”Hurry! They'll be coming this way soon!” Wang Chong whispered. He looked away from the sixth-generation walking corpse and charged ahead.

The man with the three-eyed deer mask already had complete control over the battlefield. Although Wang Chong had used the sixth-generation successor to hold down the third bamboo hat man, the bamboo hat man would come after them as soon as he got the chance.

Both of those combatants were hostile to Wang Chong, and once they began to chase him down, his current condition meant that he was doomed. His only hope of survival was charging forward, using this chance to increase the distance between him and the masked man and sixth-generation successor. This would buy him a chance to breathe.

The best outcome was finding the Origin Immortal Art so that he could quickly leave.

Wind rushed past him while thick green smoke blanketed his surroundings.

Gradually, as he pressed forward, Wang Chong began to sense that something was wrong.

This cave seemed to be different from all the other caves. Rather than crude stone, the ground beneath his feet was made from sturdy bricks.

And the walls on both sides were no longer ordinary stone, but metal. And amidst the green mist, Wang Chong actually smelled the faint scent… of sandalwood!

The Lone Silence Ancestor had also vanished at some point, and even though Wang Chong had sent out his Psychic Energy, he couldn't sense his location.

Forget it! I have to find the exit quickly! Wang Chong said to himself as he focused.

As countless thoughts passed through his mind, the metal walls, green smoke, and the scent of sandalwood made Wang Chong realize something.

A few moments later, Wang Chong verified his theory.

Buzz!

After traveling several thousand meters along the passage, he finally stopped in front of a long set of bronze steps leading downward.

An underground palace!

Wang Chong gazed at the immense space before him.

This was a massive ancient palace, and within this palace stood enormous mountain-shaped incense burners from which green smoke poured out. The sandalwood scent Wang Chong had smelled was coming from these incense burners.

In the center of the palace, atop yet another high set of stairs, was a series of enormous dragon pillars.

These pillars were not carved from wood, but cast from copper.

”What sort of place is this?” Wang Chong muttered to himself, a strange feeling coming over him.

After traveling through these complicated caves, he found it very bizarre to see this ancient underground palace that seemed to come from another era.

And the palace before him was completely empty. Even so, he did not dare to be careless.

Wang Chong remembered the Lone Silence Ancestor saying that there were six generations of successors.

The safer the place seemed, the warier Wang Chong became.

Buzz!

As he was inspecting the empty palace, he grimaced. A moment later, a sharp pain came from his dantian.

”Another flare-up! They're coming faster and faster! If I don't find the Origin Immortal Art soon to pacify my Stellar Energy, my body will fall into even greater disarray.”

Wang Chong held a hand over his belly, his entire body trembling and his young face twisted in pain.

Cold beads of sweat trickled down from his forehead. At this moment, he felt like a palm had reached into his body and was twisting at his meridians, inflicting excruciating pain upon him.

Wang Chong closed his eyes and began to shift around his Stellar Energy. Slowly, he managed to pacify the unruly streams.

Finally, the heart-piercing pain began to fade.

I have to get out of here and find the Origin Immortal Art! Wang Chong said to himself, raising his head.

Taptaptap!

A rush of air came from behind him, accompanied by noisy footsteps.

”Hurry! Don't let the brat get away!”

”We have to find him!”

”What a cunning Child of Destruction!”

The angry voices mixed with the footsteps told him that the men in black were coming.

Wang Chong's face grimaced in recognition.

The sixth-generation successor had been incredibly powerful, with the Four Ends Martial Lord not even able to endure a single palm of his, but not even he had been able to stop the men in black.

Wang Chong was in an extremely weak state. If he encountered the men in black now, he was essentially finished.

With no time to think, Wang Chong took in a deep breath, hardened his resolve, and headed into the palace.

Whoosh! Wang Chong crossed three hundred feet in a single leap, entering the main plaza.

The green smoke and sandalwood scent were even thicker here.

Crack!
