While Chu Xisheng was observing these red snakes, the black-clad woman was restless and anxious, with a hint of sha and inferiority in her eyes.
She imdiately waved her hand, causing the red snakes to burrow back into the ground, preventing Chu Xisheng from taking a closer look.
"I am the Ji Yang you speak of."
The black-clad woman looked at Chu Xisheng with an embarrassed and annoyed expression: "I an no harm, I need your help. Also, stop looking!"
Chu Xisheng finally withdrew his gaze and t Ji Yang’s eyes: "So it was you who summoned with bloodline power earlier?"
At this mont, he felt a great sense of calm.
Since the other party’s purpose was to seek help, their lives should be temporarily out of danger.
However, Chu Xisheng still didn’t release his grip on the sword.
Who knows what kind of help Ji Yang was referring to? What if it required his life to fulfill?
Just then, Chu Yunyun also arrived behind the black-clad woman: "If you truly have no hostility, you should retract your corpse poison."
"I cannot control it, otherwise my father wouldn’t have sealed here."
Ji Yang then turned her head, looking at the flag spear in Chu Yunyun’s hand, her eyes showing a strange light: "I recognize it, it’s the Rebellious God Flag. You are also mighty, reminding of my long-lost friend Shang Fuhao, both of you having powerful bloodlines and exceptional talents.
You are strong, at your full strength, you could even rival the Eternal Gods. However, like , you are also plagued by the poison curse. But your power, your Rebellious God Flag, can also help ."
Poison curse?
Chu Xisheng thought to himself that he seed fated with poison curses.
He curiously asked: "Are you seeking my help to resolve the poison curse?"
"No! My corpse poison originates from the initial Heavenly Gaze; it cannot be resolved by you."
Ji Yang shook her head, and with a wave of her hand, caused the earth and stones to part, revealing a narrow passageway: "Let us go down and talk. In this place, my corpse poison risks leaking. Let us converse in my chamber; it will be better for both of us."
Ji Yang’s tomb is rely how outsiders refer to it.
This is actually the chamber her father crafted for her.
Chu Xisheng peered into the depths of the passageway, only to see it shrouded in darkness, its depth imasurable.
He furrowed his brows, wondering if they could return after descending?
If Ji Yang harbored ulterior motives, they would be walking into a trap.
However, his ’Divine Intent Blade Heart’ had not detected any malice or evil intent from the other party since earlier.
"Rest assured, both of you."
Ji Yang seemingly saw through Chu Xisheng’s thoughts, speaking sincerely: "If I were to have any nefarious designs against you two, I would surely et my end under this young friend’s Rebellious God Banner. Moreover, I also have a gift for you, ensuring you won’t leave empty-handed."
Chu Yunyun’s gaze slightly narrowed.
She noticed Ji Yang’s vow caused the surrounding void to tremble, with traces of Heavenly Rules resonating and connecting with her held Rebellious God Banner Spear.
"Retribution?" Chu Yunyun whispered, then looked downward at the passageway.
After a brief contemplation, she took the lead into the depths of the cave: "Then let’s go."
Chu Xisheng followed closely behind.
His instinct for the power of vengeance was even greater than Chu Yunyun’s.
This granddaughter of the Xuanhuang Primordial Emperor did appear quite sincere.
※※※※
The passage Ji Yang opened was over fifty miles long.
Chu Yunyun and Chu Xisheng, one after the other, took a full twenty breaths to reach Ji Yang’s chamber.
It truly was a grand underground palace, not a mausoleum.
The palace spanned over four hundred miles, larger than the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace.
It had all the magnificence: jade buildings, palatial gardens, nurous pavilions, rock gardens, and pools, with scenery as beautiful as land. There were even blue skies, white clouds, and moon and star glories, mirroring the scenes above ground.
Yet, the architecture retained a hint of ancient and primitive style from hundreds of thousands of years ago, with structures robust and unadorned, lacking in fine craftsmanship.
Oddly, as they walked through the passage, the deeper they went, the thicker the corpse poison beca, to the point that even Chu Xisheng’s Vengeful Blade Intent struggled to endure, requiring Chu Yunyun’s support to barely sustain.
Upon reaching the palace, Chu Xisheng felt entirely relieved, and sensed no corpse poison around him.
Ji Yang maintained her Primordial Spirit status all the way into the largest hall of the palace before stopping.
Before entering, Chu Xisheng paid special attention to the plaque hanging before the hall doors.
It read "Zhe Dragon Hall."
The powerful calligraphy seed to encapsulate endless dao anings, like a dragon’s lively dance.
Even more astonishing was the inscription at the bottom—Ji Xuanyuan.
Chu Xisheng was thoroughly shaken, taking a long ti to compose himself before stepping inside.
Looking up, he found the interior vacant, with nothing inside.
"There used to be so tables and chairs here, but since no one has visited since 270,000 years ago, I dismantled them to make other things."
As Ji Yang spoke, she flicked her hand, and countless earth and stones converged, forming two stone chairs in the hall: "Please, have a seat. The conditions here are simple, and I don’t even have a pot of tea, sorry for the lack of hospitality."
Chu Xisheng glanced around.
He marveled secretly, thinking that this Drought and daughter of Long Kui had stayed alone in this underground place for hundreds of thousands of years, showcasing truly strong willpower.
