Fortunately, the Palace Master never had any interest in women. Otherwise, seeing how nervous the Palace Master was when he asked about the situation, he almost thought that the girl and the Palace Master had something going on...
Ran Linyu complained in his heart a thousand times, but he still replied honestly: "Yes."
However, when Ran Linyu was about to go in, he saw a green figure walk in before him. Watching Xiao Moyan's figure disappear into the darkness, Ran Linyu's mouth twitched. "Palace Master, you have changed. You were not like this before..."
As soon as he entered, Ran Linyu realized that something was wrong with this place, and hurriedly called out to Xiao Moyan who was walking in front of him, saying, "Palace Master, there is a barrier here that hides the aura and also suppresses spiritual energy. Let's observe it first before going in."
In response, Xiao Moyan simply said two words: "Follow."
Hearing this, Ran Linyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally shut up obediently. He was stupid. If even he could notice something was wrong here, how could the Palace Master not notice it?
So, Xiao Moyan and Ran Linyu walked along the entrance for a long time, and finally came to a slope. Going down the slope, they found many stone chambers. Each stone chamber was empty except for some torture instruments.
Xiao Moyan and Ran Linyu basically didn't encounter any guards along the way, and occasionally one or two were knocked down by Ran Linyu.
"Palace Master, we came in too easily, as if someone let us in on purpose." Ran Linyu looked at the seemingly endless passage in front of him, feeling vaguely uneasy, and his expression became solemn.
Xiao Moyan didn't say anything. He stood in the dim passage with the oil lamp on, closing his eyes slightly and sensing. After a while, Xiao Moyan frowned slightly, as if he sensed something.
Ran Linyu was wondering what was happening, but after a while, he saw Xiao Moyan's face suddenly darken, and he suddenly opened his eyes. His cold pupils were filled with coldness, and his body breath was frighteningly cold.
A powerful force pressed down on his head, and Ran Linyu felt a chill on his back, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to his knees.
It’s not that Ran Linyu is timid. In the face of absolute power, the weak can only bow their heads.
The Palace Master had never been so angry before. Ran Linyu's face changed slightly. Could that girl... be dead?
However, Ji Xingzhi, who Ran Linyu thought was dead, was still tied to the rack. He was covered in blood and scars, his face was as pale as snow, and he looked very miserable.
Ji Xingzhi was awakened by the cold. She was wearing thin clothes, had been whipped, and was tied to a rack and unable to move. The stone chamber was so cold that she couldn't help but shiver.
When she moved her hands and feet, her flesh felt like it was being torn apart and stung. Even the slightest movement caused cold sweat to break out on Ji Xingzhi's forehead. However... she tightened her grip slightly, and was slightly startled by the cold touch... Bai Qingman had actually placed a knife in her hand...
Ji Xingzhi really didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment...
Shaking his head secretly, Ji Xingzhi turned the knife in his hand and sawed the rope tied around his wrist a few times. When the rope broke, Ji Xingzhi failed to put the knife away in time and accidentally cut his palm. Bright red blood dripped from his fingertips to the ground.
Glancing at the wound on his hand, Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly, untied the ropes on his hands and feet, and quietly walked towards the door of the stone chamber while enduring the pain in his body.
