The elite of the Floating Pagoda Army are in the Iron Floating Pagoda, and the elite of the Iron Floating Pagoda are in the Dark Division!
The hundred men in the Dark Division were transferred by Lin Yu from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. They are all elites among elites, each capable of taking on a hundred men!
Lin Yu said with a chilling gaze, "Considering Wang Wei's past achievements, I'll leave him alone for now and let him reflect on his actions. If he dares to rebel..."
"I'll ruin his reputation in his later years!"
Lin Yu's eyes suddenly flashed with two murderous glints!
...
At this moment, in Longxuan Pavilion.
Ning Xi, the head manager, was pacing anxiously back and forth on the ground.
Longxuan Pavilion has closed down, and the outside world's turmoil has nothing to do with the Ning family.
But at this moment, she was worried about something else!
His own father, Ning Hongsheng, the head of Longxuan Pavilion, has been missing for more than a month!
Ning Hongsheng was a hands-off manager who would hand over the business to his daughter and then travel around enjoying himself.
This sightseeing wasn't just for fun. Master Ning's ancestors were tomb raiders, and he usually enjoyed traveling through mountains and rivers, searching for auspicious sites and such.
He also enjoys collaborating with explorers to venture into strange and dangerous places.
In the past, Ning Hongsheng would go away for ten days or half a month each time, so it was no longer surprising to Ning Xi.
Because his father was highly skilled in martial arts and also extremely adept at feng shui and divination, there was nowhere that could trap him.
But this time it's different. My father has been gone for over a month and there's been no news of him at all.
This is really unusual.
Because in the past, my father would send me a message every week.
Ningxi sensed something was wrong and sent people to search for them a few days later!
She remembered that before her father left, he told her that the place they were going to was Guanmiao.
It's a place not far from the interior of China, only a few hundred kilometers away. It's a dense forest.
"Miss!"
Just then, the head steward, Wu Guang, suddenly walked in.
Ningxi quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is there any news about my dad?"
Wu Guang shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not about the Pavilion Master, it's about the news of that Sect Master who holds the seal!"
"Sect Leader Lin?" Ning Xi frowned slightly. "What's wrong with him now?"
Wu Guang said with a solemn expression, "According to our Ning family's intelligence, this Sect Master Lin seems to be in a standoff with the powerful figures behind the four major families. Currently, it seems that the two sides are evenly matched. Sect Master Lin has captured the heads of the four major families, while the people behind the heads of the four major families have captured the Lan family. The two sides are currently deadlocked!"
"Oh?" Ning Xi was slightly surprised.
"I originally thought that this Sect Master Lin only had some influence in the local area, but I didn't expect him to have achieved this much?"
She then shook her head. "However, if I'm not mistaken, the people behind the four major families are mostly from the compound, and they are definitely not to be underestimated!"
"We must not offend either side, nor should we easily take sides, otherwise my Ning family may face annihilation!" Ning Xi concluded.
Wu Guang nodded. "Miss is absolutely right. Although our Ning family's business has grown bigger and bigger over the years, we are still a merchant family. We can't afford to offend any of these powerful figures!"
Ning Xi nodded, then added, "However, I quite admire this Sect Master, especially his subordinate. If I'm not mistaken, he definitely has the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster! Martial arts practitioners are always aloof, so to be followed by a Martial Arts Grandmaster, this person must have extraordinary abilities!"
"Miss!"
Just then, one of his men walked in carrying a cage wrapped in red cloth.
Ning Xi was slightly taken aback. "What's going on? Father's back?"
The creature in the cage was always inseparable from her father, and now that the cage was back, she assumed her father had returned.
However, to everyone's surprise, the servant said in a panic, "The Pavilion Master has not returned, only A Bao has returned, and it brought something with it!"
brush!
As the servant spoke, he directly lifted the white cloth.
Immediately, the contents of the cage came into everyone's view.
This is a creature covered in scales, which is now curled up in a ball, trembling.
It's a pangolin!
However, the pangolin was not in good condition at the moment. Its scales were covered in blood, and some scales had fallen off. There was also blood on its mouth, indicating that it had suffered a serious injury.
It slightly opened its eyes, saw Ningxi, and couldn't help but make a "liu liu liu" sound. As if it had suddenly relaxed, its embrace loosened, and an object rolled out of its arms.
"Ah Bao!"
Ning Xi was startled and quickly opened the cage, taking the pangolin out. She had raised this pangolin for decades, was very attached to it, and it was also quite intelligent.
It must have come back this time to tell me some message!
Ningxi hurriedly asked the servants, "What exactly happened? Where is my father?"
The servant looked travel-worn, clearly having gone on an adventure with Ning Hongsheng and experienced some things.
Seeing Ningxi ask this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I went to Guanmiao with the Pavilion Master to collect items. The Pavilion Master discovered that many villagers in the surrounding villages and towns were selling items from underground. The Pavilion Master deduced that there must be a large tomb in the back mountain of Guanmiao, so he led us to search for the tomb!"
"Fifty miles from Guan Temple, we discovered a narrow passage, a 'one-line sky.' After passing through it, the compass spun wildly, completely out of control! We then traveled another ten miles and found a tomb passage in a rock wall. Deep within the tomb passage was a bottomless cave, like an abyss! The Pavilion Master was worried that our cultivation was insufficient and feared for our safety, so he took A Bao down alone to investigate. Unexpectedly, in the end..."
Upon hearing this, Ningxi's delicate body trembled.
Clearly, in the end, only Abao came out, not the father.
"Uncle Guang, prepare the car, I'm going to Guanmiao myself!" Ningxi said through gritted teeth.
She was worried about her father's safety, so she naturally went there immediately.
However, Wu Guang immediately shook his head, his face grave, and said, "Miss, you mustn't!"
As he spoke, he picked up the object that had fallen from A Bao's arms—a bronze statue!
And it's a bronze statue of Guan Yu!
What's even more peculiar is that this bronze statue of Guan Yu has his eyes open!
"Guan Yu, open your eyes!"
Ning Xi's expression changed slightly.
Those in their line of work all know that Guan Gong statues are usually depicted with their eyes closed. If Guan Gong were to open his eyes, it would be a sign of disaster and misfortune!
Moreover, Guan Yu's body was covered in blood, which was definitely a very bad omen!
What was her father trying to tell her?
This abyss is destined to be extremely dangerous; once you go down there, there is almost no chance of survival!
Wu Guang clearly understood the implication, sighed, and said, "Miss, the Pavilion Master is reminding you not to put yourself in danger! This Heavenly Abyss is not to be visited!"
