Immortal Devil Transformation

A small half of Thunder Rolling Mountain collapsed. The report on the exact situation didn’t reach Central Continent City yet, but the earthquake it produced already shook off all of the accumulated snow in Central Continent City. Many roof tiles shattered, the roofs cracking.

In Hua Jiyue’s line of sight, there was an elder who returned to his home, tired from walking. His head was currently raised, looking towards the damage on the roof with a bitter expression.

There were some abandoned workshops even further out.

Those workshops were too worn out, the roofs and walls full of gaps, looking like they might collapse at any time. That was why even if it was a Central Continent City beggar, they wouldn’t even really be willing to make these abandoned workshops their home.

Yunqin military likely searched nearby these abandoned workshops as well, because there were many messy footprints visible.

Only, in Hua Jiyue’s eyes, these seemingly ordinary abandoned workshops were now a bit mysteriously disturbing.

It was because the snow around these workshops was a bit thinner than outside.

Hua Jiyue quietly looked at these abandoned workshops. Then, she produced an elaborate small metal black tube, pinched it forcefully, and then raised it.

A wave of greenish-yellow colored smoke rushed out from the small metal black tube in her hands, rushing into the sky, turning into a thick pillar of smoke.

…

Many people in Central Continent City saw this greenish-yellow pillar of smoke.

Some Yunqin officials immediately reacted. Some of the soldiers who were originally near Hua Jiyue immediately released nervous shouts, and then charged crazily towards the pillar of smoke.

Central Continent’s common people who were also near the abandoned workshops saw more and more armies rush over.

Many people quickly noticed some beautiful colors in the sky. They saw Lin Xi and some cultivators descend towards that yellowish-green colored pillar of smoke together with gorgeous flowers.

“It has already been seven years since these workshops were used. However, seven years ago, they belonged to Rong Family.”

When she saw Lin Xi, Nangong Weiyang, Qin Xiyue and the others arrive before her, Hua Jiyue who was currently talking to several Yunqin officials said with a sunken voice, “The reason for abandoning these workshops seven years ago was a fire. However, for the past seven years, these abandoned workshops have never been taken apart or modified, still continuing to exist. This isn’t normal at all.”

Lin Xi looked at these ruined workshops, feeling like his heart was just as tattered as these workshops, feeling even greater pain. However, he was already starting to become able to endure this type of pain. He took a deep breath, and then slowly said, “Did you discover anything?”

“This is Trade Sector’s Sir Xin. He is currently in charge of dealing with this matter.” Before Lin Xi rushed over, Hua Jiyue already completed all deployments. She pointed at a slightly chubby middle-aged official whose expression was also a bit grim.

This slightly chubby middle-aged official’s head hung slightly, quietly saying, “The fastest way of finding out if there are any mechanisms or hidden rooms is to drill downwards. If we drill down with intervals of a foot, we will be able to quickly notice these things. My men have already left to fetch the equipment, there should be results within an hour.”

“Still too long.”

A voice sounded from not far away.

This slightly chubby middle-aged official couldn’t help but turn around. Even though he still couldn’t endure the changes that took place today, towards mechanisms and secret paths, he was the most authoritative figure in all of Trade Sector, so he naturally had his pride in this field. However, when he saw that this white haired elder who walked out carrying a dark gold colored square plate, his expression suddenly became filled with shock and horror.

“Senior Situ.” This slightly chubby middle-aged official immediately bowed deeply in respect.

Green Luan Academy had long known about True Dragon Mountain’s thunder secret, so today, after Nangong Weiyang took control over True Dragon Mountain, there would naturally be people to research True Dragon Mountain’s formation rune secrets. This white haired elder dressed in an ordinary cotton gown was precisely the most authoritative figure on this matter in Green Luan Academy, at the same time a legendary figure on matters pertaining to mechanisms and runes. Previously, many Trade Sector great families were nothing more than this elder’s disciples.

At this time, this academy elder didn’t stand on ceremony, only directly dragging the dark golden square plate towards the workshops.

He almost didn’t stop at all, directly walking to the northern corner of the workshops.

At the northern corner of the workshops was a pond.

At the center of the pond was a rock garden.

The pond’s water didn’t look that shallow. There were many dried black lotus stems and leaves on the water surface’s thin ice.

“It’s right here.”

This academy elder looked at this pond in front of him, and then said this to Lin Xi, Nangong Weiyang and the others following behind him.

After saying this, this academy elder turned around to leave.

Only when he passed by Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang’s sides did he say, “Your swords should be able to directly tear through.”

Lin Xi understood that this academy senior’s intentions were to hand this place to them. He also only showed this academy elder a bow of respect, and then reached out his hand to call over that Trade Sector official. Under his instructions, all of the other Yunqin soldiers and officials withdrew from these workshops, only their group remaining here.

Nangong Weiyang looked at this calm and cold pond. Her brows furrowed slightly.

The instant her brows furrowed, a streak of sword radiance flew out from her hands, entering the pond’s water.

When this streak of sword radiance entered the pond, it was as if a raging sea’s ocean water suddenly poured into this less than a dozen meters wide pond.

The pond’s water was ice-cold and covered in sheets of ice. However, in this instant, it instead seemed to be boiling. Countless blasts of white air carrying waves of scorching flame aura erupted impatiently from the pond’s water.

Waves of mist drifted out from the pond. Meanwhile, this pond water instead instantly disappeared without a trace.

Under the rock garden was a cave.

Beneath the cave was a flight of stairs covered in endless sludge.

At the end of the stairs was a destroyed iron gate.

Lin Xi immediately stepped on the slippery and cold stairs. He reached out a hand, pushing open the heavy iron gates. Then, he immediately released a painful groan inside.

Behind the iron gate was a tunnel that was as wide as a Yunqin street.

At the end of this hundred meters long tunnel was an underground palace-like workshop.

He could see bright red flames seeping out from some of the walls. He could also see that there were some figures moving about.

However, what made him groan in pain was that at the center of the underground palace sat a massive figure.

The Purgatory Mountain Patriarch divine robed Zhang Ping was sitting precisely at the center of this underground palace. In front of him sat two Flame Titans.

The cloaks on these two Flame Titans were already removed. Under the contrast of these two Flame Titans’ terrifying bodies and the tattoos on their bodies, the coldly seated Zhang Ping was just like a demon king of the underworld.

Lin Xi looked at Zhang Ping’s cold eyes, asking in suffering, “What exactly did we do wrong?”

Zhang Ping was originally seated with sunken eyes, not moving at all. He didn’t even look at Lin Xi whose steps were incomparably heavy, to the extant where he didn’t even look at Qin Xiyue, Nangong Weiyang or the others who followed behind them.

When he heard Lin Xi’s words, only then did he slowly raise his head, some different colors appearing in his cold eyes.

“When I sat down here, I’ve thought over many scenes that might happen after you all arrived. However, I didn’t expect your first words to actually be these.” He quietly spoke with an ice-cold voice, “Even now, you are still wondering if all of you did anything wrong to make me the way I am. Should I praise you for being a good person, or should I say that you are beyond redemption?”
