"Let's move the stone first." Nangong Wu took out an iron crowbar and inserted it into the loose gap. "Let's work together."

"Okay." Bei Chenyan gripped the stone with both hands and worked together with Nangong Wu to move the large square stone little by little.

"This is a stone that has been processed; it was indeed deliberately placed here." Aiqi squatted down. "If it really is a pressure stone, I'll press it down with my hand first."

As the stone was lifted little by little, Aiqi saw the wooden plank underneath and immediately pressed it down with her hand. "Master, there's definitely something fishy going on under this stone."

"Everyone be careful!" Eileen also came to help move the stones.

A stone weighing about 100 pounds isn't heavy, but you have to move it carefully.

The three of them had just moved the stone away from the pit when they heard a "crack...crack..." sound.

"Oh no, Master! I can't press the mechanism with my strength!" Aiqi felt something rotating under the stone slab, but she couldn't press it with her strength.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan immediately separated to guard against any hidden attacks.

Suddenly, with a loud "boom," the artificial rock wall next to the stone moved.

"It's open! It must be the entrance!" Eileen exclaimed.

"Eileen, go and keep watch," Nangong Wu said to Eileen.

The mechanism has been activated, which may alert the Wan family.

"Yes." Eileen picked up her sniper rifle and left.

Soon, a cave entrance appeared on the mountain.

"The people of the Wan family are really clever; they managed to make the entrance so well that you can't even see a crack," Aiqi said with great admiration.

"Let's go in together," Bei Chenyan said to Nangong Wu.

"Okay." Nangong Wu nodded.

These belong to the Wan family; it would be good to let him go down and take a look.

"Aiqi, you can keep an eye on things up there too." Nangong Wu took out some more ammunition from her spatial storage and gave it to them.

"We understand." Aiqi took the gun and ammunition pouch.

"Let's go in." Nangong Wu said to Bei Chenyan, took a step and walked into the cave entrance, holding a flashlight.

The opening is not large, about four feet wide and six feet high, and it was carved out by man.

Bei Chenyan carried Nangong Wu's sword and followed her inside, keeping a distance of five steps from her, just in case something unexpected happened.

After walking about ten zhang inside, there are steps leading down.

Nangong Wu had just stepped down the first step when she suddenly stopped and hurriedly called out to Bei Chenyan behind her, "Don't come down yet."

She felt the stones beneath her feet were loose; it must be a trap.

"What's wrong?" Bei Chenyan asked worriedly.

"I think I stepped on a mechanism. Let's go into the space first." With a thought, Nangong Wu led Beichen Yan into the space.

The moment the two disappeared, countless arrows rained down on the spot where they had just stood.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Then, with another loud "boom," a stone door fell down from above, blocking the third step down.

"The person who designed this mechanism is so clever. I imagine the Wan family put a lot of thought into it." Nangong Wuzhen admired the Wan family for being able to set up such a sophisticated mechanism.

Bei Chenyan remained silent with a sullen face.

The Wan family must have made such a complicated underground room to hide a lot of valuables or something extraordinary.

About a minute later, the rain of arrows stopped, and a pile of hidden arrows had been gathered on the ground.

"Let's go out." Nangong Wu led Bei Chenyan out of the space again, putting the troublesome hidden arrows back into the space.

Bei Chenyan stepped forward and pushed the stone door, but it didn't budge.

Nangong Wu ran her hand along the stone wall. "Let's find the mechanism first."

Just as the two were searching for the mechanism on the wall, Aiqi heard the noise and followed them in.

"There's actually a hidden stone door inside? The Wan family is truly cunning."

Nangong Wu shook her head. If she were hiding treasures down there, she would definitely set up more traps.

Bei Chenyan looked into her eyes. "Let's find the mechanism first."

The time for ionization is getting closer, and the Wan family may send people in to patrol. If they find that the secret guards here have been killed, it will definitely alarm the entire Wan family.

They need to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Then you all step aside." Aiqi activated her scanning mode, scanning around the stone door.

After a while, she shook her head. "I didn't find anything suspicious."

"In that case, the mechanism is very likely hidden inside." Nangong Wu frowned.

"This stone door is too thick; I can't reach inside it," Aiqi said.

Nangong Wu thought for a moment, then took out a remote-controlled bomb, preparing to blast open the stone door.

Now that we're here, we absolutely can't leave empty-handed.

"I'll give it a try." Bei Chenyan placed his palms on the stone door and used his internal energy.

"I'll help too," Nangong Wu stepped forward to assist.

Bei Chenyan possesses profound internal strength; they might be able to break through this stone gate.

If it can be broken open by manpower, that would be best, so that there is no fear of alarming everyone with a bomb.

The two channeled their energy into their palms and exerted force together.

"Snap!" A soft, crisp sound.

Tiny cracks appeared around their palms.

Aiqi exclaimed with delight, "A crack has appeared! It's almost there! Keep it up!"

Seeing that this was effective, Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu channeled all their internal energy into their palms.

"Crack...crack..." The crack in the stone door grew larger and longer.

Bei Chenyan possessed profound internal strength; pieces of gravel had already fallen from the cracks around his palms.

"Wow!" Aiqi exclaimed, her eyes wide. "His Highness the Crown Prince's internal energy is incredible! It's as powerful as a hand grenade! No! As powerful as two hand grenades!"

Seeing that the cracks had almost closed, Bei Chenyan released his grip. "That's enough, Nangong Wu, you can step back now."

Knowing he was about to unleash a powerful attack, Nangong Wu took a few steps back.

Bei Chenyan also took two steps back, then suddenly kicked the stone door.

"Bang!" The stone door collapsed with a crash, and the dust kicked up instantly filled the narrow passage.

Nangong Wu took out two masks, gave one to Bei Chenyan, and said, "Put this on."

Seeing that the stone door had been broken open, Aiqi quickly retreated.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan walked down the gravel.

After descending the last step, the secret passage turns right, leading down more steps.

The two walked a few more feet along the narrow, dark passage, when a door blocked their way once again.

Nangong Wu shone her flashlight on it and saw, "It's an iron gate."

"Let me take a look." Bei Chenyan stepped forward.

"No need! This lock is a hidden lock, I have a way to fix it." Nangong Wu took out a chainsaw.

As long as it's not Shimen, it's easy to handle.

She pressed the switch, inserted the saw blade into the narrow crevice, and slowly sawed open the latch inside.

The iron gate was finally opened, and bright light shone in.

The two looked up and saw that the view ahead had suddenly opened up.

When they saw what was inside, their eyes widened.

Bright as day, magnificent and splendid!
