Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1195 Hit the target
It is not surprising that there are secret passages in the hometown of the Tianlang Sect. All large sects will have some when they are first established. Even a small sect like the Qingshan Sect has a secret cave for its leader.

However, Li Chengxi did not expect to see the entrance to the secret passage as soon as he entered.

Some serve as escape routes, while others are secret storage locations for valuables, but you won’t know what they are until you open them.

This side hall seemed to be used to store the teachings and scriptures of the Sirius Cult. There were tall bookshelves everywhere. The sound of fighting came from behind a few bookshelves in the front right.

"Take two steps forward, and the floor tiles under the bookshelf on your left can be opened."

Li Chengxi could see the secret passage, but he didn't know where the mechanism was unless it was within Yang Yiyi's field of vision.

Of course, this is not necessary.

Yang Yiyi immediately drew out her steel mace and started attacking the floor tiles that Li Chengxi was talking about.

The floor tile was originally empty, and after a few hits, a big hole was created, and it was pitch black underneath.

"Go down and have a look."

Qin Yan said at this time:
"Let me go ahead. I'm more used to traps and mechanisms."

The thieves in the Sixteenth Village were indeed good at this. Yang Yiyi handed the flashlight to Qin Yan, who jumped down first. Yang Yiyi followed, holding Wu Shaoyi's wheelchair.

Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan didn't know that Li Chengxi could use the Sky-lifting Stone to shave Yang Yiyi's hair and cleanse her marrow. At present, only Yang Yiyi and Li Chengxi knew about this.

This secret is of great importance and cannot be spoken casually. If it leaks out, things will be troublesome.

However, the two had no objection to Li Chengxi's instructions. After all, just from the experience of going to southern Xinjiang, they knew that Li Chengxi's instructions were always correct.

Anyway, the two of them didn't think they could handle the leader of the Sirius Cult. Since they were not the main force, it was okay to just do some research. Especially when they found a secret passage, if they could block an important figure of the Sirius Cult inside, it would be a great achievement.

There was nothing much to say about the secret passage itself. It was narrow and dark as expected. Qin Yan walked in front with a flashlight. In some places, she had to lower her head and crouch down to get through.

But this secret passage seems to be unexpectedly large, and the routes are unexpectedly complicated.

At first, Li Chengxi thought it would lead to some secret place, but as he walked, he found that he was extremely wrong.

When walking in this secret passage, you will often see "thin lines" on the wall or ceiling formed by lights shining from outside. After groping for a while, you can even find the handle that can be used to lift the wooden board as a pot lid.

And every time it is opened, it appears in a different place. It feels like this is not an escape route, but more like a fast passage for a few people to move around in the palace.

Why this thing was built is a little hard to understand and seems overly complicated.

Yang Yiyi and the others were able to identify the direction at first, but after turning around a few times, they could no longer tell the directions and could not even return the same way they had come.

Since the secret passages were either in the wall or on the floor, sounds of fighting could be heard through the open holes. It seemed that the martial arts masters were still engaging in intense physical exchanges with the people from the Sirius Cult.

The three of them wandered around inside for almost an incense stick of time. The more Li Chengxi looked at it, the more he felt it was unreliable. Instead of wandering around in here all the time, it would be better to go out and look for a place that might be a treasure house.

So he said:

"Go out when you come across an exit later. I suspect this secret passage might be a circle. If you continue to go around it, you might end up going back."

As soon as Li Chengxi finished speaking, the three of them saw a bright spot of light projected from the darkness not far ahead.

So the three of them quickened their pace. Qin Yan, who was walking in front, was about to push open the baffle when her ears suddenly moved.

She made a gesture to silence Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi who were following behind her, and then put her ears close to them.

All three of them heard the sound of footsteps approaching while someone was talking. At first, the distance was too far to make it clear what was being said, but soon the footsteps got closer and closer.

A voice that sounded very old said in broken Central Plains Mandarin:

"Our sect is facing a great disaster, yet your department still stands by us. This is truly rare." Then another younger, middle-aged voice responded:
"No, no, the calamity of the Heavenly Wolf Sect is only temporary. I believe that the leader will definitely make a comeback."

This time there is no Western accent, it sounds like someone from the Central Plains.

The three immediately realized that there was a traitor.

Shen Qingluo also knew this. With thousands of people, no matter how careful they were, the news was bound to leak out, and it was not surprising that a traitor sneaked in.

This is also the reason why Yang Yiyi needs to be extra careful when delivering the letter. The real action plan is only known to the leaders of each faction, and even the elders only have a vague understanding of it, so they try their best to avoid leaking important information.

However, when the three girls heard that there was a traitor, they all wanted to find out the traitor's identity and deal with him later.

So they leaned against the baffle and listened more carefully.

The footsteps were still approaching, and it sounded like there were about four or five people, but one of them seemed to have three legs and was probably using a crutch.

None of the people who came to attack the Sirius Cult used crutches. If you think about it this way, the person using crutches might very well be the old voice that was used by the Sirius Cult to contact the traitor.

"However, with such a huge momentum, how can the leader escape?"

"Then it's none of your business. We have our own way."

The man was quite cautious and didn't reveal any important information.

The middle-aged man who should be the traitor hurriedly said:

"I am the one who is talking too much. I shouldn't have asked that."

"You're welcome. There are some things I really can't tell you, but it doesn't matter if you ask."

Then the old voice said:
"Here it is, wait a moment."

There was only a tiny gap in the baffle that allowed light to pass through. Qin Yan tried very hard to see something through the gap, but it was too narrow and she couldn't see the location of the sound at all.

Then the three of them heard a series of crisp clicks, like the sound of a lock being unlocked and some metal box being opened.

Then, the old voice continued in a poor Western accent:

"This secret book was specially given to you by the leader. It is not included in the agreed reward. If you study it carefully, it will definitely be of great benefit to you."

"Then I'd rather obey your command. Thank you very much."

It sounds like some secret book was used in exchange.

Although the strength of the Sirius Cult's followers varies, the style of the middle and upper echelons is very obvious.

Not to mention anything else, at least the three of the Four Heavenly Kings who have appeared so far have nothing in common in their martial arts.

Either the three of them came from different sects, or the Tianlang Sect had so many martial arts that they could teach each student according to their aptitude.

So, the place outside the door might be a key place where martial arts secrets are stored?
"Besides, there is this thing. The promised reward will naturally not be less."

No one knew what was taken out this time. Qin Yan only heard a slight crashing sound, as if a bag of silver was being filled.

Neither Wu Shaoyi nor Qin Yan understood what this meant, but Yang Yiyi became anxious when she heard it.

This feels like a towering stone.
