Lord Sovereign - Chapter 101
Seeing that the figure was faster, Fei Hong snorted coldly, raised his dragon palms and struck forward. This palm strike used to have a sound of breaking through the air, and when the stranger saw this, he suddenly stopped and gave a soft dink. “Fei Hong?”
Hearing the person calling his name, Fei Hong hurriedly retracted his fist. After seeing the person’s face, Mu Shuang and Fei Hong were stunned. The person was actually Cao Wang, one of the three elders of the Sacred Sect.
“Brother. Why are you here?” Mu Shuang asked suspiciously.
Cao Wang walked over in black robe and said with a smile. “Luoyegu has always looked at the throne of the number one Sect of the Yuan Kingdom. This time they said they found precious medicinal materials. Of course, I would not be rest assured to call you here. After following you, this old man really guessed it right. The Fallen Leaf Valley had no good intentions and had killed all the people chasing Yun Zhuang. I happened to look around for the three of you, so I came here with the one surnamed Han. I didn’t expect to meet you here, and Fei Hong…”
After Cao Wang finished speaking, he glanced at Fei Hong. “Zhang Long and Fang Wei don’t know what is going on. Fei Hong, if you can get out alive, what about going back to Angong with me?”
Fei Hong shook his head. “Elder Cao is kind, since Fei Hong had left the Sacred Sect, he had no plans to go back again.”
In fact, his heart was now extremely surprised. It seemed that Cao Wang was right when they saw the dark figure before they chased the elder Han. But the problem was that Cao Wang involuntarily whispered “Huh” when he saw Fei Hong just now, which meant he had already seen clearly that he was Fei Hong at that time. When he saw that he couldn’t kill Fei Hong, elder Cao stopped his hand and called out his name, pretending to just recognize him.
More importantly, they just came into the bright place. It would be excusable if he didn’t recognize them, but it was absolutely impossible to fail to recognize Mu Shuang. In other words, Cao Wang was actually coming for Mu Shuang. If Fei Hong weren’t here, Mu Shuang would have died just now.
This elder Cao Wang was definitely not a good person.
“Brother, what should we do now?” Seeing Cao Wang’s arrival, Mu Shuang naturally regarded this senior as her backbone.
Cao Wang pondered for a moment. “I have been following Elder Han and the others, knowing their route. Let’s go in quietly now. We must get this precious medicinal material. As for Elder Han, try to kill him.”
The praying mantis caught the cicada, and the oriole was behind. Fei Hong couldn’t help sighing that the elder Cao was cruel, and another thought suddenly flashed through his heart. Was Cao Wang an accomplice of Elder Han? It was just now that he suddenly met the others who came here, would he temporarily decide to kill Elder Han and the rest from Luoyeng?
Mu Shuang was convinced of Cao Wang honesty, and immediately agreed to Cao Wang, yelled to Fei Hong, and followed Cao Wang into the darkness. Fei Hong was stunned, but decided to follow, at the very least, to ensure Mu Shuang’s safety. Although even he himself didn’t know why he wanted to protect Mu Shuang.
Under Cao Wang’s leadership, the three quickly passed through the darkness and came to a small house. Cao Wang touched the walls on all sides for a long time, and found a loose stone brick. With a gentle pull, a staircase leading to the ground appeared at his feet.
The three of them didn’t hesitate anymore and went straight on. Fei Hong was walking between the two, in case Cao Wang would suddenly act against Mu Shuang.
After a short while, the three of them walked down the stairs, and a stone gate appeared in front of them. Cao Wang took a deep breath and slowly pushed it open.
Fei Hong was now convinced that Cao Wang had been here before, or had been with the elder surnamed Han.
As soon as the stone gate opened, a huge circular stone room appeared in front of the three. The stone chamber was in the shape of a perfect circle with a diameter of about ten feet, surrounded by several stone pillars, which were as smooth as jade. The stone walls were covered with oil lamps, illuminating the whole stone room very brightly.
Just looking around, there was no one in this huge stone room. Fei Hong glanced at Cao Wang and frowned when he saw him with a look of doubt.
“Roar…”
Suddenly, a scream, like that of a beast, came from the empty stone room, which shocked the three of them.
“In the middle.” Fei Hong said softly.
Cao Wang turned around and nodded to Fei Hong, and walked towards the middle of the stone chamber.
In the middle of the stone room, at the center of the circle, there was a huge stone pillar piercing straight into the darkness above their heads, and they couldn’t see how high it was when they looked up.
The three of them walked to the stone pillar and took a closer look. This stone pillar was no different from the surrounding stone pillars. It was transparent and looked like a whole piece of jade. Fei Hong gently stretched out his hand to touch it, and the yellow bead on his chest suddenly jumped.
For a moment, Fei Hong saw that the stone pillar, with a diameter of more than ten feet in front of him, suddenly cracked slightly, revealing a narrow hole.
And just at the entrance of the cave, there was a faint voice.
The three looked at each other, but decided to go inside to find out. Cao Wang stepped in first, and Fei Hong broke off this time.
The path inside the stone pillar still led to the underground, but this time only a dozen steps had been taken, and a hidden stone gate appeared in front of the three of them.
A bright light came out through the door, and the three of them stood quietly at the door and looked inside.
