An unprecedented disaster erupted in the Underground Palace. Ye Feng and the others were unaware that the anti-bandit operation on the Ground had ended in a complete failure for the Trial Disciples. Those still lingering on the plains were either the corpses of disciples who had been killed by bandits or those bold enough to take risks.
Represented by Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect, Liao Fan and Wang Wei were undoubtedly part of the latter group. Having previously uncovered a hint of Blue Stream Villa's conspiracy, Liao Fan learned about the secrets hidden underground during a conversation with the Demon clan.
Initially intending to escape, he found himself reassessing the situation. Wang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "To make a Martial Saint go to such lengths at the cost of their life, it seems that the treasures underground are extraordinary!"
Liao Fan nodded and glanced at his team. To be fair, their survival until now was not without reason; it was not only due to his intelligence but also because their overall strength was exceptionally formidable.
With two at Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level, one Yae, and six at Seventh Level, such a lineup was not something just anyone could assemble!
However, under the pressure of those two Demons in the sky moments ago, they hadn't even been able to lift their heads. Now that the danger had passed, the impact of this event had already begun to ferment in their minds.
"What do you plan to do now?" Wang Wei asked, directing his question at Liao Fan.
Liao Fan smiled slightly, sensing the underlying meaning in Wang Wei's tone. "I suppose you already have an idea, right?"
As soon as he posed that rhetorical question, while he remained calm, the surrounding team members began to frown. They were not fools and could easily discern what this meant—did they not want to return? Did they want to continue adventuring?
Wang Wei, having had his thoughts exposed, did not feel embarrassed because if Liao Fan wasn't considering such things, he wouldn't have said it.
"Everyone understands now. Liao Fan, give us your word—are we going or not?"
Liao Fan's smile faded as he grew somewhat silent. In truth, this was merely an idea for him; he had not made up his mind to take action! Sensing her brother's thoughts, Liao Fang quietly said, "There's really no need for this. No matter what lies beneath Ground, we just need to follow our fate."
Before she could finish her sentence, Liao Fan replied softly, "I know what you're trying to express and that you don't want anything to happen to me. But sister, this is a rare opportunity for us. I believe that no matter how many Rogue Bandits we kill on the plains, we won't receive any rewards!"
"The conversation between those two Demons was clear enough; Lan Yuanfeng was just trying to mislead us. The so-called Elemental Crystal is just a ruse. I don't want to come here for nothing; what do you think?"
As these words left his mouth, Liao Fang shook her head, realizing her brother had made up his mind. However, this might not be a bad thing! With their brother-sister bond strong, was there any challenge they couldn't overcome?
"Good things are worth waiting for! Losing something in the east can lead to gaining something in the west. Let's set off now!" Liao Fan declared with determination.
Wang Wei smiled knowingly. With both leaders saying this, there was naturally no dissent among them. However, a disciple who was not from Taiyi Canglei timidly spoke up, "You all don't know where the entrance to the Underground Palace is. Isn't it too rash to make such a decision?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions darkened. It seemed they had just realized that this issue remained unresolved. Liao Fang couldn't help but take another look at the disciple who had spoken, and to his astonishment, he discovered that it was Fang P., the one who had almost caused trouble for everyone before. His expression turned strange.
Once reminded by this fellow, the comrades who had been energized just a moment ago suddenly looked as wilted as frostbitten eggplants, losing their spirits. However, solutions could be devised by people. Liao Fan seemed to have anticipated this point already and smiled as he said, "Do you remember the thumping sound we heard earlier?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone understood what he was getting at. But Wang Wei couldn't help but voice his doubts: "That powerful demon didn't discover anything even after stomping twice. What can we do?"
Indeed, everyone looked at Liao Fan in confusion, waiting for his further explanation.
Liao Fan quickly replied with a smile, "Actually, I sensed something. If that fellow had been a bit more patient and kicked a few more times, he would have found the entrance! However, he seemed to be in a hurry and left in a rush, which gives us an opportunity!"
"I think that based on the marks he left from kicking, if we approach it differently and dig a little deeper, we should be able to find a way in. If you don't believe me, we can try it right now!"
This statement invigorated everyone, except for Fang P., who still looked hesitant and seemed unwilling to proceed. Liao Fan pulled him aside and whispered, "If you don't want to go, you can leave now, but I need you to do me a favor!"
Caught off guard by having his thoughts exposed and feeling somewhat embarrassed, Fang P. replied, "What can I do to help you? Just say it; as long as I can do it!"
Thanks to this team, he was still alive today; it would be disingenuous not to feel grateful!
Liao Fan smiled slightly before becoming serious again. "Please go back to our Sect and inform them of what we've discovered so they can send someone over quickly for support. If we're late, it might be too late!"
It turned out he wasn't afraid of death; he was just waiting here!
Upon hearing this, Fang P. nodded solemnly. Compared to entering that mysterious and terrifying Underground Palace, going out to deliver the message felt much safer!
At this moment, Wang Wei also listened intently to their conversation and couldn't help but admire Liao Fan; at least he hadn't thought of this aspect. Liao Fang calmly added, "This time down there, we must unite and not let any links break. If anyone disagrees, they can speak up now."
"Don't start causing divisions once we get down there!"
The meaning of this statement was simple: it was a warning to Wang Wei not to get too caught up in thoughts of treasure and forget who led everyone down.
Wang Wei understood, showing a sheepish smile and quickly assuring everyone, but no one noticed the cunning expression that flashed across his face as he turned away.
Then, under Liao Fan's guidance, everyone began to dig deeply into the damaged ground. Although they didn't have many tools, their strong martial arts foundation allowed them to quickly excavate a thick layer of soil reaching fifteen meters deep!
At the bottom of the thick layer, something different was indeed discovered!
"There are stones! Formed ones! It looks like the Underground Palace is below!" an excited disciple shouted!
Liao Fan and Wang Wei exchanged glances, both recognizing the excitement in each other's eyes. However, this excitement was quickly suppressed; for them, this was only halfway through, and the main event was yet to come!
Breaking through the stone wall was far more difficult than digging through the thick soil. Even with their martial prowess, it was challenging to break through; otherwise, Huang Yao and the others would have emerged from the black hole long ago!
At this moment, the team on the ground was unaware that beneath their feet lay a Trial Team!
"Alright! There's a secret door here that leads out! Everyone get ready to go; it's very likely we'll encounter dangerous demons since this is just outside the passage to the Underground Palace!" Ye Feng shouted.
Upon hearing this, Huang Yao and the others perked up! They had already experienced life and death before; if it weren't for Ye Feng's presence, they might not have dared to come out so easily! But they had been trapped for a long time, and staying in the Underground Palace was clearly not a good option.
During this time, Cheng Ze had also comprehended the Unnamed Slash and appeared invigorated, filled with a desire to try it out! Ye Feng glanced at him and couldn't help but smile, "This is just our first stop; if we're lucky, there will be many great things waiting for us ahead!"
This statement undoubtedly acted as a stimulant, igniting the team's enthusiasm! There was nothing more motivating than the prospect of gaining greater power! A ruthless glint flashed in Huang Yao's eyes; he had to admit that in many ways, he couldn't compare to Ye Feng!
Soon, with Ye Feng's help, the secret door in the northeast corner of the chamber was opened. A gust of cold wind rushed in, dispersing much of their impulsive energy. Ye Feng squinted his eyes and began analyzing this passage according to the map in his mind.
The passage was neither too high nor too low, wide enough for four to five people to walk side by side. In terms of the environment within the Underground Palace, it was already considered spacious. Even more peculiar was that this passage seemed to stretch endlessly without any turns!
Ye Feng named this road, in accordance with the map's markings, as Underworld Road. Underworld Road has no living souls; it seems to be made for the spirits of the dead! A chilling wind blew, making one shiver. He led the way, with Zong Nan, who appeared slightly trembling behind him, quickly stepping onto Underworld Road.
It was unclear how long they had walked when Ye Feng stopped and glanced to his left and right, realizing he was now on the southwestern side of the Underground Palace's outer perimeter. Continuing forward would lead them into a maze filled with traps; it was not a path to take. If they stayed here, there would only be one way out!
"Make way! I need to break through to the path below!" Ye Feng said, looking down at his feet.
The others were astonished and could not comprehend, "Below? Is there still a path down there?"
Ye Feng did not want to reveal that he had a map in his mind, but he indeed knew that the Underground Palace was a multi-layered structure, so complex that it could be described as a work of divine craftsmanship. Beneath his feet lay a fault line connecting to a vast architectural complex below. If it weren't for the markings on the map, how would he have known?
The reason he decided to go to the architectural complex was that he felt there must be some treasures down there. At the same time, he wanted to truly experience the model of life from the ancient Titan race; this would surely be different from the virtual scenes seen in Mural World!
With various emotions swirling within him, Ye Feng took a deep breath. The Ice Spirit Soul began to exert its power, and a cold, merciless arm started to seep out from his body. This arm resembled a Divine Soul form and penetrated the ground, triggering an invisible mechanism that should have been impossible to activate!
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Ye Feng unleashing such divine abilities. Eventually, they heard a thunderous rumble followed by a cloud of dust—years of corrosion had made it both sour and foul-smelling. At the same time, what had once been a solid piece of ground completely collapsed, revealing an astonishing staircase!
In the pitch blackness, the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie!
