A Falling Chamber

Gu Shenwei and Han Fen sneaked into the ancestral shrine but found no trap there—no killers were lying in ambush and there was no hidden passage or secret chamber.

The Dragon King did not find Chu Nanping, Hu Shining or any of his apprentices either.

Twenty soldiers from the Dragon army were standing watch at the main entrance of the shrine and patrolling in shifts. The priests and handymen inside the shrine were asleep and the entire place was very quiet.

Gu Shenwei and Han Fen circled around the place and searched it twice while avoiding the soldiers, but they found nothing suspicious about this place.

Gu Shenwei suddenly realized something."I nearly fell into Shangguan Yun's trap. He deliberately sent the three apprentices out to irritate me. He wants to spur me into sending my troops to raid the shrine, as this would definitely stir up resentment among the people of the Hui Kingdom.
