The Eternal World

"Mine?" Zhang Chao's eyes lit up.

"Alright, then let's go to the mine and take a look!"

"Boss, I heard that that place is haunted. Are you sure you want to go there?" Zhu Liu asked worriedly.

"It's just a ghost, what's the big deal. Not only have I seen ghosts, I've also seen ghosts too!" Zhang Chao waved his hands in disdain, and thought back to that female ghost called Little Marten …

"Damn, boss is indeed boss, so awesome!" Zhu Liu raised his thumb in shock: "Boss, what does it feel like to be on the upper half of a ghost?"

"Aiya, that feeling..." Zhang Chao rubbed his chin, but suddenly realised that he had gone off topic, and waved his hands: "Why are you saying this, the important thing is to get serious!"

"That's right, that's right. Boss, are you going now?" Zhu Liu nodded and asked.

"Un, let's go now!" Zhang Chao did not want to wait any longer, in Pei City, he had wasted a lot of time.

"Well, in that case, we'll go with you!" Zhu Liu volunteered himself.

"No need, I'll go by myself. There's too many eyes!" Zhang Chao shook his head, took out a few more crystal coin and bestowed it to the criminals, then left the tavern under everyone's worshipful gazes.

Half an hour later, Zhang Chao arrived at the location of the mine that Zhu Liu had mentioned.

This place had indeed been deserted for a long time, and there was no sign of human life within a radius of a few miles.

Beside a mine, there was a pile of soil that looked like a small mountain. It should be what Zhu Liu was talking about, the dirt that should have been dug out from the mine.

"What a joke, what mine? Although the soil has dried up, but it's obvious that the difference between the soil and the surface is from the underground!" Zhang Chao grabbed a handful of dirt as he twisted it open, and said while rubbing it with a cold smile.

"It's fine to lie to others, but anyone with common sense wouldn't be fooled, right?" He mumbled to himself: "This is big enough for ten mines!"

If that's right, this should be one of the entrances to the underground space. Later on, in order to not arouse too much suspicion, he destroyed this entrance and opened another one at the fish pond in the City Lord's Mansion.

After using his left eye to observe carefully for a long time and sensing the air for a moment, he confirmed that there was no one here and jumped into the mine.

It was extremely dark inside, but it did not have any effect on Zhang Chao. In one breath, he walked to a position that was around four to five kilometers away, and this tunnel was a steep slope that continued to tilt downwards. He estimated that he had reached the location below the fish pond where the silt was.

However, the road ahead was blocked.

Along the way, he only saw some abandoned digging tools, but not a single skeleton.

"Is there nothing I can do after sealing it?" Zhang Chao's left eye shined and instantly, he saw through the wall in front of him.

This dirt wall was about 70 to 80 feet thick and there were still some treasures hidden inside. As long as someone excavated it, they would accidentally touch the treasures. This would cause a loud noise and attract the attention of the people inside.

"Hmph, interesting. You want to stop me from exploring with this kind of method?" Zhang Chao's mouth twitched, he immediately picked up a shovel and started digging.

However, he knew the location and trigger opportunity of those treasures, allowing him to easily dodge them. If he could not dodge in time, he would use Forge Master's ability to instantly destroy that treasure.

After working for a full four hours, the sky outside was gradually getting dark, and Zhang Chao finally managed to pierce through the spear.

On the other side, it was floating.

He stuck his head out and was startled.

Sure enough, there was another world underground!

It was a huge underground cave.

The height of a person was around a hundred feet, while the width was about a hundred feet.

And the place where Zhang Chao was at, was exactly the highest point of this empty wall.

A lot of people were busy below.

Zhang Chao at least saw three men wearing black robes directing a large group of workers with their hands behind their back.

They were building something big, but they were beginning to take shape.

It was a huge platform supported by eight pagodas. In the center of the platform, there were several huge furnaces. The flames inside were at least ten feet tall.

Around this building, there were piles of bones.

White bones covered the sky. According to the rough estimate, there were at least ten thousand people!

"It looks like the workers who dug this underground cave are all dead. However, it's not because of some accident. To prevent them from spouting nonsense, it's safer to be killed here!" Zhang Chao squinted his eyes, "These guys are really vicious!"

Soon after, he saw a few more people come to this place. These people were brimming with a thick demonic aura, so it was obvious that they were from the Shadow Devil Clan.

Moreover, their strength was not weak, as they had already reached the early stages of Yuan Dan Stage.

"Hmm?" As he continued to read, Zhang Chao's expression changed.

He saw a young man in a long black robe standing in the middle of the crowd. His hands were clasped behind his back, as if he were evaluating something.

This youth looked to be around eleven or twelve years old, with red lips and white teeth. He floated with his feet three inches high off the ground, while his body gave off a strange aura, making Zhang Chao unable to see through him.

"This young man is very dangerous!" Zhang Chao immediately judged that although he did not dare to use his left eye to look at the other party, he felt extremely displeased in his heart.

However, what was this building built by these people?

What was their purpose?

Zhang Chao's heart skipped a beat and he slowly exited the cave.

Right now, he could not rush in rashly, lest he alerted the enemy. Moreover, those existences inside were not something that he could deal with by relying on his own strength.

After walking out of the cave, Zhang Chao's expression was heavy. After pondering for a long time, he took out a small paper crane and injected his spirit energy into it.

The paper crane flew in the air, and as if it was alive, it flapped its wings, transforming into a ray of light that sped towards the War God Academy.

"We can't not call for reinforcements. The situation inside is already far more difficult than the mission I accepted. I hope War God Academy can receive my help as soon as possible and send a few decent helpers!" Zhang Chao sighed, in this period of time, he could only continue to wait in the City Lord's Mansion.

Moreover, he had been out for too long today. If he did not return, it might cause the people in the City Lord's Mansion to be suspicious.

However, he didn't expect that after taking a few steps, a spark suddenly appeared in the sky.

"What?" Zhang Chao's pupils contracted. The paper crane that he had requested for had actually turned into ashes!

"Hmph hmph, do you want to ask for help? I'm sorry, but we can't let you do that for the time being! " Soon after, an eerie voice sounded and a person walked in from not too far away.

"Vice City Lord, why are you so free to walk in the wilderness?" Zhang Chao took a deep breath and laughed.

This man was the Pei City's Vice City Lord!

"You're quite free too. To be able to find it in such a place, it's really surprising!" The Vice City Master was also full of smiles as he walked in front of Zhang Chao.

"I really don't have much to play in your mansion. I was just thinking about how to get some game to eat, so I ran over here. It's a pity that game is too hard to find. I've been busy for an entire afternoon without any results. Cough, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first!" Zhang Chao laughed and took a step forward.

"Wild game?" I think you've spent an entire afternoon digging, right? " The City Lord's smile became gloomy and cold: "Zhang Chao, stop pretending to be stupid with me, did you see that?"

"Eh? See what? Is your wife stealing men? " Zhang Chao scratched his head and continued to pretend.

"Bullshit!" The Vice City Lord almost choked to death by these words, "Stop talking nonsense, Zhang Chao, I had originally planned to do whatever you want and get rid of you when the time comes, but yet you are so restless!"

"It's fine if you made my City Lord's Mansion into a complete mess, but I can still endure after eating my Ferghana Horse. However, you just don't know when to stop and leave the last few days of peace. You must have bad luck in advance!"

"Aiyo, you've fallen out with me?" Zhang Chao's expression also darkened, "What's wrong? You have overturned your cards? "

"Don't even think about informing the War God Academy's reinforcements. When the time comes, I will cut off your head and release the news, and have the War God Academy's experts come here!" The Vice City Lord rolled up his sleeves and said sinisterly, "But before that, you'd better behave!"

"I can roughly guess your intentions!" Zhang Chao licked his lips: "But, do you really think you can keep me here?"

"Boasting shamelessly, it's still easy for me to deal with you!" A domineering Origin Energy pressure suddenly rose from the Vice City Governor's body.

"It really is the fifth level of the transformational stage …" The corner of Zhang Chao's eyes twitched.

"Kid, I advise you not to resist, in case you suffer additional pain!" The Vice City Lord raised his hand, and directly grabbed towards Zhang Chao's shoulder!

"Hmph, the arrogant one is you!" Zhang Chao also did not hold back. While releasing his spirit energy, he stretched his hand out towards the other party's wrist!

"A mere peak Energy Accumulation Realm dares to be rash!" The Vice City Lord showed no fear. He flipped his other palm and struck out with it!

All of a sudden, a strong wind blew, causing the dust on the ground to rise up and cover the sky.

Zhang Chao hurriedly retracted his hand, and then, he took a few wrong steps back, and sent a palm strike towards the attack as well!

"Bam!" With a dull thud, Zhang Chao's entire body shook, and he retreated several steps with explosive force, the blood and Qi in his body tumbling.

"Oh no, I forgot that I have sealed most of my spirit energy. Right now, I am only slightly stronger than cultivators of the same cultivation level. The difference between their realms is too great! " Zhang Chao's pupils contracted slightly as his entire arm started to emit intense pain.

Hahaha, not bad, not bad, just in terms of Energy Accumulation Realm, you can be considered the most powerful one that I have ever seen, yet you can actually meet my palm strike head on, but that's all there is to it. The Deputy City Lord let out a wild laugh as his elemental energy rapidly gathered in his palm.

"Stop!" Who would have thought that Zhang Chao would suddenly raise his hands up: "I admit defeat!"

"Huh?" The Vice City Lord's waist was almost struck by the blow, causing him to be stunned. "What did you say?"

"I said I admit defeat, stop fighting. I can't beat you anyway!" Zhang Chao said very calmly: "So, I am also too lazy to waste my strength!"

"Brat, what are you planning to do now?" The Vice City Lord obviously did not believe him, and looked at Zhang Chao with suspicion.
