They advanced cautiously, not too fast, aware that this might not be the only entrance. It wasn't impossible for the captors to take Yin Lu after they left the palace of the Crown Prince.
But why did they capture Yin Lu, a mad maidservant?
Could it be they sensed someone infiltrated the royal palace, sought out Yin Lu first, believing she carried some secret? Or perhaps captured Yin Lu to coerce them?
Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
The enemy had discovered them. The enemy was out in the open, and they in the shadow, so the enemy could only act through Yin Lu.
"Could we discreetly disrupt part of the Magic Array without alerting anyone?" Bai Ruozhu mouthed to Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui shook his head. He hadn't even located the Magic Array; even if spellcasting were possible, they needed a direction.
Suddenly, three people approached, and it was too late for Bai Ruozhu and the others to retreat.
