“Unreliable…” Ye Wushuang said earnestly, “But I have a way to make him too afraid to betray us.”
With that, Ye Wushuang took out a pill and forcefully fed it to Wang Kun. Watching Wang Kun swallow the pill, Ye Wushuang explained, “This pill is called the Chaotic Blood Source Pill, a second-grade poison pill. After swallowing it, you won’t feel anything at first. However, if you don’t receive the antidote within a day, you will die from a severe, all-over infection.”
“Moreover, since the poison hasn’t taken effect yet, even a third-grade or fourth-grade spiritual alchemist won’t be able to detect it. Once the poison does take effect, even a third-grade or fourth-grade spiritual alchemist will be too late to save you!”
Hearing this, Wang Kun immediately understood and hurriedly kowtowed, saying, “I’ll do whatever you say. I’ll definitely be obedient.”
“Very well,” Ye Wushuang replied.
Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu both put on black robes, and Ye Wushuang glanced at the sword wound on Wang Kun’s leg. He already had a plan in mind. He didn’t know the layout of the underground palace or the distribution of the warriors there. Rushing in blindly would indeed be a gamble with life and death. However, having Wang Kun guide them would save them a lot of trouble.
Once everything was ready, the three of them headed towards the stone door. Upon arriving, they used Wang Kun’s token to unlock the door’s restrictions and entered.
Inside, they saw an arched tunnel with a diameter of about ten yards, quite spacious. However, after advancing a hundred meters, they saw several small wooden huts ahead.
“Who’s there?” Several warriors at the Condensing Meridians realm, dressed in the robes of the Tianji Mansion, stood in front of the huts.
“Are you blind?” Wang Kun, supported by Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu, shouted, “Get out of the way!”
“Younger Master Wang Kun, what… what happened?” one of the warriors, at the ninth level of the Condensing Meridians realm, asked in surprise, seeing Wang Kun’s blood-soaked clothes.
Before Wang Kun could speak, Ye Wushuang said, “We were out capturing disciples from the five great families and the royal family when we ran into a tough opponent.”
A tough opponent?
“Qin Wuxin from the Qin clan, the top genius on the Qingyun Academy’s Tayan list, who has reached the Yuanfu realm. He’s extremely powerful,” Ye Wushuang said angrily. “The three of us almost got killed by him.”
Wang Kun quickly added, “Send a few people to guard the entrance. That guy is extraordinary. He might come after us. We mustn’t let anyone discover this place.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Several warriors immediately headed towards the entrance.
Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu continued to move forward with Wang Kun, who was limping. After passing through the long tunnel and reaching its end, the view suddenly opened up.
Although the tunnel led inside the mountain, there were luminous stones on both sides, so it wasn’t dark. At the end of the tunnel, Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu were both taken aback.
At the end of the tunnel, a staircase led underground. A hundred yards below, there were houses and streets, and many people were moving about. It looked like a small town. Moreover, the mountain’s interior seemed to have been hollowed out, with sunlight shining down from above. There were also luminous stones on the walls of the mountain, making the place almost indistinguishable from the outside world.
“These people were gathered by Elder Wang to study the mysteries of bloodlines,” Wang Kun explained.
“Don’t speak. Be careful not to give us away,” Ye Wushuang warned.
With his life in Ye Wushuang’s hands, Wang Kun indeed had no intention of playing any tricks. In fact, he felt that Ye Wushuang must not die. If Ye Wushuang died, the poison in his body would take effect tomorrow, and he would die instantly. Who would save him then?
As the three of them descended the staircase into the town below, several young men in black robes approached. One of them, seeing Wang Kun’s bloodied state, asked in surprise, “Wang Kun, what happened to you?”
