Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 450 Secret Passage

It was indeed not easy to spot. Only after Xu Yao had clearly seen the place did he enter the cave directly.

After Xu Yao entered the cave, he discovered that the cave had a narrow passageway just big enough for one person to enter.

Seeing this, Xu Yao couldn't help but sigh inwardly at Elder Yun Tian's good choice of location, actually selecting such a place.

It's really hard to know what to say, but that's how things are.

It's better than doing something else on my own, isn't it? With that thought, Xu Yao walked straight inside.

Soon, Xu Yao realized that something seemed wrong ahead. He could hear people talking from not far ahead.

Curious, Xu Yao quietly walked forward and soon discovered a ladder in front of him.

There was an exit at the top of the ladder, but it was blocked by something.

Xu Yao looked closely and realized it was probably some kind of weed, and the sound was coming from above.

It seems this is the entrance to the dungeon.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao was also happy. Yun Tian hadn't lied to him. Since that was the case, what else was there to say?

Xu Yao walked straight ahead and slowly climbed the stairs. After reaching the top, he looked around at his surroundings.

Xu Yao gently parted the haystack, and suddenly some lights appeared. It turned out that they had indeed arrived at an inconspicuous place in the dungeon.

The people who spoke were the two guards sitting in the distance, who obviously had no idea that anyone would come in.

All that could be heard was one of them saying, "Brother, what's the real story between this Grand Elder and Bai Song?"

"The sect leader didn't say anything, he just wants us to guard it. I must wonder if there's something wrong between the Grand Elder and Junior Brother Bai Song."

“What do you know?” the other person said while eating. “You need to understand this. If there’s anything going on, we’ll all know.”

"That means things have completely gone wrong. Let me put it this way: the reason we can see this is because the First Elder and Junior Brother Bai Song have something going on."

"It's because I angered the sect leader that this happened. There are many reasons behind this, so let's not ask too many questions."

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know, otherwise, in such a turbulent time, we might not even know how we died."

“That would make things serious for us, so for now, you and I should just stay here and keep watch. As for other things, that’s not something we should be thinking about,” the disciple said.

The other person nodded after hearing his elder brother's words: "That's right. Knowing these things isn't necessarily a good thing for us."

"But brother, I think this whole thing is still pretty strange. Anyway, let's get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."

"It's time to leave Hanshan Sword Sect," the man said.

"Shh." The older brother made a quiet gesture: "You want to die."

The two remained silent and continued eating.

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Yao realized that the disciples of the Hanshan Sword Sect were aware that something was amiss and were likely trying to leave.

However, since things have come to this point, there's no need to say anything more.

Anyway, that's how things are; it just depends on whether the Koreans know how to behave.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao quietly took two pebbles in his hand, then channeled his spiritual power and smashed them directly at the two people's heads with a whoosh.

These two were just ordinary disciples, no match for Xu Yao. They were knocked unconscious on the spot by Xu Yao.

Once Xu Yao realized there was no problem, he quickly came out of the haystack and rearranged it to prevent anyone from discovering the entrance to the secret passage.

At this moment, Xu Yao hurriedly went to find the Grand Elder and Bai Song.

After searching for a while, they only found the Grand Elder, but they couldn't find Bai Song. However, Xu Yao didn't care too much about that.

Upon seeing Xu Yao, the Grand Elder exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Shu Che Huo, what brings you here?"

“I told you, I couldn’t possibly leave you behind. I’m definitely coming to save you,” Xu Yao said.

The Grand Elder also said, "I cannot leave. If I leave, it would only confirm that I have let down the Hanshan Sword Sect."

"You need to understand, someone like me can't leave Hanshan Sword Sect. This is where I'll spend my whole life."

Hearing the elder's words, Xu Yao replied, "Then, elder, are you willing to spend your whole life in this prison?"

"Or were they killed by the Koreans?"

“Even that’s better than me running away,” the elder said directly.

Xu Yao was now at a loss. After all, if the Grand Elder really thought that way, then there was truly nothing that could be done.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao said, "Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you. Elder, you should think it over carefully."

"If something really happens, I might not be able to help you right away."

The elder smiled and said, "It's alright. Actually, I'm very happy that Brother Xu Yao came to save me."

"This also proves that I didn't misjudge you. You should leave now. It will be difficult to handle once the Korean people arrive."

Xu Yao couldn't force the Grand Elder to leave, so he could only nod, tell the Grand Elder to take care, and then leave directly.

They returned to where Elder Yuntian was.

Seeing Xu Yao return alone, Yun Tian asked with some surprise, "Didn't the Grand Elder and Bai Song come back with you?"

Xu Yao then recounted what the Grand Elder had told him.

Upon hearing this, Yun Tian said helplessly, "This Grand Elder is just muddle-headed. Does he think the Korean faction will let him off the hook in this matter?"

"I think this guy really doesn't know what situation he's in right now. Oh well, I'm not a heartless person."

"Xu Yao, wait for me here. I'm going to Hanshan Sword Sect to find Han Xi," Yun Tian said.

"Elder Yuntian, the Grand Elder has already gone in, and you still want to go? Aren't you just making trouble for yourself?"

“If you go and get caught, that would be a serious matter,” Xu Yao said.

Yun Tian replied directly, "Don't worry, the Korean group is too green to deal with me. I'm not so incapable of protecting myself."

"Just stay here and wait for my good news," Yun Tian said cheerfully.

Seeing that Yun Tian had said so, Xu Yao couldn't insist any further, since some things couldn't be resolved simply by insisting.
