Just one day later, a large number of flying boats suddenly appeared in the sky above Lake Ding between the two provinces, and they went to the bottom of the lake to investigate.
After searching for about ten days, about eighty li below the surface, they found an underground passage that had been destroyed recently, and the front of the passage pointed even deeper.
This could not be more obvious than this.
After Zhang Yu learned of this news, he discussed with Cao Du, and then led a group of cultivators to this place. This time, Captain Ming also brought a large number of armored soldiers with him.
After entering the underground passage through the opened passage, the cultivators released their mental light, and while cleaning up the broken passage, they moved forward.
After going more than ten miles underground, they entered a relatively intact tunnel.
At this time, Captain Ming stood up and cupped his fists to Zhang Yu, and volunteered: "Zhang Xuanzheng, in the previous battles, it was you who took the lead, why don't you let me do it this time?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and nodded: "Then, Captain Ming, be careful."
Captain Ming said confidently: "Everyone, just wait for my good news." He waved his hand and led a group of armored soldiers into the depths of the passage.
Not long after, the rumbling sound of fighting came from the front, and it sounded extremely fierce.
However, the sound soon subsided.
Zhang Yu and the cultivators slowly walked forward, and saw that the ground was full of crystal jade giants with broken limbs and broken bones. He glanced at them, these people were obviously elites, and the outer armor of this generation was much sturdier and more beautiful than the Frost Continent's soldiers he saw before.
Captain Ming's breakthrough seemed to be very smooth, and they passed through more than ten li of the passage. The guards inside were obviously unprepared, and could not resist their attacks for a while.
After continuously advancing for about half a summer's time, the sound of fighting in front suddenly became fierce, and their advance was obviously blocked.
Daoist Wan Ming said: "Xuanzheng, do you need us to take action?"
Zhang Yu said indifferently: "It's fine, it's just some ordinary guards, Captain Ming is enough to deal with them."
At this moment, in an empty stone building at the bottom of the cave, an old man with a tall crown was sitting on a huge stone chair. When he received the report from his subordinates, he was still in disbelief. He had never thought that the people from the Green Sun Army would be able to find this place.
He was very angry, and hissed: "Traitor, there must be a traitor!"
When the guards heard him say this, they were both afraid and panicked, and someone asked: "Minister, what should we do?"
After the old man scolded angrily, he quickly calmed down, and said to the people below: "Understood, try to use the terrain to block the enemy, I will go ask Zhengguo, don't worry, with Zhengguo here, things won't get worse."
His calm tone made the guards feel slightly relieved, and they bowed to him, and went to make arrangements.
After they left, the old man with the tall crown passed through a tunnel behind him and quickly came to the lava covered area. He crossed the charred floating bridge and came to the huge blue crystal. He clasped his hands and said, "Zhengguo, the situation is not good. The people of the Green Sun Army have found this place and asked Zhengguo to revive the people of the Frost Continent. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them."
The tall figure in the crystal said: "Does Minister think that reviving all the people of the Frost Continent will be enough to stop the enemy?"
The old man with the tall crown was silent.
The tall figure said: "It seems that Minister does not think that we can stop them, then why bother doing such useless things?"
The old man with the tall crown said bitterly: "But if we don't do that, we have nowhere to hide."
"No, there is, there is still." The tall figure's voice softened, "Wait until I gather the Souls of all the people, absorb more Origin Thoughts, and improve my Origin Blood, then I will be able to communicate with that person …"
The old man with the tall crown's turbid eyes suddenly revealed a look of panic, and without waiting for the tall figure to finish, he suddenly got up and hurriedly ran out.
The tall figure's eyes shone brightly, and wisps of smoke-like substance drifted out from the old man's body, and then he let out a miserable scream.
After a while, his entire body fell to the ground, and the crown on his head rolled away. His body also quickly decayed like a piece of dead wood, and in the end, only a trace of a human shape remained on the ground.
The tall figure said to himself: "It's not enough, all of you come back."
In a cave not far away, it was filled with densely packed crystal jades. Every single one of them was flickering, as though they were breathing rhythmically. It was as though they were in a deep slumber.
But at this moment, these crystal jades seemed to have been summoned by something, the light inside flashing rapidly, and then bursts of smoke were pulled out from them, converging towards the tall figure.
When the smoke left, these crystal jades seemed to have been sucked out of something important, collapsing one by one, turning into powder on the ground.
Not only them, but even the guards who were resisting the invasion of the Azure Sun Empire were wailing one by one, and smoke-like substances drifted out from their bodies.
Inside the passageway, Lieutenant Ming was leading his men forward. Originally, the passageway was narrow and the guards were not afraid of death, causing him to encounter a lot of obstacles. But at this time, the Shuang Continent people fell to the ground one after another amidst miserable screams, and then lay motionless.
A soldier asked in a daze, "Captain, what's going on?"
Captain Ming tried to figure out what was going on, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. On second thought, no matter what happened, he would have to rush in anyway, so what was the point of thinking about it?
So he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, follow me!" Then he led the way forward.
His subordinate patiently told the soldiers as he ran, "If you have any questions during the battle, you just have to ask if you want to charge or not."
The soldiers nodded when they heard this.
At this moment, countless smoke gathered from all directions above the huge crystal jade, and wherever it passed, it set off a burst of turbulent wind.
The crystal jade also became more and more transparent, and the faint blue color on it gradually faded, and the tall figure inside became clearer and clearer.
Because there were no more obstacles, Captain Ming and his men were able to break in smoothly. Although there were many forks in the road, he firmly identified the direction in which the smoke was going.
Seeing that he did not give the order to disperse, the soldiers behind him followed him all the way, and after running for about half an hour, they finally entered a huge karst cave with the smoke.
The space here was vast, and thick red lava flowed everywhere. It could be said to be a huge lava lake, and the air in the surroundings was scorching hot. The things in sight seemed to have been distorted, and pieces of charred black stone floated on the surface of the lake.
And right in front of them, there stood a greyish-white crystal jade that was thirty feet tall. A thin mist of crystal fragments floated around it, and the silhouette of a person could be vaguely seen inside.
At this moment, they heard a light shattering sound, and fine lines spread out on the crystal jade. Then, piece by piece, it fell to the ground, and shattered into smaller pieces.
After all of the crystal jades had crumbled, a man with extremely beautiful and slender muscles was revealed from within.
It could be seen that this person's face was very handsome, and his hair and eyebrows were silver-white in color. His eyes were pitch-black, and he wore a thin silk robe. In his hand, he held a piece of dark blue prismatic crystal jade, and there was a layer of sparkling spiritual light on the surface of his skin.
He was very tall, and just by standing there, he was half a head taller than these armored soldiers who were about ten feet tall.
All the soldiers looked at Captain Ming, and said, "Captain, should we charge?"
"Charge!"
When Captain Ming spoke, everyone felt a blur before their eyes. They saw that he had already crossed the wide and long surface of the lake in an instant, and appeared in front of the tall and big man. Then, he sent out a punch.
Condensed and enormous power gathered on his fist, and the surrounding air seemed to be pulled by the whole thing.
The tall and big man did not dodge. His body bent forward slightly, and he actually used his forehead to receive Captain Ming's fist.
Captain Ming smashed his fist forward, but he felt that his power had entered a void. He was also very experienced and immediately knew that things were not good. As expected, almost in an instant, an equally tremendous power pushed back.
At the next moment, as a loud rumbling sound rang out, the cave rumbled, and the surrounding lava was also pushed away from the place where they were fighting by an astonishing air current.
The rumbling sound shook the entire underground space, and Zhang Yu and the group of cultivators who followed behind also felt it.
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and brilliant starlight flashed on his body, and he disappeared from where he was.
In the karst cave, all the soldiers were about to charge forward, but in the blink of an eye, they saw Captain Ming turn into a black shadow and was sent flying back with a swoosh. However, just as he was about to crash into the stone wall, he sucked in his stomach and spun a few times in the air, dispersing the power. Then, he landed steadily on the ground with a thud.
Captain Ming moved his neck left and right, and then moved his arms, and said with a grin, "It hurts a little."
The tall and big man looked at Captain Ming, and said in a pure Tianxia language, "Is the armor on your body the current profound armor of the Azure Sun Tenki-in Hall?"
Captain Ming did not reply, but grinned, and then charged forward again. This time, halfway through, he turned around, and his upper body stretched backward, while his lower body stepped towards the tall and big man.
This time, the tall and big man did not attack him. Two streaks of white light appeared in his pitch-black eyes, and then he raised the crystal jade in his hand, and waved it at him from a distance.
Lieutenant Ming was only halfway there when he felt a force obstructing him. He struggled with all his might, but with a plop, he sank into the lava. For a moment, only bubbling bubbles were left on the surface of the lava lake.
The tall and big man glanced at the other armored soldiers, and just as he was about to attack them, he felt something, and his movements paused. He looked up, and saw that above the karst cave, there was an object that was emitting a dazzling light, floating there. A cloud of blurry Qi was in the center, and on both sides were a pair of wings that were as brilliant as the Milky Way, illuminating the entire cave.
He heard the sound of slow and calm footsteps, and could not help but look over with caution. Then, he saw a young Daoist dressed in a jade-colored Daoist robe, holding a long sword, walk in. After standing in front of him, a pair of starry eyes looked at him.
