Chapter 345: 343, we saved the people.
The Divine Profound Upper Realm, as expected.
At the same time, Wenping walked continuously deeper along the path of the underground palace. Along the way, he saw many stone chambers, each containing heaps of white skeletons, piled into a small mountain. It didn’t appear as if the people locked here starved to death; rather, it looked more like a mass grave.
After walking forward for about a hundred meters, Wenping saw a gigantic stone cave.
The surrounding of the stone cave was empty, with only a few black stone sculptures squatting on the rock walls. They were winged figures that resembled demons from hell, but they weren’t as terrifying as demons, more like fallen angels.
"Uncle!"
Suddenly, Wenping saw Huan Cheng and Biyue Piaoling trapped on the stone pillar in the center of the cave.
At this moment, both of their bodies were in a terrible state, whip marks were evident all over, and flesh was visible where the whip had lashed. Even the Purity Body was beaten to such a state, so one can imagine how much pain they had to endure.
"Wenping... you shouldn’t have come." Huan Cheng sighed as he saw Wenping walking towards him. Where was this? The sect headquarters of the Mitian Sect, essentially a wolf’s den, entering here was akin to seeking death.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a sound came from the stone wall, as if something was drilling its way out, sending chills down one’s spine. Coupled with the dim lights around, the surrounding scene was exceedingly eerie.
"Wenping, save Huan Cheng first." Biyue Piaoling hurriedly spoke, while nervously watching the surroundings.
But Wenping merely replied indifferently, "Playing tricks!"
The Evil Spirit Knight was indeed a true hellish demon.
It could contend with Satan, a big boss.
What could be more terrifying than it?
"Kill all that are hostile!" Wenping commanded, and the Evil Spirit Knight started to swing its chain. After a few spins, it suddenly turned crimson and then swept towards the silhouette darting from the stone wall.
Bang!
The black shadow was directly ensnared by the chain.
However, with a yank, the entire body suddenly turned into fragments of black char.
Yet, the surrounding black shadows increased, seemingly endless, because no matter how the Evil Spirit Knight killed, they would still appear. It was like some kind of man-eating ants swarming to hunt their prey.
Just as Wenping used the Long Yue Sword to cut the iron chains binding Huan Cheng and Biyue Piaoling, the place where they originally came in also resounded with noise. In an instant, a stone door fell, blocking the way back.
Following this, a dark wave pressed forward.
It had a momentum that seemed to swallow everyone inside the stone cave.
"What do we do now?" Biyue Piaoling, devoid of any strength, spoke.
...
Lueyue Mountain.
A vast aura surged toward Lueyue Mountain.
"Sect Leader!"
The appearance of Xu Mitian made all those still worried about the Hunter Leader Grand Elder show smiles.
The Sect Leader’s power was far above the Hunter Leader Grand Elder!
With two against one, Ji Liangping was doomed to lose.
Xu Mitian ignored the people of the sect and instead went to the front of the great hall. He glanced at the scarred and beaten-down Hunter Leader at the hands of Ji Liangping and a trace of anger flashed across his face. He then spoke coldly, "Ji Liangping, dare you take one slash from me, the same move you used to turn defeat into victory recently."
"Sect Leader..." The Hunter Leader, seeing Xu Mitian, looked as if he saw hope. He backed towards Xu Mitian as he countered, "Sect Leader, Ji Liangping colludes with the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect."
He might not be able to contend with Ji Liangping now, but Ji Liangping couldn’t kill him either.
Seeing the actions of the Hunter Leader, Ji Liangping simply smiled and continued suppressing the Hunter Leader, "Xu Mitian, you’ve finally appeared. Make your move quickly, don’t wait for Sect Leader Wen to come out, or you’ll have no chance."
"Sect Leader Wen?" He thought Ji Liangping was ridiculous. A dean of a Three-star Influence, yet he wanted to associate with a Starless Sect, "That kid is never coming out, I’ve already released the Forbidden Land Killing Artifact. That endless swarm of insects is enough to drown a Divine Profound Upper Realm, let alone him? At this moment, not even those behind him can rush in to save him, just like your father died back then, have you forgotten?"
"No need to provoke me, you’re using despicable means, while today I openly attack your Mitian Sect... Oh, you really think Sect Leader Wen went in alone?" Ji Liangping smiled.
He was aware of the forbidden grounds of the underground palace, and what was inside even more so.
Although his father died in there, devoured by the special Demon Race bred inside, he knew Wenping would never die so easily in there and would definitely come out safely.
The biggest mistake of the Mitian Sect was having too much confidence in themselves if they knew how to self-reflect, they wouldn’t have foolishly detained hostages and even presumptuously set up a trap.
Aboard the Flying Ship, everyone surveyed the surroundings.
"Where’s Ha Ha?"
"Didn’t he stay with the Sect Leader?"
Boom!
A huge explosion echoed from the underground palace. The entire underground palace exploded from inside out as if it were a firecracker. Following that, flames spewed out, and even black monsters could be seen in the flames.
But those monsters were directly incinerated to ashes as soon as they touched the Punishment Flames.
When Wenping and his party walked out, Lueyue Mountain collapsed entirely, then it was as if a giant hand tore Lueyue Mountain apart, with half of it turning directly into ruins at the foot of the mountain.
In the ruins, remnants of a sub-palace were visible.
Wenping walked slowly, not looking back at the scene, "Punishment Flames destroy all evil, and yet you release man-eating demons, seeking your own death, aren’t you?" However, Xu Mitian did not hear his words.
"Still laughing?" Ji Liangping immediately showed a mocking expression to the two people, didn’t they know that in this world anything is possible? For example: special demons that can hide their figures.
Now, the underground palace was collapsed.
Even the sub-palace was buried.
Aren’t you pleased!
"What fire is that?" Xu Mitian was angry, but he was more shocked at the white flames, locking his brows at once. He had never heard of a fire that could restrain the insect swarm, nor had he seen white flames.
When the flames dissipated, the expression of the Hunter Leader changed immediately, looking toward the bombed underground palace, "The aura of two Divine Profound Upper Realm... Two Divine Profound Upper Realm clearing the way, when did the underground palace have two Divine Profound Upper Realm?"
The insect swarm could indeed kill a Divine Profound Upper Realm with numbers, but the underground palace couldn’t hold two Divine Profound Upper Realm.
But Wenping went in alone, didn’t he?
How were there suddenly two more Divine Profound Upper Realm?
Aboard the Flying Ship, seeing the stunned faces of the Mitian Sect’s people, everyone burst into laughter.
Yang Lele laughed the most wildly, possibly as a senior brother should, "It’s killing me with laughter, those Mitian Sect people."
Yu Mo nodded and laughed, casually conjuring a ball of fire in his hand, "Even the most basic flames obtained from the Thousand-Layer Street possess the ability to incinerate evil, not to mention the Sect Leader’s white flames. Those pesky bugs were simply rushing to their death... The funniest part is, they actually let the Sect Leader bring in two Divine Profound Upper Realm, collapsing half the mountain directly."
While everyone laughed and joked, Huan Shan was stunned, looking below.
"Dad!"
Why was his father still captured?
"No worries, Junior Brother Huan Shan, your uncle only suffered a few flesh wounds, later the Sect Leader will give him two Life Cigars, and he’ll be bouncing around shortly." Yang Lele glanced at the already furious Huan Shan, then said, "Put away the Dragon-slaying Sword... if you act now, won’t we expose our location? Revenge is best served cold, now that their Mitian Sect’s mountain has collapsed, isn’t it satisfying enough."
Hearing this, Huan Shan sheathed his sword.
Qin Shan transformed back into a cloud eagle and flew down, preparing to fetch Huan Cheng and Biyue Piaoling back.
At this point, Ji Liangping on Lueyue Mountain spoke, "Sect Leader Wen, you go first, we’ll cover you."
Saying this, Ji Liangping smiled particularly happily.
Damn Mitian sect!
We’ve saved the people!
Even stormed their precious hall.
Until we meet again!
