The subordinate explained, "Lord, our people have been circling around here for several days, only to find that the mechanisms here are interconnected. The key is, after all the circling, we ended up here and couldn't find a way out."

"But just an hour ago, our people discovered a new mechanism, right under the spot where the Lord is standing!"

Upon hearing this, Ella lowered her gaze to her feet.

The subordinate gestured for her to step back, found the mechanism to open it, and suddenly a hidden passage appeared in the ground.

"We found this mechanism and immediately sent someone to inform the Lord. So far, no ying has explored it."

Ella walked forward, looking down at the dark opening from a high vantage point, which seemed as sinister and terrifying as an abyss.

From her perspective, it was eerie.

"I'll go down and take a look."

As she was about to step down, Juliet quickly stopped her, "Lord, no ying knows what secrets lie below. You must not take any risks. If someone has to go down, let me do it."

Juliet is loyal to Ella, and she was the first to go down. Suddenly, Ella's hand gently rested on her shoulder. Juliet turned to see her smiling at her, "Let's go down together." "Master..." Juliet respected Ella because of the life-saving grace she had shown her, and Ella chose to keep her by her side despite her loyalty to Juliet in the past, which made Juliet very grateful. Therefore, Juliet once swore to follow Ella to the death in this life, and betraying her would lead to a miserable death. "Okay, let's go together!" She took the lead in forging ahead, the light of the torch illuminating the entire dark passage, with Ella and other members following behind. The dark passage was not deep, just about the height of a floor. They quickly reached the ground by descending the stairs. Ella looked around, the outline visible through the torchlight.

Unexpectedly, the underground maze still harbored secrets, with even a negative second floor.

"Everything be careful, there may be traps here too!" Ella reminded the group, holding a torch and scanning the surroundings.

The structure of the negative first and second floors was different, more mysterious, with more branching paths ahead.

If Ella wasn't mistaken, there had been modifications made behind the design plans.

She was familiar with the structure of the negative first floor, but completely unfamiliar with the structure of the negative second floor.

Therefore, the dangers ahead were all unknown, rushing in recklessly could potentially lead to life-threatening situations.

But if they didn't enter, they would never know what secrets were hidden here.

Ella took a deep breath, with things having come this far, she had no way to retreat.

So even if there were mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, she had to charge through once.

But just as she took a step forward, a dark figure flashed by in the darkness, swiftly attacking towards her.

"Master, be careful!"

Madeline exclaimed, her figure flashing in front of Ella, blocking the attack for her.

The dark shadow disappeared into the darkness like a ghost once again.

However, in the silent space, strange sounds suddenly came, and soon, chilling auras approached.

Ella's pupils slightly narrowed, then she shouted sharply, "Retreat, quickly!"

The group turned back the way they came, but the hidden weapons were too fast and fierce, injuring many.

Madeline protected Ella all the way as they left. Although she narrowly escaped with her life, her arm was still injured by the hidden weapons, blood flowing freely.

Ella stood at the entrance of the darkness, looking down from above.

Thinking back to the shadow that passed by just now, although it was not clear in the darkness, there was a strange scent lingering in the air, different from Tanggong's scent.

In other words, there are other people down below!

Realizing this, Ella furrowed his brows even deeper!

...

The news of Ella venturing into the underground maze again quickly reached Bradley's ears.

"What did you say, there are secrets beneath the maze?"

"Yes, and there are also other people lurking below. Miss Mi was ambushed as soon as she went down with her people. The other party is obviously very familiar with the area below, failed in the ambush and then resorted to using hidden weapons."

Lance told him Everyone.

The more he listened, the uglier Bradley's expression became. He originally thought that the scope of the underground maze was limited to ying level, but he did not expect there to be a negative second level.

"What is the situation with Ella now?"

"Not good, Miss Mi has not been well since the last injury, her body has been uncomfortable, and she has even vomited blood several times. We have already sent for a doctor to come and treat her, but there has been no improvement."

After Ella inherited Spirit Pavilion, Bradley secretly sent people to protect her.

Here is the translation:

"This is Xavier's instructions to him, and he has been trying his best to fulfill his responsibilities.

But unexpectedly, Ella still ended up getting hurt.

"The doctor said, Miss Mi is suffering from a heart ailment. It's hard to cure without a specialist in heart medicine."

After hesitating for a moment, Lance finally spoke these words.

Bradley rubbed his forehead and gestured to him, "This matter must not be leaked out, especially not to Madam."

If Freya knew about this, she would definitely rush to see Ella regardless of Everyone.

She has not fully recovered from childbirth, and he is really worried that this might leave a lasting impact on her health.

"What should you not let me know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft voice came from the front.

Bradley's heart trembled, he looked up and saw Freya entering through the door."

The man gave Lance a signal with his eyes to retreat immediately. After Lance left, the man stood up from his position and walked towards her effortlessly, pulling her into his arms.

"Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"The door wasn't closed!" Freya said helplessly, "Is there some secret here that I can't know about?"

Having been lying down for so long, she felt like she was about to mold.

She had intended to go downstairs to see the children, but unexpectedly passed by the study and heard voices inside. Seeing the door was open, she pushed it open and entered.

She didn't expect to hear that last sentence.

"Tell me the truth, what were you just talking about regarding Ella?"

Freya vaguely heard the conversation, but it seemed like they mentioned Ella's name.

Bradley held her hand and sat down on the sofa. After a moment of silence, he said, "There's news from Spirit Pavilion that a new discovery has been made in the underground maze. In addition to the negative first floor, there is another mechanism below."

As Bradley thought it over, he felt that it would be best to be honest. After all, he had been worrying about Ella's situation all along. If he continued to hide it at this time, she would definitely not be able to bear it when she found out on her own.

"Have you discovered anything mysterious on the negative second floor?"

Upon hearing this news, Freya was somewhat stunned.

Bradley nodded, "I have not delved deep into it yet, but the only thing I can confirm is that there are other people down there, and the situation is extremely dangerous with numerous traps."

"What about Ella, is she still safe?" Freya asked urgently.

This question once again posed a dilemma for Bradley - should he tell her about Ella's situation?
