You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

"Chen Yang."

Gu Jinghui also saw Chen Yang.

I greeted him from afar.

Chen Yang also landed.

"Commander Chen".

Uncle Li also came out of the house, followed by Song Jingxuan.

Several people were clearly waiting for him to arrive.

In the end, it was Ali who came out.

She was accompanied by Big Head and Fat Cat, and at the very back were a few weasels.

"Chen Yang."

When Ali saw him, she happily ran over.

If there weren't so many people here, they would have already hugged her.

"Everyone, long time no see."

Chen Yang greeted everyone with a smile as they came out.

"Yeah, long time no see."

Song Jingxuan was the first to agree.

She and Chen Yang had indeed not seen each other for a long time.

Uncle Li had just separated from Chen Yang.

Not long after.

"Everyone, how do you plan to make arrangements? We can't leave this place empty."

Chen Yang looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

“Okay, let’s go together, and let Ali and Jingxuan stay behind.”

"They also have Big Head and Fat Cat, plus these weasels, that should be enough."

Gu Jinghui pointed at several people, clearly having already made plans.

"Yes, leave this to us."

Be careful when you go.

Song Jingxuan nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now."

Chen Yang nodded, then continued, "If you have any questions, please contact us."

Is this place far from here?

"It's not too far, it's in the heart of the mountains, about fifty miles away."

Uncle Li pointed in a direction and said to Chen Yang, "Go east this way, and you'll get there soon."

"Even if something happens here, we can come back in time."

"Okay, let's go."

After Chen Yang agreed, he waved to Gu Jinghui.

"Then I'll leave this place to you. We should be back soon."

Before leaving, Gu Jinghui reminded the two of these things.

"Okay, you all need to be careful too."

Ali nodded, her beautiful eyes looking at Chen Yang: "Don't be reckless, be careful if there's a problem!"

"Don't worry, there are so many of us."

Chen Yang stepped forward, looked at Ali, and patted her on the shoulder: "Just wait for us to come back."

"Ok!"

Ali nodded vigorously, then watched Chen Yang and the others leap into the air.

It sped off in the east.

The three of them flew like that for about a few minutes.

"Look, it's right here in this valley."

Uncle Li pointed to the valley in front of his mother and said to Chen Yang.

"Oh? In the valley?"

There's nothing here?

Chen Yang glanced down.

Upon discovering this valley, there was nothing but mountains and trees.

At most, there's a small stream in the middle of the mountains.

"follow me!"

"You'll know in a minute."

Gu Jinghui quickened his pace and soon landed on the mountainside.

This is exactly where the stream flows through.

Chen Yang and Uncle Li also came down.

"call!"

A gust of wind blew.

Chen Yang immediately felt a cold wind blow past.

Looking up, there was a cave on the mountainside in front of me.

The wind blows from here.

"Let's go in."

Uncle Li looked around and went inside first.

Chen Yang followed: "Are you talking about inside?"

"Yeah, what else?"

Gu Jinghui smiled and then said, "Don't worry, you'll know what's going on once we get inside."

"it is good."

After Chen Yang agreed, he followed them inside.

The cave is very spacious; a dozen people could pass through at the same time without any problem.

After they went in, they went downstairs.

The road was fine at first, and we were able to get through smoothly.

However, as we got to the bottom, the road began to be gradually destroyed.

Has anyone been here before?

Chen Yang followed, his expression growing serious.

If someone has actually been here, then there's no point in them coming.

Thieves never leave empty-handed; if someone comes by, they're bound to take a lot of things.

Moreover, judging from the traces here, more than one group of people came.

"Yes, the two of us went down there too."

After Gu Jinghui agreed, he continued, "Look down there, there are still skeletons."

"There have been conflicts here before."

"Well, so what's next?"

Chen Yang nodded, then asked another question.

"The scene below is horrific; there's a formation there."

"The fact that we didn't open it means that no one has opened it before."

"So, if we go down, there is still hope."

"Let's see if you have the ability to open it."

Gu Jinghui then spoke to Chen Yang.

"Oh? So you called me here not because you were thinking of me, but because you couldn't open it."

Chen Yang has finally come to his senses.

Gu Jinghui was simply using me.

That bastard, he's been a total jerk as always.

"Since we're already here, let's go down and take a look. Maybe you can open it."

Gu Jinghui smiled, revealing an innocent look: "The fact that you're the first person I thought of shows that I still believe in your abilities."

"Screw you, you should have told me earlier, I could have prepared."

"If we go down there directly, what if we can't open it? Wouldn't that be a wasted trip?"

Chen Yang glared at him.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of going down from here, we would have taken action long ago.

"Commander Chen, since we're here, let's make the best of it."

"Maybe we can actually get in."

Uncle Li had clearly been brainwashed by Gu Jinghui and started to persuade him along with him.

"Okay, let's go!"

Chen Yang sighed, then followed the two men down the path.

Next, the road gradually became steeper.

"Wow!"

Every now and then, small stones would fall.

The group continued walking down for another ten minutes or so.

Finally, we arrived underground.

This place is still an open space.

There is a stone gate ahead.

There were many corpses in front of the stone gate.

However, they have all turned into bones.

These people have obviously been dead for a long time.

On the stone wall on this side of the stone gate, there are still many traces of attacks.

Clearly, this was caused by people who came here before.

However, they clearly all failed.

Looking around, there were no other exits; this was the only way in.

Chen Yang looked inside, then looked around.

"This place is relatively safe."

"Let me see what's going on. You guys keep an eye on the area."

After reviewing the document, Chen Yang gave instructions to the two men.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

Gu Jinghui agreed and then began to keep watch in the vicinity.

Uncle Li was near Shimen.

They clearly wanted to see how Chen Yang would open the stone door directly.

Chen Yang didn't care about this and walked up to the front and back, carefully looking at the stone gate in front of him.

First, he picked up a sword from the ground and threw it directly onto the stone gate.

"Clang."

When it hit, it only made a sound.

There was no further movement.

"Safety."

Chen Yang smiled.

This is a habit he developed after visiting Changbai Mountain and seeing the stone gate of the Heavenly Road.

After all, they didn't want to be attacked by that stone gate.

If we're caught off guard, we'll be in trouble. After confirming that it was safe here, Chen Yang approached the stone gate.

Carefully observe the situation at Shimen.

There are no inscriptions on it, only some marks from sword and knife cuts.

"Commander Chen, we've tried it, but using spiritual energy to attack will cause a backlash."

At this moment, Uncle Li also came over.

He reminded him in a deep voice.

"Oh?"

"Let me try."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately became interested.

He waved his hand as he backed away.

Uncle Li also left.

Chen Yang stopped a dozen feet away from the stone gate.

Then he activated the Great Method of Purifying the Subtle Essence.

He then struck out with a palm towards the stone gate.

"Boom!"

"..."

When this palm strike landed, the entire stone gate only emitted a loud bang.

This is also because there is an echo inside the cave.

The stone gate in front of him remained completely still.

"call!"

The next moment, an attack identical to Chen Yang's attack shot out from the small stone gate.

The target was Chen Yang.

"Be careful!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Uncle Li quickly reminded Chen Yang.

"don’t worry!"

Chen Yang watched as the attack approached.

Without panicking, he roared, "Sheng Guang!"

With a roar, the life force was activated.

A divine light immediately enveloped his body.

As he retreated, he successfully blocked this counterattack.

However, the attack was still very powerful.

Chen Yang flipped backward a few times in mid-air before regaining his balance.

He reached out and rubbed his numb chest, his eyes fixed on the stone gate in front of him.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Upon seeing this, Gu Jinghui quickly came over to inquire about his condition.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Chen Yang had been prepared, so he wasn't injured after being hit.

Just now, I was only a little bit hit and my blood and qi were not flowing smoothly.

"Be careful, don't cause any trouble."

Seeing that Chen Yang was alright, Gu Jinghui began to offer reminders.

There was still a hint of reproach in those eyes.

However, Chen Yang also knew that he was concerned about him.

"Watch your own back, don't worry about me."

Chen Yang glared at him, then went to the stone gate.

This time, he didn't hold back.

He immediately activated his eagle eyes.

"Shh!"

The next moment, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this stone gate was indeed extraordinary.

The stone gate looks like a gate, but in reality, there are several spirit beasts inside it.

Unfortunately, their souls and bodies were sealed inside.

He is obviously dead.

"So, any discoveries?"

Uncle Li looked at Chen Yang standing in front of the stone gate and couldn't help but show a worried expression.

They thought Chen Yang was going to use some new method.

He was still shaken by what had just happened.

"There are spirit beasts sealed inside this stone gate, no wonder it has been able to function for so long."

"Their souls are sealed here, becoming the guardians of this door."

"As long as someone attacks, they will activate the stone gate's formation and attack the enemy."

After confirming this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "I see."

"Chen Shuai, do you have a way to open it?"

Uncle Li became interested immediately upon hearing his words.

asked hurriedly.

"It's not difficult, let me try."

Chen Yang revealed a smug look, then made a hand seal: "Soul Binding Technique!"

As he cast the Soul Binding Technique again, invisible chains once more materialized behind him.

Once these chains coalesced, under his control, they shot directly toward the stone gate ahead.

The moment the chain touched the stone gate, it plunged straight into it.

Several faint roars suddenly came from inside the stone gate.

The sealed spirit beast's soul sensed the devouring power of the Soul-Binding Technique.

"Come out!"

Chen Yang controlled his chains and began to pull the soul out of them.

A visible ripple appeared on the surface of the stone gate.

Several blurry beast shadows struggled incessantly against the stone gate.

However, they were never able to break free of the chains.

Their soul forms have become illusory.

He was clearly being tortured.

"Roar!"

"Ouch!"

The beast's soul roared, but to no avail.

"receive!"

Chen Yang pulled his hands back sharply.

He eventually pulled the spirit beast's soul out.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Yang directly stored it into his parade banner.

"It's done."

Chen Yang clapped his hands, revealing a relaxed expression.

However, just as he finished speaking, the entire cave suddenly began to shake.

"boom!"

"..."

The rocks overhead began to loosen.

Dust and gravel fell down.

"Holy crap! What's going on?!"

Gu Jinghui was startled by the sudden tremor and said worriedly, "Is this dilapidated cave going to collapse?"

"Chen Yang, are you up to something?"

As he spoke, he kept an eye out for the place collapsing.

"Don't worry, even if you collapse, it might not be a problem."

Chen Yang pursed his lips and said with a smile.

"Then this is..."

Uncle Li was initially worried, but he quickly realized something was wrong and exclaimed, "Commander Chen! Look! The stone gate is moving!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang looked towards the stone gate.

Sure enough, the stone door was trembling.

Cracks began to appear on the stone walls surrounding the stone gate.

"Ok?"

Chen Yang immediately activated his Fiery Eyes of Truth, staring intently at the stone gate.

"not good!"

Chen Yang saw the disturbance beginning inside the stone gate and knew in his heart that something was wrong, "This formation is about to activate!"

"It wants to self-destruct and completely seal this place off!"

"what?"

Gu Jinghui and Uncle Li looked alarmed when they heard Chen Yang's words.

"How to do?"

Uncle Li asked nervously as well.

"Chen Yang! Think of something quickly!"

Gu Jinghui shouted urgently.

"Look at me."

Chen Yang shouted and took out his Xuan Sword.

"Break it for me!"

A sword aura shot towards the stone gate in an instant.

"laugh!"

The sword energy collided with the stone gate.

There was no fluctuation.

Instead, it silently penetrated the stone door.

Destroy the key point of the formation that is about to explode.

"Om-"

With the key point of the formation breached, the stone gate began to shake.

After a few breaths, the stone gate slowly stopped shaking.

The space gradually quieted down.

Gu Jinghui looked at the stone gate and complained, "Damn it! Chen Yang scared the hell out of me!"

"Now look what's happened, you've completely ruined it."

"Don't worry, the door is already broken."

"This is a good thing for us."

Chen Yang smiled, walked towards the stone gate, and patted it with his hand: "There are no more fluctuations now, we can go in."

"What? How do we get in? This is a stone door, not a wooden door!"

Gu Jinghui looked at the heavy stone door, curled his lip, and said, "I might as well not have invited you." (End of Chapter)
