Song Yasi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger! The Liu clan did indeed build a refuge here to escape our pursuit! But now they are gone. I believe there must be a passage around this iron plate and iron pillar structure!"
Zhan Qingyun knew this wasn't the time to get angry! At least Song Yasi was right; there really was a place down there where people were hiding!
"Everyone, jump down and search your surroundings carefully. Don't overlook any suspicious places!"
Nearly a hundred people jumped into the deep pit to search carefully! After a moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Zhan Sheng! Something's wrong here!"
Zhan Qingyun, the Great Sage with Double Swords, rushed over to take a look and found that the entrance to the cave was filled with loose soil and sand!
"I never imagined these Liu clan members were so cunning! There's another passage here, dig it open quickly!"
Zhan Qingyun roared, and the Liu clan members hiding in the passage vaguely heard his command!
Liu Piaopiao was deathly pale and trembling in the dark underground passage!
Lin Caogen quickly pulled her into his arms, and she finally felt a little relieved.
A group of people started digging in the tunnel with shovels. Sure enough, after digging for two hundred meters, a narrow and dark tunnel appeared in front of them!
Zhan Qingyun was so excited that he wanted to rush in and find out what was going on!
Just then, Song Yasi said, "Zhan Sheng, you mustn't act rashly! What if there are hidden weapons or traps here? We can send one of my men to investigate first! His name is Shi Qian, one of the 72 Earthly Fiends. Although his cultivation is only that of an ordinary Grandmaster, he is agile and swift as a rabbit! He is most suitable for this mission!"
Shi Qian cursed inwardly! How could I possibly dodge in this narrow passage? What use was my agility?
However, circumstances are beyond one's control. Now that Song Yasi is the leader of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, he has no choice but to do as he is told!
Shi Qian carefully lit a torch and entered the underground passage alone!
Lin Caogen could see a fire in the distance, which meant someone was coming to scout ahead!
"Brother Liu! I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you! You use the Overlord Spear, and I'll unleash the Killing Domain to help you when it matters most!"
Liu Gongquan nodded; that was the only option at the moment.
Lin Caogen and Liu Gongquan were seen sneaking along the passage towards the light!
Soon the stone path advanced five hundred meters, getting closer to Liu Gongquan and Lin Caogen!
Shi Qian was, after all, a powerful expert at the third level of the Immortal Sect, and he didn't take the Liu clan members seriously at all! Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to go in even if he had a hundred lives!
Lin Caogen and Liu Gongquan held their breath, waiting for Shiqian to approach!
The distance was getting closer and closer, and soon only three meters away!
For some reason, Shi Qian's heart was beating faster and faster, and he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen!
Just as he cautiously took another step forward, Lin Caogen suddenly released his killing domain, and the entire underground passage was covered in blood-red light!
Shi Qian's legs went weak, and he felt that more than 90% of his cultivation had been suppressed!
Lin Caogen's killing domain is incredibly effective against those below the Immortal Saint level, providing overwhelming suppression!
Liu Gongquan acted decisively, appearing directly from around the corner and thrusting a gun into Shi Qian's chest!
The shot was as fast as lightning. Although Shi Qian had already put up a defensive shield on his body, after his cultivation was suppressed, Liu Gongquan pierced through it as easily as if he were putting through tofu!
Then Liu Gongquan pulled back his spear and thrust it again, piercing Shi Qian's head!
Song Yass sensed that something ominous had happened in the cave!
He shouted, "Brothers of Shiqian! Brothers of Shiqian!"
However, no one answered his cries!
Zhan Qingyun and Song Yasi looked at each other in bewilderment!
Song Yasi exclaimed, "Master Zhan! There really are traps and mechanisms here! Brother Shiqian hasn't responded; he's probably already been assassinated!"
Zhan Qingyun angrily said, "What should we do? This cave is narrow, and Shi Qian has been murdered. Who should we send now?"
Song Yasi hurriedly said, "Sage Zhan! Why not send Lu Yi? He is the second-ranked disciple among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, and his cultivation has reached the 8th level of Immortal Venerable, second only to me!"
Zhan Qingyun said, "Alright! Lu Yi! You're skilled and daring! Go in and see what's going on! Remember! Maximize your defensive shields! And while you're at it, put on my chainmail too!"
After saying that, Zhan Qingyun personally took off his chainmail and struck Lu Yi with it!
Lu Yi was moved to tears and knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Master Zhan! I will live up to your expectations and go to find the thief!"
After saying that, Lu Yi took the short knife and entered the passage!
Upon hearing footsteps, Lin Caogen and Liu Gongquan knew that someone else must be coming!
Liu Gongquan thought to himself, "Judging from the footsteps and breathing, the person who came must be a master! This time I must kill them with one blow and use all my strength!"
Soon Lu Yi reached the center of the passage, and he was getting closer and closer to Lin Caogen and Liu Gongquan!
Suddenly, he raised his torch and saw a corpse on the ground!
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Shiqian!
"Damn it! He was pierced through the chest and skull by a single spear! Judging from the gunshot wound, it seems to have been caused by the Overlord Spear! That is also a top-tier Heaven-rank weapon, only slightly inferior to the Peerless Sword! If I could obtain the Overlord Spear, it would be an immense stroke of luck!"
With that thought in mind, Lu Yi activated his defensive shield to its maximum, and a 60-centimeter-thick layer of Yuan Qi enveloped him completely. The entire passage was crushed as Lu Yi moved forward!
Stepping over Shi Qian's corpse, Lu Yi took another twenty steps forward. He was at the peak of the 8th level of Immortal Venerable. Even if someone in this passage ambushed him, what could they do?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lower his guard!
Just as he was about to take a step forward, Lin Caogen suddenly released the Killing Domain, the Fox Emperor's Imperial Might, and the Phoenix Divine Might!
