My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1535: Purple Cloud Cave Mansion

Hiss!

The giant serpent angrily lifted its head from the ground, eyes cold, tongue flicking, staring at Xiao Zheng, its body twisting as it charged at him once more.

Just now, Xiao Zheng’s punch had sent it flying, crashing through a large tree, yet it seemed unharmed.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, "This serpent has quite the thick skin." Even as he marveled, the serpent charged again.

A slight smile appeared on Xiao Zheng’s lips. Despite its decent defensive power, it was still far behind him.

Boom!

Xiao Zheng didn’t even bother to dodge, throwing out a punch just as before, but this time with much greater force.

Bang!

A muffled sound. Xiao Zheng’s fist directly struck the serpent’s head, twisting it abruptly before it exploded in mid-air.

Boom!

Blood spurted out.

The serpent’s body quickly retreated backward, this time crashing through several large trees before stopping.

Xiao Zheng looked over and quickly noticed that although the serpent’s head had been smashed, the giant serpent’s body was still writhing!

Rumble...

The serpent’s body housed immense power, twisting and crushing many big trees, causing continuous loud noises.

"Such tenacious vitality!" Witnessing this, even Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sigh with amazement. Indeed, in this primeval forest, there were all sorts of exotic creatures.

"Oh no!"

Suddenly, Xiao Zheng exclaimed.

"I was just about to check if this serpent had any connection to the Golden Bone, but now I’ve accidentally killed it. How can I find its lair?" Xiao Zheng’s face showed a troubled expression.

Finally, he shook his head and left, starting a careful search in the area. Given the serpent’s enormous size, it should have left all sorts of traces while moving, so finding its lair shouldn’t be too difficult.

Of course, before leaving, Xiao Zheng unceremoniously extracted the giant serpent’s gallbladder, then swallowed it.

At that moment, his body became extremely hot!

The gallbladder of this giant serpent was far more potent than that of the previous small Red Spot Soul-devouring Snake. After refining it, Xiao Zheng felt his internal Gang Qi surging and almost boiling.

"I had already broken through to the Middle-stage Martial Saint before, and now with the increasing Gang Qi, I’m getting closer to the Late Stage Martial Saint." A trace of joy emerged in Xiao Zheng’s heart.

Perhaps, in this primeval forest, he could break through to the Late Stage Martial Saint!

Then, Xiao Zheng began searching carefully. He was swift and had exceptionally strong spiritual power, so he managed to conduct a thorough sweep of the area without much effort.

However, after completing the search, Xiao Zheng felt frustrated because he found nothing.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but shake his head. "Since I can’t find it, never mind, I’ll continue deeper." With that, he ventured further into the depths of the primeval forest.

But just a few steps forward, a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he stopped, hiding behind a large tree, concealing all traces of his presence.

Before him, a few people emerged from deep within the dense forest — an old man and a young man and woman.

The old man was dressed in azure garments resembling ancient attire, his face stern and grave, his demeanor somewhat sinister, exuding an air of hostility.

The young man and woman appeared to be seventeen or eighteen, dressed fashionably, even wearing short sleeves in the dense forest. The woman was in hot pants, revealing her snow-white and slender legs.

Both wore faintly arrogant expressions, and even in the deserted forest, they held their heads high like proud peacocks.

Upon emerging from the forest, the trio stopped. The woman complained, "Grandpa Qi, why haven’t we found the Purple Cloud Cave Mansion yet? We’ve been in this forest for almost three days, and it’s damp and cold here, not fun at all."

The young man chuckled, "Little sister, stop complaining. The legendary Purple Cloud Cave Mansion was left by an elder in the Martial Arts World, containing many precious items. Finding it will benefit us greatly! What’s a little hardship for that?"

Unconvinced, the woman said, "Martial Arts World elder, I think it’s all a scam!"

The old man shook his head and said, "Impossible. The source of our information is very reliable, there’s no mistake."

After a pause, the old man urged, "Keep moving, don’t stop. We will find it." He then continued walking forward.

The woman stomped her foot but dared not defy the old man’s will and followed. The young man hurriedly followed as well.

Xiao Zheng watched as the trio moved in his direction. He subtly shifted around the tree, ensuring he remained in their blind spot, so they never detected his presence.

Xiao Zheng was secretly amazed, "Purple Cloud Cave Mansion? What kind of place is that? The giant Red Spot Soul-devouring Snake I saw earlier was enormous and somewhat intelligent. Could it have some connection to this Purple Cloud Cave Mansion?"

Xiao Zheng had ventured to the southern Ten Thousand Mountains for training, seeking to hone his skills amidst the ferocious beasts and treacherous landscapes. Naturally, he wouldn’t pass up this opportunity and quietly followed the trio.

With his combat prowess at the level of a Peak Martial Saint, once Xiao Zheng decided to tail them, the trio had no chance of noticing him. They simply continued their journey through the dense forest.

Before long, the trio arrived at a clearing in the forest. Although it appeared unremarkable, the old man’s face suddenly lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "Found it!"

The woman rejoiced, "Found it? That’s wonderful!"

The man’s face also couldn’t conceal his happiness.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng was puzzled. He had searched this area earlier and found nothing unusual. What had they discovered?

Now, Xiao Zheng hid behind a large tree, slightly sticking out his head to observe their actions.

Then, he saw the old man take out a Jade Pendant from his chest, infuse it with Gang Qi, then press it onto the ground.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the ground began to shake violently, dust rising skyward, then spreading aside to reveal a deep crevice. Within the crevice appeared to be a staircase leading downward.
