One person established a clan

Chapter 274 Lotus Underground
"You deserve to be taught a lesson so you won't act so recklessly."

Su Cheng smiled helplessly, released his hands, and helped Wen Qimeng regain her balance. "How do you feel now?"

"Better."

The girl blushed and straightened her skirt, muttering softly, "I'm just not skilled enough yet. I promise I won't make the same mistake next time."

"elder brother--"

Suddenly, a young woman's clear voice called out from afar, "There's a huge spirit mine here! Come and see!"

"Coming right away!" Su Cheng replied quickly, exchanged a glance with the girl, and then rushed off.

"."

Wen Qimeng flicked her sleeve and put away the spirit boat. Unconsciously, she touched the tip of her buttocks that had just been pressed by five fingers, and her heart beat a little faster.

Why are these hands so hot? That squeeze just now really burned my body.
She blushed and muttered two curses under her breath, trying to calm herself down.

After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed his expression and began to form hand seals, setting up multiple arrays around Youshan.

Although all these Netherworld cultivators have been killed, if this is not concealed, it will sooner or later arouse the vigilance of the Heaven-Seizing Alliance.

A little trickery is still needed to deceive them.

Following the sound, Su Cheng stepped into a narrow cave, where a faint green light emanated from within.

A massive green crystal pillar rose from the ground, surrounded by intricate arrays, exuding a profound and boundless aura.

"Brother." The little girl quickly stepped forward, tilting her head up and whispering, "I found this by chance while searching the mountain courtyard with Sister Shi."

"Let me take a look." Su Cheng rubbed her little head and walked intently toward the green crystal pillar.

Upon closer inspection, it is evident that the crystal pillar has been artificially carved, and its interior is engraved with numerous mysterious array patterns.

[Detected 'Heavenly Fusion Stone' (fragment), a material at the peak of the Spirit Profound realm] [This item is connected to thirty-five arrays, constructing underground spiritual veins to facilitate the exchange of spiritual energy]

"This method is quite subtle."

Shi Xuan's voice quietly rang out: "They capture the aura of cultivators through external formations, condense it into a mark, and then send it elsewhere through this crystal pillar."

Even if someone notices, they can use the excuse of the earth's veins to cover it up, leaving no trace.

Su Cheng nodded in understanding.

Just as Xuan'er said, even if someone had doubts, they would never dare to dig and investigate under the nose of the Heaven-Seizing Alliance.

"Are there any points where these thirty-six array halls intersect?"

“It points to Tianhuang City.” Shi Xuan pondered, “Although this formation is large in scale, if we trace its origins, we may be able to find some clues.”

"What can Xuan'er do?"

“Go underground.” She said meaningfully, “If it is a secret realm, the fluctuations of spiritual energy will be difficult to hide and will inevitably be exposed to everyone’s divine sense.”

Therefore, the Heaven-Seizing Alliance's plans must be buried deep underground; we can easily discover them by investigating.

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly and reached out to press his hand on the crystal pillar.

Upon probing with divine sense, it was discovered that the crystal pillar was deeply embedded in the ground like a nail, and there was indeed a hollow tunnel below.

A vast amount of spiritual energy surged within, like an underground river flowing towards a place where the spiritual energy was even more concentrated.

"If it wasn't formed naturally, the Heaven-Seizing Alliance's arrangement was truly painstaking."

With a thought, Su Cheng gently spun his palm.

The entire Heavenly Stone was instantly absorbed into the system, revealing a huge gap in the ground.

The surrounding formations are still functioning normally, so they are not likely to alert the Heaven-Seizing Alliance.

"A few people from the Heaven-Seizing Alliance came to investigate just now, but I've already sent them away."

Wen Qimeng gracefully leaped into the cave, curiously peering inside: "What's next?"

"Let's go down and find out."

Su Cheng lowered his voice and said, "This place connects to other array halls and even leads directly into Tianhuang City. Perhaps the answer to what the Tianxun Alliance is secretly plotting can be found here."

Wen Qimeng seemed to have her interest piqued, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"Great! Let's go down and explore!"

Seeing her eager expression, Su Cheng couldn't help but smile.

This Miss Wen seems to have a particular passion for adventure.
"However, although the formation here is in operation, if it is left empty for too long, the Heaven-Seizing Alliance will definitely become suspicious, so we need to make preparations as soon as possible."

"Don't worry~" Wen Qimeng patted her chest and said with a smile, "I have already set up an illusion array and several wooden puppets. Even if there are patrols, it will be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake."

Su Cheng chuckled: "Your strange and unusual methods are endless."

“Of course~” The girl winked playfully: “If I didn’t have some survival skills, how would I dare to bring my aunt out to venture out this time?”

"You almost fainted just now?"

"How can these be compared?"

Wen Qimeng's pretty face flushed instantly, and she gave him a light glare. "I only used some techniques I wasn't yet proficient in because I wanted to make a good impression on you."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Alright, now that we're ready, let's go down."

He reached out and took the puppet in his arms, then gently picked up the little girl.

"It might be very dark down there, girl, you'll have to bear with it."

"Brother, you don't need to worry about taking care of me." The little girl nestled obediently in his arms, tilting her innocent face up with earnest eyes: "I will do my best to help."

Su Cheng said gently, "My good girl."

Seeing this, Wen Qimeng pouted and said, "Young Master certainly has the leisure and refined taste, now he even has one on each arm."

"My back is still free, would you like to come up?"

"Hehe~"

The girl chuckled and lightly leaped onto his back, her jade-like legs wrapped around his waist.

She wrapped her arms around Su Cheng's neck, rested her head gently on his shoulder, and breathed softly, saying, "Young Master is becoming more and more considerate these days~"

"In the end, I won't be the one who suffers a loss."

Su Cheng chuckled and leaped into the deep tunnel.

As they fell, their bodies brushed against each other from time to time, and the strange sensation from her chest made Wen Qimeng's body stiffen slightly.

Her face flushed, she buried her head even deeper, remaining silent, her arms unconsciously tightening around herself.

Following the torrent of spiritual energy, they descended hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye.

The narrow tunnel gradually widens, and spiritual energy from all directions converges here, transforming into a mighty river and sea.

Su Cheng walked on air, leaping and dodging among the spiritual currents, when suddenly his brows furrowed.

"There are restrictions and obstacles ahead."

"It's not difficult to break it; let me do it."

As soon as Shi Xuan finished speaking, the invisible barrier blocking their path was opened up.

Su Cheng and his group took advantage of the situation and passed through.

But as he went deeper, he vaguely sensed an unusual aura and caught a glimpse of the system's light screen unfolding.

[Dark energy detected] [Evil energy detected]

"There are indeed some secrets hidden underground."

Su Cheng frowned and moved three times faster.

When the view ahead suddenly opened up, it turned out to be a vast ocean formed from spiritual energy.

An intense, almost tangible spiritual energy washed over them, causing both Xiao Niang and Wen Qimeng to hold their breath, their eyes filled with undisguised awe.

Looking along the torrent of spiritual energy, deep within the spiritual sea, stood a 'black lotus' thousands of feet tall.

The lotus seemed to wriggle slowly as if it were alive, as if it were breathing in and out countless spiritual energies, radiating a terrifying pressure that made people's hearts tremble.

[Detected 'Turbid World Demon Seed', Void Profound Spiritual Material (Incomplete)]

[Detected the Dark Source Array of the Three Fallen Demon Arrays]

This demonic seed is currently undergoing transformation and requires 100,000 divine souls and 1,000 spiritual essences.

"The Heaven-Seizing Alliance is truly insane."

Shi Xuan seemed to recognize the object as well, and said in a solemn tone, "They probably intend to use the entire Tianhuang City as a sacrifice to refine all the cultivators who have come here."

This is how the seed of evil, which brings chaos to the world, was sown.
