"Lord Temple Master, please don't worry! They just finished dealing with the evil spirits and blood energy here, so they must have left some clues! If we search carefully and find the evidence, their deaths will be imminent!"
"Hmph! I'll trust you one more time! By the way, they said that the petty thief really is you? And that you were the one who released these evil demons?"
"I wish I had that ability!"
Shen Yunhao didn't say anything more and continued walking forward.
Before long, they arrived at the end of the stone chamber and saw a small room with traces of past life inside.
This must have been the residence of that red-robed elder.
No one knows where that guy ran off to. This is the first time Shen Yunhao has ever felt such strong killing intent towards someone!
Apart from some daily necessities and a meditation cushion, there was nothing else in the room.
After searching for a long time, Shen Yunhao still couldn't find a way upstairs or downstairs.
He deduced that since these stone pillars could return to normal, there must be some source that continuously supplied them with evil spirits and blood energy.
The source is either upstairs or downstairs.
The upper floor is the surface, so the possibility of an interlayer is relatively small. It's more likely that the evil spirits and blood energy were injected into the stone pillar from somewhere underground.
But now, the road has come to an end, and no other passages can be seen, which is really puzzling.
"Could the problem lie with those stone pillars?"
"Are you sure you can do this?" After observing for a while without any results, Nie Qingshuang saw that Shen Yunhao also looked helpless and sneered, "If we can't find anything, we should leave as soon as possible and not embarrass ourselves here!"
Clearly, this Palace Master is still holding a grudge about being slapped on the butt, and it has become commonplace for him to make sarcastic remarks at the drop of a hat.
"Lord of the Palace, with your supernatural powers, are you able to detect any other rooms downstairs or upstairs?"
Nie Qingshuang immediately shook her head.
"This place is a natural enclosure, where divine sense cannot spread at all, and even the power of space is sealed. I could forcibly destroy it, but it would likely cause the entire space to collapse, making it much more difficult to find evidence then!"
Destroying this place would be a very unwise choice. If the Dragon Blood Sect loses this place, they will go elsewhere to slaughter demons, making it even harder to investigate.
Shen Yunhao rubbed his head. "There's definitely a path leading to the next level here. There's definitely something down there! I'm sure of it!"
Just then, a fluffy white fox head suddenly appeared in Shen Yunhao's arms.
Holy crap!
Without thinking, Shen Yunhao hurriedly shoved the fox's head back in!
Nie Qingshuang is still here, how dare you stick your head out? Don't you want your head anymore?
Bai Xiaoruo, however, didn't care at all. She twisted a couple of times and crawled out of Shen Yunhao's arms, transforming into a little fox and sniffing around on the ground.
Meeting Nie Qingshuang's unfriendly gaze, Shen Yunhao's expression stiffened slightly, and he could only laugh awkwardly as he explained, "Uh, Lord Palace Master... this is actually a keepsake left to me by Miss Bai. I'm going to take it back to Tianshan and give it to True Person Lingyue."
That makes sense; this thing is just a tail right now.
Nie Qingshuang frowned as she watched the little fox darting around, and asked, "What's she up to? Is she looking for food?"
"..." Shen Yunhao scratched his head, "Maybe... he's looking for some kind of switch."
A moment later, the little fox suddenly pointed to the bottom of a bookshelf with its paw and made a "gurgle gurgle!" sound.
Shen Yunhao: "???"
What's that noise?
"Ahem!" The little fox regained its human voice, "Here, come quick, there's a trap here!"
Shen Yuhao was slightly taken aback. He walked over and squatted down under the bookshelf, rummaging around for a while. He actually found a small, upside-down piece that could be twisted.
"Huh? How did you figure that out? Does this thing have a smell?"
"Of course there is! It's the smell of people! The smell is the strongest here, so someone must have been here not long ago."
"This works? Your nose..."
"Just like my mother! My mother is amazing. Others identify demons by observing their demonic aura, but she can tell just by smelling them. No other method works!"
"..."
Since it was not long ago...
After a long silence, Shen Yunhao looked at Nie Qingshuang behind him.
Nie Qingshuang understood and sneered, "Hmph! I'd like to see just who dares to sneak around in front of me!"
Shen Yinghao fiddled with it for a while, and finally a creaking sound came from the corner of the room.
Following the sound, I walked forward and saw an ordinary meditation cushion!
When the futon was moved aside, a small round hole about half a meter in diameter was found under it. It was pitch black inside and seemed to lead directly to the ground!
"Found it! There really is a lower level!"
"Hehe! Aren't I amazing?"
The little fox wagged its tail triumphantly and then darted back into Shen Yunhao's arms.
Nie Qingshuang frowned deeply at the scene, but with important matters at hand, she didn't ask any more questions. She simply said, "Stand here and don't move. I'll go down and take a look first."
"..."
After saying that, he turned into a streak of blue light with a "whoosh" and disappeared in front of the narrow hole that was just wide enough for one person.
Only after Nie Qingshuang left did Shen Yunhao take out the little fox and rub her fluffy head.
"So this is what the silly fox is good for!"
"Ouch! Your saliva has gotten all over Mao Mao! Go away! Go away!"
"Hey! You're starting to complain now?"
Then they shaped the little fox into various forms.
Bai Xiaoruo: "..."
Not long after, Nie Qingshuang's voice came from below the cave.
"Come down, there's no one below!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao pinched the fox's tail, squeezing the little fox into a soft strip before tucking it into his arms. Without much hesitation, he jumped directly into the dark hole.
Then……
"Oh my god! There's no staircase down here!"
"..."
Below the round hole was a relatively smooth tunnel, which was very narrow. After Shen Yunhao jumped in, he was pulled down by gravity and fell for nearly four or five seconds before finally landing on the ground with a scream.
My butt! It's split open!
Seeing this, Nie Qingshuang rolled her eyes, but felt inexplicably relieved.
Then, with a flick of his finger, the dark underground passage was enveloped in a layer of pure white fluorescence.
With the help of this faint light, Shen Yunhao was able to see his surroundings clearly.
The space here is not as large as the third-level stone chamber; instead, it resembles a long, narrow tunnel.
The tunnel wasn't very long, and it was quite empty inside. There were no objects placed inside, nor any place to hide. Nie Qingshuang was standing at the other end of the tunnel, staring at the scene before her, somewhat lost in thought.
It was a circular platform that looked a bit like... an altar.
