The Door Was Shut to Catch the Dogs

The area north of Guangling's outskirts had become a desolate wilderness after the city center shifted southward. The sewer network in the area had also fallen out of use.

Yet when Luo Yan entered the underground sewers, he was surprised to find the air wasn't stuffy. He didn't know whether the ventilation system was still operating or if Golden Rat Investment had brought in its own fans.

The sewers were pitch-black, but faint lights could be seen in the distance.

Luo Yan tilted his head and listened, but detected nothing. He then activated Insightful Silver Eyes. As rings of silver light appeared in his eyes, the darkness before him receded, and the world was reduced to black and white.

As black lines outlined the complex structure of the sewer network, Luo Yan also saw the gray light of several living creatures. This confirmed his direction. Activating the secret technique Nether Gate Opening, he moved silently through the deep underground network.

At first, the underground network had only a single electric lamp every great distance.

But as Luo Yan gradually drew closer to the gray lights, the number of lamps began to increase. Still, to Luo Yan, who possessed Insightful Silver Eyes, it made little difference whether there were any lights or not.

With no one left to maintain it, the underground sewer occasionally contained collapsed sections. Large amounts of mud, sand, and rubble blocked the passages, forcing Luo Yan to detour around the obstacles.

Fortunately, since the place was no longer in use, it had become very dry and contained no foul smells. Only the occasional rat appeared.

When Luo Yan reached a fork in the passage, he could already feel clear air currents. Breezes continuously blew from the depths, making the air here fresher than before.
