As time passed, hundreds of runes danced in a corner of the room. As these runes danced, a gap slowly opened up.
The runic formation at the gap was extremely strange. Not only did it take a long time to open, but it also could not be stopped during the entire process. Once it stopped, it would definitely make a loud noise. This was something Linlong did not want to see.
Fortunately, the old mistress and the two maids had already been drugged, and no one else would come here at this time. Therefore, although this opening method was not good, Linlong still slowly recited the runic terminology.
Gradually, the gap grew larger, and Linlong could vaguely see the stairs that appeared below the gap.
This situation made Linlong even happier, because there was definitely a space below.
Thud, thud, thud …
At this critical moment, something that Linlong did not want to see happened. There were footsteps nearby, and it was obvious that the other party was walking in this direction.
From the sound of the footsteps, it was a person.
I'm so close. I hope I can open this gap before that person arrives, Linlong muttered to himself.
However, just as the gap was about to be completely opened, the door to the room was opened, and a person appeared in front of Linlong.
This person was Pan Mulan.
Pan Mulan saw Linlong at first glance. The maid was obviously dead in her sleep. She was slightly surprised because Linlong should not have appeared here at this time.
Pan Mulan saw the gap that was about to be opened at second glance. After seeing this gap, Pan Mulan's surprised expression deepened.
Then, she immediately realized that Linlong was opening up this gap.
"Young Master Lin … What are you doing?" Pan Mulan asked in surprise.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely shout at this situation because Linlong was clearly tampering with the runic formation. However, Pan Mulan was familiar with Linlong, so her voice was not loud.
Linlong was silently reciting the runic terminology and had no time to answer her. Therefore, he only looked at her without saying a word.
"Young Master Lin, if you don't stop, I'm going to shout." Pan Mulan's expression turned serious.
If Linlong stops, I'll ask him what he's doing first. This was what Pan Mulan thought to herself.
However, what left Pan Mulan helpless was that Linlong had no intention of stopping at all. Moreover, the gap was slowly expanding.
"Young Master Lin, are you really not going to stop?" Pan Mulan was a little anxious.
However, Linlong did not even bother with her.
Pan Mulan was at a loss. She wanted to shout, but she was afraid that it would be disadvantageous to Linlong if she alerted others. After all, she felt that Linlong was not the kind of person who would harm Yangning Island.
However, if he did not shout, Linlong's actions would clearly violate Yangning Island's rules.
Really, if she didn't shout, there were other ways to stop Young Master Lin, which was to stop Young Master Lin from chanting. After being stunned for a while, Pan Mulan finally thought of a way to stop Lin Long.
She immediately stepped forward.
In Pan Mulan's opinion, Linlong wouldn't make a move no matter what. However, she didn't expect that the moment she walked to Linlong's side, Linlong, who had been standing still and muttering to himself, would suddenly make a move.
Caught off guard, Pan Mulan was pushed to the ground by Lin Long.
"Young Master Lin, this is?" Pan Mulan couldn't help asking.
Even at this time, she still felt that Linlong wouldn't do anything to her, so she only had a puzzled look on her face and didn't have any hostility towards Linlong.
"I did tamper with your Runic Magic Formation," Linlong said.
The reason why he opened his mouth was naturally because the moment he pounced on Pan Mulan, he had already created an opening. Of course, Linlong had no choice but to pounce on Pan Mulan. Because if he didn't do that, Pan Mulan would have most likely messed things up at the last moment.
"Young Master Lin, why did you do this?" Pan Mulan frowned slightly.
"Miss Mulan, I have my own difficulties. My closest relative is locked up in this space below," Linlong continued.
"Your closest relative is locked up below?" Pan Mulan was a little surprised.
Someone being locked up in such a secret place must have been ordered by Island Lord Pan Qi. However, in Pan Mulan's opinion, her adoptive father Pan Qi shouldn't be a bad person.
Pan Mulan didn't know that she usually only saw one side of Pan Qi.
"If Miss Mulan doesn't believe me, you can follow me down to take a look," Linlong said.
With that, Linlong stood up from Pan Mulan's body. He could tell that Pan Mulan wouldn't make a fuss.
The moment Linlong stood up, Pan Mulan's little face flushed red. She suddenly realized that Linlong's hand seemed to have been tightly grabbing onto her private parts.
Of course, if she hadn't been thinking about Linlong's motives, she would have felt that way a long time ago.
However, Pan Mulan's mind only wavered for a moment before she returned to the matter they were currently discussing.
Pan Mulan bit her lip and said, "Young Master Lin, I believe you."
As she spoke, she stood up from the ground and patted her clothes to hide her embarrassment.
"Thank you, Miss Mulan," Linlong said with a faint smile.
"However, Young Master Lin, may I follow you down to take a look?" Pan Mulan asked.
Other than being curious about such a secret place, Pan Mulan was even more curious about who Linlong's so-called closest relative was.
"Of course you can. Furthermore, Miss Mulan is also the owner of this place … There's no time to lose. Let's hurry down," Linlong replied.
Linlong was afraid that someone else would appear, so he naturally wanted to go down as quickly as possible.
"Alright." Pan Mulan nodded.
Linlong immediately walked towards the opening. When he reached the opening, he could see what seemed to be an endless flight of stairs.
After confirming that there was no danger, Linlong walked down the stairs.
Pan Mulan also followed closely behind him.
The stairs were very long and there wasn't a single trace of light at the bottom. If it wasn't for Linlong's outstanding eyesight, he wouldn't even be able to see the stairs clearly.
After walking a few steps, Linlong lit a match.
This was naturally for the convenience of Pan Mulan behind him.
After walking for a full quarter of an hour, the two of them finally reached the end of the stairs.
The reason why they took so long was naturally because Linlong was extremely cautious. He was afraid of triggering some sort of mechanism. Otherwise, given their strength, they wouldn't have taken so long.
After walking to the end of the stairs, Linlong discovered that there was a door that was over three meters tall and one meter long.
There weren't any runic arrays or anything like that on the door. Linlong stretched out his hand and pushed it open.
When the door was pushed open, Linlong and Pan Mulan couldn't help but subconsciously narrow their eyes. That was because there was an intense light shooting out from inside.
There seemed to be a large hall inside.
