114 The Second Level Of The Underground World

“The ancient past was destroyed in a world-ending flood. The flood unveiled the path to a new era. After that, the rules of heroes and Lords were born,” said Shi Linglong.

Everyone looked at each other. Everybody had many doubts about the world-ending flood.

The empire in the ancient past, which had the capability of marching to the stars and the sea, was destroyed by a mere flood.

It was very strange. They wondered why the empire couldn’t build a safe place for themselves, possibly in the sky.

Floating buildings were visible in the ruins. Some buildings floated around with the help of the runes.

With the empire’s magical and technological advancement, they should have had no problem with the flood.

“Perhaps, the world-ending flood was just a cover-up,” Su Wan said calmly.

It became known from the skeleton that the upper realm had something to do with the end of the empire. The real culprit must have been someone powerful from the upper realm.

The Great Flood was perhaps just a cover-up for whatever had happened to destroy the empire.

“But what do these ancient secrets have to do with us?”

Su Wan believed that their purpose was only to accumulate resources and then deal with the Inter-Campus Tournament. As for the destruction of the ancient empire, it had little to do with them. They didn’t need to know all this!

Shi Linglong was a little anxious. “Wanwan, these things are related to us!”

Shi Linglong told Su Wan about her discovery. “The members of the Dark Screen are trying in vain to wake the ancient emperor of the empire. They are trying to do that so that everyone focuses on this instead of whatever they plan to do.”

Shi Linglong knew that she couldn’t stop the Dark Screen from using the Inter-Campus Tournament for their own interest. She was more than happy if she could destroy at least one of their plans.

“According to the people of that organization, they have set up a Magic Device in a central location underground. They’re using ancient runes and magical technology to pull the entire empire from underground to the surface. We need to destroy their plan!”

How many secrets did the ancient empire hold? No one truly knew.

However, Shi Linglong knew that once this ancient empire emerged on the surface. Numerous people would go crazy to covet it.

At that time, the Dark Screen would implement their plan.

Su Wan looked at Shi Linglong. “Linglong, why are you so concerned about this matter?”

Shi Linglong’s little face puffed up in anger. “Why do they have to keep hunting me down?”

She had been chased by the members of the organization and had barely escaped. She had seen the members of Dark Screen and heard all about their plans. She wanted revenge!

Su Wan looked at Xu Yuan in her arms, and then at the White Dragon Saint.

In the past, she was weak and afraid. But with the White Dragon Saint by her side, Su Wan didn’t have anything to worry about.

So, Su Wan followed Shi Linglong’s lead with Xu Yuan in her arms.

As they walked deeper, they noticed that the ruins were more intact in this area.

“This is the entrance that leads to the next floor,” said Shi Linglong.

Until now, only three levels of the ruins had been explored. The first level, which was where they were now, was filled with dilapidated buildings. There were also very few ancient dead souls wandering around here.

The next level was closer to the center of the capital of the empire. The buildings were a little bit well-preserved in this area. The ancient souls wandering this place were stronger.

Shi Linglong wanted to take everyone to the second level. She seemed happy to proceed to the second level.

“This girl is like a treasure-seeking mouse,” muttered Xu Yuan. “She always appears when there are benefits.”

On the surface, Shi Linglong looked to be in a sorry state from being chased by evil creatures. However, it was because of the evil Dark Screen that she discovered the path to the second level.

Su Wan agreed with Xu Yuan. Shi Linglong always seemed to appear in places where she could reap benefits.

“If we keep following her lead, maybe we will stumble upon something really beneficial,” said Su Wan. She was a little stunned at her realization.

Shi Linglong indeed had a special ability to attract trouble. But this troublesome lifestyle also led her to places with the most benefits. However, Shi Linglong wasn’t strong enough to fight against the enemies when she encountered them.

They would work together to create a plan!

Everyone followed Shi Linglong and arrived at a pitch-black cave.

“This is the passage to the second level. It’s dangerous in there. I heard from the members of the Dark Screen that they paid a terrible price when they explored this level,” warned Shi Linglong.

However, they didn’t have time to decide because, at this moment, they noticed a magical device that the Dark Screen had placed there. The runes on the magical device flickered. It transmitted an unknown energy to the earth.

The earth shook. It seemed that this thing was the reason for the appearance of the Sunken City!

“Little girl, you came back to die?” The members of the Dark Screen laughed at Shi Linglong.

They had chased Shi Linglong but hadn’t expected her to be able to escape from them. If she had run away, they could have done nothing to her. However, Shi Linglong had returned. They found this to be an act of stupidity.

“Those who eavesdrop on our organization’s secrets must die!”

The Dark Screen was made up of numerous native creatures of the Overlord Plane.

Some of them had the head of a lion and the body of a human. Some had the horns of a cow and the claws of an eagle. Yet others had the wings of a bird and the hooves of a horse.

Shi Linglong was so scared that she ran and hid behind Su Wan. She knew how powerful the White Dragon Saint was.

Although she didn’t know why the White Dragon Saint stayed with Su Wan, she knew that these creatures were nothing in front of him.

The White Dragon Saint had shrunken down to a smaller size, so no one recognized him.

The lion-headed creature sneered at Su Wan.

“Your reinforcements aren’t of any use,” it said. “Today, you will bear the consequences of offending us.”

The lion-headed creature glared at Su Wan and the others with her.

They thought Su Wan and the bundle in her arms weren’t a threat. It seemed to them that only the White Dragon Saint could fight among them.

The lion-headed creature wanted to get rid of the White Dragon Saint first and then deal with the other weaklings. It wanted to drive the others to fear and despair.

The lion-headed creature swung its ax at the White Dragon Saint.
