Despite this, Zhang Bin was surprised to find that Master Xueyin didn’t seem as fierce as before. Her voice even contained a touch of gentleness!
How could this be possible? Could it be that she was moved by the love between Zhang Xue and ?
However, Zhang Bin didn’t dwell on it and said with a wicked smile, "Hehe... My plan is for the dayti, not tonight. Have your spiritual powers recovered?"
"They have. We can move now."
Bathing in Zhang Bin’s lecherous gaze, Master Xueyin felt her face flush inexplicably.
Zhang Xue and Zhang Bin imdiately got up, and the three of them went to the lakeside to freshen up. They even took out so food from their Space Rings for a al before returning to their tent. Then, like ghostly spirits, the three of them vanished.
Of course, they had slipped underground.
Zhang Bin held Zhang Xue’s left hand, following behind Master Xueyin. Originally, Zhang Xue didn’t have the ability to use Earth Escape, as she had only reached the Great Perfection of the Liquid State. However, coming from Shushan, she possessed many magical talismans. By applying an Earth Escape Talisman to herself, she could traverse the earth. Naturally, she had also affixed an Invisibility Talisman to avoid being seen.
Master Xueyin and Zhang Bin, of course, needed no such talismans, as they both possessed the abilities of Earth Escape and Invisibility.
Master Xueyin, familiar with the route, led the two of them downward, and they quickly entered a tunnel. It was constructed from bricks and cent, with lights installed along the walls, illuminating the passage brightly.
Within this tunnel were nurous bunkers, each staffed with powerful guards who had all basically cultivated to the Liquid State. From ti to ti, a Divine Sense would sweep over, scanning every corner. Such a powerful Divine Sense could only belong to a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator. If it weren’t for Master Xueyin using her Spatial Secret Technique, Zhang Bin and Zhang Xue would have been discovered the mont they entered. This just went to show how tight the security was.
Why has the Black Bell Organization built so many tunnels here? If they wanted to set up a Great Array to deal with powerful enemies, they could have just done it on the surface. Why go through the trouble of such a massive underground project? A deep confusion surfaced on Zhang Bin’s face.
"The number of guards is much lower during the day. We have a chance to go deeper. Let’s move," a faint hint of delight appeared on Master Xueyin’s face as she whispered. She then grabbed Zhang Bin’s hand and led them forward at a brisk pace.
With the cover of her Spatial Secret Technique and the fact that they were all invisible, the guards in the bunkers remained completely oblivious. Zhang Bin even had the leisure to toy with Master Xueyin’s jade-like hand, audaciously teasing her. Her hand felt so good; holding it sent a jolt like an electric shock through him.
Perhaps because they were in a dangerous environnt, Master Xueyin didn’t react at all, allowing Zhang Bin to play with her hand as he pleased.
Soon, two large steel gates appeared ahead, blocking their path. It was precisely because of such doors that their Divine Senses couldn’t penetrate to see what lay beyond. Otherwise, with Master Xueyin’s terrifying Divine Sense, a single sweep could have clarified everything for hundreds of kiloters. There would have been no need for such a deep investigation.
However, the gates couldn’t stop the three of them. They used their ability to pass through walls, entering the masonry, bypassing the doors, and continuing down the tunnel. The passage was incredibly wide, at least comparable to a major highway. Bunkers were built into both sides of the passage, each with two guards.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Suddenly, a sound like muffled thunder rumbled from the distance, as if so great machine was operating.
"We heard a sound like this before, but we didn’t dare go deeper because there are formidable masters guarding ahead," Master Xueyin said solemnly.
"Formidable masters? Stronger than you?" Zhang Bin asked in surprise.
"They are undoubtedly Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivators. However, I am confident I can defeat them," Master Xueyin declared.
"We’re all here this ti, so don’t worry. Let’s keep moving and see what we can find," Zhang Bin said. "If worst cos to worst, we’ll just fight."
"That’s unacceptable. Any recklessness could lead to irrevocable regret," Zhang Xue interjected. "The mont we feel we can’t proceed with stealth, we retreat and find another opportunity. We have ti."
"The young lady’s idea is a good one, much more prudent than yours, Zhang Bin," Master Xueyin said admiringly, then added a warning. "Zhang Bin, if you go about the world so recklessly, you won’t live long. If you were a character in a novel, with such recklessness and carelessness, you probably wouldn’t survive three Chapters."
His nose twitching with indignation, Zhang Bin retorted, "My skill gives courage. Besides, I have plenty of trump cards. Dealing with the re Black Bell will be a piece of cake."
"You’re too complacent. The fact that Black Bell has existed for so long is a testant to how powerful and terrifying they are. This could be their main stronghold, equipped not only with terrifying ancient technology but also guarded by incredibly powerful masters. If there really is a master at the Fusion Stage, no amount of trump cards will help you. So from now on, you’d better be more careful. Do you understand?" Master Xueyin pulled Zhang Bin in front of her, looked him square in the eye, and spoke sternly.
"Hehe... You seem quite nervous. You care about that much, worried I might die? Could it be you’ve fallen for ?" Zhang Bin teased.
"You..." Master Xueyin was infuriated, her face hardening. "Who would ever like a scoundrel like you? Only a foolish woman like Zhang Xue would."
"Hey, don’t drag into your argunt! I didn’t do anything to either of you," Zhang Xue said with a coquettish blush.
They continued forward, carefully circumventing at least ten more bunkers. Master Xueyin finally stopped, her expression growing serious. "Ahead is a spacious cavern. There’s a Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator guarding it. Even though he hasn’t released his Divine Sense, I can feel his presence."
"Then we should retreat. Perhaps we can investigate from another direction," Zhang Xue said, her expression wary.
Tutu, what have you found? Zhang Bin asked in his mind.
"I’ve mostly figured it out," Tutu replied seriously in his thoughts. "We’re not far from the surface here, only about twenty ters down. There are many terrifying technological weapons deployed. They appear to be a type of Ion Gun capable of firing devastating ion projectiles that can vaporize a person instantly. The situation in the cavern ahead is as follows..."
Tutu displayed the layout of the cavern on the virtual screen in Zhang Bin’s mind. Tutu could not only communicate with the distant Xuanwu Star but also possessed short-range detection capabilities. This wasn’t the Ancient Base; the walls were made of brick, which naturally couldn’t block Tutu’s scan.
So, by bringing Tutu this deep into the enemy’s territory, Zhang Bin was able to get a clear picture of the entire situation.
