Chapter 1663 - Underground World
These three people had also been hired by Shen Xingchen, just like Jiang Chen.
“Currently, people of the Endless Continent can be divided into two groups: one group worships Jiang Chen; the other one decries him.”
Wen Qing had witnessed the previous conversation and made this comment to Meng Shan, who was walking next to him. Jiang Chen happened to hear what Wen Qing had said.
“The young man who worships Jiang Chen is named Yang Zong. The other couple are Fang Shen and Deng Xin.” Meng Shan introduced his teammates to Jiang Chen.
Yang Zong’s remark had been overheard by the arrogant couple. Fang Shen had been about to argue with him when he was stopped by his female companion.
“Why would you waste your energy on people like him who don’t have the ability to think independently,” Deng Xin said scornfully.
Yang Zong uttered a snort instead to show his displeasure.
Fang Shen was going to argue some more, yet he was pulled back by Deng Xin again.
“Another brainless person who glorifies and lionizes Jiang Chen,” Deng Xin mocked Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled casually and didn’t speak any further with them.
Disparaging other people and twisting their words to suit one’s own agenda indicated guilt and insecurity.
“Buddy, well spoken.” Yang Zong gave Jiang Chen a thumbs-up from the front of the team.
Jiang Chen smiled back and remained silent.
“Somehow, I actually tend to believe that you’re really 30 years old.”
Suddenly, Shen Xingchen passed her voice to him in silent communication.
“Oh? Why?” Jiang Chen maintained his composure and communicated with her via holy awareness as well.
“What you just said could only have been spoken by someone who has some life experience.”
Listening to him speak, Shen Xingchen started to feel intrigued by Jiang Chen for the first time.
They had already gone down deep inside of the mine while they had been talking.
Now they could feel a steady flow of heat waves coming from in front of them.
“Based on the direction we’ve been traveling in, we have walked back to Wind Cloud City, underneath the ground.”
“You’re right. We’re underneath the city.”
However, their thoughts got shaky when they realized what they were seeing after walking through this passage.
If they were underneath the city, then all the ground underneath the whole city must have been hollowed out.
It looked like an entirely different underground world except that there was no sky.
They were under the mountain, yet could see undulating hills far away and a lot of wide open ground.
“It’s so hot.”
The most distinct feature of this underground world was its blazing heat. The temperature was much higher than what a normal person could tolerate.
“Is it necessary for you to go through all this trouble to make it so intricate?” Jiang Chen couldn’t help asking Fire Kylin in the ring.
“It’s apparent that two pieces of land have overlapped and formed an underground. My fire was only placed in the depths of some mountains initially.” Fire Kylin stated that it hadn’t been him who had spent so much effort to design this place.
The inside of the mine had just happened to be on the border between two continents.
It had not been easy for Shen Xingchen to find it.
“Let’s fly there.”
The landscape here was no longer accessible for walking.
The team took off, flying to the mountains in the distance.
All of a sudden, a piercing and forceful sound could be heard. A sword ray that was familiar to Jiang Chen flashed.
The radiance of the sword, extremely bright with an exceedingly wide attack range, covered the whole team.
“It’s a Venerable Sovereign!”
Everyone in the team became ashen-faced. They didn’t understand why a Venerable Sovereign would attack them.
“Jiang Chen! Prepare to die!”
