Bone Changer: Dragon Supreme - C26
The forbidden area was a taboo in the Raging Blade Sect. Apart from the Grand Uncle himself, no one was allowed to enter.
He was only a step away from catching up to Jiang Shuo. Chen Xian stood at the edge of the wall, flustered and exasperated, not knowing what to do. After a while, the other disciples that were guarding the forbidden area returned. All of them were dejected, but they lost Sun Daoming.
Chen Xian’s mood turned even worse. At this time, Li Yi, who had been sent to inquire, rushed back along with his eldest senior brother, Shi Gangwei.
When he heard that someone was trying to sneak into the forbidden area using his reputation, he immediately felt that something was wrong and hurried over. Seeing Chen Xian, his heart sank as he asked, “Second Junior Brother, what happened?”
Chen Xian immediately told him the truth about Jiang Shuo and Sun Daoming breaking into the forbidden area. “Big Senior, Master is inside the forbidden area, should we find a way to inform him?”
He shook his head and said, “You can’t enter the forbidden area. With Master inside, there won’t be any trouble at all for the two of them. Assign more disciples to guard outside. Master will report the situation to him after he comes out. Then, the two will be the first to come out and be killed on the spot. As for the Hundred Flowers Sect … For the time being, do not fall out with them. We will see how the Hundred Flowers Sect is going to act, and then we will act accordingly. ”
As he didn’t know the purpose of the Hundred Flowers Sect, he could only wait for the grand master to decide on his next course of action.
Chen Xian nodded his head and went to make the arrangements.
On the other side, Jiang Shuo was unaware of the Raging Blade Sect’s rules regarding the forbidden area. He jumped over the wall, afraid that Chen Feng would catch up with him, so he buried his head and went deeper into the forbidden area.
At first, he was worried about encountering enemies, so he was extremely cautious on the way. But after walking for a while, Jiang Shuo didn’t run into anyone. The large forbidden area was very quiet, and there wasn’t a single person in sight.
Chen Xian, who was chasing him, didn’t move. Jiang Shuo’s tensed nerves loosened a little, and he hid in a corner to deal with his wounds. Only then did he have time to inspect his surroundings.
Similar to the rest of the structures in the Raging Blade Sect, although this house that was in the forbidden area occupied a wide area of land, its structure was extremely simple and it seemed to be extremely spacious and empty.
“This place is called the Forbidden Area. It has its own reasons, and you still have to be careful.” Now that he was in the forbidden area, Jiang Shuo naturally had to investigate it thoroughly.
A bone from each of the Dream Red Chamber’s disciples was missing, most likely taken away by the killer. Jiang Shuo planned to start from this point.
He began to search the rooms one by one. The study, living room, bedroom, etc.
Two hours later, Jiang Shuo searched through most of the rooms, but he couldn’t find a single person. He was standing in front of the last room, breathing heavily, resting for the moment.
It was a low building, dilapidated and covered in dust. It was nestled in a corner and was in stark contrast to other tall buildings. It was most likely a woodshed filled with miscellaneous items.
Not giving up on this last hope, Jiang Shuo opened the door and walked in.
It was filled with broken wooden tables and chairs, blocks of dry wood, and bookshelves on one side of the wall, with bowls and bowls covered in dust.
The situation inside the house was clear. There was nothing suspicious at all. Just as Jiang Shuo was about to leave, he saw from the corner of his eyes that a bowl on the bookshelf was clean and smooth, as if it was used frequently.
“It seems that this woodshed has been abandoned for quite some time. However, it doesn’t have any oppressive smell. This is obviously not logical.” Sensing all sorts of strange things, Jiang Shuo stepped forward and bent down, touching the clean porcelain bowl. He tried taking the bowl, but he couldn’t, so he tried turning it left and right.
“Whooosh.”
Jiang Shuo twisted the bowl to the left, and then the sound of a mechanism turning came from behind the wall. Following which the bookshelf shook and slowly opened up, rubbing against the ground to produce a dry, ear-piercing sound.
The bookshelves opened, revealing a hole the size of a person in the wall. Behind the hole was a flight of stairs that led straight down. On both sides of the cave, there was an oil lamp embedded in the wall every ten feet. The two strings of flickering flames extended all the way to the unknown darkness.
This place was definitely the secret location of the Raging Blade Sect, and Jiang Shuo was afraid there might be an ambush, so he carefully walked down.
The bare walls and the same scene gave Jiang Shuo the illusion that there was no end to the cave, as if he was walking in an animal’s esophagus, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
At the end of the cave was a stone door. Opening it, Jiang Shuo saw a row of rooms. The room was made of rock. Only the front of the room was made of steel, and the iron gate was hung with heavy locks and iron chains.
As he continued along the corridor, he saw that the rooms on both sides of him were exactly the same. Just when Jiang Shuo thought this was a deserted prison, in the next room, he saw a person.
The other party was a middle-aged man, and he wore heavy iron cuffs on his hands and feet. When Jiang Shuo found him, he found him curled up in a corner on the hay, his back arched inwards, fast asleep.
“Who is he? Why did the Raging Blade Sect secretly lock him up here?” Jiang Shuo’s heart was filled with doubts, and he decided to ask, immediately calling out softly, “Uncle, uncle…”
Since there were prisoners, there were guards. Afraid of alerting the Berserker Blade Sect members, Jiang Shuo kept his voice low, but the other side was sleeping to the point of not waking up. Jiang Shuo had no choice but to give up.
Jiang Shuo continued to walk, next to this room there was another woman imprisoned. Unfortunately, the woman also fell asleep, and Jiang Shuo was unable to wake her up.
“But Young Master Jiang Shuo?”
While Jiang Shuo was feeling depressed and was about to find his next target, a voice suddenly came from the side.
“How could anyone know me?” Jiang Shuo’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that the other’s voice sounded very familiar, but for a moment he couldn’t recall it.
Following the direction of the sound, Jiang Shuo finally found him in a room three rooms away from here. It was actually Chen Han.
After Yu Han was brought back to the city by Feng En, he stayed at the Hundred Flowers Sect to recuperate and did not go out of the city again. Thus, he did not see Chen Han again. Chen Han was a loyal man, and Jiang Shuo had a good impression of him. He hadn’t expected that in just two or three days, he would be captured by the Raging Blade Sect.
“When I heard your voice just now, I thought it was an illusion. I tried shouting a few words, but I didn’t expect it really was you!” Chen Han was pleasantly surprised. He suddenly realized that he had lost his composure and his voice was a little loud. He hurriedly shut his mouth tightly. After a while, when there were no other movements, he asked, “Young Master Jiang, why are you here?”
“I’m here to investigate something.” To make a long story short, Jiang Shuo asked, “Why are you locked in here?”
“After Doctor Wu Yu left, someone broke into the cave at night and locked me up here. I asked him why he didn’t say anything about it. I didn’t even know who it was or where it was. ” Chen Han replied, confused.
Jiang Shuo frowned, it seemed Chen Han didn’t know as much as he did. He thought back to the two men he had just met and tried to find some common ground between them.
Chen Han was a victim of the disaster and had been starving all this time. Not long after he recovered from the plague, he was caught here and lost a whole circle. Jiang Shuo looked at him with a pained heart, “Let’s talk about these things later, I will save you first.”
Unexpectedly, Chen Han looked at the wound on Jiang Shuo’s thigh, thought deeply, and then shook his head. “Young master Jiang, you should leave quickly. I’ve tried many times, but I couldn’t open this lock. Furthermore, the person who kidnapped me is very powerful. If he discovers you, even you won’t be able to escape. ”
Leaving his life behind was hard to predict, but Chen Han actually thought of others and gave up his hope of escaping. This made Jiang Shuo very touched.
“Wait a moment, I’m going to find something and find a way to break this lock.” Jiang Shuo would never let him die, ignoring Chen Han’s persuasion, and went straight away to find the tools.
“The person Chen Han spoke of could very well be the Great Uncle of the Muddleheaded Knife.” His second disciple Chen Xianwu is so skilled, if I were to meet him, I would definitely not be able to escape. ” Next, Jiang Shuo met a lot of prisoners, afraid that they would see him shouting, so he tried to walk around. Despite being unable to circle around the other party, his movements were extremely gentle. He would not disturb the other party in the least.
Jiang Shuo originally thought that this prison would have some torture tools, but after searching for a while, he found nothing.
“Looks like I can only think of a way to find the key.” Jiang Shuo made up his mind. Just as he was about to move, he heard light footsteps at the corner ahead.
Jiang Shuo’s mind raced as he looked around, immediately hiding in the nearest room.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer, separated only by a stone wall from Jiang Shuo. Jiang Shuo held his breath, not daring to breathe. His nerves were stretched to the limit.
Finally, the sound of footsteps drifted away. Jiang Shuo peeked his head out and saw a burly figure walking forward. On his waist hung a bunch of keys. They moved up and down as he walked, but they didn’t come into contact with each other. This showed just how powerful he was.
“It seems like he’s the only one here. However, if he doesn’t find out that I’ve obtained the key, it’ll be even harder than ascending to the heavens.” Jiang Shuo’s eyebrows tightened.
Jiang Shuo waited until the other side had gone far away and completely disappeared into the corridor before carefully walking out of the room. Without the key, he could not save Chen Han. If he wanted the key, he had to fight with the opponent. Jiang Shuo racked his brains, but he could not find an effective method.
“Tsk, even if I have to take the risk, I still have to obtain the key.” Jiang Shuo clenched his fists and made up his mind. Just as he was about to return to find Chen Han, a voice suddenly came from above his head, “The key is on me, come and take it.”
Jiang Shuo’s brain exploded, hair standing on end. “When did he…”
Not even daring to look back, Jiang Shuo ran.
“Where do you think you’re going?!” With a loud shout, his palm grabbed at Jiang Shuo’s back, and just as it was about to hit him, Jiang Shuo suddenly turned and dodged.
A stone door appeared in front of him, and Jiang Shuo rushed in without a second thought.
The stone door was not locked, and before Jiang Shuo could even react when he walked in, his feet suddenly missed him, and his body fell straight down.
