Infiltrating the Cave

Zhang Chen, disguised as an ordinary student studying in the classroom building, sat by the window reading while observing the Art Building in the distance.

"Has it started?"

In Zhang Chen's field of vision, a great deal of corpse aura seeped out from inside the Art Building and rapidly intensified within a minute. Even from nearly a thousand meters away, merely observing it gave Zhang Chen an immense sense of danger.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter formed visible ripples that spread from the top floor of the library at the center of Shilin University, brimming with righteous energy.

"It seems the Yulong Sect's sect master is a forthright and bold man. That doesn't quite fit Jia Xin's style, but it benefits Chong Ying and me."

At that moment, Chong Ying was in an inconspicuous corner of a parking shed behind the classroom building. Under her control, insects around the campus had been digging tunnels beneath the ground for the past hour.

"Brother Zhang Chen, it's ready."

Chong Ying made an OK gesture toward Zhang Chen, who sat by the window above.

"You didn't touch the black roots underground while digging, did you?" Zhang Chen asked.

"No. We dug shallow tunnels near the surface. The black roots extend roughly fifty meters underground, with only a small number of root tips in the upper layers. The little ones completely avoided them while digging. But directly tunneling to the cave beneath the stone bridge is impossible, since there are many black roots and a barrier seal around it."

"Mm, reaching the front of the cave is enough. All the cultivators are focused on Jia Xin and the other man now. This is the best opportunity."

Zhang Chen and Chong Ying followed the tunnel and arrived precisely at the left flank of the cave
