Duan Rong's figure darted swiftly like a phantom, past the rockery and pavilion in the center of the backyard. His gaze was as cold as frost, fearing he might have arrived too late.
Faint screams echoed from the front yard, while government constables wielding crossbows were already infiltrating from the four corners of the surrounding walls, triggering the mechanisms.
In the dark night, several places resounded with the crisp sound of copper bells, one after another.
Duan Rong intentionally didn't tell them about the numerous mechanisms within this backyard.
The sound of the mechanisms could possibly alert Wei Yutian, making him cease his cultivation in the secret chamber, thereby gaining time to rescue Xiao Yu.
The crisp bell sound in the backyard faintly reached the secret chamber, causing Bai Ai, who was guarding the entrance of the Mandala, to feel startled.
"I'll go take a look! You guard here!"
Bai Ai infused her inner breath and leaped up the steps swiftly.
