The one who appeared was none other than Yekun!
Yang Chen had clearly sensed that Peng Wanli deep underground had already awakened. Even his killing intent had traveled from afar, rushing straight at him.
If Yekun had not appeared, he believed Peng Wanli would have already shown himself by now.
Yet Yekun's appearance caused Peng Wanli's killing intent to vanish in an instant. It seemed Peng Wanli still feared Yekun to some extent.
Yekun frowned. "The Forbidden Demon Clan is indeed a branch of our Black Demon Clan. I went to liberate the Forbidden Demon Clan and arranged for them to return to the Black Demon Clan. After settling those matters, I sensed an astonishing aura coming from this place and hurried here. Just now, I even sensed a killing intent shooting into the heavens. Yang Chen, what happened?"
Even he had no choice but to take this seriously.
What had just occurred left him with a faint sense of unease.
Yang Chen could be certain that Peng Wanli's strength had not fully recovered yet, which was why he seemed somewhat afraid of Yekun. Otherwise, the killing intent he had released earlier would never have abruptly disappeared.
"Senior, come with this junior. I'll explain everything to you shortly," Yang Chen said.
Yekun did not know what Yang Chen had done. Precisely because of that, he wanted to go down and see what exactly had happened.
The two descended deep underground together, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to the tomb.
The aura of Peng Wanli's awakening had completely disappeared. Yang Chen and Yekun returned to the area, but what Yang Chen could not believe was that not only had Peng Wanli vanished, even the enormous palace containing precious treasures had disappeared as though it had never existed.
