Li Yifei followed them down, and the other elders exchanged glances before also descending, each holding a candle to illuminate the space below.
Contrary to expectations, this was not a cramped space but rather a very spacious one, with the entire structure made of stone, allowing it to remain intact for countless years. The musty smell wasn't strong, suggesting there was air circulation, and there was a hint of dampness, indicating the presence of underground water or a stream, though Li Yifei couldn't see it, so he wasn't certain.
Seventh Uncle walked slowly forward, explaining to Li Yifei, "This used to be the treasure vault of our clan, but now there aren't any treasures left. It was also used as a refuge in times of disaster. In ancient times, with constant wars, to ensure the clan's survival, when war threatened the Cang Family, the women, children, and elderly would hide down here. Over the years, no outsiders have known about this secret vault."
