Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1350 - 1349: Underground City

The underground of Wanxian City is akin to the sewers of the modern world.

This is the underground world that has existed since the creation of Wanxian City.

Because of the abundance of spiritual energy, some cultivators, wanting more spiritual energy, often venture boldly into it.

However...

In the underground city, it is equally fair.

There are many strange beasts underground, and after consuming plentiful spiritual energy, they become extremely powerful. Any weak cultivator, attempting to gain more, may instead become food for these beasts.

In the secret chamber.

Hong He and Fang Yu, along with others, stood before a round, large door.

On it was a complex hexagram array, and the black lines suggested that this door had not been opened for a long time.

This was the gate to the underground city.

"Everyone, once you open this door, a straight path leads to the underground spirit pond of the Central City. Here is a map in front of me; please take a look before you enter."

A piece of paper fluttered before the group.

Fang Yu looked at that paper.

The underground city is like an eight diagrams dungeon, with only five passages from the outermost area to the center. Four passages are underground gates of the Four Great Cities, and the last one is at the top of the Central City.

The inner area forms a vast, interwoven space, also the place where fierce beasts frequently roam.

The entire underground space, when constructed originally, had enormous arrays inscribed to make the beasts believe this was the boundary of the space.

"I never imagined the underground city would be so vast," said Chen Daotian, amazed.

Hong He nodded, pointing to the center of the map, "The spirit pond is here, spanning a hundred miles around. The exact amount of spiritual energy left depends on the supply of spirit stones... Furthermore, earlier Mr. Fang mentioned the Lu Family's backyard being quite strange, so I suspect the Lu Family is also siphoning the spirit pond's energy. If he has broken through to the peak of Primordial Human Immortal, it indicates at least a fifth of the energy has been stolen. Be cautious when you go in."

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be secretly surprised that breaking through to Primordial Human Immortal consumed only a fifth of the energy, indicating the immense energy of the spirit pond.

Everyone nodded.

Hong He said, "Get ready, let's open the door!"

He stepped forward.

The underground city gates of the Five Great Cities can only be opened by the City Lord.

So...

After Hong He stepped up, he placed his large hand on the hexagram array there.

An energy flowed into the array, causing it to light up.

Squeak squeak—

Squeak—

The door slowly opened.

Pitch black, like a tunnel leading into a bottomless black hole, appeared before their eyes.

As Hong He mentioned, although there is strong spiritual energy, there is also an immense sense of oppression. This feeling is brought about by the array to suppress the fierce beasts of the underground city.

"Good luck," Hong He said calmly.

"City Lord Hong... Rest assured. You have always underestimated my capabilities."

Fang Yu snapped his fingers, and with a crackling sound, a golden light flashed, and the Nine Layer Tower enveloped the five companions.

Of course, Xu Zhaopei found an excuse and didn't come. She has an ordinary bloodline and only needs to stay at the City Lord Mansion, relying on the cloak, to protect the Lu Family if necessary. Even if Lu Ming came, he would suffer. That way, it would be a one-hit kill to eliminate future threats. But likewise... Xu Zhaopei is also at risk. She is, after all, only a Ninth Layer Martial Artist, and martial artists are incredibly weak in the eyes of cultivators. In Wanxian City, any cultivator possesses an artifact spirit.

It's as if every cultivator carries a protective wolfhound by their side, and this wolfhound can easily kill Xu Zhaopei.

So...

Under no circumstances will Fang Yu let Xu Zhaopei act, nor can she reveal her identity.

...

Hong He was startled to see Ye Wenjun and the others suddenly vanish, then commented, "I didn't expect Mr. Fang's divine artifact to be so powerful! I'm more at ease now..."

Fang Yu nodded and said:

"I'll be back soon."

Having said that.

Fang Yu's figure also vanished on the spot, entering the Nine Layer Tower.

Under the control of its artifact spirit, the Nine Layer Tower entered the dark passage.

...

Inside the Nine Layer Tower.

Fang Yu willed the windows of the Nine Layer Tower to become more transparent.

The group felt as if they were onboard a spaceship, able to see the outside world.

Coincidentally, the outside world was pitch black, with many firefly-like energies floating around, reminiscent of stars.

Xu Sisi couldn't help but marvel, "This world truly resembles the universe… so beautiful."

The terminally straightforward Chen Daotian remarked, "Those are probably bats; they glow after consuming spiritual energy..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"..."

"There's nothing around, probably just walls. Sisi, you're overthinking it," Chen Daotian added.

"..."

Though straightforward, it was true.

The underground city is just a sewer.

In these tunnels, what cosmic starry sky could there be, it's all just walls.

The Nine Layer Tower, like a spaceship, flew continuously forward.

After about half an hour of flying.

The little elf reminded, "Master, ahead we are leaving the tunnel area and entering the Central City area where there will be many fierce beasts. I need to avoid those beasts, so there will be some turbulence."

Fang Yu nodded and said, "Everyone be careful, it's going to be a bit bumpy ahead!"

"Alright!"

Sure enough.

The Nine Layer Tower began moving up, down, left, and right, dodging obstacles one after another.

The space ahead noticeably expanded dramatically.

This continued for about another half an hour.

The Nine Layer Tower's speed slowed down.

Everything became extremely quiet.

"Master... We've reached the central area. The spiritual energy around is very abundant; this should be the spirit pond," the little elf said.

"Good."

The Nine Layer Tower slowly landed.

In the central area, there was nothing. The surroundings felt like mist.

"Collect!"

At the moment when the Nine Layer Tower suddenly disappeared, the five people landed simultaneously.

The five hall masters felt the immense pressure of the space!

"Is this the underground spirit pond? My God… it feels like swamp gas!"

It's all mist around.

But this is the hallmark of the highest abundance of spiritual energy.

Fang Yu nodded, "This is the central area; the spiritual energy is very abundant, but within it lies a trace of... evil energy."

"Evil energy? Why would there be evil energy?" everyone exclaimed in shock.

"It indicates there's something evil underground. But don't worry, I'll figure out how to shield this place to prevent being discovered... If others are also stealing the spiritual energy here, we could easily detect each other. So... I'll use the Nine Layer Tower to shield you, engage in time conversion, and then absorb energy for cultivation," Fang Yu said.

"Alright! That's a good plan," Chen Daotian said.

"The only thing to worry about is... the Nine Layer Tower is a divine artifact; when exerting its power, it might be detected, so... the very center isn't advisable," Fang Yu said.

"Then where should we choose?"

"The place farthest from South City... North City."

Fang Yu pointed to the north!
