In public, Zuo Xiaomo and Lu Lingshan, who reunited after a long separation, did not want to show too much intimacy.
But the entangled gazes between the two exuded a sour smell of love, which attracted more people's attention.
To be honest, after learning the inside story, Wang Chen was not optimistic about the future of the two of them.
Although Zuo Xiaomo and Lu Lingshan have similar family backgrounds and are not direct descendants of the family, the latter's talent far exceeds that of the former and is destined to go further on the road.
By then, Lu Lingshan had recovered from her illness, but Zuo Xiaomo was still stuck in the bottleneck of Qi training, and his identity was misplaced.
Even if Zuo Xiaomo worked hard to rush to the Zi Mansion, but Lu Lingshan condensed the golden elixir, how would the two of them get along?
Even if they could persevere, the pressure from their sect and family would be unbearable.
Of course, regardless of whether it will be good or not, Wang Chen still sincerely hopes that all lovers in the world can become lovers!
"Junior Sister Lingshan, let me introduce you."
After whispering to Lu Lingshan for a long time, Zuo Xiaomo finally remembered Wang Chen: "This is Senior Brother Wang who I told you, and he is also my protector."
"Lingshan has met senior brother."
Lu Lingshan saluted Wang Chen gracefully: "Thank you for taking care of Senior Brother Zuo."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Lu Lingshan was about to say something more when a roar suddenly reached everyone's ears.
The time has come and the door to the Kowloon Underground Palace has opened!
Lu Lingshan immediately stuffed a storage bag into Zuo Xiaomo's hand, pursed her lips and said, "Take care."
Zuo Xiaomo nodded vigorously.
At this moment, a thousand disciples who participated in the outer sect examination began to enter the underground palace one by one.
Every disciple received a copy of the "Kowloon Underground Palace Map".
Their assessment task is to explore the unknown areas in the underground palace, record them on this map, and finally come back to see the results of the exploration to decide whether to pass.
In addition, everyone is equipped with a photo stone, and the recorded photos are also used as the standard for judging results.
Of course, it also has the effect of preventing cheating.
However, Wang Chen felt that it would be unrealistic to prevent the guardians from secretly helping to assess the disciples by relying on such means alone.
It is impossible that the sect is not aware of this, and they probably have other considerations.
He and Zuo Xiaomo stepped into the Kowloon Underground Palace together, walked through the long corridor, and arrived at the Kowloon Hall.
The Kowloon Hall is the real entrance to the Kowloon Underground Palace.
The space here is huge, with a high dome supported by nine huge dragon stone pillars with a diameter of more than ten feet. The countless obsidian inlaid on the cave wall emit a soft light, illuminating the entire hall.
The disciples and guardians who participated in the assessment rushed towards the second Panlong Pillar.
Before they could get close to the stone pillar, they saw a flash of light, and they all disappeared without a trace!
Wang Chen had previously learned about the situation of the Jiulong underground cave, so he knew that they were going to the second floor of the underground palace with the help of the teleportation array in the main hall.
The nine dragon stone pillars in the Kowloon Hall guard nine large teleportation arrays, leading to different levels of the underground palace.
But currently, the only ones that have been activated and can be used are the first and second ones.
Leading to the first and second floors respectively.
So far, Xihaizong's exploration of the Kowloon Underground Palace has only reached part of the second level.
Even the first level has areas that have not yet been fully explored.
The vastness of this secret realm can be seen clearly.
It is said that a hundred years ago, two Nascent Soul Immortals from the Xihai Sect sneaked into the underground palace together in an attempt to break through the restrictions here.
It didn't work out, and I almost got trapped inside.
The Xihai Sect later announced that Immortal Yuanying and Immortal Jindan were prohibited from entering the underground palace.
One theory that is currently circulating is that the Kowloon Underground Palace was built by a certain immortal sect in ancient times for the purpose of testing for its disciples.
However, there are also many unanswered questions in this statement, and the truth has yet to be discovered.
What is certain now is that there are a lot of weird things, monsters and evil spirits inside the Kowloon Underground Palace.
Although it is very dangerous, there are also opportunities to obtain precious materials, spiritual objects, and ancient jade that is equivalent to a blind box!
Since the opening of the Kowloon Underground Palace, there are many examples of Xihaizong disciples getting opportunities and making a fortune there.
There are also rumors that casual cultivators went in and picked up ancient magic weapons!
In short, this is a place where danger and opportunity coexist, and it is an adventure paradise for middle- and lower-class monks!
Wang Chen took out a medium-grade spiritual stone from his storage bag and held it in his hand, and stepped into the teleportation array with Zuo Xiaomo.
The next moment, a ball of spiritual light suddenly exploded in his hand.
The whole person disappeared on the spot.
After a moment of spinning, Wang Chen felt his feet touch the ground.
Vision also returned to normal.
However, what he saw in front of him shocked him!
Because there was no one around, including Zuo Xiaomo, who Wang Chen was responsible for protecting.
Under normal circumstances, everyone teleports to the same location. When they reach the second floor of the underground palace, they disperse to explore new areas.
As a result, now he is alone!
Wang Chen looked around and found that he was in a deserted hilly and mountainous area.
Although it is located underground at an unknown depth, it is not completely dark here. There are many luminous mushrooms growing on the ground, and many of the stone pillars protruding from the ground are inlaid with obsidian.
Ordinary people can also see normally, let alone accomplished monks.
But Wang Chen clearly felt the suppression from the surrounding space.
The concentration of spiritual energy here is quite abundant, but it cannot be compared with the inner mountain gate of Xihai Sect.
He estimated that his cultivation level, in such an environment, could only be used at best at 70% to 80%!
After thinking for a while, Wang Chen took out a talisman letter from his storage bag.
See if you can get in touch with Zuo Xiaomo.
The most troublesome thing now is that Wang Chen doesn't know whether he had an accident alone or whether everyone encountered the same situation.
As a result, after the talisman letter was sent, it spun around and flew back upside down.
failed!
Wang Chen refused to give up and put on the Yao Light Sword.
The results were even worse.
After the Yao Light Sword flew out, it flew around like a headless fly and almost hit the stone pillar next to it.
In desperation, he had no choice but to recall Feijian.
Finally, Wang Chen took out the "Kowloon Underground Palace Map".
This Kantu map was not distributed by the sect, but the latest version that he purchased with his own spiritual stones.
The price is not cheap.
The "Kowloon Underground Palace Map" is also a magic weapon. After injecting magic power and activating it, a detailed map of the second floor of the underground palace will immediately appear on it.
However, Wang Chen did not find his place on it!
In other words, the positioning function of this magical weapon also fails here.
Wang Chen judged from this that he had been teleported to an unknown area.
If Wang Chen wants to return to the ground, he must find an area that has been explored and recorded on the map.
