he heard that the Great Wizard had suddenly decided to go to the Sacred Mountain.

In fact, when it was decided to start the construction of this road to Mount Kinabalu, some people once came out to question it, because it was the high priests of the previous generation of Tenjin Sect who advocated the promotion of this plan in the past.

The Celestial God Sect is an organization where the elite of the human race gathers, and there are many masters of witchcraft cultivation in it, and the high priest is generally the most talented and powerful figure among them, but to build such a road, the wizards led by the high priest can't enter it at all, so what's the point of cultivating it?

This question was thought about in the hearts of the high-ranking people of the human race and many outstanding people of the noble family back then, and they had also told it to the high priest of the previous generation, but later the high priest said that there was a treasure of the gods on the sacred mountain, and at the same time there was also the will of the saint of the past, an eternal life, a powerful wealth, and finally suppressed all the objections and began this long construction.

Nearly a hundred years have passed, the difficulty of the construction of the road to heaven has surprised many people, and it has also caused a lot of losses, the human race has been building the road in that dangerous inner ring land, the progress has been slow, until recently, the contemporary high priest suddenly made up his mind, desperate, even if he used the lives of the desolate slaves to fill the road to the sacred mountain, which made the progress of the road quickly accelerated.

It was precisely because of such a long-standing but unresolved knot that Ji Hou could not guess that the high priest was actually going to risk himself, but the decision he heard with his own ears was so firm and clear that he had no way back.

The next morning, the sky was faintly bright, and the people of the holy city had not yet woken up, and the streets were still deserted. A group of elite soldiers quietly came to the front of the Great Pyramid, and in the procession there was an ordinary-looking carriage, which finally stopped in front of the Great Pyramid.

The old man, who had never stepped out of the Great Pyramid for fifty years, the High Priest who was revered by countless human races in the Holy City, walked out in this morning light.

When he left the steps of the Great Pyramid, there was obviously a pause and hesitation, and Ji Honglian, who was following him, had a worried look on her face, silently looking at the back of the high priest.

After a few moments, the high priest took a step and descended the stone steps, and under the gaze of the soldiers who were surrounded by awe, he entered the carriage.

Ji Hou stood aside, with a solemn and solemn expression, walked over and waved his hand, and the silent army turned around again and left in the other direction, leaving Ji Honglian alone in front of the majestic and magnificent pyramid, looking at the distant carriage in a daze.

For some reason, this scene always made her feel an inexplicable sadness, as if she was parting from life and death.

After all, the place they were going to was so dangerous.

This mysterious team quickly left the Holy City, and along the way, the various checkpoints and posts were unimpeded, which was naturally due to the season.

The high priest had not made a sound since he had entered the carriage, and if it had not been for the faint shadow of a seated figure hanging from the window, one might have thought that there was no one in the carriage at all.

In the middle of the road, Ji Hou rode a horse to follow the procession, and from time to time, he would sweep the carriage with a complicated and obscure gaze, looking at the figure reflected in the window, frowning slightly, as if he was a little puzzled.

After leaving the city, the speed of the march became a little faster, but not much faster, probably to take care of the old priest who was on the carriage, and not to let the carriage of the horses jolt, so the walk was relatively smooth.

It took them a long time to reach the edge of the Inner Ring, where the path to heaven began.

The team stopped here to prepare for the night. It was on this night that Ji Hou discussed with the High Priest for a long time, and after much consideration, he finally decided to bring fifty elite soldiers to escort the High Priest to Mount Kinabalu, and Ji Hou himself also went there.

The High Priest had objections to the fact that Ji Hou also came with the team, but Ji Hou was very resolute in saying that he would also follow in, first, he sincerely admired the High Priest, and the inner ring was full of dangers, and he must protect the safety of the High Priest; second, Ji Hou was actually a person who knew a lot about the construction process of the road to heaven, and most of the other soldiers, including the High Priest, knew nothing about it. If there is any sudden accident in the Inner Ring, Ji Hou will follow aside, and he may be able to deal with it.

These two reasons finally persuaded the high priest to finally nod and agree, but in the end, he still said with some regret: "It would be nice if that young man from Yin He was here." ”

Ji Hou smiled and nodded yes, but didn't say anything more.

Yin He was certainly the most suitable person for this situation, he had not only entered the Inner Ring Land, but also lived in it for three years, especially in the previous days, he also led a large number of people into it as the master of the road construction, until finally this mysterious road to heaven was repaired.

Judging from the actual situation of the Inner Ring Land alone, the entire Holy City and even the entire human race will not have a more suitable candidate than Yin He now.

It's just that Yin He has been lying unconscious in the Great Pyramid of the Holy City, in a certain ashram in the magnificent temple, where Ji Honglian accompanies him most of the time.

At this moment, Yin He was lying on the bed, his face was haggard and pale, but his expression was much more peaceful, and he didn't look too painful, as if the injuries he had suffered in the Inner Ring Land were gradually fading in these days of recuperation.

Ji Honglian gently pulled up the side of the quilt, covered Yin He's neck, covered it tighter, and then sighed softly and said, "Yin He, when will you wake up?"

Yin He was silent, his eyes still closed, lying motionless, as if he was deaf to all the sounds of the outside world.

Ji Honglian was silent, her eyes looked away in a daze, and after a while, she said softly: "My father and master, the two of them are about to enter the inner ring land, I heard that it is the most dangerous place in the world, I, I'm worried about them, ......."

"Hey, if only you were awake. Except for the two of them, the person I trust the most in this world is you, and you are the one who knows that place best in our holy city, if you take the two of them in, I will be relieved. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Honglian seemed to be a little sad, and there was a little lingering worry on her face, but after a while, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and her eyes turned to look at Yin He, but she seemed to be a little embarrassed for a while, shook her head and said to herself: "Hey, what am I talking nonsense." You're all like this now, you must be in great danger in the Inner Ring, how can I ask you to venture to that place for me again......"

She fell silent and stopped talking, but the worry on her face became heavier and heavier, and the sorrow between her brows seemed to be unsolvable.

"However, if you really encountered some great danger inside, then my father and master also followed the same path, will it be the same...... Will it be dangerous?"

The beautiful maiden sighed softly and worriedly, and after a while she folded her hands and looked at the heavens with a reverent face, and prayed in a low voice: "May the gods bless them, and all will go well, and everyone will come back safely." ”
