In the stone chamber, the moment Bai Lingli appeared, Ye Xin and the others had already activated their Soul Power and rushed to Lin Qian’s side, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
Zhao Long, holding the Tailong Spear, rushed to Lin Qian’s side with a furious expression, staring at Bai Lingli.
Previously, he had also noticed this damned member of the Swift Hidden Clan, but the emperor’s thought had echoed in his mind, ordering him not to act rashly. Otherwise, he would have already gone forward to stab this audacious assailant into a hornet’s nest! Continue your journey on Freewebnovel
Just as Zhao Long thought, Lin Qian had long since noticed the members of the Swift Hidden Clan heading toward this fortress. The entire Small World was already filled with the Huaxia Empire’s Reconnaissance Beasts, and any slight movement was fully reported to him by Zhuge Ming.
The Swift Hidden Clan had appeared from where the Black Blade Fish Clan had vanished and was heading in this direction.
Although their Talent allowed them to conceal their figures, the consumption of Soul Power was not light, so naturally, they would not use their Talent while traveling.
Therefore, from beginning to end, they were under Lin Qian’s surveillance!
"You don’t seem surprised by our arrival," Bai Lingli noted Lin Qian’s composed demeanor and, furrowing his brow, inquired.
Boom!
Just at that moment, the spacious stone chamber underground suddenly started shaking violently, alarming everyone except Lin Qian and Zhao Long.
Huge rocks fell from the entrance they had initially descended from, and soon that side had completely collapsed, thoroughly blocking the exit.
"Don’t worry, it was my people outside acting on my instructions to do this, just in case," Lin Qian explained to the astonished Ye Xin and others, "after all, we cannot let any of the Swift Hidden Clan escape."
Having said this, Lin Qian looked at Bai Lingli in front of him and smiled, saying no more.
To ensure foolproof security, Lin Qian had to make thorough preparations, just like sealing the exit leading out.
The entire stone chamber was also enveloped by an Array, such as them being unable to fly in this chamber, which was one aspect of the Array.
Because of the existence of this Array, the entire stone chamber was also very robust.
Although the Array was also very crudely arranged with many loopholes, and after years of erosion, its power had decreased too much, breaking it would not be a difficult task.
If the Swift Hidden Clan truly intended to escape, they could indeed destroy the Array and break through the ground.
However, with Lin Qian and others present, it would be impossible for Bai Lingli and his clan members to have their way.

"Impossible, how could you realize our presence when we are beneath the ground, still enveloped by the Array of our ancestors?" Bai Lingli gently shook his head, looking at Lin Qian in front of him, "Perhaps the inheritance object sensed our arrival and reacted abnormally, allowing you to detect us."
Saying this, Bai Lingli also stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and the direction he pointed toward was precisely a Treasure Bead with wings, the inheritance object of the Swift Hidden Clan.
At this moment, the flowing breeze of the inheritance object became even more intense, and the green color appeared much richer. The wings growing on the Treasure Bead fluttered steadily toward Bai Lingli’s side.
Bai Lingli’s words made the others come to a sudden realization, their eyes also revealing a hint of joy. The Swift Hidden Clan was troublesome because their tracks were invisible.
Now that they had the Heritage Object, it was essentially their compass. It pointed to wherever the enemy was, wasn’t it helping them?
"Looking at your expressions, do you think that with the Heritage Object, you can now find us?" Bai Lingli, the only one in the stone chamber whose shape was visible, saw Lin Qian and the others and suddenly scoffed mockingly, "That is because we are standing together, and our combined aura is too strong."
"Disperse!"
As Bai Lingli waved his hand, Lin Qian could clearly feel the thousand members of the Swift Hidden Clan who were originally behind him suddenly scatter in all directions.
Simultaneously, the wings on the Heritage Object stopped beating toward Bai Lingli and instead began flapping irregularly, just like they had at the very beginning.
Seeing this change, everyone’s faces immediately darkened, while on Bai Lingli’s face, a smug smile appeared.
"The area we are in now should not be the entire Small World, but merely one region. And in the southernmost part of this region, a team appeared an hour ago." As a smug smile appeared on Bai Lingli’s face, Lin Qian’s voice also rose.
"The leader of the entire team is you, a Swift Hidden Clan member of the Life and Death Realm, and you brought two hundred Swift Hidden Clan members with you, all now inside this stone chamber."
"On the way, your group encountered a total of three hundred and sixty-four different Soul Beasts and slain them, including one hundred and twenty-seven Soul Beasts killed by your hand. Of course, besides this, there are two Swift Hidden Clan members in your team who caught my attention."
At this point, Lin Qian suddenly pointed towards his left hand side: "These two must be twin brothers, it seems they have mastered a joint attack technique. The number of Soul Beasts they killed is exactly one hundred, which I can’t help but commend."
"However, speaking of which, there aren’t many female clan members in your team, only fourteen."
Lin Qian’s words, one after another, caused Bai Lingli’s expression to shift from surprise to shock and then to fear, his body chilled, disbelieving as he stared at the young man of the Human Clan in front of him.
What’s going on?
How could the other party know their movements so clearly, how many Soul Beasts they had killed along the way, it was all known in detail.
And despite other clan members clearly not revealing any traces and remaining hidden, how could the other party know this so clearly?
At this moment, Bai Lingli even suspected that there might be a spy from the enemy within his own team.
"And you are too foolish, not even thinking before bringing all your clan members inside," Lin Qian couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he spoke, "If I were you, I would definitely have left a few people outside, to keep watch, and if there was no result for a while, to let them go back and report."
"However, your actions would have been useless anyway, because my subordinates would still slay your clan members."
Saying this, Lin Qian turned and walked towards the Heritage Object, reaching out and grabbing it.
Seeing Lin Qian actually reach for the Heritage Object of his own clan, perhaps prompted by the earlier scornful mockeries, Bai Lingli couldn’t help but retort.
At this time, Lin Qian’s hand was also approaching the Heritage Object.
Instantly, a profound ancient will from inside the Heritage Object burst out, suddenly shouting: "The descendant of my clan is here, and these petty individuals of the Human Clan presume to steal our clan’s heritage? Get out!"
