The second-generation successor!
Wang Chong's eyes widened as he lost his composure. The corpse that had been thrown out of the passage was prostrate so that he couldn't see its face, but Wang Chong still recognized the robes of the Western Han Dynasty.
Clang!
There was a cold flash of light as a sword was tossed out of the passage and fell to the ground. The sight of it made Wang Chong's heart sink even more.
It was the second-generation successor's sword!
Wang Chong had been extremely close to this sword when traversing the underground palace, so he knew what the hilt looked like and the designs on its surface. While the inability to see the corpse's face had only left him with conjectures, now that he saw the sword, he was absolutely sure.
”How could this be!?”
Wang Chong's mind was shaking. He suddenly understood why this crowd was fearful, and he also understood why these mediocre martial artists had been able to reach this place without difficulty.
It's them!
A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind.
The second-generation successor was already in the Subtle realm and possessed the formidable Origin Immortal Art that made ordinary Subtle realm experts unable to contend with him. Across these caves, the only group with enough power to destroy the second-generation successor was them!
Whoosh!
A few moments later, a large group charged out of the narrow passage as if answering Wang Chong's thoughts. Unlike the other martial artists, these people had savage eyes and confident expressions.
”Careful!”
”They've come out!”
The appearance of these men in black agitated the crowd. In the uneasy atmosphere, the martial artists stared with wide eyes and swallowed, cold sweat trickling down their foreheads as expressions of fear appeared on their faces.
Wang Chong said nothing, but his face turned solemn.
The problem was obvious. After all the time that had passed, these mysterious and powerful men in black had finally reached the core. This was not Wang Chong's first time interacting with these people, and he was well aware of how brutal and vicious they could be.
But what was most important was their terrifying strength.
It's going to be difficult to get out of this! Wang Chong grimly said to himself.
At this moment…
Buzz!
Three enormous energies appeared in the passage, blazing and upright like the scorching sun.
Those who had been able to survive the numerous traps and dangers around the core area were all experts, but these three energies made everyone else feel like ants.
Boom! The earth quaked as three figures confidently strode out, their scornful eyes looking out from golden masks. Like gods descending to the mortal realm, they emerged from the passage and appeared before the crowd.
The air seemed to freeze as the invisible pressure exerted by this trio weighed on everyone else like a mountain.
Even Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, the Bone Devil Ancestor, and the Myriad Ghost Ancestor couldn't help but become vigilant, for the first time showing tension on their faces.
”Three people!”
Those god-like masked men brimming with golden light made Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief, and the Lone Silence Ancestor tremble in shock.
Wang Chong had run into one of these three before. This was the man with the three-eyed deer mask who had used a pair of giant golden hands to tear apart the barrier around the Origin Immortal Formation.
The man had sharp and cold eyes, and his body was brimming with a destructive high-level energy. He was clearly a peerless expert of the Subtle realm.
When one reached the Subtle realm, one would stand far above the vast majority of mortal experts, including peak Great Generals. It was like one was standing in the heavens while the other stood on the earth. Wang Chong's group was already deeply aware of this difference in power.
The man with the three-eyed deer mask possessed unfathomable strength, and he was not one bit weaker than the second-generation successor.
As for the other two…
