Chapter 397: Chapter 273: Underground Palace_3

Li Qingyan did not halt her movements; with a slight lift of her jade hand, two fiery sword shadows shot forth, pinning the bisected figure to the ground, and in a soft voice, she pointed to the two lumps and said:

"Prince Consort, take a look."

"...."

The glow from the fiery red flames allowed Xu Yuan to see the attacking entity clearly.

It indeed had the shape of a person; he could even vaguely make out the blurred features on its face.

Split vertically into two by Li Qingyan’s blade, but eerily, no blood or similar substance flowed out from the bisected parts. Instead, countless tiny tendrils of flesh...

were spreading out from the severed connections, scuffling to reconnect the separated halves of its body.

Xu Yuan’s scalp tingled, and he involuntarily stood up.

He turned and looked at Li Qingyan, his mouth twitching.

How unlucky can this woman get? It’s not like she dragged him into this, right?

In the deadly silent Underground Palace, a level ninety outdoor dungeon.

"..."

Seeing Xu Yuan’s reaction, Li Qingyan slightly furrowed her brows and asked softly:

"Prince Consort, do you know what this strange thing is?"

Xu Yuan’s mind raced, and he licked his lips: "Hmm."

Li Qingyan smiled upon hearing this,

stood up,

raised her hand,

and the two fiery swords stuck in the creature immediately flared up with dazzling red light!

Intense flames rose, and the creature that had been trying to connect its body was instantly devoured by fire.

In the ashes left by the flames,

Li Qingyan, wearing her boots, walked up close to Xu Yuan, curved her eyes, and said softly with a smile:

"Since that’s the case, Prince Consort, can you tell this Princess what that peculiar thing was?"

"I know."

Xu Yuan uttered two words, staring into Li Qingyan’s eyes, and said with utmost gravity:

"Li Qingyan, the Class A internal reports of our Prime Minister’s Mansion have recorded information about this Underground Palace. If you want to survive, do not doubt any word I say."

"..."

Li Qingyan’s crimson pupils narrowed for a moment, she fell silent briefly, nodded slightly, and said solemnly:

"Hmm... Since the Prince Consort has said so, this Princess naturally won’t doubt."

With that promise, Xu Yuan felt a little relief in his heart.

Truth be told, he was really afraid that this opinionated Wrapped Chest Princess would still be headstrong in such a place.

Li Qingyan held the handle of her blade and asked softly:

"Looking at your expression, Prince Consort, this thing must be quite troublesome, right?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan pointed to the scorched ground and said:

"This is a specter, a creature with strong vitality and highly infectious. The thing just now must have been a cultivator before it was infected."

He paused,

then pointed toward the mycelial mat that could shield and devour one’s will-spirit:

"Those should be the Black Death Mycelial Mat of the specters, providing them with Origin Qi and flesh needed for regeneration."

Li Qingyan listened intently and then asked the question she cared about most:

"Prince Consort, does the information from your Prime Minister’s Mansion say there are specters stronger than me in this Underground Palace?"

"There are."

Xu Yuan’s answer was decisive: "And they are much stronger than you are now. The strongest specter is among the best even in the First Grade Mortal Transcendence."

There was a moment of silence.

Li Qingyan’s hand gripping the hilt tensed slightly.

Xu Yuan, however, chuckled lightly and said:

"You don’t need to worry too much. As long as we don’t make too much noise, that thing won’t wake up...."

Before his voice had faded,

"Boom!!!!!"

A ground-shaking tremor came from deep within the Underground Palace, making it difficult to stand.

Without a word,

Xu Yuan licked his lips, looked at Li Qingyan with a complicated gaze, and with a wry smile, said:

"Hmm... It seems the Barbarian King has been teleported here as well."
