Chapter 91: Chapter 88 Grassroots and the Court_3

Dugu Qian’s eyelid twitched slightly, and he immediately raised his hand.

In the distance, a figure leapt down from the tree and quickly disappeared.

Dugu Qian looked at Chang Xuan. He truly hadn’t expected to encounter such a troublesome character in Xianyang City. Taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "Speak, what do you want?"

Chang Xuan displayed a meaningful smile,

"I want a name."

"Who in the Captain Bureau leaked secrets to you..."

Inside the cave, it was dark and damp.

It was somewhat cramped inside, not only with water accumulating on the ground, making it difficult to walk, but also with dense tree roots hanging from above. Spiders and poisonous insects scuttled inside.

A Daoist from the Law Enforcement Hall touched the cave wall and shook his head, "No wonder they’ve raised so many wild dogs; it’s to dig caves, and it seems they’ve been doing this for years."

Luo Mingzi stared at the chaotic footprints on the ground and said coldly, "Years ago, the beggar chief, Old Man Shan, took over the Western Beggar Gang, which must have been to plan this. If it weren’t for someone leaking the news, who could have imagined a Mountain Tai Sui would be nurtured within the Chaotic Burial Mound."

Li Yan appeared pensive, "The person who leaked the information likely has ill intentions as well."

Luo Mingzi nodded, "Don’t worry, someone is investigating in secret."

As they spoke, he held a Dharma Seal to perform the Baopu Mountain Climbing Skill.

Rustle...

Hidden poisonous snakes and insects panicked and fled. Not far away, a shadowy black mist also sank into the ground and quickly vanished.

Clearly, neither the poisonous snakes nor the yin soul could stop them.

Seeing this, Li Yan shook his head internally.

Being with these experts, he felt a bit useless.

Although his smell superpower was indeed extraordinary, besides Luo Mingzi, even the old man from the Law Enforcement Hall had a second-level Dao. The remaining young men had also built their temples, and their Divine Skills far surpassed his.

One was skilled in using ear powers, able to hear movements within hundreds of meters.

Another was adept with eye powers, able to discern Yin and Yang and see things in the dark.

The remaining three were skilled in physical prowess, excelling in combat.

Their coordination left him with no room to display his skills.

He figured they would catch the person soon.

However, Li Yan didn’t come in vain this time.

Whether it was the Captain Bureau’s methods or the Law Enforcement Hall’s spell coordination, it was eye-opening for him, and he secretly noted down what he learned.

Another strong suit of his was his ability to draw inferences.

Martial arts techniques were like this, and spells were no exception.

Like the Zhou Family’s Ape Jump, just by watching it once, he could integrate it into his Red Fist and Blade Technique, devising various strategies to employ Hidden Energy techniques.

This could perhaps be a gift from a past life, the ability to see problems from outside the box.

Their speed was swift, and without realizing it, they had delved deep underground.

Inside, there were numerous branching caves, many of which were dead ends, but the footprints on the ground couldn’t be erased, and with everyone’s Divine Skills, they remained unbaffled.

Finally, the muddy tunnels disappeared, and the ground turned to rock.

Looking up, they saw a stone cave with signs of human excavation. To the left, a passage blocked by loose stones.

Farther ahead, multiple forked paths appeared once more.

The earthen tunnel they passed through precisely opened onto the other side of the stone wall.

On the stone wall, there was a shrine carved by human hands, its Divine Statue overgrown with mottled moss and corroded beyond recognition.

Li Yan was a little surprised, "Is it an ancient tomb?"

Those shrines appeared to be very old, clearly not the work of the Beggar Gang.

"It’s not."

Luo Mingzi glanced around and shook his head, "The history of the Divine State is ancient. Since the times of the Ancient Tribes, people have been exploring everywhere, coupled with the countless supernatural occurrences during those barbaric times. Hence, the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’ recorded gods dwelling in every mountain."

"This custom of worship has never stopped being passed down. Wherever there’s something supernatural, people would burn incense and pray. In ancient times, this place was where people worshiped the Mountain God. The Mountain Tai Sui gained Divine Astral from the Power of Incense, but problems arose later, and the passage collapsed."

Just as Li Yan was about to speak, a sudden pain surged in his left palm, and his vision blurred. Vaguely, he saw a scene:

In the dark cave, an old man dressed in tree bark, with moss-covered beard, his face eerily pale, was opening and closing his mouth, eyes full of pleading...
