Mr. Li took Xu Feng down into the tomb for a look.
In that short time, the three Earthbreaking masters had already dug a large pit.
Not only that, they had cut steps into its sides. Those three alone had dug far faster than the entire Earth-Fire Cult crew.

Xu Feng voiced his question.
Mr. Li said, "A Corpse-Liberation Immortal's Underground Palace isn't hard to
