The hardness of the stone slab exceeded Shi Xiaole's expectations.
At his full strength, he could only leave a sword hole one inch deep in the surface.
After spending several 2-hour periods, Shi Xiaole finally chiseled out a hole large enough for his eye to gaze through. With the help of the faint light, he saw a staircase extending downward under the hole.
"There is indeed something going on."
Who would have thought that there was still an undiscovered secret passage in Mingliu Villa, which was abandoned more than a decade ago?
With the direction set, the next steps became simple.
In the following days, Shi Xiaole stayed at the inn at night and chiseled the stone slab with his sword during the day. Watching the hole grow bigger and bigger, it was soon large enough for a person to pass through.
Meanwhile, at the gate of Emerald City, three men with a murderous aura walked in.
These three men were identical in stature and appearance.
