East Emperor - C140
Seeing the pitch-black entrance, Lu Feng ordered the Spiritual Sense to extend downwards. She wanted to first investigate the specific situation inside, but discovered that there seemed to be a layer of obstruction, making it impossible for the Spiritual Sense to enter.
“Yue’er, it seems that the exploration of the cave is prohibited for Spiritual Sense. Looks like you need to personally enter to see what’s inside.
How about this, you wait with Iron Arms Senior for a while, I’ll go in to take a look, and when there’s no more danger, you guys can come down.
Since Lu Feng had said this, it was for Xu Yeyue’s safety’s sake from the bottom of her heart. She did not want her to take the risk so easily.
Xu Yeyue grabbed Lu Feng’s arm, and firmly shook her head, she did not say a word, but his meaning was clear, whether she was dead or alive, they would face it together.
Seeing Xu Yeyue’s stubborn but firm expression, as well as the deep love within, Lu Feng’s heart softened, “Alright, Yue’er, let’s attack and retreat together!”
With that, Lu Feng grabbed Xu Yeyue and jumped into the pitch black hole.
and Xu Yeyue felt as if their bodies had passed through a thin layer of film as they quickly descended.
Feeling the whistling wind, Lu Feng pointed out, “Illumination technique!”
A ball of light appeared at Lu Feng’s feet. Maintaining the same speed as Lu Feng and the others, it quickly fell.
Under the light ball’s illumination, Lu Feng and the others spent about half an incense’s time to vaguely see the bottom of the hole.
Lu Feng’s arms tightened around Xu Yeyue’s shoulders as she gathered the True Yuan. Slowly, she started descending at a lower speed.
When Lu Feng landed on the ground again, the ball formed by the Illumination Technique had already landed on Lu Feng’s shoulder, illuminating the bottom of the hole.
Releasing her arms around Xu Yeyue, Lu Feng looked around.
Based on the speed at which they were traveling and the time of their descent, Lu Feng roughly estimated that they were several tens of kilometers deep underground.
This was an enormous space. Under the illumination from the illumination spell, the two of them were unable to discover the existence of the ceiling, and could only vaguely see a few hundred feet away.
Lu Feng tried to move the Spiritual Sense and discovered that although the Spiritual Sense could still extend outwards, it was a lot more strenuous than before. Its distance was also only three hundred meters, which was far from what it could normally be compared to.
“Aiya! I forgot to ask Iron Arms Senior to come down with me. ”
Xu Yeyue suddenly exclaimed.
“Master, you’re only thinking of me now, Old Tie. I’m really sad!”
A voice filled with hidden bitterness came from behind the two of them.
“Ah, Iron Arms Senior, you came down with me?”
Xu Yeyue turned around, and looked at Iron-armed Devilish Ape with a bit of pleasant surprise. Because she had been careless just now, she was also a bit embarrassed as she reached out her hand to cover her small mouth.
Looking at Xu Yeyue’s cute appearance, Iron-armed Devilish Ape shook his head speechlessly, and said: “Master, since I, Old Tie, have followed you, then naturally I will follow you wherever you go. How can I watch you enter this unforeseen and auspicious place, while I myself am up there waiting to watch the show?”
That’s right, Master, that Wood Spirit Pearl of yours can hold living things right?
Why don’t you put me in there for now and call me out when you’re in danger, and help you face the enemy.
Master, what do you think? ”
Xu Yeyue thought that this was true. After all, the Iron-armed Devilish Ape was his magic pet and not restricted by the Wood Spirit Pearl.
As for Iron-armed Devilish Ape, the two of them were young, so when they saw it as a light bulb, they couldn’t help but feel annoyed themselves. That was why they suggested to avoid it.
At that moment, Xu Yeyue used her own Spiritual Sense s to wrap around Iron-armed Devilish Ape’s entire body, and sent him into the space within the Wood Spirit Pearl, telling him to take care of the spirit medicines and the various fruit trees if she had nothing better to do.
With regards to Xu Yeyue’s orders, Iron-armed Devilish Ape was still very willing to accept them. Of course, as a monkey, it was hard to avoid sneaking a bite to eat something good.
After settling down the Iron-armed Devilish Ape, Lu Feng took out the Crimson Nimbus Sword. Xu Yeyue then carried her two Heaven Stage Spirit Artifact s and continued to walk forward.
Due to the Spiritual Sense being suppressed, the two of them did not dare to move too quickly. No one knew how much danger was hidden in such a large space.
It was almost the time for a cup of tea. As the light from the illumination technique reached the end of the tunnel, they could vaguely see a tall black figure standing there.
Both of them were secretly delighted. They could not help but quicken their steps and quickly walked forward.
As the distance between them shortened, a nine-level pagoda gradually appeared before them.
Arriving in front of the pagoda and standing above the door, the two black words “General’s Tomb” appeared before them.
“Lu Feng, this seems to be a general’s burial ground!”
Seeing those three words, Xu Yeyue couldn’t help but ask Lu Feng in a low voice.
Lu Feng nodded and turned her gaze to the stone monument beside the tower’s door.
Xu Yeyue looked at the stone tablet and saw that it was filled with the heads of small birds.
Before arriving at the stone tablet, Xu Yeyue earnestly looked at the contents recorded on it.
A moment later, Xu Yeyue turned around and said to Lu Feng: “Lu Feng, this is indeed the burial ground of an ancient general.
According to the records on the stone tablet, this general was named Sikong Caizhi, and was approximately a Supreme Elder from three thousand years ago.
That day, General Sikong led a team to fight off the invasion of a neighbouring nation, which was also known as Vermillion Bird Empire. However, he was ambushed by the enemy.
At that time, General Sikong was severely injured. He knew that he would be here soon, so he took out his treasure, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, and turned it into the nine-floor pagoda in front of him.
After his death, his subordinates had never left him. They had always been there to protect him, and it was also them who moved this pagoda to the depths of the earth.
In the end, after his subordinates finished arranging this place, they used a secret technique to turn themselves into something similar to zombies. They were spread out within the tower, protecting General Sikong’s Heroic Spirit.
Lu Feng, do we need to explore such a tomb? ”
With regards to the General Sikong Caizhi that Xu Yeyue mentioned, when Lu Feng had previously flipped through a large amount of historical books in the library, she had indeed seen him. She said that he led her troops to meet the Vermillion Bird Empire armies, and in the end, they were defeated in battle, and even their armies were completely annihilated.
“Yue Er, what do you mean?”
Hearing Xu Yeyue’s question, Lu Feng directly handed the decision over to her.
One had to know that Xu Yeyue was the daughter of the current Master of Heavenly Star City, she could be considered an official army of the empire.
