Zhang Yuanlin's Disappearance, the Passage That Could Block Mental Power, and the Altar Leading to the Heavenly Realm
After solving the four Ye Wudao, return to the top of the mountain where the Zhang Family villa is located.
Li Huai and nine other people are already waiting there.
Ye Wudao asked Li Huai: "Has everything been solved?"
Li Huai shook his head and said, "We checked, Zhang Family still has several direct descendants who are not present today."
"Including Zhang Jianye's second son, Zhang Yuanlin."
Ye Wudao frowned. "Zhang Yuanlin? He's not here?"
Only then did he remember that to destroy Zhang Family was not only to avenge Great Master, but also to avenge the second master.
The second master's enemy is Zhang Yuanlin.
Li Huai nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's strange. According to the information we got, Zhang Family hosted a banquet for Liu Tianyuan today, and Zhang Yuanlin was present."
"However, we just checked the Zhang Family list of people who died in the Zhang Family villa, and we did not see Zhang Yuanlin."
"We have found out the whereabouts of several other direct descendants of the Zhang Family."
"Only this Zhang Yuanlin, we have used all the intelligence networks, but we still can't find him."
"Intelligence shows that after he entered Azure Dragon Mountain today, he never left again!"
Ye Wudao frowned slightly and asked, "Have you checked carefully? Zhang Family Is there a dark room in the villa? Is he hiding somewhere?"
The bald man responded, "We have checked every place we can. We even visited the Zhang Family wine cellar and found no trace of Zhang Yuanlin."
Ye Wudao nodded slightly, glanced at the Zhang Family villa, and said solemnly, "You guys wait here, I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, he flew to the top of the Zhang Family Villa, and his powerful spiritual power directly covered the entire Zhang Family Villa.
He used his mental power to carefully search every room in the Zhang Family villa.
From the top of the villa, to the first floor of the villa, to the basement of the villa, there was no sign of any living person.
Seeing this situation, he whispered softly, "Is it true that you are not here?"
"But, could such a big person just disappear out of thin air?"
He knew that with Azure Dragon Gang's intelligence network, it was very simple to find out the whereabouts of several people.
Li Huai knew that Zhang Family was coming tonight. When he was at the Li Family's villa and manor, he had already ordered Azure Dragon Gang's intelligence department to start working.
Since the intelligence department saw Zhang Yuanlin entering Azure Dragon Mountain, it did not see Zhang Yuanlin leave Azure Dragon Mountain.
That means Zhang Yuanlin should still be inside Azure Dragon Mountain.
Otherwise, Azure Dragon Gang's intelligence department can't even handle such a big living person, so it can be disbanded on the spot.
Thinking of this, he tried to continue to spread his mental power.
With his current mental strength, he can view the situation within a five-kilometer radius.
Suddenly, a faint fluctuation was captured by his mental power.
It's not movement or sound, but a faint breath of life.
The source of this fluctuation is the basement below the villa.
He mentally scanned the basement with some doubts. This was a place for storing sundries. The space was very open and it was impossible to hide people.
The mental power continued to sweep, but still nothing was found.
"Strange! What kind of fluctuation was that just now?"
"Rat?"
Ye Wudao frowned, preparing to withdraw his mental power and attack Azure Dragon Mountain.
At this moment, that trace of fluctuation came again.
This time, he felt it very clearly. The trace of life fluctuation came from under a large wooden barrel in the corner of the basement.
However, when he concentrated all his mental energy on the barrel, the fluctuation disappeared again.
Not believing in evil, he controlled his mental power and prepared to move the barrel.
With a little effort, the barrel was not moved.
Seeing this scene, he knew that there was something fishy about the barrel, and he began to violently move the barrel with his mental strength.
"Crunch, crunch..."
However, the barrel seemed to be fixed on the ground. As he pulled it with his mental power, the barrel made an obscure sound.
Ye Wudao frowned slightly and snorted, "So you are hiding here!"
He was afraid that the barrel was some kind of mechanism, so he didn't pull hard on the barrel.
Now that he discovered the abnormality of the barrel, he directly crushed it violently, and the barrel exploded with a "bang", turning into sawdust flying in the air.
"Strange! It's nothing!"
But when the barrel exploded, only a pool of clear water flowed out, and nothing else.
The reason why the barrel cannot be moved is because the bottom of the barrel is glued to the ground.
On the ground, there were no mechanisms or secret passages.
This made Ye Wudao a little confused. After struggling for a long time, there was nothing inside or under the barrel.
He shook his head helplessly, and his mental strength slowly shrank.
At this moment, that strange life fluctuation appeared again.
This time, Ye Wudao felt it really clearly. The trace of life fluctuation came from the floor under the barrel.
He frowned slightly and tried to use his mental power to penetrate the ground in that area.
However, it had no effect and the mental strength could not be lowered.
It was this time when his mental power was lowered that he discovered a very strange phenomenon.
His mental power can reach about three meters underground. Although there is cement and mud below, he can still feel a slight change in the ground.
However, the land under the barrel firmly blocked his mental power from the outside, and his mental power could not penetrate downwards at all.
"Can it block the penetration of spiritual power?"
Ye Wudao realized this time that everything just now was not an illusion, but that there was something special about the ground under the barrel in front of him.
Knowing that his mental power didn't work, he directly withdrew his mental power, then flew down to the villa and shouted to Li Huai and the others, "Everyone, follow me to the basement!"
After saying that, he walked directly towards the basement, and Li Huai ten people followed his footsteps to the basement.
As soon as he entered the basement, Ye Wudao came to the broken barrel. Looking at the base of the barrel, he stretched out his hand behind him and whispered, "Knife!"
The bald man handed him the big knife in his hand. He inserted the knife directly between the barrel and the floor, and then pried it hard, and the base of the barrel was pried up.
Then, he lightly tapped the floor with the back of his knife.
"Dong dong..."
When two crisp sounds rang out, Ye Wudao knew that he had guessed correctly. There was indeed a space below, and it was made of special materials. This material could isolate the space from the detection of mental power.
"Everyone stand back!"
Ye Wudao said softly, and after everyone retreated, he raised the big knife in his hand and slashed it down.
"Ding!"
"Crack!"
The big knife broke with a sound, and the tip of the knife was bounced away, but there was nothing on the floor, only a trace of white marks.
Ye Wudao looked at the floor curiously. Not only could this thing be isolated from mental viewing, it was also hard in texture.
The knife in his hand was also made of half Meteorite Iron, and it actually shattered.
He handed his hand to the bald man and said softly, "Let Li Huai buy you another one then!"
Then, he looked at the other nine people and said in a deep voice, "Look for the switch. There is a secret space below. Zhang Yuanlin should be hiding in it."
Li Huai The ten of them, after hearing what Ye Wudao said, began to look around for the switch.
Otherwise, it would have to be Li Huai.
Li Huai just glanced at the bronze deer head statue on the wall and realized that the statue was abnormal.
After some research, he broke off the statue's antlers.
"Crack!"
"Boom boom boom..."
There was a soft sound, followed by the sound of violent gear rotation.
Slowly, the piece of ground that was originally pressed down by the wooden board slowly rose up, revealing the secret passage below.
A steep staircase slowly extended downwards. It was pitch black inside and it was impossible to see how deep it was.
"Get a flashlight!"
Ye Wudao came to the secret passage and gave instructions.
Everyone looked around and found seven or eight flashlights.
Ye Wudao took the lead and walked in front, Li Huai followed behind him, looking at the walls of the secret passage on both sides.
After walking for a while, Li Huai said softly, "Gang leader, this secret passage is a bit strange. It doesn't look like it was dug over the years."
"These excavation traces are at least hundreds of years old, maybe thousands of years old."
Ye Wudao nodded slightly and continued to move forward, while at the same time exploring down the secret passage with his mental power.
The lower his mental strength was, the more frightened he became.
This secret passage is at least a thousand meters long. There is a door at the end of the secret passage that blocks his mental inspection. It should also be made of that special material.
If according to Li Huai, this secret passage was built by the ancients hundreds of years ago, how much manpower would it cost?
He asked Li Huai behind him, "Didn't you Azure Dragon Gang discover this secret passage when you were here before?"
Li Huai shook his head and said, "At that time, we were on Azure Dragon Mountain, and we did not build a villa or dig out a basement."
Ye Wudao nodded and continued walking down.
A few minutes later, a stone door appeared in front of him, and from the gap in the stone door, there was a faint wave of life.
He put his hand on the Shimen Mountain and pushed it gently, and the Shimen slowly opened.
The moment he opened the stone door, a faint light shone on his face.
Behind the stone door is a small space, which is not big, only about the size of a bedroom.
In the center of the entire space, there is a small stone platform similar to an altar.
And standing on the stone platform was a middle-aged man, none other than Zhang Yuanlin.
When Zhang Yuanlin saw Ye Wudao leading someone in, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he said extremely calmly, "I didn't expect that you guys found me here!"
"When my father asked me to build this villa, I dug this secret passage. Even my father didn't know there was such a place under the villa."
After saying that, he paused, looked at Ye Wudao and said with a smile, "Ye Wudao, do you know where this place is?"
Ye Wudao frowned slightly, why did he feel that Zhang Yuanlin was a little abnormal?
Zhang Yuanlin saw that Ye Wudao was silent and laughed, "Haha! This is Ancient Heaven-Sacrifice Site, the entrance to the Heavenly Realm."
"It's just that this altar was only used once and then buried."
"I also searched for information for a long time before I found this!"
After saying that, he stared at Ye Wudao and shouted, "Ye Wudao! When I ascend to the Heavenly Realm and succeed in cultivation, it will be your death when I return!"
Then, he looked at the altar at his feet and murmured crazily, "Almost! Alright! I'm going to ascend Heavenly Realm and become a god!"
