Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2216: Chapter 2217: Palace

However, what Chen Jie is most concerned about now is, what exactly is their purpose as they stated?

It doesn’t seem like they want to kill them, if that were the case, killing them on the spot would be much more convenient than now.

With Chen Jie and Sun Tianming surrounded in the center by several burly men, it was as if they were criminals being watched closely, following the person at the very front, and constantly moving forward.

After walking for a long time, Lin Chen, who was carried on a burly man’s shoulder, had already woken up several times during the process, but each time he woke up and they wanted to make a move, the man behind them would extend a finger and make a point in the air, causing Lin Chen to groan and fall into unconsciousness again.

This gave them absolutely no chance to act. In fact, even if they did act, it wouldn’t stir up too much trouble. The pressure brought about by an absolute power disparity is truly hard to resist.

...

After an unknown amount of time, under the guidance of these burly men, they finally arrived at the entrance of a cave.

In front of the cave entrance, a few mottled weeds are hanging, the leaves are a mixture of green and yellow, straight up to the top of the cave before dropping down, forming a natural cover that hides the scene inside the cave.

”Go in!”

Just as Chen Jie and Sun Tianming were observing the area, the burly man behind them mercilessly kicked them. Though the kick carried no Spiritual Energy, it felt like an iron board, instantly bruising Sun Tianming’s leg. He hissed and had no choice but to follow the burly man ahead into the cave.

The cave was extremely narrow, and surrounded by several burly men, it was difficult to turn around.

Being carried on the shoulder, Lin Chen was even more pitiful. The burly man’s figure was already enormous, and had no intention of bending down, so during the walk with Lin Chen, Lin Chen’s back and the sides would collide with the rock edges, causing the stones to cut his back with wounds.

The only fortunate thing was that Lin Chen’s physique was better, plus he was still unconscious, so he made no sound.

The cave entrance extended downward, seemingly reaching the Earth’s core. After walking for nearly an hour, this narrow passage finally opened up.

At the end of the passage, there was a large palace, entirely constructed of black rock, pitch black like ink, only with a large floating luminous pearl at the top of the palace, emitting a shining light illuminating the palace.

”How can there be a palace here?”

Sun Tianming and Chen Jie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment. Were it the ordinary world, it wouldn’t be enough to shock them this deeply, but now they were in the Spiritual Realm created by the former Sect Master!

Even when the Sect Master was still alive, the Spiritual Realm wouldn’t open frequently, and now even more so, who would be so bored as to build a palace within!

Yet before them, this palace truly exists here. Judging by the craftsmanship outside the palace, it was not something that could be completed in just a few years.

Thinking of this, Sun Tianming shuddered and looked at the man, feeling that this person must have a remarkable background. Who could know about these things?

But clearly, the burly men didn’t let him think more. Under their guidance, Sun Tianming slowly walked forward.

The palace was still several meters away from the end of the passage, and as they moved, a sudden flame lit up on both sides, leading straight to the palace’s stairs.

Under the firelight’s display, Chen Jie lowered her head, her pupils shrinking involuntarily, her fair face turning stark white, as she saw that the path they were walking was filled with sticky blood.

The blood seemed like it hadn’t dried, stepping on it felt as if it would seep into her skin. And among the blood, pale skeletons intermittently emerged.

They swam through the blood, occasionally revealing decayed flesh from their pale eye sockets or mouths...

Such a scene made Chen Jie’s hair stand on end, her body covered in goosebumps.

This was like a living hell, and despite Chen Jie and Sun Tianming’s experience, their expressions couldn’t help but reveal their fear.

”Don’t be afraid, these things won’t do anything to you.”

Seemingly sensing their fear, the man behind them casually remarked, with his words, those skeletons quickly swam away, fearful of colliding with those before them.

Yet even so, it was hard to dispel the coldness in their hearts, such a scene truly made them feel immensely terrified.

Fortunately, the road wasn’t very long.

They raised their heads slightly, walking forward, not much time afterwards, they had already left that place, stepping onto the upper stairs.

This finally allowed both of them to breathe a sigh of relief, while inwardly astonished, exchanging looks, they could perceive the shock within.

”What... exactly is this place!”

This was the answer they most wanted to know now.

But clearly, it was not the time to ask, as these people seemed to be rushing, stepping forward, increasing their pace, heading up the stairs more quickly.

The stairs were not very long, only several hundred steps. For cultivators at their Spirit Pill realm, it was only a matter of seconds, and upon stepping up, the scene before them suddenly opened wide.

This was an open main hall, with no other anomalies present, only four giant pillars standing at each cardinal point, supporting the many meters long, tens of thousands of kilograms heavy dome.

And directly in front of them, atop nine steps, there was a dragon throne, and on the throne sat a figure completely shrouded in a black robe, one elbow resting on the chair, head slightly lowered, with the head resting on the fist formed by the hand, making it difficult for Chen Jie and Sun Tianming to see the face hidden inside the black robe.

”Put him down.”

Arriving at the center of the hall, the man ordered the burly man carrying Lin Chen, who then threw Lin Chen to the ground.

Sun Tianming swiftly caught him, preventing Lin Chen’s body from crashing onto the hard ground.

At this moment, several people moved a few steps closer towards the figure seated on the throne led by that man, standing below.

Seeing this, Sun Tianming finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally given a chance to catch their breath.

After briefly checking Lin Chen’s injuries, Sun Tianming searched his Storage Ring for a pill and poured it into Lin Chen’s mouth.

The current situation was even more perilous than before, but clearly Sun Tianming couldn’t worry about much. Looking at Lin Chen’s injuries, he couldn’t help but feel pained.

From when Lin Chen joined until now, it was the first time Sun Tianming saw Lin Chen suffer such serious injuries, being beaten without any ability to counter.
