Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Chapter 171 Underground Palace (Part 1)

The music was melodious, the mist was floating, petals were dancing in the sky, and a group of girls dressed in colorful clothes and feathers appeared in the distant sky like fairies.

"I didn't expect that people from Yuheng Academy are here too." The young man in brocade robe muttered.

Gu Chi said, "Isn't it said that Yuheng Academy has always been a peaceful academy and won't actively get involved in disputes? Why are you here to join in the fun?"

The young man in brocade robe said, "When it comes to the Nine Secrets of Tianyuan, who wouldn't want to fight for it?"

"boom"

There was another loud noise in the distant sky, as if thousands of troops were galloping, and dozens of ancient chariots rumbled across the sky, startling everyone present.

"Woo..."

The horn blared, deafening.

Large tracts of clouds were shaken apart, and a golden warship hundreds of feet long rolled across the sky, shining brightly, brilliantly and dazzlingly.

Gu Chi said, "Have you noticed that the people sent by the major forces are almost all the geniuses and outstanding people of the younger generation. There is not even a single old man to be seen."

"This should be an intentional arrangement by those in power in various forces. They want to use this opportunity to let these geniuses of the younger generation have a big showdown to determine who is the weakest and who is the strongest." The young man in brocade robe analyzed.

"Ignore them and get back to work! We've been busy for so many days, we can't let anyone else get there first!"

There are only nine most likely burial areas left on the ruins of Jingcheng, and they have basically been occupied by others. Gu Chi and his team had to take action, and after a bloody battle, they successfully seized the next area.

"Rumble"

The two men and the dog held hoes, shovels and other tools in their hands, sweating profusely and digging tirelessly.

However, after going more than a hundred meters underground, they did not encounter any ancient tomb. It was all rocks and dead soil, which did not look like a place for burial.

"Brother, my husband, Lao Hei, and I used to sell coffins and help with burials. Based on my experience, this place is not suitable for burials at all. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Don't question my judgment, there must be something underneath!" The young man in brocade robe was very confident and insisted on continuing digging.

After digging down for more than 300 meters, they finally found an ancient tomb. The tomb was also very large. As soon as it was opened, an extremely tragic and evil aura spread out.

"Go back!"

The two men and the dog retreated quickly and rushed to the surface as fast as they could.

The evil air sealed underground, after more than ten thousand years of sedimentation, can instantly turn a person into dry bones.

"When can I go in?"

Gu Chi couldn't wait any longer. She and Lao Hei both had the golden silk of autumn silkworms to protect them, so they were not afraid of that evil aura.

"Wait a little longer, wait until the sun sets and yin and yang change, then we will go in." said the young man in brocade robe.

At this moment, Gu Chi's heart suddenly tightened. He stared at the hole leading to the underground ancient tomb and exclaimed in surprise: "It seems like something is about to rush out!"

"Rumble"

The next moment, a sound like thousands of troops galloping came from deep underground, and a cold breath gushed out from the cave entrance.

Rolling evil spirits rushed out, soon dyeing the sky black, like thick and surging dark clouds, completely covering the sky.

"There must be some ferocious creatures down there, and there seem to be a lot of them." The young man in brocade robe made an inference.

The big noise they made here naturally alarmed everyone around them, and many monks rushed over.

Shen Tu Ling, Xuan Yuan Sheng Zi, as well as the top young masters from various ancient Taoist sects and families such as Wan Yan, Dao Xuan, and Tuoba Family all rushed over.

Other sects and the descendants of the fourteen thieves also flocked to the scene at the first opportunity, and in a short while they had surrounded the burial area.

"boom"

Just as the sun was setting and night was falling, a creepy sound came from deep underground, and a rolling evil aura rushed out.

"Rumble..."

The earth shook violently, and the next moment, team after team of soldiers rushed out from the cave connected to the underground ancient tomb, with murderous aura everywhere.

These soldiers were armed with spears and iron halberds, and were wearing black armor and iron clothes that flashed with cold light.

"How can there be so many ghost soldiers?!" someone exclaimed.

However, in just a short moment, thousands of ghost soldiers rushed out, shaking the heaven and earth. The evil aura was so strong that it could not be dispelled.

Everyone was flying backwards. The number of these ghost soldiers was simply too large, and they all possessed strength comparable to that of a great Jindan stage cultivator. It was truly horrifying.

At first there were only infantry, but later, cavalry began to rush out, and they were ferocious beasts transformed from the evil energy under the ground, roaring and screaming.

On top of each ferocious beast sits a figure, holding a long spear and exuding murderous aura.

This scene is terrifying. Thousands of wild beasts gathered together, forming a large black mass that stretched across the horizon, turning into an unstoppable black steel torrent.

Nothing can stop this "torrent". Wherever the spear points, any tangible substance will be reduced to dust in an instant.

"There's probably some amazing treasure deep underground!"

Someone shouted, excited, and was the first to rush forward.

Everyone knows that there must be something big happening in this area. Even if it is not the Nine Secrets of Tianyuan, it must be extraordinary.

Under the night sky, the light shone brightly, and the monks from various forces sacrificed various spiritual weapons and magic tools to attack the evil army that was sweeping in like a flood.

"cha"

"what--!!!"

There were screams, and dozens of monks who were rushing in the front met with accidents in just one encounter. Their spiritual weapons and magic tools collapsed and shattered, and heads fell to the ground!

Thousands of infantry and cavalry rushed forward, trampling the dozens of corpses into mud. Nothing could block their way.

Everyone was flying back. Each of these ghost soldiers was very powerful, and now that they were gathered together, their momentum was truly terrifying.

"Dong", "Dong", "Dong"...

The sound of drums was heard from the ancient tomb deep in the earth!

The infantry and cavalry on the ground all took off into the air at the first moment, rushed into the sky, brandished their iron spears, and chased down many monks.

No one could remain calm. These evil soldiers were not only formidable in combat power, but also incredibly fast. There were too many cultivators gathered above this area, and it was impossible for all of them to dodge. Many people had no time to escape and had to passively fight back.

"clang", "dang", "zheng"...

The black fog surged, various lights flashed, and hundreds of cultivators fell into the encirclement. Thousands of ghost soldiers and beasts galloped past. These hundreds of people all suffered misfortune and were trampled into bloody mud and died tragically on the spot.

Of course, in this process, many ghost soldiers were killed and turned into black mist that dissipated in the sky.

"Buzz!"

The void shook, and a simple temple made of bluestone appeared across the sky above this area. A vast and hazy sound of the great way echoed from the temple, resounding through the sky.
