Chapter 875: Chapter 875: [Mechanism Tower]

“Actually, there is indeed a local ruler here,” Ye Chenfeng said.

“What?” Su Hanjing was clearly shocked. “There really is an emperor here?”

Ye Chenfeng nodded, “That’s right. This local ruler is the Tang Sect. They’ve been entrenched here for a long time, with a power that’s unimaginable. They are the true local emperor. I suspect that, although the Tang Sect is deep in the mountains, they must have numerous enterprises under their control.”

“I see. I thought there was someone who claimed to be the emperor,” Su Hanjing said naively, her eyes shining like limpid autumn waters.

Ye Chenfeng: “…”

Several black lines appeared on his forehead. How pure could Su Hanjing be to believe that there was someone who would call themselves an emperor?

At an entrance to Mount Daba, the car came to a stop.

Ye Chenfeng and Tang Xuan from the Tang Sect had communicated in advance, and they were supposed to wait here.

Yet it seemed that the other party hadn’t arrived.

“Young Master Ye, where are they?”

This was the first time Han Hu had spoken to Ye Chenfeng actively during the journey.

“Let’s wait a bit longer!”

After a short while, someone showed up, still dressed in modern clothes.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye Chenfeng?” the person asked.

“Yes, that’s me!” Ye Chenfeng nodded.

“Someone asked me to give this to you.” The person handed Ye Chenfeng a sheepskin map.

Ye Chenfeng took it and found that it was a map leading to the Tang Sect.

“Han Hu, follow the map.” After a quick look, Ye Chenfeng handed the map to Han Hu, who was driving.

“Weren’t we supposed to have someone guiding us?” Han Hu looked surprised.

“Maybe something came up. Anyway, we have the map, so we won’t get lost,” Ye Chenfeng said.

Su Hanjing’s beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of confusion flashed in her charming eyes. Last time in Jiangnan, she noticed how respectful or even fearful those people were towards her. This time, returning to the Tang Sect, they should be welcoming her even more warmly.

Yet they hadn’t seen a single person, and they had casually sent someone to give the map, expecting them to find their own way.

“Brother Ye?” Su Hanjing furrowed her brows.

“Don’t worry, I’m here!” Ye Chenfeng gave her a reassuring look.

Han Hu nodded, “Yes, with the map, there’s nothing to fear.”

As they gradually entered the depths of Mount Daba, the area became increasingly desolate, and even mobile signals were gone.

Su Hanjing looked at the rapidly passing scenery outside and instinctively hugged Ye Chenfeng’s arm tightly.

“Brother Ye, once we reach the Tang Sect, will I never be able to leave?” Su Hanjing asked softly.

“As long as you want to leave, I’ll take you with me. No one can stop us!” Ye Chenfeng patted Su Hanjing’s shoulder.

After half an hour, the road ahead became more and more rugged and narrow, almost impassable.

Even though they were in a Jeep, the environment made it impossible for the vehicle to continue.

“Young Master Ye, Miss Su, the road is no longer passable. I’m afraid we need to go on foot,” Han Hu said with some difficulty.

“Alright, no problem. Han Hu, you take care of the luggage. I’ll take care of Hanjing!” Ye Chenfeng ordered.

“No problem!”

Then, Han Hu carried a large bag of luggage while Ye Chenfeng guided Su Hanjing, following the directions on the map.

Luckily, they had prepared in advance, wearing mountaineering jackets and boots, so walking wasn’t too challenging.

When they arrived, it was already early afternoon, around one or two o’clock. However, after walking several hours, the sun had set, and night was falling.

The three of them continued walking, with Su Hanjing now being carried by Ye Chenfeng. It was much easier for Ye Chenfeng this way than holding her hand.

By the time the path widened, it was already dark.

They arrived at an entrance, and after entering, they found a hidden paradise.

Surrounded by mountains, it created a concealed environment, resembling a little utopia inside.

They could vaguely see ancient buildings standing, and according to the map, this was the end of their journey.

“Could this be the Tang Sect? It’s really hidden. Without the map, we wouldn’t have found it,” Han Hu exclaimed.

“It should be the Tang Sect. None of us have been here before, but judging by the scale, it’s undoubtedly the Tang Sect,” Ye Chenfeng said.

Han Hu nodded, “Young Master Ye, Miss Su, let’s go together!”

“Be careful. I’ve heard there are traps all around the Tang Sect. If we accidentally trigger one, we’ll be in deep trouble,” Ye Chenfeng reminded.

“Alright!”

Han Hu led the way, with Ye Chenfeng carrying Su Hanjing following close behind.

After walking for ten minutes, they were very close to the grand building.

“Hmm?”

But Han Hu felt something was off; his back felt a chill, and his hairs stood on end.

He suddenly turned around, only to find that Ye Chenfeng and Su Hanjing had disappeared without a trace.

“Young Master Ye? Miss Su?”

Han Hu called softly, searching the surroundings, but found nothing.

“Could he have discovered something?” Han Hu muttered to himself, thinking of the worst.

“No, I must find them!” Han Hu began searching the area.

As night fell in the deep mountains, he could only rely on the starlight and moonlight to guide him.

In the center stood a building, a seven-story pagoda-like structure, except for its height and width, there was nothing particularly special about it. The exterior was quite ordinary too.

In the picturesque setting, stood the pagoda, towering tens of meters high. It looked grand, blending completely with nature as if it had been there forever, making it particularly comforting to the eye.

After walking along a cobblestone path, they arrived in front of the pagoda. The three large, scrawled words “Trap Tower” came into view, exuding a faint air of vigor and strength.

At first glance, it didn’t appear noteworthy, but actually, there were small holes on the upper floors…

“Whoosh!”

“Bang!”

With a sharp sound, fireworks unexpectedly lit up the sky. Shockingly, it was a signal flare.

“Han Hu succeeded; he and Miss Su are safe. Now, Ye Chenfeng must be injured under the Trap Tower of the Tang Sect. Let’s rush over and prevent his escape!” Meng Xiangyu said.

“Let’s go!”

Shadow Poison waved his hand, leading over twenty people, including the four from Heavenly Dragon Nine Extremes, towards the pagoda.

“Ah?”

Staring at the signal flare in the sky, Han Hu was dumbfounded.

The next moment, Ye Chenfeng and Su Hanjing appeared before him.

“Hello, were you looking for me?”

Ye Chenfeng asked with a smile.
