Peerless Xiaolong

thump…

With a dull sound, Chu Yuan and Zhu Liuying landed smoothly and reached the bottom of the dry well.

What lay before Chu and Yuan was a secret passage they had never seen before.

Looking at the secret passage in front of her, a look of disappointment flashed deep in Zhu Liuying's eyes. She thought that just like before, the bottom of the well was connected to some kind of alien space.

But now it seems that this is completely different from what she thought.

"what happened?"

Chu Yuan noticed something strange about Zhu Liuying.

Zhu Liuying glared at Chu Yuan angrily and said, "Nothing, let's go."

After saying that, Zhu Liuying entered the secret passage without looking back. Looking at Zhu Liuying's back, Chu Yuan was puzzled for a while.

The secret passage is relatively cold, with a chill everywhere.

Chu Yuan looked around carefully with a flashlight and found that this secret passage was not naturally formed, and the walls were covered with traces of chiseling with tools.

"Who on earth would build a secret passage here?" Zhu Liuying also noticed the traces on the wall and couldn't help but sigh.

This secret passage is at least several hundred meters long. For ordinary people, it would take at least ten years to build this secret passage.

This also made Zhu Liuying even more suspicious of his identity as the man in black.

"We'll find out soon."

Chu Yuan smiled faintly and walked towards the depths of the secret passage.

The two walked for more than ten minutes and finally walked out of the secret passage.

A stone gate appeared in front of Chu and Yuan.

Looking at the stone gate in front of them, Chu Yuan and Zhu Liuying's expressions suddenly became solemn.

The two looked at each other, Chu Yuan took out the tiger thorn, and Zhu Liuying also came to the stone door.

Chu Yuan pointed at the stone gate and then at Zhu Liuying, meaning that the man in black was probably inside the stone gate and asked Zhu Liuying to be careful.

Zhu Liuying nodded slightly and stretched out his palm to push the stone door.

Click!

Accompanied by a sound.

The thick stone door was slowly pushed open by Zhu Liuying.

Chu Yuan turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed in. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, but he did not find the figure of the man in black.

"This…"

Zhu Liuying also walked in. When he saw the scene in the secret room, Zhu Liuying couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In the secret room, there are spiritual stones of different sizes piled up everywhere!

It looks densely packed and dazzling!

In addition, there is a stone bed and a generator in the secret room. It is obvious that someone has lived here.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Zhu Liuying felt that his brain was not enough.

This secret room is almost exactly the same as Cao Gong's tomb.

She originally thought that Cao Gong was the only one in the ancient tomb, but now it seems that there is another practitioner practicing here like Cao Gong!

Thinking of this, Zhu Liuying couldn't help but become nervous and looked around cautiously.

Chu Yuan came to the stone bed, reached out and touched it, and found that there was still warmth on the stone bed, indicating that the man in black had just stayed here.

"The stone bed is warm, which means the other party left not long ago."

Chu Yuan glanced at the spiritual stones piled in the corner, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

It seems that this is what I guessed. Besides Cao Gong, there are other practitioners practicing in the ancient tomb!

"Chu Yuan, who is that man in black? Could he be Cao Gong's accomplice?" Zhu Liuying asked.

If the other party is Cao Gong's accomplice, then she and Chu Yuan have to be careful.

What Zhu Liuying is really worried about is the strength of the man in black.

Chu Yuan said thoughtfully: "The other party should not be an accomplice of the man in black. If he and Cao Gong were an accomplice, there would be no need to build a separate secret room here. The reason why he did this should be that he did not want to People know.”

"However, it is undeniable that no matter who the other party is, he and Cao Gong must have some kind of connection."

Chu Yuan didn't know that there were cultivators in the world until he came into contact with Cao Gong.

The man in black had piled up so many spiritual stones in the room, and it was obvious that he planned to practice like Cao Gong.

Combining these two factors, a figure emerged in Chu Yuan's mind.

"Maybe... I know who the man in black is."

Chu Yuan frowned slightly and continued: "But I'm not sure. The feeling he gave me shouldn't be like this."

Seeing Chu Yuan muttering something to himself, Zhu Liuying asked, "Who do you suspect?"

Chu Yuan said solemnly: "Nanling, Chen Mingwu."

As soon as these words came out, a look of surprise flashed in Zhu Liuying's beautiful eyes.

"Chen Mingwu? Is he the son of Chen Guo in Nanling?"

"Impossible. You told me before that Chen Mingwu can't tell the difference between friend and foe, and he was beaten by you. How could he be a cultivator?" Zhu Liuying retorted.

This is also the only place where Chu Yuan is uncertain.

Judging from previous contacts with Chen Mingwu, Chen Mingwu is a typical brave and reckless man.

Even Chu Yuan didn't quite believe that the mysterious man in black was Chen Mingwu.

However, besides Chen Mingwu, Chu Yuan could not think of anyone else.

"First of all, we can be sure that the people who know this ancient tomb must have an inseparable relationship with the Cao family. After the Cao family was exterminated, there were only a handful of people who survived."

"Cao Bao and Cao Gong are also dead. Now the only ones who know about this ancient tomb, apart from us, are Chen Guo and his son from Nanling."

Chu Yuan's eyes flashed and he said: "One more thing. I didn't think anything of it before, but now that I think about it, Chen Mingwu had many abnormal behaviors. For example, when I went to find Chen Guo before, Chen Mingwu led the villagers to stop him in every possible way, and even He said he couldn’t let me know the secrets of the Cao family.”

"At that time, I thought he was afraid of Cao Gong and Cao Bao, and thought that I was not Cao Bao's opponent. Even if I knew, there would be nothing he could do. But now it seems that Chen Mingwu's purpose in stopping me was not because of Cao Bao, but because of himself! He! He doesn’t want us to discover his secret!”

After hearing Chu Yuan's analysis, Zhu Liuying also nodded slightly.

It has to be said that Chu Yuan's analysis is not unreasonable, and now it seems that Chen Mingwu is indeed full of doubts.

"If it is really Chen Mingwu, then how did he know how to practice through spiritual stones? Chen Guo was just a housekeeper in Chen Jia back then. He should not know so many secrets." Zhu Liuying asked with a frown.

Chu Yuan smiled half-heartedly and said, "You have to ask Chen Mingwu to find out about this, but I have an idea. What if Chen Guo is also a cultivator?"

Hearing this, Zhu Liuying looked at Chu Yuan with wide beautiful eyes and disbelief.

"You mean..."

A mysterious smile appeared on Chu Yuan's lips, and he began to examine Chen Guo and his son again.

Recalling the first time he met Chen Guo, Chen Guo gave Chu Yuan a hidden feeling. At that time, Chu Yuan thought it was his illusion.

But if Chen Guo is a cultivator, then everything makes sense!

"It is very likely that Chen Guo and his son are both cultivators, but I feel that they and Cao Gong are not the same group."

After the words fell, a cold sneer suddenly sounded.

"Jiejie, it seems you are smarter than I thought."

In an instant, an extremely cold breath spread throughout Zhu Liuying's body.

"Chu Yuan, be careful!"

A graceful and ghostly figure appeared in front of Chu Yuan. The person who came was none other than Chen Guo’s son, Chen Mingwu!
