Chapter 743: Hiding One's Tracks

"No, I need to do something about this..." The elder Daoist muttered to himself.

He got up from the pumpon, pinched three incense sticks, and walked over to the statue of God of Heaven Destiny and carefully bowed three times before inserting the incense into the incense burner.

He approached slowly, placing both hands on the statue of God of Heaven Destiny before gently turning it.

As a "click-clack" sound of gears turning came, the statue of God of Heaven Destiny began to rotate, revealing a dark hole beneath it.

The elder Daoist didn't hesitate and jumped into the hole, disappearing instantly.

Di Yelei and the others left the Taoist temple and headed straight for the wharf.

"Although the journey to the wharf isn't long, we have to pass through a small town on the way. I'm afraid the enemy might set an ambush in the town waiting for us."*

"Why don't we just take a detour around the small town?"

Eunuch Xiao spoke up, a rare occurrence.
