Cheng Mengying looked around and found that this fork was connected to several doors in different directions. Some of them seemed to be secret rooms, while others seemed to be exits or entrances.
From time to time, someone would come in from one of the openings, holding bits and pieces of things in their hands. Then, they would hurriedly head in another direction and disappear at the end of the secret passage in the blink of an eye.
There seemed to be several magic arrays set up in the entire secret passage. For example, as long as someone entered or left the door, the door would light up with a silver-white light. It looked like a small magic array, but it was unknown what it was used for.
When the people dressed in servant's clothes passed by the young master and Cheng Mengying, they seemed to completely ignore the young mistress who was tied up. Instead, they bowed respectfully to the young master, then turned around and left in a hurry.
The young master stood at the fork for a while, seemingly observing the situation of the people coming and going. Then, he walked towards a door and pushed it open with Cheng Mengying. They walked into a secret room.
After Cheng Mengying walked into the secret room, she still looked back at the slowly closing door. She mainly stared at the light on the door, wanting to see what the magic array looked like. However, because the light was too bright, she couldn't see it clearly.
"It seems that you are quite interested in this magic array?" The young master noticed Cheng Mengying's abnormality, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he said with a proud look.
"Hmph, what's there to be interested in?" Cheng Mengying was caught red-handed. She snorted uncomfortably and said, "Isn't it just a magic array for illumination? It's flashy but useless! "
"That's where you're wrong!" The young master raised his eyebrows and pointed at the magic array on the secret door. "This magic array isn't used for illumination. It's used to detect the situation and prevent enemies from invading!"
Cheng Mengying looked at the faintly glowing magic array in astonishment. She couldn't figure out how such a small magic array could prevent enemies from invading.
"Since you are also a high-level Immortal Cultivator, you must've released your divine senses to investigate the surroundings, right?" The Young Master seemed to have become addicted to being an explanation. He explained in a clear and logical manner, "Once a cultivator's divine sense comes into contact with this kind of formation, it will automatically activate and set up all kinds of targeted illusions to deceive the opponent, making them see the wrong illusion! Even if your servant, Xiao Chen, came here, he would still be trapped by this formation! "
"You make it sound like it's real!" Cheng Mengying pursed her lips. She didn't really believe the Young Master's introduction. "Xiao Chen won't be deceived by such a low-level smokescreen! You're just wasting your time! "
Although she said that, Cheng Mengying didn't have much confidence in her heart. Firstly, she didn't know if Xiao Chen would be able to rush over to save her. Secondly, after this period of immersion in the Immortal Cultivation World, she also knew that there were many strange things in the Immortal Cultivation World. She didn't know if Xiao Chen could easily see through this kind of magic array.
"Hahaha, Miss Cheng, you're too naive, aren't you?" The Young Master looked up to the sky and laughed a few times. He walked to a corner of the room that had a magic array drawn on it. He stretched out his hand and pulled on the rope, dragging Cheng Mengying in. He said with a proud expression, "Let the truth tell you the truth!"
After saying that, the Young Master started to circulate his mental cultivation and revealed his Golden Core Stage Level 5 cultivation. Then, he started to silently chant a strange incantation.
When Cheng Mengying felt the Young Master's strength, she was a little annoyed. If she wasn't tied up by this strange rope, dealing with this guy would be a piece of cake!
The Young Master didn't know what Cheng Mengying was thinking. He continued to chant the incantation step by step. The magic array on the ground immediately emitted a soft white light. The white light was projected onto the wall in front of the two of them, reflecting the image of the front door of a house.
Cheng Mengying focused her eyes and realized that the house was no different from the house that she had been caught in. However, there was a huge sign hanging on the door. Moreover, there was no content on the sign. It was blank and looked very strange.
"Why does it look like a surveillance camera …" Cheng Mengying muttered silently. Although she was usually careless and didn't understand the abilities of cultivators very well, she still remembered that Xiao Chen had mentioned that some magic arrays seemed to have the effect of surveillance.
"That's right. This is a surveillance array. Just watch patiently! There will be a good show to watch later! "The Young Master nodded his head proudly and directly admitted it.
Cheng Mengying was a little puzzled. Looking at the Young Master's confident look, could it be that Xiao Chen had really come?
Sure enough, not long after, the image on the wall reflected the figures of Xiao Chen and Elder Nangong!
When Cheng Mengying saw the familiar figure that she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes instantly turned red. There was an indescribable emotion in her heart.
In the past, the two of them often spent time together, so Cheng Mengying didn't feel anything. After a period of separation, she realized that she actually had a strong dependence on Xiao Chen. Especially after entering the World of Cultivation, so many people were missing. Even if she wanted to find them, she couldn't. She often woke up in fear at night, worried that something bad had happened to the others.
At this moment, seeing that Xiao Chen appeared safe and sound, Cheng Mengying couldn't be more happy. Did he know that she was locked up here by the bad guys, so he specially came to save her?
The surveillance image on the wall was still playing. She saw Xiao Chen and Elder Nangong enter the house one after another. Elder Nangong seemed to be familiar with the layout of the house. He turned around and said something to Xiao Chen, then led the way to the room where the Young Master was.
From the image, Xiao Chen seemed to be more cautious. He followed behind Elder Nangong carefully and looked around from time to time, as if he was looking for something. Although his steps were very slow, he gradually left the range of the surveillance image.
"Did you see that? My servant has come to save me! If you know what's good for you, hurry up and let me go! "Cheng Mengying took a deep breath to calm her emotions, then shouted at the Young Master.
The Young Master acted as if he didn't hear Cheng Mengying's words. He directly walked to another array and chanted an incantation. Then, another image appeared on the wall. It seemed to be the path to the main room of the house. Xiao Chen and Elder Nangong were walking in step by step.
Apart from them, there was no one else on the image. The whole house looked very cold and deserted.
"Did you hear what I said?" Cheng Mengying put on a fierce look and threatened the Young Master. "If you serve me well, I might consider pleading on your behalf. Otherwise, I'll let my servant, Xiao Chen, send you flying! He's not like me, he has such a good temper! "
