Guan Qianyan stared wordlessly at the stone wall before her. Just below the two hook swords, the stone wall was smooth, and a line of characters was carved into it: "The Jiajiu Pillar shall stand directly in the Jia position, facilitating north-south passage. At any time, at least one person on duty must be present, ready for any contingencies."

But now, the person left on guard, be it Dai Qiwen or Mo Chang, was nowhere to be seen. Below the stone slab was an empty recess, which Guan Qianyan now recalled was the resting place of the "Serpent's Eye Pursuit" — a Magic Artifact that assisted in guarding the prison and could send out alarms. The disciple on duty could activate it when in danger.

She immediately dashed forward.

"Sister Guan!" Kong Lanting failed to grab her, and hurriedly followed.
