Daughter Of Rebellious Minister

The weak light could not see the darkness in front of his eyes. In this chamber, which was a few dozen feet wide, only the surroundings could be seen. It was pitch black in front of him.

Meng Zixian heard Song Que's words and his heart skipped a beat, "Then, what do we do now?"

Song Que was very calm: "If I let go, maybe ten thousand arrows will fly at once, or maybe nothing will happen."

"Go to the door first and see if it can be opened." Song Que made his decision.

When Meng Zixian heard this, she ran back. There was no entrance to the secret passage, so she couldn't open it. Her heart thumped as she realized that someone was doing this on purpose.

She ran back. Needless to say, Song Qi also understood the situation. "You retreat, we'll bet."

Meng Zixian took the candle in Song Que's hand, hung it on a hook on the wall and stepped back ten meters.

Song Que turned his head and saw that she had left. He quickly raised his foot and at the same time, the mechanism under his feet made a cracking sound. There were hooks on both sides of Song Qi River. They hooked towards the opposite side and inserted into the wall.

"Sou Sou!" Several arrows were shot from behind through the gap in the hooks.

Song Que pulled out a short blade and quickly blocked this wave of attacks.

Meng Zixian's back was covered in cold sweat. If she hadn't been paying attention, she would have been stabbed to death by the hook.

After the mechanism was completed, the hook returned to its original position. Everything returned to its previous peaceful state.

Song Que and Meng Zixian looked at the black hole in front of them. The back road had been cut off, and they could only move forward now to find a chance of survival.

"Looks like someone wants us dead." Meng Zijue stood next to Song Que and murmured.

Song Que was silent. After a while, he said: "Do you want to continue gambling?"

When Meng Zixian heard this, she instantly smiled. "Do we still have a choice?"

After the two of them made up their minds, they took the lanterns and continued onward. Surprisingly, the path ahead of them was extremely peaceful. There weren't any traps. It was as though the hooks from before were fake.

The calmer it was, the more calm it was before the storm.

There was a stink in it that made one retch.

"What's the smell?" Meng Zixian pinched his nose and said softly,

There was only one person in front of the secret passage, a passage that was a few hundred meters long. After passing through, there was an empty path. A stool was placed in the middle, and the deeper one went, the more spacious it felt.

There was a small lake nearby, and in the middle of the lake, a few people were lying on the ground.

The two of them stopped here and observed the water for a long time.

Meng Zixian picked up a stone and threw it into the water.

"I'll go investigate." Meng Zixian performed her qinggong and pointed her toes on the water. The water rippled and a small splash appeared.

When she arrived at the center, she could tell with a single glance that it was someone from the Song Que River Sect, as well as Lingzhi. Now, they were all connected together and tied up here.

When Song Que came here, he had been observing the surroundings. This place was like the bottom of a huge well, but the sky couldn't be seen.

Those people were tied up, and the wires that connected them were extremely long. They were directly embedded into the surrounding walls, and from time to time, there would be a few 'drip' sounds, similar to the sound of water dripping.

Meng Zixian wanted to untie these people, but Song Qi said, "Don't move!"

"If you unlock it, there might be tens of thousands of arrows piercing your heart. No one will be able to escape."

Song Que stood on the shore and paced back and forth, his brows furrowed, hoping to see the difference.

"What do we do now?" Meng Zijue stood there, not knowing whether to go back or not.

She woke the tied up person up.

"Mistress, don't come over!" one of them shouted.

"They buried gunpowder here. Leave quickly!"

When Meng Zixian heard this, her pupils constricted.

These people had such vicious hearts.

Now they were in a dilemma. They couldn't leave and couldn't save anyone. If they touched the rope, then it would be a trap. If they didn't save him, then when would the gunpowder explode?

"Meng Zixian, get down there and see if there are any passageways for you!" He saw that in the corner of the lake, some bubbles were popping out from time to time.

"Why don't you go into the water!" Meng Zixian didn't want to take off her clothes. If her clothes got wet, her body would be revealed and she wouldn't feel good about it.

Song Que was silent. After a while, he said, "I don't know how to swim …"

If the situation didn't allow it, Meng Zixian would have laughed out loud. Holding back her laughter, she tied up her dress and went into the water without hesitation.

Opening her eyes underwater and entering her eyes was extremely uncomfortable. She endured the pain as she looked around her surroundings. However, it was pitch black below her and she couldn't see anything. An unknown fear surrounded her as well.

She stuck her head out and took a deep breath. "Go and find more and see if there are any candles. There's nothing to be seen down there!"

Song Que turned around and not long after, he found a few candles.

After it was all lit up, Meng Zixian held her breath, dived into the water, and headed towards the wall. She found a hole blocked.

When she surfaced again, Meng Zixian told Song Que about the situation.

Song Que used a movement technique and flew to the rock: "See if you can open it."

Meng Zixian ran down and found that the iron bars had been stuck there for a long time. They were a bit rusty, so she couldn't open them. She grabbed the Ice Moon by her side and tried to loosen her grip.

"We need to pull it together. I don't have enough strength!"

I'll cut the rope in the shortest time possible. Jump down as fast as you can.

Meng Zixian was also called up. When the time came for them to cut the rope together, she also noticed that the Lingzhi had not woken up yet and was now dead. However, there was a chain on her body that was locked onto one of their hands.

Meng Zixian and Song Qi looked at each other and cut the rope. The mechanism that had infiltrated the wall had triggered it. Countless arrows flew out and a huge stone appeared at the top of the hole …

The people up there all jumped into the water. As tens of thousands of arrows were shot down, stones started to fall from the sky. Everything happened in an instant.

The subordinate who was dragging the corpse of the lingzhi was killed by an arrow right in front of his heart. He was then hit by another stone and turned into mud. The stone collided with the stone and the stone was turned into a piece of stone that fell into the water.

Meng Zixian was hit on the shoulder by a stone flying into the water. She took a deep breath in pain, took one sip after another of the water, and her brain started to feel lack of oxygen.

A pair of hands grabbed her and pulled her toward him.

The others pulled the only exit with all their strength and finally opened it.

That tunnel entrance was like a magnet sucking water in. The person inside had been sucked in and moved along with the tunnel entrance to an unknown place.
