293: The Flying Young Master
Seeing the exuberant joy of his subordinates, Zhu Huan was also beaming. He was about to call Zhu Nan to report, but when he picked up his phone, he found there was no signal here. He couldn't help but frown; it seemed he would need to add a signal terminal.
But adding a signal terminal in this place, suspended between heaven and earth, was no easy task. Moreover, the prerequisite here was concealment, so he had to carefully consider where to build it.
"Alright, hurry up and install a gate at the gap. Pay attention to the external camouflage; it must blend in perfectly with the surroundings, understand?" Zhu Huan said.
"Understood!" There were skilled craftsmen within the team, and they immediately set to work according to Zhu Huan's requirements... Zhu Huan turned and left, flashing out of a ventilation duct halfway to report the news to Zhu Nan.
"I was just about to contact you!" Zhu Nan said excitedly upon hearing the news.
"Oh? What business does the Chief Steward have with me?" Zhu Huan asked.
"The Young Lord—well, the Ninth Young Master—will arrive at the Sinkhole soon. Send him your current location and then just follow his instructions!"
"Yes! May I ask for the Ninth Young Master's contact information?"
"..."
Shortly after Zhu Huan sent the message using the contact information provided by Zhu Nan, two figures flew in from the distant horizon and stopped before him with a "swish," giving him quite a fright!
Being able to fly through the air, their cultivation was definitely above his. If he hadn't seen that one of them was the Chief Steward Zhu Nan, his first reaction would likely have been to flee for his life. Looking at the person next to Zhu Nan, he knew at a glance that this must be the Ninth Young Master, as he looked far too much like Prince Fu in his youth!
Zhu Huan had watched Prince Fu transform from a handsome young man into the fat pig he was today. He hurriedly bowed and said, "This servant, Zhu Huan, greets the Young Lord!!!"
Long Yuan was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and smiled, "No need for such formality, Commander! Quickly, take us inside to have a look!"
"Yes! Young Lord!!!"
The three of them quickly entered the underground passage. Long Yuan saw that although this passage had been opened in a short time, it was not crude overall. Not only were the walls reinforced, but there were also designs for seepage prevention, poison prevention, anti-prying, and ventilation. Even the lighting System extended all the way, mainly thanks to a stone called Moonlight Stone, which naturally emitted a faint glow, making the entire passage quite bright and free of any eerie or terrifying feeling.
Since the passage was within South Yue City, although they encountered many disturbances from exotic beasts during the excavation process, the overall threat was not great and had been wiped out by the Personal Guard. Thus, the current safety factor of the passage was extremely high.
Seeing such an underground passage, Long Yuan was quite shocked. If such a project were on Earth, it would be absolutely impossible to complete in just over a month, let alone by manual labor. But on Blue Star, it was completed by ten thousand members of the Personal Guard through manual excavation in just over a month. Such an achievement was nothing short of a miracle!
Of course, this was also due to the full support of the Prince Fus Mansion; it would likely be impossible for any other power to achieve such high efficiency.
The three of them moved extremely fast and soon reached the cliff gap that had just been opened, which was now blocked by a stone door.
Pulling the stone door inward, one could see that the outer wall of the door appeared as a rough stone surface, a camouflage to blend in with the outside world. A strong gust of wind blew in, making everyone's robes rustle loudly!
Long Yuan extended his Divine Sense and could see the Sinkhole outside the door. His eyes lit up, and he shouted in his heart, "I'm rich! I've hit the jackpot!"
This Sinkhole indeed did not disappoint; as far as the eye could see, it was filled with dense waste materials, almost submerging the top of the pit!
No one knew exactly how large or deep this Sinkhole was, but the amount of trash that could fill the entire pit was massive!
Long Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Commander, you've just broken through; why don't you take a break? After resting, you can proceed according to the blueprints. I might have to go out and handle some matters before coming back."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huan hurriedly said, "Young Lord, we don't need to rest! Next, we will follow the blueprints and first dig a passage downwards!"
"That's right, we don't need to rest!"
"Don't worry, Young Lord, we're in top shape!"
"It's just digging; it's nothing to us..." the other members of the Personal Guard chimed in.
Long Yuan hadn't expected these people to work even harder than those on Earth who enjoyed the "996 blessing," and it was heartfelt. Naturally, he didn't want to dampen their spirits, so he nodded and said to Zhu Nan, "Everyone is working so hard and with such enthusiasm, so double the rewards!"
After saying that, he flew directly out of the stone door and vanished in an instant... "What?!!!"
"The Young Lord just flew out like that?!" Seeing this, many of the Personal Guard members' eyes widened in disbelief, utterly shocked.
Zhu Huan was also startled and quickly leaned out of the stone door to check, only to find that Long Yuan was indeed flying through the air, quickly disappearing into the distant horizon... "The Young Lord... he really flew out!!!" Zhu Huan said with a trembling voice.
Zhu Nan said proudly from the side, "Do you even need to say it? This Chief Steward already knew the Young Lord could fly. Moreover, the Young Lord even took me with him to fly over a large lake! That wonderful feeling of flying is something you guys can't experience!"
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!"
Hearing Zhu Nan's confirmation, all the Personal Guard members became excited, unable to hide their agitation. To their knowledge, Xuan Practitioners could not truly fly; they needed to borrow force, and this was only possible after reaching the Martial Grandmaster level. Even the Martial King combat power displayed by the three major countries like the Snow Eagle Country recently seemed to require a slight reliance on objects to walk on air, except they could cross greater distances in the air than ordinary Xuan Practitioners and stay aloft longer.
But for Long Yuan to achieve true flight at such a young age indicated that he had at least the potential of a Martial King or higher. With such a Young Lord, the future of the Prince Fus Mansion would surely not be bad!
In fact, the people of the Personal Guard were basically all aware of the Prince Fus Mansion's current situation. They were willing to join the Personal Guard at the cost of their personal futures or even their lives, not only because of the loyalty cultivated since childhood and their unavoidable difficulties but also because they wanted to gamble on whether the Prince Fus Mansion could find a way to survive. After all, the Prince Fus Mansion had already realized the crisis and begun to take action. With the residence's vast wealth, the chance of survival was not small. Now, seeing the astonishing potential Long Yuan displayed, they saw hope—the hope of the Prince Fus Mansion's future rise. In their simple way of thinking, with Long Yuan's immense potential coupled with the residence's financial resources, it was estimated that a Martial Commander-level combat power could soon be built up. For the Prince Fus Mansion, as long as they had a Martial Commander-level combat power, the crisis would be greatly reduced, or even completely disappear...
