Chapter 2174: Chapter 2174: Knocked Out by Someone

This place, not having killed all those people from the Ziyan Kingdom, is already quite fortunate.

She raised her hand, pressing on two mechanism triggers simultaneously and turning them.

Only to hear a ’booming’ sound coming from below the ground, it seemed that many of the mechanisms ahead had been already shut down.

She walked forward relieved.

...

After a while, the passage in the Northern Underground Palace became darker and darker.

Just like what Yin Baiqing had told her before, no light should be present in the Northern Underground Palace, not even torches could be lit.

She heard the voices of two people talking in the dark.

"Did you hear that the Eastern Underground Palace exploded?"

"Indeed, I heard everything inside the Eastern Underground Palace was destroyed, nothing left."

"Really? Isn’t the emperor going to come over again?"

Listening to this, Lin Caisang sensed a hint of nervousness and fear.

These people must be the ones maintaining the Holy Son Flower in the underground of the Northern Underground Palace, right? She could understand their fear of the emperor.

"This time, I wonder who would be the unluckiest? Who will be thrown into the Holy Son Flower as fertilizer."

"Anyway, these days, whenever we hear noises, we should stay farther away from the Holy Son Flower. Thinking of those who became fertilizers makes me want to die; I really don’t want to stay here."

"Who wants to stay here, right?"

Another person spoke.

Who would want to come to this damned place? Every year, we watch our own comrades being thrown alive into the furnace by the emperor, turned into minced meat, and then thrown into the fields of the Holy Son Flower as fertilizer.

"Stop talking, we are already here, and even if we want to leave, we can’t. We can only take one day at a time."

"Let’s go, we have a lot of work to do."

As they were preparing to leave, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them.

"Scared!"

The two had been working in the darkness for a long time and had developed eyes that could see in the dark.

Startled by the sudden appearance of someone, they were frightened.

"Where are you planning to go?" Lin Caisang asked indifferently, looking at them.

"Who... who are you?"

The two were only gardeners taking care of the Holy Son Orchid, possessing no spiritual power.

They were extremely fearful upon seeing a stranger, nervously asking.

Lin Caisang didn’t waste words, raised her hand and knocked one of them unconscious.

"You—"

The other person saw his comrade fall down, panicked, and immediately tried to run.

But would Lin Caisang give him a chance?

Whipping out the Wind Spirit Whip, she directly wrapped it around his waist and pulled him towards her.

"What... what do you want, I don’t know anything, I know nothing," the man shouted as he was pulled back.

"Shut up!"

Lin Caisang raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

Did she not know?

This guy shouted so loudly, clearly hoping that the people below the Northern Underground Palace could hear him and come to save his life.

But how could she give them such an opportunity?

"Now even if you shout your lungs out, no one will hear you; still thinking someone will come to save you?"

"You... you..."

Hearing her words, the man didn’t dare to speak any more.

This was the Northern Underground Palace. Like them, gardeners trying to escape every year, but who really managed to escape? All were killed by the mechanisms.
