Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 654: Coming to the Underground Palace

Chapter 654: Coming to the Underground Palace

...

Lower levels of the Demon Sealing Pagoda.

Facing the frenzied siege of the demon beasts, Wu E was gradually finding it difficult to cope alone.

"Damn it, have these monsters gone crazy? Rushing to their deaths?!"

It used the Taotie's innate divine ability, swallowing another several dozen monsters that pounced on it in one gulp.

But it ultimately wasn't the true Taotie, merely a crude imitator. Even though it could control the bloodline power of the Muscle Tyrant, it couldn't unleash its full strength. After devouring only about a hundred demon beasts, it not only gained very little nourishing power in return,

but was actually starting to feel a bit full.

"Should I just leave the Demon Sealing Pagoda first and wait for that person outside?"

Wu E retreated step by step toward the Demon Sealing Pagoda's entrance.

Just as it was about to flee the Demon Sealing Pagoda,

Chen Huaian returned, emerging from the mist.

And the surrounding monsters, as if receiving some command, all stopped their attacks and retreated to the corners where they had been hiding before.

The entire Demon Sealing Pagoda suddenly fell silent.

Only Chen Huaian's composed footsteps could be heard.

While Wu E breathed a sigh of relief, it also felt uneasy and suspicious in its heart.

This C Province Exorcist Division Governor—Chen Huaian—has some skills...

Why don't the surrounding monsters attack him?

Could it be...

Hearing Wu E's internal muttering, Chen Huaian couldn't help but sneer coldly.

He had absorbed Bai Ze's power. Forget not attacking him, these monsters would even show him some respect.

"Muscle Tyrant, why were you being attacked by these monsters?" He walked directly up to Wu E and asked with feigned confusion: "Clearly, before when you were in the Demon Sealing Pagoda, those monsters would avoid you."

Wu E's heart skipped a beat.

A chill shot straight up to the crown of its head.

Especially when it saw the suspicious look Chen Huaian shot its way.

Had he discovered it?

It didn't have much strength right now. If it were truly discovered, it probably wouldn't be a match.

Because Chen Huaian's aura had become stronger.

He had actually reached the Nascent Soul stage in less than a quarter of an hour since he disappeared earlier!

So he went to break through just now...

Wu E didn't have time to think too much, racking its brains for an excuse.

"Ah... Big Boss, I, I didn't plan to open the Well of Heaven before, but I tried it today, and then these monsters suddenly started attacking me."

"So that's how it is." Chen Huaian nodded: "These monsters' duty is to guard the Well of Heaven. If you want to open it, how could they just stand by and watch?" ṙÁℕ𝐨ʙÈʂ

Wu E breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness this person is easy to fool, deceived by just one sentence.

Chen Huaian, however, laughed inwardly—still trying to figure out his identity, I'll scare you to death.

Wu E originally wanted to urge Chen Huaian to open the Well of Heaven.

But after what Chen Huaian just did, it didn't dare speak anymore.

Afraid that saying something wrong would make Chen Huaian suspicious of it again.

Chen Huaian definitely needed to open the Well of Heaven.

Because those guarding the Well of Heaven weren't these monsters.

But rather the ancient fierce beasts commanding the monster hordes in the lower levels of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, and the ancient auspicious beasts waiting in the upper levels of the Demon Sealing Pagoda for him, the Dragon Soul successor.

When the fierce beasts died and the auspicious beasts sacrificed themselves, the shackles of the Well of Heaven were already opened, only needing the final push.

Even if they did nothing, before long, the accumulated Spiritual Energy in the Well of Heaven would burst forth.

The persona Chen Huaian was currently using was that of an elder of the Kunlun Immortal Palace.

The Kunlun Immortal Palace had the mission to open the Well of Heaven, so he needed to play this role well.

Without hesitation, he deliberately said to Wu E: "This Venerable One is now going to open the Well of Heaven. Are you willing to come with This Venerable One?"

Hearing this, Wu E was overjoyed, but showed no expression on the surface, only nodding and bowing as it said: "I'll go! I'm Big Boss's cat, of course I need to follow behind Big Boss to protect him."

Chen Huaian chuckled. In Wu E's ears, that laughter sounded pleased.

But only Chen Huaian knew how sinister his laughter truly was.

From Wu E's mental activities, he could tell that although he didn't know where this evil creature came from,

both it and the master behind it also aimed to open the Well of Heaven.

It was probably just because the fierce beasts guarding the Well of Heaven were too powerful,

and only he, the Dragon Soul successor, could handle the auspicious beasts on the other side.

So they couldn't open the Well of Heaven themselves.

Then what was their urgent purpose for wanting to open the Well of Heaven?

He didn't know now, but he felt that as long as he kept this evil creature by his side for a while,

before long, just using Bai Ze's ability, he would understand most of it.

Usually fishing for information, he might even be able to deduce this evil creature's identity and where it came from.

...

Meanwhile, at the Kunlun Immortal Palace.

"Elder Chen is truly prescient."

Hua Jin the True One looked at the chaotic scene of the Kunlun Immortal Palace with a gloomy expression.

Where was the luxurious and magnificent appearance the Kunlun Immortal Palace usually had at this moment?

Crumbling walls and scattered debris, corpses strewn everywhere.

Some of these corpses were left behind from the killings by Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng.

But most were left from the fighting among the Ascenders from various sects—the Kunlun Immortal Palace was now filled with Ascenders from other sects.

They were frantically plundering all the resources within the Kunlun Immortal Palace, with different sects even fighting fiercely among themselves.

"Hua Jin, your Kunlun Immortal Palace doesn't have much deterrent power over those lower sects, does it~"

Zhang Yibai pointed at the crowd fighting over a secret manual in the Immortal Palace's main hall and said with a smile: "Your Kunlun Immortal Palace has just suffered a setback, and these sects are already coming to steal things. It shows that their usual respect for your Kunlun Immortal Palace was all fake!"

Hua Jin shook her head with a bitter smile: "Senior Zhang, respect is built on the foundation of power suppression. Now that the news of my crippling as the Leader has probably spread everywhere, it's already good enough that they haven't dragged me out and killed me."

"You're right. To be respected, one must have strength."

Zhang Yibai rolled up his sleeves, a flash of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

"Then let's use absolute martial power to make these sects bow their heads in submission once more!"

Since Chen Huaian planned to support Hua Jin the True One and control her and the Kunlun Immortal Palace,

then now Hua Jin the True One and the Kunlun Immortal Palace were their own people, their territory.

How could they tolerate so many Ascender sects running wild on their territory?

"Little Gu, deal with those lackeys in the Immortal Palace's main hall!" Zhang Yibai's Divine Sense spread out overwhelmingly, quickly locking onto several powerful auras deep within the Kunlun Immortal Palace: "This old man will go near the Kunlun Immortal Palace treasure vault and slaughter those big fish!"

"Yes!" Gu Changsheng grabbed his sword and charged toward the Immortal Palace's main hall.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yibai flashed away, riding violent air currents as he swiftly flew toward the direction of the Kunlun Immortal Palace treasure vault.

Sensing the powerful auras from Gu Changsheng and Zhang Yibai, Hua Jin the True One knew that the first major obstacle to rebuilding the Kunlun Immortal Palace had been resolved.

"Your Eminence, the two seniors are going alone. We should also do our part."

Wang Shouyi said to Hua Jin the True One: "Should we go help too?"

Just as Hua Jin the True One was about to nod,

suddenly, a terrifying will descended in her mind.

Obscure, mysterious, like a cage freezing her soul inch by inch.

The feeling of her soul being instantly imprisoned made her feel as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.

That will conveyed only one cold command to her.

—Come to the Underground Palace!
