Chapter 366 Heroes Meeting (14)

Even though they were far apart, everyone could see the tongues of fire reaching into the sky in the distance, almost engulfing the entire sky. It seemed as if there was heat from the flames coming from the air, burning their skin.

"He committed murder and set fire. Jiang Lan really wanted to destroy Honghu Villa!" Someone cursed: "Is he crazy? What good will it do him to destroy the villa? Once the villa is destroyed by fire, what will he do? Can’t even catch it!”

Many people in the world were indignant: "I used to see that Mr. Jiang was quite sensible and capable, but I didn't expect him to be a lunatic with extreme ideas! How could such a person become the owner of Honghu Villa!"

"That's right! Thanks to Master Jiang's foresight, he only chose the eldest son as his successor. Otherwise, if Jiang Lan's wishes were followed, the world would never be peaceful again!"

……

Compared to the excitement of the crowd, Wen Jisheng and Ban Xiyu were relatively calm. They knew Jiang Lan's true nature and understood that no matter how crazy Jiang Lan did, it would not be surprising.

Senior Sun said: "Okay, the matter has come to this. It will be useless to get angry anymore. The key is what we should do now." He looked at Wen Jisheng and asked: "What's the clue, Mr. Jiang?"

After the words fell, everyone looked at Wen Jisheng and Ban Xiyu.

Wen Jisheng answered with everyone watching: "The fire in Yanbin Building is not small. It is early winter now, the sky is dry and the things are dry, and the fire spreads very quickly. We must leave the villa before the fire reaches Zhaoyue Bay."

Senior Sun said worriedly: "But the mountain road passing through Zhaoyue Bay has been blocked by the killer. If you want to go down the mountain, you must break through the killer's siege. But everyone has..."

Ban Xiyu thought for a while and said, "Maybe we have other ways." She looked at Wen Jisheng and said, "Is there no other way out except Zhaoyue Bay?"

Wen Jisheng looked troubled: "Of course there is a way out, but it's just far away. If we go down the mountain from another exit, we are bound to run into the killer we came from. No matter what, we can't avoid a fight."

He sighed softly and said: "I think that instead of everyone struggling to find an exit in the distance, it is better to concentrate on dealing with the killer outside Zhaoyue Bay.

"First of all, it saves trouble, and secondly, we have to fight anyway, so why should we sacrifice the near for the distant?"

Senior Sun thought for a while, nodded, and said: "I agree with Mr. Jiang - we have no way out, so we might as well give it a try."

"Having said that, there are many injured among us. To escape successfully, we need to plan carefully."

"This is easy to handle." Senior Sun stood up and said loudly: "I will lead the people to lure away some of the killers first, and the rest will go down the mountain first when they find an opportunity!"

"This...Senior Sun is very righteous, but you are also seriously injured. Can you resist?"

Senior Sun: "If you can't resist, you have to resist. We can't all be trapped here. There will only be death." He didn't waste any time and immediately called a few brothers who were friends with him to prepare to be the leader of the army to kill the enemy.

Seeing his persistence, everyone had no choice but to advise him to be careful.

Senior Sun cupped his hands and said, "I'll take one step first, please be careful." Then he was about to step out, but at this moment, there was a strange "click" sound from the other side of the flower hall!

Immediately afterwards, a cold arrow came through the air, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot directly into Senior Sun's face in an instant!
"Beware!"

Wen Jisheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped forward. He reached out and grabbed the side, and immediately pulled the wooden screen on one side in front of him!
The sharp arrow penetrated three points into the wood, and the trembling arrow tail made a buzzing sound.

At the same time, there was also a rustling sound outside the main entrance of the flower hall - the killers in front and behind were all converging in the direction of everyone!
"The pursuers are coming, everyone, retreat quickly!" Wen Ji shouted, "Xiyu, there is a trap under the vase on your left!"

Ban Xiyu understood it and immediately turned on the machine.

The next moment, the wall in front of everyone opened in response, and a dark passage was revealed in front of everyone.

"Everyone, please go into the secret passage first to avoid it!"

Wen Jisheng asked all the guests to go in first, and he, Senior Sun and others came to the back. "Xiyu, come here quickly!"

Just when Ban Xiyu was about to enter the secret passage, a sword light suddenly appeared behind him!
The sharp sword struck like a gust of wind, pointing directly at Ban Xiyu's back.

Seeing this, Wen Jisheng felt anxious. He immediately jumped up and reached out to grab Ban Xiyu's arm to protect him behind him. At the same time, he raised his arm to block the sword.

"I'm here to help you!" Senior Sun immediately stepped forward to help repel the enemy.

Several of them fought and retreated until they retreated to the junction of the secret passage and the flower hall.

Wen Jisheng looked for the right moment and pressed his palms on the wall a few times. Immediately, the secret doors on both sides slowly closed.

But the killer outside kept pestering him, and when he saw that the secret door was about to close, he wanted to get in. Just when there was only a crack left in the secret door, the killer's arm got stuck in the door. Then, several hands pressed against the secret door in an attempt to open it again.

Ban Xiyu was frightened and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

At this time, Senior Sun stepped forward with a long sword: "Let me come!——"

The moment he finished speaking, there was a flash of blood, and his blood-stained arm fell to the ground. Along with the fingers cut off by the sharp sword, the secret door was completely closed.

……

The air was filled with the smell of blood, but Ban Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief. She supported the wall with one hand, calming her heartbeat and breathing: "Finally, there is no danger..."

Senior Sun wiped his sweat and said: "Huh, you escaped a disaster, you escaped a disaster... Are you all okay?"

Ban Xiyu shook her head: "We are fine." As she spoke, she reached out and touched the back of Wen Jisheng's hand, which was slippery and sticky, "Jisheng, are you injured?! It was just now -"

"A small injury, it doesn't matter."

Wen Jisheng took a fire stick and lit the candlestick on the wall. With the faint light of the oil lamp, Ban Xiyu simply bandaged Wen Jisheng with a handkerchief.

Senior Sun said: "Since it is safe for now, let's quickly meet up with the others."

With that said, the three of them used oil lamps for lighting and walked forward along the dark passage.

Fortunately, the secret passage was not too long. Not long after, they heard the noise coming from not far away.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang and the others are back!"

There was a rustling sound, and all the guests turned their eyes.

Wen Jisheng and others came closer: "So you are all here." They stopped and looked around at the same time.

Senior Sun looked surprised: "Where is this place?"

Ban Xiyu also glanced around and saw that at the end of the secret passage was a closed room with neither ventilation nor light. The walls facing each other are rows of bookshelves. There is a table on the left side, and a table, chairs and tea set on the right side.

Opposite the secret passage is a narrow passage leading elsewhere. There were no lights in the passage, and it was pitch black.

"What's so mysterious about this place? You should ask Mr. Jiang." Someone pointedly said, "Since Mr. Jiang is the young master of Honghu Villa, he should know the origins of everything in the Villa, right?"

"That's right. Mr. Jiang, please help us answer our questions - why are there so many mechanisms hidden in the villa, and why is there such a secret study behind the secret passage of the mechanism?"
