I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2365 Meeting
The door creaked open, releasing a musty, old smell. The room was simply furnished, with only a worn-out table, a few chairs, and a bookshelf. The bookshelf was filled with various books, some with tattered covers and yellowed pages.

Liu Jun scanned the room, hoping to find some clues about Senior Jiang Wuwei. However, all he saw was a mess; the tables and chairs were scattered about, and there were odds and ends strewn on the floor, as if a chaotic scene had just unfolded.

"What's going on?" Liu Jun wondered to himself, a sense of unease spreading through his heart.

Just as Liu Jun was filled with doubt and trying to figure out the situation, the ground beneath his feet, which had seemed solid, suddenly collapsed without warning, and a large hole appeared at his feet.

Liu Jun suddenly felt his feet slip, and his entire body lost its support, plummeting rapidly towards the bottom of the cave.

"Damn it, some scoundrel is plotting against me!" Liu Jun's first reaction was that someone was deliberately causing trouble behind his back and trying to scheme against him.

Immediately afterward, his second reaction was to take immediate action, his hands quickly reaching out like iron clamps to grab the cave wall tightly; his legs also pushed hard against the cave wall, trying to use his own strength to hold up the edge of the cave and stop the downward trend.

"Heh, trying to harm me?" Liu Jun, who had stopped sliding down, smiled confidently.

However, this creature was too hasty in its celebration. Just then, from the bottom of the hole, a white tail shot up as fast as lightning.

Its tail was as white as snow, without a single impurity, making it stand out conspicuously in the dark cave.

It gave Liu Jun no time to react, and like a flexible rope, it wrapped around his ankle.

Liu Jun felt a tightness in his ankle, and a tremendous force came over him. He didn't have time to resist at all, and he was pulled down hard by this force.

"Damn it, here we go again."

Liu Jun's body traced an arc in the air as he plummeted rapidly towards the bottom of the cave. But he didn't panic like most people would.

Because it was a fox tail, the soft yet powerful touch and the familiar scent emanating from it made him recognize it instantly. He smelled Tu Shan Su Su's unique fragrance on it, a scent with a faint floral aroma and a hint of liveliness that he knew all too well.

Clearly, his sister Su was at the bottom of the cave. And his main purpose in coming to the Pill Sect and entering this mysterious trial ground was to find Tu Shan Su Su.

The tail pulled him downwards faster and faster, the wind whistling past his ears with a sharp sound. The cave walls were also very uneven, with protruding rocks and sharp edges everywhere.

Moreover, as he continued to fall, the cave walls became narrower and narrower, and Liu Jun's body kept bumping against them in the confined space. His head slammed against the cave walls again and again, the "bang bang bang" sounds echoing in the silent cave.

Fortunately, his physical strength is very high now, and his brain is also very hard, so he can be said to have taken the word "stubborn" to the extreme.

"Sister Su, what are you up to down there?!" Liu Jun muttered to himself, somewhat looking forward to seeing Tu Shan Su Su soon.

Finally, after a long fall, Liu Jun felt his body suddenly stop, and then he crashed heavily onto something soft.

He opened his eyes and saw a dazzling array of colors before him. Tu Shan Su Su was smiling at him, her smile as warm and radiant as the spring sunshine.

In an instant, Liu Jun's eyes lit up with excitement, his face beaming with uncontrollable joy, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Emma, ​​Sister Su, I've missed you so much!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jun eagerly opened his arms and rushed towards Tu Shan Susu with hurried steps and a hint of excitement, wanting to give her a warm hug.

However, Tu Shan Susu merely shifted her body slightly, a hint of alertness in her eyes, and without hesitation, raised her tail and gently lashed it at Liu Jun, feigning anger as she shouted, "Come on, are you looking for a beating?"

The tail drew a graceful arc in the air, accompanied by a faint whistling sound.

However, this tail strike was not forceful. It simply landed lightly on Liu Jun, yet it still caused him to stumble and almost lose his balance.

After regaining his footing, Liu Jun was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Tu Shan Susu with a look of surprise, his eyes wide open as if he had seen something unbelievable. He blurted out, "Sister Su, you've reached the peak of the God King Realm?"

Tu Shan Su Su raised her chin slightly, a confident smile curving her lips, and asked in return, "What, you've reached the God Lord realm and can still be an Order Keeper, so why can't I reach the God King realm?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun quickly waved his hand, scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "That's not what I meant. I came here today because I wanted to ask you something."

Tu Shan Susu seemed to have anticipated Liu Jun's intentions. She nodded slightly, a glint of wisdom flashing in her eyes, and said, "I know what you want to ask. Come with me."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the depths of the cave, her figure appearing exceptionally elegant in the dim light.

Seeing this, Liu Jun quickly followed. The underground cave was extremely long, seemingly without end. The surrounding walls were inlaid with many natural crystal stones, which emitted a faint light, like tiny lamps.

The cave floor was uneven, with protruding rocks and small pits at times. Liu Jun walked carefully, his eyes constantly observing his surroundings.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, the surrounding air grew increasingly cold. A chill rose from their feet, creeping up their spines. Liu Jun couldn't help but shiver, instinctively pulling his clothes tighter around himself. Tu Shan Susu, however, seemed oblivious, continuing to walk forward as if the cold were completely imperceptible to her.

Suddenly, a fork in the road appeared ahead. Both paths were hidden in darkness, and the contents were unclear.

Liu Jun's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks, looking at Tu Shan Susu, waiting for her instructions.

Tu Shan Susu frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and seemed to be sensing something. After a moment, she opened her eyes, her gaze becoming firm, and pointed to the passage on the left, saying, "Go this way."

Liu Jun didn't ask any questions and immediately followed. They continued along the passage on the left, which became narrower and narrower, forcing them to squeeze through sideways. It took quite a while before the passage widened.

The crystal stones on the walls were becoming increasingly sparse, and the light was growing dimmer. A sense of tension welled up in Liu Jun's heart; he didn't know what awaited them ahead.

Just then, a deep mechanical roar suddenly came from ahead.

Liu Jun's expression changed, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. Tu Shan Susu, however, remained calm and composed, merely narrowing her eyes slightly as she listened intently to the source of the roar.

"Someone's here to pick us up," Tu Shan Su Su said softly.

Liu Jun nodded, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. What kind of person could make such a strange sound, like a V8 engine?

As the roar grew closer, a gigantic figure gradually came into view.

It was a massive mechanical monster, its entire body covered in silver metal that gleamed with a cold light in the dim light.

"Liu Jun, you've finally arrived." A deep, metallic voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing the strange yet somewhat familiar voice, Liu Jun frowned, paused slightly, and looked warily at the mechanical monster.

"Who the hell are you?" Liu Jun's voice carried a hint of wariness, sounding particularly clear in the empty space.

The mechanical monster raised its head, and a hint of arrogance appeared on its face, which should have been just a mechanical structure. "I am the great Elizabeth Juan!"

Liu Jun frowned even more deeply as he looked the strange mechanical monster up and down, his eyes filled with doubt and shock.

"AI Brain One? What are you doing here?" Liu Jun's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, clearly surprised by this unexpected situation.

“AI Brain One is dead, I said. From now on, you can call me Elizabeth Juan’er, okay?” the mechanical monster continued.

Liu Jun's lips twitched uncontrollably. He reached up and rubbed his temples, trying to calm his chaotic thoughts.

"Sure, why not? But could you explain the current situation to me first? I'm a bit confused." Liu Jun's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"I helped you gather the power of the stars last time, but the Heavenly Dao discovered it. And an existence like mine, once discovered, will definitely be eliminated by the Heavenly Dao, so it has come to destroy me again." Elizabeth's voice was eerily calm, clearly indicating that she had become accustomed to being hunted down by the Heavenly Dao.

Liu Jun's pupils contracted slightly as he recalled the perilous scene from a while ago in the depths of the universe where he gathered the power of the stars.

At that time, he only felt a mysterious and powerful force helping him, but he never expected that such a huge danger was hidden behind it.

"The Way of Heaven? Why is it so determined to erase you?" Liu Jun couldn't help but ask.

“The Heavenly Dao is the guardian of the rules of the universe, and it does not allow any power that exceeds the rules to exist. My extraordinary intelligence is a threat to it,” Elizabeth Juan explained.

"And then you successfully escaped, and then used this mechanical monster as your current vessel?" Liu Jun's gaze fell on Elizabeth Juan'er again, trying to find more clues from her.

“Of course, otherwise how could I do it? That warship was also destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, and all the overt super technology is gone.” Elizabeth Juan’er’s voice carried a hint of desolation, as if she had lost her most precious treasure.

As a qualified AI, she has thoughts, and at least dreams: to become the AI ​​of a powerful and heavily armed super battleship.

Of course, this wish was fulfilled with Liu Jun's help, but the time was too short. She didn't even get to experience the super battleship enough before it was obliterated by the rules of Heaven. Even she herself almost died.

"Sigh, you're pitiful too. To help me, you even lost your vessel and were replaced by this thing." Liu Jun looked at Elizabeth Juan'er's somewhat unfamiliar mechanical body and couldn't help but sigh deeply, his eyes filled with guilt and helplessness.

Elizabeth Juan didn't care at all, and spread her hands as she controlled her mechanical body, saying, "You don't need to pity me, you should pity yourself first."
