The Wang Family's forbidden area.
Hauling Wang Xiongying, Wang Xuanjiu entered the courtyard. He cut straight through the corridors to the deepest part of the yard, arriving before a cliff face near the Short Mountain.
He paused briefly before a giant boulder and pressed a protrusion on its surface. The boulder rotated with a low hum.
The stone wall behind the boulder slowly moved, revealing a passage about ten feet high.
Instantly, an overpowering stench of blood poured out from the passage.
As Wang Xuanjiu smelled the bloody air, a fanatical look crossed his face.
He strode into the passage and casually activated the mechanism. The stone wall moved again, sealing the entrance.
Anyone looking from the outside would only see a bare stone wall, with no way of discovering the passage.
As the passage closed, the light vanished. A faint, blood-red glimmer emanated from the far end of the tunnel.
