Jing Ke looked coldly at the two prey below.

In the field of vision, I saw that the two people were not walking in the same direction.

After Zhang Yulong left the courtyard, he walked straight to the south area of ​​the mansion.

That seems to be where he lives.

As for Zhang Qiyuan, he is still in the North District.

His walking direction was actually towards a small lake not far away.

As for the guards, they were currently searching for Lin Hao's whereabouts, interrogating every family member and servant, and did not follow Zhang Qiyuan.

"Is that where the things are hidden?"

Seeing this, Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly and he waited patiently for Zhang Qiyuan's next move.

This lake was obviously created by artificial mining and is surrounded by rugged rocks.

In the center of the lake, there is a pavilion. There are no tables and chairs for leisure in it, and it is completely empty.

Zhang Qiyuan stood by the lake, jumped up and landed directly in the pavilion.

He glanced around with a gloomy look. Seeing that there was no suspicious person, he stepped on the sixth brick on the left with his right foot.

"Snapped--!"

Only a deep sound was heard.

The ground inside the pavilion suddenly split open, revealing the entrance to an underground passage.

Zhang Qiyuan stepped in.

After about a moment, he walked out.

Seeing that the expression on his face did not change, it was obvious that the treasure was still there.

Immediately, Zhang Qiyuan waved his hand.

As the powerful spiritual power surged, the tunnel entrance slowly closed.

His body swayed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on the shore of the lake and left the area directly.

"It's that simple?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Hao's heart sank slightly.

Although his strategy has been achieved, he still feels a little strange.

However, when things have developed to this point, there is no retreat.

Now we can only continue searching along this clue.

If the treasure is really there, it means that his mission this time has been completed.

When the time comes, all you need to do is notify the deacon hall.

While thinking about it, Lin Hao was more cautious and did not order Jing Ke to go and investigate immediately.

While the Zhang family guards were busy searching, he emerged from the ant nest.

Then use the 'Shadow Trace' technique to blend into the reflection of objects under the moonlight.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and the various shadows formed by the surrounding buildings provided him with the best concealment effect.

‘Shadow Trace’ was a dark martial art he acquired when he killed a top assassin in the chaotic territory, and his stealth skills are extremely powerful.

As long as the body blends into the reflection, it is difficult to detect it even with spiritual detection.

In this way, Lin Hao used the reflections between various objects to quickly shuttle along the route.

Whenever he notices footsteps nearby, he remains still in the shadows.

Squirming forward like this, the whole process can be considered a near miss.

After a while, Lin Hao had successfully arrived at his destination.

Beside the lake, a half-foot-high rock stretched out a sloping reflection in the moonlight.

Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly shot out, and after a few flashes, he was already standing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

This dark shadow is undoubtedly Lin Hao.

According to the way Zhang Qiyuan opened the entrance before, he stepped on the sixth brick on the left.

Suddenly, the entrance to the underground passage slowly opened.

What appeared in front of Lin Hao's eyes was a long and sloping stone staircase that led directly to the ground.

Without any hesitation, Lin Hao moved and rushed in directly.

The invisible spiritual power spread, and in the dim environment, it was almost invisible.

Soon, Lin Hao came to the secret room underground.

However, the scene in front of him immediately made his pupils shrink slightly.

However, he saw that the empty stone chamber was not filled with as many treasures as he had imagined.

Instead, there were five skeletons lying on the ground.

Judging from its shape, it was obvious that he had been dead for a certain period of time. With his tattered clothes, he was clearly the blue-robed deacon of the Deacon Hall.

Today at the Law Enforcement Hall, he heard Mr. Mo say that before this, five green-robed deacons had taken over the task one after another, but all of them died in the line of duty.

The five skeletal corpses in front of us undoubtedly correspond to the five blue-robed deacons!

"Fell into a trap!"

As soon as he thought about it, Lin Hao's eyes darkened, and he turned around quickly to leave.

"I realize it now, I'm afraid it's a little late."

However, the next moment, a cold and deep laughter suddenly sounded.

Immediately, Lin Hao saw a figure standing at the entrance of the stone staircase.

This person is none other than Zhang Qiyuan, the head of the Zhang clan!

Lin Hao was indifferent and speechless, staring at the other person calmly.

Just as he had just guessed, this guy was really an old fox, and he actually used this as a lure, setting a trap for himself to take the bait.

Fortunately, Lin Hao also kept a secret secret.

"Boy, you are quite courageous."

Seeing that Lin Hao was still fearless in the face of danger, Zhang Qiyuan smiled gloomily, "However, courage does not mean IQ."

"It seems that the people in the Deacon Hall are all a bunch of impatient and brainless guys. Five times in a row, someone actually took the bait."

As he spoke, a powerful wave of spiritual energy filled his body, instantly locking onto Lin Hao.

That kind of aura is even worse than that of the Dark Palace Sect’s palace-protecting elder ‘Wu Lu’.

But its strength is estimated to have reached the fifth level of the Holy Realm!

In such a closed underground chamber, it is no wonder that none of the green-robed deacons who fell into the trap survived.

As he calmed down, Lin Hao glanced around.

Although there was nothing else in the empty secret room except the five corpses, he still noticed a more thought-provoking detail.

That is, in the corner on the right, there are a few less obvious footprints on the ground.

Judging from its size, it is almost the same as Zhang Qiyuan.

In other words, this guy just walked into the basement and set a trap just to create a mystery.

In fact, the treasure is still hidden here!

Is it possible that there is some secret mechanism in this basement?

"The things have been destroyed. If you come back again, you are just sending yourself to death."

Zhang Qiyuan noticed Lin Hao's gaze and snorted coldly, as if he was trying to hide something.

"Yeah?"

Lin Hao smiled coldly and said lightly: "If my guess is correct, Zhang Yulong is just your tool."

"The person behind the theft of Fengling Sect's resources is actually you."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan's eyes darkened slightly.

Although he said nothing, the expression on his face changed, as if he had acquiesced.

"Boy, sometimes you die faster if you know too much."

The moment the voice fell, Zhang Qiyuan's figure suddenly moved.

"boom!"

He struck out with his right palm, and an extremely powerful spiritual power suddenly condensed crazily in his palm.

In an instant, the air seemed to be shattered, and a sharp sonic boom sounded.

Lin Hao was about to retreat, but suddenly found that his body could not move even half a minute.

There seemed to be an obscure energy in the surrounding space, which directly imprisoned him in place.
Chapter completed!
