Chapter 918 Found The Secret Path (Part Two)
"Yes, everything is ready. We will leave soon."
"You can rest assured. I will order people to pretend that you are still in the army to confuse the
enemy," Wanda Murong added. Although she had a weak body, she had a sophisticated mind. That
was a blessing in disguise.
After dressing up to cover their true identities, Harper and Kile quietly left and headed for their
destination. On the other side, Matthew was looking at the map and investigating the road he had
found.
"Your Highness, we''ve been wandering around here for a long time. Wouldn''t it be toote for us to go
back to Dragon Pass?" Barry asked with a worried face. "Emperor Rndo has reached Dragon Pass.
If we can''t go back there, I''m afraid that Marquis Shawn will not be able to hold on."
"Don''t worry. Felton is still there. He will take care of that," Matthew replied in a t tone. He didn''t
worry about Dragon Pass at all. He was now focusing on studying the very path. It was recorded that it
led straight to Dragon Pass, but this fact was rarely known. Harper once read the record about this path
and shared this information with him. If he could find this secret path, it would be very beneficial to him.
"Mister Felton?" Barry repeated. On hearing this, he remembered Felton who was weak in body yet
cunning in mind. Then he fell into silence. Yes, Felton was still at Dragon Pass. What was more, he
trusted that his emperor would never allow Dragon Pass to be controlled by Rndo. The emperor
surely had already sent people to support Dragon Pass. Even though Rndo led the army to attack in
person, it would not be an easy job to take over Dragon Pass.
"Send someone to search for this path again. We must find it!" Matthew immediately gave an order to
his men. If they found the very path, they could use this shortcut and arrive at Dragon Pass quickly.
That way, they would strike Rndo off guard all of a sudden. Now, Matthew was very angry. He would
do whatever he could to Rndo after what Rndo had done to him and Harper.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The secret guards continued to go deep into the mountains, searching for the legendary shortcut. They
had already searched for five or six days here, but still couldn''t find any trace. They were afraid that
they could not afford to waste time searching for that path anymore. Things might go worse.
"What''s wrong with His Highness? Why does he have to find this path?" Jack asked in confusion. If it
were not for the fact that they were ordered to search for this path, they could have arrived at Dragon
Pass long ago.
"He must have his own reason for this. We don''t need to guess it. All we need to do is follow his
orders," Barry replied as he continued his search. This path should be very important. That was why
Matthew had worked so hard to find it.
Jack pressed his lips. "I''m so envious of Fred. It must be very fun to stay with Lady Harper."
"What? Fun?" When Barry heard hisments, the corners of his eyes twitched a bit. He didn''t think it
was fun to follow Harper all the time. He had heard that the twelve secret guards had been tricked into
the Labyrinth Swamp by her once. Although everyone''s strength had been improved since then, they
all looked frightened when speaking of what happened in the swamp as if they didn''t want to go there
again. It could be seen that it might be very fun to stay with Harper, but it sometimes meant risking
one''s life to follow her.
At the moment, Jack was bing bored and began to beat the weeds with a stick impatiently. "Of
course it''s fun staying with her. There are always various interesting things happening around her, both
dangerous and exciting. That is just so... Ouch!"
Jack cried out miserably as hegged behind. Hearing that, Barry turned his head but did not see any
trace of Jack. He couldn''t help but feel a chill in his heart. Could it be an enemy who was attacking
him? "Jack, Jack, where are you?"
It turned out that Jack identally slipped down and fell directly into the dense grass. He rolled down
along the slope for a long time until he finally stopped and felt dizzy.
"Barry, try to pull me up," Jack cried out as he rubbed his head with his hand. But after waiting for a
long time, he did not receive any response. He immediately grew alert and began to check his
surroundings. Then, he noticed that he had fallen into a strange valley. Both the two sides were
mountains, except for a narrow and hidden path in the middle. The path was covered by weeds. As a
result, people rarely noticed it.
"Oh! This is it! This should be the path His Highness is searching for!" Jack murmured joyfully. He then
immediately went back. After he pulled away the thick weeds, he saw Barry was looking for him
everywhere.
"Barry! I found it! I found the secret passage His Highness mentioned! Go inform him now!" shouted
Jack with excitement.
At first, Barry had been worried about the safety of Jack. When he saw that Jack popped out from
nowhere with a dirty face and told him excitedly that he had found the shortcut mentioned by Matthew,
he was both surprised and delighted. Then he immediately went back and reported the news to
Matthew.
When Matthew came with his men, he noticed the path that had been covered in the grass. He finally
understood that no wonder they hadn''t found it. If it hadn''t been for Jack''s reckless behavior, he would
never have thought that this path was a downward one even after they had searched the whole ce
thoroughly.
"Let''s go down to explore the way," Matthew ordered at once.
"Yes, Your Highness."
They pulled apart the grass and went down one by one. Looking at the man-made path, they could not
help but feel happy. It seemed that this was exactly the path they had been looking for.
All of a sudden, Matthew noticed a stone tablet by the roadside, and read the words carefully. After he
finished reading it, he was relieved. "This is indeed the path we are looking for. It''s time for us to go to
Dragon Pass."
Hearing that, everybody heaved a sigh of relief. They then turned around and were about to climb up.
However, when they were halfway through the climbing, Matthew asked,
"What are you doing?"
"We are going up so we can go to Dragon Pass," one of the secret guards answered in a careful tone.

"The path leading to Dragon Pass is here!" We should go along this way," Matthew said slowly, pointing
to the winding path in the valley.
