I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1029

"They all once came to seek a child, and now they've returned to fulfill their vows." The young Taoist said with pride, "These women either had physical deficiencies or just bad luck, and were unable to conceive for a long time, enduring much scorn."

"Finally, under Lady Zhao Hua's guidance, their wishes were granted. It's a great blessing!"

"Is that so?"

Chen Mo's brow furrowed slightly.

The young Taoist led them to Xuanzhen, bowing as he said, "This real person here says he has a matter to discuss with you."

Xuanzhen looked up and, upon seeing Chen Mo, couldn't help but be momentarily dazed.

Though the man's face was blurry, it only took a glance to recognize him as the mysterious individual he had clashed with the previous night!

"Didn't we say three days? Why are you here now?" Xuanzhen looked towards Yu Zhe, who followed behind, frowning, "Who is he?"

"One of ours." Chen Mo murmured, "The Princess entered the city this morning, the location of the second batch has been exposed, and Tang Xingbang is dead! The situation is urgent, there's no time to waste, we must move the stock before dark!"

As he spoke, he subtly channeled his soul power, vibrating at a special frequency, constantly affecting the other's perception.

Whether due to the method's effect or not, Xuanzhen showed not the slightest doubt, and replied seriously, "I've also received news, which is why the ritual was started earlier—to settle this matter as soon as possible."

He handed the horsetail whisk to a nearby Taoist, and stood up, "Everything's ready, come with me."

Chen Mo gave Yu Zhe a look, signaling him to stay outside while he followed Xuanzhen through the back gate.

The pregnant women who had received blessings did not immediately leave, instead lining up neatly, heading towards the inner courtyard.

Their expressions were wooden, their movements stiff, resembling marionettes, showing no reaction to external stimuli.

"What's going on with these people?"

Chen Mo's sense of unease grew stronger.

The inner courtyard was heavily guarded, with Taoists wielding long swords patrolling everywhere.

Xuanzhen came to the rockery in the yard, pressed his hand on a stone, and twisted it left and right. With a rumbling sound, the mountain shifted aside, revealing a deep tunnel.

"Please enter." Xuanzhen gestured.

Without hesitation, Chen Mo walked in.

Xuanzhen followed closely, as the entrance slowly closed.

The inside was dimly lit, with narrow stone steps descending. Only the copper lamps on the walls offered enough light to barely make out the path ahead.

As the two descended the stairs, Xuanzhen spoke as if making small talk, "This place was built by the previous abbot. At that time, war was rampant on the Southern Border, and he foresaw that the flames of war would eventually reach Bailu City, so he prepared early."
