Chapter 606: Deep Into the Dragon's Lair

The courtyard where Yun Yi lived was called Longteng Pavilion.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao glanced at the several gilded characters on the plaque above, and a sneer flashed in their eyes.

Longteng Pavilion?

Ambition is not small.

"Why is it so quiet here?" A guard in front suddenly spoke in a solemn tone, "Master, be careful, something seems to be wrong."

Yun Yi's face was as gloomy as if covered with ice. When he walked out of the courtyard gate, he found that there was no one outside the gate.

"Where are the people here?!" He said coldly, "Are they all dead?"

The guard who followed him pushed open the courtyard gate, and his face changed instantly.

Indeed, they were all dead.

The bodies of the guards were lying in the yard, and it seemed that there were more than 20 people.

Yun Yi's face changed completely, becoming frightened and angry, and his face was surging like a raging sea.

The guards came forward to check, then turned around, their faces unable to hide their fear: "The whole body is black, they were bitten to death by poisonous creatures."

"Where is Yun Ping!" Yun Yi could no longer control his anger, and shouted at the guards, "Let Yun Ping roll over immediately! I want an explanation! Why did these damn poisonous creatures all go out of control tonight?!"

The guard replied tremblingly: "Someone has already gone to ask Master Yun..."

Xuanyuan Yao waited silently in the shadows outside, trying not to attract attention, but now he already understood that those poisonous creatures should have run out from under the Longteng Pavilion - that is, the palace they were looking for tonight was under the Longteng Pavilion.

Speaking of this, he really couldn't help but admire Yun Yi.

In addition to the mechanism under the place where he slept, there were countless poisonous creatures living all year round. Even if those poisonous creatures were controlled, he was really brave.

After recalling the map of the underground palace and the mechanisms in his mind, Xuanyuan Yao sighed softly. Seeing the guards in front of him start to follow Yun Yi inside, he and Xie Jin also followed.

"Master." A guard walking beside Yun Yi spoke hesitantly, "Should we wait until Master Ping comes before going in? What if there is something inside..."

Yun Yi's face was gloomy, and even if he didn't speak, he couldn't hide the rage on his face.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the guards didn't dare to persuade him anymore, and followed him in silently.

Carefully bypassing the corpse on the ground, Yun Yi walked into the room and turned a vase in the corner. Soon a dull sound was heard.

If it were in the past, the guards would never enter the underground palace. In addition to a few confidants of the master of the Yun family who could go down with Yun Yi, only Yun Ping, a master of expelling poison, and Lu Yuan, a master of mechanisms, could enter and exit freely-of course, they had to report to the master of the family every time they entered and exited, and only after obtaining consent could they do so.

But the situation tonight was special.

The guards outside were all dead, and the poisons below were all out of control. Yun Yi, the head of the Yun family, was naturally afraid of death, and was even more afraid that there were assassins waiting for him below, so after the mechanical stone door was opened, he ordered the first few guards to go down and check the situation.

The four guards walked down the stone steps of the secret passage carefully. Yun Yi followed the four guards silently, and the rest of the guards followed closely, protecting the distinguished head of the Yun family firmly.

The stone steps of the secret passage were not long, and soon they arrived in a narrow corridor, and the light became brighter.

There were several night pearls the size of a child's fist hanging above the wall, emitting a luster as bright as daylight at night. In addition to luxury, people walking here could no longer hide their true appearance.

Although Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao had changed their appearance, their appearance did not exist among the Yun family guards. If all the Yun family guards knew each other, then as long as the guards walking in front looked back slightly, they could see clearly that Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao had sneaked in.

Fortunately, the guards were all frightened by the poison and were in a state of panic. They just stared at their feet, fearing that some small snakes or scorpions would suddenly jump out and kill them if they were not careful, so they had no time to look back.

After walking through the long corridor, there were three forks in the road ahead. Yun Yi pressed an inconspicuous bulge on the wall - Xie Jin's eyes were always on his movements, so at this time he had seen as many as six identical bulges on the wall.

These bulges were definitely not pressed randomly. If you pressed the wrong one, you would most likely face the result of thousands of arrows or be nailed into a meat pie by the nail board falling from above.

Moreover, Lu Yuan, the master of the mechanism, was said to be able to adjust the function of these mechanism buttons at any time, so even if a master mastered the method of opening the mechanism here, once Lu Yuan was here, he could shoot the assassins who sneaked into the underground palace into a sieve at any time.

This was also the reason why Xie Jin wanted to kill Yun Ping and Lu Yuan tonight.

If Yun Ping dies, there will be no one to subdue the poisonous creatures that are rampaging tonight. If Lu Yuan dies, there will be no way to adjust the mechanism here. As long as Xie Jin remembers the opening method here, he can enter and exit at any time without worries.

After the bulge was pressed, the same dull sound came from the front of one of the forked roads. It was the stone door that was opened, but standing in their current position, the stone door could not be seen.

The four leading guards walked forward, Yun Yi followed and continued to move forward, and the other guards followed.

The underground palace was quiet, with only the slight sound of a few people walking.

After walking forward for a while, Xie Jin found that the road was blocked in front, or it was not blocked, but a huge deep pit appeared, and there were several large and small stone pits next to it, and the smell slowly diffused in the air.

Xuanyuan Yao understood.

This is the resting place of those poisonous creatures on weekdays.

There is a smell here that makes them obedient. If nothing unexpected happens, they will stay in the deep pit and wait for the people who raise them to feed them every day.

Once the smell of a stranger appears here, these poisonous creatures will quickly crawl out, bite the invader to death, eat the flesh and bones bit by bit, and make a person disappear in the most cruel way.

When Xuanyuan Yao thought of this, he couldn't help but admire Xie Jin's scheming again.

But he was more curious about the powder he prepared, which could make all the poisonous creatures smell the smell from a long distance, scramble to swim out of here, and not a single one was left.

The atmosphere was quiet and depressing.

Yun Yi's face was extremely ugly, so ugly that no words could describe him.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao stood at the back of the guards. Both of them lowered their heads in silence, with their hands slightly clenched, ready to kill everyone present at any time if an accident occurred.

But they would not take action easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, there are still many traps here, and it is always much faster to have someone lead the way than to grope by yourself.

Fortunately, Yun Yi was controlled by his furious emotions at this time, and had no time to be distracted. He quickly turned back to the place where the secret door was opened and pressed another protrusion on the wall again.

Another dull thunder-like sound sounded, and the guards walked towards the fork on the left.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao followed without saying a word.

After walking for a while, a study-like layout appeared in front of them. There was a huge mahogany bookshelf against the wall, on which were listed various books, as well as blue, red, and black bottles and jars.

A huge desk was placed in the middle, and on the desk were the four treasures of the study for writing and painting, and no other important things were seen.

Xie Jin's eyes were like lightning, secretly searching for the places where those important evidence might be placed.
