In front of the secret passage, Yin Kuang’s expression became very serious, carefully taking step by step forward.

Behind, Li Ziye stood still, not following.

He had a premonition that this trip was not going to be easy.

Before his thoughts could settle, Yin Kuang had just taken a few steps forward when suddenly, the ground beneath his feet sank, and countless arrows flew out from the walls on both sides.

“Impossible!”

Yin Kuang’s expression changed, and he swiftly dodged the arrows one after another.

Seeing this from behind, Li Ziye’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “Go back!”

Hearing the reminder, Yin Kuang didn’t dare to hesitate any longer and immediately retreated to the entrance of the secret passage.

“How could this happen!”

After returning to the entrance, Yin Kuang looked at the arrows on the ground ahead, full of confusion. He hadn’t taken the wrong path, so why did he still trigger the mechanism?

“Not surprising.”

Li Ziye replied, “You stole the Yin family’s Fiery Iron Essence before. If the Yin family didn’t take precautions, that would be truly surprising. The mechanisms in this secret passage must have all been changed.”

“What should we do, just give up like this?”

Yin Kuang’s face was heavy. They had laid out the plan for so long, it would be a pity to give up now.

“Of course, we can’t give up. You go outside and keep watch, I’ll handle this!”

Li Ziye gazed at the secret passage ahead, his expression calm.

Originally, the plan was for Yin Kuang to successfully obtain what he wanted by passing through these mechanisms, which would be the best outcome, and Li Ziye wouldn’t have to take the risk. But now, it seemed that it wasn’t going to be that easy.

Upon hearing this, Yin Kuang’s expression changed slightly. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he nodded and said, “Young Master, be careful.”

After speaking, Yin Kuang turned and left the secret passage to stand guard outside.

At the entrance, Li Ziye looked at the dark and gloomy secret passage ahead. After a moment, he leaped out like a bolt of lightning.

At the same time, the entire secret passage seemed to come alive. Countless arrows flew out from the walls on both sides, like a torrential rain, shooting towards the intruder.

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The arrows hit the stone slabs, sparks flying everywhere as Li Ziye’s figure darted through, moving unbelievably fast.

The Flying Immortal Technique, known as the number one technique in the world, had the greatest feature of extremely fast body movement, second to none in the world, apart from its exquisite sword techniques.

So, facing the mechanisms in the Yin family’s secret passage, Li Ziye used the Flying Immortal Technique to break through with absolute speed.

In just a few breaths, Li Ziye’s figure reached the end of the secret passage, coming to a stop.

Behind him, the ground was covered with arrows, the entire floor and walls pockmarked. Obviously, if these arrows were shot at a person, they would probably turn them into a sieve.

At the end of the secret passage, Li Ziye looked at the stone door ahead, a strange glint in his eyes.

Could the mechanism of this stone door have changed as well?

In his thoughts, Li Ziye raised his hand and simultaneously rotated the two stone rings on the stone door.

In an instant, a rumbling sound echoed in the silent secret passage, and the stone door slowly opened.

As Li Ziye stepped inside, at that moment, a dark figure suddenly pounced from within the stone chamber.

Sensing the sudden danger, Li Ziye reacted, stepping aside to avoid the pouncing figure.

What came into view was a child who looked about four feet tall, with disheveled hair and a terrifyingly fierce face.

However, after Li Ziye truly saw the person’s face, he realized that the figure in front of him was not a child, but an adult.

A dwarf!

Li Ziye’s heart sank, and it was an agile dwarf.

“A warrior?”

Li Ziye’s face showed a serious expression, not daring to be careless. He untied his belt, drew out a soft sword, and infused it with true energy, causing the soft sword to become straight and emit a cold light.

“Roar!”

In the stone chamber, the dwarf roared, pouncing once again.

At the same time, a silver light appeared on the dwarf’s chest, and the Divine Hidden Technique roared.

Seeing this, Li Ziye narrowed his eyes.

As expected!

“Bang!”

As the dwarf pounced, Li Ziye dodged, and at the same time, the stone pillar behind him was directly broken, with flying debris, terrifying the mind.

Seeing that the dwarf’s skills were extraordinary, Li Ziye didn’t want to linger too long. He scanned the surrounding chamber, preparing to find the whereabouts of the “Heavenly Art of Artificing.”

Yin Kuang said that the “Heavenly Art of Artificing” was placed in a blue box, but there were too many things here. When would he find it!

“Roar!”

Before he could take a few glances, the dwarf once again let out an angry roar and pounced like a hungry beast.

Li Ziye frowned, dodging the figure once again.

The chamber was not too large, and the dwarf’s stature was small and agile. Every time he missed, he pounced again, like a hungry wild animal, refusing to give up without catching its prey.

Li Ziye dodged time and time again, while also taking the opportunity to search for the whereabouts of the “Heavenly Art of Artificing.”

“Clang!”

After dodging several times in a row, the dwarf’s attacks became more and more fierce. Finally, unable to avoid it, Li Ziye swung his sword, directly blocking the figure’s attack head-on.

The harsh friction sound rang out, and the dwarf’s hands were as hard as rock, able to withstand the sharp edge of the sword with his flesh and blood.

“Hmm?”

Seeing this, Li Ziye kicked the dwarf’s knees, using the momentum to retreat ten meters away.

“Trouble!”

Li Ziye glanced at the dwarf’s hands in front of him, his brow furrowing lightly.

Such hard claws, he didn’t know where the Yin family had found such a monster.

“Roar!”

Ten steps away, the dwarf let out a low roar, its eyes like those of a greedy and murderous wild beast.”I didn’t want to harm you, but now it seems I have no choice but to beat you down before you’ll let me search in peace!”

As he spoke, Li Ziye’s expression turned cold, no longer willing to dodge, his figure shot out like a meteor.

At the same time, the dwarf also charged excitedly, his sharp claws aiming to tear apart the prey before him.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing with stone rang out again, Li Ziye’s flexible sword instantly changed direction, and at the same time, he pivoted on his foot, darting behind the dwarf.

Slash!

The long sword tore through clothing, blood splattered, and the dwarf let out a piercing scream, immediately turning around and pouncing again.

Li Ziye bent his body to dodge the claws, then grasped his sword with both hands, stepped forward, steadied himself, and with a sword strike that shattered the heavens, he brought it down thunderously.

“Roar!”

As danger approached, the dwarf howled in fear, and with the instinctive reaction of a wild beast, he desperately rolled to the side.

Boom!

A loud crash echoed as a three-foot sword qi tore through the air, and a shelf filled with treasures was cut in half, all the treasures falling down, clattering all over the floor.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, among the treasures scattered on the ground, a green wooden box also fell down, conspicuously catching Li Ziye’s eye, his face revealing a look of joy.

Finally found it!

Just as Li Ziye located the whereabouts of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Technique, in the Yin family’s backyard, under the raging fire, the scene became even more chaotic.

The backyard fire lit up half the sky in red, and the Yin family members, young and old, all came to put out the fire, even the officials were alarmed and sent troops to help.

Outside the Yin residence, Yan Xiaoyu, dressed in a moon-white robe, walked forward, his gaze fixed on the blazing fire ahead, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

The fire was indeed fierce.

However, he always felt that this fire was very strange.

The timing was too coincidental.

This fire, neither earlier nor later, chose to break out on the grand birthday of the Yin family’s patriarch, no matter how one looked at it, it seemed like someone had done it on purpose.

“Make way, if you’re not going to help put out the fire, don’t block the road!”

At this moment, from behind, an official pushed Yan Xiaoyu aside and hurriedly entered the Yin residence with his men.

Yan Xiaoyu frowned, looking with disgust at the spot the official had touched.

It seemed that this robe would have to be discarded when he returned.

The autumn wind blew, bringing a chill, and the sunlight on the street gradually disappeared.

Yan Xiaoyu sensed it and looked towards the sky.

Above, the sun had disappeared without notice, and thick clouds covered the light, showing signs of impending rain.

However, inside and outside the Yin residence, everyone was busy putting out the fire, and no one noticed the change in the weather.

In front of the Yin residence, Yan Xiaoyu looked at the dark clouds in the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly curving up.

God of Light above, thank you for your care.

“God says, all beings suffer.”

Yan Xiaoyu spoke, his voice not loud, yet it resounded like thunder in the ears of everyone inside and outside the Yin residence.

In an instant, Yan Xiaoyu’s body shone with a pure white radiance, and two divine orifices roared, and the next moment, a white column of light shot straight into the sky, dazzling and blinding.

“What is that?”

Inside and outside the Yin residence, everyone’s attention was drawn to this astonishing scene, their eyes fixed on the white column of light, faces showing shock.

“God says, let there be sweet rain.”

Outside the Yin residence, Yan Xiaoyu spoke again, and immediately, the white light around him became even more brilliant.

“Boom!”

Just then, thunder roared above the sky, followed by drops of rain falling from the heavens, sprinkling upon the world.

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the Yin residence was stunned.

A miracle!

“A miracle!”

“This is a miracle!”

“A miracle!”

Someone shouted, and then everyone excitedly followed suit.

The rain grew heavier, and the people’s excitement grew stronger.

Under the heavy rain, the fire at the Yin residence gradually weakened, and it looked as if it would soon be extinguished.

“Old Master, it’s the Divine Child from the Heavenly Edict Hall!”

At this time, a Servant Boy ran over breathlessly, excitedly saying, “It’s the Divine Child from the Heavenly Edict Hall who has brought us this rain!”

The Yin family, including the old patriarch, upon hearing this, immediately rushed outside the residence.

In front of the Yin residence, under the pouring rain, Yan Xiaoyu raised his hands, bathed in the white divine light, his demeanor transcendent and otherworldly, like a deity descended to earth, saving all beings.

Without further ado, led by the old patriarch, the Yin family members came to the front of the residence, looking at the young man beneath the white column of light, all showing gratitude as they thanked him:

“Thank you, Divine Child!”

“Thank you, Divine Child, for helping to bring rain and extinguish the fire!”

“Thank you so much!”

Outside the residence, the Yin family members expressed their gratitude, continuously thanking him, and on both sides of the street, many commoners who witnessed this miracle were equally excited.

Could it be that there really are gods in this world?

And is this Divine Child from the Heavenly Edict Hall the incarnation of a god on earth?

“Old Master Yin, you are too kind.”

In front of the Yin residence, Yan Xiaoyu revealed a kind smile, calmly saying, “This is all thanks to the care of the God of Light.”

Not far away, in a carriage, Hong Zhu, who had witnessed everything from the beginning, showed a look of disdain.

Nonsense about the God of Light.

People from the Heavenly Edict Hall really are a bunch of charlatans spouting lies!
