Chapter 153

After defeating the python and bats, the group took a brief rest before heading toward the secret chamber within the castle. The castle was already eerie and bizarre, and the passage leading to the secret chamber now radiated an even more mysterious and oppressive aura. The door to the secret chamber was tightly shut, its surrounding walls covered in mysterious runes. Those runes flickered with a dim light, as if whispering ancient and forbidden secrets. Zhang Yue stepped forward and gently pushed the door, but it did not budge an inch. His brow was furrowed, his expression grave, and his handsome face was filled with deep contemplation. Dressed in a cyan robe, his tall and slender figure stood upright like a green pine defying the wind. "It seems this door is sealed by some kind of powerful force," he said, his deep and magnetic voice echoing through the silent passage. Huowu crossed her arms and sneered, "Hmph, I refuse to believe we can't open it!" She wore a red dress, looking like a blazing fire. Her delicate and pretty face appeared even more vivid with anger, her bright eyes wide and glowing with stubborn determination. The Flame Whip in her hand quivered slightly, as if longing for battle.
