Chapter 1651: Chapter 1671: This commotion can’t help but attract attention!_1

Lin Chen and his two companions flew along the lake, with gazes occasionally landing on them from various islands.

Lin Chen appeared nonchalant, strolling leisurely over the vast lake.

They continued this pace for half a day.

Lin Chen suddenly halted his steps, pulling out the carefully hidden map from his chest.

Lines on the black map, made from an unknown material, began to radiate tendrils of golden light.

It’s reacting! The location of the Cave Mansion must be near!

Looking around, Lin Chen saw nothing but a calm water surface. There weren’t any islands nor anything unusual to raise attention.

Multiple rounds around the water surface resulted in nothing. Lin Chen then hovered in mid-air, pulling out a Water-avoiding Bead he’d acquired from the East Sea Glass Palace.

"Go!"

The two followed Lin Chen into the water. The bead formed a large light sphere, encapsulating the three of them.

Lin Chen spread the map in his hand. The radiating light from the map’s lines had grown significantly brighter than before.

The three continued to dive, the light from the map growing increasingly intense.

The lake bottom’s depth was surprisingly profound. After diving several hundred meters, they still hadn’t reached the bottom.

All of a sudden, the map in Lin Chen’s hand started floating upwards as if pulled by an invisible force. It flew toward the dark lake bottom.

The three followed closely behind the map, diving deeper.

Underneath the inconceivably deep lake mud, rays of light seeping through the silt appeared. At the same time, the originally calm lake water started stirring, gradually forming a massive whirlpool.

The whirlpool swept across the lake bed, clearing out all the accumulated silt in an instant. Beneath it was a solid stone chamber that had been hidden under the lake bed’s silt. Runes on the stone chamber flickered with bright light.

The whirlpool seemed like a swirling tornado in water, extending to the surface, causing gigantic waves. The lake’s surface started sinking, forming a huge whirlpool. The scene was terrifying.

As Lin Chen studied all this happening, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

With such a tumult, it was impossible not to alarm others.

The commotion would likely not only attract other adventurers, but possibly also all members of the Qishan Mei Wang Sect who were stationed here, as they had set up an Array Formation.

As Lin Chen predicted, the commotion on the lake’s surface was immediately noticed by the disciples of the Qishan Mei Wang Sect on the central island.

They set up a detection Array Formation in the entire water area. Such significant spirit energy fluctuation triggered the array immediately.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In an instant, dozens of silhouettes rose from the Qishan Mei Wang Sect and rushed toward the whirlpool.

The movements of the Sect disciples alerted most of the cultivators in the water area. Figures shot out from the islands and the depths of the lake, chasing after the Sect members.

At the lake bed, the faint glow from the stone chamber had become brilliantly strong. The map floated directly above the stone chamber and landed in one of the Chambers on the lake bed.

In an instant, a massive Spiritual Qi Column shot into the sky, raising a great column of water toward the lake surface.

"Bang!"

The lake surface exploded, with surging spiritual Qi gushing out, causing sky-high waves. The scene was shocking.

With this explosion, cultivators within hundreds of miles sensed it. They all got up and rushed towards this place.

Lin Chen fell silent as he watched the intense explosion.

Even if the Cave Mansion was opened, couldn’t it be done more discreetly? Causing such a big fuss, it was as if it was afraid that too few people would notice.

Lin Chen furrowed his brows. He felt there was something wrong.

Suddenly, a spot in the stone chamber sprang up, revealing a groove. Its shape immediately reminded Lin Chen of the token in his hand.

Having caused such a huge commotion, and seeing the situation, Lin Chen found it impossible to stop now.

He flew forward and inserted the token into the groove.

It fit perfectly!

After the token was placed, it sparked with golden light. Then, the protruded spot sucked back in, along with the token, disappearing into the stone chamber.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

It sounded as though stone walls in the chamber were moving, emitting dull noises. Meanwhile, multiple walls of the chamber slowly sunk, eventually fixing themselves and forming a staircase leading down.

At the end of the stone steps was a tall stone door. Runes on the door flashed with light, pushing all the lake water aside and forming a ’Light Door’ in the center of the stone door.

Fan Cuihong joyously exclaimed, "A passage has appeared!"

Lin Chen looked up. Over a hundred light-wrapped figures were falling from above like torpedos. They were closing in rapidly.

Lin Chen sighed. Even though he’d opened the Cave Mansion himself, it seemed impossible to enter quietly and easily obtain items within.

When Lonely Flying Swallow gave him the map and token, she probably hadn’t envisioned the situation to be like this, either.

Time didn’t allow Lin Chen to ponder any longer. Since the passage to the Cave Mansion had been opened, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate and ordered softly, "Enter!"
