  A loud rumbling sound was heard, and the entire cliff collapsed in an instant. However, this time the collapse did not raise a massive cloud of dust, because all the sand had a tendency to melt, emitting a faint red glow, becoming soft on the surface, and the fine dust had completely liquefied, so this collapse did not raise a massive cloud of dust.

  For this phenomenon, Wei Ziming was slightly stunned, but after thinking through the reason behind it, Wei Ziming didn't pay much attention to it. However, when the steep cliff collapsed and a cave as tall as a person appeared in the rubble, this cave instantly caught Wei Ziming's attention.

  Wei Ziming walked over a few steps, his eyes scanning the cave. He could clearly see that on the wall of the cave there were remnants of artificial excavation, from which it could be seen that this cave was artificially excavated.

  At this thought, Wei Ziming was suddenly startled. Although it was a desolate mountain and wilderness around him with no human habitation in sight, the nearest place to here was Weijiazhuang. Moreover, the direction of extension of this cave was clearly towards Weijiazhuang.

  This passage is absolutely not something the people of Weijiazhuang came up with themselves, which means it was done by someone else. At this time, Wei Ziming's first thought in his mind was that someone was calculating or plotting against Weijiazhuang. When he thought of this, Wei Ziming suddenly felt a great shock, for this was a big deal.

  However, when Wei Ziming walked into this cave, judging from the marks on the wall of the cave, this cave has existed for a long time, at least several decades.

  This cave has existed for such a long time, if someone really wanted to plot against the Wei family, it should have been a long time ago. And from a young age living in the Wei family, Wei Ziming didn't have any memories of enemy attacks on the Wei family. Thinking about this made Wei Ziming also slightly relieved.

  However, when Wei Ziming carefully examined the cave again, he found that there were fresh footprints on the ground. The depth of these footprints was all the same, and the footsteps were steady and powerful. The distance between each footprint was almost the same, as if measured with a ruler. It can be seen that the person who left these footprints is a martial artist.

  If the person who dug this cave had been harboring sinister intentions towards the Wei family, and this conspiracy had been brewing for decades, it was clear that the mastermind behind the scenes had a profound and unfathomable mind, like an abyss. The thought of such a terrifying person plotting against the Wei family made Wei Ziming's hair stand on end, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

  Wei Ziming took a deep breath, although these were just speculations, but Wei Ziming had to further verify them. If the cave was unrelated to the Wei family, then he could breathe a sigh of relief. If the cave really existed because of the Wei family, then he also had to report this news to the Wei family.

  With a decision in mind, Wei Ziming didn't hesitate at all and directly walked into the cave, heading in the direction of the Wei family's location. If the exit of this cave was indeed near the Wei family's residence, then Wei Ziming's guess would be almost certainly correct.

  As Wei Ziming went deeper, the light in the cave grew dimmer and dimmer, until it was completely pitch black, unable to see his own fingers when he stretched out his hand.

  However, Wei Ziming's spiritual awareness has become extremely sensitive now, so in this dark cave without a single ray of light, he can clearly distinguish whether there are obstacles in the cave. Moreover, this cave is straight forward and almost never changes direction, so Wei Ziming's footsteps are exceptionally quick.

  However, Wei Ziming was completely unaware of this cave, so he didn't dare to rush forward. Instead, he proceeded cautiously and steadily, stopping from time to time to listen for any sounds coming from within the cave.

  In the cave, Wei Ziming saw fresh footprints on the ground, so he couldn't determine if there was anyone in the cave. Therefore, Wei Ziming needed to be extremely cautious, as the saying goes: "Caution is never wrong", which Wei Ziming had always agreed with.

  He walked cautiously for nearly an hour, but the cave was still pitch black, and there were no obstacles on the ground. The direction of the entrance was still straight ahead. Wei Ziming endured his anxiety, stopping every now and then to listen for any sounds coming from in front of him.

  Suddenly, Wei Ziming's advancing footsteps came to a halt, and he stopped abruptly. His ears twitched slightly as he faintly heard the sound of someone speaking.

  There was a commotion in the cave, and Wei Ziming became even more cautious, slowing down his pace, advancing silently. After a moment, in this dark cave, a faint light came from the front, and Wei Ziming could judge that the light should be emitted from a torch.

  Wei Ziming saw the light and continued on for a while, and this straight tunnel finally changed. What appeared before Wei Ziming's eyes was a cave of about 100 square meters in size, which was also man-made.

  Fortunately, the torch was not shining into a cave, and there were some debris in the cave, so it was still pitch black inside. In the darkness, Wei Ziming hid his body, adjusted his breathing, and stared forward without making a sound.

  When Wei Ziming saw the two people whispering in front of him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Wei Ziming saw a familiar face, and it was Qian Ming, the trusted steward of the Wei family.

  Qian Ming had served the Wei family for three generations and had gained their deep trust. What Wei Ziming did not expect was that Qian Ming was actually an enemy spy hiding within the Wei family.

  This passage has existed for a very long time, and the three generations of Qian Ming have been doing things for the Wei family. From this, it can be seen that since Qian Ming's grandfather entered the Wei family, someone has been plotting against the Wei family. The Wei family actually had an enemy hidden so deeply that if Wei Ziming hadn't discovered this passage by chance today and broken through it, the Wei family might still not have known that someone was plotting against them.

  Although this is a secret passage, Qian Ming and the person in front of him are still extremely cautious, speaking in low voices, while Wei Ziming is hiding his figure at a considerable distance, so he can't hear what they're talking about.

  However, Wei Ziming could tell from Qian Ming's respectful attitude that the person he was handing over to had a certain status, but this person was facing away from Wei Ziming, so Wei Ziming couldn't see his face clearly. The only thing that could be judged from this back shadow was that this person should be very young, probably in his early twenties.

  About half a minute later, after Qian Ming bowed and retreated from the cave, the person who had taken over from him kept watching until Qian Ming's figure disappeared, and even waited for a while, showing unusual caution.

  After a while, the man finally turned around and walked towards Wei Ziming. At this moment, Wei Ziming's eyelids suddenly jumped, because he had also seen such a face, and to his surprise, he knew this person too.

  His name is Yu Gaojing, the legitimate son of the Yu family, one of the three major families in Huangsha County. He is 23 years old this year and it is said that his cultivation has already broken through to the sixth layer at the beginning of this year.

  Wei Ziming watched as Yu Gaojing, with his six-layer cultivation base, walked over. In his heart, he didn't feel even a hint of fear. At this moment, Wei Ziming was only at the fourth layer of cultivation, but in his inner heart, he was filled with a sense of determination to win, an unshakeable will to victory.

  Wei Ziming was clear about his own situation and had a common sense of this world. Although his cultivation was only at the fourth level, Wei Zimming's meridians had undergone a rebirth after nirvana, and his meridians and dantian had expanded several times.

  When breaking through the fourth layer, the meridian dan tian expanded by another one-third, and the capacity of the dan tian's internal energy had greatly increased. Moreover, the quality of his internal energy was also silently upgraded.

  Although Yu Gaojing in front of him is a sixth-level cultivator, the amount of internal energy in his body may not be comparable to that of Wei Ziming. Moreover, when a martial artist's cultivation reaches the fifth level, their internal energy will only start to develop in terms of quality. As Yu Gaojing is currently at the sixth level, even if the quality of his internal energy is high, it won't be extremely high, and it's also possible that the quality of his internal energy is lower than that of Wei Ziming.

  Moreover, Wei Ziming had already mastered a top-notch martial skill at this moment. Wei Ziming knew that even if his other conditions were normal, mastering such a top-notch martial skill would allow him to fight beyond his level, with enormous power. This decided that high-level martial skills were not something ordinary people could master, and Wei Ziming happened to have mastered one of the top-notch martial skills.

  Moreover, the passage behind Wei Ziming had already collapsed for a while, and the Yu family would inevitably discover it sooner or later. This was an unchangeable fact, so whether Wei Ziming fought against Yu Gaogui or retreated secretly, the outcome would not change. Therefore, he wanted to fight against Yu Gaogui, and at this moment, his heart was filled with fighting spirit.

  Qian Ming has left, so Wei Ziming no longer hides his figure and does not conceal his existence. He walks directly towards You Gaojing from the darkness.

  Wei Ziming didn't conceal his presence, walking forward, while Yu Gaojing, who was walking in this direction, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from ahead. He stopped in his tracks, his face sinking, and then inserted the torch into the wall, his right hand pressing down on the hilt of his sword, his eyes gleaming with vigilance as he stared forward.

  "You didn't expect the Yu family to have such ulterior motives, building a secret passage leading to our Wei family's manor and even planting a spy within our ranks." Under the flickering light of the torches, Wei Ziming emerged from the passageway, his eyes gleaming with icy coldness as he stared at Yu Gaoding.

  "Wei Ziwu? How can you appear here?" In the dimly lit mountain cave, Yu Gaojing looked at Wei Ziming's face, looking at Wei Ziming's calm and steady expression, suddenly took Wei Ziming as Wei Ziwu, and his heart also sank to the bottom of the valley.

  In Yu Gaojing's mind, Wei Ziwu appeared here and had already discovered the Yu family's decades-long conspiracy against the Wei family. Moreover, Yu Gaojing felt a chill in his heart at the mention of Wei Ziwu's genius name and his cultivation at the seventh level.

  Although the sixth and seventh layers are only one level apart, from the fifth layer onwards, internal energy has already begun to develop in a qualitative direction. The difference of one level is an unbridgeable gap, which can be called a heavenly moat.
