Нer thоughts sсattеred in the wind as Yun Weishan drew closer to the entrance of the Secret Passage. This path was not unfamiliar to her, yet she walked it very slowly.
The entrance to the Secret Passage was now in sight. Yun Weishan hesitated for a moment before quickening her pace toward it.
Yun Weishan pressed the mechanism on the wall, and the stone door opened, only to reveal Gong Yuanzhi stepping out from within, smiling.
Yun Weishan’s face turned pale, and she involuntarily took a few steps back. She looked up and realized that dozens of guards had appeared on the high walls, while even more guards emerged behind her, trapping her inside the Secret Passage.
Yun Weishan’s expression changed instantly as she understood what was happening.
