Yang Ruyan, Zhang Xin, and the others followed the original path and explored all the secret chambers. Just like the ones Ye Yulin and the other two had encountered, these secret chambers were easily opened. Of course, there was nothing inside.
Yang Ruyan walked all the way back to the fork. He looked to the right again. He stood up and began to move in that direction. Zhang Xin and the others followed him without any objections.
Compared to the passage on the left, this one was even gloomier. There were no stone doors, only smooth walls. The light from the oil lamp swayed without any wind, and the air was filled with a strange factor. It was as if there was a deep pit in front of them that could fall into it at any time, and a wall would appear at any time to block their way out. Yang Ruyan even thought that he could hear a woman's cries and laughter. He asked Zhang Xin and the others, but they all said they didn't hear him. This made his hair stand on end, and he almost had the thought of retreating. A real man could not show timidity. He had to be fearless like his big brother at all times. He said to himself, panting as he walked forward with trepidation.
The deeper he went, the colder the chill that seeped into his bones became. Not far away, there was a clear sound of laughter, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a miserable cry. The light of the oil lamp swayed even more violently. Yang Ruyan was still a child. He was so scared that he grabbed Zhang Xin's arm tightly and refused to let go. Zhang Xin quickly patted his head to comfort him. The rest of them had gone through life and death with Wei Yao, so they didn't care much about this scene.
As they got closer and closer to the sound, Yang Ruyan and the others couldn't help but cover their noses because there was a stench that made them feel nauseous. What kind of place was this? Yang Ruyan thought that it was probably not much worse than hell. There were no oil lamps on either side of the passage, so it looked pitch-black. Zhang Xin stopped and said,"Wait a minute, who has something that can illuminate?"”Each of them took out a lighter and lit it up."We all have it on us, but one is enough. Save it. We don't know how long the road ahead is.”Zhang Xin nodded and continued forward. Yang Ruyan was still tugging at his sleeve as if he was his life-saving straw. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, almost jumping up."Ghost, ghost! He grabbed my leg!" The others were shocked and quickly shone fire on his feet. They saw a withered hand holding his feet tightly. Looking closely at the owner of the hand, the face was so pale that only skin and bones were left. It looked like a skeleton, and there was long white hair. She seemed to have not seen light for a long time. Her eyes narrowed and she gritted her teeth. Everyone could not help but take a step back. Then, another person shouted,"Something grabbed my clothes!”Everyone hurriedly looked over. That person had already been dragged to the ground. A few skinny hands grabbed him tightly and dragged him inside. However, he was blocked by the iron railing and could not advance or retreat. Zhang Xin and the others hurried up and spent a lot of effort to pull him back. The man's clothes were already riddled with holes. The first person to take out the lighter said,"Quickly take out all the firesticks!”For a moment, the passage was much brighter, and the situation in front of everyone was clear. Everyone gasped at the scene before them.
Both sides of the passage were blocked by iron railings. There were about 20 rooms within their sight. Each room was about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide. There were five to six women in the rooms. They were all wearing white long clothes. Their faces were pale. Some leaned against the wall and shed tears, while others stared outside with terrifying expressions. Some were crying, some were laughing, some were even singing, and some were fighting like madmen. "Are these people crazy?" Yang Ruyan asked unconsciously.”
Zhang Xin sighed." Su Jianye has snatched so many women, and he changes them almost every day. However, I haven't seen any of them in the courtyard. It seems that he's locked them up here after he got tired of playing with them."”" Yes," one of them said." There's no light here, and the air is not circulating. There's no way to escape. These women are all driven crazy."”Yang Ruyan looked carefully and said," Let's go forward. I really hope that Sister Xiaoxiao isn't here!"!”"Su Jianye's lust hasn't been satisfied yet, so Young Miss shouldn't be locked up here," Zhang Xin said.”Yuren nodded and remained silent. He did not dare to look at the faces of those women. He only wanted to quickly find the person he was looking for and then leave this depressing and tragic place.
Yang Ruyan finally saw the end of this long passage. He estimated that there were about 40 rooms in total. Some of the rooms were empty, and each room had four to six people. There were no beds, tables, and stools. He could only see a few stone bowls that looked like rice bowls outside the rooms. They were probably used to pour rice there for people to eat. When they were about to reach the end, they realized that something was wrong. The two opposite rooms were very different. One was filled with sacks, and the bags were bulging. They did not know what was inside. The stench was coming from there. "This stench is like the stench of a corpse!" Yang Ruyan said.!”"Su Jianye must have ordered his men to dump the dead woman here. That way, we don't have to bring her to the surface to cause trouble!" Zhang Xin said in realization.!”Everyone agreed. In the other room, there was a bed covered with the best bedding commonly used by wealthy families. There was also a table and a stool. There were dishes on the table, and it seemed that they had not been touched. There was no one. They covered their noses and looked at each other. Yang Ruyan's eyes suddenly caught sight of something. He pounced on the railing and shouted,""That's the jade pendant on Little Sister!!”"Really?" Zhang Xin was shocked. In order to force Miss to submit, Su Jianye actually locked her up in such a place!!”"Let's chase after them," one of them said anxiously."Su Jianye must have seen us coming and secretly ran over to take them away."”Yang Ruyan nodded, then shook his head." That's not right. When we reached the fork in the road, Su Jianye didn't go this way. Instead, he continued to follow us." If he wanted to take her away, why would he follow us?”"He's trying to deceive us. He's deliberately letting us know that he's still with us. This way, we won't think that his purpose in coming to the secret room is actually to take Miss away."”They nodded. "Then let's meet up with Big Brother and the others first and explain the situation so that they won't continue searching there."”Someone said,"Let's split up. Young Master Yang, go find your big brother and send someone to report to Lord Wei. The rest will go after Su Jianye."”Yu Renqi nodded. This was indeed very thoughtful. The few of them immediately returned to the fork and split up. Zhang Xin followed Wei Yao's men to chase after the person, while Yang Ruyan and the other person went the same way and rushed to their respective destinations.
After turning the corner, Yang Ruyan found that the doors of the secret chamber were all open. He knew that Ye Yulin and Yang Junru had already searched the place, so he kept moving forward without stopping.
