Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 240 Underground Palace
Seeing their Pavilion Master come out, the minions who had stopped Fang Chang and Gu Yue immediately stepped aside and dared not say anything more.

"Brother Fang Qi, who is this?" Zhu Jing pointed at Gu Yue who was standing next to Fang Chang and asked with a raised eyebrow. Zhu Zhu beside her also stared at this side with a vigilant look.

"Who are they?" Gu Yue obviously saw that these two people had a close relationship with Fang Chang, and stared at him as if he was interrogating a criminal.

"Uh...this." Faced with such a situation, he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment and quickly changed the subject.

"Pavilion Master Zhu Jing, have you found anything unusual in this palace?"

Seeing Fang Chang trying to cover up the matter, Gu Yue and Zhu Zhu became anxious at the same time.

"Who are they? Don't change the subject."

"who is she?"

……

Fang Chang smiled bitterly and pointed at Zhu Zhu. "This is a girl from the spider clan whom I met when I went down to the lower world to investigate with my clone."

Then he pointed to Gu Yue, "This is one of the matrons of my... um... clan."

His answer obviously failed to satisfy the two women. They both stared at Fang Chang with unfriendly expressions, as if they were going to give him a hard time if they didn't agree with him.

Fortunately, Zhu Jing, who was standing nearby, knew how to read people's expressions and saw Fang Chang's current situation. She immediately stepped forward to resolve the crisis for him.

"If there is anything unusual, there is one."

Hearing her words, Gu Yue's attention was immediately drawn to it, "Where is it? Take us there quickly."

Seeing that Gu Yue was no longer bothered by this matter, Zhu Zhu timidly retreated behind Zhu Jing, but her resentful little eyes would glance at Fang Chang from time to time.

"This place is the underground palace in the Sun Moon Imperial City." Zhu Jing introduced, "Now this imperial city has been almost divided up by various forces."

"Our Zhuhai Pavilion is located in Sun Moon City. With the help of Brother Fang Qi, my strength has greatly increased. I have already reached the level of Peerless Douluo. Naturally, we occupy the best place in the entire imperial city."

She was talking about the large area in the center of the imperial city, where most of the good things were.

However, what she didn't mention was that the most important reason was that those forces stronger than her were worried about being liquidated by Fang Chang, so they had already put up shields.

Her Zhuhai Pavilion does not face this threat, but can instead use it to bully others.

"Three days ago, my people discovered a mausoleum leading underground beneath the main palace," she continued.

"But in the past few days, no matter what we tried, we couldn't open the entrance to the underground palace. Even I, the peerless Douluo, couldn't do it."

"We suspect that this underground palace may not be built by human power at all, and it is likely related to some power beyond human power."

After all, as a peerless Douluo, her strength is undoubtedly the strongest person in the Douluo plane. But even so, she couldn't even get in the door, which made it hard not to doubt the strength of the builder of the underground palace.

After hearing her say this, Fang Chang and Gu Yue became more interested in this underground palace.

"Take us to see it quickly." Gu Yue asked impatiently, and Fang Chang also seemed very interested.

"Then come with me." Zhu Jing didn't waste any words and immediately led the two of them around the main hall of the imperial city and walked towards a hidden place behind the main hall.

This place looks like a temple dedicated to gods. It does not occupy a large area and is obviously smaller than those large halls that occupy thousands or tens of thousands of square meters.

Fang Chang and others walked into the temple. With only a dozen people standing inside, it already felt very crowded.

Right in front of the temple, there was supposed to be a huge statue of a female deity, but now the statue had been destroyed beyond recognition by a wandering soul master who had entered earlier.

But one can still vaguely see from above that it should be a female deity holding an ancient tree in her hand.

"It's her!" Gu Yue almost jumped up with excitement, because without the magic weapon, she seemed unworthy of the title of Goddess of Life.

Especially when most of the other gods have some relationship with Fang Chang, her position seems even more awkward.

And now she finally has the chance to take back the ancient tree of life. How can she not be happy?

Zhu Jing continued to lead the two people through the broken statue, and a hole barely big enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of these people.

"This must have been discovered by accident by those wandering soul masters when they were prying something away." She pointed at the cave entrance and said, "Let's go down."

As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped into the hole first. Looking at her skillful movements, it was estimated that she had done this many times before.

As she went down the cave, a long and deep corridor appeared in everyone's eyes. The faint firelight should have been placed there recently.

Zhu Jing walked in front with ease, leading the group through the corridor and to a slightly open area.

Although it is underground, the walls here emit a soft white light, illuminating the place like daytime.

There were many traces of being chiseled and polished on these walls. It seemed that those wandering soul masters had also tried to pry the walls down, but they failed to pry them down.

"This should be it." Fang Chang asserted as he looked at the energy fluctuations on the surrounding walls.

There are still some residual fluctuations of divine power on these walls, and it is because of the effect of the divine power that they can emit light for a long time.

At the front of the open area, there is an ancient bronze door that cuts off all information, making people curious about the world behind the ancient bronze door.

"This is it." Seeing Fang Chang and the others looking at the ancient door, Zhu Jing came up and said, "I have tried various methods these days but couldn't open this ancient door."

"Now that you are here, maybe there will be a way."

Fang Chang reached out and knocked on the ancient bronze door a few times, but the ancient bronze door was like a whole thick piece of iron and did not respond at all.

At the same time, it seems to be able to absorb energy from the outside world. When ordinary people's attacks hit it, as long as they do not exceed the absorption limit of the ancient bronze door, the energy will be absorbed by it first.

"Interesting." Fang Chang and Gu Yue looked at each other. "This thing must have combined the power of at least ten gods to build a city. It looks like we are about to catch a big fish."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Before Gu Yue could finish his words, a divine power rose from his body and he was about to bombard the ancient bronze door.

"Wait a moment." Fang Chang stopped her and sent a signal through telepathy to the gods who were still guarding outside the city, asking them to gather at the imperial city of Sun and Moon City.

After doing all this, he nodded to Gu Yue, and the two of them entered combat mode at the same time, working together to mobilize their divine power and bombarding the ancient bronze door that had stood there for who knows how many years.

"Boom~" A piercing sound swept in along with an energy storm and did not dissipate for a long time.

When everything was over, everyone saw that the ancient bronze door that even the peerless Douluo was helpless against had been broken into a hole with a diameter of no less than two meters.

Behind this cave is endless darkness.
