Chapter 558 [Old 9 Gate 37]
The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the bed. Youyou opened her eyes and stretched. She picked up her cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?" A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
"My name is Youyou. Lu Jianxun is always making trouble in Changsha. You should transfer Lu Jianxun away." Youyou said directly.
There was a moment of silence, then she replied, "Yes, miss."
After hanging up the phone, Youyou smiled. This Lin Shiqi was someone she had arranged before. Unexpectedly, after he joined the army, he relied on his own ability and Youyou's support to be promoted all the way and now holds a high position. This time, Lu Jianxun was able to be transferred, thanks to his help.
At the same time, the heads of the nine sects gathered together and held an important meeting. They sat around a round table, and the atmosphere was serious and tense.
"Everyone, let's discuss how many people each company should send to the mine." Zhang Qishan spoke first.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and after a heated discussion, they finally decided that each family would send 20 elites. Although the number was small, they were all top masters from each family, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Then, everyone started to discuss the specific candidates. Everyone proposed a capable person in their family, and after a round of screening, they finally determined the list of people going to the mine.
The list is as follows: Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong, Chenpi, Banjie Li, Wu Laogou, Blackback Laoliu, Huo Jinxi, Qi Tiezui, Jie Youyou and the outstanding children of each family.
However, as Mr. Jie Jiu had business to attend to, he was unable to go in person, so You You led the Jie family's disciples to go together.
Finally, Zhang Qishan left Zhang Rishan behind and asked him to manage his affairs to prevent anyone from doing harm to the Zhang family while he was away.
Following the order, the Jiumen team set off in a mighty procession. They were dressed in uniform and carried heavy bags, like a well-trained army. Everyone's face was filled with determination and resolve. They knew the importance of this expedition and understood the heavy responsibility they shouldered.
Er Yuehong led everyone to the front of the mine, and he scanned the surrounding environment with sharp eyes. This was once a prosperous mine, but now it seemed particularly deserted and mysterious.
Er Yuehong took a deep breath, then turned to Qi Tiezui and said, "Old Eight, we need to find a safe entrance and avoid those traps."
Qi Tiezui nodded, and he took out a map and studied it carefully.
After some deduction, he finally found a new entrance. This entrance was located on the other side of the mine and seemed relatively hidden.
Qi Tiezui excitedly reported to everyone: "Second Master, I found it! We can go in from this side, and should be able to avoid most of the traps."
Er Yuehong nodded in agreement. Then, everyone changed direction and headed towards the new entrance. Along the way, they carefully avoided possible traps and dangers and remained vigilant at all times.
When they arrived at the new entrance, Er Yuehong reminded again: "Everyone be careful and don't touch anything suspicious. If you find anything abnormal, send a signal immediately." After that, he took the lead and walked into the cave.
When Jude Kao learned that the Nine Gates had already started to act, he was filled with doubts. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "When did the Nine Gates become so united? I always thought they had their own selfish motives, but I didn't expect that they could work together now."
Tanaka Yoshiko stood aside, looking at Jude Kao's expression, she was also very surprised. She originally thought that the nine sects would fight each other, but she didn't expect that they would be able to unite now. She couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are we just going to sit back and do nothing?"
Jude nodded, a sly light flashed in his eyes. He decided to lead a team to follow the Nine Gates to see what secrets they were looking for. He believed that as long as he followed the Nine Gates, he would be able to find the answer.
So, Qiu Dekao and Tanaka Ryoko led their men to quickly pack up their equipment and followed closely behind Jiumen. They sneaked into the cave quietly, trying not to attract anyone's attention.
After Zhang Qishan and others entered the cave, they found it was pitch black. They lit torches and groped forward carefully. After walking for a while, they found a vertical entrance in front of them.
Two men volunteered to go down first to explore the way. They tied ropes and slowly descended. However, when they approached the ground, they were suddenly frightened by the triggering of a human face mechanism. Their hands loosened and they fell heavily to the ground. Then, another mechanism was triggered, and countless hidden arrows shot out from the wall.
Zhang Qishan saw this and immediately shouted, "Hurry up and pull them up!" The others quickly pulled the rope and pulled the two men back up. Zhang Qishan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the situation below is more complicated than I thought. I will lead the team down myself." As he said that, he tied the rope and carefully descended.
The group carefully went down to the tomb. The atmosphere was eerie and scary, and strange noises were heard from time to time, which made people shudder. Fortunately, Zhang Qishan, Youyou and Er Yuehong were very familiar with this kind of doorway. With their superb skills, they successfully led everyone to avoid many deadly traps.
However, when they came to a road covered with silk nets, some of the men could not bear the pressure of fear and began to run around in panic. Unfortunately, they were entangled in the silk nets, triggering the aggressiveness of the silk nets. Qi Tiezui was also involved and trapped in the silk wall.
Youyou calmly reminded: "Everyone, be careful and don't touch anything casually, otherwise you may die without knowing how."
"Yes!" Everyone nodded and became more cautious.
Although Zhang Qishan was agile, he felt a little overwhelmed by the numerous strange silk screen attacks. At this moment, Er Yuehong suddenly discovered that the silk screen would melt into water once it came into contact with salt. He hurriedly sprinkled a handful of salt, destroying part of the silk screen, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, use salt quickly, these silks are afraid of salt!"
After hearing Er Yuehong's suggestion, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. They took out the salt they carried with them and sprinkled it on the surrounding wire meshes. Sure enough, those scary wire meshes quickly turned into liquid and no longer posed a threat. In the end, everyone successfully got rid of the predicament and continued to move forward.
They walked forward along the passage, carefully observing the surrounding environment. Suddenly, a wall appeared in front of them, blocking their way. They had no choice but to return the same way.
When they returned to the place where Qi Tiezui had just disappeared, Er Yuehong carefully observed the surrounding situation and said, "This wall should be hollow." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qishan reached out and gently touched the wall. After confirming that there was no danger, everyone went into the wall one after another.
Inside the wall was a narrow passage with dim light, but a door could be seen at the end. They carefully pushed open the door and found a spacious room inside. Qi Tiezui was standing in the middle of the room, looking at them nervously.
