Even Master Chen said he was powerless. Lin Yun's right hand, which had been gripping Master Chen's collar, fell limply to his side. "Where's Little Ape?" he asked, his voice low and heavy. "Where is he?"
Hearing this, Master Chen replied, "In the basement, but Alliance Leader…"
Before Master Chen could finish, Lin Yun had already turned and was heading for the basement. Watching Lin Yun's retreating figure, Master Chen wanted to stop him, to tell him not to go. But after a long, conflicted moment, he ultimately said nothing.
The basement had once been a secret chamber of the Wei Family. It was incredibly well-hidden and enormous, like a vast, subterranean plaza.
His mind in a turmoil, Lin Yun arrived at the basement entrance alone. Two disciples from the Alliance were already standing guard there. Seeing Lin Yun approach, they both bowed respectfully.
Ignoring them, Lin Yun walked slowly toward the basement, but they moved to block his path as he drew near.
