Chapter 985 – Underground Palace Mutations

Carrying the treasure that he had snatched from Murong Jileng’s hands, An Zheng slipped away like a wisp of smoke. Murong Gui’s strength could not be underestimated. In fact, she was not weaker than An Zheng. It was only because An Zheng took the initiative from the beginning, that he was in a passive position. To be honest, no matter if it was in his previous life or this life, other than the old demon Zhuge Qionglu, there was no one else who had more battle experience than An Zheng.

In his previous life, An Zheng’s actions were upright and overbearing, but in this life, he was more cunning, so his fighting techniques were more mature.

After An Zheng left, he waited for Chen Shaobai at the agreed location. This place was not far from the Peacock Palace’s encampment, so it was convenient for him to observe and protect them. Less than two hours after An Zheng returned, Chen Shaobai also returned as he gestured towards him to settle the matter.

“Our people have been arranged to contact the people from the Buddhist Sect.”

Chen Shaobai squatted down and handed over an oily paper bag to An Zheng: “I bought some suspending oven pancakes for you, kowtow quickly to express my gratitude.”

An Zheng took it and asked: “No need to thank me, I’ll let you sleep for a bit when we get back … Would you like to eat together? ”

Chen Shaobai: “Alright, do you mean to sleep or eat together? Would you like to sleep for a while and eat together? ”

An Zheng: “Scram, I’m not giving any more.”

Chen Shaobai: “You’re getting more and more shameless, I’m not giving you the time to ask.”

“You want to eat it even if I ask? “You are the one who is shameless.”

An Zheng split the sesame seed cake into two and gave it to Chen Shaobai: “Before you left, I fought a battle and shaved off all the fur of an old monster from the Mu Rong family.”

Chen Shaobai’s face was filled with shock: You ripped off his pants.

An Zheng: “Damn you...”

Chen Shaobai: “If you didn’t, then what is it called having your skin shaved?”

An Zheng: “You are talking so much, you are talking so much that you want the sky to be dead, alright?”

Chen Shaobai laughed, took out some smoked meat and placed it into the sesame seed cake, then started to eat it big mouthfuls. An Zheng looked at it until he was stupefied, and then looked down at the biscuit in his hand. “Damn you...”

Chen Shaobai laughed out loud, and took out the second paper packet filled with smoked meat and threw it at An Zheng: “I’ll see if you give me the piece of meat or not. If you don’t give it to me, I won’t give you the meat either.”

Chen Shaobai: “Oh yeah, guess who I met when I first came in? That Xuan Yue from Dragon Tiger Mountain had snatched a bunch of goods escorted by the Da Xi Golden Tomb Guard. After fighting, she left, and she had quite the style of a bandit. The Dragon Tiger Mountain was also a orthodox inheritance of the Dao Sect. “I’m fine with it.”

“We have long heard of this Xuan Yue. The people of Dragon Tiger Mountain believe that their future hope of surpassing Wu Dang Mountain lies with her.” I secretly observed that this woman’s strength is unfathomable. The most important thing is that she looks pretty. ”

An Zheng glanced at him, then looked towards the Peacock Palace: “I still haven’t shown my face even now, so Tan Shanse will definitely think of another way to lure me out. I told you to tell the Xiao Liu’er not to come in, did you tell them? ”

“Yes.”

Chen Shaobai said: “I know what you are worried about. If that bastard Tan Shanse managed to catch Xiao Liu’er and the rest, you would have no solution. Damn, I just can’t understand why there are so many restrictions. “The key is that we have friends and family we can’t leave, but that b * stard doesn’t have any. Even if he has trusted subordinates, he wouldn’t mind if we capture him.”

An Zheng acknowledged, but just as he was about to speak, a boom sounded out. He immediately stood up and saw that the Peacock Palace encampment had caved in, and the entire encampment was instantly gone. A huge crater, at least several hundred meters in diameter, appeared on the ground. Most of the 200 to 300 people that came in this time around had probably fallen along with the ground, their fates unknown.

“So f * cking vicious!”

Chen Shaobai scolded, he threw the sesame seed cake in his hand to the side: “Let’s go!”

An Zheng and him rushed towards that direction. Although they knew that this was Tan Shanse’s plan, they had no choice. Reaching the edge of the huge pit, An Zheng saw that around him, there were many cultivators crawling out. There were many rogue cultivators who didn’t dare to move around carelessly in the secret realm. They would station themselves around a large force and follow them wherever they went. At leashousand rogue cultivators were gathered around the Peacock Palace encampment.

As the ground caved in, these rogue cultivators weren’t able to escape. An Zheng and Chen Shaobai slid down the huge pit, and instantly felt that the surrounding aura was not right.

“Very sinister.”

Chen Shaobai glanced at An Zheng: “Be extra careful.”

The two of them slipped to the bottom of the pit and discovered that it was actually a underground palace. Due to the collapse, a few buildings in the underground palace had already been smashed into smithereens. Many people were buried, An Zheng and Chen Shaobai saved quite a few people along the way, and then they jumped onto the roof of a great hall in the underground palace. Most of the roof had been smashed through, and the beams could be seen inside. There were very few people from Peacock Palace around, obviously they had already entered.

“These people are really ambitious.”

Chen Shaobai saw that there was a Peacock Palace girl in the distance who had been pushed down by a beam. After rescuing the girl Ni, he asked Duke Ming where he had gone to. The girl Ni pointed to the depths of the underground palace with a dying breath: “After the surface collapsed, quite a few monsters pounced out from the underground palace to hurt people. Duke Ming brought his disciple to chase after them.”

“Idiot!”

Chen Shaobai scolded as he took ouill and stuffed it into the girl’s mouth. “Find a way to hide it.”

An Zheng had already gone down first, the two of them rushing forward one after the other. Not long after the two of them left, a black shadow pounced on the girl.

The two of them ran in a distance of thirty to fifty meters and saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground. They were both rogue cultivators. The wounds on their bodies were extremely miserable. Their fatal wounds were all on their necks, and they had all been bitten to death by something. There were still bloodstains on the wall, and the marks of the beast’s claws were especially clear. These people were already dead, so it was impossible for them to ask any questions.

The two could only continue forward. After exiting the great hall, they left behind an empty space, which was extremely flat. There were more than ten statues on the ground, and a few of them had already collapsed and were in pieces. These statues were all very abstract, and it was impossible to tell what they were trying to express. They seemed neither human nor demonic beast. Walking to the center of the square, there was another statue. It was bigger and stranger. This was because the sculpture was only an eye, and the carving was extremely realistic. Even the veins and arteries behind the eyes were carved out, as if they were being dug out alive from the eye sockets. It was creepy.

Below the statue, there were many corpses, and among them were three or four Peacock Palace girls. The scariest part was that these girls’ clothes had obviously been torn roughly by someone, lying on the ground in a large letters, clearly showing that they had been humiliated after death. He had no idea how perverted this thing was, to actually do suching that would anger both man and god.

An Zheng and the rest followed the trail of blood and continued to chase. Only then did they leave, did the gigantic sculpture turn around, and looked towards the direction where An Zheng and the others had gone. The pupil of the eyeball contracted and a stream of blood slowly flowed out.

As for the corpses of the maidens on the ground, their stomachs began to move.

After leaving the plaza, he carefully explored the path forward. In front of him was a very wide corridor, and on both sides were strange sculptures, giving off an eerie feeling. All along the way, there were countless corpses. After losing so many people, he still had no idea what the Peacock King was thinking.

All the bodies of the girls he had met along the way had been violated, some of their clothes had been taken off, and there were even marks of grabs on their chests. There was blood all over the place. Only the clothes on the lower half of his body were torn apart, and there were traces of him having bitten teeth on his body.

Beyond that was a mountain. The passageway led straight into the mountain. The cave was obviously man-made and was very complete. An Zheng and Chen Shaobai looked at each other and entered the cave one after the other. The cave was dark, and the smell of blood was growing stronger. An Zheng threw out a few beads in front of him. Under the pale white light, the corpse on the ground looked even more sinister.

As one person leaned on the cave wall to catch his breath, An Zheng and Chen Shaobai immediately went over. It was a forty-something year old cultivator. One of his eyes had been ripped out of its socket, but it had not been torn off. The eyeball was hanging on his face, causing people to be afraid to look at it directly. When he saw An Zheng and Chen Shaobai coming over, his excited throat let out “ka ka” sounds. An Zheng realized that something had bitten his neck.

The man could not make a sound. He struggled to lift his hand and pointed into the cave, then pointed at himself, waving his finger back and forth.

“You can’t enter?”

Chen Shaobai asked tentatively.

That person’s remaining eye suddenly widened. It was clear that that wasn’t what he meant, but he didn’t have the chance to ask that question anymore. His body suddenly trembled and he died just like that. The hand drooped, and at the last moment it wrotuman word on the ground in blood.

“What does he mean?”

Chen Shaobai looked at An Zheng, and An Zheng shook his head.

Just then, dozens of cultivators walked in timidly. When they saw An Zheng and the others, they shouted out.

“All of you, go back!”

An Zheng stood up and said: “It’s too dangerous inside, with your strength, you won’t be able to survive.”

A person hid behind the crowd and shouted, “Why can’t you enter? We are all people of the martial arts world, who doesn’t know that danger and opportunity coexist together. If we were afraid of danger, we wouldn’t have to enter the immortal palace. The more dangerous the place, the more treasures there will be. ”

Chen Shaobai tugged at An Zheng: “Stop trying to persuade me, I can’t.”

An Zheng shook his head and sighed, he and Chen Shaobai continued to walk forward, and when they heard the strange sound behind them, they turned back to find that they were searching for something on the corpse’s body. Chen Shaobai was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. An Zheng shook his head and the two of them sped up and rushed in. When they saw An Zheng and the other two running in, they also ran in, but they did not dare to get too close to them.

After walking in foundred meters, they had not even reached the end of the cave when the three girls rushed out with pale faces and frightened expressions. One of them was someone An Zheng recognized, the one Xu Meidai had sent to find him before, the one who told him to never go near the Peacock Palace.

The moment they saw An Zheng, they immediately became excited, “Quick, quickly go in and help save Duke Ming. Duke Ming is in danger.”

An Zheng saw that there was a line of blood on the chest of Chang Ye, indicating that his injuries were not light. Her face was pale and his eyes were glazed, as if he had been frightened. The other two girls were the same, their faces as white as paper, bloodless.

When the cultivators behind saw that someone had come out, they all came over to take a look.

“If someone is able to escape, then it means that he is safe.”

“Right, everyone, don’t be afraid. We have more people.”

They discussed animatedly, but did not dare to go in first.

“What’s going on inside?”

Chang Yan shook his head, “There’s no time to waste. Come with us to save Duke Ming.”

“Let’s help her!”

Someone ran over to support the others. “You guys walk in front. We’ll protect the three of them. Let’s go!”

An Zheng glanced at Chen Shaobai with worry in his eyes.
