tense. The light cavalry of the Burning Legion had drawn their swords from their waists, and Mingqi's personal guards had also taken up their weapons. Both sides stared silently at each other, awaiti...Sunlight falls on the green vines, giving the already vibrant vines a touch of shimmering brilliance.
The booming sound ceased, and from the center of the stone with its unique carvings, fissures in the rock spread outward like a shattered explosion. Even vaguely, there was still the cracking sound of rocks breaking.
Qin Luoyan took a few steps back, and when she looked up again, she saw the cliff in front of her had completely split open. The specially carved stones also rolled down and landed at her feet. The stones on the cliff wall also fell one after another. In the blink of an eye, a hole more than ten feet high was revealed.
Deep within the cave, it was pitch black. Dust swirled from within, accompanied by a strange, pungent odor.
Qin Luo'yan covered her mouth and nose, frowned, and turned to look at the elder who understood medicine.
The elder seemed to understand Qin Luoyan's meaning, took a few steps forward, and gently sniffed, "It smells like the smell of corrosion that has been suppressed for many years, but it shouldn't be poisonous."
Upon his confirmation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Ye had someone light a torch, and after giving his entourage a signal, he took the lead. Ling Shu's troops followed behind them, as per their previous agreement, Li Yunfan's men walked at the end. As Qin Luo Yan held a special status, she walked beside Rong Ye.
Two elders from the Rong family walked ahead, their torches illuminating a few dozen meters in front of them. This was a long corridor with ancient tung oil lamps on both sides, but the tung oil had long burned out, so the lamps were extinguished.
They walked for a long time before finally passing through the tunnel and arriving at a vast cave. The cave was so large that even with torches, they couldn't see its edges.
Rong Ye immediately ordered his men to spread out. Several elders dispersed, each searching the edges of the cave. However, this cave was larger than they had imagined. Holding their torches, they spread out but hadn't even reached the edge before the range of their torchlight almost extended beyond where they stood.
The people of the Ling family obeyed orders and followed after. At this critical moment, Ling Shu didn't dare to take risks at random, so when the torches wielded by the Rong family's men were about to leave their range, he immediately ordered his own people to scatter as well.
However, this cave was truly unbelievably large. Even after Ling’s people followed in, they couldn't reach the edge. There was no choice but for Li Yunfan to also have his men spread out and follow behind.
Thus, almost everyone held torches, one after another spreading outwards like a flowing flashlight, gradually outlining the contours of the entire cave.
Finally, when everyone had dispersed, the person in front touched the edge of the cave.
However, when the light of the torches illuminated the entire cave, everyone was somewhat disappointed. Because this cave was just a cave, there was nothing inside, except for the echoing emptiness, it seemed that there was nothing else worth pondering. Moreover, there were no other entrances around the cave, it seemed that this was already the end of the cave.
"Qin girl, what do you think" Rong Ye asked, frowning.
At this moment, only Rong Ye, Ling Shu, Li Yunfan, and Qin Luoyan were in the center of the cave. After Rong Ye's question, the others also looked at Qin Luoyan.
Qin Luo'yan didn't answer immediately, but continued to observe the entire cave. After a while, she countered, "Don't you think this cave is too eerily empty"
“Does that need to be said” Ling Su coldly snorted, “Even entering this cave from the stone wall is so difficult, but there’s nothing inside! That’s certainly strange! This cave is so big, if it were all filled with Gengjin, that would be a huge fortune. But look, there’s nothing now, wasn't it emptied beforehand”
Between the lines of Ling Su's words, it was nothing more than a question that Qin Luo Yan had arrived here in advance and then emptied the wealth of this place.
"Master Ling, this is the *n*th time you've doubted me" Qin Luoyan's face was also very ugly, "If you continue with this attitude of suspicion, then I will ask you to leave. You can go whenever you want, cooperation ends here!"
Since Qin Luoyan and the three families had cooperated, it was the first time she spoke so harshly, which surprised everyone. For a person to maintain a steadfast attitude under normal circumstances indicates that she has something backing her up. But what exactly is Qin Luoyan's reliance on
"You little brat, you start acting up after just a taste of power! Tell me, we came here all this way and there's nothing here. What's going on Besides you, who else could have gotten in here" Ling Shu relentlessly pressed.
Qin Luoyan couldn't help but roll her eyes and let out a low sigh: "The decline of the Ling family is indeed for a reason. Ling Shu, why don't you think about it When we first came in, the stones on the cliff directly shattered. That means when the cave opened, the stones and the cliff wall broke apart. Once broken, they can't be restored. It's a one-time use! If someone really came here beforehand, do you think the stone wall would still be intact when we arrived"
Qin Luo's words were like a wake-up call, instantly enlightening the crowd. It has to be said that her explanation was logical and reasonable.
Rong Ye also nodded and said, “That’s right, Qin girl is making sense. Ling Shu, don't make a fuss anymore. Let's just see what secrets are hidden here. Besides, Miss Qin is a guest of honor in my Rong family. Even your Ling family, out of respect for my Rong family, shouldn't go too far.”
Like a fox, Rong Ye naturally jumped out to support Qin Luo Yan at this time.
But Qin Luo'yan thought it was a bit late. If they really wanted to help her, why didn't they stand up when Ling Shu spoke just now Now that Qin Luo'yan had cleared her name, they were only speaking up. This seemed too after-the-fact.
Ling Su let out a cold snort, turned her back to the others and stopped speaking, as if observing the cave.
Qin Luoyan shook her head and continued to look around, but this cave was really too empty. It was so empty that she couldn't find anything unusual at all.
Suddenly, not just any wind came, extinguishing all the torches for a moment. Luckily, everyone quickly pulled out their fire starters and relit the torches.
"Who did it"
The torch was re-lit. The first to roar, surprisingly, was Ling Shu. His eyes were bloodshot, staring at the pool of crimson blood at his feet.
Before anyone could figure out what was happening, Ling Shu pointed at the pool of blood and roared, "My Ling family's second and third elders are gone! Who did this!"
