Chapter 2259 The Secret of Sacred’s Leader
“General Ghost Bone was too devious . He integrated your body into the prison’s structure . If I fully broke down the walls of the palace, I would have to destroy your body as well . Breaking the restrictions would kill you . ” Han Sen looked at Fox Queen seriously .

“Keep going . ” Fox Queen, hearing Han Sen say this, believed him even more .
If her powers truly were woven into the palace, then they would have to be very careful as they attempted to escape . A single wrong move could have devastating consequences for her .
“Pretty Big Sister, can we talk more… freely?” Han Sen asked, nodding to the cords that bound him .
Fox Queen huffed and released the power binding Han Sen . He was a free man again .
Little Star was still hanging upside down with wide eyes . It looked like the creature was going to cry .
“Um, if Little Star did something wrong, I will correct him . Please let him go, Pretty Big Sister,” Han Sen quickly said .
Fox Queen rolled her eyes at Han Sen, but she still complied and brought Little Star down .
When Little Star was free, he ran behind Han Sen and refused to reveal himself . He was obviously scared of Fox Queen .
Han Sen sighed and went on to say, “Breaking out of here without injuring you will be difficult . Even a deified elite might not be able to break the restrictions without bringing you an ounce of harm . ”

“Skip to the chase,” Fox Queen said in annoyance .
Han Sen smiled and said, “Fortunately, I am good with matters that require such skills . I’m confident that I can take you out of this place safely . But I am just a Duke, and I am weak . The entire process will be rather complicated, and it cannot be done in any short amount of time . ”
When Fox Queen remained silent, Han Sen coughed and said, “But if you are willing to cooperate with me, I believe the process can be sped up . ”
“What are you asking me to do?” Fox Queen gazed at Han Sen with absolute mistrust .
“You are a part of this prison, so you can control a smidgen of it, can’t you? We should start from the section you are able to control . We can use that weakness to pull you away from the core . If we succeed in separating you from the main structure, then even your power will be able to break the restrictions,” Han Sen said .
“Sure,” Fox Queen said .
“But there is one thing I need to ask you,” Han Sen added .
Fox Queen knew what he wanted, and so she told him directly, “If you can free me, I will help you get rid of those guys hounding you outside . ”
“Thank you so much, Sister . ” Han Sen looked happy, but he didn’t actually have much confidence in the plan .

Han Sen had asked Fox Queen to continue stretching the loosened section of their prison to stall her . It also allowed Han Sen to understand the palace on a deeper level .
Han Sen gave Fox Queen a steady supply of work to keep her occupied, but taking her out of the prison really wouldn’t be easy . He focused less on the efficacy of the plan, and more on keeping her distracted .
Now that Han Sen was temporarily safe, he thought about how he might escape . He was surrounded by terrifying enemies . If he was a King class elite, perhaps he could fight his way out . But for now, he could only hold on .
“The stone plate connects with the Sacred Leader’s relic . Perhaps it will come in useful when I seek to rescue Littleflower . I can’t let Edward get his hands on it . ” Han Sen made his mind up, deciding to go after the Sacred Leader’s relic no matter what it took .
But right now, he couldn’t get out . And he had no idea where the monument was supposed to be . It wouldn’t be easy to claim the Sacred Leader’s relic, that was for sure .
“Pretty Big Sister, why did Ghost Bone erect this palace here? Is there a reason why this place was chosen?” Han Sen was hoping to glean some information about where the holy monument might lay .
Fox Queen was General Ghost Bone’s wife, so there was a chance she knew a thing or two .
Fox Queen shrugged . “I know he made a big mistake, and Sacred Leader sent him here to explore . I don’t know anything else . ”
“That means you think there was some contention between them?” Han Sen could hear Fox Queen’s concern behind her words .

Fox Queen had been locked away for so long, and her boredom had grown to immense proportions . She seemed to like having someone to talk to, so she went on to say, “General Ghost Bone looked murderous, but he was incredibly loyal to Sacred Leader . He was practically his right-hand man . How could he make a mistake that would force him to come to this sort of place? Something else must have been happening behind the scenes, but General Ghost Bone was a quiet man . He never really told me what he was doing here . ”
Han Sen couldn’t tell if Fox Queen really was clueless or if she was just pretending to be . He thought for a moment, then said, “I found a place called Ghost Bone Town out in a desert . Is that where he lived?”
Fox Queen frowned . “After General Ghost Bone came to live here, he didn’t build homes anywhere else . Why would there be a Ghost Bone Town? Tell me what the place looked like . ”
Han Sen told her about the town he had discovered, but he didn’t say anything about how it was in disarray .
When Fox Queen heard Han Sen’s description, the expression on her face morphed through a variety of emotions . After a while, she said, “I see… I see…”
“What are you thinking?” Han Sen asked .
Fox Queen smiled . “If I am guessing things correctly, the town you found was actually a haven for the Sacred Leader . Ghost Bone Town was just an outpost . No wonder he was there . ”
“What is that place?” Han Sen was so happy . He was finally getting to the meat of these mysteries .
Fox Queen considered his question . “You told me that Sacred was destroyed a long time ago, so talking about it shouldn’t matter anymore . If the Sacred Leader was still around, I would not dare speak . ”
After a lengthy pause, she went on to say, “The Sacred Leader led the Sacred . He beat every being that came against him, and he almost became the king of the entire geno universe . But every creature has a lifespan, and that law even applied to someone as powerful as the Sacred Leader . No one is able to fight time, and death finds us all one day . That powerful man didn’t want to die like everyone else, though . And so, he sought to live forever . ”
“In the pursuit of immortality, Sacred Leader conducted many tests . I know there were at least a hundred of them . ” Fox Queen seemed to be struggling to remember . “I was Ghost Bone’s wife, and Ghost Bone was the Sacred Leader’s most trusted right hand . I learned a bit about all this from Ghost Bone, and although I was told little, I could tell that the leader was ambitious . He sent people to the disaster on Planet Yuanli, the strange thing in Buried Dragon Valley, the holy spirits in the sanctuaries, and the demi-god’s space . They were searching for the key to immortality all because of Sacred Leader . ”
“The holy spirits in the sanctuaries? What are those?” Han Sen’s heart almost leaped out of his chest, but he forced himself to look merely curious .
“I don’t know much of the details, as it’s only something I heard Ghost Bone say . In Sacred, there is a strange xenogeneic space they called the sanctuaries . The leader tried to research the undying spirits there,” Fox Queen said after some thought .
“Spirits?” Han Sen thought, his heart trembling .
