In the pitch-dark cellar passage, the silhouette of Yu Zhenzhen was outlined.

Duan Yun followed behind.

Visible to the naked eye, compared to the well-organized cellar previously, this passage seemed rather rough and crude.

Some sections of the road were irregular, uneven, and at the narrowest point, Duan Yun could almost only see Yu Zhenzhen’s big buttocks.

After a while, the space became a bit more spacious.

Duan Yun could also feel that it was much damper here, and roots could be seen in the soil.

If he guessed correctly, there should be a forest above.

Ahead, the passage had reached its end.

Yu Zhenzhen put down the lantern and sat down.

Duan Yun sat down as well, looked around, and didn’t find anything special.

Could there be secrets of the Qiongling Sect here?

Both sitting in this dim and enclosed environment, facing each other, there was still that strange sense of goodwill.

Following a somewhat unfamiliar woman into a strange hole was indeed a rather novel experience.

Had he not been the Dual Masters of Sword and Saber now, he definitely wouldn’t have done this.

Ever since encountering the Red Building Women, who liked to deceive, upon his first venture into the Martial World, Duan Yun, as a boy, had long learned to protect himself.

At this moment, Yu Zhenzhen fumbled in the cave, opened a wooden stopper hidden in the mud and revealed a hole about the size of a glutinous rice ball.

She listened for a moment and then pointed to the hole, gesturing Duan Yun to listen.

Duan Yun didn’t make any sound and put his ear to the hole.

Only now did he realize that a metal pipe was buried here, through which the voice of a woman slowly drifted from inside.

It was hard to determine the age of this woman’s voice, but overall, she seemed not to be young; shortly afterward, another voice, indistinct whether male or female, sounded.

These two voices talked back and forth, as if they were carrying out some kind of communication.

The metal pipe might amplify the sound, but likely due to some distance, Duan Yun couldn’t hear what they were saying.

Could this be related to the secrets of the Qiongling Sect?

At this time, Yu Zhenzhen resealed the wooden stopper, whispered, "What did you just hear?"

"Two people talking," Duan Yun said.

"Guanyin Monastery above has always been solely inhabited by my master, but at some point, she began to talk to someone every night at the third watch."

"I can’t discern the voice, whether it’s a man or a woman; for a while, I even suspected she had gone mad and was talking to herself," Yu Zhenzhen said softly.

In this gloomy environment, it seemed as if she was telling a ghost story.

Duan Yun asked, "How did you discover this?"

Yu Zhenzhen replied, "I had just learned a certain Earthwork Skill, and thus I started practicing in this ready-made cellar."

Seeing Duan Yun looking at her with a strange expression, she hurriedly explained: "I’m not like your perverted kind, digging cellars not to confine women like me, but purely to practice my skill.

As I practiced, I dug up to this bamboo grove area."

"Seeing these bamboo roots, I knew that I was not far from my master’s residence. In fact, ever since the Qiongling Sect became strange, and after she built the Guanyin Monastery, she rarely showed up; so, I suspected that she might also have issues.

I decided to do it thoroughly, dug this tunnel to near her monastery, and created this passage to listen to her, and indeed found something wrong."

Hearing her say this, Duan Yun couldn’t help but feel that she indeed had the potential to rebel against her mentor.

Duan Yun pondered, "Can you hear what they are saying?"

Yu Zhenzhen shook her head.

"Why don’t you get closer to listen?" Duan Yun asked.

Yu Zhenzhen quickly shook her head: "No way, it’s already very close to that monastery. If this tunnel is dug any further, my master will definitely discover it."

Duan Yun remarked, "Then it seems your Earthwork Skill is not up to par."

As a semi-expert in digging tunnels, Duan Yun knew how to silently continue digging.

His Beiming Divine Skill operating all over his body, he stretched out his hand, and the soil in front of him silently covered his entire body.

Under Yu Zhenzhen’s astonished gaze, he had already turned into a mudman, moving the soil outward.

Walking a distance, with a punch of his fist, the soil sticking to his body clung like water to the tunnel walls.

Then, he returned to being a mudman.

Near the end of the tunnel close to the monastery, he made almost no noise, and the soil he pasted was used to compact the tunnel walls on the other side.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, leaving Yu Zhenzhen unable to help but wonder if he had the potential to actually dig through to the outside of the Qiongling Sect.

Just how many women have you imprisoned to be so skilled at digging?

In less than half an hour, with a ’thud,’ as the soil ahead was absorbed by Duan Yun, suddenly more space appeared in front.

Duan Yun and Yu Zhenzhen were both startled.

Had they dug into someone else’s tunnel?

This tunnel was obviously much more refined than what Yu Zhenzhen had dug, with rock bars and wooden boards compacting at intervals, and stone lamps on the ground.

Only a few stone lamps were lit, but it wasn’t so dark that the entire tunnel was obscured.

At this point, Yu Zhenzhen had skillfully extinguished her wind lamp.

She and Duan Yun stood closely together, looking solemn.

Was there such a tunnel under Guanyin Monastery?

Unexpectedly, on her first time with Old Demon Duan, she made such a startling discovery.

Afterward, the two of them began to delve deeper into the cave, wanting to see what mysteries lay hidden here.

However, to avoid startling any guards and also worried about potential traps, they didn’t move fast.
