In the secret passage!
"Ruyu, wait a minute!" Yu Haoran frowned and reminded He Ruyu as he reached out to press her shoulder.
"Haoran, what's wrong?" He Ruyu turned her head and asked in confusion.
"Ruyu, are you sure that this secret passage leads directly to your bedroom?"
After continuing to frown and sniff for a while, Yu Haoran asked.
"Yes!"
Nodding, He Ruyu looked at Yu Haoran with even more confusion. She did not understand what he meant.
"Then, can you use your Divine Sense to check the situation outside the secret passage, which is the situation in your bedroom?" Yu Haoran suggested without explaining why he stopped her from opening the mechanism at the end of the secret passage.
"No!" Shaking her head, He Ruyu explained.
"The builder of this secret passage was the third leader of the Echo Mountain Bandits two hundred years ago."
"Haoran, the third leader of the Echo Mountain Bandits, was not only an expert at the peak of the Ninth Grade Martial Saint Realm, but also a master who was proficient in formations."
"In order to ensure the safety and concealment of this secret passage, he set up many formations during the construction process. The entire secret passage is not only extremely hard and can withstand the full blow of an expert at the early stage of the Martial Venerable Realm, but the Divine Sense of an expert at the Martial Ancestor Realm and above cannot penetrate the walls of the secret passage. They cannot discover the existence of the secret passage at all."
"Not to mention that I can't use my Divine Sense now, even an expert at the early stage of the Martial Venerable Realm can't penetrate the secret passage and observe the situation outside the secret passage."
"Yu Haoran, what your woman said is true."
After He Ruyu explained the uniqueness of the construction of the secret passage, the Thaling in his Sea of Consciousness immediately confirmed.
"In this secret passage, even my Divine Sense can't reach the outside."
"Haoran, what happened?"
After explaining the uniqueness of the construction of the secret passage, He Ruyu kept looking at Yu Haoran, hoping that he could give her a reasonable explanation.
However, she unexpectedly found that he suddenly fell into deep thought. Her heart was full of doubts, so she could not help but ask.
"Ruyu, there's a faint smell of blood at the end of the tunnel, which is your bedroom."
"Moreover, the smell of blood is very fresh. It's obviously fresh blood that has just flowed out of the body and hasn't completely solidified yet," Yu Haoran said in a serious tone.
In fact, there was one more thing that Yu Haoran didn't say. The smell of blood coming from the end of the tunnel was too strong. It was obviously blood from a fatal wound.
And this fatal wound was very likely to be the heart.
"No, I want to go out now!"
He Ruyu did not ask Yu Haoran why he could smell blood in the completely sealed tunnel. She suddenly became agitated and wanted to rush out.
Fortunately, Yu Haoran pulled her back in time and ordered domineeringly.
"You can rush out now, but you have to agree to my two requests!"
"Speak!" He Ruyu took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger and anxiety in her heart. Her voice was filled with coldness.
"First, you have to wear a mask!"
He Ruyu's peerless beauty had great lethality. It could be seen from the betrayal of her three confidants that she had carefully nurtured. He did not want to cause unnecessary conflict because of her beauty after rushing out of the tunnel.
Nodding, He Ruyu took out a mask from her storage ring and put it on her face.
"Second, after opening the mechanism of the tunnel, let Black Bear, who has stronger defensive abilities, rush out first!"
Seeing that He Ruyu had not completely lost her mind, Yu Haoran secretly sighed in relief and then said his second request.
"Alright!"
Although she was anxious to rush out and see what had happened in her bedroom and whether it was really as she had guessed, Yu Haoran's suggestion just now was for her safety.
Therefore, He Ruyu could only try her best to suppress the anger in her heart. After nodding in agreement, she took out a special key and inserted it into a special keyhole on the wall at the end of the tunnel.
Just as He Ruyu turned the key, Yu Haoran instructed Black Bear, who was standing behind He Ruyu, "Black Bear, directly activate your strongest defense!"
Nodding, Black Bear's body gradually emitted a wisp of black gas. This black gas faintly emitted the smell of death.
Needless to say, Yu Haoran knew that Black Bear had begun to use the secret technique inherited from the ancient divine beast bloodline.
Just as He Ruyu turned the key to the end and the wall in front of her slowly opened, the black gas instantly merged into Black Bear's body.
As the wall in front of her slowly opened, He Ruyu also smelled the stench of blood coming from the front. The stench of blood was very strong, indicating that either there were many people bleeding, or they had suffered unimaginable injuries.
When the wall completely opened, Black Bear quickly rushed out.
Three seconds later, the black bear that had rushed out turned back.
"Master, there is a bedroom outside. Other than a woman whose heart was pierced and who just lost her life, there are no enemies lying in ambush!"
"Ruyi!"
After hearing Black Bear's brief introduction, He Ruyu cried out a name sorrowfully and then rushed out like the wind.
"Let's go!" Looking at He Ruyu who rushed out in a hurry, Yu Haoran shook his head and sighed before instructing Hei Xiong.
After stepping through the passageway formed by the wall, Yu Haoran found himself in a room with a very simple layout, but filled with a strong scholarly aura.
If not for the strong stench of blood in the room, the scholarly aura could not only calm one's mind, but also significantly improve one's state of mind cultivation, and also eliminate the remnant brutality in one's heart due to excessive killing.
"Ruyi, it's my fault!"
Just as Yu Haoran was observing the layout of the bedroom, He Ruyu's desperately suppressed grief and self-blame sounded in his ears.
Walking to He Ruyu's side, he lowered his head and carefully looked at the woman whose heart was pierced. Yu Haoran's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of surprise.
Of course, the surprise was not because of how beautiful the dead woman was.
Not to mention compared to He Ruyu, even compared to the He sisters, this woman's appearance and temperament were a hundred times inferior. It could only be said that she was a very ordinary woman.
The reason why he was surprised was because he found that this woman was not completely dead.
To be more precise, before this woman was killed, she was wearing a treasure that contained a strong life force on her chest.
When the murderer had pierced her heart in an instant, the treasure had also been shattered, causing the life force contained in the shattered treasure to fuse into the woman's body due to the inertia of the force.
The life force that had fused into her body had been nourishing her mind, allowing her to retain a trace of life force.
However, because this woman's cultivation had not reached the Martial Ancestor realm, she had not condensed a Spirit. Once the life force that nourished her mind was completely exhausted, she would undoubtedly die.
