After Lu Chen and Atsu walked into the passageway, they found that this passageway was different from the one behind the broken stone wall. The passageway inside was very spacious, at least twice as wide. At the same time, there were some unknown stones inlaid on both sides, emitting a white cold light, illuminating the originally dark passageway.
The light of the blood moon outside could no longer reach here. Lu Chen immediately felt that his body seemed to have become heavier, which gave him a strange feeling. Turning back to look at Atsu, who was walking beside him, he found that this black dog did not seem to be out of the ordinary.
The passageway was very long, most of it was straight ahead, but there were a few turns in the middle. The surroundings were very quiet, without the slightest sound, as if they were walking in the underground city shrouded by the blood moon.
Lu Chen remembered very clearly that the two Evil Cult demons just now walked out from here. Then, if they walked from here, would they be able to find the entrance they came in from?
He frowned slightly, carefully observing the situation around him as he walked forward without stopping.
… …
In the White Tiger District of the Immortal City, the towering ancient White Tiger statue still stood among the many buildings as usual, watching the vicissitudes of life, only it seemed to never change. In its famous pair of eyes, following the loud bang, the light flickered as it looked towards the place where the explosion occurred.
Fuyunji had lost all its face today, the casualties were heavy, and the losses were so great, it was the first time in more than ten years. At least when Xue Ying recalled the past, if she counted from the famous battle of the barren valley more than ten years ago, today's mistake in being ambushed by the Evil Cult was the most painful failure.
Since the explosion until now, her face had been very pale, and her expression had always been as cold as frost. Under that beautiful face, there seemed to be an expanding murderous aura stirring from time to time, like a ferocious beast ready to pounce and eat people at any time.
Among all the people in Fuyunji who were still alive, no one dared to say a word to Xue Ying, and no one was willing to stay beside this woman who had obviously fallen into a frenzy.
At this moment, any order she gave was like an iron law, and was immediately and decisively executed.
However, no one present, including Xue Ying herself, knew what fate awaited Xue Ying after today, or perhaps even earlier.
This was because the bald and burly Perfected Lord Tian Lan in a wide-sleeved robe was still standing at the edge of the pit, waiting silently.
Under Xue Ying's command, Fuyunji immediately sent many people to the bottom of the pit and began to dig. In the beginning, because of the explosion, the bottom of the crater was still very hot, which caused a lot of trouble for everyone. However, this temperature was very strange, just like the strange flame that suddenly ignited before. Although the power that erupted in an instant was abnormally terrifying, the temperature dropped extremely quickly.
Therefore, after a while, the soil at the bottom of the pit that was too hot to touch immediately cooled down. Although there was still some temperature, for these cultivators, it was no longer a problem.
The excavation began immediately. The first thing they did was to look for the places where the ancient ruins had been exposed. As the soil was dug up, more and more of the ancient ruins' green brick walls were revealed. However, many places were damaged. It seemed that the underground ruins had been shaken and damaged by the explosion just now. There were holes and damaged ruins everywhere.
Xue Ying's expression was cold, and she personally came down to command everyone. Her eyes were like cold lightning, but there was a faint trace of anxiety and urgency in the depths of her eyes.
None of the members of the Floating Clouds Agency were weak. Thus, they were able to quickly sweep away the dirt on the ground. However, they soon encountered quite a bit of trouble in clearing away the ruins. Many places were very sturdy and the terrain was narrow. It took a lot of effort to clear them out.
Even so, the people in Fuyunji did not give up, and all of them worked hard.
Not long after, with everyone's hard work, a corner ruin that looked like a corner of a huge ruin was revealed.
However, that was all they found. There were no tunnels, no entrances, and they did not even find a place to escape to.
The people in Fuyunji at the bottom of the pit looked at each other, while Xue Ying's face turned green. It should be known that Fuyunji had already sent people to carefully search the scene. After checking the charred corpses, they concluded that the Evil Sect Fan Tui, as well as the unknown chef, did not die here.
Then where did their corpses go?
Could it be that when the big explosion occurred, their physical bodies were directly burned into nothingness by the terrifying flames?
Even Xue Ying and the people in Fuyunji would not believe this, let alone Perfected Lord Tian Lan, who was standing at the top.
They, who had been fighting the Evil Sect for many years, instinctively knew that the two of them had escaped.
Then, the question now was, where did they escape to, and where did they escape from?
Xue Ying raised her head and looked up. Her gaze met with Perfected Lord Tian Lan, who was standing at the edge of the pit and watching them silently.
The body of the Fuyunji Hall Master, who was respected by many cultivators in Immortal City and who was feared by many Evil Sect Demons, actually trembled.
She instinctively took a deep breath, and her face looked even paler. The people around her were all looking at her because they had already searched the ruins and found nothing.
It seemed like … they had already reached a dead end, and the two Evil Sect Demons had actually disappeared.
A deathly silence permeated the bottom of the pit. Everyone seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.
It was also at this moment that a deep and deep voice suddenly came from above the pit. "Xue Ying, come here for a moment."
Xue Ying's body trembled slightly. In that instant, she seemed to have stopped breathing. The last bit of blood on her face seemed to have disappeared.
… …
Lu Chen did not know how far and how long he had walked. This passageway was longer than he had expected. But fortunately, just as he was beginning to have doubts, he finally reached the end of this passageway.
It was a round room without a door. The surroundings were all made of green stones.
He stood at the door and looked inside. He found that the room was empty. There was nothing but a three feet wide pillar in the middle that extended from the ceiling to the ground. It looked simple and heavy, as if it was supporting the roof.
He looked for a while and found nothing out of the ordinary. He then carefully walked in. Atsu also walked in behind him.
After that, Lu Chen started to search the house. In the end, he searched one round and carefully examined the place. However, he did not find any mechanism or passageway to leave this place.
That road, seemed to have really reached the end here.
Lu Chen stood where he was and frowned. A trace of doubt appeared on his face. If it really was a dead end, then where did those two Evil Sect Demons come from?
