119 Exploring the Secret Chamber

Kong Rui stood rooted to the ground in a daze while feeling the abundant spiritual energy constantly surging from a certain direction.

At this moment, Kong Rui suddenly felt someone beside her.

She was stunned for a moment before relaxing.

The person who appeared beside her was none other than Chao Bai.

“Let’s go. That’s the place!” As Chao Bai spoke, he led the way towards the place with abundant spiritual energy.

After Kong Rui looked around, she was immediately puzzled. “There’s actually no one guarding such a place where secret treasures are hidden?”

Chao Bai shrugged. “Of course there are! But I found them troublesome, so I temporarily immobilized them!”

Kong Rui stopped in her tracks. After a while, she followed behind Chao Bai in amusement.

Because of the huge change in the Li family, most of the guards with higher cultivation levels were sent to guard the corners of the Li family’s residence and take care of the masters of the Li family. Another portion of them kept an eye on Yin Ling, as if they were afraid that Yin Ling would cause trouble in the residence.

In this way, the place where the secret treasures were hidden became the least secure place in the Li family’s residence.

Kong Rui followed Chao Bai to the door of the secret chamber and frowned when she saw the indentation on the door.

“How do we enter this chamber?” Kong Rui looked at the heavy stone door. There was nothing else on it except an indentation.

If they destroyed the stone door now and entered, they would definitely alarm the Li family’s patriarchs and elders. At that time, not to mention finding the secret technique, it wouldn’t be easy for them to escape either.

However, they had already come this far. If they didn’t enter, Kong Rui would feel even more rueful!

Just as she was hesitating, Chao Bai took out a black stone and placed it in the indentation.

The dark red gas on the stone spread along the indentation to the entire stone door, as if it wanted to wrap the entire stone door with the gas.

After a while, the stone door creaked and slowly rose from the bottom.

After Kong Rui saw the scene in front of her, she turned to look at Chao Bai. “Why do you have the key to this secret chamber?”

“I got it by chance.”

Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui felt that he was definitely hiding something, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on these things. She had to get this done quickly!

She held Chao Bai’s hand as she quickly entered the secret chamber to search for the secret technique she was looking for.

There were a total of four large and small chambers in the secret chamber. In each chamber, there were a few wooden shelves and dozens of wooden boxes.

Kong Rui searched the wooden shelves for places where secret techniques might be placed, but she only found some top-secret cultivation techniques that had been out of circulation for a long time.

Chao Bai also casually flipped through those things, as if he disdained these things that the Li family regarded as treasures.

Kong Rui searched, but didn’t find what she wanted. She was immediately disappointed.

Seeing her like this, Chao Bai said, “Why don’t we bring some cultivation technique treasures back so that we won’t have to make a wasted trip?”

Kong Rui frowned. She couldn’t accept this outcome.

She flipped through the wooden shelves again and opened the wooden box that might contain the secret technique to see if there were any secret compartments.

However, after searching again, there was still nothing.

Just as Kong Rui was about to give up, she hammered a wooden box beside her, but green ash fell from the top of her head.

Kong Rui looked up, but didn’t see anything unusual.

She thought for a moment and punched the wooden box again. Dust continued to fall.

This place was made of solid rock. Every part of it was seamless. How could there be green ash falling from above?

Could it be that there were other secret compartments here?

Kong Rui immediately jumped up on the wooden box under her feet and stabbed the knife in her hand into the rock wall at the top, hanging herself in midair.
