Chapter 1570 - 1569: Cooperation

"Let’s go in."

Without a second thought, Feng Wuchen entered Hades’ Grotto.

The passageway inside Hades’ Grotto was lined with fire basins lit by the Ximen family, making the dark cave appear much brighter.

"Master, are we just going in like this?" Jueqing asked, full of astonishment as he looked at Feng Wuchen.

"What else?" Feng Wuchen shrugged.

"Aren’t you afraid Ximen Xuanzi will kill us to silence us? We can’t possibly stand against them," Jueqing expressed his worry and helplessness, feeling that going in would undoubtedly lead to their doom.

The Ximen family is searching for the Heavenly Dao Life Chart; they wouldn’t let others know that the treasure fell into their hands. Isn’t this like offering one’s neck to be cut?

"Don’t worry, don’t forget that Ximen Xuanzi is a Divine Grade Inscription Master," Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile.

Seeing Feng Wuchen’s fearless demeanor, it seemed he had great confidence in his soul power.

"That’s right, the master is at the God-tier Realm!" Jueqing’s eyes lit up, suddenly remembering, and he quickly followed inside.

The cave of Hades’ Grotto was enormous, running through the mountain itself, with the entrance being over tens of meters high and the passageway also several meters wide.

Because it was located deep in the remote mountains, few people ever set foot in the Hades’ Mountain Range.

"Master, only when we reach deeper inside can we sense the aura of the sealed formation," Jueqing said respectfully.

Feng Wuchen nodded and said, "Let’s speed up and not waste any time."

The cave was extremely deep, spanning thousands of meters through the mountain range.

Fear comes from the unknown.

The cave was so deep that no one knew what dangers lay inside, and the chilly aura added an unknown fear to it.

"This Hades’ Grotto is truly magical. The deeper you go, the denser the spiritual energy. It seems there are many treasures from heaven and earth deep inside," Feng Wuchen said with a calm smile.

"The master is correct. There are indeed many herbs and treasures deep inside," Jueqing nodded.

After a while, Feng Wuchen’s eyes suddenly brightened, exclaiming, "This is the aura of the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance!"

"Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance? I don’t sense anything special," Jueqing looked at Feng Wuchen in confusion. When it came to herbs, Jueqing was a layman, knowing nothing.

"The Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance is one of the main ingredients for refining the Reincarnation Burning Heaven Pill! Extremely rare and precious! Even Zi Xian Pavilion can’t produce it, yet there are several plants here!" Feng Wuchen said excitedly, quickening his pace.

Each plant was worth billions of crystal stones, and with several plants here, Feng Wuchen was overjoyed.

Reaching deeper inside, Feng Wuchen immediately saw the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance growing on the stone walls of the cave, exclaiming excitedly, "These fools of the Ximen family couldn’t recognize this treasure!"

"Ximen family doesn’t have any alchemists, so it’s not surprising they can’t recognize it," Jueqing scratched his head and said.

"Luckily, they don’t. Otherwise, the treasure would have fallen into their hands," Feng Wuchen grinned, picking five plants of the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance.

This was equivalent to five hundred billion crystal stones.

"Master, what about the other herbs? Do you not want these?" Jueqing asked again.

"These herbs aren’t lacking. I only want rare and precious herbs. These can be bought from the merchant guilds. I hope we’ll encounter more rare herbs," Feng Wuchen shook his head, not wanting to waste time on these less valuable herbs.

A few minutes later, Feng Wuchen and Jueqing were already near the deepest part of the cave, sensing the presence of Ximen Xuanzi and other powerful figures.

Deep inside the cave was an enormous natural cavern, vast and resembling an underground mausoleum.

"This ancient sealing formation is not simple. The seal is integrated with an illusion array. The formation is extremely complex and all-encompassing. Once trapped inside, the illusion will hide the exit, and unless one understands formations, they won’t figure it out in this lifetime."

"Who goes there?" Ximen Xuanzi suddenly shouted.

Feng Wuchen and Jueqing sauntered into the cave and appeared in the eyes of the strong from the Ximen family. It was Feng Wuchen who spoke.

"The ancient sealing formation has existed for many years and has significantly weakened. Even if you can force your way through, it will still consume a lot of power," Feng Wuchen continued.

"Wind Shadow?" Ximen Xuanzi looked at Feng Wuchen in surprise.

"Ximen Family Head, nice to meet you!" Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, appearing very polite.

"Is he the Young Master of the Dragon God Clan?" The strong Great Heavenly Emperor figures of the Ximen family looked at Feng Wuchen in astonishment.

"Wind Shadow, what are you here for?" Ximen Xuanzi asked with a frown, looking at Feng Wuchen warily.

"Whatever you’re here for, I’m here for the same reason," Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile.

Ximen Xuanzi’s old face sank, asking sternly, "Are you spying on us?"

"Not spying, just that we discovered it before you did but didn’t take action," Feng Wuchen shrugged with a smile.

"Ximen Family Head, how about we cooperate? Without us, even if you break the seal, you won’t get the Heavenly Dao Life Chart," Feng Wuchen continued.

"Why should I trust you? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you? Don’t forget, this is Hades’ Grotto, not the Ling Realm, and certainly not the Dragon God Clan!" Ximen Xuanzi squinted slightly.

"If you could kill me, you’d have done it already, so why bother talking to me? Who wouldn’t want the Heavenly Dao Life Chart?" Feng Wuchen retorted.

"Is this brat so confident? Could it be his soul power has increased again?" Ximen Xuanzi pondered with a furrowed brow. Feng Wuchen was not an ordinary opponent, and Ximen Xuanzi didn’t dare to act rashly.

If he made a move and his soul power wasn’t enough to contend with Feng Wuchen, it would mean tearing relations and becoming enemies with the Dragon God Clan.

"Ximen Family Head, I promise as the Young Master of the Dragon God Clan, I won’t deceive you," Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, flipping his hand, making the Crystal Bead appear in his palm out of thin air.

Feng Wuchen shook the Water Spirit Bead and said, "To break the sealed formation, you’ll still need this treasure. Without it, you won’t obtain the Heavenly Dao Life Chart, so we can only cooperate."

"Family Head, don’t believe him, be careful of being deceived!" a man warned cautiously.

"Indeed, Family Head, the strength of the Dragon God Clan is greater than ours. Once we obtain the Heavenly Dao Life Chart, they might attack us!" another whispered.

"Say no more," Ximen Xuanzi waved his hand and looked at Feng Wuchen, "Just based on the title of Young Master of the Dragon God Clan, it’s worth believing. I don’t believe the Young Master would break his word."

"Ximen Family Head is straightforward. Once we obtain the Heavenly Dao Life Chart, I just want a glance. The treasure is yours," Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile.

"Just a glance?" Ximen Xuanzi and the others were puzzled, wondering if they heard wrong.

Jueqing behind was dumbfounded, wondering what Feng Wuchen was up to.

"I’m not lying. I really only want a glance, or may I be struck by lightning," Feng Wuchen shrugged.
