Zu An frowned; this was indeed a troublesome matter. He secretly used his inner energy to ask Yan Xuehen, "Sister Yan, can you sense where the exit is around here?"
Yan Xuehen shook her head slightly: "I can only sense that there is no obvious exit in this room, so it must be that some kind of mechanism is hidden."
"Then can you find that mechanism?" Zuan then asked.
“The materials in this room are special. The walls, floor, and ceiling are all mixed with soul-absorbing stones. At the same time, a special magic array has been set up. The soul is greatly affected here, and can only detect a very small distance. It will probably be difficult to find it in a short time.” Yan Xuehen felt the warmth from her palm, and her cheeks flushed. Fortunately, she was in the dark, so she was not afraid that the other party would see her. “And I can’t see the magic array patterns, so I can’t break the magic array here.”
"This Prince of Yan is truly extravagant, managing to set up such a magical place," Zu'an exclaimed, her hands still trembling.
Zhang Zitong said worriedly, "Won't we be trapped here to die? The Prince of Yan's mansion will discover the anomaly here sooner or later."
Zuan frowned as well, knowing that Daji's control over the guards outside was also limited to a certain time.
“There’s no other way,” Zaun sighed, raising one hand. “Let there be light!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the entire house.
A light appeared in the absolute darkness, and both women instinctively squinted.
However, Yan Xuehen reacted faster, quickly shaking off Zu An's hand, this time with a very firm attitude.
Zhang Zitong slowly opened her eyes and gradually adjusted to the light. Although it was not as bright as the sunlight during the day, everyone was an expert, and this light was enough to see the situation in the room.
"Eleventh Master, how did you do that!" Zhang Zitong was both surprised and delighted. She knew that she had tried to start a fire before, but every time all the light was absorbed by the special magic array around her. However, the beam of light in the other party's hand was completely unaffected by this special room.
"Forget about these principles, hurry up and find the mechanism," Zu'an shouted.
"Oh!" Zhang Zitong hurriedly looked around, which was her specialty.
After she left, Yan Xuehen's expression turned grim: "You lied to me!"
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +100 +100 +100...
"What did I lie to you about?" Zu'an groaned inwardly, his mind racing as he searched for a solution.
"You can clearly make light, but you insist on groping in the dark..." Yan Xuehen was too embarrassed to continue, but her eyes were already filled with frost.
Zuan suddenly cried out and collapsed to the side.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Xuehen was startled and instinctively helped him up.
"You know perfectly well that I have to pay a price for using this skill," Zaun said weakly.
Yan Xuehen's expression changed, realizing that he had used that mysterious power of words. She quickly channeled a stream of energy into his body: "Stop talking, calm your mind and strengthen your foundation."
Zuan hummed in agreement and nestled into her arms. The fabric was cool and soft, making it easy to linger.
Yan Xuehen was stunned for a moment, but thinking about the price the other party would have to pay for using this skill, she bit her lip and said nothing.
He could only keep telling himself that since he was wearing a mask, no one would know his identity.
Zhang Zitong was startled by Zu An's fainting and was about to go over when Yan Xuehen coldly said, "The biggest help you can give is to find the mechanism as soon as possible so that he can stop using this skill."
Zhang Zitong's heart skipped a beat, and she dared not delay any longer, so she hurriedly began searching everywhere.
At the same time, he secretly thought to himself, "It seems that the Eleventh Lord and this woman have an extraordinary relationship. He fainted in her arms the first thing he did."
Yan Xuehen squatted down and let Zu An's head rest on her lap. Looking at his closed eyes and furrowed brows, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
This guy always seems to have no sense of what's important; he actually used such a powerful incantation in this situation.
Zu'an was all smiles. Although Sister Yan said she didn't want it, she was still quite nice to him.
He had just used the key to create a beam of light, but to mitigate the backlash, he didn't even dare add the words "God said" before it.
This wasn't the first time he had used the summoning of light, and the side effects were still within a tolerable range.
Of course, one should still appear to be in pain in front of Yan Xuehen...
After a while, Zhang Zitong's joyful cry rang out: "Found it!"
After she hopped around several paving stones in a strange rhythm a few times, a clicking sound came from the side, and a hidden door in the wall opened, revealing a secret room behind it.
Zuan was somewhat dissatisfied that this woman had found the mechanism far too quickly, preventing him from even lying down a little longer.
At this moment, Yan Xuehen's concerned voice came: "The exit has been found, stop shining."
Zuan then "slowly" opened his eyes: "Ah, have you found it already?"
He then extinguished the light in his hand.
Yan Xuehen helped him up: "How are you feeling now?"
"I'm physically fine, just a little dizzy, and I feel a bit overdrawn in my mental energy," Zu An replied. He knew that Yan Xuehen was a Grandmaster, and she had just infused him with her own vital energy. He couldn't hide anything from her about his physical condition, so he could only look at his mental state, since mental energy was something that couldn't be verified.
As expected, Yan Xuehen frowned slightly, but still continued to help him walk into the inner room.
There were no special magic arrays or soul-absorbing stones in the room. Zhang Zitong quickly lit a torch. The room was quite simple. There was a stone platform in the center with a box on it. She exuded an aura of "I have something important inside".
