”When... did you start following me?” Looking at Pei Wanning, who had suddenly appeared behind him, Chen Fei was slightly taken aback, then couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.

He thought that this woman would run away at the sight of him in the future, but who knew she’d secretly follow him here again? Together, they entered this mysterious underground palace. Sigh, this is really...

”Can’t you keep a low profile? Knowing so many people outside are hunting you, you still stir up such a big fuss... How did you know there were hidden secrets beneath the ground?”

Pei Wanning showed no goodwill towards Chen Fei now. She smoothed her hair and spoke coldly.

”Uh.” Chen Fei was again slightly perplexed, touched his nose, and looked at her with a slight smile, ”Missy, are you worried about me?”

”Who would worry about a scoundrel like you! Rogue, bastard...”

Pei Wanning’s tense, pretty face suddenly turned a bit red, looking somewhat unfriendly at Chen Fei, ”I just want my Pei family’s ancestor’s treasure map back! Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me.”

Chen Fei chuckled. He wasn’t stupid; he could tell that her words were somewhat insincere.

”Hmph! What are you laughing about?”

Hearing that smirk from Chen Fei again, Pei Wanning couldn’t help but be infuriated!

Then, she snorted coldly, glaring at Chen Fei with beautiful eyes, lightly biting her silver teeth, ”Do you know how many powerful figures are coming to hunt you down now? If you knew, would you still be laughing like this!?”

”How many?”

Chen Fei looked curious. Whether he could laugh wasn’t important. What mattered was he wanted to know how many idle troublemakers came looking for trouble with him!?

If he managed to escape this time, later, he would deal with them one by one! Teach them a lesson slowly.

”Do you really not know what fear is?” Seeing the slightly arrogant curiosity on Chen Fei’s face, Pei Wanning couldn’t help but stomp her foot, lightly rubbing her silver teeth.

”Now, at least over two hundred people have gathered outside, and figures like Yanb Qingyun and Elder Long Drum are all elite at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm! If they find you, do you think you can escape!? Moreover...”

Pausing here, Pei Wanning lightly bit her soft lip with her silver teeth, her tone cold, ”Moreover, the Yan Zhen Sect also sent people! Do you know who it is!?”

”Who is it?” Chen Fei squinted slightly, a faint cold gleam flashing. This what-kind of Yan Zhen Sect is really a lingering specter!

Do they really think he’s easy to bully?

”Zhul Xing!” Pei Wanning’s tone carried a trace of disgust and coldness as she slowly spoke, ”There aren’t many outstanding young people in the Yan Zhen Sect, but Zhul Xing is the most powerful among them.”

”The most powerful one?” Chen Fei slightly curled his lips, looking at Pei Wanning’s still slightly disgusted, magnificent face, suddenly asking, ”Missy, do you really hate him?”

”Hm?” Pei Wanning’s beautiful eyes suddenly flickered with surprise and astonishment. Then she looked at Chen Fei, speaking faintly, ”It’s none of your business!”

”That guy came to kill me, and it’s none of my business? Why don’t I just leave his life here in this underground palace for you?” Chen Fei shrugged, a trace of viciousness and evil creeping into his voice.

”Are you crazy! Why are you being so impulsive?”

Pei Wanning’s face changed, her heart trembled slightly, looking at Chen Fei with a tone full of caution, ”I’m telling you, Zhul Xing is the most powerful among the Yan Zhen Sect’s young generation! And there’s even a rumor that the Yan Zhen Sect intends to appoint him as the next Sect Master!”

Pausing here, Pei Wanning continued, ”Moreover, this person has extraordinary talent! He’s less than fifty years old, yet now he’s a peak expert at the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, and his combat power is comparable to an average person at the Third Heavenly Layer... Therefore, he was exceptionally promoted to the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen! Before him, almost no one could secure that position with a peak Second Heavenly Layer cultivation, but Zhul Xing did.”

”Is that so?” Chen Fei indifferently twitched his lips, nonchalantly nodding.

Genius? A peak Second Heavenly Layer at under fifty years old?

Sounds impressive... but once he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, even if it’s just the First Heavenly Layer, he can easily handle opponents like that with one hand!

So, he doesn’t need to pay attention to such people at all.

Since they’ve come all this way to trouble him, they should just fight as they should!

Who’s afraid of who!?

”You, sigh...” Seeing the same indifferent attitude on Chen Fei’s face, Pei Wanning unexpectedly felt a bit angry. Her pretty face turned cold, her tone also nonchalant, ”Since you don’t care about your life, then forget it, hmph!”

Chen Fei paused upon hearing this, then laughed.

”Don’t worry, missy, a guy like that, I could play with him to death with a flick of my fingers...”

”Buzz!”

Before Chen Fei finished his sentence, the depths of the underground palace suddenly resonated with an eerie hum, sending chills down their spines. Chen Fei’s unfinished words were swallowed, his brows slightly furrowed, looking into the dark depths.

”This wretched place is truly bizarre,” Chen Fei murmured to himself and unexpectedly reached out to pull Pei Wanning up, saying, ”Follow me, be careful... this damn place is somewhat eerie.”

”You, what are you doing? Let go of me!” Pei Wanning’s face changed color, turning slightly red, especially when Chen Fei’s large hand grabbed and pulled her up, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.

However, although she put on a brave front and told Chen Fei to let her go, she didn’t take any subsequent action herself. She let Chen Fei hold onto her hand.

If this scene were seen by others and spread around, one can’t imagine how many admirers of Pei Wanning in Ghost Wolf City would be furious and go mad, wanting to break Chen Fei’s bones...

”Let’s go deeper and take a look. Be careful.” Chen Fei said, with all his thoughts focused on the eerie depths of the underground palace, as he cautiously led Pei Wanning deeper inside.

However, just as Chen Fei and Pei Wanning continued to choose to go deeper, they saw that in the dimly lit corners behind them, shadows began to appear one after another.

The way these shadows existed was incredibly strange, as if they were floating in mid-air, faintly visible, surrounded by sinister and powerful demon qi!

And just by appearing this way, they influenced the surrounding tunnel walls, causing them to begin to gradually decay... layers of ancient earth turned to ashes.

”These damned humans! Fourth Prince, we’ve worked so hard to maintain this secret, will we let them ruin it?” An elderly voice spoke, somewhat evil and incensed, making one’s skin crawl!

Upon hearing this, another pair of dim, ink-green demonic pupils coldly narrowed.

”Heh...” Then, he let out a soft sneer, with a trace of disdain and chill passing through his demon eyes. Following that, a proud and evil voice slowly emerged.

”You mean those wastes? What can they do? If we weren’t worried about other forces taking advantage, our clan would have already flattened their city!”

He said disdainfully, his eyes fixated on the depths of the underground palace, ”Let those ants jump around for a bit; perhaps they might even help us, who knows? Hehe...”

He laughed strangely and then hid in the darkness again. The other shadows vanished with him, as though they had never appeared.

...

Chen Fei and Pei Wanning cautiously penetrated for tens of minutes, and then saw, at the end of the dark tunnel, there appeared a collapsed palace.

”Let’s go in and take a look.” Relying on his still usable divine sense, Chen Fei entered the collapsed palace.

The first thing that caught his eye were seven or eight huge stone statues in varying poses. They were all kneeling in one direction. Chen Fei looked at these seven or eight eerie statues, stopped, and frowned slightly.

”What’s wrong? Aren’t these just ordinary statues?” Pei Wanning asked in confusion. To her, these seemed like ordinary statues.

”Ordinary statues? These... don’t seem very ordinary.” Chen Fei murmured to himself, and suddenly, those seven or eight huge stone statues slowly opened their eyes, revealing astonishing brilliance and terrifying demon light.

Boom!

Rumble!

Roar! Roar! Roar...

They let out terrifying roars, causing the collapsed palace to shake and echo continuously, stirring up powerful gusts of wind in the cold underground palace.

”What! What is this?” Seeing this, Pei Wanning looked at those suddenly enraged monstrous stone statues with wide eyes, incredulous and amazed.

”Life Puppets.” Chen Fei’s eyes were slightly serious. Clearly, he had not expected to encounter such things here.

”Life Puppets? What are those?” Pei Wanning asked, utterly puzzled. Obviously, she had no idea what they were.

”You mean these are Life Puppets?” Instead, a stunned voice from Zhen Jingkong echoed in his mind. Life Puppets were extremely rare even in the Inner Region!

Because these belong to the tier of Primordial Core True Lord Realm experts...

Here, there are Life Puppets?

”Most likely,” Chen Fei said with a serious expression.

”Let’s withdraw for now.”

Chen Fei pulled Pei Wanning towards the exit of the collapsed palace. He said, ”These are a kind of puppets, but their existence is extremely advanced... anyway, they have quite a formidable origin and are formidable themselves.”

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz...

Just as Chen Fei was about to pull Pei Wanning out, from another direction at the entrance of the collapsed ruins, sudden whooshing sounds came!

Immediately afterward, a group of people quickly appeared there.
