Chapter 97: Secret Passage

“Elder Jing, you can rest assured that I will use my utmost ability to try and get the inheritance so please save those Stomach Killer for others,” Yang Wei clenched his hand into a fist and pounded on his chest to show that he was serious.

Elder Jing was dumbfounded about his behavior being over the top.

‘Is my Stomach Killer really this deadly for Yang Wei to act like this?’ Elder Jing pondered inwardly before dashing ahead to the Pagoda.

Yang Wei didn’t lag behind as he followed closely behind Elder Jing before stopping in front of the tip of the Pagoda.

Although it was a tip, the sheer size of it was enough to call it a mansion instead of a tip.

The Pagoda may have been flipped over but it was massive enough for it to almost reach the sky.

‘Just how can anyone store this massive pagoda?’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing walked around the area, almost like she was looking for something.

Yang Wei was confused since there was a door in front of them yet Elder Jing seemed to disregard it.

‘There must be another entrance since Elder Jing doesn’t seem too eager about entering inside through here.’ Yang Wei walked away from the entrance and followed behind Elder Jing.

Elder Jing merely glanced at Yang Wei briefly before smiling.

“I’m glad you aren’t being hasty in entering inside.” Elder Jing said softly and continued.

“Although that door is indeed an entrance to the Pagoda, it would bring you to a very difficult place. After all, that entrance would bring you to a difficult trial where trying to ascend further is full of danger. Meanwhile, the place I’m currently looking for would be a shortcut to bypass those trials.

“You mean that door we saw is a decoy and bait for greedy cultivators?” Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in surprise when the Pagoda was this sneaky.

Elder Jing nodded her head before curving her lips upward as she placed her hand in a seemingly small drawing in the Pagoda.

CLICK!

A clicking sound was heard when Elder Jing used some strength to push it down and a rumbling sound could be heard as the Pagoda slowly opened a small entrance for Elder Jing.

“This is the mechanism that I managed to find out as a reward for reaching the top floor even though I was unqualified for the technique.” Elder Jing smiled bitterly as she entered inside.

Yang Wei understood her disappointment but he didn’t know how to console a woman’s feelings so he merely kept quiet as he entered inside shortly after.

Once Yang Wei and Elder Jing entered, the secret entrance closed down with the mechanism vanishing, meaning no one else can follow Elder Jing’s example to open this door.

Meanwhile, the place they’ve entered is so dark that Elder Jing has to use her flame to brighten up the environment.

However, the next moment, the flame was dissipated and Elder Jing narrowed her gaze at this phenomenon.

“Yang Wei, hold my hand tightly otherwise, we might get separated,” Elder Jing quickly said as she stretched her hand out.

Yang Wei quickly stretched his hand out as well before touching Elder Jing’s smooth hand tightly.

Afterward, Elder Jing walked slowly while being extremely careful with the steps and tried to use her spiritual sense to detect the surroundings.

Alas, her spiritual sense seemed to be restricted here.

“What is going on with this Pagoda? The last time I was here, there was no such restriction and the environment is too dark for the naked eye to see.” Elder Jing muttered as she couldn’t understand why the difficulty increased so much.

‘C-Could it be that the pagoda knew about my achievement from before and is deliberately making things difficult for me?’ Elder Jing pondered inwardly.

“Elder Jing, there’s a secret passage here,” Yang Wei suddenly shouted in surprise as he stopped in a path.

“A-A secret passage?” Elder Jing was dumbfounded to hear Yang Wei’s words.

She walked past the area where Yang Wei was stopping and she couldn’t even see any secret passage so she was confused about how Yang Wei managed to find it.

“Yang Wei, you can see properly?” Elder Jing asked softly.

Yang Wei didn’t know about Elder Jing’s vision being limited because he didn’t manage to hear Elder Jing muttering about her saying the environment was too dark.

Thus, Yang Wei answered back in an innocent tone, “Un, I can see the entire path without any problems and the secret passage was pretty visible so I was wondering if this was a trap.”

Yang Wei wanted to make sure if the secret passage was another trap or decoy to lure the cultivators inside so he tried to ask Elder Jing for information.

Elder Jing held a disbelief expression as she stood in front of Yang Wei before staring at him solemnly.

“Are you telling me that your vision was extremely clear?” Elder Jing asked stutteringly.

Yang Wei nodded and answered truthfully, causing Elder Jing to twitch her mouth slightly.

“Then why didn’t you tell me from the start and even hold my hand. Did you hide it on purpose so you can have skin contact with me?” Elder Jing started accusing Yang Wei of purposely hiding the information about his vision being clear in order to hold her hand.

However, Yang Wei was extremely confused as he thought Elder Jing’s vision was clear like him but was just being cautious so she recommended holding hands as insurance.

When Elder Jing saw Yang Wei’s innocent tone without any sign of lying, she stumbled slightly.

‘I-Is this the reason that mysterious shadow asked for a Qi Condensation realm?’ Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as she swallowed some of her saliva nervously.

Afterward, she cleared her throat softly and apologized for accusing him without any solid evidence.

“Yang Wei, since your vision is clear then you will lead the way where I will watch our behind.” Elder Jing said and decided to take a risk in entering the secret passage.

“I’m going to cast a spatial barrier around us just in case there are some traps in the secret passage,” Elder Jing added as she cast a barrier around them.

Yang Wei saw the thick barrier surrounding them as he slowly took the first step inside the secret passage.
