Seeing that Huang Xu's tone of voice was sowhat dull, He Zhiran knew that her hypnosis was about to wear off.

Mo Jiuye also noticed sothing was wrong, and anxiously ca forward to ask, "Who are you guys guarding?"

Huang Xu: "I... I don't know. It's soone Master brought here for us to guard."

As his voice fell, he sobered up completely.

He Zhiran put away her pocket watch and stood up, looking towards Mo Jiuye, "Do you have anything else you want to ask?"

Mo Jiuye shook his head, "No more."

After he finished speaking, he ended Huang Xu with a slash of his blade.

As for the two corpses, there was no need to hide them at all. Since they had already co to Si ng Mountain Villa, they would definitely investigate this place clearly. Even without these two corpses, it would still attract the attention of interested people.

With a thought, He Zhiran made herself, Mo Jiuye and the two corpses appear outside.

The two corpses were thrown there directly, and the two returned to the edge of the dried-up well.

Now knowing there was no danger inside the dried-up well, Mo Jiuye swept He Zhiran by the waist and jumped down.

Standing firmly at the bottom of the well, there was indeed an iron door recessing inward, as Mo Jiuye had expected. He reached out and pushed the door open.

What ca into view was a narrow passageway that could only accommodate one person walking at a ti. The passage was lined with a few dim oil lamps on both sides.

Mo Jiuye walked in front, with He Zhiran following closely behind. After walking out for about fifty ters, the light ahead beca brighter and brighter.

At the sa ti, they could vaguely hear people talking.

"Eldest Senior Brother has been out checking for so long and still hasn't co back. Could sothing have happened?"

"It shouldn't be. Eldest Senior Brother has cultivated his life-protecting Gu, he can protect himself if necessary."

"But they've been out for so long..."

Before the voice could fall, the speakers heard the sound of the door.

"Why were you guys out for so long, Eldest Senior Brother?"

"Your Eldest Senior Brother has gone to see the King of Hell." Mo Jiuye answered jokingly.

The voice was unfamiliar to those inside the secret room. Several people looked towards the entrance at the sa ti.

They saw a man and a woman standing there with their arms crossed, staring at them.

The few simultaneously reached into their clothes and took out their own Gu worms, assuming a vigilant posture.

At the sa ti, one who looked older spoke up and asked, "Just who exactly are you?"

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran walked unhurriedly towards the man without answering.

Seeing this, the man quickly opened a porcelain bottle in his hand and released a Gu worm.

Before the Gu worm could get close to the two, it began to scurry around in panic.

Seeing this, the others imdiately beca vigilant and released their own Gu worms as well.

Mo Jiuye raised his flathrower gun, aid at the Gu worms and sprayed fire, burning the three Gu worms into ashes in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the three were shocked and turned pale. This was the first ti they had encountered such a situation while using Gu worms.

Especially since they had raised these Gu worms for a long ti, the Gu worms had reached a state of spiritual communication with their masters. As long as the masters conscientiously manipulated them, they would never easily die.

But what had they just witnessed?

Their Gu worms had actually been burned to death by that kind of fierce fire they had never seen before...

The few exchanged glances with each other, then prepared to release the rest of the Gu worms. They were even ready to take action personally.

He Zhiran would not give them a chance to release the Gu worms. She raised her hand and threw out a packet of sedative powder, rendering them all unconscious.

As their masters lost consciousness, the little porcelain bottles in their hands also fell to the ground, making a series of clinking sounds.

Mo Jiuye quickly ca forward to collect those little porcelain bottles and used his flathrower gun to kill all the Gu worms.

Then he searched the bodies of the few as well, but did not find any other Gu worms except for so silver tickets.

The n had been drugged by a sedative personally concocted by He Zhiran. Without external interference, they would be asleep for at least two hours. She and Mo Jiuye tacitly did not hurry to interrogate them, but began searching the secret room instead.

The secret room was quite spacious, visibly consisting of more than ten rooms.

Not only were there studies, cultivation rooms, even kitchens and toilets.

In addition, there should be the bedrooms where Mr. Sing's disciples lived.

First, the two searched those bedrooms. Other than so n’s clothing, the amount of silver money was also considerable.

It goes without saying that these people must be engaged in so shady businesses, using Gu worms to do things for employers. It can be imagined that their inco must be substantial.

He Zhiran wasn’t interested in those n’s clothes. She directly collected the silver tickets into her space.

After searching all the bedrooms, the two went to the cultivation room.

The cultivation room was also nothing special, just so ditation cushions and so small porcelain bottles for keeping Gu worms.

Lastly, they arrived at the study.

The secret room’s study was almost no different from an ordinary family’s study. Bookshelves lined against the three walls, containing books related to Gu techniques, as well as so about poison-making.

He Zhiran didn’t know if she would need these books in the future. Anyway, it’s best that such harmful things don’t circulate too widely, lest they bring harm to more people.

Therefore, she waved her little hand, collecting the books along with the bookshelves into her space all at once.

She had expected that as usual, the objects in front of her would vanish without a trace.

But that didn’t happen...

The books on the top shelf directly facing the door all disappeared, but the bookshelf didn’t budge one bit.

Mo Jiuye instantly noticed sothing was wrong. Based on his wife’s consistent style, it was impossible for her to deliberately leave only this one bookshelf behind.

There must be so special reason why she couldn’t put it into her space.

"There's sothing wrong with this bookshelf. My spiritual sense doesn't work on it," He Zhiran said.

By now, Mo Jiuye had already co forward to touch the bookshelf tentatively.

On the surface, there didn't seem anything special about this bookshelf. It was just that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make it budge one bit.

"There is indeed sothing strange about this bookshelf," Mo Jiuye frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be so kind of entrance to a secret passage."

He Zhiran had the sa guess.

"Huang Xu said there was still soone Mr. Sing brought for them to guard. They must be inside the secret room."

The two gave up trying to move the bookshelf and started searching inside the study instead.

Other than the books and the other two bookshelves which He Zhiran had taken into her space, the rest of the items remained untouched in their original places.

After sweeping his gaze around, Mo Jiuye eventually arrived in front of the room’s only desk.

He first tapped around on the desktop and, finding nothing unusual, tentatively reached under the desk to feel around.

Seeing his body suddenly freeze, He Zhiran asked, "What is it? Did you discover sothing?"

Mo Jiuye solemnly said, "The switch should be here."

However, when he tried pushing it a few tis, there wasn’t the slightest sound.

He Zhiran took a flashlight from her space. The two of them squeezed under the desk to observe carefully.

The switch Mo Jiuye referred to looked like an extrely ordinary piece of scrap iron on the outside. If they hadn’t guessed that bookshelf might be the entrance to so kind of secret passage, it would have been difficult for them to think this piece of scrap iron was actually a switch.
