Chapter 62: Sect's Secret Land 2

  When it was Fang Tiannan's turn to approach the edge of the cliff and prepare to jump, he could clearly feel the gentle breeze brushing against his ears. The scene that fell into Fang Tiannan's eyes was also a blur. Standing at the edge of the cliff, looking out, although the front was a vast expanse, there were faintly floating clouds and mist, as for what kind of scenery was below the cliff, it was obviously not very clear.

  Fang Tian Nan guessed that this cliff was extremely steep and the valley below was deep and secluded.

  Walking in front of Fang Tian Nan was the outer door disciple, Zhai Jian Ming. After Fang Tian Nan jumped down from his opponent, his heart tightened slightly. Afterwards, it seemed like he heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground, faintly coming from below the cliff. Only then did Fang Tian Nan let out a sigh of relief. Fang Tian Nan thought to himself that Zhai Jian Ming probably didn't fall directly to the bottom of the cliff, but rather landed on solid ground at some point in between. Otherwise, this faint sound shouldn't have traveled up so quickly.

  Noticing the person behind him, who seemed to be urging him on, Fang Tian Nan adjusted the circulation of his internal energy and also took a step forward, his expression calm as he jumped down.

  Fang Tian's steps were not very big, and during the jump, he slightly arched his back. So when Fang Tian felt his body continuously falling down, he still observed the cliff wall beside him quite carefully. Basically, it was in a vertical state, with few protruding points.

  This made Fang Tian Nan recall the words of Fang Zhang Lao, "Don't jump too far, nor get too close", which seemed to be very reasonable.

  Since the sect was very familiar with the terrain of this cliff, Fang Tian Nan stopped thinking about continuing to observe. He suddenly heard someone shouting "Attention, be prepared to land" and immediately became vigilant.

  Then, all he heard was a "bang" sound, and Fang Tian Nan only felt his body sink into a softness, while the downward trend that followed gradually stopped. Before Fang Tian Nan could come back to himself, someone pulled him away from the location quickly.

  At this time, Fang Tian Nan finally saw clearly that the place where he was located was a relatively protruding point from the cliff wall. And at this location, there were metal plates extending out of the cliff, set up by the sect's original attendants who had jumped down, with an area of over ten square meters.

  On this relatively flat metal plate, there are also many cotton-like items placed on it to serve as shock-absorbing materials.

  Fang Tian Nan previously fell into this place.

  Carefully looked around the surrounding environment, three sides were cliffs, very empty. The place where Fang Tian Nan stood could only hold dozens of people. And right at the end where it touched the cliff wall, there was a cave entrance with many quarrying marks on top.

  Old Fang's gaze, as always, looked up at the cliff, waiting for the next member to jump down.

  Fang Tian Nan quietly walked over to Xiao Ruo and Di Jian Ming's side.

  At this time, many of the outer sect disciples fell silent and stopped asking questions. They just had to wait until everyone was present before Elder Fang would explain things.

  。。。。。。

  As expected, after the last name of the press corps successfully arrived at the gathering place of Fang Tian Nan and others, Elder Fang waved his hand and led everyone into the cave.

  Then, the two attendants quickly raised the metal plates that had been set up earlier with the ropes left behind. At the same time, Fang Tian Nan and others felt that the surrounding environment suddenly darkened.

  "Zhi——" With a sound, Fang Zhanglao easily lit a torch.

  By the firelight, Fang Tian Nan looked around and couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment in his heart.

  The metal plate that was originally carrying Fang Tian Nan and others when they fell, happened to block the entrance of the cave. From the inside looking out, the excavation marks at the edge of the cave entrance were still relatively obvious. However, the light from outside the cliff did not shine into the cave at all.

  There are still many among the outer disciples who have similar actions to Fang Tian Nan.

  "Alright, you don't have to be so cautious anymore." The first executive who jumped off the cliff said with a smile, "Looking from the inside out, nothing can be seen. But what I can tell you is that looking from the outside in, it's also impossible to make sense of anything."

  "In other words, the outer layer of this metal plate has been disguised as a cliff?" Xiao Ruo asked.

  "Yes." The deacon nodded.

  "Hurry up, we're almost out of time." Fang Zhanglao ignored the doubts of Xiao Ruo and other outer sect disciples, and shouted at the two attendants, "Have you brought everything on your body?"

  "Hmm." The two attendants nodded. At the same time, both of them took out a token from their chest. Elder Fang also took out a similar token. The three walked to the metal plate that had been erected, and after some fumbling, they cleared away some of the remaining cotton batting on top, then seemed to find the correct position and placed their respective tokens on it.

  At that moment, Fang Tian Nan and the others could clearly feel that this metal plate flashed a faint light in an instant, and then gradually disappeared.

  "Is this a seal?" Xiao Ruo subconsciously opened her mouth and said.

  "That's right, this is indeed a hidden type of seal. In terms of attacking ability, it's slightly weaker." Fang Zhanglao turned his head and looked at Xiao Ruo with approval, explaining, "This is also for the safety consideration of this place. With this seal, the disguise of this cave entrance will be much safer, even if someone notices some clues."

  At this moment, Fang Tian Nan and the others felt a sense of awe at the complexity of the cave, which was worth the sect's enormous effort. Correspondingly, everyone had higher expectations for this sect mission.

  。。。。。。

  The old man Fang led the crowd and continued to walk a distance into the cave.

  The direction of the road during this period, sometimes upwards, sometimes flat, and sometimes downwards. What made Fang Tian Nan feel a bit unexpected was that there were actually several forks in the road.

  "These forks, if an outsider enters and goes in the wrong direction, will encounter many mechanisms and traps." A steward explained casually.

  At this moment, everyone's gaze at those forks in the road added a few more trembles.

  After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Fang Tian Nan and the others arrived at a relatively empty space. The four walls, although still simple and even rough with chisel marks on the stone wall, but the ground was relatively flat. There were more than 20 people standing in the space, and the position seemed to be quite spacious.

  Old Fang clapped his hands and gestured, then turned to everyone and said: "Now that we've arrived here, our tasks are basically complete. You all see the large door behind me. Next, what you need to do is push open this door and enter the space inside."

  "Old Fang, what's inside this big gate?" someone asked.

  "Good question." Fang Lao smiled and said, "Actually, I also want to know what's behind this big gate. Unfortunately, when I was young, my talent and strength were no match for you people, so I never entered the back of this gate. However, there is someone here who has been inside."

  As he spoke, Fang Chang's eyes also glanced at the law enforcement officer standing beside him.

  "When I was still an outer disciple of the sect, I did indeed go in." The attendant nodded and said, "To be specific, the world inside is very mysterious and subtle. What kind of gains you can get depends on your individual luck. However, what I can say beforehand is that this place is a secret land of our Qingyun Sect. This has been passed down since the sect was founded."

  "Isn't it a long way off?" Zhai Jianming was slightly stunned.

  Fang Tian Nan didn't know that the Qing Yun Sect was founded in a specific year, but it's definitely been more than 500 years. Because some of the legendary stories about the true heroes of the Qing Yun Sect date back to over 500 or 600 years ago. The entire sect must have been established even earlier than these legends.

  After going through such a long time without being discovered by other sects, the secrecy of Qingyun Sect is one aspect, and another is probably that there are few people involved in this secret place.
