Chapter 357 Safe Place
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Qi Yunran sensed the presence of more than a dozen powerful individuals.

Qi Yanzhou and Qi Yunran pretended not to notice and followed Mu Qingcheng to a so-called "safe place" to hide.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and covered in moss!

It seemed as if no one had been here for a long time. Mu Qingcheng came to an abandoned study in the courtyard, where the things inside were dilapidated.

Having skillfully located the switch, a passage appeared before them.

“Master Zhou, Brother Xiao Qi, this is a secret passage in our City Lord’s Mansion. If you follow this path, you will be able to leave Xunwu City! You saved Qingcheng, and Qingcheng has no way to repay you, so I can only send you on your way.”

"And what about you?" Qi Yunran suddenly asked.

"Brother Xiaoqi, Qingcheng still needs to go back to fight alongside Father, so I'll be leaving now. You all go quickly!" After saying that, he pressed the switch to close the door to the secret room.

Qi Yunran looked out through the stone door of the secret chamber, which was not yet fully closed. She saw Mu Qingcheng's figure quickly disappear into the courtyard.

Qi Yunran and Qi Yanzhou examined the secret passage. It was very long and the end was nowhere in sight. Low-grade spirit stones illuminated the passage.

It is about two meters wide and surrounded by cold stone walls. Even the slightest movement inside will produce a loud echo.

The sound echoed long and deep, sending chills down one's spine.

Qi Yunran tentatively walked forward. After taking several dozen steps, two paths suddenly appeared in front of her. One was wide and flat, while the other looked rugged and winding. The wide path seemed safe and undisturbed, while the rugged and winding path was so narrow that only one person could pass at a time, and below it was a bottomless black abyss.

I'm afraid that if you're not careful, you could fall off this cliff whose depths are unknown.

Qi Yunran used her Heavenly Eye to investigate and found that she could only see fifty meters ahead, all of which was a jagged rock formation!

He resolutely embarked on that winding and bumpy road.

On the spirit stone mirror in the city lord's mansion, Mu Chendong looked at the path they had chosen, his eyes flashing with a sharp light!
"They really are suspicious!" "Father, should Qingcheng scare them away?"

"No need, let me take another look!"

"But...they'll die if they do that. At least let them go for the sake of them saving Qingcheng's life, okay?"

Mu Chendong's sharp gaze swept over Mu Qingcheng's worried face and said, "It's too late. They've chosen this path, and there are only two choices left. They've already been noticed by that thing, and no one can save them. Unless... otherwise, only death awaits them."

The city lord's mansion had long since returned to calm. The guards who had pretended to be assassins got up from the ground and calmly wiped the "blood" off their faces.

As soon as Qi Yunran and Qi Yanzhou stepped into this uneven road, they found themselves locked in by a cold gaze.

Qi Yanzhou and Qi Yunran were not afraid at all; on the contrary, their eyes lit up with joy when they sensed that aura.

Immediately and cautiously, they walked inside, taking each step with care.

One wrong step and you could fall into this abyss of darkness, its depths unknown.

Halfway there, the view suddenly opened up, as if it had become a free world. The narrow road suddenly broke off, and what appeared before us were round boulders suspended in mid-air every meter.

These boulders looked very solid, and flames were burning beneath the stone steps. Even though you were far away from the flames, you could still feel a burning sensation on your skin.

Qi Yanzhou looked at the flames with even greater surprise, while Qi Yunran noticed that although the flames were familiar, there was an aura mixed in that was not a flame.

After his initial surprise, Qi Yanzhou frowned.

Before Qi Yunran and the others could think further, a rain of fire suddenly began to fall from the sky. A ball of fire accidentally landed on Qi Yunran and immediately burned off the hem of her clothes.
