Jiang Feng had a look of disdain.
"Alright."
Han Dong smiled slightly; she never expected that the little prison guard who once was under her nose could now influence the world, forcing figures like Xiao Zhan to be as silent as a frosty cicada.
The next day.
Han Dong ca to the academy with a wooden box to find Jiang Feng.
"Xiao Zhan asked to pass this to you. He’s desperate to et you and begged to help him."
Han Dong said with a smile.
"There’s no need to bother with him, let him wait for a few days."
Jiang Feng took the wooden box and opened it in front of Han Dong.
Inside the wooden box was a golden key, with a note next to it bearing the words "Underground Palace Key."
Jiang Feng was greatly surprised.
He picked up the golden key and examined it closely, but found nothing peculiar, only vaguely sensing that it contained so power.
"Everyone wants to enter the underground palace, but how did he get this key?"
Han Dong asked in confusion.
"Should I summon him now?"
Jiang Feng had always been curious about the Dragon Capital Underground Palace. What exactly was inside that made so many people interested and was protected by layers of restriction arrays?
There was even a Three-tailed Wolf King guarding it.
"Let him wait; if he gets impatient, he’ll definitely bring you more things later."
Han Dong thought for a mont and said.
"Okay."
Jiang Feng found it reasonable.
In the days that followed, Xiao Zhan would co to find Han Dong every day, but Han Dong’s response was simple: Jiang Feng wasn’t interested in what Xiao Zhan sent, not even knowing if the wooden box had been opened.
Xiao Zhan was anxious.
He promised various benefits.
He even tried to get Han Tieshan, who once disdained him, to speak to Han Dong on his behalf, but Han Tieshan refused him outright.
Even spat in his face.
Han Tieshan couldn’t stop Xiao Zhan from rebelling.
Yet he deeply despised Xiao Zhan’s treachery. Even if the Li Family had wronged him, he didn’t support Xiao Zhan taking control of the Great Tang, though he couldn’t stop it.
Xiao Zhan faced a closed door.
Out of respect for Jiang Feng, he couldn’t act out.
On the fifth day, he brought another item to Han Dong.
Another wooden box.
Jiang Feng opened it and saw an ancient black ring inside, with a note beside it with the words "Storage Ring."
Jiang Feng was shocked once again.
How could Xiao Zhan, a re martial cultivator, co by an underground palace key and a storage ring?
Even the likes of Elder Wang from the Divine Sect didn’t have such a thing as a storage ring.
Jiang Feng had only recently learned from reading ancient cultivation books at the academy that cultivators had treasures like storage rings and storage bags.
These could hold all kinds of items.
The higher the level, the larger the space, and the stronger the defense.
"Could Xiao Zhan have had so strange encounter sowhere?"
Jiang Feng frowned.
He carefully examined the black storage ring, finding its space to be seven or eight cubic ters, capable of holding various items.
It took him a mont to refine the black storage ring and wear it on his hand.
"Let him co to see !"
Jiang Feng wanted to know where Xiao Zhan got the underground palace key and storage ring, especially how to use the underground palace key.
He tried using the golden key to enter the underground palace the night he got it, but the underground palace showed no signs of movent, and the restriction arrays didn’t seem to weaken; he simply couldn’t get in.
It seed the key needed to be placed in a specific location to work.
After a while.
Xiao Zhan entered the academy and t Jiang Feng on the top floor.
"Xiao Zhan pays respects to the Immortal Master."
Seeing Jiang Feng, Xiao Zhan assud a humble posture, imdiately kneeling and bowing.
"Please stand up, King Xiao. I, Jiang Feng, am just a little prison guard, unworthy of such respect."
Jiang Feng said lightly.
"No, the world belongs to you. I, Mr. Xiao, am representing the common people and civil and military officials in bowing to you."
Xiao Zhan said obsequiously, his head to the ground, not daring to lift it to look at Jiang Feng.
Although he had long known of Jiang Feng’s true identity, hearing Jiang Feng admit it himself still shocked Xiao Zhan slightly.
Thinking about how his son had once targeted Jiang Feng and how poorly he himself had treated him, Xiao Zhan felt quite uneasy.
"Silence, don’t think you can use the world to threaten . What the Great Tang becos in the future and who becos its master has nothing to do with ."
Jiang Feng said angrily.
He understood that Xiao Zhan urgently wanted to see him, hoping he would support the Xiao Family in securing imperial authority and preventing it from being taken by loose cultivators or other forces.
"I dare not, please, Immortal Master, calm your anger. I just believe that all the treasures within the underground palace should belong to you alone. I only hope to help you guard the underground palace and prevent lesser people from hindering your cultivation."
Xiao Zhan hastily explained.
"How ridiculous. You’ve followed Li Yang for years and couldn’t help him obtain the underground palace treasures. How can I now trust you to help get everything inside?"
Jiang Feng sneered.
"The entrance to the underground palace is under the Zhenbei Prison. You can take the golden key over there and insert it into the mouth of the Three-tailed Wolf King statue, and a door will open for you."
Xiao Zhan said unhurriedly.
Jiang Feng was unprepared for this, never expecting the entrance to be under the Zhenbei Prison, but upon reflection, it seed reasonable.
The underground palace had been discovered in recent years, starting with the Zhenbei Prison.
The Cyan Snake King had created the Demon Sect, placing the Old Demon Child under the prison, perhaps knowing the entrance was there but not how to get inside.
Or perhaps he knew where to place the key but never managed to obtain the golden key.
