"Let's go! They'll be catching up soon!"
Wang Chong whispered as he looked away from the sixth-generation successor and charged forward.
The man with the three-eyed deer mask had complete control of the situation. Although Wang Chong had used the third bamboo hat man to hold down the sixth-generation successor, he would charge in as soon as he had a chance.
Both sides seemed to view Wang Chong as enemies, and once he was caught, Wang Chong would be doomed in his current condition. His only chance was to charge forward and use this chance to put some distance between him and the man with the three-eyed deer mask and the sixth-generation successor, buying himself a chance to catch his breath.
The best result was to find the Origin Immortal Art as quickly as possible and leave this place.
The winds howled around him, and he could only see thick smoke surging in from all directions.
As he charged forward, Wang Chong began to sense that something was wrong.
The cavern in front of him seemed to be completely different from the other caverns. The ground beneath his feet was not rough rocks, but solid tiles.
The walls on both sides of the passageway were not ordinary either. They were made of solid metal. Not only that, amidst the thick smoke, Wang Chong could even smell … the faint scent of sandalwood!
And Jili Laozu, who had charged into the cave with Wang Chong, had disappeared. Wang Chong had sent out his Psychic Energy, but he had not been able to find him.
Can't worry about it! I have to find a way out as quickly as possible!
Wang Chong said to himself as he focused his attention on what was in front of him.
At this moment, countless thoughts flitted through his mind. The sturdy metal walls, the roiling smoke, and the sandalwood fragrance made Wang Chong vaguely think of something.
A few moments later, Wang Chong confirmed his conjecture.
Buzz!
Wang Chong followed the passage for several thousand meters, and at the end of the passage, in front of a long set of bronze steps, Wang Chong suddenly stopped.
Underground palace!
Wang Chong looked at the huge space that suddenly appeared in front of him, and a thought flashed through his mind.
This was a massive ancient palace, and within the palace stood a massive mountain cauldron of the Han Dynasty. Wisps of smoke were rising from these cauldrons, and the sandalwood fragrance that Wang Chong had smelled had come from these cauldrons.
In the middle of the hall and on another flight of stairs, there was a huge coiling dragon pillar.
These coiling dragon pillars were not carved from cedar wood, but cast from fine copper.
"What is this place?"
Wang Chong muttered to himself. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Wang Chong, who was used to the complicated network of caves deep underground, suddenly saw a huge underground palace that seemed to have been sealed by history. It gave Wang Chong an indescribable feeling of weirdness.
Moreover, the palace in front of him was empty, not a single person could be seen. But the more this was the case, the more Wang Chong did not dare to be careless.
Wang Chong remembered Jili Laozu saying that the Origin Immortal Lord had six successors.
The safer this place was, the more Wang Chong did not dare to let down his guard.
Buzz!
As he was taking stock of the empty palace, Wang Chong grimaced. A moment later, he felt an intense pain in his dantian.
It's acting up again, and it's happening faster and faster! If this continues, if I don't find the Origin Immortal Art and neutralize the Stellar Energy in my body, I'll quickly suffer a cultivation defect.
Wang Chong stood there, his hand clutching his dantian as his body trembled. A look of extreme pain appeared on Wang Chong's handsome face.
Beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. At this moment, Wang Chong felt like a hand had reached into his body and was pulling at his meridians. The pain was unimaginable.
Wang Chong closed his eyes and slowly circulated the Stellar Energy in his body, slowly smoothing out the strands of Stellar Energy that had diverged from his body.
After some time, the Stellar Energy in his body finally began to calm down, and the heart-wrenching pain began to fade.
I have to get out of here as quickly as possible. No matter what, I have to find the Origin Immortal Art!
Wang Chong raised his head and said to himself.
Tap tap tap!
At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air came from behind, accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps.
"Hurry! Don't let that brat get away! "
"No matter what, we have to find him!"
"What a crafty Son of Destruction!"
… …
The sound of something tearing through the air was mixed with indignant voices. It was the men in black.
Wang Chong's expression flickered as he recognized what was going on.
The sixth-generation successor had been so powerful that not even the Four Ends Martial Lord had been able to take a single palm, but he hadn't been able to stop these men in black.
Wang Chong's strength was extremely weak, and if he encountered them now, he would be doomed.
With no time to think, Wang Chong took in a deep breath, his expression determined, and began to advance toward the underground palace.
Plush! Wang Chong leaped forward, crossing thirty zhang in a single step, and entered the plaza.
Smoke filled the air, and the fragrance of sandalwood grew even stronger.
Kacha!
As Wang Chong's foot touched the cold stone floor of the underground palace, he heard a faint cracking sound. Wang Chong's heart froze, and he suddenly stopped.
But even so, the sound of porcelain cracking did not stop. On the contrary, it only increased in frequency.
"Buzz!"
Wang Chong grimaced and raised his head to look in the direction of the sound.
Across from Wang Chong, on the other side of the palace, was a bronze pillar more than one zhang tall, so thick that it would take two men to wrap their arms around it, upon which stood a statue.
The surface of the statue was grayish-brown, and Wang Chong had thought it was just an ordinary statue, so he hadn't paid it much attention. But now, it seemed that it was far more than just a statue.
Crack! Crack! More and more cracks appeared on the surface of the statue, and in less than a breath's time, the porcelain on the surface of the statue exploded, revealing a pale figure.
This person was also wearing an ancient robe, and he exuded a strong Han style from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He also exuded an aura of death.
The fifth-generation successor!
A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind as he instinctively recalled the sixth-generation successor he had encountered before.
Both of their auras were exactly the same, but the one in front of him seemed to be even more ancient than the other.
Buzz!
The fifth-generation successor on the pillar suddenly opened his eyes, which were also empty and lifeless. The moment he opened his eyes, Wang Chong suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
This sense of danger was like a mountain crashing down on him, suffocating him.
Almost at the same time, weng! An astonishing change occurred on the Refined Copper Pillar. A massive aura that made people tremble, one that was even more powerful and terrifying than the 6th generation successor's, exploded out from the figure's body like a storm, covering the entire hall.
The hall seemed to flicker with light, and even the world seemed to change color.
Run!
Wang Chong instantly smelled the thick scent of death. The six successors of the Origin Immortal Art were each stronger than the last. Given the power displayed by the fifth-generation successor, a single palm from him would be enough to kill him for all eternity.
At the same time, the clamor behind him was getting closer and closer. It seemed like other men in black had intruded as well.
A few moments later, these people were getting closer and closer.
The fifth-generation successor was rapidly awakening, and the men in black were getting closer and closer. The atmosphere was so tense that even the air seemed to have stopped flowing. Wang Chong could even hear the thumping of his own heart in his chest.
In just a few moments, the bamboo hat men and their subordinates would arrive, and the fifth-generation successor would lock onto him. At that point, death would be the only thing awaiting him.
Wang Chong's heart was thumping, and he could clearly hear the ticking of time. Every moment seemed to proclaim that Wang Chong was one step closer to death.
Wang Chong did his utmost to maintain his composure, his mind rapidly working, but the cold sweat beading on his forehead explained everything.
Time seemed to stop, and the atmosphere grew tenser and tenser.
"Young Master Wang, over here!"
In the blink of an eye, just as the situation reached its most critical point, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Over here! Hurry and come over here!"
This anxious voice had come from somewhere not far behind Wang Chong.
"Buzz!"
To Wang Chong's right, the nearby Boshan Cauldron suddenly trembled and moved to the right, revealing a circular hole.
The cave was pitch-black, making it impossible to see anything, but Wang Chong could see a familiar arm waving at him from within the cave.
"Jili Laozu!"
Wang Chong found it difficult to conceal his shock as he stared at this arm.
He and Jili Laozu had charged into the cauldron at the same time. He had entered the cauldron even faster than Jili Laozu, but for some reason, Jili Laozu, who had vanished behind him, had gotten ahead of him and appeared in such a strange place.
"Hurry! He can't have gotten far! "
A roar came from behind him, the voices of the men in black.
With no time to think, Wang Chong leaped into the hole beneath the Boshan Cauldron.
The moment he entered, he waved his right hand, causing the massive and heavy Boshan Cauldron to move over and cover the hole.
"Don't move!"
Jili Laozu's grave voice rang out in the darkness.
Wang Chong said nothing, and he and Jili Laozu stopped at the same time, sealing off all the pores on their bodies and concealing their energy to the extreme.
The two of them were still within the range of the fifth-generation successor's protection. They were in the tunnels beneath the Boshan Cauldron, so they could not escape the danger of the fifth-generation successor.
But a moment later, Wang Chong understood Jili Laozu's intentions.
Following a flurry of footsteps, a light flashed at the entrance of the underground palace, and a group of figures quickly rushed in. The leader was the bamboo hat man who had exchanged blows with Wang Chong.
Behind him were half – Lu Wus and Black Flame Asuras in black, all of them clustered around him.
The group walked out of the cauldron and landed on the steps. When they looked up, they immediately saw the awakened fifth-generation successor. That pair of lifeless eyes quickly fell on the densely packed black-clothed men.
