Chapter 847 - Underground cities

Chapter 847 – Underground cities

An Zheng had always been thinking, where did Yu Wending get the courage to develop such curiosity about the underground palace? The Sacred Emperor of the Underground Palace did not hesitate to abandon Northwest at all for the sake of this person. This was sufficient to show that the secret within was so great that anyone who wanted to uncover it would die. The only reasonable explanation was that Yu Wending was extremely disappointed in Da Xi.

An Zheng was also curious, what exactly was in this underground palace. The granary, armory, and underground city were enough to shock anyone. There was no doubt that Chen Wunuo wanted to build a new Jinling in the northwest region. This wauge project that took three hundred years to complete. The soil layer of the northwest was not suitable for growing crops. On the other hand, there was an underground river, so the soil under the soil layer could be planted.

An Zheng thought that Yu Wending was crazy, he just did not think that Yu Wending would be crazy to this extent.

Because the person who came to meet with An Zheng was actually the most outstanding cultivator of the younger generation in Yuwen Clan... Yuwen Wushuang. That aloof, fairy-like girl looked as if he would never be tainted with dust. She seemed to have nothing to do with this world. He was just living in her own world. Before he left the last time in the north-west, An Zheng had also gained some understanding of Yuwen Wushuang’s background.

An Zheng had originally planned to board the warship to return to the Jinling, but because he had made an appointment with Yu Wending, he quietly left on the way there. Previously, he had instructed everyone to not disturb him while he was in closed-door training since he was injured. Therefore, he was not worried that anyone would discover him within a short period of time. When they reached the agreed upon location, Yuwen Wushuang was already there waiting.

On Mount Yuxian, the white-robed young lady stood atop a mountain peak. The mountain breeze caressed her skin as she faced off against the world.

She turned her head to look at An Zheng, and without saying a word, she turned and walked towards the northern side of Mount Pan Xian. An Zheng was also unwilling to speak, this woman is a bit troublesome … The last time he exchanged blows with her, An Zheng had already felt the terror of this woman’s body. The second time they had met, she had obviously broken through the shackles of the Lower Celestial Stage. However, in the end, it was as Yuwen Fang had said. If not for her battle with An Zheng, breaking through would not have been an easy task.

The sun on the top of the mountain was very warm, and An Zheng didn’t know how much longer he should walk, so he silently followed behind. The girl’s beautiful figure was right in front of him. From behind, he could see his slender waist being gripped tightly, and the curve of his buttocks waerfect circle. Mount Yuxian was a picturesque place, but not as beautiful as she was. However, An Zheng actually broke off a few branches due to being exposed to the sun, not wanting to see such a peerless beauty. As he walked, he made himself a straw hat to wear, and picked a leaf to blow on.

Yuwen Wushuang turned around to take a look. He discovered that there was a straw hat on top of An Zheng’s head. Then, he saw that An Zheng seemed to be about to blow a leaf between his lips, so she was curious to know what kind of song this man could make.

An Zheng remained calm and composed as he placed the leaf by his mouth and started to breathe slowly. Air flowed out from his mouth and shook the leaves … Splash, splash …

Yuwen Wushuang was startled, turned and left.

An Zheng didn’t mind this at all. All he could think about was that when he was young and Du Shoushou went to the forest to look for mushrooms or other food, Du Shoushou always liked to blow the leaves on the leaves. For such a big and tall person, blowing the leaves was actually very pleasing to the ear. An Zheng had learned it many times, but he just could not learn it. When he thought about how he had enjoyed his childhood in Fantasy City in a manner that made it difficult for him to continue living. When he thought about his current life, An Zheng felt that he had not lived two lifetimes, but three.

Until the leaves were all blown bald, An Zheng still could not produce any kind of beautiful melody. Yuwen Wushuang, who had always been hoping for him to show off, could not help but let out a light sigh, as he thought to himself that this person might not have fully matured yet.

The air in the mountain was extremely good. Although it was a bit sunburned, it was still quite refreshing to walk under such beautiful scenery. Yuwen Wushuang seemed to have already forgotten An Zheng’s existence, and continued to walk forward. An Zheng guessed that the Yuwen Clan had not stopped their exploration of the underground palace since long ago. Otherwise, how could Yuwen Wushuang be so familiar with this place? Seeing her casually walking in front of him, he knew that she had come here more than once.

An Zheng could not help but suspect that the Yuwen Clan had opened up a secret cave on the other side of the underground palace. However, something seemed to be amiss. If that was truly the case, how could they not discover the extremely tightly guarded underground palace? Although there were only eighteen thousand soldiers, the number of cultivators inside must be quite a lot.

But seeing how confident Yuwen Wushuang walked, An Zheng could not be bothered to ask, and just followed her. The two of them walked for a while, before Yuwen Wushuang stopped and looked at his surroundings.

“Arrived?”

An Zheng also looked around, but he did not see anything special.

“We … lost it.”

“Hmm?”

An Zheng looked at the Yuwen Wushuang who still remained calm and collected: “Your mentality is really good …”

Yuwen Wushuang turned his head, not wanting An Zheng to see his face red. She couldn’t find his way out. It wasn’t the first timehee encountered such an awkward situation, but this time, there was a stranger by her side. Ever since he was young, she had been living with the ancestor Yuwen, but in reality, she wasn’t the only one living. Yuwen Liuge had time to guide her cultivation, so how could he care about small matters like east, south, west and north?

All this while, Yuwen Wushuang had always been a person witoor sense of direction. Especially in this mountain, since the surroundings looked almost the same, how could he possibly remember? However, she was too used to being taciturn and didn’t want to talk much with strangers. Although it seemed like this Chen Liuxi fellow wasn’t hateful, it didn’t mean that she was willing to say anything. With regards to a man’s understanding, Yuwen Wushuang actually had three kinds. The first was someone like her father, Yu Wende, who could give up together for their family. The second was someone like Yuwen Fang, who could give up everything for her. In her eyes, both of them were terrifying. So she had always felt that men were not friendly creatures.

The third kind of recognition was when An Zheng saw her back then. Although her understanding was very vague, she was very impressed. She couldn’t explain it himself.

An Zheng looked around and started to calculate the location of Mount Pan: “The place that you guys are preparing is north of Mount Pan Xian, right?”

“Hmm?”

Yuwen Wushuang pondered for a moment, then nodded.

She wasn’t sure …

An Zheng understood this from Yuwen Wushuang’s expression. He recalled the size of the underground palace and calculated that if the Yuwen Clan wanted to avoid being discovered, they would have to travel at least one hundred Li to the north. The place where the two of them met up was about the same, and after walking for so long, it shouldn’t be too far. However, it was actually very difficult to find a cave in this mountain. Even if one searched the entire mountain with tens of thousands of people, it wouldn’t be easy to find one in a short period of time.

An Zheng carefully recalled his knowledge of the Underground Palace and confirmed that the best place for the Yuwen Clan to strike was that huge underground city. When An Zheng entered the underground palace, he entered from the south side. However, he didn’t see the shadow of the tall wall from the north, which meant that the north side was still in the process of excavation.

He crouched down and placed his palm on the ground, as the Cultivation Power slowly seeped into the ground from the center of his palm. Yuwen Wushuang curiously looked at him, but he didn’t want to speak at all.

“Let’s take a look over there.”

Not long after, An Zheng stood up and began walking towards the northwest direction. Yuwen Wushuang still did not ask why, but this time, it was her who followed An Zheng. The two of them walked forward for around ten odd minutes. An Zheng crouched down and used his palm to press his Cultivation Power into the ground. A few seconds later, he got up.

Yuwen Wushuang finally could not hold it in anymore, “Why?”

“I did.”

An Zheng casually replied with one word. If it was anyone else, they would have already flaunted their identity. After all, he was a great beauty. However, in An Zheng’s opinion, it was a very boring thing to do, and of course it was not considered a brilliant idea. Yuwen Wushuang was just a small fry to this world, that’s why she felt that it was so new and interesting.

After walking forward for another hundred steps, there was almost no difference compared to An Zheng’s predictions. There waowering tree. An Zheng immediately understood that the underground tunnel must be huge, and they could use the big tree’s huge roots to stabilize the soil layer above the secret cave.

“Oh, here it is.”

“You don’t rememberee?”

“There are trees everywhere, why do you need to remember?”

“It makes a lot of sense.”

An Zheng circled around the tree, and after a while, he found the secret passage. Yuwen Clan had a big heart, but they used a big rock to block the entrance of the cave. He pushed the stone aside, revealing a passageway behind him that could accommodate two people.

“There are some things I have to ask before I go in.”

An Zheng looked at Yuwen Wushuang: “I am not interested in what your Yuwen Clan has been planning to do for the past few years. However, if you want to take something away from the underground palace this time, you better tell me. Otherwise, I might be standing on the side of the underground palace. ”

“I don’t know.”

Yuwen Wushuang’s answer was simple and straightforward: “I was just asked to go in with you. There are people from the Yuwen Clan helping out inside, but they didn’t tell me anything else.”

“Then why don’t you come as well?”

“I don’t want to come.”

An Zheng sighed in his heart, cooperating with sucerson to explore the underground palace was not a good thing at all. He was the first to walk in, and Yuwen Wushuang followed behind him, still remaining silent. Walking along the secret passage, An Zheng calculated the number of steps he took, and after about three miles, he reached the end. A three mile underground cave. This was definitely a huge project, but the people in the underground palace did not notice at all?

An Zheng felt around for a bit on the opposite wall, but before he could find anything, a light suddenly lit up. Following that, a hand stretched out from the opposite side and pulled him in. If not for the fact that An Zheng felt that the other party was not hostile, he would have already attacked him.

After entering, An Zheng noticed that it was actually a house. The entrance was in this family’s study, and a bookshelf blocked the entrance. When the man saw An Zheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked. “Why is it just the two of you?”

Yuwen Wushuang frowned: “Are you the one in charge of supporting the team?”

“It’s me.”

The man looked at An Zheng: “My name is Yuwen Zhongming, and I am called Li Zhongming here … Actually, it wasn’t that hard to get in here. You will understand after entering that this underground city is actually its biggest weakness. This was because the commoners … “It’s no different from a walking corpse.”

He walked forward, opened the front door and pointed. “Look!”
