Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 637 Li Siqi: This Chen Jiu Si is truly an enemy of the world!

Tree hole?

Chen Jie looked at the tree hole in front of him, paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Can a person get in here?"

The big gray rat immediately said, "Don't worry, it's spacious enough inside, I don't feel crowded at all."

Chen Jie looked at the big gray rat's size. To be honest, although it was considered big and fat among rats, it was still too small compared to humans.

As Chen Jie was thinking this, the big gray rat spoke up: "What's wrong with you? Don't you believe me?"

Chen Jie looked at it and said, "This, can it really work?"

The big gray rat patted the lynx's head and said, "Let's go, let's go first."

After saying that, the lynx nimbly climbed up the big tree, and then the big rat leaped into the tree hole: "Hurry up and follow, you are a distinguished guest of our immortals, we will not harm you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the big tree, then at the hole in the tree. After thinking for a moment, he jumped onto the tree and saw that the tree, which would take three people to encircle, had been completely hollowed out in the middle. At this point, one could still see the clear marks of teeth that had knocked the tree open in the middle.

Having understood all this, and looking at the hole, which was about the size of a well opening, just as he was wondering whether to jump or not, he heard a voice from inside: "What are you waiting for? Come down!"

Chen Jie thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and then jumped down. He instantly passed through the trunk of the big tree and felt himself fall more than ten meters deep. Thud! He finally landed. After his feet touched the ground, Chen Jie was slightly stunned. He felt that the space in front of him was not too narrow or too cramped. It was just that the whole space was dark.

Rats have night vision and can see clearly underground without needing lights.

However, Chen Jie was different. He reached into his storage ring and pulled out a tinderbox. He lit the tinderbox, and it lit up instantly. Chen Jie then saw that he was in front of a very spacious cave.

The entrance to the cave was indeed quite spacious. Chen Jie could move forward simply by crouching down slightly. Moreover, there was air inside the space, which made it convenient for Chen Jie to breathe.

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Just then, a voice came from afar, and Chen Jie noticed that not far ahead, the big gray rat was riding on the back of the lynx and looking at him.

Chen Jie was also surprised by the scene before him and said, "This place is really unique."

The big gray rat said, "This place leads directly to the bottom of the Heavenly Pool. At the end, you'll find the exit of this dragon vein, the Heavenly Pool."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie asked, "How long is this tunnel, which leads from the foot of the mountain to Tianchi Lake?"

The big gray rat said, "It must be more than ten miles long. I used 100,000 of my kind and dug for three whole days and three nights."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "That really is a huge project."

Thinking this, the big gray rat said, "Alright, we didn't dig it up for you for nothing. Didn't you reach an agreement with our Great-Grandma Hu San? As long as you give the Golden Lotus to our five great immortal clans, you will be considered a benefactor of our five great immortal clans. What we have to give you is nothing."

Chen Jie said, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will do my best."

Chen Jie said something, then turned around and followed the giant rat into the tunnel. This tunnel, dug by 100,000 rats in three days, was indeed extraordinary. Chen Jie also understood how these rats were able to dig so fast. These rats actually knew how to dig in sections. They divided this dozen or so miles into hundreds or thousands of sections, with dozens or hundreds of rats forming a group. Then they only needed to focus on digging their own few meters.

This greatly reduced the difficulty of the work, allowing the rats to complete their tasks quickly. What's even more ingenious is that by entering the underground passage in sections, the rats left behind countless rat holes, which then became ventilation shafts, ensuring that there were no air problems inside the cave. It must be said that this arrangement was extremely clever and truly amazing.

These immortals are quite something. Chen Jie followed the giant rat, scurrying about until they finally arrived at a place that was flooded. Seeing this, Chen Jie asked, "Why is there water here?"

The big rat said, "You see, we've been going downhill all the way. Once we've dug this far, we'll be below the Heavenly Lake. If we go down here and dive about ten meters, we'll reach the waters below the Heavenly Lake. The Dragon Gate is at the bottom of the Heavenly Lake. If the Dragon Gate opens wide, now will be the best time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie nodded slightly and said, "I see. When will the Dragon Gate be able to open?"

The big rat said, "Don't rush, rest here for a while. I have already sent spies to this Heavenly Pool. As soon as those people enter the water, they will come to notify us. That should be the time when the Dragon Gate opens."

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, "That must have been really hard work."

As he said this, Chen Jie took a short rest at the cave entrance, feeling amused. This trip to the border region was definitely worthwhile. Who would have thought that he would encounter immortals from beyond the border? Ten thousand rats had built a passage to the bottom of the Heavenly Pool for him. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would truly have been a fantasy.

Thinking this, Chen Jie closed his eyes, waiting for news to arrive.

Above us is Tianchi Lake on Mount Taibai. This lake gathers the essence of heaven and earth, with a maximum depth of 873 meters and a water depth of over 200 meters. It is shrouded in clouds and mist year-round, with an average of half the year covered by clouds and the other half sunny.

Moreover, because the pool is very deep, huge creatures often live in it, and they are called water monsters!
At this moment, two large flags stood erected to the east and west of Tianchi Lake. One flag read "Supreme of Tang Sect" and the other read "Ancestor of Whale Shark".

These are the two most powerful forces on Tianchi today: Tang Bao, the Living Yama of the Tang Clan, and Tong Wei, the patriarch of the Whale Shark Gang. The two fourth-level Molten Gods have joined forces to become the two overlords of Tianchi today.

The two men gathered here, each with a group of about twenty people, divided into east and west sections.

There were quite a few people who came this time, including many reclusive old monsters. However, most of them were at the first or second level of the Molten God realm, but there were also a few at the third level of the Molten God realm.

These old monsters were all of relatively high social standing, but they were still somewhat inferior to the two fourth-level Molten Gods from the Tang Sect and the Whale Shark Gang. However, at this time, these third-level Molten God old monsters formed an alliance to fight against the two forces of the Tang Sect and the Whale Shark Gang.

There was nothing that could be done about it. This alliance formed by the three transformations of the Fusion God was entirely due to the mediation of one person, namely, King Qi, Li Siqi.

This fellow had come in high spirits, but to his surprise, he found that the place had been occupied by Tang Yanwang and the Whale Shark Gang. The two patriarchs of Tang Yanwang and the Whale Shark Gang had directly occupied the Heavenly Pool. To enter the Heavenly Pool and the Dragon Gate, you had to join their team and sign an unfair treaty with them, which immediately made Li Siqi unhappy.

Although Tang Yanwang and Whale Shark Ancestor Tong Wei were not the most vehement rebels against the Great Qian Dynasty, they were Han Chinese and would never accept Li Siqi. Moreover, not only would they not accept Li Siqi, but there was a high probability that if Li Siqi appeared directly, they would carry out inhumane suppression and oppression against him.

Li Siqi had no intention of becoming a subordinate of these Han dogs, so he joined forces with Damoba, the chief disciple of the Living Buddha, and two other third-level Melting Gods. Then he found a few other third-level Melting Gods who were not to be outdone, and persuaded them with reason and emotion.

These third-stage Fusion Gods knew that by serving as lackeys for the Whale Shark Gang and the Tang Clan, the extent of their share of opportunities depended entirely on the rewards bestowed by the two fourth-stage Fusion Gods. If there was only one such opportunity, they would have no chance at all; their life-or-death struggle would have been for nothing. How could they be content with that? Therefore, they firmly resolved: no, absolutely not. They couldn't passively wait for those two fourth-stage Fusion Gods to make their way. They weren't like those useless second-stage Fusion Gods; if they were, they might truly have no choice but to obey the fourth-stage Fusion Gods' commands. However, these third-stage Fusion Gods still possessed a certain degree of self-defense capability.

If they could unite with more of them, they would have the strength to fight against the fourth level of the Molten God. Therefore, they formed a third-level alliance, bringing together seven third-level Molten God experts to form a large alliance to fight against the two major alliances of the fourth level of the Molten God.

However, although they were capable of fighting, they did not attract other martial artists and were therefore not considered mainstream. At this moment, they hid in the northeast corner, coldly watching everything in front of them.

At this moment, Li Siqi looked at the Tang Clan and the Whale Shark Gang, who were arrogantly trying to divide Tianchi into east and west sections, and said with a face full of dissatisfaction, "When did our Great Qian become so destitute that we have to sit in a corner and watch the Han people breathe!"

Upon hearing this, Damoba said, "Your Highness, please be patient. Although our Lord Boluo was killed by Chen Jiu Si using evil magic, there should at least be a three-way balance of power today."

Li Siqi said, "Yes, that Chen Jiu Si is indeed strange. I never expected that he could kill Commander Bo Luo with evil methods. How did he manage to do it? Killing someone two ranks above him is too amazing."

Upon hearing this, Damoba sighed and said, "Yes, who could have imagined it?"

"Not to mention you and me, even my master was astonished when he heard this news. He even rode his divine eagle south to Jiangnan, but unfortunately he was stopped by that old Taoist Zhang."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi said, "It's not easy for the Living Buddha. If it weren't for Old Taoist Zhang, the Living Buddha would have already swept past us. It's a pity that there is another terrestrial immortal, Old Taoist Zhang, in this world."

"But let's leave these matters of the terrestrial immortals aside for now. By the way, Damoba, you are the Living Buddha's chief disciple, you must have heard the Living Buddha mention that Chen Jiu Si used what method to kill Marshal Boluo? Marshal Boluo was a genuine fourth-level Molten God!"

Upon hearing this, Damoba remained silent for a moment before speaking up, "Well, Master did mention it once. It seems that Chen Jiu Si used some kind of forbidden technique. But don't worry, since it's a forbidden technique, it shouldn't be able to be used a second time, and the side effects would definitely be severe, so we don't need to worry too much."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi exclaimed, "I never imagined that such a powerful forbidden technique existed in this world."

Damopa said, "The world is vast and full of wonders. Our understanding of this world is probably less than half of what it is."

Li Siqi said, "Yes, some things are really hard to understand."

Then Li Siqi said, "By the way, Damoba, have you seen Chen Jiu Si these past few days?"

Damoba shook his head and said, "No, I did see Zhu Chongba these past few days, but I haven't seen Chen Jiusi at all."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi asked, "Then, is Chen Jiu Si not here?"

Damoba said, "Could it be that the forbidden technique has too many side effects, which is why he didn't come?"

Li Siqi said, "That's possible, but Chen Jiu Si is very strange. We still need to be careful and not let this kid take advantage of us. This kid is the one who can pose the greatest threat to us in the world."

"As for the Tang Clan and the Whale Shark Gang, although they have a fourth-level Molten God, competing for the world's strongest is one aspect, but there is another aspect, namely the ability to govern and command the army. Both are indispensable."

"These two points mean that Chen Jiu Si has left these people far behind. They are the biggest enemy of our Great Qian."

Damoba said, "Yes, what King Qi said is true, but I really didn't see Chen Jiu Si."

King Qi said, "Then it's possible that he was seriously injured. If so, it's understandable that he didn't come."

"I'm afraid he's infiltrated either the Tang Clan or the Whale Shark Gang, trying to take advantage of the chaos."

Upon hearing this, Damopa laughed and said, "Haha, you can rest assured, he will never associate with those two families."

“How come you see?”

Li Siqi looked at Damoba and asked, and Damoba then said, "When I came, I heard the orders from both factions. It seems that they are also looking for Chen Jiu Si. If they find Chen Jiu Si, they said they should report it immediately. They want to get rid of Chen Jiu Si as soon as possible."

"really?"

Li Siqi's eyes lit up instantly as he looked at Damoba. Damoba said, "Why would I lie to you? I heard about this with my own ears."

"Heh, so Chen Jiu Si has also offended these two families to death?"

Li Siqi said, and Damoba replied, "Otherwise what? Haven't you heard that their two families joined forces to deal with Chen Jiu Si?"

Li Siqi said, "Hehe, of course I've heard about it. The Whale Shark Gang launched a major attack, and the Whale Shark Ancestor personally led the charge, but was stopped by a giant python and suffered a crushing defeat."

"Tang Bao, the living Yama of the Tang Clan, sent troops to show his kindness, but was blocked by Yuan Sanjia, the third-ranked man in the world. It can be said that these two people have lost face in front of Chen Jie."

Damoba said, "Now that you know this, it's obvious why these two families want to settle scores with Chen Jiu Si!"

Li Siqi said, "Absolutely, absolutely. If it were me, I would want to cut Chen Jiu Si into a thousand pieces."

"But I have to say, this Chen Jiu Si is really something else. He managed to offend so many big shots. He's like a rat crossing the street, everyone wants to kill him, hahaha..."

Li Siqi couldn't help but laugh.

Damoba said, "My master said that Chen Jiu Si is Sirius, and he has enemies everywhere he looks. But if he defeats all his enemies, he can break through to become Ziwei and rule the world!"

"Hmph, defeat all enemies? Heh, the destiny of Tianlang is to be destroyed, and Chen Jiu Si is no exception."

Li Siqi said.

Just then, everyone suddenly felt the moon break through the clouds and shine directly on the Heavenly Lake. Immediately afterward, a gate appeared where the moon shone!
