The main hall of the cold palace was very small. Because it had been abandoned for years, and the concubines who lived here had fallen out of favor. There was a gloomy chill everywhere. Ye Zhen had been here several times before, so she still had an impression of this place. However, the hall in front of her was completely different from what she had seen before.
"This place … seems a little different." Ye Zhen whispered, "It's completely different from what I've seen before."
"What's wrong?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
Ye Zhen pointed to the corner of the hall. "It's not like this. The hall is not so big. It's like a different place."
"There's a camouflage here." Mo Rongzhan said, "What you see may not be true. The aura is emanating from here."
"Camouflage?" Ye Zhen was stunned.
A glimmer of light appeared on Mo Rongzhan's fingertips. He used his spiritual power to break the array of the hall, and the whole scene changed.
"This is?" Ye Zhen was shocked. Not far from where they stood, there was a big hole. If they had just taken a few steps forward, they might have fallen into it.
They glanced forward. There was a stone staircase leading to the bottom of the hole. However, it was dark and gloomy, and they didn't know what was down there.
"I've never heard of a cellar in the cold palace." Ye Zhen said, "What will be in it?"
Mo Rongzhan held Ye Zhen's hand tightly. "Let's go down and see what it is."
Ye Zhen took out the night-luminescent pearl and let it float in the air. The bright light illuminated the road in front of them, but they could only see the long stone staircase as if the cellar was bottomless.
How could a normal cellar be dug so deep?
Mo Rongzhan looked down at Ye Zhen. If he asked her to wait for him up there, she would certainly be unwilling, so he didn't ask again. "You walk behind me."
"Okay." Ye Zhen whispered, "Be careful."
They were about to walk down the stone steps when suddenly, several people dressed in black appeared out of nowhere. Even their faces were covered with black cloth, so they couldn't see what they looked like.
"Who are you?" One of them asked in a deep voice, "Don't come near here!"
"Bloodworm people." Ye Zhen whispered. Although she couldn't see them clearly, she felt that these people should be the bloodworm people.
She had yet to find a way to deal with the Crimson Wormmen. Hence, if she were to kill them, the worms on their bodies would look for another host.
"Mm." Mo Rongzhan shielded Ye Rou behind him. "Be careful."
"There are too many of them. It takes a lot of spiritual power to control the blood worms on their bodies," Ye Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan said, "It's okay. I can handle it."
"Leave no one alive!" The black-clothed man standing at the very front ordered.
The Blood Wormmen did not give them any time to speak as they drew their swords and charged forward.
Ye Zhen took out the Sun Rider Whip and sent the Crimson Bug away.
"They seem to be more difficult to deal with than the previous blood caterpillar," Ye Zhen said to Mo Rongzhan.
"If the blood worms stay in their bodies for too long, they will become blood devils." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. However, these people in front of him were not Blood Demons yet. However, the blood worms had been in their bodies for a long time.
The black sword in his hand flashed and a powerful spiritual power shrouded them. The spiritual pressure made the Crimson Bug slow down instantly. Every step they took required all their strength. Blood flowed out of the corners of the mouths of two of them.
Mo Rongzhan's figure flashed, and a hole appeared in the neck of the Crimson Bug. Everyone fell to the ground.
So fast! Such powerful spiritual power!
Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan in surprise. She knew that he was powerful and was already the Saint Emperor of the Upper God Continent. But wasn't he restricted in the human world?
"The blood worms are all dead." Mo Rongzhan confirmed that the blood worms died after leaving their bodies. Then, he opened the enchantment.
"Your spiritual power … has recovered?" Ye Zhen asked.
Mo Rongzhan was slightly startled. "Try your spiritual power."
Ye Zhen ran her Qi Sea. Surprisingly, she no longer felt pain. Her spiritual power had recovered a lot.
"How could this be?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
"It might have something to do with this place." Mo Rongzhan pointed to the bottom of the stone steps. He lit the candlesticks on the stone steps. The long light extended to the bottom.
Ye Zhen said, "Let's go down and have a look."
They walked down the stone steps. Ye Zhen ran her Qi Sea and found that the deeper she went, the faster her Qi Sea worked.
Her cultivation was almost restored to its original level.
What the hell is inside? Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
"It's not the end yet …" Ye Zhen looked back at the top. She could no longer see the entrance. She didn't know how long they had been walking. The cave did not seem to be newly dug. It must have been dug for at least a hundred years.
Suddenly, Mo Rongzhan, who was walking in front, stopped and came over to hold Ye Zhen's hand. "We're here."
Ye Zhen looked up suddenly. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned.
"What … what is this?" Ye Zhen asked in shock. She thought that there might be someone or something hidden in this cellar. She never thought that it would be like this.
"How can there be an underground palace under the palace of Yuan Kingdom?" Ye Zhen stared at the front with wide eyes. It was clearly a palace.
The appearance of the palace was different from that of several countries in the world today. It looked more ancient and solemn, revealing a mysterious and strange atmosphere.
"This is a palace from tens of thousands of years ago." Mo Rongzhan whispered.
"The great demon beasts of the past …" Ye Zhen immediately understood what Mo Rongzhan meant. "But, how could they be here?"
Mo Rongzhan gently nodded and led Ye Zhen to the palace gate. "All traces of the ten great demon beasts in the human world have disappeared. It turns out that they did not disappear, but were hidden under the ground."
As they approached the palace, they found that it was all made of stone and wood. There were a total of two palace roofs covered with gold-plated copper tiles. If they were not underground, they would certainly look golden and majestic. They walked out of an altar. Ye Zhen had never seen such a large altar before.
"Ah Zhan …" Ye Zhen pointed to the front. There seemed to be something on the ground.
Mo Rongzhan took Ye Zhen's hand and walked past it. Under the light of the luminous pearl, they could clearly see what was on the ground.
It turned out to be a pile of bones. They were still wearing clothes, which seemed to be the clothes of the palace servants of Yuan Kingdom.
Ye Zhen remembered that Shui Miaomiao had said that Ye Wei had ordered many palace servants to be driven away. Could these be those palace servants?
"Let's go in and have a look." Mo Rongzhan whispered, making both he and Ye Zhen invisible.
The underground palace was not as big as the palace above, but the atmosphere was more dignified and mysterious. Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan slowly walked into the door, only to find that the wall lamps inside were lit, but there was not a single figure in sight.
Even if they did not see anyone, they still did not dare to relax and looked around vigilantly.
