Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Without waiting for Bai Mengning to finish her inner monologue, a surge of power rushed towards her.

White Mengning stumbled into the (Life) door.

If someone were to see her face at this moment, they would notice extreme tension on her expression.

She quickly stabilized herself, keeping her senses sharp and her head low, carefully watching her steps.

Inside this underground passage, Gu Qingluan realized her spiritual awareness was limited. She was only able to sense within a radius of about ten yards.

She noticed Bai Mengning’s movements and lowered her head.

Bai Mengning wasn’t walking in a straight line.

Gu Qingluan’s eyes flickered slightly as she reminded Feng Tianlan, “Follow the path Bai Mengning took. Make sure you take the same step as her.”

The underground passage was eerily quiet, and their footsteps sounded particularly clear.

After who knows how long, they finally reached the end of the passage.

Bai Mengning breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

A white figure abruptly dashed out from the opposite direction and landed in front of Bai Mengning.

No!

Bai Mengning screamed silently, panicked and desperate to escape the passage.

She had forgotten that she was bound by Gu Qingluan and couldn’t take more than a couple of steps.

Gu Qingluan’s attention was immediately drawn to the unexpected appearance of Xiao Bai. “Xiao Bai?”

“Squeak!”

Xiao Bai looked at her with shiny eyes and, after landing, was about to jump towards her.

Boom!

Countless hidden weapons shot out from the walls, both left and right, and from above and below.

Everyone was within range of the projectiles.

Xiao Bai sensed the danger and was instantly terrified, causing its fur to stand on end.

Gu Qingluan’s eyes sharpened, and the golden silkworm threads wrapped around Bai Mengning loosened. Instead, they encircled Xiao Bai’s body. She then waved her hand, releasing a burst of white light towards the concealed weapons.

Feng Tianlan acted swiftly too. He immediately set up a barrier around them. The hidden weapons hit the barrier and created dazzling vortexes.

But Bai Mengning was exposed to the range of the projectiles!

She couldn’t use her arcane power and had no way to defend against the hidden weapons.

Was she going to die here today?

Despair filled Bai Mengning’s eyes.

Although Gu Qingluan threatened Bai Mengning, she didn’t actually want to take her life before uncovering the truth.

Seeing Bai Mengning about to be swallowed by the hidden weapons, Gu Qingluan cast a protective light around her.

Bai Mengning was momentarily stunned.

Then, she was distracted by a mechanism that was triggered, stealing away all her focus.

Gu Qingluan had not anticipated that triggering one mechanism would set off a series of ambushes.

Feng Tianlan and Gu Qingluan were in a confined space and couldn’t move freely.

Moreover, both of them remembered not to tread on the ground carelessly, so they could only stay in place or leap up to avoid it.

Gu Qingluan pulled Bai Mengning close and, in passing, tapped her neck.

“How can we get out of here?”

At the very moment the mechanism was triggered, a stone wall dropped from the end of the passage, blocking their way out.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!” Bai Mengning coughed several times, trying to evade while still feeling uncomfortable, especially from the coughing.

“If you want to live, speak up!” Gu Qingluan urged.

Bai Mengning swallowed hard, catching her breath before responding, “There’s no way out unless someone outside opens the stone door. Otherwise, none of us can leave.”

“Not even you, a member of the Bai family?” Gu Qingluan asked skeptically.

Bai Mengning looked frustrated. “Exactly, not even me. I wanted to warn you earlier, but you didn’t let me speak.”

So it was their fault?

Gu Qingluan sneered. “Remember what I said earlier?”

Bai Mengning’s breath caught.

How could she forget?

They had said they would use her as a shield, even if it meant her death!

“So, someone from outside must open the door, right? You find a way to contact the person outside the passage. I refuse to believe you have no means.

Seeing Bai Mengning remain silent, a cold and sharp glint flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes. Suddenly, she positioned Bai Mengning in front of her as a shield.

A tiny projectile the size of an arrowhead was flying directly towards Bai Mengning’s eye.

Bai Mengning was terrified, and she shouted in fear, “I’ll talk! 1’11 talk!”

Clang!

The projectile was knocked away by a powerful gust of wind, hitting the wall and making a crisp collision sound.

“Don’t play any tricks!” Gu Qingluan grabbed her collar and sternly warned.

Bai Mengning said, “There’s a hidden groove next to the stone door. I can only open the door when I reach there.”

However, there were many hidden traps between them and the stone door, making it impossible for her to pass.

Feng Tianlan said to Gu Qingluan, “I’ll control those hidden traps. You can escort her to the side of the stone door.”

Gu Qingluan nodded.

Then, Feng Tianlan lifted her hand, and the palm emitted a dazzling purple light, enveloping the entire space.

The hidden traps that were in motion all froze in place.

And any concealed traps attempting to spring forth were consistently held back by the radiant purple light.

As they surged and were held in check, they found a balance between the two forces.

Bai Mengning watched in astonishment.

Gu Qingluan then pulled her through the flow of hidden traps to the front of the stone door.

“Open the door!”
