With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Nangong Wu's sharp eyes swept around, and she suddenly leaped into the air, drawing a sword and stabbing it fiercely at a certain spot.

"Pfft!"

The soil beneath this patch of grass was very loose; the sword, over three feet long, was completely embedded in it. The grass above stirred, and something beneath the ground was struggling violently.

Nangong Wu gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, twisted it a few times, and then stretched out one hand, but stopped moving after a while.

Suddenly, a powerful whooshing sound came from the side.

Nangong Wu's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly turned around to avoid it, a dagger shooting into the spot where she had just been standing.

She had just dodged when a figure approached as fast as a ghost.

Nangong Wu rolled on the spot, and a pistol appeared in her hand.

"Click!" The sound of the trigger being pulled; the pistol had already been fitted with a silencer, so there was no sound.

The attacker fell five feet away from her, staring at her in horror. "You..." he stammered, dying before he could finish speaking.

Nangong Wu put away her pistol, stood up, and then drew her longsword, leaving a trail of blood.

She used her mind to collect the corpse on the ground into her spatial dimension, along with the fallen bullet casings.

"Aiqi, remove the bullet, then throw the body out."

Time was too tight; she didn't have time to dig out the bullets.

"Understood!" Aiqi replied from within the space.

Nangong Wu picked up the dagger from the ground; it gleamed coldly. "It's a good item. I'll take it!"

There were nine people in total. Two have already been killed, leaving seven.

"Master, the commotion here may have alerted others," Aiqi warned her from inside the space.

"I know." Nangong Wu pulled up her invisibility cloak and leaped towards her next target.

A little while later, she had dealt with everyone in all eight directions.

After a few more rises and falls, she stopped in front of a large tree. This was the central palace of the Nine Palaces, the core position in the Nine Palaces system.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Several powerful whooshing sounds came from the air.

Nangong Wu's thoughts flashed into the space.

"Holy crap, Master, your lightness skill is so good, and you even have an invisibility cloak, how can you still be discovered? Are these people all monsters?" Eileen exclaimed.

"Could it be that Master stepped on a mechanism?" Aiqi wondered as well.

"None of them." Nangong Wu shook her head, looking at the three hidden weapons stuck in the ground outside. "These people have profound internal strength. They rely on their hearing, not their eyesight. Those three hidden weapons were thrown by people."

At that moment, a dark shadow appeared and flew down to the spot where she had just been standing.

"The last person has finally appeared!"

Aiqi and Ailin both looked at Nangong Wu.

"So the master was trying to lure people out."

Nangong Wu took out a pistol, projected her thoughts into space, and pulled the trigger with her finger.

"Snap!" The bullet struck the man precisely in the back of the head, and he collapsed.

Aiqi and Ailin also came out of the space.

"Master, let's dig out the bullets."

Nangong Wu ignored them, took a look around, and took out a geological imaging device.

There are a lot of gold and silver treasures hidden underground. I wonder if they were buried directly in the soil like they were buried by the Fan family patriarch? Or was a secret underground chamber dug?

"Master, we'll cover for you," Aiqi said.

"Okay!" Nangong Wu took out two sniper rifles and gave them to them.

The problems have been solved for all nine people, but there may be others.

Aiqi and Erin took the guns and found a place to ambush.

Nangong Wu adjusted the geological imaging instrument and began the exploration.

Images quickly appeared on the screen, revealing that the ground was hollow. Although she couldn't see what was below clearly, she was certain that she was standing in a dark underground chamber.

Since it's an underground secret room, there must be an entrance.

At that moment, Eileen moved and fired a shot with a "click".

"Bang!" There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the west.

Nangong Wu instinctively produced a gun in her hand.

Aiqi and Ailin both stood up.

"Master, this person came in from outside the forbidden area; perhaps it's a routine check."

"Keep on guard." Nangong Wu gestured to Aiqi and Eileen, then flew towards the spot where the person had landed.

She walked to a place she could control with her mind, and used her mind to put that person into her space, in case the person wasn't completely dead, to send a signal flare to the Wan family.

"Nangong Wu!" Bei Chenyan's voice suddenly came.

Nangong Wu looked over and saw that this guy had come in too!

"Are you alright?" Bei Chenyan looked her up and down.

Nangong Wu remained silent and returned to the spot where she had been before to continue searching for an exit.

Bei Chenyan followed behind her, lowering his voice and saying, "I saw that person come in just now, so I chased after him, but I still couldn't keep up with the speed of your bullets."

"Hmm." Nangong Wu picked up the geological imaging device and said to him, "I've already detected it. There's an underground chamber beneath this forbidden area."

"Really?" Bei Chenyan's eyes widened in shock.

Just how much wealth did these Wan families possess? They even built a special underground vault!

"Hmm, I'm looking for the entrance to the underground chamber." Nangong Wu probed the surroundings.

After using the Qimen Dunjia method to determine the directions, she walked to a rockery.

"The entrance is right here."

"Let me take a look!"

Eileen and Aiqi both came over and scanned the artificial hill with their eyes.

Bei Chenyan was stunned when he saw the strange light in their eyes.

These are definitely not the eyes of a normal person!

He had rarely paid attention to their eyes before. If it weren't nighttime, he wouldn't have noticed them at all. Who exactly were Aiqi and Erin? Why were their eyes so strange?

"Master! The entrance is here."

Aiqi pointed to a spot.

Nangong Wu hurriedly followed, took out a mini flashlight, and shone it on the object.

Although the rocks were uneven, there wasn't a single crack in them.

"Are you sure?" Bei Chenyan was also puzzled. He stepped forward and touched it with his hand, and there really wasn't a single crack. He really didn't know how Eileen and Aiqi could tell.

"Let's find out where the mechanism is first." Nangong Wu trusted Aiqi and Ailin; if they said it was there, then it must be there.

"Okay." Aiqi and Erin separated, one scanning to the left and the other to the right.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan were not idle either; they touched the stone little by little, trying to see if they could trigger the mechanism.

"There's something wrong here!" Aiqi noticed something amiss again. She pointed to a slightly protruding rock near the base of the wall. "Let's dig this rock out."

"I'll do it." Bei Chenyan took off the cumbersome outer robe and handed it to Nangong Wu. "Help me put the clothes in my spatial storage."

Then he grabbed the stone and used his hidden power.

The stone did indeed loosen!

"This stone is quite large; it's very likely the pressure stone for the mechanism," Nangong Wu said.

Bei Chen Yan frowned upon hearing this.

If this stone is indeed the pressure stone of the mechanism, moving it might trigger the mechanism, sound an alarm, or open the switch to the entrance.
