The top of Shadow Mountain.
Wutan stood in the square, gazing at the magnificent palace in front of him, his eyes shining with brilliance!
The power of elements surged, and suddenly, Wutan was stunned. The ground seemed to have been tempered by divine power and could not sink into the ground.
With the power gushing out and exerting force with his feet, Wutan was surprised to find that there was not even a crack.
Looking down at the ground beneath his feet, Wutan frowned. After a moment, he cast his gaze towards the palace in front of him. As his eyes flashed, his figure flashed and he rushed directly into the hall.
Since the elder said that Chi Yanzi was in the center of Daying Peak, there must be a secret passage in some corner.
If he used all his strength, destroying Daying Peak would not be a problem, but the key was that he was afraid of alerting Chi Yanzi, who would then escape from somewhere else, and all his hard work and efforts would be completely in vain.
Therefore, they had to find the secret passage silently, sneak into the underground, and catch Chi Yanzi off guard.
With his divine sense covering the entire land, Wutan carefully searched every inch of the earth, and finally his eyes locked onto a corner.
There was nothing in this place and it seemed very empty. Wutan strode over and stared for a moment. He spotted a stone brick, bent down, reached out and pressed hard. The originally flat ground suddenly collapsed.
“Boom!”
Immediately, a dull rumbling sound rang out. Wutan quickly took a few steps back, looking at the ground, his eyes unable to hide the joy in his eyes.
The stone brick he had pressed slowly moved to the side, and a hole a meter in size gradually appeared in sight. It was dark inside and one could hardly see one's fingers when one stretched out one's hand.
Staring at the secret passage intently, Wutan first calmed down his excited and restless heart, maintaining a mentality of not being shocked even if the sky fell, and then jumped down. When he entered the secret passage, the hole above immediately closed automatically, and the only remaining ray of light disappeared.
Standing in the secret passage, Wutan looked around. The secret passage was only ten feet high and one meter wide, just enough for one person to walk through. He took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.
The secret passage was arc-shaped, slightly tilted, and silent. Wutan looked calm, but secretly he was on guard, listening in all directions and looking in all directions, being extremely cautious.
Because he found that the secret passage was very dry and there was no sign of mold, and he also found some shallow footprints on the ground, which meant that people often walked in this secret passage.
Da da…
There was no other sound in the secret passage except for the footsteps and breathing. In addition, it was pitch black and the silence was so frightening that it made people feel uneasy.
After walking for about a hundred breaths, Wutan finally saw a faint light in front of him. He stopped for a moment, took a deep breath silently, and walked slowly without touching the ground, making any sound.
Finally, a stone door appeared in Wutan's sight. Above the stone door hung a thumb-sized luminous pearl. The faint light spread down, adding an atmosphere of trickery to this secret passage!
"Why is there only one breath in there?"
Wutan was secretly complaining and full of doubts. He could faintly sense a faint breath from inside the stone gate, but Shui Fengwu said very clearly that Old Su sensed two auras. What about the other one
Could something unexpected have happened during this period
Wutan will never forget Chi Yanzi's breath, but the breath behind the stone gate is obviously not his.
After pondering for a while, Wutan's face turned cold, and he pointed his finger. With a click, the stone door was instantly reduced to ashes. Then, Wutan's figure flashed, and he rushed towards the breath at lightning speed!
"who… "
“Buzz!”
As an angry roar sounded, the heaven-defying domain fell with a bang and the sound stopped abruptly. Wutan then looked and saw a big man in black staring at him with a look of surprise and suspicion.
Without saying a word, Wutan performed his soul-searching technique, and his eyes emitted a strange light. The black-clothed man's face suddenly became dull, and his eyes gradually became dull and lifeless.
"So that's how it is."
Wutan suddenly realized what was going on, and with a wave of his hand, tremendous force spread out, crushing the big man into pieces before he could even wake up. Then he took a step forward and continued to go deeper into the secret passage.
From the memory of the big man in black, it was learned that he was not the only one in the secret passage. There was a stone door at every interval, and there was a person guarding behind each door. The purpose of these people was to protect the Lord of Dark City.
The most important thing is that from the big man’s memory, Wutan saw Chi Yanzi, and he was led by the Shadow Guard Commander himself.
Because of this secret passage, apart from these guards, only the Shadow Guard Commander is qualified to enter.
"It seems that my guess was wrong. There really is a Dark City Lord in the Dark City, and his strength seems to be quite strong." Wutan muttered.
Not long after, he saw another stone door. Wutan broke the stone door with his overwhelming strength and searched the soul of the person guarding the stone door. From his memory, he saw Chi Yanzi again.
Continuing to go deeper, they broke through nine stone doors in succession and searched the souls of all nine people. All of them proved that Chi Yanzi was in a secret room at the end of the secret passage, staying with the Lord of Darkness.
"Today, I'll see where you can escape to!"
Wutan looked cold and quickened his pace. After a hundred breaths, a stone door that was twice as big as the previous one came into his sight. Without any hesitation, he punched out when he was close to the stone door!
With a loud bang, the stone door shattered, revealing a stone chamber about a hundred feet in size. In the center of the stone chamber, there were two figures sitting cross-legged, both with their backs to Wutan. However, the one on the left was a fiery red figure, so obvious that Wutan could recognize it at a glance without having to see the front. It was Chi Yanzi!
The sudden change also alarmed the two people inside. They turned around at the same time. When their true face was revealed, the old man in a fiery red robe, who else could it be but Chi Yanzi
However, after looking at Wutan, he turned to look at another person. There was deep doubt in the old eyes. It was obvious that he did not recognize Wutan's true identity!
Next to Chi Yanzi was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with long hair draped over his shoulders, a thin body, and sword-like eyebrows as black as ink. His eyes under his eyebrows were deep and distant, like two black holes, terrifying!
This person's appearance is quite ordinary. If you only look at his face, he is the kind of person that no one would remember if he was placed in a crowd. However, he has a very special temperament, like a star in the galaxy. Anything in front of him will appear dull!
"Who are you… "
The man in black frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Are you Li Feng?"
"Are you the Lord of Dark City?" Wutan asked instead of answering, and walked in step by step.
The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, I am the Lord of Dark City. I also remember your voice. You are indeed Li Feng. You can get here silently. Your strength is even stronger than what the Shadow Guard Commander described. But I am very curious, how did you know I was here?"
Wu Tian looked at the Lord of Darkness, but pointed at Chi Yanzi, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter how I know this. What matters is why he is here?"
"Do you know me?" Chi Yanzi was puzzled.
Wu Tian did not answer, but looked at the Dark City Lord calmly.
"Haha! You are a good talent. In time, you will become the strongest person in the Dark City. But you shouldn't come here, because if you come, you will not be able to go back alive." The Lord of Dark City smiled and avoided the topic.
"Yeah?"
Wutan said calmly, but a hint of suspicion flashed in the depths of his eyes. According to the Dragon King, the Dark City Lord was extremely powerful. Back then, he and the Shadow Guard Leader joined forces, and with only the two of them, they wiped out all the descendants of Sikong Lie. You can imagine how powerful he was.
Logically speaking, since he was so strong back then, his cultivation should be even higher now. However, judging from the aura emanating from this person, Wutan found that he was not much different from Jian Yi.
"I never take things lightly."
The Dark City Lord smiled and didn't give Wutan a chance to think. He pointed his finger into the air and a dark force gushed out from his fingertips like a waterfall. The power was so great and majestic that the entire secret room was shaking!
At the same time, a force of energy appeared, locked Wutan and imprisoned him in the void!
“Swish!”
Just when the power of darkness was about to attack Wujitia, he disappeared without any warning, and appeared on the other side of the stone chamber the next moment. The power of darkness passed through his original position, rushed out of the stone chamber, and slammed into the secret passage. A deafening roar suddenly rang out!
However, the Dark City Lord ignored him and just kept looking at Wutan, his eyes full of suspicion.
And in Chi Yanzi's old eyes, a hint of suspicion could be clearly seen.
"With such a big fuss, aren't you afraid that the Daying Peak will be shattered into powder with one finger, exposing your hiding place to the world?" Wutan was surprised.
The Dark City Lord said calmly, "You worry too much. This Great Shadow Peak has been set up with an imperial-level restriction by the elder. As long as you don't use all your strength, no one outside will notice anything unusual. But you can actually get rid of my pressure. It's really surprising."
"Chi Yanzi, be careful, Li Feng is Wutan!" At this moment, an angry shout suddenly exploded in the secret passage, and then, Wutan immediately felt a terrifying sharp edge coming straight at his back!
Without looking back, I knew that the person coming was the leader of the Shadow Guards!
"Wutian?"
Hearing the voice of the Shadow Guard Leader, Chi Yanzi suddenly stood up, looking at Wu Tian with bright eyes, his expression suddenly changed, and he said gloomily: "It's really you, I was wondering how there could be another person in the world who can open the Heavenly Vein, it turns out you are Wu Tian!"
Chi Yanzi looked at Wu Tian warily and shouted to the Dark City Lord: "Take me away!"
"Want to leave? I came all the way from the Samsara Continent to the Dark City just to kill you. Do you think I will give you another chance?"
Murderous aura exploded, Wutan's long hair flew, and with a wave of his hand, the God Slayer appeared immediately. The power of elements surged, and it fully revived in an instant. He raised his hand and slashed at Chi Yanzi with a sword!
Originally Wutan wanted to figure out what the relationship between Chi Yanzi and the Dark City Lord was, and what his purpose was in coming here, but he didn't expect that the Shadow Guard Commander would suddenly show up and expose his identity, completely disrupting his plan and forcing him to act early.
