Yan Fanxin smiled and nodded, then led Uchiha Shin and the others inside.
This secret chamber had another passageway. They had to walk some distance farther in before they could reach the actual chamber.
The innermost secret chamber was not large. It was completely empty, with nothing inside.
"How are we supposed to search?" Uchiha Shin looked at Yan Fanxin.
Yan Fanxin froze for a moment, then shook his head. "My father only told me to enter the secret chamber. She didn't say how to search or what to look for."

After all that effort, they found nothing.
"Could the thing here have already been taken away? Is that why it's so empty?" Uchiha Shin said.
