Chapter 97: Secret Passage (1/2)

”Elder Jing, you can rest assured that I will use my utmost ability to try and get the inheritance so please save those Stomach Killer for others,” Yang Wei clenched his hand into a fist and pounded on his chest to show that he was serious.

Elder Jing was dumbfounded about his behavior being over the top.

'Is my Stomach Killer really this deadly for Yang Wei to act like this?' Elder Jing pondered inwardly before dashing ahead to the Pagoda.

Yang Wei didn't lag behind as he followed closely behind Elder Jing before stopping in front of the tip of the Pagoda.

Although it was a tip, the sheer size of it was enough to call it a mansion instead of a tip.

The Pagoda may have been flipped over but it was massive enough for it to almost reach the sky.

'Just how can anyone store this massive pagoda?' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing walked around the area, almost like she was looking for something.

Yang Wei was confused since there was a door in front of them yet Elder Jing seemed to disregard it.

'There must be another entrance since Elder Jing doesn't seem too eager about entering inside through here.' Yang Wei walked away from the entrance and followed behind Elder Jing.

Elder Jing merely glanced at Yang Wei briefly before smiling.

”I'm glad you aren't being hasty in entering inside.” Elder Jing said softly and continued.

”Although that door is indeed an entrance to the Pagoda, it would bring you to a very difficult place. After all, that entrance would bring you to a difficult trial where trying to ascend further is full of danger. Meanwhile, the place I'm currently looking for would be a shortcut to bypass those trials.

”You mean that door we saw is a decoy and bait for greedy cultivators?” Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in surprise when the Pagoda was this sneaky.

Elder Jing nodded her head before curving her lips upward as she placed her hand in a seemingly small drawing in the Pagoda.

CLICK!

A clicking sound was heard when Elder Jing used some strength to push it down and a rumbling sound could be heard as the Pagoda slowly opened a small entrance for Elder Jing.

”This is the mechanism that I managed to find out as a reward for reaching the top floor even though I was unqualified for the technique.” Elder Jing smiled bitterly as she entered inside.

Yang Wei understood her disappointment but he didn't know how to console a woman's feelings so he merely kept quiet as he entered inside shortly after.

Once Yang Wei and Elder Jing entered, the secret entrance closed down with the mechanism vanishing, meaning no one else can follow Elder Jing's example to open this door.

Meanwhile, the place they've entered is so dark that Elder Jing has to use her flame to brighten up the environment.

However, the next moment, the flame was dissipated and Elder Jing narrowed her gaze at this phenomenon.

”Yang Wei, hold my hand tightly otherwise, we might get separated,” Elder Jing quickly said as she stretched her hand out.
