Chapter 107 The Underground Palace [Part Four]

Everyone looked up.

Suddenly, a figure in green appeared on a protruding boulder ahead.

He was a young man in his late twenties.

He carried a long, black sword on his back and had a handsome face.

He stood there casually, yet he exuded an inexplicable aura, as if he had become the center of this world, drawing people's attention involuntarily.

"It's Luo Puxian! The young prodigy of the Luo family, already at the mid-stage of the Strong Body realm before he's even forty!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

In the secret martial arts path, once you enter the skin-smoothing realm, your skin becomes as tight as cowhide, and the years will hardly leave a trace.

Many of them look to be in their early twenties but are actually in their thirties or forties.

Moreover, it's a state of strengthening the internal organs. With the five internal organs nourished, the qi and blood abundant, and the essence, energy, and spirit full, one appears increasingly youthful.

If there are no hidden injuries, one will hardly show signs of aging before the age of one hundred.

—Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, several more whooshing sounds tore through the air.

In the blink of an eye.

Four more figures appeared beside the young man.

Two women and two men.

The long-haired woman on the far left was wearing a black short skirt, revealing a section of her fair and rounded thigh. She had a slender waist, but her chest was quite ample.

She wore a pair of purple sunglasses that covered most of her face, revealing only her pointed chin and a bright red lip, giving her an air of cold elegance and languidness.

The woman with the ponytail on the right has a completely different style.

A tight-fitting outfit accentuated her smooth muscle lines, and faint scars were visible on her exposed arms.

She carried a long spear on her back, the tip of which was wrapped in black cloth. At this moment, she was coldly surveying her surroundings, her eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

The man dressed as a monk was fair-skinned and clean-cut, wearing a moon-white monk's robe, holding a vajra pestle, and had a faint smile on his face. He looked somewhat like a highly enlightened monk.

The last one was a bald man, but he wasn't a monk.

His head was shaved until it shone, and a ferocious blue scorpion was tattooed on the back of his head, its tail extending all the way to his neck.

The man's bare arms were covered in bulging veins, like winding little snakes, and he carried two short halberds crossed on his back.

The five men stood side by side, carrying various weapons such as swords, spears, halberds, and knives.

Just standing there quietly, he seemed to be the center of this world, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Based on the whispers of those around him and the information Hu Long had reviewed beforehand, identifying the individuals was not difficult.

From left to right, the group consists of Yu Qing from the Yu family, Jiang Shuying from the Jiang family, Yi Xuanzhu from the Yi family, and Zhao Kuang from the Zhao family.

Including Luo Puxian, who appeared first.

All five were martial artists at the Strong Viscera Realm.

It should be noted that in a typical mid-level clan, the strongest member is only at the Bone Tempering Realm.

Those who can be in charge of the Zhuangfu realm are already extremely rare.

These five individuals, due to their bloodline and the superior secret martial arts techniques they have mastered, are truly invincible even among mid-level clans with members at the Strong Body Realm.

Looking at the crowd below.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

With these people scouting ahead and laying the groundwork, entering the underground palace would undoubtedly provide an extra layer of security.

After waiting for a while longer.

When the time was almost up and everyone from the major clans had arrived, Luo Puxian, who was standing at the front, finally spoke.

"It's a pleasure to have you all here to explore the underground cave with us."

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to be able to bend into a line, penetrate the wind and sand, and clearly reach everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

What can I do if I'm unhappy? If I offend the upper clans, I'll have no way to survive in the future.

However, I knew in my heart that they were just being polite.

They all responded.

"Not at all, it's Young Master Luo who thinks highly of us! We'd do anything to help the five gentlemen, even at the cost of our lives!"

, 3

"That's right, it's our blessing to be able to serve you!"

"So many people would kill for this opportunity!"

For a time, everyone was talking at once, offering nothing but flattery.

Anyway, saying a few nice words won't hurt. Since they're already here, it's good to gain some goodwill.

If the gentlemen are in a good mood and take good care of us after we enter the underground cave, then we'll have made a fortune.

The five men remained calm in the face of this.

As a prodigy, I've long been used to such flattery.

However, to be fair, flattery will never fail you, and that certainly sounds pleasant.

"Hehe, it's good that you think that way."

Luo Puxian nodded slightly, her tone softening.

"In the underground cave, danger and opportunity coexist. Going in together, with each other for support, is actually safer."

You'll also get a share of what you get, which will greatly benefit your strength.

Forcing people to go in as cannon fodder is not a long-term solution; we need to offer some tangible benefits.

really.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the martial artists below immediately lit up with fervor.

Even ordinary people who hadn't yet mastered stance training and had only practiced some combat skills had a burning desire in their eyes.

They had already inquired about the underground palace.

There are many good things inside. If you happen to find one or two, you might be able to step into the extraordinary realm, or even reach a higher level.

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

As long as there's enough profit to be made, there will always be people willing to take the risk.

With so many people going in together, even if there's danger, why should it be my turn?

This is wishful thinking, no different from betting at a gambling table.

Looking at the eager faces below, the people standing on the rock couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Everyone, please rest for a while. According to our calculations, the location of the underground palace should be fully revealed in half an hour. Then we will all enter together! If we perform well, we can obtain all the treasures inside!"

Luo Puxian said something.

With a swift movement, it landed directly on the open ground to the side below.

Immediately, all the middle-ranking clans that were affiliated with the Luo family gathered around.

The other four didn't say much, but they also moved and left the spot.

Only Zhao Kuang, dressed as a monk, remained.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, he sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.

He then planted the vajra pestle into the rock on one side.

I witnessed this scene right there.

Miao Xun, who was about to explode in anger, had no time to continue arguing with Fang Du.

After giving a few instructions to the clansmen behind him, the leaders of several medium-sized clans, including Fang Du, walked up to Jiang Shuying, who was carrying a long spear, to greet her and talk.

And they started engaging in some sycophantic behavior.

In this regard.

Hu Long, who was behind, didn't pay much attention to it.

He glanced around.

This desolate Gobi Desert was almost entirely filled with figures.

If you add these people up, there are at least two or three thousand of them.

Of course, ordinary people who only practiced martial arts accounted for at least half of them.

Looking at this scene.

An idea popped into Hu Long's mind.

"I wonder how big this underground palace is, and whether it can fit everything?"

The superior clans drove the middle clans to act as cannon fodder, the middle clans pushed the inferior clans to the front lines, and the inferior clans used ordinary people as scapegoats.

Layer upon layer, peeling away layer after layer, the underlying structure becomes quite clear.

As for ordinary people at the very bottom of society, they would probably be willing to do so if they were tempted by the promise of extraordinary abilities through practicing secret martial arts.

After all, this world is a place where big fish eat little fish, so there's nothing strange about it.

Hu Long and the others waited quietly.

"Fang Bai, as members of the same clan, we hope you can help and support each other when we enter."

During this time, people naturally had to exchange ideas with each other.

At that moment, one of the members of the Mopijing clan, who was also from the Fang family, approached Hu Long.

Fang Bai was the identity he was pretending to have.

The real Fang Bai was temporarily detained.

"That's natural!"

Hu Long nodded without saying anything more.

Upon seeing this, the man said a few more words, but remained indifferent when he saw Hu Long.

He shook his head and turned to talk to the others.

Fang Bai was a withdrawn person who had almost no friends.

This performance was expected.

Hu Long didn't care at all about what other people thought.

Half an hour is neither a long nor a short time.

Hu Long sat casually on the Gobi Desert. The power of the Six-Armed Demon Ape Technique within his body was circulating for the thirty-sixth time, and he was preparing to circulate it for the thirty-seventh time.

Suddenly, he stopped moving and opened his eyes.

At that moment, a very slight tremor came from the ground beneath him.

The vibration was getting stronger and stronger.

He wasn't the only one who realized this.

Everyone noticed this scene and just stood up.

—Boom!

next second.

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded across the vast Gobi Desert, causing the gravel and sand below to tremble slightly.

Several figures emerged from the crowd, leaping up a section of crumbling wall several meters high in a few bounds.

Looking into the distance, amidst the rolling yellow sand, a massive black building stands majestically atop the sand dunes, like a colossal beast that has slumbered here since time immemorial, now emerging from the earth.

"An underground palace has appeared!"

Actually, you don't need to stand that high to see anything.

Hu Long watched this scene unfold.

A strange light flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the enormous thing that appeared out of nowhere.

When they flew low over the Gobi Desert earlier, the entire area was visible, with undulating sand dunes and scattered ruins, but there was no trace of this building.

It looked as if it had suddenly risen from the depths of the earth.

Is it some kind of special ancient technique, or a special mechanism hidden underground?

"Let's go! The underground palace is open!"

At this moment, Luo Puxian spoke up.

The words fell.

He and the five people behind him moved in a flash, transforming into a streak of light that was difficult to catch with the naked eye as they sped forward.

Seeing this, the crowd below followed closely behind, led by their respective leaders.

"Looking at the mountain makes one run until the horse dies."

The same principle applies here as well.

The underground palace that appeared seemed close, but when you actually tried to get closer, you found that it was much farther away than you had imagined.

The strong wind, carrying sand and gravel, lashed at our faces, blinding us and greatly slowing our progress.

But for martial artists who have already mastered internal energy, this is nothing at all.

Hu Long deliberately slowed his pace, maintaining the speed appropriate for someone in the Skin-Smoothing Realm. After running with the crowd for more than ten minutes, he finally arrived in front of the underground palace.
