At the peak of Shadow Mountain.
Wutian stood on the plaza and stared at the magnificent palace in front of him. His eyes shone brightly!
The elemental energy surged. Suddenly, Wutian was stunned. The ground seemed to have been tempered by divine energy and was unable to sink into the ground.
His energy surged and he exerted force under his feet. Wutian was surprised to find that there wasn't even a crack.
Looking down at the ground beneath his feet, Wutian frowned. After a while, he looked at the palace in front of him. His eyes flashed and his figure flashed as he dashed into the palace.
Since Old Su said that Chi Yanzi was at the center of the Great Shadow Peak, there must be a secret passage in some corner.
If he used his full strength, destroying the Great Shadow Peak wouldn't be a problem. However, he was afraid of alerting Chi Yanzi and escaping from somewhere else. If that happened, all his hard work and effort would be in vain.
Hence, he had to find the secret passage silently and sneak into the ground to catch Chi Yanzi off guard.
Wutian covered the area with his spiritual will and carefully searched every inch of the ground. Finally, his gaze locked onto a corner.
There was nothing in this place and it seemed very empty. Wutian strode over and stared at it for a while. Then, he saw a stone brick. He bent down and pressed down with his hand. The originally flat ground suddenly collapsed.
"Rumble!"
Immediately, a deep rumbling sound rang out. Wutian quickly retreated a few steps and looked at the ground. He couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
The stone brick that he pressed down on slowly moved to the side. A large hole gradually appeared in his line of sight. It was dark inside and he couldn't even see his own fingers.
Staring at the secret passage, Wutian calmed his excited and restless heart. He maintained a calm attitude even if the sky collapsed. Then, he jumped down. When he entered the secret passage, the hole above him closed automatically and the last ray of light disappeared.
Standing in the secret passage, Wutian looked around. The secret passage was only ten feet high and one meter wide. It was just enough for one person to walk through. Taking a deep breath, he slowly walked forward.
The secret passage was curved and slightly slanted. There was no sound at all. Wutian's expression was calm but he was secretly on his guard. He listened carefully and observed his surroundings. He was very cautious.
This was because he realized that the secret passage was very dry and there were no traces of mold. Furthermore, he found some shallow footprints on the ground. This meant that this secret passage was often walked by people.
Da …
Other than the sound of footsteps and breathing, there was no other sound in the secret passage. In addition to the darkness, the silence was frightening.
After walking for about a hundred breaths, Wutian finally saw a faint light ahead. He stopped and took a deep breath. His feet didn't touch the ground as he slowly walked forward without making any sound.
Finally, a stone door appeared in Wutian's line of sight. There was a thumb-sized luminous pearl hanging above the stone door. The faint light sprinkled down and added a crafty atmosphere to this secret passage!
Why is there only one aura inside?
Wutian cursed in his heart and was very puzzled. From behind the stone door, he could faintly sense a faint aura. However, Shui Fengwu had clearly said that Old Su had sensed two auras. What about the other one?
Could there be some unforeseen event during this period?
Wutian would never forget Chi Yanzi's aura for the rest of his life. The aura behind the stone door obviously didn't belong to him.
After muttering to himself for a while, Wutian's expression turned cold. He pointed his finger at the stone door. With a cracking sound, the stone door was instantly annihilated. Immediately after, Wutian's figure flashed and rushed towards that aura at lightning speed!
"Who …?"
"Weng weng!"
An angry roar rang out and the Heaven Defying Domain crashed down. The sound also came to an abrupt end. Wutian looked over and saw a black-robed man staring at him with a bewildered expression.
Without saying a word, Wutian used the Soul Searching Technique. His eyes emitted a strange light. The black-robed man's expression suddenly turned sluggish and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
"So that's how it is."
Wutian suddenly understood. He waved his hand and a majestic force swept out. Before the black-robed man could regain his senses, he was crushed into pieces. Wutian then stepped forward and continued deeper into the secret passage.
From the black-robed man's memories, he knew that he wasn't the only one in this secret passage. There was a stone door at every set distance. Behind each door, there was a guard. The purpose of these guards was to protect the Dark City Lord.
Most importantly, from the black-robed man's memories, Wutian saw Chi Yanzi. Moreover, he was personally led by the Shadow Guard Commander.
This was because other than these guards, only the Shadow Guard Commander was qualified to enter this secret passage.
"It seems that I guessed wrong. There really is a Dark City Lord in the Dark City. He doesn't seem to be weak." Wutian muttered.
Not long after, he saw another stone door. Wutian used his overwhelming combat strength to break the stone door. He then used the Soul Searching Technique on the guards of this stone door. From the memories, he saw Chi Yanzi again.
He continued deeper and broke nine stone doors in a row. He also used the Soul Searching Technique on all nine guards. All of them proved that Chi Yanzi was in a secret room at the end of the secret passage with the Dark City Lord.
"Let's see where you can escape to today!"
Wutian coldly said. He couldn't help but quicken his pace. After a hundred breaths of time, a stone door that was twice the size of the previous one entered his field of vision. Without any hesitation, he punched out at the stone door!
With a loud bang, the stone door shattered, revealing a thousand foot wide stone room. In the center of the stone room, two figures sat cross-legged, their backs facing Wutian. However, there was a fiery red figure on the left. Wutian didn't need to see his face to recognize him. He was Chi Yanzi!
This sudden change alarmed the two people inside. They turned their heads at the same time. When their faces were revealed, they saw an old man in a fiery red robe. If this wasn't Chi Yanzi, who else could it be?
However, after glancing at Wutian, he turned his head to look at the other person. There was a deep doubt in his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't recognize Wutian's true body!
Beside Chi Yanzi was a black-clothed middle-aged man. His long hair draped over his shoulders and his body was thin. His eyebrows were as black as ink and his eyes were deep and distant. They were like two black holes, frightening one's soul!
This person's appearance was quite ordinary. In terms of appearance, he was the kind of person that no one would remember if he was placed in a crowd. However, he had a very special temperament. He was like a star in the galaxy. Anything that stood in front of him would appear dim and dull!
"You are …"
The black-clothed man frowned. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are you Li Feng?"
"Are you the Dark City Lord?" Wutian didn't answer. Instead, he asked a question and walked in step by step.
The black-clothed man nodded and said, "Yes, I am the Dark City Lord. I also remember your voice. You are indeed Li Feng. To be able to sneak in here without a sound, your strength is even stronger than what the Shadow Guard Commander described. However, I am very curious. How did you know I was here?"
Wutian looked at the Dark City Lord and then pointed at Chi Yanzi. He said without changing his expression, "How I know is not important. The important thing is, why is he here?"
"You know me?" Chi Yanzi was puzzled.
Wutian didn't answer. He calmly looked at the Dark City Lord.
"Haha! You are a good talent. In time, you will become a top expert in the Dark City. However, you shouldn't have come here. Because if you come, you won't be able to return alive. "The Dark City Lord smiled and avoided the topic.
"Is that so?"
Wutian said lightly. A trace of suspicion flashed in the depths of his eyes. According to the Dragon King, the Dark City Lord's strength was unparalleled. Back then, he joined forces with the Shadow Guard Commander. With just the two of them, they were able to wipe out all the descendants of Sikong Lie. One could imagine how strong he was.
Logically speaking, if he was so strong back then, his cultivation should be even higher now. However, Wutian judged from the aura exuding from this person that he was not much weaker than Jian Yi.
"I am not a child."
The Dark City Lord smiled. He didn't give Wutian a chance to think. He pointed at the air and the power of darkness gushed out from his fingertip like a waterfall. Its power was vast and majestic, causing the entire chamber to tremble!
At the same time, an aura appeared and locked onto Wutian, imprisoning him in the void!
"Swoosh!"
Just as the power of darkness was about to attack Wutian, he disappeared without warning. The next moment, he appeared on the other side of the stone chamber. The power of darkness passed through his original position and rushed out of the stone chamber. It violently bombarded the secret passage, causing a deafening rumble to resound!
However, the Dark City Lord didn't care. He only stared at Wutian, his eyes full of surprise.
In Chi Yanzi's old eyes, there was also a clear trace of suspicion.
"You made such a big fuss. Aren't you afraid that you will crush the Great Shadow Peak with a finger and expose your hiding place?" Wutian was surprised.
The Dark City Lord said lightly, "You worry too much. This Great Shadow Peak has been set up by the Old Su. As long as I don't use my full strength, no one will notice anything unusual. However, you can actually escape from my suppression. How surprising."
"Be careful, Chi Yanzi. Li Feng is Wutian!" Right at this moment, an angry roar suddenly exploded in the dark tunnel. Immediately after, Wutian immediately felt a terrifying sharpness coming straight at his back!
He didn't need to look back to know that it was the Shadow Guardian Commander!
"Wutian?"
Hearing the voice of the Shadow Guardian Commander, Chi Yanzi suddenly stood up and looked at Wutian with bright eyes. Suddenly, his expression changed and he said gloomily, "It's really you. I was wondering how could there be a second person in this world who has opened the Meridian of Heaven. So you are Wutian!"
Chi Yanzi looked at Wutian cautiously and shouted to the Dark City Lord, "Take me away!"
"You want to leave? I chased you from the Samsara Continent to the Dark City to kill you. Do you think I will give you a chance? "
With a burst of murderous intent, Wutian's hair fluttered. He waved his hand and the God-slayer immediately appeared. The power of elements surged and completely recovered in an instant. He raised his hand and slashed at Chi Yanzi!
Originally, Wutian wanted to figure out the relationship between Chi Yanzi and the Dark City Lord and the purpose of his visit. However, he didn't expect that the Shadow Guardian Commander would suddenly appear and expose his identity. This completely disrupted his plan and forced him to act in advance.
