At this time, Mr. Tong also came over, took a sip of strong wine and wiped his mouth boldly with his dirty sleeve.
Then he chuckled and said, "It's just as I expected. How could they have slipped away from me without a secret passage?"
"Tong Lao is really clever and clever. He can see the fishiness in this at a glance."
Qin Tian knew that Mr. Tong was an unpredictable and powerful man, and he also wanted to learn Mr. Tong's method of transmutation, so he had to be sweeter.
It's okay to flatter others sometimes. Besides, Tong Lao is indeed very discerning. If he hadn't discovered these muddy footprints, Qin Tian would not have been able to think of all this. In the final analysis, it was Tong Lao's attentiveness.
Mr. Tong chuckled lightly, not knowing what he meant. He just heard him say, "You kid has also learned to flatter others. I don't like that."
Qin Tian scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "No way, what this junior said is true. You have a unique eye. If it weren't for you, who would have discovered this secret passage."
The young man's actions reflected his emotions and mood at the moment. In his life, Mr. Tong has walked on more bridges than the young man has walked, and he has met more people than Qin Tian has read. Some of his inadvertent actions are
There was no way he could have escaped Tong Lao's capture.
For people's inner thoughts, he can often sense them just from the other person's words, actions, or even their eyes.
Tong Lao shook his head slightly, then looked at the hole under his feet and said, "I don't know what dangers are hidden down there. If you are afraid, just go back to Kyoto by yourself. I can go down alone."
Qin Tian thought for a while, and decided to take a risk for Jin Bute. Nothing would happen if Mr. Tong was here. He immediately said, "You are not afraid. What is there to fear from a young man like me? I will go down with you."
Let’s find out!”
"Hey you……"
After hearing this, Tonglao hesitated to speak, with an unhappy expression on his face.
I thought to myself just now, I said you were glib, don’t you clearly mean that I am an old guy~
The helpless Tong Lao jumped down alone, and Qin Tian followed closely with a smile. He just said this intentionally, telling you to do the opposite if you can't get enough.
As soon as the two entered the secret passage, they saw that the entire passage was relatively new, and there were torches hanging on both sides of the passage. It looked relatively bright, and it did not affect the sight of the people inside anyway.
"Where does this tunnel lead to? It seems that it was built to be unusually long."
Qin Tian muttered as he looked at the endless tunnel, his voice echoing in the not very spacious tunnel.
Old Tong didn't look back and said angrily, "It's too late to regret now. If you encounter any danger ahead, I won't be able to protect you."
Qin Tian knew that Mr. Tong was joking. If someone with his price could not protect even a martial spirit practitioner, it would be a huge joke if word spread.
Besides, Qin Tian never thought of asking for Tong Lao's protection.
With his current strength, if he uses a destructive energy pill, even the strongest King Wu will avoid him.
If the Destruction Energy Pill is used in such a narrow passage, its power will definitely be much stronger than usual.
Think about the place where Hong Yu and the others were imprisoned in the underground palace, and a destructive energy pill destroyed it. Even if there was a powerful King Wu inside, they would not be able to escape the end of being buried alive.
The narrow space can increase the power of the Destruction Energy Pill, but this also results in a thousand losses to the enemy and eight hundred losses to oneself.
Qin Tian didn't dare to try again. After all, his flesh and blood body still didn't dare to fight like this with the puppets.
Tong Lao is not worried about encountering unknown attacks. He is very confident in his spiritual consciousness. This confidence also comes from the suppression of strength.
If there is any risk, he will definitely be the first to know about it, and he will have enough time to make a corresponding counterattack, so as not to be plotted by those little minions.
The secret passage was very narrow and could barely accommodate two people walking side by side. Qin Tian had been following Tong Lao for who knows how long. This long secret passage seemed to have no end.
"No, this passage seems to be heading towards the imperial capital."
Tong Lao's intuition and sense of direction have always been sharp. After walking for a long time, he realized something was wrong. He felt that this secret passage was not used to escape, but to prepare for something.
"Why are they going to the imperial capital?" Qin Tian boldly guessed. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He opened his eyes in astonishment and looked at Mr. Tong. The two said in unison, "Alchemist Conference!"
Qin Tian said with a surprised voice, "Based on what these puppets have done recently, they probably want to kill all the alchemists on the day of the alchemist conference, right?"
The words woke up the dreamer, but Mr. Tong did not reply. He was thinking about a series of things in his mind. It seemed that these puppets were really targeting the Alchemist Conference. This was not good news.
Although there are many masters of alchemy masters from all walks of life, these puppets are not small in power. Once a fight breaks out, it will definitely be earth-shattering. At that time, there is no telling how many people will die.
As the organizer, even the safety of the guests is not taken into consideration. Not to mention the damage to reputation and prestige if word spreads, whether the guilds from all walks of life who come to participate in this conference will be held accountable is a matter of life and death for the Danqi Alchemist Guild!
Thinking of this, Mr. Tong couldn't help but speed up his steps and move forward.
Looking at Mr. Tong's slightly nervous expression, Qin Tian concluded that this old guy must have a connection of interest with the Danqi Alchemist Guild, and he might even be an elder of the Danqi Alchemist Guild, but he was not certain.
Qin Tian's guess was already close to ten, and he finally figured out the puppets' conspiracy at this moment. The situation was urgent and there was no need to delay.
For the safety of everyone, he also followed the former in rushing through the secret passage.
After running quickly for a while, there was a crossroads ahead, with two dark passages crisscrossing each other.
After looking at each other, Tong Lao's terrifying consciousness was unleashed, and he didn't know how big the scope of Tong Lao's true strength could be.
Half a minute later, Mr. Tong said solemnly, "These three secret passages all converge at this point, and the secret passage in front is leading to a certain place in the imperial capital. Presumably the puppets from these three places have sneaked in through here."
In the Imperial Capital... things are starting to get a little tricky."
The imperial capital is vast and has a large population. Once these puppets enter the imperial capital and break into pieces, trying to find them will undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Tong Lao only feels a little headache.
Qin Tian said in confusion, "These puppets can easily enter the imperial capital through the city gate, so why do they have to go to such trouble to dig such a long tunnel to enter the imperial capital?"
