CapĂtulo 871: Chapter 522: Trap and⊠Desperation
âWeâve been searching for over a month and still have nothing⊠Where have our sect disciples gone? Why arenât they using the rescue token? Do the disciples not know, or are the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master of the Earth Spirit Pavilion not taking action?â
âAi Pengyou, what are you up to? Weâve known each other for many years⊠Do you not trust that I would come to rescue you?â
âAlas, could it be that they encountered misfortune?â
Elder Yunâs face was filled with worry.
The leader from the Silver Land Dynasty was Ai Pengyou, the Pavilion Master of the Earth Spirit Pavilion, a close friend of Elder Yun. Cultivators from the Silver Land Dynasty not only excel in Earth Element Magic but also have an excellent understanding of the terrain of the Silver Land Dynasty.
âPavilion Master Ai is mature and steady, itâs hard for him to make mistakes. But this incident with the Black Dragon Sect being breached⊠there are strange elements everywhere.â
âWhat exactly caused the disciples of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect to all go out?â
âElder Yun, youâve been friends with Pavilion Master Ai for many years, do you know under what circumstances he would make such a decision?â
For more than a month, Yang Fu sent several ships with local dark-skinned people to the Danai Empire. He traveled across every corner of the Silver Land Dynasty, some places more than once, yet still, there were no traces of them.
So thinking back, he found the whole matter rather peculiar.
âI have pondered for many days as wellâŠâ
âAi Pengyouâs path is one of stability. If he forcibly took people away⊠itâs likely because thereâs a safer place than the Black Dragon Sect.â
âBut where could be safer than the Black Dragon Sect?â
Yang Fu and Elder Yun exchanged silent glances.
Just as they were at a loss, a cry came from the direction of the Danai Empire.
âCaw caw caw~ Urgent delivery~â
The Golden Core Stage Spirit Beast Da Mao flew over at full speed.
âEh? Da Mao, why are you here? Did my sister send you? What are you delivering?â
Yang Fujian stepped forward. Da Mao was Yang Fuqingâs mount and best Spirit Beast friend, usually inseparable from her.
âDa Mao came to bring me here!â
Baji leapt off the Long-haired Parrotâs back onto the ground beside them.
âI have important information to report!â
âIs it related to the disappearance of our sectâs disciples?â
Yang Fu asked urgently.
He and Elder Yun had come in a hurry. Baji was training the Yang Familyâs Death Soldiers in a secret location, so they didnât call him.
âYes! I saw many fellow townsmen brought back there and wanted to help settle them down. As a result, during conversations with them, I discovered something interesting.â
âThis year, near Xingâan Town, a dragon appeared⊠Later, both the Black Dragon Sect and Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect people went looking for it, but they never found it. It most likely hid underground again.â
âAnd it reminded me of a legend from my childhood⊠that there is a dragon underground in the Silver Land Dynasty, hiding many treasures. Whoever finds this dragon will gain the opportunity for immortalityâŠâ
âAnd after so many years, the legendary Earth Dragon has actually appeared. Coincidentally, they also disappeared. I guess⊠could they have gone to look for the Earth Dragon?â
Bajiâs words suddenly enlightened the group.
âRight! If we didnât find them above ground, theyâre likely all underground!â
Drilling and burrowing are as easy as eating and drinking to earth cultivators in the Silver Land Dynasty.
This also explains why the ancestor helped look for a while but still found nothing, because itâs too deep underground, and the ancestor naturally couldnât see from above.
âBaji, youâre skilled in Earth Stabbing magic, come on, letâs head to Xingâan Town!â
Baji was once a prodigy of the Silver Land Dynasty, though his luck wasnât good, having met Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo, the two brothers. He didnât make it to the forefront on the Immortal Path, but he did solidly cultivate to the Golden Core Stage with dual spirit roots of the earth element.
âAlright!â
The group rode the Treasure Ship to Xingâan Town in the Silver Land Dynasty, and indeed found a bottomless deep pit in a canyon there.
Baji transformed into earth and burrowed in. After walking for a while, he encountered an obstruction blocked by a thick Earth Element Formation outside, extremely strong. Even at the Golden Core Stage, Baji felt a sense of helplessness.
It was absolutely impossible to break.
But instead, this made Baji very happy.
âSuch strength must be Pavilion Master Aiâs array!â
Baji called the others into the cave, and Elder Yun immediately recognized the formation.
âThe âEarth Concealment Earthquake Arrayâ is a Fourth Grade defensive array. It not only has strong defensive power but can also perfectly blend into the undergroundâs aura. Even top-tier Golden Core cultivators would find it hard to notice anything unusual here. No wonder we didnât see it beforeâŠâ
âThis set of arrays is only owned by Ai Pengyou within the whole sect, it must be him!â
Elder Yun used the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect magic to activate the formation. After a moment of ripples appeared, a delighted voice came from inside.
âBrother Yun, is that you?â
âHahaha~ Who else but this old man would come to save you, you honest man! Quickly open the array and follow us back to the sect!â
Someone then came out to verify and ensured none of them were parasitized before opening the formation.
A vast underground world unfolded before Yang Fu and the others.
âWow~~~ Do you also have an underground dynasty?â
The underground was not an ordinary cave, but a huge city, complete with various buildings.
There were not only the two thousand Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect cultivators brought by Ai Pengyou but also a large number of Silver Land Dynasty cultivators, showing that the conditions here are extremely well-off.
The spiritual energy was abundant, and thereâs no worry about food or drink, as if itâs an underground refuge.
Yang Genshuo beamed upon seeing this.
âWow, does the Silver Land Dynasty also have its own apocalypse refuge?â
âWeâve been searching for over a month and still have nothing⊠Where have our sect disciples gone? Why arenât they using the rescue token? Do the disciples not know, or are the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master of the Earth Spirit Pavilion not taking action?â
