Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 240: Turning Against Each Other

Regarding temperament, which of the Hundred Families of the Mystic Sect has a bigger temper than this person?

A wall of the pyramid rotated, revealing the world behind it. Sun Xiao took the lead, stepping inside first, then called out to Xia Mian, "Grand Ancestor, it’s safe, come in!"

Xia Mian exchanged a glance with Lu Zechuan and entered the pyramid side by side.

Inside was a long corridor, with golden glazed lamps hanging on both sides.

The entire corridor exuded an ancient charm, filled with a sense of antiquity.

Leading the way, Sun Xiao dared not make any sound, deeply fearing any noise he made would alert Qin Cui and trap them inside the pyramid.

As the trio ventured deeper, the light within grew dimmer.

What was stranger, despite walking for so long, they hadn’t seen any trace of Qin Cui.

Xia Mian narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you sure she is here?"

Apart from the corridor here, there absolutely wasn’t any dungeon!

Had she been deceived by Sun Xiao?

This thought had barely surfaced in Xia Mian’s mind when Sun Xiao stopped and pointed behind Xia Mian, "Grand Ancestor, look!"

Xia Mian tilted her head slightly to glance back.

Behind her was a door almost blending seamlessly with the surrounding walls.

"This is it!" Sun Xiao’s eyes gleamed with delight, "This is the entrance to the dungeon!"

Sun Xiao finished speaking and raised his hand to push the stone door.

The stone door was somewhat heavy; Sun Xiao pushed it with one hand but didn’t budge.

Sun Xiao furrowed his brows slightly, eager to impress Xia Mian, and increased the force on the door.

The stone door creaked and slowly started to move.

Sun Xiao was overjoyed, pushing the door with even more force.

This time, he used too much force, causing the door to give way abruptly.

Under the influence of inertia, Sun Xiao couldn’t stop himself and fell inside.

Once inside, Sun Xiao’s expression changed drastically, and he screamed in terror.

Behind the stone door was a deep pit!

Unable to stop himself, he fell directly into the pit!

Worse, the pit was full of snakes!

Sun Xiao’s face turned pale green. As he fell, he quickly made a sealing gesture with his hands to avoid becoming a meal for venomous snakes upon landing.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan stood at the doorway, glancing down at the situation inside.

"This Qin Cui, she truly is cunning to the extreme!" Xia Mian lightly pursed her lips.

Sun Xiao knew there was a door here, which seemed to be a necessary path to the dungeon.

But now this path had become a deep pit filled with venomous snakes!

Evidently, the pyramid’s interior was also full of mechanisms, able to be controlled and changed at any moment!

"Sun Xiao!" Qin Cui’s voice echoed from the corridor’s far end, filled with intense hatred, "You scum! Betraying my trust, leading wolves into your house! Go die for me!"

As Qin Cui’s voice faded, the pit’s walls began closing in towards the center!

It seemed they were intent on crushing Sun Xiao into pulp!

"Grand Ancestor, help!" Sun Xiao’s complexion changed instantly; he, having lived a life free and uninhibited, feared few things except snakes!

In front of these snakes, he shivered intensely, his mind blank, unable to use magic or even make basic counterattacks or defenses!

Seeing Sun Xiao’s ashen face, Xia Mian furrowed her brow slightly.

This man truly lacked any moral code, abandoning wife and daughter, living recklessly, but he was still of use to her.

Thus, he couldn’t die.

Thinking this, Xia Mian lightly moved her fingers, causing the space before Sun Xiao to warp and blur.

"There’s a door in front of you, go in." Xia Mian’s voice came from above, and Sun Xiao hurriedly entered without considering where the door might lead.

The moment Sun Xiao dove through, the walls came together crushing countless snakes not quick enough to flee into subterranean tunnels, leaving a bloody mess.

A minute later, Sun Xiao would have been crushed into pulp as well!

Sun Xiao barely escaped, falling out of the corridor’s space near Xia Mian, panting heavily.

That wicked woman Qin Cui had really tried to kill him!

"Damn it! You all deserve death!" Qin Cui’s almost hysterical roar echoed in the corridor.

As Qin Cui’s cries continued, the corridor began changing.

The walls started closing towards the center!

Crunching sounds echoed, like ominous magic spells.

Once more terrified, Sun Xiao’s complexion changed, "Grand Ancestor, this is the Heavenly Maiden Clan’s forbidden area, these traps are beyond imagination; we must find Qin Cui immediately..."

Otherwise, with Qin Cui hidden and them exposed, she could toy them to death without them realizing!

Xia Mian’s eyes squinted tightly, the Heavenly Maiden Clan’s forbidden area?

"Didn’t you say this was the Heavenly Maiden Clan’s dungeon?!" Xia Mian’s gaze fell on Sun Xiao, eyes coldly intent.

Sun Xiao, shivering all over in panic, spoke tremblingly, "Grand Ancestor, I forgot, I can’t tell my left from right!"

On Xuandu Mountain, there were pyramids on both sides of the auction house; one was a dungeon, the other a forbidden area!

He thought he sensed Qin Cui’s presence would certainly be the dungeon, who knew Qin Cui was in the forbidden area instead!

Xia Mian’s expression was heavy, for the first time agreeing that Sun Xiao was indeed as foolish as an Outer Disciple of Yukun Mountain, just like Su Yu, the Sect Leader of Yukun Mountain!

"Grand Ancestor, I don’t want to die yet!" Sun Xiao’s voice carried a hint of sobbing, his eyes full of despair.

Living life recklessly, except for Qin Cui, he had many women outside; if he died here today because of Qin Cui, what about those women outside?

Annoyed by his whining, Xia Mian felt slightly irritated, "Don’t worry, you won’t die!"

Having said this, Xia Mian gently closed her eyes; she had left a Tracking Talisman on Qin Cui.

The Tracking Talisman was now nearby.

Thus, Qin Cui must also be close to them.

However, Qin Cui was cunning, constantly moving, making her position unstable, so even if she intended to use the Invisible Gate to teleport the three of them to Qin Cui’s side, the chance was slim.

The stone walls were already getting closer to the trio, another moment of delay and they’d be crushed in the corridor!

At this crucial moment, the corner of Lu Zechuan’s eye suddenly caught sight of a patch of moss on the ground.

In such an environment, this patch of moss seemed inconspicuous, but Lu Zechuan lightly curved his lips.

"Go!" Lu Zechuan shouted softly.

Moss grows in patches, not solitary.

If they couldn’t find Qin Cui, then let this ground moss find her!
