Due to the underwater formation set by Futian having a diameter of only one zhang, the two were very close to each other. The faint fragrance of Lan Xuelei's Virgin scent wafted into Futian's nostrils, making it difficult for him to maintain his composure.
He couldn't help but compare Lan Xuelei with Tai Shi Pian Pian, realizing that Lan Xuelei was not at all inferior to Tai Shi Pian Pian. This discovery left Futian Shangren feeling somewhat disheartened. The person he loved for a lifetime could indeed be surpassed by another girl!
Both Miss He Bi and the current Lan Xuelei were exceptional among girls, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Tai Shi Pian Pian.
Meanwhile, Lan Xuelei remained heartless and focused entirely on observing her surroundings.
The two continued to dive down to a depth of two hundred meters, then followed the winding riverbed valley into an area completely composed of stone at the riverbed's base.
Looking out from Futian Shangren's formation, Lan Xuelei noticed that this section of the riverbed was entirely clear stone, without a trace of silt or accumulation.
She sensed something was off; after thousands of years, there should be plenty of sediment at the riverbed.
Sure enough, Futian pointed at the stones and said, "Blue Heroine, this is the gate of the formation. If we rashly step onto this stone, we will trigger a mechanism and immediately fall into their trap."
Lan Xuelei was greatly surprised: this was the gate of the formation? What kind of massive formation would have such a large gate?
Futian led Lan Xuelei onward, and after about half an hour, they reached a depth of approximately four hundred meters underwater. Here, weeds grew thickly, and stones were nearly invisible. Numerous small fish swam around, indicating a tranquil environment.
Futian said to Lan Xuelei, "This is the only entrance to the underground base. What we see now is merely a formation barrier. As long as we break through this barrier, we can enter."
Lan Xuelei could only nod repeatedly; she had already mastered nine aspects of formations and was now only lacking in one! Because she believed solely in power—absolute power.
Futian walked back and forth repeatedly on this barrier, taking about the time it takes to burn two incense sticks before his small formation slowly entered the barrier.
Once inside the barrier, Lan Xuelei was immediately stunned by the magnificent scenery within. Just as she was about to involuntarily shout out, Futian Shangren covered her mouth. The warmth and softness of Lan Xuelei's lips excited Futian, prompting him to quickly release his hand and then slowly calm himself down.
At that moment, Lan Xuelei broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out they were inside the enemy's base.
She looked around and saw towering buildings rising in this base, some even reaching hundreds of feet high. The Carved Railings and Jade Steps were grand and luxurious, with some buildings even taller than the Supreme Immortal Residence of Dragon Lake Academy.
She could clearly see hundreds of thousands of Disciples walking along the wide streets, many of whom were Senior Cultivators. There were even quite a few Eternal Realm Cultivators.
Many Disciples were cultivating in their respective rooms.
Lan Xuelei roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of Disciples in the base, with about one-third being Senior Cultivators.
She was immediately astonished: what kind of organization could this be? The power of this underground base could easily rival that of a major sect. If they emerged, it would likely bring great turmoil to the Yongning Continent.
With just the strength of this one base, overthrowing dozens of dynasties would be no problem at all. How many lives would be lost? How many families would be left homeless?
No, she had to find out who these people were and what they had been doing underwater for so long.
Thus, she urged Futian to enter the building in the base to see what was going on. She already knew that Futian Shangren's formation was invisible and undetectable by others.
Futian Shangren softly said, “Blue Heroine, there’s a place worth taking a look at; it seems to be their conference hall. Shall we go check it out?”
"Alright."
As the two quietly sneaked into the base's conference hall, they found many people inside engaged in animated discussions. It seemed they were holding a meeting.
"Damn it, why does the Ancient Tomb Ancestor insist that we wait until this year to act? I've been here in the Underwater City for over a thousand years; it's time to stretch my legs," an old man with white eyebrows laughed heartily.
Another figure, Scarface, shouted loudly, "Hey, guys, if we go out now, won't we scare the Disciples of Yongning Continent into a daze? Just so you know, we have ten Little Ancestor Saints here."
The white-browed elder immediately interrupted him, saying, "Ten Little Ancestor Saints can only intimidate but can't really take action. Haven't you heard Mike Alon say that the spatial barrier in Yongning Continent is particularly weak right now? It can't withstand a full-force strike from the Minor Ancestor Realm at all."
"What does that matter? If we break through the space, we can go to another realm and avoid coming back to this Underwater City later," a large man said loudly, clearly tired of living in the Underwater City.
The White-Browed Elder also wore a bitter expression as he said, "The Ancient Tomb Ancestor is really something. Here we are at the Extreme Immortal Fortress, yet we can only live underwater. My little brother has it tough; if we lived among humans, I could at least have a thousand or eight hundred young women to enjoy every day and night—that would be fulfilling."
"Although Mike Alon has sent fewer women in recent centuries, their quality is quite good. It's made me even more interested in going out," another old Disciple said passionately.
Futian could see at a glance that the ten people sitting at the front of the conference hall were all Little Ancestor Saints. The other dozens were Disciples of the Eternal Realm. This force had no rivals in Yongning Continent.
They could practically sweep across the entire continent.
Hearing that they were about to emerge soon filled Futian Shangren with waves of fear.
Indeed, he could feel cold sweat starting to seep out from his body.
Lan Xuelei was now gripping her hands tightly, her palms slick with sweat. She was acutely aware that the dozens of people present were the pinnacle figures of the Yongning Continent, not to mention the ten Little Ancestor Saints in attendance. She understood the methods of the Little Ancestor Saints; if this group took action, it would cause significant upheaval in the Yongning Continent.
It seemed that she could no longer afford to rescue Huangfu Jiayin and her companion; she needed to return immediately to report this crucial information to her master. She was eager to leave.
Futian waved his hand, signaling her to continue listening.
Indeed, Scarface spoke again: "Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby announce that this year marks the execution year of the five-thousand-year action plan set by the Ancient Tomb Ancestor. Therefore, we will begin infiltrating the Yongning Continent and establishing bases. Old Three, Fourth, Old Five, Old Six, Old Seven, each of you will lead five Eternal Realm Cultivators and ten Eternal Realm Practitioners to seize five empires in the Yongning Continent and use them as our bases."
Scarface began announcing the action plan, and the venue fell silent. Excitement was evident on their faces. They could finally leave Underwater City.
For five thousand years, they had lived in Underwater City, always hoping for a chance to emerge onto the surface and indulge themselves. Now that opportunity had finally arrived; how could they not be thrilled?
Scarface continued: "To ensure that our plan is foolproof, we can utilize underwater forces. The aquatic tribes will cooperate with us. On land, we have already reached an agreement with Azure Peak Sect, Azure Dragon Sect, and Nanyue Sect; they will also assist us in our actions. Old Three, Fourth, Old Five, Old Six, Old Seven, after you go out, you must each recruit a gang as our land base."
At this moment, the White-Browed Elder spoke up: "Just now, Old Two announced the first step of the action plan. Once those five establish their bases, we will all mobilize and start from where the Yongning Continent borders Nanyue Continent. Then we will advance eastward and sweep across the entire Yongning Continent; Old Three and their group will be the vanguard of this operation."
Scarface added: "We will provide detailed information regarding the specific timing and requirements for this five-thousand-year action plan. This plan has been refined through nearly a thousand years of deliberation and has finally been confirmed. Therefore, as long as everyone strictly follows the plan, you will surely complete your respective missions successfully."
The White-Browed Elder supplemented: "Everyone remember, our target is not just the Yongning Continent; it is merely the first stop of our five-thousand-year action plan."
Scarface concluded: "Everyone remember that our leader is Big Brother Ben Chou. All action plans must comply with his unified deployment. Actions must be swift and decisive; Old Three, Fourth, Old Five, Old Six, Old Seven, your actions must strike like lightning to catch them off guard. Let us set a good precedent for our future operations."
Futian Shangren and Lan Xuelei stood inside a small invisible formation, listening to all the discussions until everyone left excitedly to celebrate. Only then did they return to the riverbank along the same path.
After hearing their words, Lan Xuelei was completely certain that these people were the original culprits behind Millennium's Last Love!
Their goal in using Millennium's Last Love was to lure women willingly into the water for their amusement.
They were a group of heartbroken and deranged villains.
They were the common enemy of humanity.
Lan Xuelei's heart was filled with hatred. She wanted to report back to Angered Heaven immediately, hoping to capture them all at once! However, the fact that there were ten Little Ancestor Saints underwater left her feeling helpless, and she began to worry anxiously.
Her only hope was to see how Master Angered Heaven would decide.
Without any hesitation, Lan Xuelei immediately rushed back to Dragon Lake Academy with Futian and all the Disciples.
Upon returning to the academy, Lan Xuelei quickly found Angered Heaven and reported their discovery of the Tomb Master's successor beneath the river, revealing their five-thousand-year plan as well.
At first, Angered Heaven did not pay much attention, but when he heard that Lan Xuelei and the others had infiltrated the underground palace and successfully listened in on their meeting, his expression gradually became serious!
When Lan Xuelei mentioned that they had ten Little Ancestor Saints, Angered Heaven's face turned extremely grave.
