Xu Chi realized the seriousness of the situation and frowned, but Yao Yao said, "In this case, doesn't it make things even easier for us? It's not even a core-level mechanism, so it's a piece of cake for us."
Then, after a few glances, he spotted the key point of the formation at a glance. He skillfully manipulated it with his fingers, and with a slight clicking sound, a brick on the ground slowly loosened.
Yao Yao said to Xu Chi, "You stay upstairs first, I'll go in and take a look." Xu Chi didn't object, after all, Yao Yao's mechanical skills and martial arts were superior to his, so he wasn't too worried.
Unlike the modest decorations outside the Feng residence, this passageway, though built underground, is illuminated every few steps by a large luminous pearl, and even the floor is made of fine sandalwood.
After passing through a long corridor and dodging several poisoned arrows, Yao Yao arrived at the core of the underground secret chamber. She was almost blinded by the golden light inside.
The piles and heaps truly exemplify the phrase "piles of gold and jade."
Rows of gold, silver, and jade stones dazzled Yao Yao, but she wasn't dazzled by them and continued to explore. "Click!"
A small compartment suddenly appeared, and inside lay a booklet quietly.
Yao Yao opened it and found that it contained records of all the shady deals made behind the scenes by Liang Gou, the leader of the martial arts alliance!
All the funds were transported from Yecheng, an inconspicuous little town.
Yao Yao put the booklet into her spatial storage. With these, the things she had found before could only shake and damage Liang Gou's foundation. Now, with this ledger, she could completely overthrow Liang Gou.
Yao Yao stepped out of the secret room and met Xu Chi's gaze. "How was it?"
Yao Yao said, "I have gained a lot. It seems that I have not only found funds to strengthen the Demonic Sect, but also received an unexpected surprise."
So... that means we've gained a lot.

"They haven't come out for so long, could they have actually found something?"
The burly man was somewhat worried, while Feng Mo, who had been full of confidence, was now getting anxious. "Hmph, so what if we find them? Soon... our people will be here..."
"What's wrong, Boss Feng? Are you afraid we'll empty your hideout?"
The speaker was Yao Yao. Seeing that Yao Yao's hands were empty, Feng Mo assumed that the two hadn't been found and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you, I don't have any money in my household, but you two just wouldn't believe me..." Yao Yao interrupted Feng Mo.
"Wait, who said we didn't find it? Boss Feng's room full of gold and silver treasures really stunned me. Boss Feng, you're quite the hidden master!"
Seeing Yao Yao's teasing gaze, Feng Mo was sweating profusely. "What are you talking about... what gold and silver treasures! Don't talk nonsense!"
Yao Yao watched Feng Mo struggle desperately and said leisurely, "Alright, since Boss Feng doesn't believe me, how about the study, the sixth book in the third row of the bookshelf, the mechanism underneath, and... your basement, Boss Feng?"
Feng Mo's heart sank completely. What he was really worried about was not the room full of gold and silver treasures, but the account book in the hidden compartment.
At this moment, the men Feng Mo had summoned arrived. A group of people in white jumped down from the high wall of the Feng residence, landing on Yao Yao and her companion. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Feng Mo simply tore off his hypocritical mask. "Heh, so what if you saw it? You still won't leave here alive! This isn't some fancy trickery from the casino! Kill them! Don't let them leave here alive."
Without waiting for a reply, the man in white took action immediately.
From the white-clad man's movements, Yao Yao could naturally tell that he was a trained martial artist with a solid foundation and superior skills.
But Yao Yao was no less impressive. She moved gracefully among the white-clad men with her light-footed steps, wielding her short dagger with a speed and agility that was as graceful as a startled swan and as nimble as a swimming dragon.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a group of men in white collapsed.
