Yun Chi charged into the ancient array alone, and he could sneak through it without making a sound, but with Hua Yan in tow, just as he said, the difficulty was greatly increased and it was impossible not to make any noise.
So, after they stepped into the ancient array, despite Yun Chi's familiarity with it, and his extreme caution, they still triggered a mechanism halfway through.
The moment the mechanism was triggered, a bell sound emerged from somewhere. In an instant, the bell rang loudly and continuously, the entire Nine Rings Mountain was echoing with the sound of bells.
Hua Yan's face changed, and she cried out, "Yun Chi."
"It's alright. It was expected. Hold on tight to me." Yun Chi's robes billowed out as he spun in mid-air while holding Hua Yan with one arm, and he threw something with his other hand that landed on the central part of the array.
In an instant, the bell stopped ringing.
