The metal staircase was about seven to eight Zhang deep. Xiao Chen and the others descended into an underground passageway. The passageway was brighter because of the Night Illumination Pearls embedded in the ceiling.
The passageway wasn't very long. It was only about a dozen Zhang long. However, it was quite spacious and convenient for people to walk through.
At the end of the passageway was a Darksteel Door that cut off the passageway. It seemed like they had to open the Darksteel Door to enter the other side.
Xuanyuan Feihong didn't hesitate. He walked to the side of the Darksteel Door and placed his right hand on the door that didn't have any grooves or protrusions. Then, he started infusing his God Power into the door.
"It's going to be very difficult to open this door." Xiao Chen watched Xuanyuan Feihong struggle for a long time before he retracted his hand and took two steps back.
"Rumble."
The Darksteel Door suddenly let out a loud noise and rose up, revealing the scene behind the door. At the same time, a cold aura swept toward Xiao Chen and the others.
"It's so cold!" Although Xiao Chen wasn't afraid of the cold, he could feel the cold aura. There had to be something special inside. There was no need to guess. As for what it was, he would only know after entering.
When Xuanyuan Feihong saw the hopeful change in Xiao Chen's expression, he smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, there's nothing dangerous inside. You'll understand once you enter. Hehe."
"Okay, let's go in." Xiao Chen nodded and walked in first. It was as if he wasn't afraid of the dangers inside.
"You're brave." Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu exchanged looks. They could see the surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.
After entering the door, Xiao Chen scanned the interior. It was spacious inside, and there were all kinds of daily necessities. It wouldn't be a problem for a martial artist to live here for a while.
Still, there was no one in sight. However, Xiao Chen saw an open door at the end of his vision. It must be connected to another room.
Xiao Chen didn't walk around casually. Instead, he waited for Xuanyuan Feihong and the others to come in. After all, this was the Xuanyuan Family's secret underground chamber. He couldn't be too presumptuous. Sometimes, it was best to keep a low profile.
"Xiao Chen, let's go to that room," Xuanyuan Feihong called out to the motionless Xiao Chen and strode toward another room.
Xiao Chen and the yellow dog followed behind. Xuanyuan Boyu, Xuanyuan Yuxin, and Xuanyuan Bonin accompanied Xiao Chen.
"This …"
When Xiao Chen walked into the next room, he saw a scene that amazed him. It was an incomparably beautiful and magical scene.
The room did not look like a room at all. Instead, it was a natural underground cave. Furthermore, it was an underground cave covered in ice and snow.
That's right!
What appeared in front of Xiao Chen was an irregular ice cave about a hundred feet in circumference. The ground, walls, and ceiling of the cave were all covered with pure white ice.
However, the ice and snow cave was not the most attractive part of the cave. The most attractive part of the cave was the huge ice coffin that was placed in the center of the cave.
The design of the ice coffin was very simple, and it gave off a natural feeling. The coffin was transparent, and there were waves of light flowing within it. One look was enough to tell that it was not an ordinary item.
From the outside, one could see what was inside the ice coffin. There was a person lying quietly inside. To be exact, it was a white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man was tall, but he looked a little thin. His eyes were closed, as if he was in a state of deep sleep. He also looked like someone who had been missing for a long time.
Could the white-haired old man lying in the ice coffin be the Xuanyuan Family's leader, Xuanyuan Hongyun? Xiao Chen and the yellow dog looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They were surprised that such a magical ice coffin would appear here.
At that moment, the Fengsha Sword suddenly sent a telepathic message to Xiao Chen and the yellow dog, "Big Brother, Second Brother, there's an old man with unfathomable power sitting on the other side of the ice coffin. Be careful."
"Yeah, we found him," replied Xiao Chen. His and the yellow dog's senses were not weaker than the Fengsha Sword's. Naturally, they could sense that there was a person behind the ice coffin. Moreover, it was a living person.
Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu did not look at Xiao Chen and the yellow dog. After entering the ice cave, their eyes were fixed on the white-haired old man in the ice coffin. Their eyes were red and glistening with tears.
"Thud, thud, thud …" Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu slowly walked toward the ice coffin with heavy steps.
Xuanyuan Yuxin's face was already covered in tears. Together with the red-eyed Xuanyuan Bonin, they followed their respective fathers to the ice coffin.
"Plop!"
Xuanyuan Feihong and the others walked to the front and back of the ice coffin. They all knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
"Father, I'm here to see you."
"Grandfather, I'm here to see you."
At that moment, the gray-haired old man sitting cross-legged behind the ice coffin suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up and walked to the front. He glanced at the four people kneeling on the ground expressionlessly and said coldly, "Feihong, why are you kneeling?
"Feihong, why are you kneeling? Your father isn't dead yet. Don't you want him to die sooner?"
"Uh …" The expressions of Xuanyuan Feihong and the others darkened when they heard the gray-haired old man's cold and rude words. However, none of them dared to get angry. They all stood up.
Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. The gray-haired old man was their elder. They could not disrespect him.
The gray-haired old man was Xuanyuan Hongyun's cousin. He was the younger cousin, and Xuanyuan Hongyun was the older cousin. The gray-haired old man's name was Xuanyuan Guao. Just like his name, he was proud and aloof. One could even say that he was a loner.
Xuanyuan Guao rarely showed his face in the Xuanyuan Family since 30 years ago. He often stayed in the ice cave to cultivate. His cultivation technique was rather special. He needed to constantly absorb cold Qi. This ice coffin could continuously release cold Qi, which was perfect for his cultivation.
Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu were the first to bow to Xuanyuan Guao. "Greetings, uncle."
"Great-nephew greets uncle," Xuanyuan Yuxin and Xuanyuan Bonin followed their father and bowed to Xuanyuan Guao.
"Another Heavenly God expert!"
Xiao Chen and the yellow dog were slightly shocked. Although they were not sure which layer of Heavenly God Xuanyuan Guao's cultivation was, judging from his aura, he was definitely a Heavenly God.
In other words, the Xuanyuan Family actually had three Heavenly Gods. It was just that one of them was hiding and was not known by the people of the Central Prefecture. The Xuanyuan Family was indeed the strongest family in the Central Prefecture.
Whoosh!
Xuanyuan Guao didn't pay much attention to Xuanyuan Feihong and the other three. His sharp gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Chen and Big Yellow, and he coldly questioned Xuanyuan Feihong.
He questioned Xuanyuan Feihong coldly, "How could that weak young man and that dog enter such an important place? Feihong, is there something wrong with your brain? Hmm? "
"This …" Xuanyuan Feihong's expression became even uglier. He did not know how to reply to his cold and aloof uncle. Fortunately, Xiao Chen helped him out of his predicament.
