Chapter 4055 Underground Palace

There are many similar cave entrances in this area, which resembles a Gobi Desert.

We didn't know what was going on down there, so we sent the prisoner down first to lead the way for us.

We've crippled that guy. After he was pushed down into the hole, Kasan jumped down right after him to prevent him from escaping.

However, he didn't have the strength to run anymore; his calves were cramping from the effects of the Nine-Turn Bone-Scraping Pill.

After Kassan went down and felt there was no danger, he greeted us, and we all jumped down.

As soon as they went down, they each activated their invisibility talismans so that they would not be exposed.

I looked around and found that the entrance to the cave below was quite spacious, with caves connected to each other. The main reason was that these Mao Minguo people were all quite large, so the entrance to the cave was very wide. They might need to bend over to walk through, but we could walk through normally without any problem.

We subdued that Maoist, and he obediently led the way.

After passing through several cave entrances, we gradually came into view of the Maoist people, but they couldn't see us.

Some of the Maoist people saw the prisoner we had captured and ran over to ask him how he escaped. The guy knew we were right next to him and that if he dared to say anything out of line, he would be killed instantly. So he made up a story, saying that he escaped when we weren't looking.

The Maomin people hiding in the cave were discussing what had happened not long ago. They all looked terrified, saying that we outsiders were too ruthless. With one set of methods, we defeated them and killed or wounded hundreds of Maomin people. Now their leader, Shanti, was thinking of ways to deal with us.

Another Maoist said that the Shanti leader had informed the other Maoist people that they would send experts to deal with us.

This trip was quite necessary. What's meant to be will be. It seems these Maoist people don't intend to let us leave here unscathed.

We can only leave this place by capturing that mountain man alive and getting him to lead us away.

We passed through several cave entrances, and it felt like we were constantly going down.

After walking for about half an hour, an underground building suddenly appeared in front of us. It was huge and felt like a castle.

It's truly unimaginable that such a massive building could exist within the territory of the Republic of China.

At this point, the prisoner next to us told us that Shanti was inside this building, but he didn't know exactly where, because he was just a minor character and not qualified to enter the castle.

We looked in the direction of the castle, thinking that we still had to sneak in and find that mountain.

Just as he was thinking about this, the slovenly Taoist priest suddenly slapped the prisoner unconscious, then had Little Fatty drag him to a very hidden cave entrance.

We are still true to our word; as long as he behaves, we will not take his life.

While remaining invisible, our group approached the underground castle and discovered that many Maomin people holding magical artifacts were guarding the entrance.

These people from the Mao Republic all looked like bears, covered in black fur with only their eyes showing; they didn't seem very human.

At this moment, the city gates were wide open, and many people from the Maomin Kingdom were running towards the castle, presumably to report our situation to Shanti.

We were invisible at the time, so we quietly crept over, following behind those Maoist people, and no one could spot us.

Following behind those few people from the Republic of China, we walked through a square and then into a long corridor.

Although it resembles a palace, it looks quite simple.

Around the castle, many braziers hung, their flickering flames creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.

Before long, a large hall appeared ahead, and there seemed to be quite a few people inside.

The few Mao Minguo people rushed into the main hall and knelt down.

One of them said in a panic, "Chief, that group of outsiders was too ferocious. We originally wanted to take advantage of the night to sneak up on them and kill them, but we were discovered. We lost more than a hundred people, and the rest escaped back."

The guy covered in black hair sitting in the very center of the hall must be Shanti.

Actually, we can't tell which one is which. To us, they all look the same, covered in hair.

Upon hearing this, Shanti trembled with rage. She slammed her hand on the chair and roared, "Useless! A bunch of useless people! So many of you, and you still can't handle those few outsiders!"

Immediately, another person said, "Chief, those foreigners are all very strong cultivators, and they are very vigilant. With our strength, we are afraid we cannot contend with them. The best course of action now is to inform the King and have him send some experts over so that we can attack from both sides and eliminate these foreigners."

"Yes, leader, these people are too powerful. One of them can set fires. With one move, he burned dozens of us to death."

The few Maoist people who came here kept telling us about the horrors we experienced.

The chieftain Shanti remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Now we will closely monitor the movements of these foreigners. I will inform the king that we will not allow these foreigners to leave our Maomin Kingdom alive."

The group of Mao Minguo people were discussing how to deal with us when the slovenly Taoist priest came up to me and whispered, "Come out for a moment, let's discuss how to deal with this mountain spirit."

At that moment, our group left the main hall, found a secluded spot, and changed our invisibility talisman.

Master Zhiqing spoke first: "I sensed it carefully just now. There are several experts in that hall, but at most they are at the mid-stage of Ghost Immortal. The leader, Shanti, is not even at the Earth Immortal realm. We can easily deal with them."

“Here’s what we’ll do,” the slovenly Taoist priest said in a low voice. “Use the Five Elements Command Flag to set up a magic array around the main hall to prevent more Mao Min people from rushing over here. Once the array is set up, Master Zhiqing and Kasang will be responsible for taking down the leader Shandi, while we will be responsible for intercepting the rest of the Mao Min people.”

Everyone nodded in response, indicating that they had no objections.

Without further ado, I took out the Five Elements Command Flags and, under the cover of the invisibility talisman, quickly set up a magic array around the main hall.

Afterwards, our group sneaked back into the main hall, and Zhiqing Zhenren and Kasang quietly made their way towards the leader, Shanti.
