Chapter 667

That is precisely why this balance must be maintained—it comes from the cages in the Qiushi Sect above.

Only under the premise of maintaining this balance can these cages remain in sync, so that what follows can be carried out smoothly.

Shen Qiong observed the situation outside for a moment, and seeing that the cages were no longer rising, she drew a deep breath.

She knew this was her turn now, and the matter at hand could not afford the slightest hesitation or delay.

Letting Young Master Zhao do this was one thing, but trusting him absolutely was quite another.

Shen Qiong knew where Yang Lu's starting point lay, but as for the degree of trust in Young Master Zhao, she believed everyone was on the same level.

Even if this person can be trusted not to stab you in the back, don't believe he's a reliable man!

Even without discussing it, these people could reach such a consensus in a very short time.

Precisely because of this major premise, Shen Qiong now retreated directly to a spot ten meters away, right at the water's edge.

Without the slightest hesitation, she accelerated into a run-up, and the moment she took her first step, almost everyone held their breath together.

In that breathless concentration, Shen Qiong's ear twitched.

She heard a faint clatter, and her footsteps suddenly halted.

At the same time, her expression turned utterly stunned.

【Why did you stop?】

【Pretty lady, keep charging forward—now is not the time to hesitate.】

【Young Master Zhao didn't drop the ball, but you did.】

【It's fine, we won't scold you even if you fail.】

【Bullshit! Didn't you see the sleeve-arrow mechanisms earlier? Failure means being riddled with holes—wouldn't you be scared?】

The discussion continued, but soon the voices gradually grew louder.

Actually, it's also because their attention was all on Shen Qiong's side; had they paid any attention to the other angle, they would have understood why she stopped.

At the Qiushi Sect gate, Shen Qiong saw that one of the cages above had actually dropped a little.

It might look like only a short distance, but it was enough to make Shen Qiong curse up a storm inside!

If Wang Wang Kaixuan were here at this moment, he would probably already be in a state of frenzy.

Zhang Lin Has Already put it so bluntly—the situation appearing now couldn't be for any other reason; it could only be that Young Master Zhao's side had slackened, resulting in this state.

Shen Qiong didn't know whether she should act; she wasn't sure—if the cage had dropped to this state, would continuing still work?

Did the cages have to rise to the perfect height to trigger those mechanisms, or was there some margin of error?

Within that margin of error, would it not affect any of her subsequent operations?

At this moment Shen Qiong hurriedly grabbed the walkie-talkie and said: "Captain Yang, something seems to have gone wrong up there—the position of the cage has changed. I don't know whether I should keep going."

Upon hearing these words come through the walkie-talkie, Yang Lu's heart immediately skipped a beat!
