C116 Hidden Underground Secret

After helping Qiu Luh and the others, Chu Tian didn't lead them forward. Instead, he helped them leave the underground river. When they saw the light of day once more, they were all touched.

"Fellow disciples, I still have important matters to attend to. I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany you all to Hundred Mile City. However, as long as you all report my name to Hundred Mile City, I believe that there will naturally be someone who will come to pick you up." Chu Tian said.

"Chu Tian, are you pursuing an army of ten thousand people?" Qiu Luh asked.

"Do you have any clues?" Chu Tian asked in surprise.

"Actually, it's not really a clue. We are in the lower reaches of the underground river, so we saw a team of more than ten thousand people pass by from above. I heard that they were chasing after some evil cult members." Qiu Luh said.

The others nodded. Obviously, they had heard about this before. Chu Tian frowned and pondered for a while.

He had never heard of any evil sect in Cloud Rising Country, but now that he thought about it carefully, this was indeed a problem worth pondering.

Chu Tian had seen many countries before. Even the most prosperous empires had evil sects. As the saying goes, good and evil cannot exist together. It was precisely because of the existence of both sides that the balance was maintained.

However, there would not be such an existence in Cloud Rising Country. Evil sects did not exist at all. This was really too strange.

"Do you know where they went?" Chu Tian asked.

"Chu Tian, West Liang King's army is very powerful. If you are alone, I am afraid you will be in danger." Qiu Luh said.

"Don't worry. I know what to do. Besides, I also want to see if there are any disciples of Pill Cauldron Sword Sect in the deeper parts of the underground river. At that time, we will be able to save them from their suffering." Chu Tian said.

Everyone felt a warmth in their hearts when they heard Chu Tian's words. Although the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect no longer existed, Chu Tian still had this kind of friendship with them.

After that, Qiu Luh and the others told Chu Tian everything they knew. Although they also mentioned that they wanted to act together with Chu Tian, Chu Tian could tell that they were not speaking the truth.

Now, they wanted to find a perfect place to rest and recuperate. Naturally, Chu Tian rejected their suggestion. After that, he sent the people of Pill Cauldron Sword Sect away with his eyes.

After that, he jumped into the underground river once again, and Jian Fengling was still following behind Chu Tian.

"Father, carry me!"

After entering the underground river, because Jian Fengling was afraid of the dark, he naturally let Chu Tian carry her. Chu Tian could only helplessly nod and agree.

Jian Fengling's strength was not bad. With the latter following him, if something really happened that he could not deal with, Jian Fengling could be considered to have a helper.

Along the way, Chu Tian had also witnessed Jian Fengling's ability to sense things. The latter was able to sense enemies that he couldn't detect, which was the most important thing.

In the dark underground river, Chu Tian's figure was like a ghostly figure as he sped along.

Along the way, Chu Tian finally saw how big the underground river was. With his speed, he was afraid that he had already traveled a hundred miles.

However, there was still no end to this canal. Just as Chu Tian was about to continue moving forward, Jian Fengling spoke at the right time.

"Father, there's a sound underground."

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and stopped walking. After that, he knocked on the ground with his finger. Sure enough, the sound was quite clear. It should be an empty layer below.

In such a dark place, it was not so easy to find such a secret door. If it wasn't for Jian Fengling, perhaps even Chu Tian wouldn't have been able to detect it.

After searching the ground for a while, Chu Tian finally found a protruding spot. He then pulled upwards and a secret passage leading to the underground appeared in front of Chu Tian.

Chu Tian was ready at any time. If there was a trap in the secret passage, he could react at any time. However, there was no trap in the underground.

He was afraid that no one would have thought that there would be enemies chasing him to this place.

Chu Tian carefully moved forward, holding his breath. At this time, a dim light came from the end of the secret passage. Chu Tian knew that he was not far from the exit, so he was even more careful. As for Jian Fengling, he still obediently stayed on his back.

Chu Tian was afraid that this girl would do whatever she wanted. It would be troublesome if she alerted him.

As they got closer, Chu Tian heard the familiar sound of whips hitting the ground. He carefully peeked inside the secret tunnel. There was a huge hole under the underground river.

Inside the pit, many figures were flashing. Chu Tian saw many figures in prison clothes. They were working under the pressure of the soldiers. They were similar to the people from the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect just now.

However, Chu Tian was soon attracted by the center of the hole. It was a steel Giant Beast with huge tusks that could easily tear a mountain apart.

The entire Giant Beast was made of steel. It was hard to imagine that such a huge thing could move.

"Could it be a Mechanical Beast? There's actually such a huge Mechanical Beast? Could this be West Liang King's means?" Chu Tian felt quite shocked.

He was naturally clear about the matter of making dead things move, but such a huge Mechanical Beast was definitely not something that could be moved by a single person's strength. Perhaps, even a Life Death Stage warrior would be devoured by it in an instant.

Chu Tian began to carefully examine this Mechanical Beast. His eyes narrowed slightly as he kept scanning the Mechanical Beast's body. The more he observed Chu Tian, the more shocked he became.

Chu Tian found it hard to believe that there was actually someone so crazy. The power of this fifty-meter long Giant Beast was provided by the Spirit Stone.

The so-called Spirit Stone was a stone that was nurtured by the heaven and earth and was filled with spirit energy. A natural Spirit Stone like this was naturally very rare. Moreover, the amount of spirit energy within it was also quite small.

West Liang King captured the cultivators and let them absorb the spiritual energy from the heaven and earth. Then, he poured the spiritual energy into the Spirit Stone to obtain the Spirit Stone.

However, this process had a huge impact on the cultivation of the cultivators. It might cause them to lose their cultivation realm, but this wasn't enough to shock Chu Tian.

What really infuriated Chu Tian was the formation on the Mechanical Beast's body. It was the Ten Thousand Spirit Soul Devouring Formation.

In Chu Tian's opinion, the Spirit Stone was just a basic ability that allowed the Mechanical Beast to move. And... After arriving at the battlefield, the Mechanical Beast would activate the Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Array. It would continuously devour the living beings on the battlefield to obtain power.

Perhaps with the existence of such a Mechanical Beast, even if the enemy had tens of thousands of troops, they wouldn't be able to do anything. This Mechanical Beast was a killing machine.

"Young man, this kind of place is not a place you can trespass on your own."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Chu Tian. When Chu Tian heard this voice, he thought to himself, This is bad. I am too obsessed with that Mechanical Beast. I have neglected to guard my surroundings.

Chu Tian wanted to act as soon as possible, but his reaction was a step too slow. The old man's palm was flickering with a black light. It was most likely a poisonous palm.

"Don't bully my father!"

At this moment, Jian Fengling who was standing behind Chu Tian thrust his palm at the old man. The old man was startled for a moment, then a cruel smile emerged on his face.

"Little girl, you are courting death!"

The old man's palm didn't stop. At this moment, Jian Fengling and the old man exchanged a palm strike. In the next moment, the face of the old man, who had a confident smile on his face, changed.

At this moment, the black poisonous light on his palm had completely disappeared, and it was still being devoured. The old man was shocked and immediately retreated.

"Little girl, what did you do?" The old man frowned and looked at his hand.

At this time, Chu Tian had already used the Shapeshifting Shadow to quickly bring Jian Fengling out of the secret passage.

"I told you to bully my father. If you come again, I won't be polite." Jian Fengling waved his little fist and said.

The old man watched Chu Tian and Jian Fengling leave in silence. He had no intention of chasing them. When he saw the two of them leave, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood from his chest. His expression kept changing.

"Elder, are you alright? What happened?"

At this moment, due to the fluctuation of the energy just now, many figures had appeared beside the secret passage. The Qi on their bodies was not weak, and they were definitely not Ordinary People.

"Some rat took the opportunity to run in." The old man said coldly.

"What!? Someone is so bold. We can't let him live. Our plan hasn't been completed yet. Elder, please let us chase after him. We won't be a disgrace."

"Hmph! You ignorant brats, this Cloud Rising Country isn't as simple as you think it is. There is always someone better than you. One of the two girls just now was not easy to deal with. I have already suffered a loss in that short exchange just now. I never thought that after destroying the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect... I have to inform them that no trouble is allowed in the future. As long as our plan is completed, the Cloud Rising Country will be ours. " The old man said coldly.

"Understood!"

Everyone immediately knelt down and saluted.
