Chapter 1880: Chapter 1880: The Blood Clan’s Tunneling Techniques

In Zhang Wei’s view, this protective shield could cause a Treasure-Level Late Stage magical treasure to instantly collapse. It’s hard to imagine even a Treasure-Level Peak magical treasure piercing it.

Yet, when Ye Haochuan’s sword appeared, it effortlessly pierced the barrier, a truly baffling sight.

”Could it be that the sword has surpassed the Treasure-Level?” Zhang Wei’s mind was struck by this astonishing thought.

Surpassing the Treasure-Level, that would be the legendary Immortal Level!

To his knowledge, even beings like Yang Sen and Ye Hao had never used an Immortal Artifact!

What kind of existence is this Young Master Ye, able to wield an Immortal Artifact with a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivation?

No wonder he stood out in the grand battle against the Evil Sect. Such luck is simply defying the heavens!

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Wei’s mind, culminating in his growing admiration for Ye Haochuan, perhaps even feeling a desire to pledge allegiance to him.

Pledging allegiance is distinctly different from joining the Long Alliance.

In the Long Alliance, he and Ye Haochuan would have a subordinate and superior relationship. But pledging allegiance to Ye Haochuan would be to become his vassal, a master-servant relationship.

If Ye Haochuan knew his charm had reached such an extent, would he laugh out loud?

However, Zhang Wei does not know that the Divine Concealment Sword is not an Immortal Artifact, but is merely exceptionally sharp due to the Blood Pattern Refining Method.

But Ye Haochuan indeed has an Immortal Artifact, which is the Communicating with God Treasure Order, always his guarantee of combat power.

This magical treasure not only provides him with the Heaven-Penetrating Barrier, a heaven-defying defensive technique, but also doubles the power of his skills.

Because of this, Ye Haochuan can consistently battle against higher levels.

Rumble~

The barrier below shattered, and the ground, lacking support, began to slowly collapse.

”Everyone, be careful!” Ye Haochuan warned, summoning a protective shield over himself and Sophia.

The other cultivators quickly followed suit, swiftly deploying defensive measures. Only Allen, due to the Blood Clan’s unique spiritual energy, couldn’t summon a protective shield and was hit by several falling rocks.

However, the Blood Clan’s bodies are exceptionally tough, and a few falling rocks did him no harm. He quickly dusted himself off and stood up.

The group landed underground, discovering that this place, like the level above, is a palace. However, it is much smaller compared to the one above.

Yet, this underground palace showed no trace of the Blood Clan, to everyone’s surprise.

”Look, there’s a hidden passage here!” Sophia suddenly pointed in a direction.

Everyone looked in that direction and indeed found a tunnel built of blue stones.

”Could this be an alternative exit?” Zhang Wei speculated.

Though discovering this tunnel, his face showed no joy.

If it was the hideout of the Blood Clan, it would be worth celebrating, but finding just an exit meant nothing.

The Blood Clan escaping from here or from the entrance they came through is essentially the same; they still have no idea where the Blood Clan went.

”This is not an exit; I believe it’s an entrance!” Ye Haochuan laughed.

”An entrance? What’s the difference between an entrance and an exit? Coming in from the outside makes this an entrance; exiting makes it an exit. It’s just a passage either way!” Sophia wondered why Ye Haochuan would say something so odd.

Ye Haochuan smiled wryly and explained, ”I didn’t mean it’s the entrance from the outside, but rather, this is the entrance to another place!”

”Another place? Where could it be?”

”I believe it’s the Blood Clan’s gathering place!” Ye Haochuan smiled meaningfully.

He had looked down the tunnel and found that it descended, clearly not leading back to the surface.

Such a structure reminded Ye Haochuan of the underground labyrinth of the Dark Church.

The first time he encountered the Dark Church was when Yue Deng led him into the mysterious passage beneath the skyscraper.

At that time, he witnessed the Dark Church’s superb tunneling skills, having practically built another world underground.

The Blood Clan, being a branch of the Dark Church, and preferring dark and damp places, presumably wouldn’t abandon such a ”fine tradition.”

Since such a large underground palace was constructed, why not put in a little more effort to connect all the palaces, allowing for easy escape at any time?

”No wonder...” Allen suddenly mused, ”No wonder Duke Abel forbade us from getting close, not wanting us to discover this underground world!”

”You’re saying even you didn’t know about such a building?” Ye Haochuan asked, suddenly curious.

However, he immediately realized the silliness of his question. If Allen knew, why would he let Ye Haochuan speculate?

Now that Allen was on their side, there was no reason for him to hide anything.

Fortunately, Allen didn’t mind Ye Haochuan’s words and replied, ”I’ve been with Duke Abel for a century, and he never told me about such a place. I think only the Duke knows about this passage!”

”Only the Duke knows?” Ye Haochuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled, ”If that’s true, do you think there might be some mysterious treasure hidden here?”

Though his words seemed playful, upon closer thought, the possibility was significant.

If there weren’t something valuable down there, why hide it even from trusted aides?

”What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Zhang Wei, unable to hold back his eagerness, said.

He had long heard that accompanying Ye Haochuan often led to great achievements. Like during the rescue of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, they not only succeeded but also killed nearly ten thousand of the Evil Sect’s forces.

And later, the five thousand elites Ye Haochuan led to construct the Genius Seven Kills Formation attacked and killed over three thousand of the Evil Sect’s elites, forcing the Evil Sect Master to flee in panic.

Though he was powerful, he lacked significant accomplishments. So upon hearing of another potential great gain, how could he stay calm?

”The Blood Clan’s numbers may not match Xuanmen, but each Duke has hundreds or thousands under them. Our current numbers aren’t sufficient,” Allen worried.

They were just over ten people, and attacking rashly would be too risky.

”Don’t worry, I’ve already ordered a large force to converge. They’ll be here shortly. When it comes to numbers, Xuanmen isn’t afraid of a small Blood Clan!” Zhang Wei confidently replied.

The Evil Sect had just been decimated, with many follow-up issues needing resolution, so Xuanmen had around ten thousand stationed there. Zhang Wei could easily rally a few thousand, forming a formidable force.
