Chapter 29 Daglas
“Ling Xiao, the situation is urgent. To prevent the evil spirit masters from harming other villages, we need to leave immediately. Moreover, you don’t understand evil spirit masters; they are extremely sensitive to human senses. There should be no survivors in this village,” Xi Pu explained.
"But for some reason, I always feel that I will regret it for the rest of my life if I leave here now." Ling Xiao told a lie directly, but his words also attracted the attention of Su Yuntao and Xipu.
"Are you sure?" Nishiura asked.
“Absolutely, and definitely,” Ling Xiao said firmly.
“Then we need to act quickly, after all, no one knows if those evil spirit masters will launch a surprise attack,” Xipu said.
“Ling Xiao, didn’t you just say you have a sense? Could you use your senses to find something that is very important to you?” Su Yuntao suggested.
"I'll give it a try."
After saying that, Ling Xiao began to pretend to sense things, while in his mind he called out to the system: "System, quickly open the small map I usually use. If my lie is exposed, the mission will not be completed."
This time, the system ignored Ling Xiao, but still opened the minimap. Ling Xiao sensed something unusual about the system from this. It seemed that this person was quite important to the system and even to himself, otherwise the system wouldn't have given such a generous reward without even haggling with him.
Following the system's instructions, Ling Xiao made his way through a maze of turns until he arrived at a house that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. However, judging from the house's exterior, the person who built it must have been quite wealthy in the village, since the buildings here were comparable to those in Notting City. But its presence in such a small village seemed a bit out of place. Could this have been a villa built by some nobleman in the past?
It's unclear why this place was abandoned later, since the house is now a dangerous building. Ling Xiao pushed the door slightly, and it collapsed, kicking up dust that made him cough.
"Ling Xiao, are you sure there's someone here?" Su Yuntao asked doubtfully.
“I sensed it was here.”
Ling Xiao stuck to his previous statement, and Su Yuntao and Xipu could only follow Ling Xiao to continue the search. Soon, they arrived at a place that resembled a bedroom.
"Uncle Su Yuntao, Palace Master Xipu, could you please help me find a secret passage?" Ling Xiao said.
Ling Xiao used the mini-map provided by the system to find that the person was there, but after searching the room, he still couldn't find the person he needed to save. Therefore, Ling Xiao guessed that there might be a secret passage leading underground.
Despite their efforts to find the mechanism and secret passage, Ling Xiao and his companions were still unable to locate it. Ling Xiao, exhausted from constantly searching for the mechanism, sat down on the bed in the bedroom without any regard for appearances. Upon sitting down, he felt something was a bit uncomfortable, so he lifted the bed and saw a button in the spot where he had been sitting. He immediately called Su Yuntao and Xipu over.
"What's wrong? Did you find the mechanism?" Su Yuntao asked curiously.
“Look here,” Ling Xiao said, pointing to the button.
"Why don't you press it?" Su Yuntao asked with a puzzled look.
“I was sitting on it just now, but I didn’t activate any of the mechanisms,” Ling Xiao explained.
"How strange?" Xipu asked incredulously.
After saying that, Xipu stepped forward and pressed the button hard, but there was no response. At this moment, he believed what Ling Xiao had just said, so he directly activated his Martial Soul and pressed the button again.
