18: Unexpected

"Let's keep looking inside!"

Since they were already here, they might as well make the best of it.

Standing here wouldn't get them out, so they might as well go in and see.

The two followed Da Huang, walking slowly toward the interior.

Until they entered a main hall of the underground palace, where they saw the magnificent interior with carved beams and painted rafters.

They couldn't help but marvel at it.

"This kind of grandeur is rarely matched even a thousand years later!"

Zi Yun said this with deep emotion.

Unlike Chen Xian, whose eyes were only fixed on worldly things like gold.

Zi Yun, after all, had lived in the Yaochi Immortal Palace since childhood, the finest flower in a greenhouse.

Although simple-minded, her eyes were incredibly sharp.

With just a glance.

She could tell that the items in this hall were no ordinary objects.

Chen Xian chimed in, "How are they not ordinary? They look like gold, silver, and jewelry to me!"

"Hmph!"

Zi Yun looked at him as if he were a country bumpkin.

She casually pointed to a piece of charcoal under a Pill Furnace.

"This is no ordinary charcoal; it's made from ten-thousand-year-old wood roasted by the Fire of Heaven and Earth. One sniff can clear the turbid Qi in your body. Two sniffs can break through Heart Demons..."

"Such things are rare even in our Yaochi Immortal Palace now, yet they are everywhere here."

Just as Zi Yun finished speaking.

She saw that Chen Xian had already pulled out a large bag.

She was startled by him.

"What are you doing?"

"Packing it!"

Chen Xian said excitedly.

According to what Zi Yun said, even if he didn't use such good things himself, selling them on the black market would be excellent.

Zi Yun: "..."

"Taking things from a tomb is a great sign of disrespect to the dead!"

Chen Xian scoffed.

"Weren't you also hoping to come in and get a Legacy?"

"Isn't that also taking things from a tomb?"

Zi Yun argued, "That's different. I'm only here for the Opportunity, not for treasures. Put it down quickly!"

Chen Xian had already picked up the charcoal from the ground.

"Tsk, you really don't know the struggle of the common man."

"You've never lived through poor days!"

Zi Yun: "..."

"Da Huang, don't just stand there. Swallow whatever you can quickly; we're going to be fucking rich!"

"When the time comes, I'll call over all the female Yao Beasts in the Jubei City Prefecture, and you can take your pick!"

Chen Xian had the complete look of a nouveau riche.

"Pfft, do you think Da Huang would be as shallow as you?"

Just as Zi Yun finished speaking, Da Huang barked and swallowed the nearby Pill Furnace in one gulp.

Zi Yun: "..."

That face-slapping came a bit too fast.

But just then.

The palace suddenly shook violently.

Then, a phantom appeared on a chair in the hall.

"Who dares to be so insolent here?"

Seeing this phantom.

Both Chen Xian and Zi Yun felt their hearts skip a beat.

It was like a thief stealing from someone's house being caught by the owner.

"Senior, we are just passing through and accidentally disturbed you. Please forgive us!"

Chen Xian said quickly and cleverly.

He couldn't very well say, "I thought your stuff looked nice, so I'm packing it up!"

Especially given the other party's tone, it was clear they were not someone to be trifled with.

"Passing through? Are you Disciples of the Joyous Union Sect?"

Hearing the phantom's words, Chen Xian nodded repeatedly.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes. This Disciple is indeed a Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect."

This was the hall of the Joyous Union Sect, so this phantom must also be a Senior of the Joyous Union Sect.

Chen Xian gave Zi Yun a look.

Zi Yun also said repeatedly, "This Disciple is also a Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect!"

Just as the two finished speaking.

"Are you really?"

"Yes, this Disciple is."

Chen Xian even tried to be clever.

He said haltingly, "When the Joyous Union Sect met with disaster, our father was lucky enough to escape, so he was spared. Coming here today, though passing through, was also to pay our respects!"

"So, your father is still alive?"

"Reporting to Senior, our father has already passed away!"

Since the old man was already dead.

He might as well use him. He hoped the old man wouldn't blame him from the other side.

After all, he was technically his son.

Chen Xian thought to himself.

Zi Yun also nodded along.

What they said now didn't matter; staying alive was the most important thing.

The Aura shown by this phantom was definitely not that of an ordinary person!

In this situation, it was better not to go head-to-head.

But at this moment, the phantom burst into loud laughter.

"Good, good, good!"

"The Joyous Union Sect actually has descendants!"

"That bitch actually has descendants!"

Chen Xian and Zi Yun looked up almost simultaneously, their faces full of confusion.

"Huh???"

"Back then, that bitch lusted after this Deity and dared to dream of practicing the Sect's secret technique with me. I shattered her Primordial Spirit and wiped out the Sect with a single palm strike!"

"I didn't expect this evil Sect to still have successors!"

Hearing this, Chen Xian and Zi Yun's expressions changed drastically.

Wait, man!

Is this right?

This phantom wasn't a Senior of the Joyous Union Sect.

From the sounds of it, he was their enemy?

Chen Xian's brain was practically smoking from thinking so hard.

"Se-se-Senior! We were wrong just now. We aren't Disciples of the Joyous Union Sect. We have nothing to do with this Sect!"

"Heh, do you take this Deity for a fool?"

"Since you are from the Joyous Union Sect, you all deserve to die!"

The Aura on the phantom's body was suddenly released.

In an instant, Chen Xian and Zi Yun felt breathless, suppressed by a majestic force.

The two were almost unable to move.

"Senior, we are not..."

"Shut up!"

The phantom roared.

"Since your Joyous Union Sect loves using affairs between men and women to increase cultivation, and you are brother and sister, then this Deity will fulfill your desires!"

Chen Xian and Zi Yun heard this.

They shook their heads frantically, and Zi Yun's face even turned pale with fear.

"Senior, you absolutely must not!"

They weren't brother and sister.

But at this moment, no matter how they explained, it was almost futile.

The next second.

Their mouths were forced open.

Two Medicinal Pills fell into their mouths.

"Enjoy yourselves!"

After the phantom spoke, he vanished into the air.

Chen Xian and Zi Yun felt their consciousness slowly fading.

Along with it came a burning heat rising from within their bodies.

The two couldn't help but embrace each other.

Meanwhile, Da Huang covered his eyes and ears with his paws.

At the same time!

Within the Secret Realm.

The slaughter by the Demonic Cultivators continued.

Whether they were Cultivators from the Southern Continent or the Da Gan Dynasty, almost none with low strength were spared.

At the entrance to the Fearless Sword Saint's Ancient Tomb.

Liu Ruyan was leading the Cultivators of the Da Gan Dynasty, facing off against a group of Demonic Cultivators in a tense standoff.

"What is your business here in my North Continent?"

"If you don't explain clearly, none of you will leave today!"

"Jie jie jie, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage dares to dream of stopping us. How truly naive!"

Liu Ruyan said coldly, "The experts of the Da Gan Dynasty are already on their way. Your end has come!"
