The person who followed them also came to this fork in the road and thought carefully in the darkness. Suddenly, the passage lit up. Countless torches were burning, illuminating the road in front of them.
The man looked down at the footprints on the ground and found that there was a row of footprints on the right. It was obviously a man's footprints. He was immediately overjoyed and quickly followed the footprints.
However, Mo Lingyun did not stop after entering the secret door. Instead, he continued to walk forward. His eyes seemed to be able to see everything clearly in the darkness. There was no hesitation in his footsteps. The secret passage was very long. As he advanced, the torches on both sides lit up continuously, illuminating the road.
When he reached the end, two fully armed soldiers stood in front of a wall.
When they saw who it was, they could not help but stand up straight and shout in unison,"Cult Master!"
Mo Lingyun nodded. He stretched out his slender hands and drew a strange symbol on the wall. The wall began to move slowly, like a door opening.
"Someone has entered the forbidden area. Don't make a sound and let him enjoy himself!”
Mo Lingyun's cold words reached the ears of the two soldiers. They nodded and looked behind the wall, but he was no longer there.
The so-called forbidden area was the most dangerous place in the Qing Ming House. It was used to resist the attacks of outsiders.
The forbidden area was made up of forty-one checkpoints. Even the top ten of the Qilin List would not be able to come out of the forbidden area if they did not know the mysteries.
The forbidden area was located right below the Qing Ming House headquarters. One could enter through the tenth bronze door. Mo Lingyun had just entered the tenth door. However, everyone in the sect knew that there were two secret doors in this passage. One was at the first fork in the road, and the other was at the left side of the fork in the road. However, strangers would not be able to discover it because these secret doors were all designed by Mo Lingyun himself.
The Qing Ming House was the number one church in the martial world. It had a history of more than 400 years and Mo Lingyun was the sixth leader.
The Green Sanctuary Cult was spread all over the continent. Each of their branches were built on the mountains. They were located in the most dangerous places of the mountains. Ordinary people could not reach them. Moreover, there were many traps.
The headquarters of the Green Sanctuary Cult was located in the Lang Mountain behind the Prince's mansion. Or it could be said that the Lang Mountain was just a cover for the Green Sanctuary Cult. The entire Lang Mountain was the headquarters of the Green Sanctuary Cult. Mount Lang occupied a large area, from the southeast corner of the capital to the outskirts of the city. One could imagine how big the headquarters of the Qing Ming House was. Below the headquarters of the Green Sanctuary Cult was their forbidden area. The true purpose of the forbidden area was not to defend against external attacks. Its true identity was the highest secret of the church. Only the Hierarch and his trusted aides knew.
Mo Lingyun entered the wall and his vision widened.
In front of him was no longer a secret passage made of red soil, but a passage neatly paved with bronze. On both sides of the wall, there were strange blue flames that were burning, emitting a faint blue light in the darkness.
The further Mo Lingyun walked, the wider the passage became. A huge pool appeared in front of him.
The pool was made of pure gold, and the dome above the pool was inlaid with a huge and rare luminous pearl, emitting a soft blue-purple color. It made the blooming blood lotus flower in the pool look even more enchanting.
The Blood Lotus was the symbol of the Qing Ming House. Every member of the Qing Ming House had a tattoo of a lotus with green petals and red stamen on their right wrist. Once he activated his internal strength, the lotus would emit green and red light, making it exceptionally beautiful.
After walking around the pool for another ten steps, the color of the torch turned into a scorching red, emitting light in the dark passageway. Another bronze door appeared in front of Mo Lingyun, but this door was even larger and the patterns were even more detailed. Four men of sacrifice stood on both sides of the bronze door. They were masked and dressed in black, hiding in the darkness where torches could not find them. They were like ghosts that made one's heart palpitate.
"Cult Master!" The four of them greeted Mo Lingyun respectfully when they saw him.
"Yes, guard it well. It's been tough.”Although the rumors said that Mo Lingyun was bloodthirsty and inhumane, he still showed a lot of concern for his church brothers who had risked their lives for him.
"Yes, sir!"
One of the four men opened the bronze door for Mo Lingyun. After Mo Lingyun walked in, the man closed the door again. There was no sound during the process.
"Greetings, Cult Master!" He walked inside and found himself in a spacious and magnificent hall. The high-ranking members of the Qing Ming House were all waiting for him here. At the end of the hall, there was a slightly darker place. There was a throne made of glass and crystal. It was placed on the top of the steps. That was the position of the Hierarch.
When everyone saw Mo Lingyun, they bowed and made way for him, leaving a path paved with jade in the middle that led to the throne. Mo Lingyun climbed up the stairs along the jade path. Then, he turned around and sat down slowly.
"How have you been recently?"
"Recently, everything in the sect has been peaceful.”Blue Blade, the vice leader of the Green Sanctuary Cult, replied. His face was filled with the wisdom of an elder.
"En, I'm sure everyone knows that there was someone who followed me all the way just now. Unfortunately, he entered my sect's forbidden area.”Mo Lingyun looked at the people below and said," That is to say, there are still people who are taking action against our Qing Ming House. Therefore, everyone must be careful at all times. Remember the secret passage behind the tenth bronze door. Don't rashly enter the forbidden area.”
"Yes." Everyone answered in unison, their voices as loud as bells.
"Lin Yong!"
"Your subordinate is here." The person who answered was a tall and muscular man. He had a big beard, dark skin, and a faint scar. It was not difficult to tell that he was a rough man.
"Order your Fire Cavalry to guard every single bronze door.”Mo Lingyun said firmly.
The bronze door was the only way to get to the headquarters of the Qing Ming House. There were twelve bronze doors in Lang Mountain, which were not evenly distributed. There were only two doors that could actually enter the headquarters. Three of them were used as illusions to confuse the enemy, and the other four were used to escape. However, it was only going out and not going in. Those who came in would only feel like walking through a maze. Moreover, the design of this maze was ingenious. Outsiders would not walk in. If they wanted to walk in, they would just walk into the forbidden area and seek death. One of the other two doors led directly to the forbidden area, while the other door was another secret of the Qing Ming House. Ordinary members couldn't know about it.
Everyone was told that they could not leave this door. Whoever left would be killed without mercy!
"Yes, sir!" Lin Yong cupped his fists and received the order.
"Everyone, in three months, we'll be fighting for the Qilin List. I wonder if you have any plans to maintain our sect's number one position.”
"Cult Master." A pleasant female voice came from the crowd. Following the voice, one could see that it was a woman wrapped in a black robe. Her face was dignified, but she was also a beautiful person.
"Four months ago, the new batch of members who entered the church went through a strict screening process. Only two people remained, a pair of siblings.”
"How are these two?"
"His stamina, speed, and internal strength are all excellent. He can make it to the twentieth stage in the forbidden area.”
The forbidden area was also a training ground for members, but the places where they could train were only the first to the twenty-eighth stage. The later stages were the abnormal levels, which were specially used to prevent experts. After passing the 10th stage, one could become a death warrior or a fire cavalry. After passing the 20th stage, one could become a death spirit killer of the Qing Ming House.
"Very good, Guan Mingyue. I'll leave the training of the members to you. You must be strict!”Mo Lingyun nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that he could be at ease to teach his best trainer many things in the future…
