"There are traces of a battle here!"
Suddenly, Lu Chen's footsteps paused. There were broken rocks everywhere in front of him, and there were still extremely dense energy undulations coming from them. If it wasn't for Zhou Tong's group, then it would be the last mysterious person who attacked.
"It doesn't look like an ordinary rock, but more like some kind of stone puppet." Lu Chen walked up and examined it for a moment, and then pondered a little. These crushed stones were strange, but they were different from ordinary stones. They contained some specially made small array mechanisms, and if put together, they looked like a human's figure.
As Lu Chen slowly advanced, more and more stone puppets' remains appeared. It could be predicted that a fierce battle had broken out here, and judging from the Qi that was left behind on the remains, these stone puppets' fighting strength should be extraordinary. They should at least have the fighting strength of the First Layer Of Sect Master.
Lu Chen's speed was not fast. It took him close to two hours before he finally reached the depths of the cave. This place was completely different from what he had imagined; the ground was extremely open and compared to the cave, it was more like a passage.
"What a big underground karst cave. If I'm not wrong, this should be the heart of the mountain." It was fortunate that the cold yin energy here was even richer, the effect of his Arcane Arts of Stealth had increased by more than several times. Even if it was a high level martial arts Sect Master Expert, as long as they were not within ten meters of him, it would be difficult to discover his traces.
"He Sanniang, have you gone mad?"
"She actually colluded with outsiders and plotted against Eldest Miss." At this moment, a low berating voice sounded out in front of them. This voice was not unfamiliar to Lu Chen. It was Meng Zhi, who had captured him previously.
"As expected, they are here." "Lu Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp light and his movements became a bit lighter, like a light and vigorous ape. From a distance, he seemed like a shadow as he slowly moved forward while sticking to the wall. Under the cover of the cold energy that was like a thick fog, it would be hard to notice him if he didn't pay careful attention.
This place was extremely spacious, as if it was an underground world. The dense cold Yin energy formed clusters of black fog that spread out with the help of the airflow.
At the same time, at the center of the cave, there was a gigantic and sinister skeleton. Although it was a few hundred feet tall, and one could not tell what kind of Demonic Beast it was, but from the skeleton, there was still the terrifying aura of a prehistoric giant beast, and the surrounding ground, under the effect of this aura, had collapsed a few inches of rock that was as hard as black gold. On the other side of the Demonic Beast skeleton, sat a human-shaped skeleton.
The most eye-catching thing was the copper bell that floated beside the human-shaped skeleton. Even though it had undergone a baptism of time, it was still completely new. There was even a faint glow on its surface that was like dancing flames that illuminated most of the cave.
Directly below the bell was an extremely beautiful woman. She appeared to be in her twenties, with fair skin and delicate features. Her exquisite figure was wrapped in a black dress, but it was hard to conceal the sexy curves within.
The lady was none other than Zhou Tong. However, at this moment, she seemed to have entered an exceptionally mysterious state. Her eyes were tightly shut, and a faint glow appeared on her skin. Not far away, Meng Zhi and several guards were guarding behind her. They were in a confrontation with the mysterious person and Old Woman.
In terms of numbers, Meng Zhi and the others had the advantage, but Old Woman, who was called Sanniang, was not much weaker than Meng Zhi. Plus, with the unfathomable mysterious man, they were in an extremely disadvantageous situation.
"Plotting against you?"
"It's just that their positions are different. What's the point?" The face of Old Woman, who was called He Sanniang, was extremely ugly. She did not say anything, but the mysterious person next to her let out a cold laugh and casually said.
To be precise, he was staring at the bronze bell above Zhou Tong's head. The rumors were right, if this item really was left here, it would be a piece of cake for him to find it. From the moment he appeared here, Zhou Tong, Meng Zhi, and the others were destined to meet their end.
"Who the hell are you?"
Meng Zhi had traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. He had already exchanged blows with this mysterious person just now, but his cultivation, which was already at the peak of the martial arts Seventh Layer Of Sect Master, was actually unable to block two random attacks from the other party. His strength was simply unfathomable, and he originally wanted to ask He Sanniang to change his mind.
"You don't need to know who I am."
"Now, I will only give you two choices. The first is to submit, and the second …"
"It means death."
The corner of his mouth maintained the curve from beginning to end. In his opinion, today's plans had progressed very smoothly, and he would not only get the copper bell, but he would also be able to make this Miss Zhou Family, Zhou Tong, stay here forever.
Hearing this, Meng Zhi and a few of his men tensed up. Facing the unfathomable mysterious man, it was impossible for them to not be afraid at all.
"If I'm willing to submit, what benefits can you give me?" Meng Zhi suddenly said after a moment of silence.
Hearing his words, He Sanniang, who was originally silent, revealed a sneer on her face. It seemed that even Meng Zhi, who was loyal to the Zhou Family, found it difficult to maintain his backbone in the face of death, causing her to feel even more that she did not feel any guilt betraying Zhou Tong. After all, it was a very normal instinct for people to have the desire to survive when facing death.
"Benefits?"
"The advantage is that you don't have to die, and you can break through to an even stronger realm in the shortest amount of time." With regards to Meng Zhi's sudden change, the mysterious man was both surprised and satisfied, so he promised him what he could give temporarily. Although his cultivation realm was a lot higher than the former, but a high level martial arts Sect Master Expert was not so easy to deal with, even if he could kill Meng Zhi, he would have to pay a certain price.
Furthermore, Meng Zhi's current strength was a lot stronger than He Sanniang's, just a step away from breaking through to the Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master. As for the master behind him, his value would definitely be a bit higher, and if he could subdue him, then the reward he would receive should be even more than what he imagined.
