Chapter 173: Entering the Underground Palace Again

Listening to the introduction of Black Cat Ye Tu, Xu Yang frowned slightly.

"It's a pity that Yu Changfeng, the master of Xiaoxian Realm, has long fallen in this underground palace. I'm afraid that the "Six Arts Sacred Secret" has also disappeared. The method to unlock the "Great Teleportation Formation" may just sink into the sea." After saying that, Xu Yang shook his head helplessly.

"The result is not that bad. Although the memory of the nine-tailed scorpion left in the demon crystal is a little vague, the secret is vaguely on the body of the nine-tailed scorpion. After everyone is settled, we will go down to the underground palace to explore, and maybe we can find the answer."

"I hope we can find the answer."

Hearing this news, Xu Yang was not excited at all. After this setback, the optimistic attitude he had always held on this matter was covered with a thick veil.

One person and one cat came to the woods where Bai Mujin and others were hiding.

Seeing Mu Jin in white standing in the crowd from a distance, Xu Yang stepped forward quickly.

"Mu Jin, are you okay?" Seeing Bai Mujin's tired face, Xu Yang asked with concern.

"I'm fine, but the others are seriously injured. Fortunately, you don't seem to be hurt." Bai Mujin looked at Xu Yang carefully and saw that he was unharmed. A long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Xu, how is my father? Is what Ning Jing said in the underground palace true?" Lv Qingyu looked anxious. She still wanted to confirm the news about Lv Wujie. After all, the father and daughter had a deep affection.

This kind of thing could not be concealed. Xu Yang could only tell the fact that the West Princess Lv Wujie had been plotted to death by the West General Ning Jing, and also told the truth about the result that Ning Jing and Shangguan Aoyun both died in the battle. Then he returned the Kuanglan Sword left by Lv Wujie to Lv Qingyu.

"Ning Jing! You got a bargain, you thief!" Lv Qingyu said with gritted teeth. Her jade face was frosty, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was extremely sad and angry. The hand holding the Kuanglan Sword was trembling. She wished she could call back the dead Ning Jing and stab him with the Kuanglan Sword for hundreds of times to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Soon, Leng Daoist, Jing Daoist, and Xuan Daoist also retreated from the underground palace, and everyone gathered together.

"I didn't expect that this underground palace was just a treasure house with spiritual stones?" Xuan Daoist sighed.

"We suffered heavy losses this time, so let's send the injured back for treatment first." Jing Daoist looked at the conditions of several seriously injured people and shook his head repeatedly.

"The failure of this operation was mainly due to **. I didn't expect that the two generals would turn against each other. Fortunately, they died together, otherwise we would all die miserably in their hands." Leng Daoist said with lingering fear after listening to Xu Yang's introduction of the situation.

"For this result, I can only say sorry to everyone." Xu Yang said with guilt.

Although before coming, Black Cat Ye Tu had reminded to prevent the West County Lord from having a different mind, which might be detrimental to the scattered cultivators in Qinghua Mountain City, but he didn't expect that Ning Jing would be the first to attack, and it would be an internal fight in West County.

"Now that things have come to this, let's go back to our own places. We can discuss the future after we have recovered our strength." Dong Lingjun suggested, and then he coughed violently.

"I want to go into the underground palace again to see if there is any possibility of finding clues." Xu Yang said.

"I'll go with you." Bai Mujin said without hesitation.

The others looked at each other, and no one was willing to enter the underground palace again. The sudden changes in the underground palace before were as vivid as a nightmare, especially the countless spiritual stones in it. No one could guarantee that no one would have a different mind after seeing the spiritual stones.

After a brief discussion, Xu Yang and Bai Mujin returned to the underground palace again with the black cat Yetu.

In the underground palace, the spiritual stones scattered on the ground still emitted an attractive milky white light, which looked like an angel that brought hope to people, but also like a devil that destroyed humanity.

Looking at the remains of the nine-tailed scorpion scattered in every corner of the underground palace, Xu Yang said: "According to the clues Ye Tu said, the remains of the nine-tailed scorpion may contain the secret of the formation to isolate the Xiaoxian world. Let's take a closer look."

The black cat Ye Tu's ears moved, and two groups of black spirit breath condensed in an instant. The spirit breath twisted and turned into two ghost spirit cats with sharp ears and claws. Then, the two little guys entered every corner of the underground palace like ghosts and began to search.

Bai Mujin raised his hand and patted the golden wire cage on his waist, and three spirit apes rolled out.

Hou Da, Hou Er, and Hou San were originally mutant ghost spirit pets with amazing recovery ability. Their previous injuries were no longer a problem under Bai Mujin's treatment. Seeing that their master was also safe and sound, the three spirit apes were as happy as children.

"You can also help find clues on the scorpion remains."

The three spirit apes heard the words and quickly jumped and scattered to search.

The space of the underground palace is too vast. It is actually a different space constructed by a huge formation.

The nine-tailed spirit scorpion was originally stuck together by countless fragments. After being cut by Lv Wujie with a sword, it was scattered everywhere in the exploding purple flame.

It took a full half an hour for several people to pile up the collected spirit scorpion debris in one place, like a small mountain.

"I wonder which of these fragments will have clues." Bai Mujin said as he looked at the countless fragments in front of him.

"We need to move faster. We should not stay here for a long time to avoid changes." The previous purple flame disaster was like a sharp sword hanging in the memory of Heimao Ye Tu, and he shuddered every time he thought of it.

"It seems that there is no good way. We can only check separately." Xu Yang said.

"Buzz-buzz".

The sound of a long stick dancing rapidly in the air came into his ears.

Bai Mujin turned his head and saw that the silver-backed monkey Da was holding a huge scorpion claw in both hands and waving it vigorously in the air, like a child who couldn't let go of a toy.

"Hou Da, bring the scorpion claw over here for me to see."

After hearing this, the silver-backed monkey Da stopped playing and obediently handed the scorpion claw to Bai Mujin.

The huge scorpion claw was still intact, and the dark brown shell was shiny and smooth, faintly exuding the breath of evil spirits.

"This scorpion claw is extremely strong and has not been damaged at all. Hey, what is this? It seems to be text."

Bai Mujin said, turning the angle of the scorpion claw, and subtle dark golden brilliance that was not easy to detect was reflected.

After hearing this, Xu Yang leaned over to check.

Sure enough, on one side of the scorpion claw, there were many soybean-sized characters densely arranged, as if someone had used a secret method to imprint it on it.

"Haoran Sheng Jue!" Xu Yang pointed to a few of the words and said excitedly.

The black cat Ye Tu also came over and carefully identified them.

"After searching everywhere, we still can't find it. This is exactly the Confucian skills we are looking for. One of the articles records the Great Teleportation Formation." Black Cat Ye Tu said.

"Great, we have hope of returning to the Zhongyuan Realm again." Bai Mujin said happily.

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Keep this thing first. As for the contents on the scorpion claw, don't mention it to anyone to avoid making mistakes. Let's go back first. The people outside are probably waiting anxiously." Black Cat Ye Tu said.

"The trip to the underground palace finally yielded some gains." As he said that, Xu Yang carefully put the scorpion claw into the storage bag.

Several people casually flipped through other fragments and found no fonts or clues.

"What should I do with the spirit stones here?"

Xu Yang looked at the countless spirit stones scattered behind him, and couldn't help but remember that when he was in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he was troubled by Chen Kang for more than a dozen spirit stones. The temptation brought by so many spirit stones is really irresistible, even if Xu Yang is not a greedy person.

"Spirit stones are always good things. I think it's better to take some of the spirit stones here and give a share to everyone outside. It can be regarded as compensation for coming here." Black Cat Ye Tu suggested.

Xu Yang and Bai Mujin took out all the storage bags on their bodies. After filling them up, they only contained a small part of the spirit stones in the underground palace.

"If I had known that I would take so many spirit stones, I would have brought more storage bags." Bai Mujin said jokingly.

After returning with a full load, the two people and the cat came to the outside of the underground palace.

...

Outside the underground palace, Leng Daoren and Jing Daoren paced back and forth at the exit of the underground palace, looking down from the skylight of the underground palace from time to time.

"Did the leader encounter any trouble again?" Leng Daoren looked worried.

"Should we go down and take a look again?" Jing Daoren suggested.

"Let's wait and see here. If we really encounter trouble that the leader can't get out of, I'm afraid you and I can't do anything." Leng Daoren twisted his red nose and said calmly.

Since Xu Yang showed his amazing strength in the underground palace, even though Leng Daoren has reached the first level of the True Dan Realm, he still thinks that Xu Yang is much better than him.

"It's been half an hour, we can't just wait here."

At this moment, two figures in the underground palace skylight floated up side by side and landed steadily at the exit.

"Big leader, Miss Mu Jin, you finally came out, we all want to go down to find you."

"Yes, yes, I wonder if there is anything we can gain this time."

"Nothing was found, but I took out some spirit stones, one for each person, which is also a compensation for everyone's trip to the underground palace."

Xu Yang followed the method discussed with Heimao Yetu and concealed the fact that the Six Arts Sacred Secret was recorded on the scorpion's claws.

If this news is released, I'm afraid that all the cultivators in the Xiaoxian world will fight for it. After all, this is the technique left by Lu Qingyun, and Lu Qingyun is already a legendary existence who has stepped into the fairyland. The benefits of leaving behind the technique are like the temptation of elixir of immortality to mortals.

Afterwards, Xu Yang divided the spirit stones he had taken out into fifteen portions, each of which had more than 100,000 spirit stones.

There were originally four people from Xijun, but now only Lu Qingyu was left, who got four portions. There were originally two people from Dongjun, but only Donglingjun was left, who got two portions. Xuan Daoist, Leng Daoist, Jing Daoist, Yu Fozi, Ghost Big Mouth, Bai Muhua, Bai Mujin, and Xu Yang each got one portion. Fat Toutuo's portion belonged to Qinghua Mountain City, and as for Heimao Ye Tu's portion, Xu Yang had already kept it for him.

As for the remaining spirit stones in the underground palace, everyone discussed and decided to seal the underground palace first, and then take out these spirit stones when Xiaoxianjie needed them, after all, the spirit stones in the underground palace were originally left here by Lu Qingyun to deal with the crisis of Xiaoxianjie.

Afterwards, everyone parted outside the underground palace and returned separately.

During this trip to the underground palace, Xijun suffered the most serious losses. Xijun Lord Lu Wujie, Xi General Ning Jing, and Xijun Prime Minister Linghu Xia all died.

Dong Lingjun, the chief minister of Dongjun, was seriously injured, and Shangguan Aoyun, the general of Dongjun, died.

In Qinghua Mountain City, only Fat Monk died, Yu Fozi, Ghost Big Mouth and Bai Muhua were seriously injured, while Leng Daoren, Xuan Daoren, Jing Daoren, Bai Mujin and Xu Yang were all fine.

As one side grows stronger, the other side declines. At present, the top combat power of Qinghua Mountain City is enough to compete with Dongjun and Xijun. The three parties restrain each other, but have reached a certain balance, and there is no hidden danger of war and fighting for the time being.
