The other end of the teleportation array led to a secret underground room.

In the airtight room, the eternal lamp flickered dimly. If a mortal accidentally entered here, he would immediately suffocate and fall to the ground and die.

As a cultivator, Chen Guanshui naturally didn't have to worry about lack of oxygen. He just looked around carefully.

If A Jing was still here, the problem could be solved with just a scan, but now he has to check for traps himself - although this is what most cultivators do when exploring secret realms, it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugal after all, which often makes Chen Guanshui lament.

Before he could sigh for long, Shi Liuli appeared beside him.

"Why teleport directly here?" She asked as soon as she entered the secret room, "What if the teleportation array is tampered with? How do you know there is no problem with the teleportation array?"

"If the teleportation array has been tampered with," Chen Guanshui explained patiently, "then there is no need to flip each slab over in a random order."

Shi Liuli was choked at first, then quickly said:

"What if it's a double insurance? A disguise in front and a trap in the back..."

"If you want double insurance, you usually set a trap in front and then disguise it in the back." Chen Guanshui continued to explain to her as if he was teaching a child, "Visitors who can see through the disguise usually already know that the owner of this secret room has sinister intentions, so the trap will most likely not work. So you have to set the trap first to catch the enemy off guard."

"What if I am taking advantage of your psychology, and making the false appear real and the real appear false..." Shi Liuli was still being stubborn.

"That's just my bad luck." Chen Guanshui laughed, "After all, I can't understand the formation, so what can I do? I can only choose to take a gamble."

Shi Liuli: ...

After another failed attempt, she had lost her temper and just thought quietly.

Although Chen Guanshui's answer has no flaws, this is actually the biggest flaw - what is a gamble? When you explored other ruins before, did you rely on gambling when you encountered uncertain risks?

You can win the bet a hundred times or a thousand times, but if you lose once, you are gone!

Rather than asking "Is this person Luo Yan?", what Shi Liuli wants to find out more now is why he betrayed the sect.

Luo Yan probably took something from the Wanxiang Immortal. But what could make a Nascent Soul Elder with a promising future so brazenly betray the sect?

And it’s not just one, there are at least three... So is it the same reason for Kunlun and Shushan?

Shi Liuli silently looked at Chen Guanshui's back, thinking that maybe she was not deceived by him, but she had never seen through his deepest inner self.

Thinking of this, the bitterness in my heart spread and gradually turned into a pale and powerless sadness.

Chen Guanshui continued to search the secret room, thinking silently in his mind.

If you want to leave Shi Liuli here, it's actually quite simple. You just need to get ahead of her when she goes out and tamper with the teleportation array.

But the problem is that once he did something, Shi Liuli, who was trapped in the secret room, would probably immediately guess that he was Luo Yan.

Another question is: How long can she be trapped?

If Liuli is too bad at the formation and is trapped inside and unable to get out, that won’t work either; but if she can’t be trapped, then it seems to be useless and would be a confession, right?

Alas, why is the enemy my wife? It is not right to be heavy-handed, nor is it right to let her go. It is really hard to find the right balance!

When Chen Guanshui came to the depths of the secret room, he saw a skeleton lying in the corner.

Logically speaking, if a cultivator is at the Nascent Soul stage or above and is in such an environment isolated from the outside world, the body would not decay so badly. It seems that he used some means before death to accelerate the necrosis of his body.

Looking more carefully, I saw a line of words on the wall:

As an elder of the Yuting Sect, I am unable to save the sect from the brink of disaster, nor can I save my disciples from the dire straits. Now that my body has mutated, I do not want to be reduced to a monster, so I commit suicide by writing my last pen to warn future generations.

Tsk. Chen Guanshui sneered in his heart when he saw this line of text.

Saving the sect from the brink of disaster and rescuing the disciples from danger are things that are simply beyond our ability.

Your biggest problem is that you didn't notice and run away in time when the sect decided to go astray!

Alas. Shi Liuli also glanced over and sighed in his heart.

As a fellow sect elder, this man is so strong-willed!

Looking at someone who suddenly ran away without caring about the sect and his wife...it's obvious who is better.

Chen Guanshui thrust out the Su Ming sword, picked up the storage bag on the ground, held it in his hand and glanced at it with his spiritual sense, and couldn't help but be moved.

Among them, several magic weapons, flying swords, and scriptures were all covered in divine light and precious brilliance, and were not ordinary items.

There was another bamboo slip with large characters engraved on the back, which was the Purple Palace Thunder!

He quickly took out the bamboo slips and unfolded them, not caring that Shi Liuli was beside him, and just read them quickly.

This Purple Palace Thunder is an ancient record with many abstruse and difficult words that are hard to understand. However, with the fragments obtained from the Huoyuan Cave in Shushan, the difficulty of learning is not high when compared with each other.

At the end of the scripture, there are notes from the elder of Yuting Sect, which mention that this Purple Palace Thunder is specifically designed to destroy the true essence of Taoism and ruin people's cultivation. Even if an immortal is caught off guard and hit by this thunder, there is a risk of him falling.

The Big Hole Thunder can bring about emptiness and tranquility, and is very effective against low-level demons. However, if it encounters an immortal high-level demon, the Big Hole Thunder can only destroy the opponent's body but cannot completely kill it.

If the Purple Mansion Thunder is used at this time, the time for its resurrection can be greatly prolonged, so it is very effective in dealing with high-level demons.

Seeing this, Chen Guanshui understood that this Yuting Sect elder had used the Purple Mansion Thunder to commit suicide, causing his body, which was transforming into a demon, to completely die, so that he could rest here in peace instead of turning into a rotten mudra.

"We've got the stuff, let's go." He turned around and instructed Shi Liuli.

"Yeah." Shi Liuli agreed subconsciously at first, then suddenly reacted.

It had been so long since she heard the words “Let’s go” - in the past, when Luo Yan took her out to play, didn’t he always call her like this when it was time to return to the sect?

"You..." Shi Liuli said in a trembling voice, "You really are..."

"What did I really do?" Chen Guanshui asked puzzledly.

"Nothing." Shi Liuli suppressed her emotions, turned around and secretly wiped her tears.

Now...is not the time to expose him.

We need to find out why he betrayed us and also try to drive away the two women who came to us. There is no benefit in breaking up with him at this time.

Seeing that she did not continue to make things difficult for him, Chen Guanshui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was originally considering whether to trap her in this secret room, but now seeing that Lady Liuli was not making any trouble, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​taking the risk.

Well, I'll find a way when I get back.
