Chapter XXXIX - Dealing With the Snake With the Abandonment
When Xiao Li heard the familiar rattling sounds from the four walls, his scalp went numb. He knew that he had activated the damnable mechanism of the Earth Kun Main Altar.
As expected, Xiao Li suddenly felt the floor beneath him loosen. This made him very shocked, and he quickly dashed to the right side of the stone platform. He thought to himself, "Even if I trigger the mechanism, I will snatch a few more treasures away." Just as he landed on the stone platform, he grabbed the wooden box on top of it. At this moment, Xiao Li already had two wooden boxes in his hands.
Just as he was about to leap to the left side of the stone platform, the stone platform suddenly flipped over, causing Xiao Li to stagger and fall off the stone platform. He had no choice but to step on it.
However, Xiao Li didn't expect the seemingly solid floor to be so powerless when he stepped on it. With a 'sou' sound, the floor actually moved as it flipped and covered him below.
On the other side, Ling Qing Yun and Yin Sun were busy making a ruckus over the three conditions. Yin Sun finally gave in and said, "Since Brother Ling believes this person so deeply, then I can't do it either. I'll let the good man follow you to the end, and Brother Ling will consider the three conditions himself. I believe that Brother Ling is a wise man too. Besides, Brother Ling is here to testify."
"Brother Yin is indeed a straightforward man," he said slowly. He had some doubts in his mind. He realized that since the man from Di Kun's main altar had whispered to him, there had been a slight change in Yin Sun's attitude. This change in attitude was not a good sign for them. But right now, he didn't have any proof, so he could only hide it in his heart. After entering the altar, he would pay extra attention to avoid suffering any losses.
After the discussion was over, Yin Sun led the way and led Ling Qingyun and the other two into the altar. Ling Qingyun walked in front, and the little monkey was caught between Ling Qingyun and Yoyan, to show Yanyan's identity as a witness, and let him supervise the little monkey's every move.
The four of them quickly made their way through the stone walls that surrounded the main altar, finally stopping at the kitchen area where Xiao Li and the others were working. Yin Sun pointed to the kitchen area that occupied several acres of land and said, "This place is the kitchen of our main altar." I wonder if everyone should look for him? "
Ling Qingyun calmly said, "Go take a look!"
Yin Sun smiled and led the way. The four of them entered the kitchen and passed through the hall. Ling Qingyun carefully observed the workers around her, but did not find any traces of Xiao Li. However, he still had an indifferent expression without any signs of sadness or joy.
As Little Monkey walked along, he couldn't help but feel admiration for Yin Sun's methods. Old Zhao and Xiao Li were both in trouble, but the affairs in the kitchen were still organized, everyone was busy working, and it was not a forgery at all. It was not an easy feat to fake in front of the likes of Ling Qingyun and Yanyan; it seemed like everything was normal here, and the people here had no idea what was going on in their main altar.
Yin Sun showed Ling Qing Yun and the other two places and said with a smile, "It looks like you're not looking for the brother you're looking for. I can tell you that you're not looking for him." This is because the most complicated part of this altar is the kitchen. The other places are all places where people of some status live, so it is basically impossible for strangers to be hiding there. "
Ling Qingyun lightly said, "It's better to watch everything!"
Yin Sun smiled. "Very well then. We'll do as Brother Ling asks!" They immediately brought the three of them to start inspecting the residences of the young monkey, all the way to the Martial Arts Practice Grounds and the residences of the various guests. Then, they went to the residences of the elders. Naturally, Xiao Li wasn't among them. In fact, Yin Sun had gathered all of the foreign delegates and servants of the Elder for Ling Qingyun to identify.
It was already late at night. Yin Sun smiled. "It's getting late. We've already checked the places we need to check. Why don't we have dinner and rest for the night? I'll personally escort you down tomorrow."
At this time, Ling Qingyun still had a calm face as he said, "The basic area of the altar, thanks to the great amount of people that have led us to check it out, I believe that my brother is indeed not here, but I do not know where else we have yet to check out." Is it possible to be informed? If you dare to commit any immoral acts, please forgive me, Master Yin, if there is any news of him, inform me as soon as possible, I will be extremely grateful! "Brother Yin, if there is anywhere else, would you mind if we make another trip tomorrow?"
"The only place you haven't been yet is one of my courtyards, thirty to forty miles away," Yin Sun said with a frown. "If Brother Ling is still worried, we can check it out. How about it?"
Ling Qingyun smiled lightly and said: "Then we should still go and disturb Brother Yin tomorrow, right? We'll stay here for the night. "
Yin Sun smiled. "Fine. Why don't we go tomorrow?" However, I shall be the first to speak. If Brother Ling and the other two were to barge into my secret grounds at night, then don't blame me for turning hostile then. "
Ling Qingyun said indifferently, "I can take care of it!"
He then ordered his men to prepare the banquet, and invited the elders and guests to accompany him. He then arranged a banquet for the three of them.
As Yin Sun introduced the three of them to the Elders and Guest Warriors, Little Monkey couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This was because there were quite a few of them, but many of them were unfamiliar faces to Little Monkey. However, the only thing worth suspecting was that even though they were impersonators, they were all extraordinary experts. From the looks of their high, protruding temples, they were all experts. The little monkey was surprised that there were still so many experts hiding in the Kunlun main altar. Even he, who had been here for several years, could not find out.
It was the night when everyone switched toasts and ate merrily. It was only when the smell of alcohol filled the air that everyone finally dispersed. Afterwards, under the guidance of the servants, the three of them went to the guest room. Inadvertently, Yin Sun had placed the little monkey's guest room in a remote corner some distance away from Ling Qingyun and Yoyan's. However, Ling Qingyun and Gui Yan also pretended that they didn't know anything, and went to their own rooms to sleep.
He was in a hurry and finally made it out to the second round!
