61: Chapter 61 Breaking the Feng Shui Barrier! Song Yiqing's Master-Master Revelation?

She Xuan's fingers tapped rhythmically and rapidly across his phone screen.

He was determined to help Song Yiqing prove himself once and for all.

...

Meanwhile, two kilometers away from the ancient residence, a white-haired old man was slowly approaching. He carried a roast chicken in his hand, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Hehe, it's been decades. I wonder if that kid Yu Yang is dead yet."

"If he is, I'll eat roast chicken and dance disco on his grave!"

...

In the livestream's bullet chat, most people hadn't really believed Song Yiqing's words at first.

But as She Xuan's message was sent out,

The viewers completely exploded.

[What the hell?? Song Yiqing is suspected of being the apprentice of Mr. Yu, the number one Feng Shui Master in Great Xia?? You mean Mr. Yu Zheping?]

[Holy crap!! Is this for real?? Wait, I see the ID—it really is She Xuan!]

[Could it be that everything he said is true?]

[Good heavens!! If this is true, doesn't it mean Song Yiqing's judgment wasn't wrong at all?]

[And the most critical part is that Song Yiqing actually studied under such a legendary figure! I'm dying!]

[What a pity! To think that Song Yiqing, who inherited Mr. Yu's legacy, had his direct admission spot canceled due to some twist of fate. Tsk tsk!]

[What a massive joke this has become!]

The news spread incredibly fast.

Inside the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone Exploration Command Center, Zhu Yongfeng slammed his fist onto the table in front of him again.

Bang!!

"Those idiots at Kyoto University of Archaeology!! Song Yiqing's master is actually Mr. Yu!!"

"Back then, it was because we had a conflict with Mr. Yu that a massive rift was created between us and the practitioners of the hidden world."

"Song Yiqing was clearly the best bridge to restore contact,"

"And yet those morons went and ruined it for me!"

"Damn it, I really want to gun them all down!"

It wasn't just Zhu Yongfeng who was furious; many staff members on-site, after learning the situation, felt extreme dissatisfaction toward certain people at Kyoto University of Archaeology.

However, hindered by their positions, they couldn't just curse openly and could only seethe with silent rage in their hearts.

News reports one after another flooded the internet.

Meanwhile, back at Kyoto University of Archaeology, Wan Shu—who had just recently agreed to the Xue Group's request—

Had just sat down for a break when he saw the news. He was completely stunned.

"What? Mr. Yu?? How did he get involved with Mr. Yu?"

"Didn't this man say he would never involve himself with the Forbidden Zones again?"

"Why did he take Song Yiqing as his disciple??"

In that instant, he inexplicably began to regret agreeing to the Xue Group's business,

And especially regretted canceling Song Yiqing's direct admission spot!

But the die was cast; there was no longer any room for recovery.

He hung his head in dejection and slowly turned off his phone, his mind racing and his head throbbing.

...

On the livestream screen,

Song Yiqing spoke eloquently, while the others around him, who knew nothing of Feng Shui, looked on with expressions of total confusion.

Lin Tianyi, however, grew more startled the more he listened.

"So that's how it is!! I see!! If that's the case,

Does it mean that even if we enter through the same entrance, we won't necessarily end up in the same place?"

"Based on an analysis of the celestial signs and terrain, that is indeed the case,"

Song Yiqing nodded slightly.

"Every time the Mechanism Gate of the Six-Pillar Temple opens, it randomly releases a different passage."

"Therefore, the maps you possess are not necessarily entirely correct."

"I..."

Lin Tianyi wanted to say something but felt his face flush. He had thought their map and route could be their chance to earn trust,

But the other party didn't care at all, and had even seen through it from the very beginning.

Having it pointed out directly now was more than a little embarrassing.

However, since things were out in the open,

Lin Tianyi took the attitude of a student asking a master and directly inquired about the method to solve the puzzle.

Song Yiqing shrugged and didn't hide his knowledge.

"It's actually quite simple. First, we should determine the position of the gate of death, and then we..."

Over the next few minutes, Song Yiqing briefly explained the solution,

While also instructing everyone to go to different positions.

Then, he threw out several different stones.

Suddenly!

Song Yiqing froze for a split second.

"The Kan Position!!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he took the lead and charged inside instantly.

Zhang Qilin followed closely behind him.

Both were incredibly fast, disappearing into the wall in the blink of an eye.

Lin Tianyi and the others were all stunned.

It wasn't until the next second that Fatty cried out,

"Holy crap!! I knew he was up to no good! He used us to find the exit and then ran off first!!"

After saying that, he quickly rushed in after them.

Lin Tianyi and Wang Shan didn't dare to delay and rushed in as well.

Wu Ren hesitated for a moment, but they had no better choice right now.

They relied on technological power, but currently, everything was metaphysical; all they could do was trust Song Yiqing.

But when they passed through that wall,

They were all rooted to the spot.

It wasn't another corridor or anything of the sort.

Instead, it was a massive, curved natural grotto. Tunnels riddled the walls in every direction, so densely packed it would give anyone with trypophobia a panic attack.

But what truly caused fear was when Wu Ren tried to step back out,

He touched the wall again only to find it was solid, packed earth.

"That's strange!! Lord Song!! The path is gone!"

"Hmm?"

Song Yiqing looked back, but he didn't seem very surprised. He spoke up,

"From the moment we entered this place, there was no turning back. If you want to survive, the only way is to keep moving forward!"

"What?"

Wu Ren was shocked, having never expected such an answer.

Next to him, Gong Chen and Wei Zhiyuan were gradually showing looks of terror,

A stark contrast to the calm demeanor of Song Yiqing and his companions.

At that moment, Fatty joked with a grin,

"What's this? You came to explore a Forbidden Zone and now you're scared?"

"No,"

Wu Ren shook his head vigorously, though he tightened his grip on his gun.

Fatty just laughed a few times upon seeing this, but in reality, he was also feeling a bit nervous deep down.

The unknown was often the most terrifying thing of all.

Suddenly, he felt something like water dripping from above.

"Huh?"

Confused, Fatty looked up and saw a mouth as wide as a washbasin, filled with rows of needle-sharp teeth. It was hanging open, dropping toward him like a bloody guillotine.

"Holy shit!!"

An expletive burst from his mouth, and his rifle followed suit, sweeping upward!

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!

As the bullets swept across, the mouth snapped shut instantly. In the next second, the hippo-like head was retracted by its long, thin neck.
