The earthen stove had been in Brother Zhuo's room all night, and then he had died; she had only begun to feel unwell after entering this side chamber.
Regardless, she needed to leave here quickly.
She pressed the mechanism to open the door, but found it malfunctioned, and the door wouldn't budge at all.
Gu Youyou picked up a rock and completely destroyed the mechanism, thinking, 'If I'm going to die, I'm not letting it out.'
The others watched Gu Youyou with nervous and fearful eyes. Having killed Zhuo Qing and making such a mess—if she succeeded, it would be fine, but if she failed, they were surely doomed.
That was when two men in black emerged from the other side chambers, hearing the commotion. Seeing Gu Youyou holding a rock and knocking on the door, they quickly crossed over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Gu Youyou, looking terrified, said, "The two Daoists inside are trapped, the door won't open."
