Chapter 167 - The Underground World

The three mysterious Western cultivators hurriedly raised their palms to block the azure light, keeping it a foot above their heads. Jons shouted into the sky, "Your lineage of demons is sealed in Kunlun, forbidden to set foot in the mortal world at will. Have you forgotten your oath?"

"snort"

A cold snort rang out, like a thunderclap, resounding in everyone's ears.

"Not being able to do things at will doesn't mean you can't. The identities of the three of you are even more shady. Do you want me to expose you in public? I'm afraid that you'll have a very hard time leaving the Eastern Continent alive!"

Upon hearing this, the three Westerners' expressions changed drastically. Camus said, "It seems you are also someone of great importance, perhaps even more shady than us. If we really tear off the mask of civility, none of us will benefit."

At this moment, the three old monsters, including the old demon, changed their expressions again. They had not expected so many unexpected events tonight. With their cultivation levels, they should have been invincible in the mortal world, but now several mysterious and terrifying figures who gave them a headache had arrived.

Chen Nan, who was far away, was extremely shocked. He couldn't guess the origin of the three Westerners, but he clearly heard the words "Kunlun Demon Clan" from the East.

He wiped away a cold sweat, thinking to himself: This is a real tough guy. If a real demon came, even an old monster would be defeated by such a monster. This is a real thorn in my side!

At this moment, all the cultivators who had stormed into the palace were both excited and somewhat nervous. How could they possibly see a sixth-tier expert like that on ordinary days? Now, a demon race member and three mysterious Western cultivators had appeared—this was truly a once-in-a-century event!

A cold laugh came from the sky. The Kunlun demon seemed to have completely disregarded the three's words. He said coldly, "Now you can retreat. Go back to where you came from, or you should know what will happen next."

Amy and the other two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously unleashed a dazzling burst of light, quickly repelling the three old monsters' tri-colored radiance. They then simultaneously struck the sky with their palms, scattering the Kunlun demon race's azure glow. The three of them then leaped into the underground cave.

The three old monsters exchanged a glance, then jumped down together. They couldn't delay any longer; more than a dozen fifth-tier experts had already rushed in, along with three mysterious Western cultivators. If they didn't act now, the treasure would fall into the wrong hands.

The moment the old monster jumped in, an aged voice came from the cave: "Chen Nan, come in quickly. I will give you Hou Yi's Divine Bow afterward."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan not only didn't go over, but quickly took a few steps back, preparing to retreat. He was joking; that cave was practically a monster's lair, and for a fourth-tier expert like himself to go in would be tantamount to suicide.

But at that moment, an immense pressure blocked his retreat. The peerless master Zhuge Chengfeng said with a solemn expression, "Immortal caves often have many restrictions that can only be broken by divine treasures. Only you can bypass Hou Yi's divine bow; no one else can do it for you. Please go down and lend Senior Chu a hand."

faint!

Chen Nan sighed. The four peerless masters guarding the ancient library, including Zhuge Chengfeng, had not followed him. Now, the four of them were blocking his way, and he had no way to escape.

Zhuge Chengfeng said gently, "Don't worry, Senior Chu will never let anything happen to you. In addition, I will now pass on half of my power to you, so that you can reach the fourth level of mastery within an hour."

As he spoke, he moved with lightning speed, appearing behind Chen Nan and placing his palms on Chen Nan's back. A continuous stream of internal energy surged into Chen Nan's body like a tidal wave.

He was truly being forced to move forward! Although Chen Nan could feel the powerful internal energy within him, he still couldn't laugh. He forced himself to come to the cave entrance.

Below, a radiant light soared into the sky, resembling a vast treasure trove, and several figures moved rapidly. Although Chen Nan's skill had temporarily improved greatly, he was still far from being able to compare with those peerless masters, so he dared not leap in. Instead, he slowly moved downwards, clinging to the cave wall.

Upon reaching the bottom, Chen Nan was astonished. The area below was bathed in light. Countless enormous stone pillars, like jade pillars supporting the sky, supported a vast and empty space. This underground world was filled with palaces and pavilions, resembling a fairyland.

Besides the continuous palaces, there are countless statues scattered in the space below, most of them figures from myths and legends.

Every building is adorned with pearls, and it is from them that the light shines.

"What an enormous project this is!" Chen Nan exclaimed.

A dozen or so peerless masters moved in and out of the palace, searching for the rare treasure. Three mysterious Westerners floated in the air, coldly watching the palace below, several beams of divine light shooting from their eyes, sweeping across every inch of space.

The three old monsters stood silently before the palace, making no move. Seeing Chen Nan arrive, one of the old monsters beckoned to him, signaling him to come over.

Chen Nan held Hou Yi's bow. At this moment, all three old men had solemn expressions. The appearance of the three mysterious Westerners and the Kunlun demon clan made them feel a sense of pressure, and the three had begun to join forces.

The emaciated Li Laoguai, who looked like a dried corpse, said, "My Eastern treasures must not be taken by Westerners. Otherwise, when word gets to the cultivation world, they will surely laugh at our incompetence."

The other two nodded in agreement, and the three old monsters were now united in their hatred of the enemy.

A dozen or so peerless masters had been searching the palace for a long time, but still found nothing. At this moment, they saw three Western cultivators floating in the air, and three old monsters, as they were used to, arrive in the underground world. They seemed to realize something; even if they obtained the treasure, it would probably only benefit others.

Seven or eight figures withdrew from the palace, passing by the old monster without stopping, and quickly climbed up the cavern.

However, eight or nine peerless masters remained, their attraction to Yi Bao far too great. These individuals hadn't forgotten the existence of high-level experts; they simply believed that finding and controlling that extraordinary treasure would allow them to contend with invincible masters.

Just then, the three mysterious Western experts and the three old monsters in the air seemed to sense something simultaneously, and the six of them quickly flew towards the end of the palace. There, a massive stone wall emitted a dazzling light, like the end of the sky, blocking out the space ahead...
