Then, Hu Yan led his men to the hidden entrance. He turned and said to them in a low voice, "My adjutant and I will go in first to scout ahead. Take this. It will guide you inside. Don't come in until I give the signal."
Hu Yan split off a small strand of his spiritual power and handed it to one of the squad leaders.
He then nodded to his adjutant, who understood immediately. The adjutant followed close behind as the two of them slipped quickly and silently into the entrance.
The entrance was unremarkable, the kind you would subconsciously overlook with a single glance.
Hu Yan hadn't brought many men, but each was a hand-picked elite. Having fought alongside him for years, they worked together in perfect sync. Every soldier was equipped with advanced Battle Armor and fully armed, ready to handle any emergency.
