A crack appeared on the cliff wall, revealing a deep tunnel.
"Let's go!" The leading elder called out to the crowd, then lit a torch and walked in. The other elders followed closely behind.
Seeing that the elders had all gone in and the crack on the cliff wall was about to close, Jiang Fei followed them in a flash. He followed the elders from afar as they walked in the dark tunnel. Although Jiang Fei did not have a light source with him, he had strong night vision, so he could see the path in front of him clearly.
Jiang Fei followed the elders all the way forward. After about ten minutes, Jiang Fei entered a large hall. Then, the elders gathered in front of a stone pillar. They all turned their backs and stood facing outward. This forced Jiang Fei to find a corner to hide. Although he was invisible, Jiang Fei still did not want to take the risk.
Then, Jiang Fei noticed that one of the elders had turned around and touched a special spot on the stone pillar. Then, he returned to his original position and continued to stand with his back facing the stone pillar. Then, the second elder began to repeat the action of the first elder, followed by the third, the fourth …
Very soon, all the elders touched a special spot on the stone pillar. Then, Jiang Fei heard the sound of machinery once again.
"Damn! There's a password? And it's also controlled separately? "Jiang Fei was a little dumbfounded. Weren't these elders a little too cautious?
However, when he thought about it, the purpose of the existence of the Elders was to ensure that the treasure house of sealed technology would not be opened. For generations, they did not do anything else, so they put all their effort into this.
With the sound of machinery, the stone wall on the side of the hall flipped over. Behind the stone wall, there was a small platform with a wooden brocade box on it.
After seeing the brocade box, a group of elders moved closer. They carefully opened the brocade box and looked inside.
"Phew … Luckily, it's not lost …" The elders breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't I say that it's fine? This place is so well hidden, how could they have stolen the key? "
"Hmph! That's not what you said before! "
"Alright, alright, the key's safe. Let's go."
"Alright! Let's go! It's better not to linger here, lest we get discovered! "
"Do you guys think that they intentionally lured us here?" Suddenly, one of the elders spoke up.
"Ah?!" The rest of the elders were stunned.
"Look, we hid the key so well that outsiders definitely wouldn't know. However, they deliberately claimed that they had the key, and in the end, we ran over to take a look. If someone was following us in the dark, wouldn't they have discovered this place?" The elder said.
"That makes sense!"
"Sigh! I was too rash … "
The other elders discussed among themselves.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The question now is, what should we do?" The elder asked.
"Why don't we take the key with us?" An elder suggested.
"What if those people are waiting for us outside the door? If we go out with the key, wouldn't we be walking right into a trap?"
"And even if no one stops us, where will we put the key after we take it out? I'm afraid it wouldn't be safe in anyone's hands. We won't be able to build a place as safe as this in a short period of time! "
"Yeah!"
"Then what should we do …"
The elders were once again at a loss.
"Actually, I don't think we need to take the key with us!" At this time, a young elder said.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at the young elder.
"Look, if we put the key back, as long as the mechanism is locked, they won't be able to find out where the key is hidden. Even if we find the stone pillar, as long as one of us can resist the temptation and refuse to tell the password, the key will be safe!" The young elder said.
"That makes sense!" The other elders nodded.
Because the stone wall where the key was hidden was very thick, and the chosen stone material was also very strong, it was almost impossible to open it by relying on manpower. Although the stone pillar and the password could be leaked because one of the elders couldn't resist the temptation, but the password was kept by all the elders. As long as one of them refused to tell the password, then the mechanism would not be able to open, so it was relatively not very difficult to keep the secret of the key.
"There is no good way at the moment, we can only do this!" The other elders nodded in agreement with this suggestion.
Then, these people put the key back into the wooden box, and then reversed the mechanism, letting the wooden box be hidden again by the stone wall.
"Let's go, let's go out!" The leading elder said.
"Okay!" The other elders nodded, and then the group of people gradually left the secret room in the belly of the mountain.
After leaving the secret room, the elders took back their tokens, and then quietly returned to the capital city. To the elders' surprise, they were not arrested, and no one stopped them. Su Zhe and Su Rui did not plan to do anything to them.
While the elders were on tenterhooks, Jiang Fei was still in the secret room.
"Password? It doesn't need to be so complicated! "Jiang Fei smiled, then waved his hand, and summoned the Chengying Sword.
Buzz! Metal spiritual power covered the Chengying Sword, then Jiang Fei shook his wrist.
With a shout, the Chengying Sword slashed on the stone wall, creating a series of sparks.
"Hiss! That's amazing! " Jiang Fei sucked in a breath of cold air. Unlike what he had expected, the stone wall had not been split open. Instead, it had only left a shallow mark.
Swoosh! After seeing that the Chengying Sword could not cut the stone wall, Jiang Fei kept the Chengying Sword, but he was not too worried.
Then, Jiang Fei took two steps forward and placed his hands on the stone wall. At the same time, his spiritual power began to change between the five elements.
Jiang Fei was trying to make his spiritual power match the stone wall, and then vibrate at the same frequency. This way, the stone wall would resonate.
Very soon, Jiang Fei's spiritual power locked on to the metal element, and then he began to adjust the vibration frequency of his spiritual power. At the same time, Jiang Fei opened his Violet Eye. He began to carefully observe the stone wall's attributes and find its vibration frequency.
Under the Violet Eye, the stone wall gradually became microscopic, particles, and finally became pieces of energy strings.
These energy strings constantly vibrated, then formed special particles, which finally formed a strong stone wall.
Clang! Jiang Fei began to try to use spiritual power to pluck the energy strings. Previously, he had used spiritual power, but now that he could not use it, he could only try to use the heavy spiritual power to do this delicate thing.
