Jing Ke stared at the two prey below with a cold gaze.

In the field of vision, I saw that the two people were not walking in the same direction.

After leaving the courtyard, Zhang Yulong walked straight to the southern area of ​​the mansion.

That place seemed to be where he lived.

As for Zhang Qiyuan, he is still in the North District.

The direction he was walking was towards a small lake not far away.

As for the guards, they were searching for Lin Hao's whereabouts, interrogating every family member and servant, and did not follow Zhang Qiyuan.

"Could that be the place where the treasure is hidden?"

Seeing this, Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waited patiently for Zhang Qiyuan's next move.

This lake was obviously artificially mined and is surrounded by rugged rocks.

There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake, but it does not provide any tables or chairs for leisure and is completely empty.

Zhang Qiyuan stood by the lake, jumped up, and landed directly in the pavilion.

He glanced around with a gloomy look, and seeing no suspicious people, he stepped his right foot on the sixth brick on the left.

“Bang!”

There was only a deep sound.

The ground inside the pavilion suddenly split open, revealing the entrance to an underground passage.

Zhang Qiyuan stepped in.

After a while, he walked out.

There was no change in his expression, so it was clear that the treasure was still there.

Immediately, Zhang Qiyuan waved his hand.

As the powerful spiritual power surged, the entrance to the tunnel slowly closed.

His figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared at the lakeshore and left the area directly.

"Is it that simple?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Hao's heart sank slightly.

Although his strategy had been successful, it felt a little strange.

However, things have developed to this point and there is no turning back.

Now we can only continue searching along this clue.

If the treasure is really there, it means that his mission this time is completed.

At that time, just inform the Deacon Hall.

While thinking, Lin Hao was more cautious and did not order Jing Ke to go and investigate immediately.

While the Zhang family guards were busy searching, he crawled out of the ant hole.

Then he performed the 'Shadow Walking' technique and blended into the reflection of objects under the moonlight.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and the various shadows formed by the surrounding buildings provided him with the best concealment.

'Shadow's Tracks' was a dark martial art that he had acquired when he killed a top assassin in the chaotic territory. It had extremely strong stealth skills.

As long as the body is integrated into the reflection, it will be difficult to detect even with spiritual awareness.

In this way, Lin Hao used the reflections between various objects to quickly move forward along the route.

Whenever he sensed footsteps nearby, he would remain still in the shadows.

The whole process of crawling forward in this way can be said to be safe and sound.

After a while, Lin Hao had successfully arrived at his destination.

By the lake, a half-meter-high rock stretched out a slanted reflection in the moonlight.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out, and after a few flashes, it was standing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

This black shadow was undoubtedly Lin Hao.

Following the way Zhang Qiyuan opened the entrance before, he stepped on the sixth brick on the left.

In an instant, the entrance to the underground passage slowly opened.

What appeared before Lin Hao was a long slanted stone staircase leading directly to the underground.

Without any hesitation, Lin Hao moved and rushed straight in.

The invisible spiritual force spread out, almost invisible in the dim environment.

Soon, Lin Hao arrived at the secret room underground.

However, the scene before him made his pupils shrink slightly.

However, in the empty stone chamber, there were no large amounts of treasures as one had imagined.

On the ground, there were five skeletons lying.

Judging from his appearance, he had obviously been dead for some time. His tattered clothes revealed that he was a blue-robed deacon from the Deacon Hall.

Today in the Law Enforcement Hall, he heard from Old Mo that before this, five green-robed deacons had successively taken on the task, but all of them died in the line of duty.

The five skeletons in front of us undoubtedly correspond to the five deacons in green robes!

“We’ve fallen into a trap!”

As Lin Hao's mind changed, his eyes darkened and he quickly turned around and wanted to leave.

"I just realized it now, I'm afraid it's a little late."

But the next moment, a cold and deep laugh suddenly rang out.

Soon, Lin Hao saw that at the entrance of the stone stairs, a figure had been standing there.

This person is none other than the Zhang clan leader, Zhang Qiyuan!

Lin Hao was indifferent and speechless, staring at the other person calmly.

Just as he had guessed, this guy was indeed an old fox. He actually used this as bait to set a trap and wait for him to take the bait.

Fortunately, Lin Hao also secretly kept a trick up his sleeve.

"Boy, you are quite courageous."

Seeing that Lin Hao was still fearless at this moment, Zhang Qiyuan smiled grimly, "However, courage does not represent intelligence."

"It seems that the people in the Deacon Hall are all a bunch of impatient and brainless guys. After five consecutive times, there are still people who take the bait."

As he spoke, a powerful spiritual power emanated from his body and instantly locked onto Lin Hao.

That kind of aura is even inferior to that of the Dark Palace Sect's guardian elder 'Wu Wei'.

But its strength is estimated to have reached the powerful level of the fifth level of the Holy Domain!

In such a closed underground secret room, it is no wonder that all the green-robed deacons who fell into the trap before died.

As he calmed down, Lin Hao looked around.

Although there was nothing in the empty secret room except the five corpses, he still noticed a thought-provoking detail.

That is, at the right corner of the wall, there are a few unclear footprints on the ground.

Judging from its size, it is almost the same as Zhang Qiyuan's.

In other words, the guy who went into the basement and set the trap just now was just trying to be mysterious.

In fact, the treasure is still hidden here!

Could it be that there is some secret compartment or mechanism in this basement?

"The things have been destroyed. If you come again, you will only commit suicide."

Zhang Qiyuan noticed Lin Hao's gaze and snorted coldly, as if he was hiding something.

"Yeah?"

Lin Hao smiled coldly and said calmly: "If I guess correctly, Zhang Yulong is just your tool."

"The real mastermind behind stealing Fengling Sect's resources is actually you."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan's eyes darkened slightly.

Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face seemed to indicate his agreement.

"Kid, sometimes knowing too much can make you die faster."

The moment the voice fell, Zhang Qiyuan moved suddenly.

"Bang!"

He slapped out with his right palm, and an extremely powerful spiritual power suddenly gathered wildly in his palm.

In an instant, the air seemed to be broken, and a sharp sonic boom was heard.

Lin Hao was about to step back, but suddenly found that his body could not move at all.

There seemed to be an obscure energy in the surrounding space, which directly imprisoned him in place.

The two sides are so close that there is no escape!
