Bai Qianmo continued, "The color of the bead corresponds to the corresponding direction, which will break this mechanism. However, I'm not sure if the order is correct. If it's wrong, we might be trapped in this secret room forever."
Gu Jueye looked at Bai Qianmo with approval: "Don't worry, whether or not we can get out of here, I will stay by your side."
Bai Qianmo smiled faintly: "Then let's try it out based on this hypothesis?"
"Okay! Let me do it. You stay close to me."
Gu Jueye pulled Bai Qianmo to his side and began to move the bead in the dragon's mouth.
The first six beads were quickly placed in the positions indicated by Bai Qianmo, and so far there have been no problems.
The two held their breath. The most crucial moment had arrived. The two beads remaining in Gu Jueye's hand corresponded to the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death.
Gu Jueye slowly placed one of the beads into the dragon's mouth in the southwest direction. At the same time, Bai Qianmo, who had been standing to the side, suddenly reached out and attacked Gu Jueye's wrist.
Gu Jueye's expression changed slightly, and he felt a pain in his wrist, causing the beads in his hand to fall to the ground with a thud.
In a flash, Bai Qianmo's figure flashed like a ghost, precisely catching the falling bead in her palm.
"Qianmo, you..."
A cold gaze shot towards the man before her, and Bai Qianmo scoffed, "Yin Chi, your disguise skills are nothing special."
The man's expression changed drastically, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.
The man's lips twitched twice, and he gave a cold laugh.
"How did you figure out I wasn't Gu Jueye?"
"From the first time you held my hand."
Yin Chi frowned slightly, and the smile on his lips froze.
He shook her hand shortly after he entered the room, which means that everything she did in front of him afterwards was a pretense.
"You can tell I'm not him just by shaking hands?"
“Sometimes it’s just a coincidence. We’re wearing matching diamond rings, but you’re not.” Bai Qianmo raised her slender, fair hand, revealing a small, delicate diamond ring on her middle finger.
When Yin Chi took her hand, she noticed that he didn't have a ring on his hand, and she immediately became suspicious.
Gu Jueye wouldn't easily take off their couple rings, and when Gu Jueye held her hand before, he was clearly still wearing the rings on his fingers.
It's impossible for someone to take off their ring for no reason in just a few minutes.
Considering Yin Chi's expertise in disguise, it's quite possible that he would impersonate Gu Jueye to approach her.
She then calmly explained the art of Qimen Dunjia, deliberately revealing the method to open the Gate of Life.
If the man in front of him is a fake, and his deduction is correct, then the man will inevitably try to stop him during this time.
Indeed, at the crucial moment, he wanted to switch the two beads of the Gate of Life and Death.
In this way, the hidden weapons in the secret room will be triggered.
He was the one who created this mechanism, so he naturally had a way to escape, while she would be completely trapped here even if she didn't die.
Yin Chi chuckled coldly twice.
"I never expected that such a small ring would expose me, but the Life Gate bead is in my hands, so you can't escape."
Mr. Gu's appearance had always been top-notch in her mind, but now that Yin Chi was disguised as Gu Jueye, it was truly disgusting.
Especially those eyes, filled with evil and danger, completely different from the calm and collected demeanor of the original body.
As it turns out, no matter how well someone can impersonate another person, the eyes cannot lie.
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yin Chi with disdain.
"Really? Then let's give it a try!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qianmo rushed towards Yin Chi like a gust of wind. Yin Chi was not to be outdone. As Bai Qianmo approached, he extended his palm at the same time. A powerful energy emitted a scorching blue light when their palms touched.
Yin Chi felt a powerful energy surge into his body from his palm.
Like vines, they quickly wrapped around his entire body.
At this moment, Bai Qianmo remained calm and unleashed another palm strike, this time even more powerful, aimed directly at Yin Chi's face.
Yin Chi's expression changed, and without bothering to retaliate, he awkwardly dodged the attack.
Bai Qianmo's attacks were ruthless, and coupled with her powerful energy, she far surpassed Yin Chi.
After a brief exchange, Yin Chi was knocked off the platform by Bai Qianmo with a single palm strike.
Bai Qianmo tiptoed up and snatched the bead corresponding to the Gate of Life directly from Yin Chi's hand.
"puff……"
Yin Chi clutched his chest, a heavy feeling rising in his chest, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Bai Qianmo made another move, attempting to tear off the human skin mask from Yin Chi's face.
Just as her hand touched Yin Chi's ear, Yin Chi's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and waved, sending a handful of white powder straight towards Bai Qianmo's face.
It's a sleeping potion!
Upon smelling the white powder, Bai Qianmo immediately held her breath.
In the midst of this emptiness, Yin Chi's figure vanished from the secret chamber in an instant, leaving behind a chilling and hateful voice echoing in the air.
"Bai Qianmo, you just wait, I won't let you get away with this."
Bai Qianmo sneered, turned around and walked back to the platform, putting the two beads of the Gate of Life and Death back in their respective places.
The secret chamber suddenly shook violently, and then the stone doors located in the eight directions of the room slowly rose from the bottom up.
A beam of light shone in from the direction of the Life Gate.
Bai Qianmo quickly slipped away through the life gate.
Just then, two figures walked in from outside the door.
