Chapter 529

Mr. Zhou naturally knew full well that this notice would be utterly useless once posted.

This group of people had rushed to Tang Liang Shan all for Lei Cheng, to stake everything on one gamble.

But since he knew there was danger, the notice still had to be posted.

Kind words cannot dissuade a ghost bent on death; once the notice was sent out, if anyone still insisted on rushing to their doom, that could be considered the authorities having done their utmost.

……

The outside world naturally did not know about Chale Gai's party, and the thunder they heard was actually an ominous hidden thunder.

Even the Thunder-Listening Clan gave this kind of thunder a wide berth!

But one could still pick up some clues from Half-Section Li's current predicament.

Half-Section Li, the only one who hadn't heard the thunder, had become the first to enter the core area.

This showed that whatever that thunder was, it was not some kind of guide!

Otherwise, why hadn't anyone else come in?

"Half-Section Li, who had already grasped how important the Borjigin language was, naturally also vaguely sensed what sort of place he was in."

"But the him of now was no longer the greenhorn he had been, the sort who would casually show his trump cards."

"He needed to observe slowly, then draw information out of Forty-Two, to confirm his own guess."

"At this moment Half-Section Li also noticed that the door of this room had no actual door, only a very thick curtain blocking the way."

"And this room wasn't any proper house at all, but a hemispherical cave with very obvious signs of being hewn by hand."

"At the same time, Half-Section Li also saw that the dim, soft light inside the room was being emitted by some stones embedded in the cave wall!"

"Stones that could glow—Half-Section Li had never seen such a thing, and for a moment he was even more baffled as to where he was."

"But before he could question Forty-Two, a sudden burst of commotion came from outside."

"It sounded as though many people were hurrying on foot toward some place, and Half-Section Li gradually heard a sound resembling a horn."

"The horn's note was both melodious and deep, yet carried a great distance, and for a fleeting instant Half-Section Li even felt as if he were standing on an ancient battlefield."

"The woman Forty-Two, hearing this sound, suddenly changed color and turned to clamp a hand over Half-Section Li's mouth."

"Then she told him in the Borjigin language that outsiders had intruded and been spotted by the guards, and that the chief was now summoning everyone!"

"Half-Section Li was startled by this—he too was an outsider, merely hidden away by Forty-Two."

"If he were discovered too, would it cause such a huge commotion as well?"

"Half-Section Li was panic-stricken and quickly asked Forty-Two whether the intruders had been caught, and how they planned to deal with them."

"Forty-Two answered him in a flat tone: send them to the Sea God Palace, and let them fend for themselves!"
