The soldier captain explained, “His Highness personally asked you two to come. He said that the two of you were kidnapped by human demons and survived by a miracle. You’re definitely not mortals, so he specially asked you to go over. He wants to see who has such luck.”
Cheng Yu’er s expression became even more serious. Just as she was about to say something else, the soldier captain reached out and cupped his hands. He said seriously, ’’Miss Cheng, this is Prince Jing’s decree. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”
Cheng Yu’er wanted to say more, but when she saw Lin Yan nod slightly, she nodded helplessly and agreed.
Since they couldn’t leave, they could only follow him in.
The people inside had clearly heard the commotion outside. Cao Yang, Hua Ling, and the female officer, who was Deputy Commander Yuan, walked out together.
Then, the fatty seemed to have received the news and appeared out of nowhere. He had already changed his clothes and was only standing at the other end of the team, a long distance away from Lin Yan.
After saying a few polite words, the group of soldiers took the lead and led a group of people forward.
Originally, soldiers like Lin Yan were not allowed to follow.
However, Cheng Yu’er reached out and grabbed Lin Yan’s palm. She snuggled beside him, causing the soldier captain to reveal a look of understanding. He gave Lin Yan a look that said, “Brother, you’re good.” Then, he ignored him.
Cheng Yu’er and Lin Yan stuck close to each other. To outsiders, they looked like a loving couple, but Lin Yan knew what she wanted to do. He immediately activated his Mind Connection Technique.
“Brother Thigh, my intuition is getting stronger!”
“So the source of the danger is really inside the city wall?”
Lin Yan glanced at Cao Yang and the fat man. “Do you know why they’re here?”
“I only know that they’re here to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. It’s said that Prince Jing is holding it. The winner will receive a generous reward! It’s said that they’re here for this reward.”
Tin afraid it s more than that… Anyway, let’s act according to the situation for the time being. From what I heard, there should be a martial arts competition. Perhaps they’ll split into groups or other processes. After we enter, we ll find an excuse to separate from them and not get involved with them.”
Cheng Yu’er nodded. The worry in her eyes did not dissipate because her intuition did not stop because of this. Instead, she sensed more danger.
However, with Brother Thigh by her side, even if it was dangerous, she could survive.
The group continued forward. Lin Yan took a few glances ahead. There were several similar teams in front, all led by soldiers. The group followed.
It was unknown if it was because they were delayed or because they had already arranged the order, but Lin Yan and the others were at the back of the team.
Soon, the group walked outside the sealed inner city wall. Then, they split into several teams and circled around the city wall in different directions.
On the brick city wall, there was no door that opened. They walked around the city wall for a while. The captain of the soldiers walked to the side of the city wall and reached out to touch the ground for a moment. Then, he pulled something and opened a hole in the ground.
“Why are you being so mysterious… Where are the others?” The fat man looked around and asked.
“The positions of the VIPs are different. The other VIPs have their own entrances.”
The captain explained patiently. Then, he instructed the soldiers to retreat to the side and gestured with his hand. “Distinguished guests, please enter. Follow the passageway and walk straight. At the end is your observation platform.”
The fatty frowned, but Cao Yang clearly knew the rules. He explained, “The inner city wall has high-end technology from the imperial capital, so it can’t be opened. It’s the rule to circle around underground.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
After saying that, the fatty took the lead and squeezed into the passageway, quickly disappearing.
“Aren’t you guys going in?”
Cheng Yu’er turned to look at the captain.
“Only VIPs can enter the interior of this place. We are not qualified to enter… Yan Sifang, you can only accompany us here. After the Martial Arts Tournament, you can come and pick us up!”
Cheng Yu er’s wrist tightened, but Lin Yan squeezed her hand and said, “Okay.”
Lin Yan stood outside and watched as Cheng Yu’er followed the group down the passageway. The soldiers immediately sealed the passageway and solemnly guarded it.
The captain heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Lin Yan with an ambiguous smile. “Yan Sifang, right? Good move. You hooked up with a young lady. Aren’t you going to chat with us and share it?”
Lin Yan shook his head. “Is that all? Then I’ll leave first.”
“Hey, wait, wait… F*ck! A big-headed soldier, what are you being so arrogant for!”
Lin Yan quickly walked to a place they could not see and immediately dived underground. He chased after Cheng Yu’er and quickly dived. Soon, he touched a thick steel wall.
The entire passageway was actually sealed with steel plates.
He took out his Savage Flame Saber and dug out a human-sized hole. Then, he walked into the passageway and embedded the steel plate he dug back.
The voice in front was not far away. Lin Yan chased them a few steps and heard the fatty’s wretched laughter again. “Tsk tsk tsk, your lover is gone, right? Let me see who can save you now!”
Lin Yan:
His figure immediately flashed.
The passageway here was narrow. Zhu Laojiu, who was standing in front of Cheng Yu’er, did not react at all. He was forced behind by Lin Yan and punched the fatty’s back again.
BOOM!
A violent wind instantly blew in the narrow passageway. The clothes on Fatty’s back suddenly exploded, and his body shot out like a round cannonball. He directly collided with the steel wall in front of him, causing the entire steel wall to cave in.
“Why don’t you learn your lesson?!” After Lin Yan threw a punch, he didn’t continue. On the one hand, it wasn’t easy to lull him, and on the other hand, the situation was unclear. He had to conserve his strength.
Bang!
Zhu Laojiu pressed his hands against the steel wall and pulled himself out. The fat on his body tightened and bulged as he roared, “Yan Sifang! ”
Lin Yan said coldly, “Do you want to fight? I don’t mind fighting.”
“You’re courting death!”
“Wait!”
Cao Yang hurriedly stood out again between the two of them. “Zhu Laojiu! Don’t forget what we re here for!”
Zhu Laojiu was furious. He panted and suddenly shouted angrily. He turned around and punched the steel wall, causing it to crack and cave in instantly. The entire passageway seemed to tremble.
“Damn it, damn it!”
Without even turning his head, he rushed out.
“He ran away again. What a coward…” Lin Yan said coldly.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Cao Yang’s eyes. “Brother Yan, stop talking. Let’s go, let’s go quickly. The Martial Arts Tournament will probably begin soon!”
Lin Yan gave Cheng Yu’er a look and asked casually, “What’s the purpose of President Cao participating in the Martial Arts Tournament?”
“Of course it’s for the reward.” Cao Yang did not even turn his head.
“Flower-Picking Orchid Jade Fruit?”
“Exactly.”
“But I heard that the Flower-Picking Orchid Jade Fruit is a Spirit Transformation Unusual Item. It’s only used to plant Spirit Marrow. Do you guys want to plant Spirit Marrow too?”
Cao Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks and slowed down. He turned around and looked at Lin Yan deeply. “Brother Yan, you’re so knowledgeable. You even know the effect of the Flower-Picking Orchid Jade Fruit.”
Lin Yan said seriously, “So, can you tell me what your motive is?”
Cao Yang smiled pretentiously. “Of course… it’s for the Flower-Picking Orchid Jade Fruit!”
Lin Yan immediately shut his mouth. Cao Yang was obviously lying to him, so he stopped asking.
This underground passage was actually a little too long. The few of them walked for a long time before finally reaching the end. It was an empty room. It was completely made of metal and there were copper lamps installed on the top. However, other than that, there was nothing else.
“Wait, where’s Zhu Laojiu?”
Lin Yan’s expression darkened. He could see the room in front of him at a glance. There were no doors or additional rooms, but Zhu Laojiu’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a clear sound of mechanical structures turning and coupling sounded, and everyone’s bodies shook slightly.
Below, the floor made of steel suddenly began to tremble and rise!
“There’s a trap!”
At the same time, countless silver sharp steel spikes suddenly extended from the steel roof above. The spikes were smeared with a thick green liquid. It was obvious that they were poisonous and were aimed at the people below!
The floor was raised very quickly. In an instant, it approached the top above. The sharp steel spikes were so close that they were about to pierce holes!
“We’ve been tricked!1’
Cheng Yu’er, Lin Yan, and Hua Ling’s expressions changed. Cao Yang’s change in expression was the most obvious. His face turned pale almost instantly, and his entire body trembled.
irF*ck! Trap! It’s a trap! F*ck!”
