Chapter 658: Nose Doesn’t Work....
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Bai Mengning came to her senses. Where did these two people come from?
They were so young and yet had such cultivation.
It was likely that even her granny’s strength couldn’t match theirs.
Had she made a mistake by leading them into the forbidden area?
Bai Mengning felt uneasy and believed she might have made a big mistake. However, if given another chance, she would probably make the same choice. Her own safety at the moment was more important than worrying about her grandmother’s potential reprimands later on.
Suppressing her shock and mixed emotions, Bai Mengning groped for the location of the hidden groove and used the same method as before to open the stone door of the secret passage.
Boom!
The stone door slowly swung open.
Gu Qingluan grabbed her arm and turned to look at Feng Tianlan.
Keeping all the hidden traps motionless was no easy task.
Feng Tianlan’s eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and his voice was as steady as a calm lake. “You go out first.”
Seeing that he was in good condition, Gu Qingluan smirked. “Alright.”
She grabbed Bai Mengning and leaped out of the secret passage.
After Gu Qingluan had exited, Feng Tianlan quickly passed through the flow of hidden weapons.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless hidden traps suddenly sprang to life.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After Feng Tianlan had flown out of the secret passage, the heavy stone door closed, blocking the hidden weapons.
Gu Qingluan examined him from head to toe, making sure he wasn’t injured, and then shifted her attention to Xiaobai.
“Xiao Bai, why are you the only one here?”
“Squeak! Squeak!” Xiao Bai excitedly jumped from her arms to the ground and rushed ahead.
Seeing this, Gu Qingluan immediately followed.
Bai Mengning was dragged along and had no choice but to follow.
Feng Tianlan took the rear position, extending his spiritual sense to be aware of the surrounding environment.
After passing through the “Life Gate,” they entered a vast palace.
They hadn’t run very far when they encountered several people.
“Little beast, you actually escaped!”
The first thing they noticed was Xiao Bai, and their eyes all displayed a look of surprise.
Xiao Bai ignored them and headed straight forward.
“Little beast, don’t run around!”
One person quickly regained their senses and immediately chased after it.
The other two were about to follow when they noticed Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan.
“Who are you…”
Before the words were fully spoken, they saw Bai Mengning, who was blocked by Gu Qingluan.
“First… First Lady!”
Bai Mengning’s eyes flickered as she contemplated how to free herself.
But Gu Qingluan didn’t give her a chance. With a casual wave of her hand, white powder was sprinkled towards the two individuals.
Before they could even dodge, their eyes closed, and they collapsed to the ground.
Seeing the sorry state of her subordinates, Bai Mengning obediently closed her mouth.
Gu Qingluan coldly smiled at her and pulled her along to chase after Xiao Bai.
The underground palace was quite large, and they encountered several groups of people along the way, all of whom were knocked unconscious.
Xiao Bai led them to the prison cells.
The cells were separated by pillars, and inside, there were women and children.
Xiao Bai rushed to a cell and stared at the empty space inside, looking dumbfounded.
Gu Qingluan furrowed her brow. “Xiaonan and the others were just kept here?” Xiaobai nodded. “Squeak!”
Seeing the empty cells, Gu Qingluan had a bad feeling.
“Try to sniff out where they were taken.”
Xiao Bai sneezed and anxiously pointed at its nose, then shook its head.
“Your nose doesn’t work here?” Gu Qingluan guessed its meaning. This place was incredibly strange.
Neither her and Feng Tianlan’s spiritual sense nor Xiao Bai’s nose seemed to be effective here.
Xiao Bai nodded.
Gu Qingluan turned to question Bai Mengning, “Why did you capture the children? Where would they normally be taken?”
Bai Mengning innocently shook her head. “I don’t know.”
Gu Qingluan grabbed her by the throat, and a murderous gleam flashed in her eyes, “Where have they been taken?”
The force on her neck nearly choked Bai Mengning to unconsciousness.
Her fair face turned bright red in an instant as she struggled to breathe.
“The… blood… pool!”
These two words immediately indicated a dreadful place.
The expressions of both Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan turned as dark as thunderclouds.
Gu Qingluan released her grip on Bai Mengning’s neck and used the Golden Silkworm Thread to bind her body before throwing her forward, saying, “Lead the way!”
Bai Mengning suddenly regained her breath and stumbled forward while coughing.
She wore a resentful expression on her face, hidden from Gu Qingluan’s view. Bai Mengning had never experienced such humiliation in her entire life! However, the circumstances prevailed over individual desires, and at this moment, despite her anger, she had no option but to guide them forward.
The people who were patrolling the cells noticed her and were taken aback.
“We pay our respects to the First Lady!”
Before Bai Mengning could say anything, the man noticed the golden threads binding her and the blood dripping from her hand.
He looked behind Bai Mengning.
In an instant, his expression turned fierce, and he raised his weapon, shouting, “Who are you people? Release our First Lady immediately!”
Before he could finish speaking, he swung his weapon towards Gu Qingluan.
Xiao Bai leaped up and kicked him squarely in the face..
