The familiar name poured into their ears, repeated again and again.
Lu Chongsheng's expression changed. She held Chu Jianxiu down. "Don't move. Be careful—it could be the witchmen's scheme to lure us out."

With a crash, the earth split apart, and a stone chamber burst from the ground. It shook off the mud and black water in midair, revealing the very place where the couple had been hiding.
Others might not have known, but how could he not know where the stone chamber was
