Chapter 99: Underground City of Traps

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The next day, Sect Master Immortal Dan Yang really began to gather people to go to Hulao Mountain.

As the strongest disciple of the Medicine Celestial Valley, Cheng Xu was naturally among them.

“The situation is too sudden.” After a few simple words of mobilization, Perfected Dan Yang personally led the team and set off. “I’ve just received news that the various Devil Dao sects have already sent a large number of cultivators to Hulao Mountain. We must not let the Devil Dao beat us to it.”

The treasure ship slowly rose into the air and set sail, carrying the elites of the younger generation of the Medicine Celestial Valley.

“Why? The entrance to the ancient ruins isn’t occupied? You can even let the Devil Dao in?” Cheng Xu was puzzled.

“It’s useless to occupy it,” Immortal Dan Yang explained. “That mysterious old man seemed to have taken something from the ruins, causing the ruins to become extremely unstable. If a cultivator above the Foundation Establishment stage enters, it will easily cause the entire ruins to collapse. Therefore, in order to prevent the Demonic Path from secretly plotting, we can only explore together with the Demonic Path.”

Cheng Xu nodded.

“Oh right, Sect Master Martial Uncle, did the various sects find any useful information about Hulao Mountain?”

Perfected Dan Yang sighed and shook his head. “Hulao Mountain is just a very ordinary mountain, and there are no Spirit Veins in the mountain. I just didn’t expect that there would be an ancient ruin hidden in Hulao Mountain.”

“You didn’t find any useful records?”

“No, I haven’t.” “In the various sources, the records regarding Hulao Mountain are basically just a passing remark.”

“Then in your opinion, what will be in the ruins of Hulao Mountain?”

“As for the specifics, you will only know when you enter.”

Hulao Mountain was not very far from the Medicine Celestial Valley.

About half a day later, the treasured ship successfully arrived in the sky above Hulao Mountain.

The teams from the other four sects also arrived one after another. It was worth mentioning that the demonic team led by the Blood Demon Sect Master had already taken their positions long ago. They stood on both sides of Hulao Mountain with the righteous team, secretly confronting each other.

The leader of the Righteous Path alliance was naturally Fu Yunzi.

“Fellow Daoist Fu Yunzi, is everyone here?” The Blood Demon Cult Master impatiently urged, “Once everyone is here, hurry up and send someone in to investigate. This old man can feel that the secret of the great battle ten thousand years ago is hidden in these ruins.”

Fu Yunzi glanced down at the entrance of the ruins and remained silent.

He could clearly feel that the bronze fragment in his hand had some kind of connection with this ruin.

Thinking about it carefully, the feeling that the ruins in front of him gave him was indeed somewhat similar to the ruins he had explored back then.

“Little Uncle-Master, do you have anything to say?” Daoist Master Tan Yun asked in a low voice.

Fu Yunzi nodded his head and then reminded everyone with his spiritual sense, “There’s a high chance that this ruin is similar to the ruin that 1 explored back then, so it’s very likely that another bronze fragment is hidden. After you enter, prioritize searching for that fragment.”

After learning that the second bronze fragment was likely to be hidden in the ruins, the various sects were shocked.

“May 1 ask where Senior Fu Yunzi’s ruins were?” Huyan Lie, the leader of the Scorching Sun Sect, asked with a frown.

“Endless Desolate Domain.”

Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and the others were shocked again. They did not expect Fu Yunzi to have been to the Endless Desolate Domain back then.

“Hiss… No wonder the Devil Dao wants to send people to the Endless Desolate Domain.” “Yes.” The Mystic Arts Sect’s Sect Master nodded secretly. “By the way, Senior, what is the exact scene inside the ruins? Is there anything that 1 need to pay attention to?”

“The interior of the ruins is connected in all directions, and most of them are magic treasures and mechanisms. The only things worth paying attention to are those strange golems,” said Fu Yunzi.

Hearing the words golem, Cheng Xu’s heart couldn’t help but beat wildly.

The mechanical puppet that Fu Yunzi was talking about was probably not a robot!

“This is the internal structure of the ruins from back then. Although it might not be suitable for this ruin, it can be used as a reference.”

Fu Yunzi transcribed a dozen jade slips on the spot and handed them to the team leaders.

Naturally, Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and the others formed a new generation of Milky Way Battleships.

Just like that, after Fu Yunzi briefly negotiated with the Blood Demon Cult Master, he began to arrange for the teams to enter the ruins in turn.

The fiends seemed to be more anxious than them. The group of people jumped in majestically without the slightest hesitation.

In comparison, the Righteous Path teams were much calmer.

The small teams entered in an orderly manner.

Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and a few others flew to the top of the entrance. They looked at the spatial barrier at the crack in the mountain below and jumped in after exchanging a glance.

The moment his body entered the space, the surrounding space began to twist rapidly.

When his vision became clear again, he was already in an underground palace made of steel and full of steampunk style.

As far as the eye could see, the underground palace was filled with dense metal pipes. Giant gears were deeply embedded in the metal walls. From time to time, one could hear the sound of mechanical failures.

“Oh my, so it’s an underground city of traps?” Huyan Zan clicked his tongue in wonder.

Not far away, the Demonic Path teams had already spread out and started to explore separately.

The team led by Demoness Xu Lu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they looked at Cheng Xu and the others with interest. “Are you interested in coming along?”

“No thanks.” “Let’s just rely on our own abilities.” Liu Qiao sneered disdainfully.

“Fellow Daoist Liu really doesn’t know how to appreciate romance!”

Xu Lu smiled charmingly and led Jiang Hong and the others deeper into the underground palace.

After some discussion, the Righteous Path teams also began to move separately.

Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and the others naturally took the lead and entered the core area of the underground palace.

Needless to say, the map Fu Yunzi gave them really came in handy. Although some places were different from the map, they were generally the same.

“Let’s find that bronze fragment first.”

Yan Changfeng led the way while checking the map in the jade slip.

“We should be at the top of the city. We need to find the passage to the lower level first.”

The few of them followed behind Yan Changfeng silently, constantly on guard against any movements around them.

As refiners, Cheng Xu and Huyan Zan were very interested in the mechanical structure of the Mechanical City.

Along the way, he could vaguely make a rough judgment.

“If I’m not wrong, this entire City of Traps is probably one.” Huyan Zan analyzed the structure of the pipes and gears while paying attention to them. “But what was the purpose of building such an underground city?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Changfeng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“Be careful!”

The underground palace in front seemed to have sensed that an outsider had intruded. The gears on the wall began to rotate rapidly, and the entire passageway rumbled.

Soon, cannon barrels protruded out from the walls on both sides and aimed at everyone.

Although Yan Changfeng and the others had never seen a gun before, they could sense the danger emanating from the barrel. They hurriedly activated all kinds of defensive skills and magical equipment.

“Watch me!”

Liu Qiao took out his Array Disk and formed three layers of Defensive Array to protect everyone.

At the same time, the energy in the cannons had already been condensed and shot out energy beams.

Bang!

The power of the beam cannonball was average, and it couldn’t even break through Liu Qiao’s defensive array, so it naturally couldn’t hurt anyone.

Furthermore, after firing two shots, the cannons began to misfire.

“Has the energy been exhausted?” Xue Lingyu guessed.

“It should be.” Cheng Xu nodded and analyzed. “This Mechanical City has been in disrepair for a long time. It’s already not easy for many of the defensive devices to be usable.”

Even so, for safety reasons, Cheng Xu still took out his +7 New Flying Sword.

There was no doubt about the power of the new flying sword. With a few slashes, it destroyed more than ten cannon barrels.

Huyan Zan could tell at a glance that the flying sword was extraordinary. “Brother Cheng, this flying sword was refined from the parts of that giant magic treasure, right?”

“What, you didn’t use that material to forge a flying sword?”
