Chapter 275 (2/2)

”…”

”Hree”

”Hey, XiaxiaCheck the groundMaybe the lock is still around”

More shuffling of feet

”I don't see anythingWhat about you, Lanlan?”

”Nope”

”So weird”

”I know, right? The lock is on the insideSo someone must've broken it from the inside”

”Why would anyone do that?” Xiaxia said, then paused”Do you think so to escape the place but they didn't have the key? That would explain why they broke the lock”

”I don't know… But I bet that brute earlier was responsible for this”

Well, you're daht wryly

”What are you even talking about, Lanlan? That doesn't even make sense!” Xiaxia hissed”The lock was broken by someone from the inside!”

”But I'm positive he ca peeked out froainLanlan was still standing at the doorwaycrap

”But still…” There was a pause”I think we should gonobody is allowed in this area”

Clearly, Xiaxia was the voice of reason here

”Yeah… Yeah, you're right”

The doors creaked againA click sounded a second later

Move,stepped out fro in the compound—some kind of shrine with two Buddha statues set up beside its entrance

The shrine's entrance was locked, and he couldn't detect the s incense at allBesides, there were cobwebs everywhere, so it was safe to assume that the shrine hadn't been in use for quite a while

Past the shrine, there was a cobble path lined with smaller Buddha statuesTall weeds peeked out from behind the statuesHe spotted several flower pots around the statues as wellThe pots looked old and were covered in cracksThe plants they once housed had long since wilted

Whatever reason this place was built for, horticulture definitely wasn't part of it

A smaller temple lay at the end of the cobble pathThe temple was enclosed by a metal fence; and he was fairly certain that beyond the fence lay the forest beside Xiyuan teuess, that forest probably led to the su stopped in front of the gate leading into the small teshen: Eryue!

Most of what he heard caht breezeHe had to focus harder to hear the tourists' chatter nohich means that this area was further away froround and circled the temple a few timesnobody was aroundIt was just him and those noisy crickets in this Godforsaken placeJust when he was about to lower hiht his eyeThere was a sate at the back of the teate opened into the forest

Li Yundong fleards the gate and landed in front of itSurprisingly, the gate was unlocked, and there were no talisate for a ate

No talis narrowed his eyesWhat if the talis formed Acalanatha's 5th Mudra with his handsCall hi any chances with thisHe was the only one who could save Su Chan right now

”Naatebhyah sarva mukhebhyah, sarvatha trat canda hnam hum trat ham mam…”

No colorful fla thelowered his hands back downOkaySo there really are no talisure out where the two…no, three, laone into the forest, but then the forest was so big

Li Yundong floated over the round sank down slightly when he landed

Hround…

FootprintsHe should start looking for footprints

He ap between his feet and the ground—no need to leave his own set of footprints for the other lamas to seeAfter that, he activated the Jindan's Aura at his fingertips, using the golden glow for light

Fivefor: three sets of footprints headed northwest

Gotcha…
