I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 442 Lure the snake out of its hole
Knowing that he couldn't beat Sean, Bai Ye quickly changed the subject, and his voice became unnaturally serious.

"Another battle broke out on the city wall. Most of my men have gone up there. Judging from the situation, it won't be long before the city is breached."

Sean nodded: "Normal, the tree people have a huge advantage in numbers."

Bai Ye sighed and said with a headache: "Father acted as if he didn't see it... Three battles broke out on the city wall, and he issued three orders to the statue site to urge completion... Sean, what ceremony is father going to perform?"

Now, the strong people who have some relevant knowledge already know that the emperor is preparing for some kind of ceremony. This is already an open secret.

Xiao En didn't say it clearly, but just blinked his eyes: "It's nothing more than praying for immortality..."

“But if the imperial capital is destroyed and the empire is gone, what good will it do even if he heals himself…” Bai Ye frowned.

Sean chuckled. "Reconstruction? Or maybe a god descending from heaven? Who knows... But, do me a favor."

Bai Ye nodded: "Go ahead."

"Trick your father out of the palace. I want to sneak to the top of the Imperial Mountain to take a look."

Bai Ye was shocked: "Are you crazy? That's the bedroom!"

Sean blinked his eyes and said, "Yes, except for the bedroom, I can come and go freely in the entire Imperial Mountain. To be honest, I am still unsure about your father, so I have to trick him out so that I can have a chance to sneak in."

Bai Ye looked at him for a moment, and finally stomped his feet hard in frustration.

"Give me half an hour, I'll go to the construction site and solve some problems that my second brother and Grand Duke Yuantie can't solve!"

Sean blew her a kiss with a smile: "mua~ love you."

"I don't love you!" Bai Ye walked to the door angrily, then stopped and turned around, "Sean, you promised to help me, I don't want an empire that is destroyed and ruined!"

"That's not my fault... OK, OK, OK, I'll do my best, I'll do my best."

……

Bai Ye’s efficiency was indeed high enough. In less than half an hour, news came after only twenty minutes.

When the statue of the founding father was about to be completed, a major problem that was difficult to resolve arose. After the report was reported to the palace, even the old emperor could not sit still and went to the construction site in person to check the situation.

"Genius, you know how to solve the problem without my teaching - come on, Xiaoci, I'll take you to a big meal." Sean smiled expectantly.

----

On the top of Huangshan Mountain, the bedroom of the ruler of a country is like a ferocious beast lurking in the clouds, ready to pounce and devour its prey at any time.

"So impressive..." Xiao En in the shadows exclaimed, then looked at the shiny buttons on his chest, where Zhu Zhu and Xiao Ci were hiding, "Xiao Ci, do you smell anything?"

Xiao Ci's voice came over: "There really is that smell... It becomes more and more obvious as I get closer. I can feel it, right inside, brother."

Sean looked towards the bedroom, the smile on his face disappearing into the shadows.

"I don't want my son to be a little Nan Liang... Wen Na Ke, Dad is here to see you~"

Gray fog concealment and fox magic were activated together. With Sean's current strength firmly established in the upper echelons of Crimson, there were very few people in this world who could detect his lurking.

He believed that if the old emperor were here, he might not be able to escape his perception, but he had already gone to see it with his own eyes.

The emperor was indeed anxious about the statue of the founding father, and he actually went to the construction site in person.

With the old emperor himself away, Sean's concerns were much lower.

Swimming freely in the shadows, Sean had already approached the bedroom. After observing left and right, Sean did not choose the window outside the bedroom. Instead, he snapped his fingers and walked in through the main door while the two silent guards shook their heads in a daze.

The interior of the emperor's bedroom is much smaller than it looks from the outside. It seems that the walls here have been specially thickened.

Moreover, there was not even a light in the bedroom of the ruler of this country, and it looked eerie anywhere you looked.

Even Sean's eyesight wasn't very good here, and he had to get closer to see many places clearly - this could only mean one thing, that the light source in the bedroom had been artificially blocked, and there must be a special device to absorb light here.

"Tsk, is electricity so expensive in the Empire?" Sean complained to himself out of habit and merged into the shadows.

The bedroom is only small compared to its appearance. When you actually walk in, the place is extremely large, and all kinds of shelves and screens are placed in abnormal ways in various directions, making it like a maze.

Sean moved closer to a shelf and took a look, revealing a look of disgust.

An ordinary decorative vase, not even an antique or a work of famous artist, could be bought for a few thousand lire in the imperial capital - although a few thousand lire was enough to buy a child from the slums, it was really too much for the royal family.

Your Majesty is really frugal...

Sean moved carefully in the shadows. He didn't make any sound and didn't touch anything. He just moved forward according to Xiao Ci's sense of smell.

Suddenly, the conversation between Xiao Ci and him in his mind paused, and a puzzled voice sounded: "Brother, we were getting closer, but suddenly we became farther away again."

Far away... Sean looked to the side, and suddenly he noticed that the vase he had just complained about appeared next to him again.

Coming back?

No, Xiao Ci's perception changed suddenly...

Sean's eyes grew slightly more serious. This place... was there some kind of spatial ability or high-end device that was continuously operating?

A scene similar to the ghost wall is not impossible to achieve in this world, but after fusing with Apat, Sean became one of the strongest illusion makers in the world. He has never seen an illusion that can trap him.

The fact that I had no perception of anything at all could only prove that it was the ability of the space system that was at work.

But apart from this, there were no changes to other defense measures... In other words, the space-related abilities here are permanent, and I was indeed not discovered...

After some thought, Sean asked Xiao Ci to continue leading the way.

When they were about to encounter the node of space conversion, Xiao Ci immediately called for a stop, Sean paused, and then dived directly into the shadow world.

One more step, and then Sean saw the vase again.

Is the Shadow World also affected?
There was a flash of surprise in Sean's eyes, and then he smiled lightly.

"Noah, when the opportunity arises, give me an etheric anchor point."

"Yes."

"Xiaoci, continue."

Once again arriving at the node, Sean closed his eyes as he stepped forward and entered the thinking hall.

When he opened his eyes again, he had passed the node and arrived at a new area.

"Sure enough, it is a spatial ability that uses the etheric layer to influence reality..."

Sean looked up and ahead, and behind the screen, a huge bed appeared in front of him.
