At the end of the corridor, a group of fully armed members from the Qi Gong Association was approaching them. Leading the pack was a burly man with a face full of flesh, wielding a glinting machete, exuding an aura of menace.
Lin Yuan's heart sank as he thought, "Goodness, this luck is more thrilling than buying a lottery ticket! Running into a patrol team like this—did I forget to check the calendar before stepping out?"
Su Jiu'er was quick on her feet; she grabbed Lin Yuan and gestured for him to hide in a nearby small room. Fortunately, this secret base was built like a maze, with plenty of nooks and crannies—a perfect place for hide-and-seek.
The two slipped into a cluttered room filled with junk. Lin Yuan casually picked up a dusty antique vase. If this thing were to hit someone on the head, it would probably leave them with a "bloody mess."
"Wow, this place really is an antique warehouse! Even this thing is here!" Lin Yuan muttered quietly, weighing the vase in his hands. It felt sturdy enough, but he wasn't sure how durable it really was.
Su Jiu'er shot him a glare and whispered, "Is this really the time to admire antiques? Think of a way to get us out of here! If we're discovered, we'll be sitting ducks!"
The patrol team drew closer, their heavy footsteps and the clanging of metal echoed through the empty corridor like a death knell, sending chills down their spines.
Lin Yuan's mind raced, and suddenly he had an idea. He slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Got it! How could I almost forget my precious little treasure?"
He pulled out a talisman from his pocket—the Illusion Talisman he had "borrowed" from Zhou Haoran. This could come in handy at a critical moment, allowing them to experience the joy of invisibility.
Lin Yuan pressed the talisman against the door and recited the incantation. A golden light flashed from the talisman, and in an instant, the door became transparent, blending seamlessly with the surrounding walls as if it had vanished—more miraculous than any magic trick.
The patrol team reached the door and looked around but found nothing amiss. The burly leader scratched his head in confusion. "This is strange; I clearly heard something here! Could it be my ears are playing tricks on me?"
"Boss, this place feels eerie; it can't be haunted, can it?" one of his subordinates said tremulously, sounding as if he had seen a ghost.
"Haunted? You’ve been reading too many novels! There are no ghosts in this world!" The burly man slapped the back of his subordinate's head. "Get your act together and stop being paranoid! If the higher-ups find out we're slacking off, you better watch your heads!"
The patrol team continued down the corridor, gradually disappearing at the end, narrowly escaping a close call.
Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er finally breathed a sigh of relief as they stepped out of the room. "Phew, that was close! We almost got caught here!" Lin Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "This Illusion Talisman really works; it’s practically a lifesaver!"
However, Su Jiu'er remained frowning, her voice low. "Don't celebrate too soon; we’re not out of danger yet. We need to find the core secrets of the Qi Gong Association and get out of here quickly, or all of this will be for nothing."
The two continued deeper into the Secret Base. The rooms on either side of the corridor were filled with all sorts of bizarre devices and instruments, dazzling to behold, as if they had walked into a Science Fiction Movie set.
As Lin Yuan walked, he used his Guan Qi ability to sense the surrounding Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, hoping to find some useful clues. This ability was like having a built-in radar, helping him detect the flow of Lingqi around him—truly a treasure-hunting tool.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on a heavy Metal Door at the end of the corridor. The door was tightly shut, and the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation around it was unusually strong, as if something inside was stirring—clearly hiding some secrets.
"That's it!" Lin Yuan pointed at the door with determination in his voice. "I can sense powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation inside; the core secrets of the Qi Gong Association must be behind that door! I’m almost certain!"
Su Jiu'er nodded and took out an ancient-looking dagger from her waist. This dagger was a family heirloom, capable of cutting through iron like mud and incredibly sharp; it was said to be able to slay demons and monsters—a must-have for home travel and dealing with trouble.
"Are you ready?" Su Jiu'er looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with resolve as if they were about to embark on a life-and-death battle.
"Of course!" Lin Yuan grinned, excitement sparkling in his eyes. "I can’t wait to see what’s inside! I hope it doesn’t disappoint!"
The two approached the Metal Door. Su Jiu'er inserted the dagger into the gap of the door and pried it open with force. With a crack, the Metal Door swung open as if welcoming their arrival.
Behind the grand door lay a spacious underground chamber, filled with various high-tech equipment and training facilities, exuding a sense of futuristic technology. In the center stood a massive circular platform, shimmering with strange lights as if it were a gateway to another world, shrouded in mystery.
"Wow, this place is really impressive!" Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim. "The Qi Gong Association sure has deep pockets! I wonder where they get all this money; it can't be from money laundering, can it?"
Just then, a figure emerged from the shadows, blocking their path. It was a tall, mysterious person dressed in a black robe, wearing a mask that obscured their face. A powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation emanated from them, sending chills down one's spine, as if they were a messenger from hell.
"Who are you?" the mysterious figure asked coldly, their voice deep and hoarse, filled with intimidation.
"And who are you? Coming here to play tricks?" Lin Yuan retorted defiantly, his eyes filled with vigilance, showing no signs of being intimidated by the figure's presence.
"I am the guardian of this place, Shadow," the mysterious figure slowly removed their mask, revealing a handsome yet cold face, sharp and chiseled like it had been carved from stone, with eyes as keen as an eagle's.
"Shadow? Never heard of you. Which faction do you belong to?" Lin Yuan shrugged dismissively. "You're blocking our way; you’d better step aside before you regret it!"
"Hmph, unaware of your own mortality!" Shadow scoffed, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes like a venomous snake ready to strike. "Since you insist on trespassing here, don't blame me for being rude!"
Before he finished speaking, Shadow vanished in an instant and reappeared right in front of Lin Yuan, striking towards his chest with lightning speed.
Lin Yuan was already on guard; he sidestepped to evade the blow while launching a punch aimed at Shadow's face without holding back. Shadow raised his hand to block it, and their fists collided with a thunderous sound that echoed like a clap of thunder.
