CHAPTER 353: CHAPTER 198: DEEP IN THE UNDERGROUND PALACE_2

Meanwhile, the number of Haotao Sect members and loose cultivators had dwindled significantly, leaving only seven hundred people.

The Haotao Sect suffered the least losses, retaining more than a hundred members.

It’s safe to say that the Haotao Sect is currently the biggest winner.

Wang Zi and the three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators by his side were radiant with joy.

This time, the plan was well executed!

They utilized these loose cultivators and achieved a plan that killed two birds with one stone.

The Wang Family and Ma Family were completely ruined. As long as they were trapped in the underground passage and annihilated, both families would be thoroughly destroyed.

The Haotao Sect and the loose cultivators guarded the entrance of the cave, observing the situation, and seeing that the other side would not charge out,

they started to scramble for the spoils of war.

During this process, the Haotao Sect was exceedingly generous, not contesting any items that the loose cultivators claimed first.

This act made the loose cultivators very satisfied.

"A bunch of fools!"

Li Yunjing watched with cold eyes, a sneer playing on his lips.

Does the Haotao Sect really not contend?

They are just waiting to fully utilize the loose cultivators and then eliminate them to claim all the spoils for themselves!

Such petty schemes could hardly escape the notice of a genius like Li Yunjing.

Of course, there were also cunning people among the loose cultivators, some of which included Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, mingling within the crowd.

These people had their own calculations, and ultimately, it would depend on each one’s abilities to see who would devour whom.

"Brother Li, Madam Li, are you alright?"

At this moment, Prince Tingtao approached the two with a smile, making inquiries after their well-being.

However, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes—Li Wutian was actually still alive!

"Haha! Thank you for your concern, Prince Tingtao! We are fine!"

Li Yunjing laughed heartily, yet inwardly sneered: "This brat is eager for my early demise, isn’t he?"

"Even if you die, I won’t!"

"It’s good that you’re fine! It’s good that you’re fine!"

Prince Tingtao squeezed out a faint smile and continued, "Once we enter the cave, you’ll need to be extra cautious."

"Thanks for your concern!"

Li Yunjing replied perfunctorily.

The two engaged in idle conversation, while Yu Yunyi remained silent, which somewhat frustrated Prince Tingtao.

This Madam Li actually ignored him, who was renowned for his handsome appearance and charm!

A quarter of an hour later, all the wealth had been divided among the loose cultivators.

The Haotao Sect organized everyone again and proceeded into the cave!

The real action was about to begin, and Prince Tingtao reluctantly left Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, returning to the Haotao Sect’s ranks.

When the Haotao Sect and the loose cultivators pursued into the cave, Li Yunjing realized that it was not hot; instead, it was somewhat damp and chilly.

The four walls of the cave were excavated from a kind of black rock.

"Dong dong dong!"

Li Yunjing tapped the stone wall with his fingers, producing a dull sound. The stone was incredibly hard, much harder than the most common granite of the Great Ming Dynasty.

The entire underground passage twisted downward, and it was extremely dark and narrow. After pursuing for three miles, they still hadn’t reached the end.

According to Li Yunjing’s calculations, they seemed to be walking down a sloped path, heading deep into the seabed.

However, the eerie whistling sound of the wind emanating from the cave puzzled Li Yunjing—where could this wind come from underwater?

This peculiarity piqued Li Yunjing’s curiosity.

He and Yu Yunyi showed no sign of fear.

Both Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were skilled in Water Divine Techniques and did not worry about their safety in the seabed.

Even if the cave collapsed, the two would not be in any danger.

The inside of the passage remained shrouded in thick mist and heavy darkness. After pursuing another ten miles, Li Yunjing faintly saw a massive stone gate sealing off the passage.

In front of the stone gate were the remaining members of the Wang Family and Ma Family, including Wang Yangyan and Ma Zehui, fiercely resisting the Haotao Sect and the loose cultivators’ attacks.

However, at this point, these people were like fish in a barrel, with no way to escape.

After half an hour, the loose cultivators and the Haotao Sect men paid with another three hundred lives to finally eliminate six Foundation Establishment Realm experts and four Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivators.

Trapped at a dead end, even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could not withstand the onslaught of seven hundred Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators!

In such a scenario, even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of the Shenxiao Dao Sect would be powerless to reverse the situation.

However, the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of the Shenxiao Dao Sect had terrifying lethality!

If these loose cultivators were to encircle and kill Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, there wouldn’t be many of them left.

"Sigh..."

Seeing the passage now filled with corpses, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi shook their heads slightly.

Without much help from the Haotao Sect, the loose cultivators enthusiastically cleared the area of corpses, retrieving cultivation-related items into their storage bags.

The corpses were piled together, and Corpse-Dissolving Water was poured over them, completely disintegrating more than three hundred bodies, leaving not even a bone behind!

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi paid no mind to their gains.

The two, along with the experts of the Haotao Sect, stood before the stone gate, closely examining the drawings on its surface, which seemed to depict the life of a cultivator.

From childhood, playing with friends, through youth, joining a sect for cultivation, to the deeds of a middle-aged man slaying enemies. The significant events experienced by a person from the Qi Cultivation Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and up to the Golden Core Realm, seemed to be engraved on the stone gate.
