Chapter 291 Underground Darkroom
Chapter 291: Underground Secret Chamber
Dongfang Changqing originally planned to infiltrate at night, as the darkness would hinder the five senses and make it more convenient for him to act.
But he didn't expect Zhang Chi to be so efficient. Just after instructing him to quickly find Long Yi, he immediately went there.
This child, he's just too sincere.
Dongfang Changqing secretly sneered. Fortunately, his secret technique was powerful. Even during the day, he quietly infiltrated the Dragon Transformation Palace without anyone noticing.
While Long Yi was receiving Zhang Chi, Dongfang Changqing's target was also clear. He headed straight for Long Yi's sleeping quarters.
During the days when Zhang Chi was immersed in reading, Dongfang Changqing was not idle either.
He already had a plan and a target in mind.
If Zhang Chi could find any flaws with Long Yi, that would be the best outcome. If not, he would have to rely on himself.
And the most likely place to find clues was Long Yi's sleeping quarters.
After Ao Long disappeared for such a long time, if he had been in the realm of the Wailing Cavern all along, Miao Renlong wouldn't be completely unaware.
In other words, Long Yi must have transported Ao Long there while Miao Renlong was absent.
Before that, he had to hide Ao Long well to prevent him from being discovered. And the best hiding place was undoubtedly Long Yi's sleeping quarters.
With Long Yi's authority, no one would dare to trespass into his residence.
Moreover, Long Yi never allowed maidservants to serve him. His residence was for him alone.
Obviously, this was a great secret that he didn't dare to let anyone approach.
The more Dongfang Changqing thought about it, the more excited he became. If this trip went smoothly, he would be able to uncover the secret of a regional overlord.
This secret must be shocking. Once it was revealed to the public, the world's attention would be focused on him, and Dongfang Changqing's name would surely spread throughout the Western State.
Dongfang Changqing's invasion went very smoothly because Long Yi's palace was usually unguarded. He easily entered Long Yi's sleeping quarters, feeling like it was too unreal.
Time was pressing, and he couldn't afford to think too much. He quickly began searching inside the room, holding a piece of magnetic godstone in his hand. This stone could react to formations and interfere with them to a certain extent.
It was because he had this treasure that he dared to intrude into Long Yi's residence. Otherwise, anyone could easily discover him with a random formation.
When the magnetic godstone approached a formation, it would rotate on its own and merge with the power of the formation. With this, discovering and breaking formations became an easy task.
If Long Yi had anything to hide, he would most likely use formations to conceal it.
However, what surprised Dongfang Changqing was that Long Yi's residence was not protected by any formations.
"Is he really this clean? Or does he have another stronghold?"
Thinking of this, Dongfang Changqing's expression immediately turned ugly.
If Long Yi had another stronghold, it would be difficult for him to find it, and he didn't have time to investigate further.
Not being able to find a flaw in Long Yi didn't have much impact on him, but Dongfang Changqing was unwilling.
He was in the prime of his youth, always smooth sailing. Now that he had a challenging goal, he naturally wouldn't give up easily.
With no hope of finding another stronghold, he could only search Long Yi's residence and see if he could find anything special.
His divine sense scanned the entire room over and over again, until finally, he discovered an abnormality.
Every time his divine sense passed through that area, it would dissipate a little.
The amount was small. If it weren't for Dongfang Changqing's high Divine Soul cultivation and repeated use of divine sense, he might not have noticed this anomaly.
Sensing that something was amiss, Dongfang Changqing suddenly became excited and looked towards the abnormal area.
There was a painting hanging there, depicting a dormant giant dragon, symbolizing the hidden dragon in the abyss.
Dongfang Changqing approached and inspected the painting, but found nothing wrong. He uncovered it and scanned the area with his divine sense, finally accurately locating the anomaly.
He gently tapped with his hand, and indeed it was hollow. There was a secret compartment here.
Dongfang Changqing pressed it, and that part of the wall retracted, revealing a small black dragon statue.
Sure enough, there was a secret!
Seeing this, Dongfang Changqing already understood that there was indeed no formation here, but rather a very clever mechanism. This was the switch.
In order to conceal the existence of the switch, the walls here were made of a material specifically designed to block divine sense.
However, this material also had its drawbacks, as it would absorb a small amount of divine sense.
Of course, most people would not notice such subtle changes.
Dongfang Changqing was quite sensitive and was able to seize this flaw.
Now that the mechanism was right in front of him, how could Dongfang Changqing not be excited?
He reached out his hand, pressed it, and turned it forcefully. Faint mechanical sounds came, and following the direction of the sound, Dongfang Changqing lifted the bed board of Long Yi, revealing a dark entrance to the underground in front of him.
Seeing this opening, Dongfang Changqing suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.
There seemed to be some hidden danger below this opening, and even with his cultivation at the Divine Ability Realm, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
Dongfang Changqing knew that this was a warning from his spiritual platform. There was probably something terrifying below.
However, he had already investigated this far, how could he give up halfway?
Without hesitating for too long, Dongfang Changqing sent a spiritual message to Chen Guang, asking him to be ready to help at any time, and then jumped down decisively.
Chen Guang was Dongfang Changqing's greatest confidence. If he wanted to do something, how could Chen Guang not follow?
It's just that as a Dao Integration expert, it was inconvenient for him to personally investigate. If a junior was caught, it could be said that they were ignorant, but if a senior was caught, it would be embarrassing.
With Chen Guang secretly protecting him, it was unlikely that there would be any danger.
In this way, Dongfang Changqing ignored the warning of the crisis and jumped into the secret room.
At this moment, the meeting between Long Yi and Zhang Chi was also coming to an end.
They had already discussed the details of the wedding ceremony and the benefits that Zhang Chi could enjoy in the Dragon Transformation Palace.
As Long Yan's Dao companion, he had the right to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Decision. As for the Divine Dragon Nine Transformations, Zhang Chi would have to learn the Dragon Transformation Decision and reach a certain level before Long Yan could teach it to him.
This was equivalent to giving Long Yan the opportunity to bestow grace.
Furthermore, Long Yi stated that Zhang Chi could officially join the Dragon Transformation Palace in the future as long as his cultivation reached the Divine Ability Realm, and he could even become the palace lord of the Dragon Transformation Palace.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi naturally had a humble and fearful expression, saying that he was not suitable to be the palace lord. However, Long Yan didn't know what he was thinking and instead expressed her approval with great joy.
She really wanted Zhang Chi to be the palace lord.
She felt that Zhang Chi was intelligent and upright, able to consider the overall situation while also safeguarding the interests of the sect.
Unlike Yin Xun, who only cared about personal gain and completely disregarded benevolence, righteousness, and morality, thus damaging the reputation of the Dragon Transformation Palace.
Regarding this, Zhang Chi could only say, "Thank you."
"If you keep saying that, I'm afraid I won't live to see the day when I become the palace lord..."
