C1138 It's Confusing

Lin Yuchen's concerns were right. There was indeed a mechanism here, and it had been triggered before.

Bamboo arrows were scattered all over the ground in the secret tunnel not far from the entrance.

"It seems like someone has been here before. " Xu Zifann said, "And he is an outsider. At least he is not familiar with the mechanisms here. "

"Indeed. " Lin Yuchen nodded and said, "There are broken arrows at the end of the alley. It means that this person broke through. "

"Hey, master, look, look. . . " As soon as Lin Yuchen finished speaking, he heard Xu Zifann suddenly shout.

Lin Yuchen was stunned and looked in the direction Xu Zifann pointed. "A torch? Coincidentally, it was so dark inside. If he did not light a torch, it would not be possible. "

"No. " Xu Zifann shook his head. "What I mean is that it's a new wood. It shouldn't take much time to break it down. "

"Hmm?" Lin Yuchen suddenly realized. " That's right, I didn't even notice that it was a new wood. "

"Yes. " Xu Zifann nodded. "This was obviously taken from somewhere else after the old Thousand Corpses Myriad Poisons Powder was broken. "

"That's right. Otherwise, it would have been rotten a long time ago. " Lin Yuchen's body was trembling for some reason. "It must have been left by the murderer. I will go and get it. "

"Aye, be careful. It's a trap. " Xu Zifann quickly reminded, "Besides, I. . . I don't think there are any clues on it. "

"I know. " Lin Yuchen nodded his head. "Didn't you want to start a fire? Don't worry, I am not stupid. " After saying that, he took a step forward and took out the Sword Flower Rain God Whip from his waist to pick it up.

After the fire was lit, he continued to walk forward.

Fortunately, the setup of this mechanism wasn't too ruthless. At the very least, it was a piece of cake for an expert of the Tang Sect like Lin Yuchen.

After going back and forth for a few rounds, the two of them finally arrived at an "underground palace. "

This place wasn't considered big, but it wasn't small either.

The underground palace was filled with gold and silver treasures. There were pearls, jade, jade, and agates everywhere. There were also many things that were extremely precious. It wasn't an exaggeration to describe them as priceless.

Looking at everything in the underground palace, Xu Zifann was stunned. "I really didn't expect that Sword Sect would hide such a place. Could it be because of the treasure inside?"

"That's not right. " Lin Yuchen shook his head. "It doesn't look like someone has touched the things inside. Look, they are all neatly arranged. . . . Look at that. . . " After saying that, he pointed at a stone platform not far away.

And looking at that stone platform, it was precisely located in the center of the underground palace. It was pure white, and its entire body was carved with cloud dragon patterns. Under the contrast of the house's gold and silver, it appeared extremely luxurious and dignified.

Compared to the stone platform, the things on the stone platform were more eye-catching. There was an iron box, which was embedded with gemstones. There were eight iron chains tied to the iron box, which were connected to the other eight stone pillars around the stone pillar.

"These eight pillars were arranged in the shape of the Eight Trigrams Formation. " Lin Yuchen said, "There must be a very big mechanism hidden inside. If I'm not wrong, once this mechanism is triggered, it will destroy the entire secret chamber in an instant. "

"This. . . Is this powerful?" Xu Zifann couldn't help but ask.

"En!" Lin Yuchen nodded. "But from the design of the secret passage, I think the mechanism here shouldn't be that easy to activate. " He turned around and looked at Xu Zifann. "Why don't you go out first?"

"Let's go together. " Xu Zifann replied.

"Well. . . " Lin Yuchen hesitated.

"Let's go together. " Xu Zifann said, "Look carefully. Don't trigger the mechanism. "

"This. . . Okay. " Lin Yuchen thought for a moment and did not insist. Immediately, he sized up the few tall platforms in front of him. "I think it's fine. " However, he heard Lin Yuchen say, "I think this mechanism will only be activated when the iron box and the tall platform are destroyed and the iron chains are destroyed. "

"That's good. " Xu Zifann could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"But you have to be careful. " He then heard Lin Yuchen say, "It's inevitable that I will make a mistake as well. You stay outside now. I will go in first. If there's nothing else, you can follow me in. Also, if something happens. . . You run outside as fast as you can, leave me alone. After all, you know my Lightness Skill. And in this situation, you have to take care of me. I will take care of you. It'll only waste some unnecessary time. "

"Alright. I know" Xu Zifann replied.

Lin Yuchen nodded, then took a deep breath and carefully walked towards the tall platform.

Nothing happened, nothing happened the entire time, all the way to the side of the iron box.

"Did you find anything?" Xu Zifann could not help asking when he saw Lin Yuchen standing there quietly, looking down for a long time without saying a word or moving.

"No. " Lin Yuchen replied.

"Then. . . " Xu Zifann immediately took a step forward. When Lin Yuchen left just now, Xu Zifann saw it clearly and remembered it clearly. Not to mention every step he took, he didn't even forget which step was light.

"You don't have to come over. " Unfortunately, before Xu Zifann took two steps, he heard Lin Yuchen say. After saying that, he turned around and strode to Xu Zifann's side.

Lin Yuchen's reaction surprised Xu Zifann.

"The box has been opened. " Before Xu Zifann could ask anything, he heard Lin Yuchen say, "I saw it too. There are no traps around. It's just an iron box. No matter how hard I look, I can't find anything. "

" This. . . "

"[The thing inside has already been taken away. ]" Lin Yuchen said again.

"Ah?" Xu Zifann was shocked. "Was there something inside?"

"I guess so. " Lin Yuchen replied with a frown. He remained silent and did not move. After a long time. . .

"Then did you see any clues? Did you find any clues?" Xu Zifann finally couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Yuchen's reaction.

"No. " Lin Yuchen shook his head.

"This. . . Sigh!" Xu Zifann could not help sighing. "Then let's find another way. "

"No need. "

"Ah?"

"I already know who the murderer is. " Lin Yuchen said.

"What?" Xu Zifann was stunned once again.

"Actually, I have long suspected him. " He heard Lin Yuchen say again, "I just didn't dare to make a decision, because I never knew why I wanted to kill my father. He knew about my father's injuries. He won't be able to live for long. Does he have a deep grudge with my dad? Our Sword Sect is already in such a state. There's no need for him to add insult to injury. But now I understand. "

"Ah? What's the reason?" Xu Zifann asked hastily.

"The thing in the box. " Lin Yuchen answered.

"This. . . Do you know what is hidden in the box?" Xu Zifann couldn't help but ask again, "Did Master Ancestor tell you?"
