Chapter 167 Xiumen, Underground Palace



Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Soul-Locking Tower in front of him, Danqing's cold eyes sank.

For the past eight hundred years since she was born with intelligence, she has been guarding the secret realm here, responsible for passing eight levels and selecting the most suitable successor to Venerable Wei Yan's skills.

However, every time she came to the Soul Locking Tower, she felt a strange sense of familiarity...

Danqing suppressed the doubts in her heart and wondered secretly, she had always assigned the most difficult tasks to the mysterious man who had sneaked in over the age limit, so how come he still managed to complete it?

How to eliminate him?

Thinking of how much Baili Chengfeng cared about Jiang Deng, Danqing's lips curled up slightly.

It’s decided. In the next level, these two will be assigned a most ‘special’ task to ensure that the mysterious man is eliminated!

Then, her figure disappeared from the Soul Locking Tower.

——

A flash of white light passed by.

Jiang Deng stepped firmly on the ground and arrived at a space completely different from the Soul Locking Tower.

The air here is dark and damp, the soil underfoot is particularly soft, and right in front of you is a cave, dark and deep, and no one knows where it leads to.

Jiang Deng raised her foot and was about to go over to take a look, when she suddenly realized something was wrong. Why didn’t the weight on her back decrease?

Could it be that...

Jiang Deng turned his head in disbelief and met the eyes of Baili Chengfeng, who looked shy.

"What a coincidence, we are at the same level again."

Jiang Deng: “…”

Thanks, but she didn't want that coincidence!

Although Chengfengren is good-looking and light, she must be very tired after carrying him for such a long time!

Jiang Deng's patience had been exhausted, and he said unhappily, "Can you go down and walk by yourself?"

“I, I…”

Baili Chengfeng showed a trace of anxiety on his face. "Don't be angry. How about you put me down first and go through the customs by yourself. I'll come find you when I've recovered."

Hearing this, Jiang Deng opened his arms without hesitation.

Bang!

Baili Chengfeng fell to the ground without any preparation.

He seemed to have been hurt from the fall, and had an aggrieved expression that was totally inconsistent with his evil and crazy appearance, looking very awkward.

Somehow, Jiang Deng felt a little reluctant, "Forget it, I can carry you and take you away, but..."

Jiang Deng looked around and saw no one else. She then looked down at the rune on her wrist and saw no disciples of the Taichu Sword Sect around.

So, at this level, it is most likely that only the two of them will be able to make it.

Realizing this, Jiang Deng immediately said, "You must change this face for me!"

Jiang Deng really hated Ye Guchen's face. Every time she saw it, it would affect her appetite. Chengfeng's face was more in line with her aesthetic taste.

"oh……"

Baili Chengfeng responded obediently.

The next moment, his aura changed.

He changed his black clothes into his moon-white spiritual clothes. He looked flawless and otherworldly. His whole body exuded a luster like the bright moonlight, illuminating this dark and damp place and dispelling the irritability in Jiang Deng's heart.

Jiang Deng nodded with satisfaction, "It looks much better this way."

Baili Chengfeng's face flushed. It turned out that Jiang Deng liked his original appearance...

Before Jiang Deng could help Baili Chengfeng up from the ground, he heard the voice of the guardian of the secret realm above his head.

"The sixth level, Dumen - Underground Palace."

Hearing this, Jiang Deng's expression became more serious.

Dumen is one of the two medium-sized gates among the eight gates.

This door is for hiding, suitable for concealing oneself, and probably not easy to pass through.

Sure enough, the Secret Realm Guardian spoke again, "In this level, your two tasks are to find the exit of the underground palace and leave. As for the cave in front of you, it is the entrance to the underground palace."

After she finished speaking, her breath disappeared, and it was obvious that she had left.

"Well, let's go."

Jiang Deng pulled Baili Chengfeng up again, carried him through the entrance, and went into the underground palace.

Boom!

As soon as he stepped into the dim cave, the entrance behind him was completely sealed.

Jiang Deng: “…”

Well, now we can’t even go back the same way. If we want to leave, we must find the exit of the underground palace.

Noticing that the environment here was unusually dark, Jiang Deng took out the lighting symbol he had drawn earlier and illuminated the surroundings.

This is a very square space, about ten meters long. Except for the moist soil on the floor and ceiling, there are stone walls made of bluestone on all sides. At first glance, there is no problem.

Jiang Deng tried to use her spiritual sense to explore through the wall, but unfortunately her spiritual sense was not strong enough to penetrate the wall.

There was no other way, Jiang Deng could only check it himself and found that two of the four stone walls could move freely, which should represent two doors.

"Which wall do you think we should push?" Jiang Deng asked Baili Chengfeng on his back.

Baili Chengfeng shook his head obediently, "I don't know."

Jiang Deng: "...then what do you know?"

Hearing this, Baili Chengfeng revealed a guilty expression, "My spiritual consciousness is extremely exhausted from controlling the golem earlier, and I can no longer explore the situation inside the underground palace."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, let's just push any door."

Jiang Deng felt more and more guilty as Baili Chengfeng talked to her, but after reflecting on it for a moment, she immediately became righteous again and even said that instead of reflecting on herself, it would be better to blame others.

If you want to blame someone, blame Baili Chengfeng for being in such poor health. He couldn't hold on for just a short while!

Jiang Deng randomly picked a stone wall and pushed it open with all his strength. When he was about to take the opportunity to get in, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly used his spiritual power to leave a white mark on the stone wall.

Her power of chaos is extremely special. Unless she is willing, it is difficult for other powers to absorb it. Not to mention staying on the wall for a while, even after thousands of years of ravages, it can still be preserved intact.

Baili Chengfeng looked at the white traces of spiritual power on the wall and blinked. Jiang Deng's spiritual power was extremely special, so special that it made him feel extremely familiar.

Bang!

After Jiang Deng walked into a new room, the stone door behind him closed heavily.

Jiang Deng controlled the lighting talisman and turned it around.

She found that this room was exactly the same as the room she had just been in, with only two walls that could be moved, but there were no marks she had made on the walls.

“…What the hell!”

Jiang Deng didn't believe it, so he pushed open another wall and entered the next room. It was exactly the same!

"Hey, I just don't accept it!"

Push it again, it’s the same!

After Jiang Deng pushed open three doors in a row, she was convinced.

Because he pushed three doors in a row and the space behind each door was the same, Jiang Deng finally pushed open the fourth door without any expectation.

Sure enough, it was the same room again.

But there was one difference, because in the room she entered for the last time, she found the mark she had left on the wall at the beginning.

In other words, they were back in the same room as before!

On his back, Baili Chengfeng asked anxiously, "Jiang Deng, how are we supposed to leave?"
