Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2791

Chapter 1304: Secret

“Do you know the Holy Fire Token?” Zuan thought for a moment and asked.

Isabella nodded. “The Holy Fire Token is a sacred object of the Persian Ming Cult. It’s forged from a mixture of platinum, black iron, and diamond dust. It’s about two feet long. It looks neither gold nor jade, but incredibly hard. You’ll recognize it the moment you see it.”

“Back then, there were six Holy Fire Tokens, all of which flowed into the Middle-earth Ming Cult. Only the Cult Leader could wield such a sacred object, so we can only start with Cult Leader Shi.”

Zuan said solemnly, “Cult Leader Shi didn’t look like he had the Holy Fire Token on him just now. He must have kept it somewhere else.”

“It might be in his bedroom, but I’m new here and haven’t found out where it is.”

“It could also be in the secret passage on Bright Summit. Entering the secret passage on Bright Summit is a death sentence for anyone except the Cult Leader, making it a perfect place to hide the Holy Fire Token.”

“Hey, Brother Zu, how did you know about this secret passage when you first arrived?” Isabella was startled. She had been in the Persian Ming Cult for so long, and she hadn’t known about the secret passage on Bright Summit.

Zuan then gave a brief account of his familiarity with the background of this world.

Isabella couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “Brother Zu, you actually have such a connection to the Trial of the God of Death. I think you have the best chance of passing it this time.”

“No matter what, I will find a way to save us all.”

“Yes, I believe you can do it, Brother Zu.”

Zuan was stunned. He had expected more persuasion to build her confidence, but she was instantly convinced.

Seeing his expression, Isabella smiled slightly. “Since the Dreamland, I’ve witnessed you accomplish so many impossible things, so I believe you can do it.”

Zuan wasn’t entirely sure himself, after all, this was a plan by the True God, but looking into her starry eyes, courage suddenly filled his heart.

The two chatted for a while about what had happened since they’d been apart, and then Zuan left to explore the terrain of Bright Summit.

As night fell, he finally returned. “Isabella, I’ve found the entrance to the secret passage. Let’s explore it together. Maybe the Great Shift of the Universe is inside.”

“Okay.” Isabella’s eyes lit up. She felt more at ease with Brother Zu than staying indoors.

The two quickly made their way towards the secret passage. Unlike Yanhua and Tingxue, who had been engaged in constant combat, Yanhua’s former status meant she rarely had to fight.

Her combat prowess often relied on a myriad of magical weapons, putting her at a disadvantage in a world where supernatural abilities were forbidden.

While her martial arts skills were considerable, she was hardly a master.

To avoid detection by the guards along the way, Zuan often resorted to performing swift leaps while carrying her.

Isabella, however, relished this feeling. Her grandfather had even built her numerous amusement parks across the universe, but she had never felt so happy.

The thrill of being discovered at any moment, combined with the security of Zu’s embrace, combined to such a tug that she would have cried out if not for the wrong timing and location.

It wasn’t long before the two reached the entrance to the secret passage. Because it was a forbidden area, no Ming Cult members dared to stay there.

They pushed open the stone door and entered, revealing a winding corridor. They navigated cautiously, finding none of the traps or traps they had expected.

After a few dozen more feet, they reached the end. Isabella surveyed the area, “Hmm, it seems there’s no path here, and no other traps.”

With her knowledge, she’d surely spot any hidden traps.

Zuan reached out and pressed on the wall in front of him, a realization dawning on him: “Move aside for a moment.” He

then channeled his inner strength and pressed against the wall in front of him. Soon, the wall pushed aside several feet, revealing a new passage.

He then said, “No wonder this place is a forbidden area for the Ming Cult. Some of these secret passages utilize ingenious traps, but this massive stone gate requires brute force. Even the most clever sneakers won’t be able to break through without sufficient skill.”

Isabella couldn’t help but sigh, “I didn’t expect even those in this low-level martial arts world to have such ingenuity. We in this world must never be careless.”

Zuan nodded. He never considered the people of this world to be uninformed natives. Who knows when some true god might emerge with his schemes?

After passing through the stone gate, Isabella observed it for a moment and then said, “There are many forks in the road here. It seems like a maze.”

“It’s just a basic maze,” Zuan said casually. They had all seen the great formations of the universe, so the maze before them was nothing special.

The two quickly found the correct path and continued deeper. They soon

arrived at a large room. Judging by the layout, it was likely the place where the leader practiced.

Zuan searched the room and couldn’t help but look disappointed.

Not only was there no Holy Fire Token, but even the secret of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth was nowhere to be found.

But then he thought, in “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber,

” the secret of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth was found on a piece of sheepskin. The later leader Yang Dingtian had it on his body when he died in this secret room. How could he find it here now? He thought the secret manual of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth must be kept close to the Stone Leader.

Zuan shared his speculations with Isabella. As they were discussing their plan, they suddenly heard voices in the distance.

They hurriedly hid in the nearby stone chamber.

Soon, footsteps approached, and a few voices could be heard faintly.

“Master, those Persians clearly have ill intentions. Why not seize this opportunity to wipe them out and eliminate any future trouble?”

“No, they’re from the Grand Master, after all, and this time they’re representing Mongolia. The Mongols are most averse to killing envoys. Khwarezm was so powerful in Central Asia back then, but because they killed a Mongol envoy, they provoked an all-out Mongol attack, ultimately leading to their demise and the destruction of their nation.”

Isabella and Zuan exchanged a glance. The two people who came were clearly Master Shi, and the other was probably a high-ranking member of the Ming Cult, but who else was unknown?

“Master, the envoy is just an excuse. Whether it exists or not will not affect Mongolia’s attack on Khwarezm. Those Persians came

here this time to explore the way in advance. If we let them go back, the Mongols will know the terrain and location of our Mingjiao very well. By the time the army arrives, it will be too late to regret.” “It’s not that serious. Our place is far away from us. It’s not worth the loss for the Mongols to attack on us in large numbers. Moreover, they sent a saint this time. I think she is a hostage to reassure us.”

“I think that saint has even more ulterior motives. I just sent someone to check her residence, but she was not there. I don’t know where she went to cause trouble.”

Hearing this, Isabella stuck out her tongue at Zuan helplessly. She was really caught between two sides.

“I need to think about this matter carefully.” Master Shi was obviously a little upset.

“Master, it’s too late to hesitate!”

At this moment, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out: “It’s really too late for you.”
