C77 (1/2)

As Xiao Li's mind was finally calming down, Ling Qingyun and Gui Yan had already arrived at the secret location of the Earth Kun Main Altar under the little monkey's lead.

The little monkey spoke up. ”It looks like Yin Sun has calculated that we must make some moves tonight. Since the security guards are so lax, we have to be careful not to have any traps waiting for us.”

Gui Yan nodded his head and said, ”Indeed. As the pavilion's guard, the defense of the outer altar stationed in the north should not be so sparse. Otherwise, it would have been taken away long ago.”

The little monkey flew up to the mountain wall and fumbled around for a while before finding the hidden mechanism in the secret area and opened the door. Hong Tong had already told him the rough outline of the mechanism, because he knew that the little monkey would definitely think of a way to save Xiao Li.

The little monkey flew into the room and reminded him at the same time, ”Entering this place is the mechanism of this Earth Kun main altar. We have to be careful.”

Ling Qingyun and Ji Yan did not say anything, but both of them subconsciously circulated their inner strength to prevent any accidents from happening.

The three of them quickly made their way to the entrance of the hall. Little Monkey spoke, ”This is the place where Big Brother Xiao and Old Zhao had a fight and were rushed here by Lieutenant Shen Bu and the rest. In the end, Big Brother Xiao captured Lieutenant Shen Bu and forced him to lead the way to a tunnel at the top of the cave and then never came back.”

Ling Qingyun looked around, nodded and said, ”Do you know where the mechanism is?”

The little monkey pointed to the bed in the middle of the hall and said, ”It was said that Lieutenant Shen Bu pointed out that the mechanism was under the bed.”

Ling Qingyun did not speak any further. Instead, she walked straight towards the bed made of clouds.

However, the moment the three of them stepped into the center of the hall, the entire walls of the hall suddenly emitted a crackling sound. Little Monkey immediately said, ”Not good, it seems like a mechanism has been activated. Let's leave immediately!” Just as he turned around and was about to fly away, Lu Yan had already started to retreat.

Ling Qingyun waved his hand. ”No need. Since Yin Sun has activated the mechanism, we may not be able to leave even if we want. Besides, this is the only entrance we know of.” At the same time, he flew towards the bed made of clouds. Just as he was speaking, a stone wall fell from the entrance with a rumbling sound and sealed it.

Seeing this, the little monkey immediately flew up and followed. On the other side, Gui Yan also flew over after a slight hesitation.

At this moment, the mechanisms within the hall had already been activated, and the entire hall began to slowly sink down. Ling Qingyun didn't even look at it, and instead said to Little Monkey, ”Find the mechanism, and see if it can be activated.”

The little monkey nodded and bent down to find the mechanism under the bed of clouds. After a slight test, it said, ”It's useless!”

Ling Qingyun nodded. ”It looks like Yin Sun doesn't want us to go up there anymore.” There was a rare cold and stern tone in his words.

Little Monkey asked, ”Then what do we do?”

Ling Qingyun said, ”Wait!” After he finished speaking, he coldly looked at the gradually sinking ground.

The ground had sunk down for about ten feet before it came to a stop. With a ”shua” sound, another hole had appeared in the middle of the hall.

Ling Qingyun strode towards the entrance of the cave, followed silently by the little monkey. After a moment of hesitation, Jiu Yan also followed slowly.

Ling Qingyun did not hesitate to descend the stone stairs, and Little Monkey and Gui Yan quietly followed. The three of them entered the unknown underground world in a line. Not long after they entered, the cave entrance was sealed by another stone slab.

The stone steps in the cave were rather long, meandering downwards diagonally. Both sides were mountain walls, and although the people inside were a bit stuffy, the air was still relatively dry. There was no salty air from underground, indicating that there was a ventilation mechanism here. The three of them were all experienced people, so they naturally knew what was going on. They had basically confirmed that the other party knew what they were up to today.

After the three of them walked about a hundred feet, they came upon a turning point that turned to the left. Ling Qingyun was still not in a hurry as he followed them, but after turning a corner, he stopped. This caused Little Monkey and Gui Yan to be stunned for a moment. They immediately followed, wanting to see what was happening.

The two of them turned the corner and were shocked. They saw a dead end two Zhang away. There was no more road ahead.
