Sun Lingtong's Perilous Exploration of Rinsing Jade Retreat

The transmission chamber within Rinsing Jade Retreat was not large either.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all inscribed with a great number of intricate array patterns.

Sun Lingtong stepped out of the magic array and came before the only door.

He did not immediately push it open. Instead, he cautiously employed theft arts to probe the world beyond the door.

Only after using five different detection methods in succession did he confirm that the door was safe.

He took a deep breath and sent Ning Zhuo a divine sense transmission. "Little Zhuo, I'm opening the door."

A Life Hanging by a Thread had always connected Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo nodded inwardly and replied, "I'm ready."

The big-headed youth was in the cave dwelling at Embrace Vine Cliff, fully focused.

Rinsing Jade Retreat had been his mother's cave dwelling before her death. Naturally, Ning Zhuo wished he could explore it himself. But reason had led him to make the more sensible arrangement.

Sun Lingtong's cultivation was higher than his, and he had mastered many theft arts. All these factors made Sun Lingtong the more suitable choice for an expedition.

During the battle at the River of Forgetfulness Underworld, Sun Lingtong had even penetrated deep behind enemy lines, entered the capital of One Nation, wreaked tremendous havoc, and departed without a care. That feat had greatly affected the Altar Battlefield.

Though he had relied on their senior fellow disciple Zeng Jide, if Ning Zhuo had been placed in Sun Lingtong's position at the time, he definitely could not have matched her performance.

Sun Lingtong was suited to exploring at the front, while Ning Zhuo was better suited to covering the rear.

There was no one more suitable than him!
